Members The Burninator Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 Offcourse religion doesn't matter/ Ron Thal. I didn't know he's a jew 'till I read this interview:http://www.metalist.co.il/InterviewPrivate.asp?id=182?=eng two questions before the last one. Zappa wasn't jewish, he was arab, french, greek, italian, and some other stuff. He was born and raised catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 And since we're counting dead Jews as well as live ones, spare a moment for former Free guitar guy Paul Kossoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems innate, most races naes for themselves come down to "we're the REAL people".And for Christ's sake, who came up with the MOBO awards? There would be riots in the streets if they had a "music of white origin" award show!!!Also... I hope that people who are thinking Ratae is being racist realise that he is merely quoting from "monty python and the holy grail"... The bit where a jew is describing HIMSELF because his mother has just informed him he's probably half-roman... with a father called "Bigus Dickus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 My guess is that it probably isn't a rock guitarist, though Mike Bloomfield was pretty dang good. And as far as I know Chet Atkins wasn't Jewish and probably not Jimmy Bryant or Roy Lanham. Unless I think of somebody later I will go with Gary Lucas or Marc Ribot, that is if Marc Ribot is Jewish. But both Gary and Marc play on John Zorn's Tzadik label. And both of them pwn everybody mentioned on here so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sporka Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 There are some pretty good jewish musicians(Bob Dylan, for example), but not many famous jewish "guitarists" that are known for their chops. Maybe we don't have rhythm? (I can say it). Cartman was right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 Since Marc Ribot has been known to play specifically Jewish music festivals, I'd say he's definitely in. And Steve Vai definitely isn't. Italian-American Catholic all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herberman plays pretty well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
