@TimTimTimbo - Laurie Wisefield, whoever that is, was far and away the most tasteful - Montrose - the least tasteful. Lots of run-on notes - no dynamics - no sense to his note selection. In a word, tasteless!

While Wisefield and Trower is real tasteful , Montrose and Derringer is showing off in boring guitar masturbation

[penguin99ify]

Like em' or not, they've all been baptized by fire and are better players than 98% of the guitarists today. Listen to the records each one has produced before passing judgement.

Wisefield was by far the best. I'm more of a Trower/Montrose guy, but Wisefield schooled them. Trower was decent, but Montrose looked like a guitarist who's been out of a job too long and is overdoing it to get the gig...lol.

Cosby show, what up!

old school says about those who unduly critisize...if you can do better than them then prove it, otherwise.... well it trust you get. BLUFF action speaks louder than words.

@MeisterJoe1 Ted Turner and Andy Powell were the guitarists when "blowin free" was recorded. Wisefield's first album with Ash was "there's the rub" in 1974. His signature song, with the ash, was "Living proof". great stuff

i have seen all these guys live. i will go see trower every time he comes to town. he is amazing.

@70sforever1 Wisefield was in Wishbone Ash, best song they had was Blowin Free but i don't think it was Wisefield on that, not 100% but fairly sure it wasn't

[MeisterJoe1]

Laurie Wisefield was in Wishbone Ash for a period, but the best song they had in my opinion is Blowin Free.

Nobody has really mentioned how difficult it is to play something distinctive in a situation like this. As a player trading solos you want to distinguish yourself from the guys around you. Think about that before criticizing Montrose too much. From his point of view, how would he compete with Trower, who owns the smooth, liquid, vocal-sounding vibrato, or with Wisefield, who owns the blues feeling and phrasing here? I give credit to Ronnie for coming up with something "left-field" here.
