Classic Rock

[Ph34r_m3]

they were bad musicians who made boring music. hendrix isnt very good either, maybe a good guitarist but i dont like his music.
Then you must DIE. Why do you bother flaming Hendrix.... It won't go over very ****ing well. :evil:

[RockAndRoll]

im not. i like plenty of $hit musicians but people say they were the BEST musicians ever, and completely believe it, its ridiculous they are way over rated.
So? people call lots of people the best musicians ever everywhere from good charlotte and britney spears to mozart and beethoven. And even your favourite artists too. You don't seem to hate them for it. Hateing someone for what other people think of them is illogical.

they did not write the best songs of all time. there is one or two songs i can listen to and not want to hurt small creatures. they're music is dull, gutless and boring.
Want to actually debate this instead of being another criticizing prick? Provide reasons and back them up.

Dull in what aspect?
Gutless? Gutless in what aspect? because in most they actually did a lot of new "riské" things, they were the guys in long hair when it wasn't acceptable, they used odd sounds no body really used, they did and talked about drugs in their music.
Boring in what aspect?

Don't come in here and just be a criticizing prick saying so and so sucks, you just sound ignorant and foolish.

[B0nz0]

i think he's too scared to come back...

[B0nz0]

Don't come in here and just be a criticizing prick saying so and so sucks, you just sound ignorant and foolish.

amen. Anyways, back to music...

What's your favorite Beatles album. Mine would definetaly have to be Sgt. Peppers. it's just soooo creative. and it has a day in the life. THough my runner up is the White Album, just because it had so many diverse but good songs...

[rocked not rolled]

Sgt peppers is my favorite probably. or I guess magical mystery tour.

This goes to show, you don't insult the beatles in the classic rock thread and live :thumb:

[B0nz0]

Sgt peppers is my favorite probably. or I guess magical mystery tour.

This goes to show, you don't insult the beatles in the classic rock thread and live :thumb:

lol and then he def crossed a line by calling them talentless. i think they'll find his body in a few weeks at the bottom of a swamp.

[rocked not rolled]

:thumb: He called hendrix talentless :lol:. Man some serious idiots post in here.

[RockAndRoll]

I have no Idea what my favourite beatles album is. :(

[Seafroggys]

My favorite overall is Abbey Road, but most of my favorite songs are on the White Album.

I say Abbey Road because all the songs are really good and the album meshes really well and is polished.

You have to admit the White Album has some crappy stuff on there (Wild Honey Pie, my god!), which is why it isn't my favorite album, but my god Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, Birthday, Dear Prudance, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired, Yer Blues.....that in itself would make the best album of all time.

[Badmoon]

I really like Sgt. Peppers, but my favorite is The White Album. It's so abstract, and odd. And has so many great tracks.

[themightyquinn]

The White Album is the greatest album ever made. It is the most diverse album in rock, because it was more like a solo effort by the fab four. Plus there are so many great songs on it like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Dear Prudence, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Julia, Helter Skelter, and Birthday. And Wild Honey Pie is a great psychedelic song, whats wrong with it?

[B0nz0]

When ppl talk about favorite beatles albums, the three that always seem to come up are Sgt. Peppers, WHite Album, and Abbey Road. But the Beatles had tons of other good albums that i seldom hear mentioned. Rubber Soul and Revolver are both greeeat albums. And Let It Be is quite good as well. Meet The Beatles and Magical Mystery tour are mentioned even less, but are also good albums. what are your thoughts on these lesser talked about beatles albums?

[themightyquinn]

Actually, Revolver is considered the greatest album of all time on some lists. Magical Mystery Tour is very underrated, just look at all the #1 songs on it. Rubber Soul was the beginning of the path to Sgt. Peppers and the White Album, and it is just **** good.

[rocked not rolled]

tr00

*bumpzorz*

[Badmoon]

I really like Let it Be, too. Such great songs, with some very odd timings.

[rocked not rolled]

Yup, so much quality in each one it's hard to pick.

[itdiestoday]

my mates band from London One For Nothing have old skool rock influences but modern sound, nothin groundbreaking but gd fun. Check out the solo on "here i am" on www.purevolume.com/onefornothing at around 2.10, very randy rhodes meets dave murray

[rocked not rolled]

The Doors!

[keep on phishin']

i would say the doors dont sound much like anybody. they are one of a kind.

[_HiGhVoLtAgE_]

ac\dc sucks. led zeppelin sucks. the beatles especially suck and were the backstreet boys of the 60s and 70s. the only good 'classic' rock is Neil young and rush..and maybe boston. dylan aint to bad either...

tihs guy has no idea what classic rock is. hey buddy do us all a favor go home and put a bullet in your head

[B0nz0]

tihs guy has no idea what classic rock is. hey buddy do us all a favor go home and put a bullet in your head
lol that was the second nicest thing someone who never comes here has said...

[B0nz0]

i would say the doors dont sound much like anybody. they are one of a kind.
agreed.

The Doors combined classical keyboard work with flamenco guitar and jazz drumming, making a unique, often imitated, but never duplicated sound.

[heyjude8288]

Everybody in my band is, although not as much as me. My best friend's favorite is Jimi, and a lot of kids dig that.

I always see a lot of Jimi and Zepplin, which, there's nothing wrong with that, but there's.....better bands out there (COUGH-Who, Beatles-COUGH).

That's just my opinion, lol.

There is one thing though, and sorry if I offend any guitar players out there. Many guitarists at my school get extreamly cocky if they can play at least one Hendrix song all the way through, and though, while that's very impressive, it's really nothing to get hung up about.

Play some stuff that Townsend did, then I'll give you a hand. (Not that Townsend was better than Jimi, although in my opinon he was, but just how many times Townsend multi-tracked and the solos upon solos in each song. Example: "Who Are You?"'s acoustic solo).

[Badmoon]

Pete Townshend is more of a rythmic guitarist. So, I try not to compare him to Hendrix, both very different. If you want to compare Townshend to someone, compare him to Tony Iommi. Both similar.

[GuitarComet]

I think the problem is, there are more bands out there, making it harder to find the next Led Zeppelin and also harder for the next Zep to compete.
A cool new band out there is "The Secret Machines".
But yet you've probably never heard of them.
Too many other bands pushing through the crowd trying to get noticed.
It wasn't this way back in 1960~1979.
Now anyone with a home studio can make a record and get on the radio with the right connections.
I mixed a song for my sister's boyfiend's band in my studio for a contest.
It was played on the radio three times and won the competition!
30 years ago? Never!

[Badmoon]

Does anyone really want a new Led Zeppelin though. Come on! You know I'm not a fan, but don't you want something new and outrageous that will bring back the old days?

Soundgarden...The next L.Z., The Black crowes...The Next L.Z.

Now where are they? Barely anywhere.

Give us a new Janis Joplin or something, that'd be better.

[magicbus]

i would say the doors dont sound much like anybody. they are one of a kind.

That's why I love em :thumb:

Just listening to their songs makes me want to learn keyboard. And they're all so visual. Love it.

[Badmoon]

Tommorow I'm going to buy something from Derek Trucks, anyone have any recomendations?

[rocked not rolled]

I wish that people would stopcomparing everyone to Led Zeppelin! Good god there are like 2000 classic rock bands that were all good. Why keep comparing every band to them? :angry:

Err, I haven't heard any derek trucks solo stuff. I tend to just stick the the allmans. Exept for greg allman's solo stuff.

[CommissioningInC]

I love classic rock...it's practically all I listen too...I have always been a classic rock fan...I think mainly because when I was a little girl, I would listen to what my dad was listening to...

I like stuff like...

The Who
The Guess Who
The Doors
Deep Purple
The Eagles
Cream
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Bob Dylan
WAR
The Rollingstones

and much more

You have freakin good taste, man... :thumb: You classic rock fans should try listening to the band CAKE. No, they don't have that classic rock feel, but they have a sound like no other band I've ever heard, and in my book, that's respectable. Them and RHCP are the only current bands out there that I deem worty of my listening.

[RNR]

RHCP were only good in the 80s and early 90s imo. So you can;t really call them classic rock but you can't call their good stuff current. I don't really care, they rule.

[CommissioningInC]

RHCP were only good in the 80s and early 90s imo. So you can;t really call them classic rock but you can't call their good stuff current. I don't really care, they rule.

I dunno, I guess it depends on your taste. I like all of their stuff, from their start to right now. Can't Stop is one of my favorite songs.

[RockAndRoll]

Does anyone really want a new Led Zeppelin though. Come on! You know I'm not a fan, but don't you want something new and outrageous that will bring back the old days?

Soundgarden...The next L.Z., The Black crowes...The Next L.Z.

Now where are they? Barely anywhere.

Give us a new Janis Joplin or something, that'd be better.
Actually I'd rather new days! :thumb:

Just like people like people such as clapton loved the blues and emulated it, but they still did something new with it, made it their own, that's what I want to do (just with slightly different music). That is afterall what created the whole scene.

[magicbus]

Tommorow I'm going to buy something from Derek Trucks, anyone have any recomendations?

My dad would know but off the top of my head I couldn't tell ya. Sorry.

EDIT: Looked throught the cd collection and I found one called Joyful Noise, but don't know how it is. Also I found a Jeff Healy Band cd.

[Death Labeler]

My dad and friends got me back into classic rock. I only have 3 bands I like to listen to and thats.

Creedance Clearwater Revival
Steve Miller Band
Journey

Yep..

[Badmoon]

My dad would know but off the top of my head I couldn't tell ya. Sorry.

EDIT: Looked throught the cd collection and I found one called Joyful Noise, but don't know how it is. Also I found a Jeff Healy Band cd.

That's the album I plan on buying. ;)

[Badmoon]

Isn't everyone sick of people asking for a Classic Rock revival?


The only good revival band to ever catch fame was The Stray Cats. So, I doubt bands like Jet :rolleyes: are going to live up to that, and "Bring" C.R. to the mainstream.

Speaking of The Stray Cats, who likes them?

[Badmoon]

They're all great. But, start it from the begining. Get s/t.

[themightyquinn]

^^^Waiting for the Sun. It's the most underrated Doors album. I like it as much as their debut. Listen to Not To Touch The Earth and you will agree. But since you are new to them, I suggest their debut.

[themightyquinn]

^^Six, not including the live albums. After you get those two, them get LA Woman. Its their second most popular album. Its also got Riders on the Storm, which is THE greatest song ever.

[B0nz0]

I'd get LA woman... that's my favorite doors album...

[RNR]

all i've got is the best of, 2 disk set. I feel like i'm missing out on so much but what to do? There are other albums I need first.

[themightyquinn]

Waiting for the Sun probably doesn't have many songs on the greatest hits except for Hello, I Love You. Its a great album, but it isn't too radio friendly.

[B0nz0]

Waiting for the Sun probably doesn't have many songs on the greatest hits except for Hello, I Love You. Its a great album, but it isn't too radio friendly.
actually the best of album he has is quite extensive. i have it myself and it gives quite a good sampling of the doors, including stuff off of Waiting for the Sun.

[RNR]

Best of 2 disk set.

Disk one

1. Break on through
2. Light my fire
3. The crystal ship.
4. People are strange
5. Strange days
6. Love me two times
7. Alabama song
8. Five to one
9. Waiting for the sun
10. Spanish caravan
11. When the music's over

Disk two

1. Hello, I love you
2. Roadhiuse blues
3. L.a. women
4. Riders on the storm
5. Touch me
6. Love her madley
7. The unknown soldier
8. The end.

That's a pretty good best of.

*feels stupid for typing it out from looking at the cd when he could of copied and pasted from some other site :(*

[B0nz0]

That's a pretty good best of.

*feels stupid for typing it out from looking at the cd when he could of copied and pasted from some other site :(*

indeed it's only missing a few of my favorites...

like Texas Radio, 20th Century Fox, and Peace Frog

[B0nz0]

that's how i started and now they're one of my top 5 favorite bands.

[magical mystery man]

i'd go with legacy: the absolute best of the doors...its a 2 disc set
i have just about every doors album and that covers a pretty good amount of their best music

rip jim

[B0nz0]

speaking of jim, he was a real A**hole wasn't he...

[magical mystery man]

speaking of jim, he was a real A**hole wasn't he...

prolly was but still a great singer and frontman

[RNR]

and he was :naughty: i'd hit it.

[B0nz0]

a musical genius, but he was a crazy a**hole

[RNR]

I bet he got a lot of pussy though. We all know lead singers of classic rock bands got a ton of pussy :thumb:

[RockAndRoll]

I've tried to find out what I can of Jim's personality but it seems undoable at this point.

[Grinder]

Classic rock is definetly making a comeback sue to a revival of 70's style, I am 16 and all I listen to is classic rock. I started with Led Zeppelin, and then moved into later stuff like Ac/Dc, Iron Maiden, and Metallica. I grew Tired of Metallica and turned to metal's roots and started listening to bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. I recently attended Ozzfest last week (for Judas Priest and Black Sabbath), and noticed that the secondary stage, (slipknot and newer bands) contained the majority of the young people at the event, but the main stage had all the 50 year-olds that went to Priest and sabbath concerts thirty years ago.

People need to spread the word about how great classic rock is, and how much rap sucks.

[ö¿öBrightAsABlondeö¿ö]

i consider the beatles rock n roll, not really hard rock...nonetheless, a great band though.


Of Course "TheBeatles" is rock"n"roll, the beatles is classic rock, and will be nothing else than wat it is and wat it has become! i love the beatles :naughty:

Hey! Go with my lil rhym RAP !§ CR@*!!!!! classic rock all the way!i!i!i

Hey I listen to Classic Rock all the time, its all i listen too, rock this rock that, rock everything, hey i wanna go to this deep purple concert september 14, i wanted to go to this Alice Cooper concert thats october 13th but it was sold out!!! oh well ill have to win tickets by listening to 97.3 and win my way in, hehehe :naughty:

[Jack White Is God]

Whenever people talk about classic rock they talk about bands like black sabbath and ACDC, but what about the all the other great bands that weren't so heavy. Bands like "The shadows" and "Creedance clearwater revival". After all, those are the sounds that bands these days are trying to recreate. Just listen to and songs by bands like the white stripes and the black keys and you'll hear the bluesy rock that i'm talking about. While i have great respect for Sabbath and everyone else, i think we should be praising the ones that came up with the whole idea of rock.

peace out.

[RNR]

Oh dear.

[magicbus]

Why rip on Jim? :upset:

[JPageIsGod]

what about the strokes? it seems like ppl dont like them too much on this forum, but i gotta say that they're one of my favorite new bands.

favorite classic rock bands: the doors, big brother and the holding company, james taylor

[RNR]

The strokes are alright. But they aren't anything special.

Anybody seen the dvd of the last perfomance by The band? That was awesome :amaze:

[B0nz0]

The strokes are alright. But they aren't anything special.

ummmmmmmmmmm yea...

actually read the thread tough guy...

[RNR]

:eek: You have officially blown my mind :amaze:

[B0nz0]

:eek: You have officially blown my mind :amaze:

i'm honored, but how so? was it the 400 turkeys at the Band's Fairwell concert? they also had like enough apple cider to fill a swimming pool. o and the Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, and more. I think Neil Young was there too. must of been one hell of a concert. That is one concert i wish i was at...

[RNR]

Yes all of the turkeys :eek:.

Anybody who was anybody was there. If they weren't performing they were at least watching. Clapton was godly.

[mr snrub]

I think that if you don't appreciate and acknoledge classic rock then you are an arse because without it there would be no rock or anything, and given the circumstanses and less amount of equipment they would have, they owned. Favourite band Pink Floyd with Syd, quite simply amazing.

[The Wall]

why doesn't many people like rush??

any ways my list

pink floyd
sabbath
hendrix
the doors
the grateful dead
rush
the beatles
zeppelin

and the list goes on...

[RNR]

i'm sure it does.

[SouthernROCKrules!]

well at least some of us have our heads on straight. it's a start. i'm wanna see some band come along and revitalize the classic rock style...

OMG u took the words straight from my mouth, as u may figure from my name, im a huge fan of bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 special, Ted Nugent, and ZZ top

nothing beats the classic rock sound, but im trying to right my own songs that kinda sound like 70's bands

[ö¿öBrightAsABlondeö¿ö]

The Doors
Led Zepplin
Pink Floyd
The Cars
The Who
AC DC
Van Halen
The Beatles
Guns &Roses
Tom Petty
.................All Good, I love Classic Rock(and punk!), my fav. genre of music,theres so many bands and great tunes out there its so hard to decide your favorite, classic rock is my favorite and will always be. :naughty:
70's and 80's rock and roll is what im into , like I said its all good!

[ö¿öBrightAsABlondeö¿ö]

Yes 70's style is back, so new bands are going into the 70's style of rock and roll sound, its so great pplz are actually listening to rock and roll and not rappy crappy music, rock and roll will never die!

[Badmoon]

70's Rock is overrated.

60's > all

[RNR]

I don't really care when music was made as long as it was good. My favorite time for music was 65-75. Before all of the crap. Blues roots were hard to miss then. A lot of bands in the late 70s to now sound so generic, however the blues can never bore me.

[themightyquinn]

70's Rock is overrated.

60's > all

Agreed.

[B0nz0]

i like a lot of stuff from the 60's, 70's and even some from the 80's. it's all good. This isn't really classic rock, but do u know what was a good song. that song by that band sister hazel in the early/mid 90's "well it's hard to say what it is i see in you wonder if i'll always be with you". i just like that song...

[magicbus]

I like 60's too. Some early 70's, but I'm not much of a fan of the latter zeppelin and floyd, for instance.

[RockAndRoll]

late sixties are where it's at.

[hdurdtrioffparol]

late sixties are where it's at.


yeah i agree with that one. show me the sixties, show me the good music.

[guitrguy]

yeah i agree with that one. show me the sixties, show me the good music.
also seventies rock cant forget about that

[chief_crazybass]

i love classic rock it is what got me on to all rock guns n roses was what turned me on to rock

[ccrraazzyy]

"To those of you who rock...I salute you"

You all rock. You are right. Rock is on the comback. Although at my school it is a small majority. GO THE YARDBIRDS AND ZEPPELIN. THE RAMONES. DEEP PURPLE. THE EAGLES. ERIC CLAPTON. THE WHO, THE DOORS AND ALL THOSE I FORGOT WHO ROCK (the beatles suck dude).

I think it is bnads like ac/dc and the darkness which are very similar to the old rock styles. As well as some of the old bands like the eagles and deep purple and the who are haveing tours(eagles last tour ...cant wait). And franz ferdinand is gonna get very big soon i rekon ...hes really good.

[B0nz0]

If The Beatles and The Who are classic rock, how about The Kinks? I'm really getting into them now, but I never see them mentioned on these forums. :amaze:

I love the Kinks.
a lot.
They are really quite an underrated band...

[B0nz0]

OMG Next week is going to be awesome.

Wednesday - Rush Concert
Friday - Peter Frampton Concert
Saturday - Deep Purple w/ Joe Satriani Concert

let's hear some jealousy right now. I'm so psyched.

[themightyquinn]

^^^You suck. I don't even go to concerts.

[RockAndRoll]

The kinks are classic rock but I can't say I really listen to them.

[RNR]

^^^You suck. I don't even go to concerts.

What an idiot. Live concerts are even better than the albums. The whole experience of it is great. Maybe you just can't afford to buy tickets cause you're too stupid to get a job.

[B0nz0]

yep my concert lineup is amazing. and friday i'm gonna see Festival Express. That documentary about The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and the Band on tour in a train in Canada. It should be very good. at least the soundtrack will be lol.

[Schyma]

Good god where do you live? :eek:



On another note you can't insult the beatles in the classic rock thread. Get out if you're going to be like that. Just another idiot who is closed minded (and types in caps, what an idiot). Because you say the beatles suck, does not mean that lots of other people agree with you. Take your idiot closed-minded attitude to another thread or even forum.

[Ephemeral]

I would definetly have to agree.

[Badmoon]

I might being going to see Bela Fleck.

And maybe Gov't Mule and Chris Robinson :)

[Schyma]

Has anyone seen the "new" Doors?

[RNR]

I might being going to see Bela Fleck.

And maybe Gov't Mule and Chris Robinson :)
Nice :). Never heard of chris robinson (sorry :( ) but gov't mule's great.





The new doors? Explain!

[Bluesman522]

Its all the origanol members except for Jim. They got a young guy who looks like him and sounds a bit like them. All they do are the old songs, the magic is gone.

[RNR]

But who are they going to get to do that much acid may I ask?

[Schyma]

It was a damm good show it was nice to see Robby and Ray play again and Ian Ashbury did a great job it was great show.

[Badmoon]

Nice :). Never heard of chris robinson (sorry :( ) but gov't mule's great.

Chris Robinson is from The Black Crowes. He's solo now.

I didn't think John Densmore was playing with them. I guess I was wrong the.

Are they called the doors or 21st century doors?

[RNR]

Ha, won't be the same though.

[RNR]

no u

[RNR]

shut up rock not roll you big hairy sex machine you ;)

[RockAndRoll]

shut up rockandroll you big hairy sex machine you ;)
If you insist ;).

Anyways enough spamzoring.
Ya I don't think the doors would be the same without Morrison. Although they'd still be great to see live.

[RNR]

I said it wouldn't be the same. Not that it would be bad. I wanna go see them now.

[RockAndRoll]

I said it wouldn't be the same. Not that it would be bad. I wanna go see them now.
I know and I agreed with you. :thumb:

[themightyquinn]

What an idiot. Live concerts are even better than the albums. The whole experience of it is great. Maybe you just can't afford to buy tickets cause you're too stupid to get a job.

Does Trans-Siberian Orchestra count? I saw them twice. And I saw the fake Pink Floyd when it came to Akron. Other than that, nothing.

And you don't need to be so harsh.

[RNR]

Fake pink floyd isn't real pink floyd. Of course the cover band isn't as good as the real thing.

And yes I do need to be harsh.

[B0nz0]

OK I'M HERE TO SETTLE THE DOORS ISSUE.

last summer i saw them live.
and it was amazing. the guy who replaced morrison is nearly, if not as good a singer and does a lot of Morrison's antics as well. And Manzarek and Krieger are of course amazing. It was actually one of my best concerts ever. They played for well over 3 hours, including doing for the first time in history THE ENTIRE LA WOMAN ALBUM. plus they did a ton of their big hits. But the clincher was after the encore was over and the house lights came back on, they came back again. WHICH THE VENUE WAS NOT EXPECTING OR HAPPY ABOUT (hence the house lights being turned on). BUT IT WAS AWESOME.

[guitarock156]

I LIVE for classic rock, thats definitely where its at. it was music, guitars wailing, solos, where there was actually talent. a lot of bands now kind of suck.

[B0nz0]

3 hours!! :amaze:. Why can't other bands do that :upset:
The Allman Bros did 3:45.
Bruce Springsteen did 3:30
Wynton Marsalleis did 3 hours.
hmmmmm i think that's it for 3 hour + concerts that i've been to...

[B0nz0]

Yeah...I think that U2 and Radiohead do quite long ones, but nothing in that league!! Was the standard good the whole way, or did the bands tire?

well each of them the end was the best part. the first half hour of Bruce's set was mediocre, but after that it was amazing. if the first thirty minutes had been as good as the conclusion (the last songs were at least 20 minutes of Meet me at Mary's Place and at least 10 minutes of Rosalita, the first encore was a 10 minute born to run and an 8 minute born in the usa, and the second encore was a long version of 7 nights to rock and 15+ minutes of dancing in the dark) it prob would've been the best concert i've ever been to.

The Allmans put up a great show the whole way thru, never slowing or tiring once. The highlights though were when 80+ year old blues legend Hubert Sumlin got up and jammed with them for about 20 minutes and they jammed with a horn section for a 45 minute version of Southbound. Their encore was 40 minutes of Mountain Jam which was spectacular as well. Probably my favorite concert of all time.

Wynton Marsailles was also great the whole way thru. This was at the St. Louis Jazz festival, so he was supposed to yield the stage to The Aaron Neville Quintet after 2 hours. Fortunately he came back for an hour of encores in which he did excerpts from a new orleans jazz funeral in honor of Ray Charles. That was truly amazing, one of the best live performances i've ever seen...

The Doors played a great show the whole way thru as well. They opened with Roadhouse Blues and then went straight into When the Music's Over. They also played such greats as The Alabama Song, Spanish Caravan (after 6 minutes of flamenco guitar jamming). They did a few obscure songs i didn't know that were also amazing and some other great big hits i can't remember at the moment. The highlight of the first half was a fantastic version of Five to One, which was AMAZING. before hearing that i hadn't even liked the song that much, but after that i fell in love with the song. Then they played the ENTIRE LA Woman album (for the first time ever). Then the left the stage, only to come back 3 minutes later to play Light my Fire. Then they left and the house lights came on. BUT NO1 LEFT! there was cheering literally 5 minutes later. Then they came back out AGAIN and played another 20 minutes with the house lights on!

Truly amazing concerts all of them...

:eek:!. You have officially blown my mind. :amaze:

[griftadan]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

you named all my favorite bands, the only new bands i like are the white stripes, cake, and the black keys. chili peppers are good, but there not really new.

yes all my friends love classic rock, its pretty big where i live in dallas. but yes, there are still those rap and punk mogerers in my town...

[magicbus]

Something horrible happened! I went to a few used record stores, my favorite kind of stores, during my trip to ohio, and I couldn't decide on an album to buy. I did buy a Cream dvd to further study Clapton's techniques, which is freakin awesome, but I couldn't decide on a cd. Could somebody please point me in the direction of a good one? I was looking for some Jethro Tull and Yes, but I'm not really familiar with all of their albums. Any suggestions?

Can't go wrong with Yes-Fragile. Or Time and a word. (only two that I have :rolleyes: ).

One of my favorite classic rock bands was Foreigner, but you don't hear much mention of them in classic rock conversation. They had some great songs like "Jukebox Hero", "Hot Blodded", and "Dirty White Boy". They also had that great Les Paul through a Marshall Plexi tone, and it is really pronouced on the beginning of "Long Way From Home".

[Badmoon]

I don't care too much for Foreigner.

[RockAndRoll]

Ya they've never interested me too much either.

[bluetop]

i love the who but come on!500 years from now one rock band will definitly be remembered:the beatles. the songwriting alone is lights years from most bands and the impact on music they had even thirty years later is still strongly felt. they also revolutionized production and merchandising while opening the door to more progressive music.I mean I'm a huge fan of hendrix but i really think these guys were the best overall rock band.

The Beatles are easly the most importaint band ever but there is no best band it is just opinions compared to other opinions equaling a endless fight over who is the best. I think the Doors you think Beatles those losers in the metal therds think slipknot. Were all different.

Is Jeff Healey the blind guitarist in the movie "Road House" with Patrick Swaizey as the star? That guy did a jam up version of "Hoochie Koochie Man" in the strip tease scene!

[within you without you]

my favorites are the beatles,led zeppelin, black sabbath, jethro tull, CCR, CSN(sometimes with young), ELP, ELO, yes, the doors, pink floyd, cream, foriegner, kansas, frank zappa, genesis, jefferson airplane(sometimes jefferson starship but they have a lot of the keyboard but then agian so does ELP), jimi hendrix, king crimson, lynard skynyrd, the stones, santana, rush, bufflao springfield(if you like them check out CSN), the who, sometimes the guess who, zz top, if you are a beatle fanitic check out some of ravi shankars stuff(the beatles met him during the seagent peppers time and he also thought george how to play the sitar), peter gabriel, george harrison, jimmy pages solo stuff, sometimes the byrds, john lennon. if you want to listen to a extreme bass player listen to victor wooten(the best i have heard), he has played with all the big names like neil young. i am only 14 and i never knew there was other people that listened to classical rock(all the people at my school listen to rap orpunk crap, then agian i live in berea right next to cleveland the mistake on the lake) Check out atomic rooster, there not very well known but are very good, there from englandm only one hit and it hit no. 4 on the charts which was devils answer. cant think anymore, I will post more bands later

[mariomaniac13]

what about Aerosmith? obviously one of the best bands of all time.

[Bebop013]

i haven't seen any one put foghat yet. i like all classic rock(not going to list my favorites because the list would be to long), and it does seem to be coming back,(which i think is due to a lot of movies advertising it) personally a hope it does'nt get very popular, i hate it when every 1 else likes what i like, RAP SUCKS.

[PinkFloyd]

what about Aerosmith? obviously one of the best bands of all time.

Not even close. Just because they have been around for 30 years does not merit them that title.

[The Esoteric]

Did anyone around the Chicago area (Badmoon?) see CCR Wednesday night at Ravinia? I went there and I thought they played a good show, though I wished they would have played Someday Never Comes.

Hello, I love you
i have never talked to somebody who has felt the same way as me. the beatles came in and saved rock and roll. they are the most important band of all time and still will be the most important with out them we would of never heard of bands like yes, the doors, jefferson airplane, etc. It is a fact that they have saved rock. thank you bluetop

my parents were around from the 60's so my music is based around the greats..
plus having to listen to my dad and brothers playin guitar while i was trying to sleep as a baby probably contributed :lol:

It was absolutely amazing. Of course the theme song was "Casey Jones". And they showed a SPECTACULAR Janis Joplin performance. OMG it was so good it gave me chills. The Band, Buddy Guy, and The Grateful Dead were great too. but Janis was GODLIKE! plus u got to watch them hang out drunk and stoned on a train and jam. it was awesome...

In my opinion, Led Zeppelin was and still is the best band in the entire history of music. With Page's hard rocking, influental guitar skills, Plant's incredible lyrics and awesome singing/harmonica (haha) skills, Bonham's incredible drum skills (i think he was the best drummer ever), and Jones' incredible bassing/keyboarding/Mandolining (are any of those words?), they all composed the best music i have ever heard. I have been playing guitar for 2 years, and at first i wished i could sing. But now i realize i want to be a legendary guitarist (what 14 year old guitarist has a different dream). At first i wished i could sing but now i would rather be great at guitar than being ok at guitar and good at singing. But thats just my opinion. Classic Rock is the best. Clapton is also very influental to me. I could go on and on but i think im boring people.

Who do you think is then? Because I understand that each has their opinion, I also think they are the most importan band in history.

[rocked not rolleded]

Janis Joplin rules. That's all I gotta say.

Subtle indeed

Does anybody like Boston? They are the only good band named after a piece of geography IMO.

You're from Cleveland, therefore you are overexposed to Boston if you listen to 98.5.

lol ya nothing better then discussing our influences

I don't beleive there is one.

[zachenke]

haha...well thats the first step to being a rock star. Do important things while stumbling around in a drunken stupor. Now just shoot up some heroin/drink and pass out. Hopefully if you accomplish the latter you can choke on your own vomit in your sleep. I wish i were a rock star.

Ok you can leave at that instead of arguing with our opinions.

[Badmoon]

Okay, I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're both fighting about, but if it is about that The Beatles were the first genre mixing mainstream band. Then no.

Because what about Elvis? He mixed Gospel, Country, Blues, Rock, ect...



That is if you're both discussing that.

hahahahaha sooo true

[B0nz0]

Awesome I'll try and see that sometime then. :thumb:

you should it was soo good.

seriously Janis' rendition of "Cry Baby Cry" was the BEST BLUES SONG I'VE EVER HEARD. and i've seen bb king live. The audience actually applauded in a movie theatre. it felt like you were there. i mean she just blew everyone away.

we were discussing the beatles but good point

Thanks guitar guy. Man do i talk really witty for a 14 year old or what. "A drunken stupor"....where the f*ck did that come from?!

u can go back earlier than elvis...

[RockAndRoll]

your missing the point (more than likely on purpose) you are right no doubt about that but your bringing up examples that came after the beatles
I'm bringing up examples that came after the beatles because guess which genre I know best - classic rock. If I knew as much about jazz though than i'd give you examples of jazz artist's who've done it.They weren't the first to do a bunch of different stuff or new stuff. Music didn't change trillions of time by everyone sitting back and playing the same sacred (yes music in the begining was sacred) tunes over and over. It has been done before and will be done again.

Everything Janis does is THE BEST EVER!!!!

what?

It's too subjective for their to be a truth the beatles are not important to you if you only like mozart.

[Against Miik!]

You're from Cleveland, therefore you are overexposed to Boston if you listen to 98.5.

No way I bought the self titled album. It's one of the greatest albums ever if you ask me.

i did ask you to drop it and now your argument is arguing anything anymore your talking about the future "it has been done before and it will be done again"

[themightyquinn]

I don't even like Janis that much. Too bluesy for me.

[rocked not rolleded]

No such thing.

man i love the blues eventhough im not into janis

[Badmoon]

Of Course you can, (I shouldn't have said first) but usually genres mixed weren't that odd.

Like Country + Blues = What the ****!!!!!!

Especially back then.


Or even...

Gospel + Rock

Or...

Anything + Rock

none of that was really done before that, which is actually really irelevant to the discussion.

Some people make conclusions before even trying out the music itself. For example....i know alot of people who assume any band based on a geographical place....i.e. Kansas, Boston, etc. But they produce some of the best music i've ever heard. By the way, MIIK, i love lindsay lohan. But thats besides the point....

[rocked not rolleded]

The beatles were good. End of discussion.

Healey rocks \m/

You watch yourself son!!

There's a few names in this thread that are not aloud to be associated with negativity.

Some being Garcia, Joplin, Morrison, Beatles...

[magicbus]

Wow I missed a lot today.

I like Boston and Kansas.
Looks like rnr got banned again.
Glad to see some new guys in here :thumb:

On a sadder note, my "Wish You Were Here" disc is scratched to infinity. Guess I gotta buy a new one. :angry:
