Have you heard of this Romeo Rose? This is absolutely ABSURD. I remember reading his gear setup over a year ago on MySpace. He looked like a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan as he dresses like him, his gear setup would lead you to believe that he is after the Stevie Ray Vaughan tone, he “plays” the blues *rolls eyes* and I also think he is from Texas!?
Is this ridiculous or what? *sniff* I smell jealousy. I hate to even show the video on my blog here. but take a look at it. Perhaps send him some stfu mail if you feel that urge.

@Emie - I’ve watched some of that Judge Judy video last night. He’s a joke! I think I heard that jimmie Vaughan is putting out like 500k just to shut this joker up.

What a joke this guy is. Your right he is jealous of Stevie Ray. He wishes he was half as good as Stevie. He needs an attitude adjustment.
Stevie Ray was the Best Blues player of his time, period.

I know a lot of you guitar bangers will hate me for saying this but, SRV was extremely overrated. His music is incredibly overplayed. His solo tunes sound very trivial, stock and not particularly visceral (at least as far as blues/rock is concerned) either. Sorry, I honestly feel this way. I was sick of hearing his stuff on the radio 15 years ago and I just don’t think he was all that great. Okay, so he could rip through a Hendrix tune live and was a virtuoso musician and all of that. Virtuoso guitarists are a dime a dozen, that didn’t necessarily make the guy a great songwriter in the first place and in my humble opinion he definitely wasn’t. He might have turned into one later on, but his music just doesn’t do it for me. He sounded and looked like some smarmy walking cliche from Texas trying to convince everybody that he was so authentic, that he really had it in him and was pouring his soul out and all of that. This while he was probably in some dark dressing room backstage shooting black tar heroin into his veins. Please. If I want to hear real blues I will put on some Muddy Waters.

@ Gregg Orange - Are you a guitar player? If you are, I apologize, but your reply tells me you’re not a guitarist. I know everyone has their opinions, but you gotta respect the man. You gotta give it to him. I’ve never listened to a guitarist that was so flawless and emotional the way SRV was. Everyone from housewives to metal heads respect him. His HUGE tone, speed and his voice were amazing. He is praised and looked up to for a reason…he inspired many. You don’t have to be a big song writer to be an amazing artist. It’s the way he played his instrument that made him stand out from the rest of the blues players. He introduced blues to the younger crowd in the 80s and made it cool again.
Over rated? Eric Clapton *MAYBE*
Yeah he did have drug problems just as many guitar players have had. But he got cleaned up and told his story.
