Classic Rock

[themightyquinn23]

What makes Sgt. Peppers so much better? Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I don't see why it is considered the Beatles best album.

[Badmoon]

It's good music, people like "good" music. Where not basing the places on anyother subject. It's just fabulous album, no low points at all.

I also believe Van Morrison - Astral Weeks should be in the top ten.

[themightyquinn23]

Abbey Road and Revolver don't have low points either and both are good music. Why aren't they #1?

[IAJP]

Because not many people have voted for them...
it seems like you like the beatles...
guess what,
I'm from the same place as those
*publicises
:cool:

[themightyquinn23]

The Beatles are my favorite band and the first band I really got into. The Doors were what introduced me to classic rock though.

[-=The_Dude=-]

Jimi Hendrix introduced me to classic rock

[Badmoon]

Abbey Road and Revolver don't have low points either and both are good music. Why aren't they #1?

Why must you attempt to make everything more difficult, when there is no reason to? People voted for it!! That's why it is number one. There nothing more to it.

[IAJP]

Same here man,
A lot of people mistake me for John Densmore...
which is pretty darn cool I think you'll agree....
:thumb:

[Schyma]

John Densmore is a f*ucken as$hole!!!

[IAJP]

No he isn't
you know absolutely nothing about anything young man
:angry:
seriously though, I'm growning burns like Densmores...they rule

[Schyma]

No I dont think you know what your talking about.....

[Badmoon]

He supposebly was slightly mean, but who cares.

[themightyquinn23]

Why must you attempt to make everything more difficult, when there is no reason to? People voted for it!! That's why it is number one. There nothing more to it.
So I'm not allowed to share my thoughts anymore?

[IAJP]

ok then....
why is he a "f*ucken as$hole!!!"
??
why do you think that?

[IAJP]

He supposebly was slightly mean, but who cares.
Yeah, but he still has the best burns in the business, followed closely by John Entwhistle....
Was he mean, because he didn't reunite with the 20th Century Doors I heard somewhere...
but who cares, he might want to live the rest of his life in peace, which he deserves credit for, besides, he is still one of my favourite rock drummers of all time
:thumb:

[themightyquinn23]

Jazz drumming is just great. In fact, all jazz is great.

But I'm getting off topic *gives evil stare at certain member*

[Schyma]

ok then....
why is he a "f*ucken as$hole!!!"
??
why do you think that?

John Densmore filed a lawsuit against fellow Doors founders Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek Tuesday (February 4) claiming they are infringing on the band's trademark by using the name for their new supergroup.

The suit, which names Krieger,

Manzarek and their bandmates Ian Astbury of the Cult and Stewart Copeland of the Police, also charges breach of contract and unfair competition.

"It's misleading to the fans," Densmore said in a statement. "My partners are free to play under any other name and any other logo, as the members of many bands from the same era are doing. I am seeking only to end the confusion caused by the deceptive ad campaign they are using on this tour in order to preserve the legacy of the Doors, and to set the record straight."

A spokesperson for Krieger and Manzarek said the musicians had no knowledge of Densmore's allegations until Tuesday, and had no comment on the lawsuit.

Densmore's suit, which seeks an injunction and damages, notes that advertisements for Krieger and Manzarek's band have used the original Doors logo, and that Jay Leno introduced the group on "The Tonight Show" as the Doors. It also describes numerous telephone calls the drummer received from family and friends assuming he had reunited with his former guitarist and keyboardist.

According to Densmore, under legal agreement, all business decisions pertaining to the Doors, such as reissues and reunion events, must be made unanimously with the living members of the band and the estate of late frontman Jim Morrison, who died in 1971.

"There has been a drummer playing with that band who is not [Densmore] [that] has minimized and diminished the reputation and stature of [Densmore] by causing people to believe that he was not, and is not, an integral and respected part of the Doors band, or [that he is] one member who easily can be replaced by another," the lawsuit also notes.

Krieger and Manzarek invited Densmore to join a reunited version of the band with Astbury last fall, but he declined due to a brief illness.

Densmore, who is performing at a fundraiser in Santa Monica on Saturday, will, according to his spokesperson, release the debut album from his new group, Tribal Jazz, this summer.

[IAJP]

Hey Badmoon,
can we have a top classic rock drummers?:p
:lol:

[RNR]

:amaze: I don't think sgt peppers is better than are you experienced, tommy, zeppelin 4, electric ladyland...

It's just the best beatles album.


A list of classic rock drummers would be good. :)

[Jarod]

who all died besides the drummer in led zep and how?

[RNR]

In led zeppelin? Bonzo is the only one of them to die...so far *strokes pistol* Robert Plant will be next. :evil:

[RockAndRoll]

:eek: holy moly this thread grew alot in a weak, this is going to take a long time to read through.

[Lithium2112]

what are you mental or something?

[RNR]

The big classic rock 3. John Bonham, Neil Peart and Keith Moon.

[thelizardkingcc]

man that sucks about john densmore not playing with the doors, i hate to see a band fall apart like that, especially after all theyd been through together in the first place.

[acadacaAngus]

ok i would say that AC/DC are classic rock they are my fave band i have noticed somewhat a revival or the olden days which is all good to me i wouldnt mind hearing some golden oldie rock on mainstream radio as for the darknessi think the actual style of guitar playing is quite classic and how could we forget chuck berry the man is a rock n roll legend go johnny go

[RockAndRoll]

Canada's music doesn't even compare to one of our states' music.



Three bands? Yea, you guys rule... :rolleyes: :p

Oh you better not be talking to me! :evil:

ok i would say that AC/DC are classic rock

I wouldn't......

[RNR]

I would. Hard rock is a part of classic rock. Ac/dc is classic.

:amaze:

Whats wrong with kids these days? I can't find another guitar player to throw down some Allman Brothers guitar harmonies with me.

I love the last paragraph. Great way to raise publicity for his band. Smart move.

Stuart Copeland is a 100X better drummer then Densmore anyways, so it works out better that way.

[RNR]

Whats wrong with kids these days? I can't find another guitar player to throw down some Allman Brothers guitar harmonies with me.

Why play the allmans? that would take talent! I'll just learn some powerchords and join a crap nu-metal or pop punk band.

-kids these days

Luckily I have some friends who aren't faggots :thumb:. Good luck finding someone miik.

[Against Miik!]

Luckily, my uncle loves the Allmans and has been playing for like 30 years. But I feel so bad playing with him, because he is so dominate.

My uncle>me>nu metal fags

[RNR]

well said.

[thelizardkingcc]

yeah its impossible for me to find musicians in MD to jam with who like classic rock and not hard rock.

[Paranoidd]

Uncles are great.

Me and 4 of my uncles are going to see Rush next Sunday :D

[RNR]

Hard rock can be classic rock. Deep Purple (some), ac/dc, Kiss, Black Sabbath, zeppelin (some). But very few kids like blues. I have a guitarist friend who likes blues though. We were i na band but our drummer moved cities. Now we have no fricking drums.

Don't change the subject. Those are all great canadian bands.

[RNR]

Maybe if I was in a nu metal band (not really but ya know). I need somebody who can keep a good rythem (not bass, snare, bass, snare) who can do rolls and fills and such.

[Paranoidd]

I can do that.

And I'm Canadian.

Hah I put Bill Kreutzmann but forgot Mickey Hart. I meant to have them both on there.

[RNR]

^you meant to press the correct keys in order to put them on but you messed it up right? :rolleyes:. Or possibly they just slipped your mind?

[lunch998]

Well when I thought of Bill Kreutzmann I thought of Mickey Hart but then I blew it.
Why don't we just agree that they should both be on there.

[RNR]

sure :)

[lunch998]

Oh I guess Ringo should be on there. He slipped my mind.

It's hard to have a classic rock list of anything without The Beatles or one of them on it.

[RockAndRoll]

SUREEEEEEEE I WOULDN'TTT
Road Apple Red?
Whistle King?
that's what I thought! :p

Oh top four albums or whatever it was
Led Zeppelin (I)
The Who - Tommy
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon (not my favourite but great album and very "important")
Cream - Wheels of Fire

I'd put it there but know it'd never make it:
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson king
Supertramp - crime of the century

[RockAndRoll]

I think I named all of the other canadian bands, lol.
:lol: no, not even close.

[RNR]

I was kidding. Sheeshers

[Schyma]

But very few kids like blues.

Agreed they cant name evan name blues greats such as Robert Johnson, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, not even Stevie Ray Vaughn.
sad sad sad...... :upset:

[RNR]

...or even have appreciation (sp?) for it. They don't notice that blues playing takes 10 times more skill to play than their crap music.

No I mean Kim Mitchell. He plays music :)

Rock and roll mentioned BTO in his post that i quoted, i was adding to his.

Calagary has Q107.3. Good radio station but their theme is kinda lame. Also they play too much kiss and ac/dc. Steve Van Zant (sp?) has a danm good show on it.

[RNR]

I was actually referring to CSNY

i haven't heard that one :) I think i'll check it out if I can manage to download it ;)

[Lithium2112]

nah man kim mitchel is a radio announcer on this station in the afternoon... he's pretty awesome, the chick he announces with i hate though

[GundamX]

I only listen to classic rock, new music is horrible. If i had a time machine i would go back to 1969 and live in the 70's :] Led Zeppelin is my number one fav, second fav being Black Sabbath

[RNR]

He's also a canadian musician who kicks a load of *** :)

[Lithium2112]

no **** sherlock

[RNR]

yep, wait does he have his own radio show? that would be bitchin

[Lithium2112]

yea, its nice he's been playing stuff other than ac/dc and 3 led zeppelin songs

[Lithium2112]

I only listen to classic rock, new music is horrible. If i had a time machine i would go back to 1969 and live in the 70's :] Led Zeppelin is my number one fav, second fav being Black Sabbath

[RockAndRoll]

your missing out
I live in London , so i don't really have a choice.

[RockAndRoll]

:eek: jethro tull may be coming to london (I think they are but I'm not sure).

[Against Miik!]

Good news, for me. I'm going to see the Allman Brothers, 38 Special and Skynryd, and Yes and Dream Theater this summer.

[RNR]

So is this like a skynard cover band or something? How many of the originals aren't dead?

[Against Miik!]

Hey i'm making a classic rock mix. I got some songs goin, but what should I put on there?

[RNR]

Anyone else think that this being a "classic rock" thread really limits us? I mean we can't really talk about stuff from the 90s, or country or motown. Just sort of 60s and 70s rock.

Bummer.

[Against Miik!]

Bummer.

I don't really care. Whats better than 60s and 70s rock?

[RNR]

Nothing really, just there's a lot of recent rock and roll that's good. Maybe we can start the recent classic rock thread or something.

[Against Miik!]

I've always thought of bands like AC/DC and GNR as classic rock, if thats what you mean.

[RNR]

Yeah.

:)

Get Blue oyster cult- don't fear the reaper for your list. Now that's a dang fine song :)

[RockAndRoll]

Nothing really, just there's a lot of recent rock and roll that's good. Maybe we can start the recent classic rock thread or something.
We could talk about it some here, they're not going to come in and shut us down for it.

[magicbus]

Hey i'm making a classic rock mix. I got some songs goin, but what should I put on there?

Layla. Always.

Anyways, I might see Skynyrd and .38 Speciall too (I'd like to at least), but how long has Yes been touring? And do you know if they're coming to Detroit?

[RockAndRoll]

Box of rain should go on there, or friend of the devil.

[RockAndRoll]

Yeah...this thread is even in the rules as a good thread, so I doubt anyone minds really what happens in here. And I've always thought of classic rock as a style rather than something that happened in the 60s and 70s as well.
ya me too, just most of it happened in the 60's and 70's so ya.

[RNR]

Yep. It's just some people don't think the 80s is classic rock. And I like the 80s.

[RockAndRoll]

Yep. It's just some people don't think the 80s is classic rock. And I like the 80s.
Nobody likes the 80s. :p just kidding. I think some is and some isn't.

[the mighty zep]

Great bands of the 80's as follows....

Rush
AC/DC
Kiss
Guns N Roses
Chili Peppers (though they werent very big)

and thats if they even started in the 80s

70s greats would take up two and a half pages.

[RockAndRoll]

Of that list I'd say only the first 3 I would consider classic rock though.

[ryman457]

i say my favorite classic rock song is cherry pie by warrant. its an awsome man, especially the video

[LuckyIrish]

Hey i'm making a classic rock mix. I got some songs goin, but what should I put on there?

Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. You can feel the groove from that song right in your soul.
Pinball Wizard by the Who. Because that deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball ;)

[the mighty zep]

I made a classic rock mix a while ago, came out pretty good. If you want the list, i can get it for you

[Paranoidd]

Great bands of the 80's as follows....

Rush
AC/DC
Kiss
Guns N Roses
Chili Peppers (though they werent very big)

and thats if they even started in the 80s

70s greats would take up two and a half pages.

You forgot The Cult...I don't care what anyone says, I like William Duffy on guitar.

[magicbus]

Is Ozzy Osbourne classic rock? Because Black Sabbath was, but he sounded different in the eighties.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah I'd call the Rhoads stuff classic rock.

They play it on my classic rock station in Toronto...*shrug*

[magicbus]

Ok.

[RNR]

Yeah I'd call the Rhoads stuff classic rock.

They play it on my classic rock station in Toronto...*shrug*

They station is in general pretty lame. :amaze: still the best thing in radio today.

[Paranoidd]

Canadian content rules make it lame.

How many times a day do I have to hear The Kings??!

"switchin to glide....."

Makes me want to off myself.

[shortass]

CLASSIC ROCK RULES!!!
It is definetly gettin a comeback

Im really into oldies like
AC/DC
Beatles
The Who
Deep Purple

[Paranoidd]

The one with one red disc and one clear disc?

[RNR]

My Doors best of album arrived today...brilliant. An absolutely class album.

I have that. It's awesome. Such good choices for the songs put on there :D

[Paranoidd]

I have most of their albums on vinyl. :D

[RNR]

I have a 2 disk set thingy :amaze: sheesh, the doors sure have a lot of best of albums.

[Paranoidd]

**** straight, they put one out every few years. Pure cash grab.

[RNR]

^indeed. Now who's that guy who said that the doors didn't need anymore money in the doors x games thread? I want him to see this :angry:

[RNR]

I understand it and all. I mean, acid is more expensive these days...

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Is that ablum its called Doors: Legacy? thats what i have...

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I understand it and all. I mean, acid is more expensive these days...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: if you don't get it you deserve to die.

[Paranoidd]

You'd think members of the Doors wouldn't want acid, after how Jim turned out.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Jim Morrison is alive man! He's living in my basement off of rats! - Some hobo that was in the park the other day. I was talking to him about classic rock. Then i asked him if he even had a basement. That was one angry hobo.

[RNR]

They probably don't do acid. Still... the great are a bunch of money hungry ****s.

I like their music though :)

[PinkFloyd]

wie

[Against Miik!]

I read an article with Kreiger and he said they havn't done acid since the early 70s.

[Paranoidd]

Probably not.

I dunno how they have the balls to tour...Ian Astbury? I mean come on...I like The Cult but he aint Jim Morrison. He isn't even an alcoholic anymore!

[Schyma]

I read an article with Kreiger and he said they havn't done acid since the early 70s.

Yea the Doors are clean....

[magicbus]

I have a 2 disk set thingy :amaze: sheesh, the doors sure have a lot of best of albums.

That's the one I have, Legacy. Its got a red disc and a black disc. I love it. Really good choice of songs.

[Schyma]

Get all the albums they are all great

[magicbus]

Speaking of Ozzy also the solos on Mr. Crowley are pretty impressive. I don't listen to much other though.

[Schyma]

Blizzard of Oz and Dariy of Madman are great Ozzy albums.

[Schyma]

Geroge Harrison All things must pass


Anyone????

[RNR]

what about it?

[lunch998]

Anybody like the Yardbirds? I got one of their collections for pretty cheap and it's pretty good. Plus Clapton is awesome so that helps.(I like the early Yardbirds the best)

[RNR]

The yardbirds are great. Amazing guitar work, great songs. I'm thinking of getting into them really seriously.

[lunch998]

Yea lucky for me the "Best Of" that I have is 2 discs with 18 songs apeice, so I don't have to keep buying all their CDs I can find.

[Lithium2112]

how much did that cost you lunch998

[Lithium2112]

Blizzard of Oz and Dariy of Madman are great Ozzy albums.

i've got bark at the moon and im not too happy with it

[Lithium2112]

i like to pick daisys in the morning

[miltonj621]

Emerson, Lake and Palmer aren't cheesy man! They are just plain talented. Prog rock is probably the best chapter in Classic Rock. It introduced elements of jazz and classical music into the vain of rock and blues and created some of the best music ever. I suggest that people who say they like classic rock listen to Yes' "Fragile," "Close to the Edge" ELP's "Pictures at an Exbidition" and "Taurus" and the Crimson classic "21st century schozoid man." There is just nothing like it.

[lunch998]

how much did that cost you lunch998

I found it on Amazon.com for like 15$US or so. You have to pay shipping, but I waited until my parents ordered something so they paid shipping. It might be in a CD store around you. My local stores that have a huge selection are very overpriced, so I try to order CDs offline.

yea man good point... i hate people that say they like pink floyd/classic rock and dont even know what the **** prog rock is

i havn't really gotten into crimson, i only know about 5 of their songs, ill check my local lp store for that album though :)

[miltonj621]

cool try their stuff from the late 60's and early 70's. Fripp's guitar work is amazing as well as Lake's bass playing. Its like listening to Chicago on acid, which is by the way another great classic rock band that has been left out of the conversation

[magicbus]

I got that double disc thing for $22.

[PoWeRsLaVe667]

My Uncle introduced me too classic rock and classic metal like...

The Doors
Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin
Def Leppard
AC/DC
Peter Frampton
Rush
Quiet Riot


...and there all awesome

[bobthenamelesswonder]

I love classic rock. If u listen to modern rock, it's just not the same. My mum introducud me to Queen & the Eagles, but now i'm listening 2 Van Halen a lot. By the way, does any1 else think it's weird that Eddie & co. hated Diver Down 'cos of all the covers on it, but the only 2 tracks from it on the Best of Both Worlds album are covers?

I don't find it weird. They hate a lot of stuff. Eddie Van halen is a douche.

ELP has a wicked drummer.

Post them!

I want to see the current lineup.

[Against Miik!]

Well it hasn't happend yet. I'm going in about a week, and I just bought a digital camera. My seats are in the front 1/3 and in the middle, so I should get some good shots. I was just asking for later.

[Badmoon]

Okay then.

I have school tommorow. :(

[Against Miik!]

First day? That sucks, I don't start for another 2 weeks or so.

[RNR]

Okay then.

I have school tommorow. :(

That sucks. I have school on the 7th of september.

[Paranoidd]

I feel bad for all you school people.

[RNR]

don't feel bad for me.

1. That's where my dealer sells me stuff.
2. Chicks.
3. Constant entertainment.
4. Since i'm going to highschool there's a good chance of me finding a drummer for my band.

[ledpoisoning27]

i think jet is a pretty good band that plays music in the classical rock genre

[RNR]

^I don't. They have such a band generic sounds. Uverdone riffs and 3 second solos. However they are one of the best mainstream bands out at the moment in my opinon.

2. OK, no chicks @ work, you win there.
3. I get to play any music I want for my entire workday. And I can get high on lunch.
4. I created my own drumkit using empty binderclip containers, paperclips, a stapler, and a couple other things. I 0wn percussion @ work.

Work > School.

[Woodstock]

Hello Thread, before you flame me for my first post :upset: , I just want to let you know that I have read allllllll 138 pages of this forum. And I must say I agree with classic rock being the best genre out there. The only problem is that all my friends only like the basic bands. I'm getting in much deeper to CSN&Y, Grateful Dead, Derek and the Dominoes and other under appreciated bands :angry: .Anyways,.....what Allman Brothers Band album would you reccomend.

<------Can't believe this username was open!!

[RNR]

Eat a peach is the best allman brothers album. Also notebale ablums- Seven turns, brothers and sisters, hittin the note.

Or you could get their self titled. always a good way to start

[iwant_taquitos]

classic rock is probably my favourite kind of music. bands like the beatles, led zeppelin, pink floyd and countless other bands from the 60s/70s built the foundation for rock music today.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I only read 18 pages of this thread but I love it! I'm pretty new to this site so I couldnt get into it sooner: :( I've only gotten into classic rock since summer started but I've fallen hard for it. My favorites would have to be the Beatles, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Bad Company, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Bob Seger, Robert Palmer, CCR, Aerosmith and I know I'm forgetting some..oh well. I'm looking for Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, YES, Rush, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, and Yardbirds..anyone have any suggestions?

has anyone else noticed classic rock songs more frequently appearing on commercials??

[keep on phishin']

:amaze: The musical groups where I live.

50% Black, brown people and asians (plus a few wiggers)- Rap

20% Mainstream rock, pop.

10% "tr00" metalers.

15% Classic rock (80% of these are made up of people who mainly like hard rock, ac/dc, Kiss...).

5% everything else.


I counted the people who barely care about music as mainstream.

Very few people like more than one kind of music.

[Badmoon]

Wait, so 50% of the people in your town are Black? In Canada?!

[Paranoidd]

I live in Canada, close to Toronto, and believe me, its mostly black/brown/asians around here. Canada has the luxury of being very multicultural. It was weird going to Italy and seeing a total of two black people in my entire town. I see more then that when I go to get the mail.

As long as they still have Ian Anderson I'll go :)

Not too big or too small. A nice C cup'll do nicely.

Question,(raises hand)
Can I here some opinions on the Jeff Beck Group :wave:

I like Jeff Beck. His fingerpicking is amazering

[Badmoon]

I could take Jeff Beck.

Truth is a good album.

Pot's a hell of a drug

that it is :smoke:


Jeff beck, eric clapton, Jimmy page, (to a lesser exten) Chris Dreja

Or

Warren hans (sp? :(), Duane Allman, Dicki Betts and Derek trucks.




?????????

[Woodstock]

Ok, this has been buggin' me
Please somebody agree with me.
The Beatles A Day In the Life song: After the "Woke Up got outta bed" part a series of Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah's is sung. These ah's are the same exact pattern as Deep Purple's Hush


creepy :eek:

[Badmoon]

Well, Deep Purple's is "Nah".

[Badmoon]

Allmans > Yarbirds

[RNR]

Allmans > Yarbirds

You heard it, kiddies! Let it go down in the record books that The allman's guitarists are better than the yardbirds.



(I agree) Duane>all

[Woodstock]

I know badmoon, but they're the same notes and chord pattern

[Badmoon]

Well, I don't know about overall talent, but...


Clapton = Beck > Page

[RNR]

Well, I don't know about overall talent, but...


Clapton = Beck > Page

Yeah. But...

Duane>clapton=Beck=betts>hans(sp?)>Page>trucks>dreja (even though he just played rythem).

:amaze: That's one long comparitive list.

[Woodstock]

Clapton=Beck

I don't quite agree

[Badmoon]

Haynes*

Duane>clapton=Beck

I don't know about that. And Page maybe better than Haynes, but I don't know.

[RNR]

In my opinon duane had more skill then clapton.

I'm confused. This is such a strain for my rusty mind.

[Woodstock]

If we give it a try I think we could beat the Metallica forum in page #'s :naughty:

[RNR]

Thread*?

I think we could. But we would have to kill that squirle guy. He spams in there so much. He's like me!

Metallica must fade away

hey anyone here listen to big brot and the holdin co.?

No, metallica must not suck like last album ;)

The Big Brother & The Holding Company?


Yes...

[RNR]

hey anyone here listen to big brot and the holdin co.?

Never heard fo them :amaze:, albums/song suggestions please.

[ZeppelinMan30]

hey im looking for a key or chords for ball and chain . any help?

[ZeppelinMan30]

check out cheap thrills with combination of the two, ball and chain, i need a man to love and of coarse piece of my heart

[Badmoon]

Never heard fo them :amaze:, albums/song suggestions please.

C'mon, I've talked about them here. Janis Joplin was one of their singers.

[ZeppelinMan30]

so...noboby knows I can't find that song anywhere and bitch trying figure it out. great ****ing song if anyone here hasn't heard it i strongly advise them to check it out
it.

[Badmoon]

What are you talking about?

[ZeppelinMan30]

as for the allman vs. yardbirds poll Dickey and duane were far more capable than the birds -page. Jimmy Page is simply a god and I can't even bear trying to compare him to ANYONE

[themightyquinn23]

Don't be foolish now. You know that Jimi is better.

[ZeppelinMan30]

What are you talking about?

I was talking about the song Ball and Chain. I didn't notice those errors

[ZeppelinMan30]

Don't be foolish now. You know that Jimi is better.


Not for me man, not at all....actully its pretty close but no ones playing affects me as emotionally as Jimmys

[Badmoon]

See, it's hard to consider your opinion because you are a fan. For all we know, you'll pick Page over anyone, and completely overrate his talent.

I think Allman, Clapton, and Beck can take him easily. I'm not necessarily going to say Betts though.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Duane would be the closest, Clapton's close too, but Jeff Beck?

[Badmoon]

Beck is technically the best out of all of them. And his finger picking style, when talking about Rock guitarists can only be compared to Mark Knopfler. He is amazing, and few have his skill.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Yes, Beck could overpower many legends on just technical skills. But he does lack the most important aspect, soul and emotion and his playing. (This excludes truth and a few yardbirds songs.)

[Against Miik!]

I think Dickey could be a lot of other legends on songwriting, tone, and the way he plays more than just skill.

[ZeppelinMan30]

His solos on albums after that (exp. his instumental album of which i have forgotton) sound to me like a very skilled player in guitar center goddammit im contradicting myself.

[Badmoon]

See, that's the thing, he has tons of emotion and soul. Just not as much as (perhaps Gilmour) which he had a lot more of during his Classic Rock era. Uses a lot of blues elements too.

[Badmoon]

I think Dickey could be a lot of other legends on songwriting, tone, and the way he plays more than just skill.

Dickey's the king of Pentatonic scales.

[ZeppelinMan30]

I really don't hear it in most of his albums.

[thickasabrick]

i think gilmour stands for all that should be in solos because he was more about setting the mood and emotions with his solos instead of just randomly playing notes as fast as he could (malmsteem)

[ZeppelinMan30]

You have to agree though, page , clapton, and Duane had a far higher ratio of quality material. except of coarse...lay down sally

[ZeppelinMan30]

i think gilmour stands for all that should be in solos because he was more about setting the mood and emotions with his solos instead of just randomly playing notes as fast as he could (malmsteem)

I'll second that, gilmour could just express the emotion of an entire song, maybe better than anyone.

[Against Miik!]

Whos to say what is emotional and what is not? If I do a lot of bends, play slow, and make a funny face when I play, does that mean I am playing with emotion?

[ZeppelinMan30]

How about a Top 5? Most emotional solos of all time (preferably < 1980)

[Badmoon]

You have to agree though, page , clapton, and Duane had a far higher ratio of quality material. except of coarse...lay down sally

Well, it's not like Duane had a lot of time for recording.

1969 - 1971

[ZeppelinMan30]

Whos to say what is emotional and what is not? If I do a lot of bends, play slow, and make a funny face when I play, does that mean I am playing with emotion?

No, playing with emotion requires you to play directly from your imagination, or your heart. At least for it to be authentic

[ZeppelinMan30]

Well, it's not like Duane had a lot of time for recording.

1969 - 1971

Yeah but give me one bad allman solo.

[Against Miik!]

No, playing with emotion requires you to play directly from your imagination, or your heart. At least for it to be authentic

And how do you know David Gilmour did that? For all we know, he could have been bored as hell.

And I think Duane did more in those few years than a lot of other legends who are still alive have done.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Actually he was bored most of the time with the floyd.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Whos to say what is emotional and what is not? If I do a lot of bends, play slow, and make a funny face when I play, does that mean I am playing with emotion?

Some would describe emotionally simply as a song/solo that evokes emotion.
