We have Lou on, and here I'm obviously speculating, coke: Too bad the clip isn't longer

I'm sure most people were buzzed on something. Wanna play name the musician and what where they buzzed on? OK we have Santana on LSD... |

I owe a great debt to both of these guys musically speaking. Fun fact: Roller Jubilee was used in a Minute Rice commercial. Heheheheh.

This is one of my favourite performances. I know Carlos was on acid and that he thought his guitar was a snake, but the sheer fire and adventure steaming through this rendition is unmatched anywhere. (Also, I love the fact that he looks like a rodent during the tune. Man he's wasted)

Hey, that's kinda unfair as Santana's band was called Santana. Di Meola's wasn't called Return To Di Meola.

Shout out to my favorite Santana album:
favorite Di Meola is harder: This will be controversial, but for diversity and quantity: |

The only album I own by Al di Meola that really touches me on an emotional level, is the acoustic live album from San Francisco with John McLoughlin and Paco de Lucia, and that is mostly down to Paco actually.
I prefer Santana big time. My fave from him will always be Lotus |

Even though he is loosing this, Al DiMeola is way accomplished guitarist than Carlos Santana.

Al Di Meola is more technically skilled but Santana has always been one of my favorite guitarists and I would say makes better music. I find it hard to listen to too much Al Di Meola cause it's just so focused on being technical.

No vote for me. Either can play a bad ass guitar. Both have left their mark on music, just in different genres. I wish that I could have seen either one play at one point in my life.

Of course both are phenomenal guitar players, the question is who moves me the most? and that would be Mr. Santana.

Great idea for a poll.. They both have that spanish flair to them... Hmm... Actually really tough!!
I'll go with Santana because album-wise Santana is more... complete. Everything goes together so well.. Al Di Meola has great individual songs. |

I find this one hard. Di Meola's catalog is more progressive but when Santana is spot on, he's better than Al. My wife and I don't have too many artists in common, but Santana's more recent venture into popland (Supernatural, etc.) are good common ground on road trips. :)
Al hasn't done anything as beautiful as Europa... Although if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear it. I've got more Al than Carlos in my collection... On a side note, fans of both should really check out Phil Manzanera's solo stuff... Edited by Slartibartfast - January 12 2013 at 23:56 |
