Right, he is one of favourite musicians (along with fratellis, muse, red hot chilis and stuff) what do you chaps think of him. I think he is an amazing singer and guitarist. My fav song by him is:
"Smooth - Carlos Santana feat. Rob Thomas"

Thoughts on this amazing guy?...

Colr · 12-01-08, 21:02

Yes, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Admire his technique but wouldn't buy his records.

I agree

i enjoy his cover of the zombies song "she's not there" but smooth is still my favourite.

Santana were an amazing band. Carlos' playing is technically and artistically superb. It's also distinctive/samey, depending on your point of view.

He was a big fan of Peter Green and used Green's title The Supernatural as the name for the Santana album as a tribute to Greeny.

Personally I think he's become too MOR in his old age. For me the 70s was his best era, with the three album run from Santana, through Abraxas to Santana 3, together with his Woodstock performance, making him one of the foremost artists of the time.

I thoroughly recommend his triple live album, Lotus.

Not my cuppa i'm afraid.

The biggest single factor in my decision is his sound, feckin hate it.

No doubting his technical ability though.

Whilst I can appreciate Carlos Santana for his guitar playing, his band don't really do it for me. I saw them in 1984 supporting Bob Dylan at Newcastle and as I say they were excellent musicians but their set seemed to go on forever.

I was there! Great show.

Smooth is a great song and I quite like some of his other stuff as well, wouldn't be a massive fan though

Black Magic Woman is very good but not a patch on the Greeny fellas.
