Whenever Tsu or I leave, it is customary for us to say - McLaughlin style - BYE BYE!

I've been watching him since he was little Johnny McLaughlin.

This guy makes Bill O'reilly look sane.

Oh, and I thought you were talking about the guitarist John McLaughlin who led the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

A household name since the early '70s, John McLaughlin was an innovative fusion guitarist when he led the Mahavishnu Orchestra and continued living up to his reputation as a phenomenal and consistently inquisitive player through the years. He started on guitar when he was 11 and was initially inspired by blues and swing players. McLaughlin worked with Alexis Korner, Graham Bond, Ginger Baker, and others in the 1960s and played free jazz with Gunter Hampel for six months. His first album was a classic (1969's Extrapolation) and was followed by an obscurity for the Dawns label with John Surman, a quintet set with Larry Young (Devotion), and My Goals Beyond in 1970 which was half acoustic solos and half jams involving Indian musicians.

I have a really cool album he did with Carlos Santana.

And he's done some really cool tunes in a trio with Al DiMeola and Paco De Lucia!

BWAHAHAHAHA

I first watched the SNL skit and then watched the real show... He sounds exactly like the guy from SNL... LOL

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I can say with absolute metaphysical certitude that McLaughlin is awesome. Sometimes even he can hardly keep a straight face. And he gets to tell Buchanan to shut up. Now how cool is that?

Oh yes, great show! Well worth watching, more often than not.

I think that was one of three character skits that Dana Carvey did that I thought was funny. He did the McLaughlin Group skits pretty often.

yeah friday night in san fransisco was one of my favourite albums at one time. i guess I've moved on from dimeola but i just got his live @ montreaux dvd recently which was good. i also liked john mclaughlin (the REAL one lol) live & the royal festival hall. it's a very laid-back album.

 

[Cyrus]

I would pay big money to see this guy tear Bill O'reilly a new ass on tv. I think Bill O'reilly gets nightmares of McLaughlin shreading him on his own show.
