Classic Rock

[ZeppelinMan30]

Is anyone still here?

[themightyquinn23]

Yes, but I refuse to take part in this silly argument

[Against Miik!]

It's a forum, not a chatroom.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Yes, but I refuse to take part in this silly argument

Why is that?

[~ZoSo~]

Well screw it, lets get back to topic jeez...Yeah, I love classic rock Clapton, Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Eagles, Kansas, and all of that when I say that to the normal 'guy' mostly wiggers down here in Florida and they ask me how am I suppose to dance the music and is not neccessarily to dance, I mean come on music is supposed to make you feel special in a way is not just for dancing, classic rock is the foundation of all rock and music, The Beatles and Elvis formed rock who ever thinks any other way well, classic rock will always be history.

[Badmoon]

Twas not thee topic.

[Badmoon]

Well, I came to this conclusion. Black Rythm + White Melodies = Rock.

[Against Miik!]

Classic rock is not the foundation of all rock and music.

[themightyquinn23]

Why is that?

"No dude, this guy has so much more emotion in his solos"

"No dude, you're way off, this guy has twenty millon times the emotion"

Who cares how much emotion is in a solo? The only emotion I care about in music is in the singing and lyrics.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Well, I came to this conclusion. Black Rythm + White Melodies = Rock.

That is a very true statement i've thought long, and hard about it

[ZeppelinMan30]

"No dude, this guy has so much more emotion in his solos"

"No dude, you're way off, this guy has twenty millon times the emotion"

Who cares how much emotion is in a solo? The only emotion I care about in music is in the singing and lyrics.

Do you play guitar?

[RNR]

Eric Clapton is the king of emotional playing of course. Also a very good emotional singer. The guy is emotional dangit.

I'm debating whether healey is an emotional player with myself. He certainly has emotonal lyrics but it seems like he doesn't feel it in guitar. He barely has any slow solos.

:( confuzeled is me.

[themightyquinn23]

Yes

EDIT: Addressed to the zeppelin guy

[ZeppelinMan30]

I guess i understand if your a lennon/beatles fan.

[ZeppelinMan30]

I just think that the humun voice merely hampers music. (With of coarse many exceptions)

[themightyquinn23]

I guess i understand if your a lennon/beatles fan.
What the hell is that supposed to mean???

[ZeppelinMan30]

Well, I came to this conclusion. Black Rythm + White Melodies = Rock.

One of the best examples of this is Sublime's 40 oz to Freedom album.

[ZeppelinMan30]

What the hell is that supposed to mean???

I just meant that the beatles (and lennon) convey most emotion and melody in their singing rather than playing, and do it the best.

[themightyquinn23]

You're **** right they do!

[Against Miik!]

I don't like Zeppelinman.

[RNR]

Both of you shut up :angry:. Take it to Msn or something.

[ZeppelinMan30]

I don't like Zeppelinman.

Why not, because I argued with you about emotion? You ignorant fool. **** you That emotion is anger.

[ZeppelinMan30]

I think everyone needs to relax. not bicker. its childish

[ZeppelinMan30]

Anyway.....

[Against Miik!]

Meh, screw this. I'm out of the classic rock thread for good.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Hey badmoon, have you heard of a band called cactus? There drummer was the great Carmine Appice. Great band.

[RNR]

Meh, screw this. I'm out of the classic rock thread for good.

I've heard of leaving a forum but never a thread :amaze:

[themightyquinn23]

Meh, screw this. I'm out of the classic rock thread for good.
Now I am the sole Cleveland representative in here :naughty:

[Against Miik!]

I mean I will no longer be a regular poster, or posting in it at all.

And thats it....

[RNR]

Why? Because of some guy who is about to get banned? Forget him.

[Woodstock]

I'm just wondering are any of you guys in band at school

[ZeppelinMan30]

is that in band or in a band?

[RNR]

Please never use the word "zeppelin" and the word "dork" in the same sentance please ;)


I got the original woodstock on cd. :) Awesomeness. Anybody seen the dvd or listened to the record/cd?

[Lithium2112]

hey guys i just went to my local used record store and scored pretty good:
deff leppard - pyromania
rush - all the worlds a stage
max webster - a million vacations
king crimson - beat, starless and bible black
bto - freeways
aerosmith - a night in the ruts
steve miller band - the joker

and all that cost me about 40 bucks :)

[Woodstock]

I mean like marching band, personally I think it's really important if you're going to be a musician :)

I have the DVD rock not roll

My radio station has been playing the Woodstock concert on the radio the past three days. Pretty sweet. I was thinking about getting Hendrix at Woodstock.

I meant one of the classic rock fakers who only listens to Stairway. Or doesn't expand their taste past zeppelin. Because as great as Zeppelin are, there are better bands, in my opinion.

Sorry. :upset:

[Woodstock]

It's ok, I used to be the biggest zeppelin fan but they faded away into the beatles

[ZeppelinMan30]

What does marching band have to do with musicianship? Concert and jazz band definatly help train the ears and mind with "perfect pitch"

[magicbus]

Mine too.

[Woodstock]

I'm in jazz band too

[Woodstock]

Marching band teaches you respect and a lot of musicianship

[ZeppelinMan30]

I'm in jazz band too

I was for about a month, until i got the boot for blazing on the band trip.

[themightyquinn23]

It's the 35th anniversary of Woodstock. That would be the reason.

[Woodstock]

My radio station been doing that to except it lost the transmission and kept restarting

[Woodstock]

[lunch998]

Have no fear I have returned to more pointless rambling and not accomplishing anything.

We need some type of classic rock topic to get on. Uhhh.... Anyone like Blind Faith? I got into them after Cream and I think they're good.

[magicbus]

Yea they're pretty good. This thread is getting kinda spammy.

[Badmoon]

They have nothing to go crazy about. It's not like they recorded that much though.

[PinkFloyd]

Any boston fans? Isn't it funny how their albums got worse and worse after their debut? Not really funny... but I am trying to create conversation.

[lunch998]

They have nothing to go crazy about. It's not like they recorded that much though.


Well yea, but what else are we going to talk about. I tried to bring up something.

[magicbus]

I really liked the first album by Boston. Haven't heard much else though.

[thunderzstruck]

well i just bought my first boston cd today it their greatest hits

havnt been able to listen to much of it but i do like MORE THAN A FEELING and PEACE OF MIND and some others so boston rules

[PinkFloyd]

Boston Songs To Look Into:

Peace Of Mind
More Than A Feeling
Don't Look Back
ForePlay/Longtime
Smokin'
Walk On
Let Me Take You Home Tonight
Feelin Satisfied

Mostly all their stuff on the debut is great. Don't Look back was good but was lacking from the 1st album. 3rd Stage is a bit too corney for my liking but if you like it then cool. And Walk On only has one good song, and that's Walk On. And Corperate America is just garbage. Notice the decline on album goodness as they went on.

[RNR]

Fine :mad:

I'm here. Though i'm dead.


No, the question is...Where the hell is Frail, DVG, Voodoo, RockandRoll ect..

Yes the regulars have not been regular as of late.


I've heard a few songs by Boston. More than a feeling and a few others that I don't know the names of :(. Pretty good. I never really saw them as a hugely important band. I bet my parents have a few of their records.

[zundelicious]

first of all classic rock is about all i listen to. there are new bands today that i like, metallica, red hot chilli peppers, 311, the darkness, and jet are about it though. lately too i have noticed alot of wasted talent in bands. take creed for instance. ok band but i have one thing wrong with them. they r a rock band tryin to be part of a rap world cliche, meaning they will never reach the height of there talent unless they drop there bull**** and just start rockin out.and untill bands like creed start rockin out, in my opinion in the classic rock style, 1. they will still be a mediocre band 2. rap music will remain popular 3. rock n roll will die. people wat we need is a musical revolution. get the **** out of our cd players and lets start rockin. who the hell is with me?? peace :wave:

[RNR]

I'm content with the current scene. The allmans, gov't mule, muse, Kenny wayne shepperd (sp?), Jeff Healey (coming out with newerm bluesier stuff), many classic rock bands are still going.

Music's doing just fine. I think we need t olet music evolve (sp?). Love the classics but accept the new music.

(I could think of more bands but it's late and i'm baked.

[StreetlightRock]

Hey guys.... 'ho f'uck, this is crazy. I just got back from Malaysia 15 minutes ago. I made it to the top of Kinabalu!! Tallest mountain in South East Asia. My legs are aching, and i never want to see a set of stairs EVER again. Glad to see were all still alive... Sorry Rnr, ill get it to you sometime, prolly after i take a frikkin nap. It was so cold up there, i swear my hands were going to drop off. *yawn* G'nite.

DVG.

[Rhoades4206]

Rush,Ozzy,Floyd,Sabbath,Doors,Hendrix,Maiden

Creed broke up.

[magicbus]

Creed broke up.

Yea and they sucked. I don't think they'd ever "rock out". But now they formed a new band! With all the same members except for a new singer who sounds exactly the same! They still suck.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, Creed sucked from day one. I haven't heard that Alter Bridge thing though.

Creed = Pearl Jam with 50% less talent and 50% more God.

[magicbus]

I heard they're song on a commercial for their cd I think. The singer sounds just like the Creed guy. With the whole Eddie Vedder voice.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, slurring all his words and stuff. It fit Pearl Jam. Creed just sounded horrible.

I hate happy music with no balls. If its going to be mellow, it better have something, it better mean something.

[magicbus]

Yea me too. But I'm off to work. Time to miss another days worth of topics! Later.

[themightyquinn23]

You're losing respect at the speed of light.


WHOA!! That's pretty fast!

As for the Boston argument, I can't really see what's so great about them. I mean, they have some ok songs like More Than A Feeling and Foreplay/Longtime, but I dunno, they don't seem like a great band. Not to mention I don't like the singers voice.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, I listened to what seemed to be their self titled album (More Than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, Foreplay,Long Time, Rock and Roll Band, Smokin', etc..). It was good and all but I wasn't completely blown away or anything.

A good, not great band.

SAME, i have no say on creed (thought they all died years ago), but yea bands like the darkness are bringing back the classic rock style, which is great. When i finally start a band this school year, im gonna rock n roll, led zeppelin is my biggest influence, now would be the time for a band to come out and rock the world

[InChains]

Alter Bridge is **** dont bother with them.

[themightyquinn23]

Riff to Smells Like Teen Spirit=Riff to More Than A Feeling

[sandy98]

every one always forgets bands like helloween and fastway two of my favourite bands

[RNR]

^Not to piss in your corn flakes, but helloween is not classic rock.

[PinkFloyd]

Riff to Smells Like Teen Spirit=Riff to More Than A Feeling

Just because Cobain said it in an interview doesn't mean it's true, it means more of it's false. If you listen, the strumming patterns are different and the intervals between the notes are different. God knows how many bands have used that similar chord progression before Boston and even after Nirvana.

As for Boston, I would agree that they are Good, not great and up there with the likes of Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin and such. But for you guys, I highly suggest you take a listen to "Hitch A Ride", one of the best solos in Classic Rock.

[themightyquinn23]

I never read that in an interview, I just assumed.

[RNR]

I highly suggest you take a listen to "Hitch A Ride", one of the best solos in Classic Rock.

If I had a nickel for every time i've heard that, I could buy all of boston's albums and have more of an accurate opinon :)

Riff to Smells Like Teen Spirit=Riff to More Than A Feeling

well they do sound similiar but i doubt kurt cobain copied them

Boston are ok, I guess.

Good 70's pop rock

How did you die rock not roll

ya i`m 14 i listen to classic rock any where from zeppelin to petty to floyd any of them and everyone in my school picks rock over that rap crap

I really don't think that's going to happen. I mean, I really don't. Though it would be nice. Besides, if somebody is making trouble we can just go get superpeer or stagefrighten or that random numbery guy to kick some *** :D


Notice how i'm making less posts now? It's because 4 posts in a row makes the thread look bad ;)

Yeah. The thread is good to read anyway. We've covered so many issues, bands, things.

It might even be an entertaining read.

Anyone on here listen to Argent? They're one of my dads favorite bands and now I'm starting to get into them. They aren't great but I just look for lesser-known bands to bring up.

[Woodstock]

What time period^

[lunch998]

Late 60's early 70's.

[themightyquinn23]

I am about to give up on this thread. Something interesting needs to happen soon.

[PinkFloyd]

Who likes 5 man electrical band!???

[magicbus]

Who else thinks we should have a test for all users that want to post in here. It's one of the last good ongoing threads in the forums, and its being ruined by uneducated noobs.

You are a genious. Also to Paranoidd, I work outside so I can't go on :upset:

[Paranoidd]

Working outside sucks.

I have a desk job. My boss sometimes comes out of his office and does my work, because I bitch I have too much. Meanwhile, I'm on MX forums half the time, and trying to personally resolve the NHL labor dispute the other half.

I only really work from 3-6 pm.

And I have my own radio, and my collection of 200 CD's, and I've made it clear that I won't turn off my radio for anyone, and nobody fcuks with me. If I want to play Slayer when I have a born-again christian sitting behind me (which I do), then tough.

Me > Work
My salary >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Me

The only drawback is I make crap money.

Uhhhh yeah that was a bit of a rant, but I'm high :smoke: :D

[Paranoidd]

how did mtv kill rock? just out of curiosity

Video killed the radio star.

Nobody wants to watch Jerry Garcias pale hippy arse waddling around when they could see Amy Lee.

Not to knock Jerry, his pale hippie arse made some great tunes. :D

[lunch998]

Woo hoo. Someones high. I'm happy for you, makes everything more interesting.

Yea I put in sprinkler systems. Manual labor, but only until September. Make a **** load of money though, so I can handle the work. I worked 11-9 today. YEA! But its ok because I'll have an American Strat in about another two weeks. I wish I was high. :upset:

[themightyquinn23]

Woo hoo. Someones high. I'm happy for you, makes everything more interesting.
I'm still not impressed :angry:

[lunch998]

Come on you know being high would make this more interesting. What are you out to get me for?

[Paranoidd]

Sure does. Especially to come home and find me parents still awake. Not good when they look me in the eye haha.

[Paranoidd]

Man created alcohol.
God created marijuana, and mushrooms.

'nuff said.

Haha that sucks. Bust out the clear eyes eye drops.

[Paranoidd]

Can't do eyedrops...I have inherent fear of being poked in the eyes. Can't even get a proper eye exam. My eyes won't stay open.

[lunch998]

Then hide in a dark place.

[punkmetalbassist]

best classic rock bands:
van halen
the who
led zeppelin
black sabbath
motley crue

dont no if u actually will count these ones:
sex pistols
dead kennedys
ramones
clash

[Paranoidd]

Sex Pistols are great.

[beatle eating bat dog]

im dissapointed that black sabbath wasnt mentioned more often, ill admit that there are better classic rock bands like zep, van halen and especially Pink floyd.

-the trial rules!! w00t!

[StreetlightRock]

h'ok.

Black Sabbath - More 'classic metal'
Motley Crue - Hair Metal

Sex Pistols - Punk
Dead Kennedys - Punk
Ramones - Punk
Clash - Punk

Musically, although the four punk bands above are all 'classic punk', They CANNOT compare in terms of musicianship to CR. Seriouly, 1/2 that stuff is power chords. And the Ramones? Come on. DKs are semi-ok, but Jellos voice drives me crazy. The pistols are a great band for attitude and the clash are probably the best 'tr00 punk attitude' band on that list.

*puff* Just clearing things up.

DVG.

[StreetlightRock]

Rnr, im having trouble with file sizes, but im doing me best, give it some time *struggles with Photoshop* anyone know how to decrease file size?

DVG.

[themightyquinn23]

Here's a debate. What should I put for the genre of my review of Chuck Berry's greatest hits? I was thinking maybe Influential 50's rock. Any suggestions?

[guitrguy]

i dunno :lol: but sweet avator

[Blue Light Special]

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...


Jet is sort of there.

Take your time.

No, just no. They're crappy music and are making all of the mainstream kiddies think that their sound is what classic rock is.

It aint good for a revival. It's just poser music (I don't like the word poser but that's what it is).

[Schyma]

Anyone else think Jeff Beck is better than Jimmy page???

[RNR]

I don't know. My brain doesn't feel like deciding. :)

[mr snrub]

jeff beck is cool, hi-ho siver linning, what a song, the main song for Wolves FC, so my favourite song.

[RHCP0729]

Classic Rock forever. Who here likes Steve Miller Band?

Yeah USA Today did an article on this topic I remember.

[Paranoidd]

Anyone else think Jeff Beck is better than Jimmy page???

No.

[RHCP0729]

Jeff Beck is very cool, but Jimi Hendrix was this mastermind that no one could comprehend. He was so great. Ozzy Osbourne thought he was fake or something when he first saw him play.

Ooops. I thought you said Jimi Hendrix. But w/e. They're very different you know...

Robert Plant's b-day today, as heard on KROQ

[RNR]

Happy b-day to Robert Plant. The original Mick Jagger clone ;)

[jpj]

[QUOTE]Who here likes Steve Miller Band?

I love the steve miller band

And how was robert plant a mick jagger clone? they had totally different styles IMO

[Schyma]

Solo Jeff Beck.............. great


Solo Jimmy page...........horrible

Truth has been spoken!!!!!!!!!!

[Sp.Ed]

At my school there was this big AC/DC movement which everyone was singing Back and Black and stuff, Which actually is sad since kids started forming bands and playing AC/DC songs with 5 guitarists and no bass :lol: , after one of their jam sessions I HATED AC/DC, but I've recovered and am back to loving AC/DC :thumb:

Can they play the solos though?

Ac/dc is the number one classic rock gateway band. Everybody's going to love them and get into classic rock. Maybe a little Zeppelin and a few other hard rockish bands but also have some light stuff and they're hooked. Then they get into lighter rock but not really light like The rolling stones and CSNY. Then onto stuff like the grateful dead and The Doors, then onto folkish stuff, prog and pure blues.

But it all starts with that hard rock ac/dc sound.

you are completely right. thats how it started for me i got into ac/dc then moved onto a little lighter stuff but i still love ac/dc! :) and i see that with other kids too.

[RNR]

That's what happened to me. I should write a book: How to Turn An Idiot Nu Metaler, Mainstream Sheep Into a Proper Music Fan.

[thunderzstruck]

anyone here??? im willing to talk about anything classic rock espcially ac/dc!

[Jarod]

[thunderzstruck]

Poison is like Kiss's less good younger brother :p

[mr snrub]

Cool. No I haven't as of yet, but I am involved in the advertisement of music shows for London so hopefully if they come over I should see them, but haven't heard anything yet. I'd like to, they are a great band and I have their greatest hits album which I liked.

[Woodstock]

Steve Miller Band is one of my favorite classic rock bands.

Book of Dreams is a great albums so is the new greatist hits :thumb:

[thunderzstruck]

Poison is like Kiss's less good younger brother

true!

[Jarod]

ima go sample their music and i might buy a cd.. not sure yet

[Lithium2112]

buy thier 20th century masters album or one of their live ones... :thumb:

[PinkFloyd]

Both Poison and Kiss are bad.

[Paranoidd]

I really hate Kiss. I don't know why people like them.

[Broken Arrow]

I Think we have all learned the bottom line .... Kiss Blows :naughty:

[thelizardkingcc]

Second.

[RNR]

I never really said that Kiss was good. Though now I can stand a few of their songs ;)

I Think we have all learned the bottom line .... Kiss Blows :naughty:

Blows what? :naughty:

*badly off topic*

[Broken Arrow]

You Got ME :confused:

[bobalexander99]

hey guys i'm totally new to this whole thing. i manage glasgow's premier rock bar, and have very recently taken up guitar (smoke on the water mastered) and was looking for some advice on other easy beginner tracks to learn from the tabs...
I love...
AC/DC
cream
deep purple
eagles
free
judas priest
led zeppelin
van halen
the who
clapton
lovin' spoonful
& too many more to mention... so if anyone's got any ideas or is interested in visiting my bar (sorry for shameless plug), post a reply here or drop me a message.
cheers guys :thumb:

[Against Miik!]

All AC/DC riffs are easy.

[thunderzstruck]

I Think we have all learned the bottom line .... Kiss Blows

its not even funny how wrong you are! they are gods!!! :)

[Broken Arrow]

sunshine of your Love = Awesome song easy riff
Black night = Easy and a cool song
Heartbreaker = opening riffs easy solo not
Eruption=Easy song ever first song i ever learned :thumb:
=

Not All AC/Dc riffs are easy except all their bass riffs

[Broken Arrow]

its not even funny how wrong you are! they are gods!!! :)
O.K. i was a Little Harsh but they are by no means gods

[thunderzstruck]

well i didnt mean for it to be harsh and the gods thing was sarcasm

[RNR]

Eruption=Easy song ever first song i ever learned :thumb:


Umm, no.

Besides this guy is like a complete begginer.

[Broken Arrow]

ya and i gave him some beginers songs and eruption for motivation

[Badmoon]

Sure they are. They've done a lot for Rock, and you should respect them for that. They've even been watching out for the kids man :angry: Because there is no Kiss alcohol, or cigarettes, ect...

[thunderzstruck]

eruption is...

[Broken Arrow]

O.k. Gene Simmons is the closest to a god
not peter Criss

The worst thing you can do is just learn songs.

http://www.cyberfret.com/first-fret/index.php

First some work, then learn songs to get more skilled.

[RNR]

I don't exactly know what you're trying to say, because of your lack of punctuation and smooth flowing sentances.

But he can't learn eruption right away. And you didn't either.

[thunderzstruck]

ok on VH1 tomorrow night 10pm central time behind the music of ac/dc is on!!!!!!!!!!!

[Broken Arrow]

I'm sorry. I mentioned eruption for motivation. I know alot of people who wanted to learn guitar and the kids just gave up because they couldn't play certain songs.

[Badmoon]

O.k. Gene Simmons is the closest to a god
not peter Criss

What if I was to say I don't think Robert Plant is a Rock God. He has a cat like voice, and too many gay antics for a strait man.

Watcha gonna do bitch? :p

[thunderzstruck]

yes trying eru[tion when you first start is not a good idea

[thunderzstruck]

anyone going to watch behind the music of ac/dc?

[thunderzstruck]

Anyone Here?

[Broken Arrow]

I never said Plant was a god i just happen to like his lyrics and his singing and i love Zeppelin. Is Jerry Garcia a god?

I will be watching i really like AC/DC

[RNR]

Tripple post...

I don't care about behind the music or any of that crap. Plus they really aren't that great. Like I can see why some people say that they are the greatest band in the world. Because their music appeals to the masses. But to me they're average to sort of above average.

Angus can really play though :)

[RNR]

I never said Plant was a god i just happen to like his lyrics and his singing and i love Zeppelin. Is Jerry Garcia a god?

Garcia>Plant.

K? k.

[Badmoon]

Garcia IS THE Rock God.

[RNR]

Garcia is the hippie god ;).

[Broken Arrow]

Yea Ac/DC is really basic rock i find them enjoyable (might go to a concert in their upcoming tour) but i prefer a band with variety such as Zeppelin, the allman brothers band or Hendrix.

[Broken Arrow]

I'm seeing Deep purple tomorrow

[themightyquinn23]

Garcia IS THE Rock God.
What makes you say that?

[Against Miik!]

I'm seeing Deep purple tomorrow

No Blackmore, no DP. Sorry dude.

[Lithium2112]

I'm seeing Deep purple tomorrow

i really really wanted to go to that tommoro, but i have to go to a stupid wedding instead. if i went that would be 3 concerts in 1 week :)

[Broken Arrow]

No Blackmore, no DP. Sorry dude.
Ya that sucks :upset:


However Thin Lizzy is opening, Satriaini will be playing, and Deep Purple Will still ****ing rock :thumb:

[Badmoon]

What makes you say that?

Because he does it all, and is just an enigmatic icon and a good person. He's the man behind The Grateful Dead, Jam Bands, Country Rock, Bluegrass Rock, ect...

He sung well, had a great musical sense, wrote great, played fabulous electric/acoustic guitar, pedal steel guitar, banjo, ect...

[RNR]

I don't know about rock god. But he is a music god (there are a bunch of music gods). Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton come to mind as other music gods. Dylan for his songwriting skills and clapton for being the greatest emotional guitarist.

Can anybody else think of more music gods?

[Badmoon]

Janis

[Against Miik!]

Anybody like Hendrix. They just seem to glow when they are on stage.

[RNR]

Hendrix rocks as we all know. One of (not the greatest) guitarists of all time. My favorite album is electric ladyland. Everybody always says that Are you experienced is his best because of purple haze. I think that the music is just generally better on electric ladyland.

Anyone else agree?

[themightyquinn23]

Hendrix and Morrison
