In that progressive guitar pantheon of Howe, Hackett and Fripp, Gary’s name should be equally revered. And if the four of them were pitted against each other in a blues-rock cutting session, Gary would blow them all of the stage. He could really make that bastard howl! I appreciate him more and more as the years pass. Happy Birthday, Gary!
Yes, fantastic band. But underrated by who? Most people who enjoy so-called "progressive rock" are familiar with "Gentle Giant" and generally like them
@@alekseydaniloff1987 agree, but they are definitely not as well known (and criminally nor were they as profitable) as Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer,King crimson, Jethro Tull etc.
One of my favourite guitarists alongside Andy Latimer. I don’t think he's underrated by those of us who know him. I do think he should be much better known though. Happy birthday Gary.
I saw Gentle Giant on the 'Missing Piece' tour in (I think) '77 at the Calderon Concert Hall, on Long Island. Sat 8th row ... fantastic show! Has always been one of my favorite prog bands.
Exact on 28.02.1977. It was the Playing The Fool-Tour. The fantastic setlist: The Runaway Experience On Reflection As Old As You're Young Just The Same Playing The Game Memories Of Old Days Winning For Nobody Funny Ways So Sincere Free Hand Excerpts From Octopus
It’s extremely hard to choose a favorite member of the band for me but it just has to be Gary, with Ray as an easy runner up. They’re all insanely talented and beyond multi-faceted, and I wish they all had more exposure. He’s one of the most underrated guitarists in the world, and on top of that he’s got that Mick Fleetwood kind of stage enthusiasm that’s kind of contagious. I really do think he’s up there with the likes of Fripp, Belew, Hackett and Gilmour.
incredible timing, tone, personality, taste, authority, crossing many styles with ease yet retaining an original blues flavour.. one of the most inspiring prog guitarist ever, Happy Birthday Great Gary!
HBD Gary Green! My favourite thing about Gary is that his playing always has monumental balls. Especially compared to most of his progressive rock peers. Obviously, he's technically proficient on the twiddly bits and sensitive with the acoustic parts required in the music of GG, but when he plays a solo, it's always major cojones time!
Great Numbers... great-great numbers, Gary Green, some of the greatest numb-ers I have Gnome. Ever. That such a Gentle Giant exists HIS Immortalized riffs riffing in many a head 🙏THANK YOU 🙏THANK YOU 🙏THANK YOU Happy NameDay GG May You have many more. Grokking Great Numbers.
