His background slide playing is fantastic on alot of tunes. That gets missed by most.
Are you freaking kidding? Bobby's slide playing is just well, lets just say it ain't great. If you saw the movie night of the Alpine Valley show, at one point Bobby is playing slide, and Jerry is just cringing.
After Bobby is done, Jerry is cracking up.
I am going to admit it, I am one of the "most" that misses the fantastic-ness of Bobby's slide playing.
Here are some of the slide players that hit the mark:
Duane
Derrick
Johhny Winter
Bonnie Rait
Don't misunderstand, Bobby has written some great songs, and is probably one of the best rhythm guitar players out there (don't forget Keith Richards is a rhythm player). Jerry even said once that Bobby is the best in the business. But as great as Bobby is, he will never be remembered for his slide playing. Not favorably anyway...................
