Something about playing soul in front of a soulless audience makes it stale and flat. No diss on Muddy Waters. It's kind of like San Francisco hipsters who jump on the bandwagon of cool and pretend to have been die-hards since the days before whatever it was was cool. It never really works though. Switzerland's great but blues doesn't really feel the same there as in real blues havens from Chicago to New Orleans.
@jkirk1626 yea, you right! they ain't feelin' it. They are playing tighter that Einstein's hat band, but there's nothing coming back from the audience. there is not call and response. the signal gets lost.
@peaceloveandsf yes he was, and i pay tribute to him every time i perform, this song perhaps is one of the all time classic blues tunes, many artists covered it, including the Yardbirds, but Muddy's version still the best
omg @ ppl is free huh??? gone muddy !!!! I love Erykah Badu's version for the H&M 2010 commercial .... I LOVE it. I was supposed to be born during this era lolz<3
Once you learn to apreciate this man, all his fellow Blues musitions, and their messages'... Then you can call Your self a man. And to all those people you think that Mr. Lady Gaga and Lil' Miss Justin Bieber are the Musical talent of the world, just know Those artists (If you can call them that) have no passion in their words and all they talk about is stupid Little drama pop-ups.

buddy guy! saw him live this year in singapore, to think that he feels that no one could ever match muddy waters... must have been great to see muddy live
@AK1292 The chord progression E- A- G you're talking about is probably the most popular and 'reused' riff in the world =) It's in hundreds if not thousands of songs... and probably in more than one Led Zep song. But specifically...'whole Lotta Love' sounds like a sped up version. If not, it could be Rolling Stones as they use the same riff in lots of songs (especially earlier music which was mainly straight blues covers of artists like Muddy Waters).
Just have to say this one thing.....Music wouldn't be the way it was today....rock wouldnt be the way it was or is....without guys like Muddy, B.B , Howling Wolf...Robert Johnson. So just stuff the stealing crap....sure we all did....the music influenced us all....we copied, we stole, but we made it our own thru how we played it and how it felt. If it wasn't for these guys... would we have rock and roll?
White rockers have certainly "borrowed","stolen" or whatever the sound and the feeling that only the bluesmen had.And how couldn't they?The bluesmen were all children of slaves.Slavery had given them sorrow that no other race had ever lived before.Sorrow is lots of times a creative force.Rarely isart born on the sunny side of the street.
@november191968 Not just white rockers stole licks and lyrics. Good arists no matter what color generally gave credit to the artists they were copying. SRV and Clapton were two. No doubt there is still a lot of thieving going on.
yardbirds took mannish boy and made version simply called i'm a man, great guitar work by jeff beck on that version, but muddy's original is still the best, i do this song with my band
Now this is music! Without guys like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Howlin' Wolf today's rock artists would be nowhere. Just listen to this song, you can FEEL the pain!
Exactly! Mannish Boy came out in 60's. A lot of these early blues cats were robbed BLIND by lazy ass rockers. These early blues paved the way for EVERY ROCK band in existance today. U can FEEL the pain in this song. 90% of Led Zepplin's music was STOLEN from cats like these.
"90% of Led Zepplin's music was STOLEN from cats like these. " This is bs. There is a huge difference between influence and stealing. Plant may have left some lyrics the same out of flattery and respect, but that is a far far cry from 90% stealing. Besides Zep considered themselves a blues artists and blues artists have been "stealing" from each other for ever.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like Dallas Taylor and his brother on rhythm guitar and drums, Bill Wyman on bass, Buddy Guy on lead ( Muddy doesn't seem to be hitting all that many licks) and Junior Wells on harp, with Pinetop Perkins on keys.
Will you look at those dead motherfuckers in the audience? Their listening to a classic being recorded and they all have popsicles up their asses!
