Damn......Love love love me some Carlos Santana. Just fantastic. Even his weird shit.......

But hes tripping during his recent GW interview:

The guitarist (Carlos) believes SRV just wanted to feel the joy of playing guitar — and pushing air — one more time...........

“He said, ‘I don’t have any fingers; I am only spirit.’ He wanted to utilize my body.” Carlos Santana says Stevie Ray Vaughan begged him to play his #007 Dumble amp from beyond the grave..........

“I get visitations from Miles Davis sometimes, as well as B.B. King,” Carlos Santana says in a new, eye-opening interview with Guitar World. “Sometimes a dream is not a dream; someone has come back to communicate with you.”

That was the case, he believes, when Stevie Ray Vaughan entered his dreamscapes from beyond the grave..........

“He was saying, ‘Carlos, where I am, I don’t have any fingers; I am only spirit.’ He missed putting his fingers on a guitar and making the speakers push air,” Santana recalls of his supernatural visitation. “He told me to call his brother Jimmie and ask him to lend me his amp, the #007 Dumble, and then play it with a Strat so he could feel it through me.......


“You know that Ghost movie with Whoopi Goldberg?” he asks. “There’s a part where a ghost comes into her body so he can feel. That’s what Stevie was doing. He wanted to utilize my body and hands because he missed playing guitar.”.........


Holy shit...........I think he got ahold of that super Chinese weed they say has 20x the THC.........I bet Uber eats is bringing him Pizza and shit alllllll day long!!

Yeah…
That’s bothered me for almost 50 years.
Listening to Carlos Santana get all cerebral - even transcendental.

But all I ever heard sounded like my older siblings blathering a bunch of smoked-up “That 70s Show” silliness.

Whoopi Goldberg? :slap:

Dude - get the fuck outta here. :facepalm:

:io:

Good fucking lord, he’s lost his mind

Add another one to the what the fuck list
Carlos has been a little burnt around the edges for a while no? I think thats why he got along with Peter Green so well......both of them did not have elevators that reached the higher floors. Sometimes like in this conversation he had to walk the last flight......

Why do I think Santana would not be SRV first choice for the task? You would think Derek Trucks maybe?
Good point! Never thought about it from that perspective......but why not ask Jimmy!? Jimmy owns it all............

I don’t need (nor want) creative people to “be normal”. I’m normal as shit and will contribute no magic to the world.

EVH was an oddball. Mariah is an oddball. So what? If I want “normal” I’ll go to Target and walk around. Packed with “normal”. No one in there is doing something legendary.

I remember an interview with Jimmy Page in which his occult studies were discussed.

He basically said that he developed a system which worked for him (a belief system); I'm paraphrasing a lot here.

I think it's the same here for Carlos, whatever stories you tell yourself internally and which push/pull you forward in playing music, it's all fine.

Target?
I’m clearly missing something here.

I’ve been in Target a few times over the years, and “normal” is not what came to my mind.

Maybe it’s all of them?
Maybe it’s just me?

:naughty:

But if I was seeking “normal” I would not set the bar at what I observed there.

Walmart may have some real characters in some of their stores, but at least they’re not pretentious and condescending about it.

:rofl:

Of course not. But Id like people to be " relatively " normal. Like I started this thread off" I love LOVE love Carlos......but he has skewed the lines of whats reasonable and whats fucking El Loco. Guys like Rick Neilson and Gene Simmons are a good example of creative kooks. Then you got Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks who appear as normal as your next door neighbor. Guys like Carlos and Eddie are just fucking nuts. Thank God for thier abilities or who knows where they would be........

Yeah, I would find an employee and start asking questions about that kind of shit…

They would call the cops, and throw my “normal” ass out of there.
