Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you lovers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you killers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, better leave your lights on
'Cause there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel, with a hand on my head
She say I got nothing to fear
There's a darkness living deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your light shine deep into my hole
God, don't let me lose my nerve
Don't let me lose my nerve
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Whoa oh hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on
'Cause there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
And there's an angel with a hand on my head
She say I've got nothing to fear,
She say's
La la la hey la la
We all shine like stars
La la la hey la la
We all shine like stars
Then we fade away
Wasnt that originally a recording of the actor Jeffrey Tambor and his "catch phrase"?
How'd you get that link to work?... I found a clip of Larry Sanders sidekick explaining how Howard got that recording etc... but it won't insert?
Ever heard Howard Stern say the big Hey Now? He gives it a whole cosmic, earth shattering meaning..... heh.... HOWARD'S HEY NOWS

Obviously this is a troll post but, I'll bite, seeing as how I've seen all 4 of the aforementioned guitarists perform live. I'm no expert but the anecdotal evidence puts the lie to this ridiculous assertion.
The truly great guitar players make the complicated look effortless. Clapton does it. Just watch him. He leans back and the music just flows right thru him and out that guitar. Knopfler and Page as well. It's amazing to see and it's why we go to the live show.
Carlos Santana easily meets this criteria. In some ways he does it in an even more soulful way than the other three. He'll just lean way back, bite that lower lip, and just unload the most beautiful jams. Chills, people! Chills.
Versalog has NEVER seen Carlos play. If he/she did they either had cotton in their ears, talked to their friend during the entire performance (guessing this could well be the case), or do not know what great guitar looks OR sounds like.
just for our special boy here I rated this a 10. and then made 42 more accounts and rated it a 10 there too!
so, there!
He is an accomplished guitarist and has joined the unique club of generating a personality of sound that you recognise immediately who is playing, unlike the ,millions of text book guitarist who are grey unknowns and always will be, even though they are also technically brilliant.
There would be no Mark Knoffler without JJ Cale , I rest my case.
There is no major guitarist named Mark Knoffler. It seems you've been misinformed. There IS a Mark Knopfler, but I think JJ Cale sounds nothing like he nor Knopfler like him, so I puzzle at the comparison or assertion. Anyway, as one of Santana's biggest fans, I shy from your description that he's 'generating a personality.' He spent years seeking his most soulful tone and style. So did Gilmour. And Knopfler. And Hendrix. And all the other greats. Including JJ Cale. You got a problem with that, I doubt they would care.
Ever heard Howard Stern say the big Hey Now? He gives it a whole cosmic, earth shattering meaning..... heh.... HOWARD'S HEY NOWS
Howard Stern is a putz
So what's with "hey now" anyway? Is it something they say a lot in some parts of the country but not others? I never hear it growing up, but then I heard the GD sing "Iko-Iko". These guys are saying it, I think London Grammar has a song in which they keep saying it. I believe there are others.
It's prevalence seems to imply that it has some significant meaning, but how could it? It just seems sort of stupid...

My complaint with Carlos' sound is that it sounds the same in almost every song. He's clearly talented but I couldn't listen to an album of his, even with the varied singers that has on this album.
Everybody has different tastes! I like it! Thank You for being polite in your comment!
Spoken like someone who's never played a single note of music.

not sure why comparison is ever necessary?
This is one of those tracks where someone in the studio should have said, " Carlos, what the hell are you doing in that guitar break.? Scrap that, run the tape again..."
Perhaps he'd been given The Bends for Christmas...
Like you said, h8rhater, and the sports analogy I'll give is Ken Griffey Jr. As a kid, watching my era's "Natural" play, yeah, he got a lot of crap for not "trying hard enough when in actuality he was just SO NATURALLY GIFTED that it just appeared he wasn't trying hard enough. I'll put Santana in the Griffey category....HoF'er for sure...Long Live RP and all the greats BnR play!!
Like watching Andruw Jones play the outfield. He almost never had to dive for a catch - he was already there. Supernatural instinct for where the ball was going. Helped to be lightning-fast on his feet too. Made it look easy - all the best ones do.

I think this disc has some of his finest work, and nicely recorded too.

And when you sit / stand sixth row center and watch him (40 years ago, to be sure) as I did, conduct with graceful, thunderous improv what is almost an out of body experience for 2000 or more in the audience, you know you are in the presence of the most unusual.

A rank amateur comment. I defend against this here frequently. This monster hit album aside (which frankly even as one of his most ardent fans is not in the same stellar class as most of the first half of his career), if you'd ever SEEN him play, and were nearly as familiar as I am with the many deep cuts in his catalogue, you wouldn't be so snide. Good luck with your musical superstardom.
said the clueless
+a curious observation ….and No mention of Hendrix (lol)
PS. R .P we need more Hendrix : >

Garbage.
I can name a dozen or 20 tracks that will match him against any ax man. In fact, I think he is one of the great musicians of my lifetime. And over the decades, he has played with all of them. And they have played with him. And he is still cooking up the magical musical sauce.

Would you like to find out who those guys rate as a guitar god? Also read Gary Moor, or pretty much any other lead guitarist who plays in front of real audiences.
He's aged quite nicely into his elder role... I quite like his acoustic stuff.
Though Everlast is not my cup of tea either, I think you're being overly harsh on Rob Thomas. "Smooth" introduced a younger generation to Carlos, the epitome of "smooth." I say "hell yeah!" to that....let the kids hear the master play!

I get that Santana doesn't sing and I'd rather he just not than try and sound bad. However, how hard up did he have to be to get Everlast? I can see the conversation now...
Santana: Wait, who is doing the vocals for Put Your Lights On?
Label Exec: A singer named Everlast.
S: Never heard of him.
LE: He had an album.
S:So did Milli Vanilli, that does not mean they should be on my album.

Pantheon of Guitar Gods. And I would agree with that, btw. 45 years since Fillmore East, and counting, still touring and recording. Few can equal that, much less beat it, and over the years he's played with all or most of the so-called guitar gods, as well as a good percentage of the jazz gods, be they guitar or other.
Rob Lowe was perfect for "Cool" and did the song justice.

Personally, I didn't think the guy was that talented, nor have I ever heard any vocal from him half so good before or since. But sometimes vocalists "sing up" in the company of greatness. You are a mindless, tasteless bitcher, Byron. Keep snorkeling in the Styxx and you'll likely catch sight of the Turd of the Year, assuming you find a mirror down there in the gloom.

That would be "Smooth", not "Cool", and Rob Thomas, not Rob Lowe. And not that I know that much about him, but Everlast has some good tunes, including "Kill the Emperor,' which may be kind of as good as an angry protest rap is going to get.
Agreed. In context this works great.
Ouch!

Awesome transitioon between this & One More Cup Of Coffee
Noone does it like him, thank goodness. Why does he think he needs to play between every break in the vocals? Annoying
and so boring!
Just like The Ramones!
I like this tune, but have not heard others by Everlast. Sounds like he needs to work on some new chord progressions!
Well, having Tom would be great, and back to the keyboards that Santana sounded great with. Actually though, Greg Rolie would be my choice.
The singer is Everlast (Erik Schrody). His breakout album was 'Whitey Ford Sings the Blues', which, if you like this, is worth a listen.
That's not his voice, it is Everlast aka Erik Schrody.
Bob Dylan - One more cup of coffee —-> Santana - Put your lights on.
Perfect!
The wikipedia article on the album says (currently): "The album, conceived by Clive Davis and A&R'd by Pete Ganbarg, was phenomenally successful, eventually selling over 25 million copies worldwide; it is generally seen to have revived Santana's dormant career." So I guess it achieved what was wanted - but I could happily skip the whole album. The signature Santana sound suffers hugely from the absence of keyboards player Tom Coster IMO.
Does this really matter? We're not in a concert. We're listening to radio, and this song doesn't fit well.
This song, like many others of his, is awful. Please stop playing Santana.
Actually, it's not really the notes, it's the way he composes his solos. He does that little double-picking on the same note with the bend on damn near every song of his I've ever heard, for example. There are just too many "patterns" and repeats for him to be in the upper echelon of guitar players, IMHO. He's a fine player in a great many ways... as a matter of fact, I saw him on a PBS special playing drums and keys, and he really impressed me with his musicality... but for some reason his guitar playing seems to have gotten to a particular point and just stopped. If I were someone who is able to make music for a living (I have the desire but not the commercial ability and maybe not even the skill, depending on who you ask), you'd better damn well believe I'd be constantly reworking and refreshing my voice on my instrument. I don't understand how he doesn't... not trying to judge per se, just saying...
So like him, it's cool with me, but at least understand where some of us are coming from when it comes to his soloing.
Sounds more like Everlast feat. Santana.
Much to Santana's detriment. Like an anchor on a corvette.
Man, Carlos sure takes a drubbing in this community. First, his tone is unmistakable—that means it's unique. Sorta like SRV's. Harrison's, Garcia's, Bloomfield's, and others. Second, yes, he has some signature licks, and I guess that's what the hoo-ha is about. But, dig it, if you're a guitarist—I am, and I suppose RedGuitar is, too—then you have learned, know, and love the B.B. King trick lick, which shows up in nearly everything he does. I don't hear any complaints about that. Ditto SRV. He had a couple that he'd start or end a run with or use as a turn-around. Point is that for some, their style encompasses certain signatures: that's how you know who they are.
I first saw Carlos with the orignal Santana in San Francisco—the old Carousel Ballroom before Graham rebadged it "Fillmore West"—before their first album was released. Simply blew everyone through the back of the building. Carlos was then and is now one of the originals.
I whole-heartedly agree... even very talented guitarists have difficulty trying to sound like Santana. It's so easy being a spectator!
Sounds more like Everlast feat. Santana.
Feel the same...but it's only my first time hearing it.
I see your "ugh" and raise you a "Holy hell...what is this crap?!" (IMO, of course...to each his/her own)
He does sound like that, but I've noticed that in Stevie Ray's playing, too - licks that keep showing up in different songs. Perhaps Carlos does it more noticeably or more often. I do love his playing though.

Plus he has a popular line of boxing accessories.
LMAO. I always liked him and wished he had a more original name. I hate rap nowadays, but I still proubly admit that I used to love House of Pain.
bad
segue
from DylanPlus he has a popular line of boxing accessories.
fredriley: Everlast is former front man from hip-hop group House of Pain. He turned into a rocker a few years back and that's him singing.
