@SooperKewl It's not black music, it is American music.  If you want to look at it in racial terms, Chuck Berry is playing an electric guitar, which is a white man's invention. Let's get off this racial stuff all of the time!

1:55 DEM BE MURDERIN' EYES.

I was waiting for American Psycho music to start playing, and for the camera to zoom in.

@SooperKewl -- Whereas one can surely find kinda "blue notes" in Beethoven's & Brahms' works, you're damn right man.

Keith said in an interview he wanted to do a show with Chuck Berry and a crack band, unlike a lot of crappy bands that Chuck would play with. He felt a responsibility to have everything perfect. Chuck on the other hand wanted things to be loose, relaxed and a little more fun, a lot of his bitching about petty things was just his way of passively resisting Keith's overcontrol of everything. The friction between them did make the documentary more entertaining.

@SooperKewl

"SRV was one of the greatest bluesmen of all time." and you complain about someone who think Vanilla Ice was no imitation :-)

SRV was very good but never (n e v e r) in the same league of innovative bluesmen (for originality) like BB KING,SONNY BOY I&II,CHUCK BERRY,LONNIE JOHNSON,CHARLEY PATTON,T-BONE WALKER,OTIS SPANN,ELMORE JAMES,LITTLE WALTER,HOWLING WOLF,JIMMY REED to mention only a few.

@SooperKewl First of all, I wasn't question the African roots, I was genuinely curious.

Secondly, I didn't understand your concept of original vs imitation; it was kind of vague.

[SooperKewl]

@Nauticus89 Also, if you don't understand the concept of originality / creativity vs. imitation, then i'm sure you probably think Vanilla Ice was the most talented and innovative hip hop artists of a generation.

On the other hand, race doesn't necessarily imply pale imitation: SRV was one of the greatest bluesmen of all time.

[SooperKewl]

@Nauticus89 the songs of the griots of West Africa, or the bardic traditions of East Africa, or the music of Yoruba priests, or the calls to prayer of the Islamic muezzins. and so on....

African Americans have given the world a tremendous gift in the form of their traditional folk music, which ultimately led to the rock and roll the entire world embraced. not to mention jazz, soul, gospel and hip hop. To not acknowledge this fact is willfully ignorant and disrespectful.
