    The first G3 was Satch, Vai, and Eric Johnson.

     

    Kenny Wayne Shepherd is great...but he was so heavily influenced by SRV that after Ledbetter Heights I basically told myself "I can just listen to SRV albums instead," and kind-of lost interest.  

     

    Yea you can tell SRV really influenced him 

     

    but he also influenced a bunch of other artists as well

    I wasn't being critical--I like that 41 is young! I was just saying that he's not likely to find himself as the lead guitar in a happening band at age 41. He can certainly tour, and maybe be a guitarist for an established band. But for whatever reason, he's one of those guys who never broke through to that next level despite having all the talent in the world. Music is tough like that--I have known some unreal talented people and bands that went nowhere but local/regional. 

     

    Definitely and it get what your saying I don’t think you were critical ...

     

    but he also doenst want to be in an established band... he wants to be the front of Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

     

    Thats his band for 20+ years, he isn’t leaving 

     

    I would say 4 platinum albums and being worth millions of dollars is established as an artist... just not joe Walsh level

    He's your classic touring, working musician who can fill a 1,500 seat venue all day long, but that's kind of it.

     

    He's the sort of act that plays at Wolf Trap in the DC area or WNY's Art Park.

     

    The same crowd who would go see him (myself included) would go see Jeff Beck's current touring show, which is fantastic.


    But he isn't going to fill an 18,000 seat auditorium.

     

     

     

    There was certainly 10,000 + last night. Probably 15k

    At 41, he’s not young. But he is great. 

     

    Eddie needed his brother to manage him and VH had an awesome supporting cast. 

     

    Any of thhe G3 guitarists over the years had all the talent in the world but elected to do their solo thing or just couldn’t work in a band setting. 

    41 compared to all the other acts around him is pretty young 

     

    If he wants he can have 20+ years of rocking and his band was phenomenal 

     

    He isn’t old if that’s worded better lol

    Did the same thing 3 years ago.  I said to my wife and kids that he's as talented as Eddie on the guitar, but for various reasons had nowhere near the success, i.e. it takes more than talent alone.

     

    Yea he’s still a young guy and his style (southern rock/blues rock) isn’t exactly super popular these days 

     

    but he does have 4 platinum albums and a gold and is still super successful

    :lol: what’s really weird is that before 9/11 when crossing the border really was not that big of a deal the countries really did not seem to be separated.  Now, while getting across the border remains relatively uneventful it is more significant.  It really feels like you are crossing into a foreign country.  

     

    Yep yep I agree

     

    Being near one of the largest crossings at Niagara Falls it definitely isn’t as quick and streamlined like it used to be

     

    (and the dude has it completely wrong... the only things that make Buffalonians Canadian are Labatts and Hockey, eh)

    Is this kid legit or just an athlete?

     

     

     

    He came in as a dual threat ... a better runner than passer

     

    had a little hitch in his delivery when he came on campus but his mechanics are slowly improving 

     

    He was 6’1 his SR year of HS... when he stepped onto campus at UB he had grown to 6’6 1/2

     

    thats a massive growth and it takes a bit to fill into your body 

     

    4 years on Campus at UB and he has great size and a strong arm. Can really zip it

     

    He has to work on mechanics (upper and lower) but his growth potential as a QB is massive

     

    He has impeccable size and great athleticism... and 2 years left of eligibility 

     

    i would think if he continues to improve he is worth a 5-7 round pick on his potential alone. Great size, arm strength and athleticism 

     

    backup potential rn

    If Mahomes doesn’t succeed, he has no excuses.  He might be in the best situation in the entire nfl.

     

    and that’s why Allen shouldn’t play.  This might be one of the worst offensive groups in the entire nfl.  His best trait is a cannon and we have the slowest wrs in the nfl.

     

    You can also look at it as the opposite...

     

    Josh puts footballs through windows no other QB can...

     

    he can put it in tight spaces... with slower receivers you need a QB who could put it in a tight window 

     

     

    Bicyclists aren’t the smartest
