Why do you morons have to make this DANNY GATTON vid be about Setzer? Both great players, but we only have one of them left, and we just lost Gary Moore. We better enjoy the great ones while they are still around, and quit the lameass bashing.

There's a guy named Johnny Hiland who is a Gatton disciple. "Better" is an impossible term, music isn't a competition and all players put their personalities into their playing, which makes it individual, but Hiland is very reminiscent of Gatton in technique and range, and purposely cops a lot of Gatton licks. On his first record he has a tribute song called Gatton To It.

There are people that appreciate good guitar playing ( such as this ) regardless of the player and the style of music being played. DG could obviously turn his hand to any style and was a master of his art. There are other people that think any musican other than the one(s) they like should be insulted and called un-talented. You people can't call anyone with a talent like Danny Gatton, Gary Moore, Roy Buchanan,etc anything other than Genius. If you haven't got anything good to say be quiet.

@lexo30 To me a silly argument is guaranteed whenever someone claims knowledge of the internal state of the players-which is pure projection on their part. Danny's playing doesn't move you-that is clear. What I disagree with is the leap from that to you knowing his emotional state by your responses. Ironically, one can play sublime music in an offhanded manner, or shit with great passion. I don't care what someone was feeling-that's their business. How I respond to it is mine.

@Gregorypeckory I listened to Blues Newburg, and, sure, I'll grant that there's some genuinely soulful and intelligent slow blues playing there, for a little while - but about 1:52 in he gets embarrassed, or loses his nerve, or something, and goes off into playing smart-assed licks, and after that he's just playing the head again with small variations. Still not convinced that he's underrated.

[Gregorypeckory]

@lexo30 You don't like him, and that's fair enough, but you are totally wrong about him not putting emotion in his playing. Listen to "Blues Newburg" (not sure I spelled it right), and you'll hear some of the most soulful blues ever, or "Satisfied Mind"-not sure how anyone would not hear the emotion there. But to each their own.

@Gregorypeckory What can I say? It's hot licks played at maximum speed - in other words, wanking. It's taken me quite a while to realise that Gatton's style of playing really isn't very musical and certainly isn't anything to be emulated.

[Gregorypeckory]

@lexo30 How do you know if he "admits emotion into it"? All you know is, you don't respond to it, but I hear tons of emotion, and do respond. It's nonsense to say he affected only other players because of no emotion. The fact is, he was a rising star, but his rise was difficult because nobody could figure out what genre to put him in. The jazz record he did was almost destroyed by ham fisted production that killed his tone, and people still loved it. Considering the commercial climate he killed

Brian Setzer and Danny Gatton are two brilliant guitarrists, both seeking perfection in their own style. It's wrong to say Brian is not in Danny's league, they both play masterclass. Of course if you ask Brian, he would say that Danny was better because Brian is one of the modest Guitar player with a good attitude. Same with Danny, he would say Brian has some incredible qualities which Danny never had. They respect each other, it's no competition.
