Blows What? :smoke:

Many O things.


(I was kidding)

[Broken Arrow]

I know. I don't like them that much.

[rock not rolll]

Satch>deep purple>satch's guitar tech>thin lizzy

[Broken Arrow]

^pretty much

[Elfie]

17 here...I'm turning 18 in 3 months.
Getting back on topic here, has anyone here seen Boston live, because I'm about to go see them and I want to know what to expect

Yes, they played at SummerFest here and apparently sucked. They really are a studio band. A sweet studio band, but a studio band nonetheless.

[rock not rolll]

Yeah. Their guitarist is great on recording. But seems like he would be a little sloppy live (maybe, i've never seen them live).

Healey never misses a note. Unless he's doing improvs to make his live show better than the recording ;)

[tbab2007]

guns n roses what are they considered

[Humor99]

Probably hard-blues rock

[rock not rolll]

Hard rock. I don't detect a ton of blues in their music.

[Paranoidd]

^^^^

Theres lot of blues. At least in the early stuff. Alot of country music influences too.

[rock not rolll]

k then

[Badmoon]

Country Rock > Blues Rock

in my opinion.

[rock not rolll]

Country Rock > Blues Rock

in my opinion.

Steve Earle is country rock ;) He's god.

:chug:

I don't really care which is better. They're both great.

[Paranoidd]

Hydro > Cess

IMO.

[Creedence Clearwater]

Country Rock > Blues Rock

IMO: Blues Rock > Country Rock

[Badmoon]

That's funny, because you have a Bob Dylan avatar and a CCR username. Both more Country Rock than anything else.

[Against Miik!]

What kind of bands are we classifying as country rock?

Countdown to Allmans...2 days

[themightyquinn23]

A lot of the Eagles pre-Hotel California work was country rock. I normally can't stand country, but there are some exceptions.

[Creedence Clearwater]

That's funny, because you have a Bob Dylan avatar and a CCR username. Both more Country Rock than anything else.

if i could have a cool robert johnson avatar I would, though no one would recognise him. As for CCR, I think there are elements of both, i have heard the term "swamp rock". Bob dylan i say if folk rock, although to classify is only to degrade.

[robbo_bobbo]

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?


i agree once a few people in my school started listining to the cloassics many other people started noticing it but most of the songs they know are only upstream. but there has been a definite growth in the popularity in classic rock lately :chug:

[thelizardkingcc]

hey does anyone else here feel out of place since its rock and metal? i think metal should have its own category.

[Badmoon]

When I joined this forum (May 2003), this board has renued my hate for Metal.

[Joe]

you suck

[themightyquinn23]

I think the line between rock and metal in this forum is expanding. I think they should have separate categories, like the punk forum.

[Badmoon]

What kind of bands are we classifying as country rock?

Countdown to Allmans...2 days

Most of The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, The Byrds, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Buffalo Sprinfield, Neil Young, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Country Joe and The Fish, CCR, some Allman Brothers, and Elvis Presley.

Obviously those are highlights, and I wouldn't be surprised if most of you didn't know a few. Well, that easily shows how underrated Country-Rock is.

[Badmoon]

you suck

You lose MX.

[themightyquinn23]

All this talk about country rock and blues rock has dragged on, let's talk about jazz rock. Great music IMO.

[Badmoon]

Jazz Rock is kind of rare, especially strait up Jazz Rock.

[themightyquinn23]

^^Which is why Steely Dan is so great.

[RockAndRoll]

steely dan is awesome. They're great musicians. Speaking of country joe and the fish can anyone reccomend any of his stuff? All I've seen of them is at woodstock.

[Badmoon]

"Feel like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag"

[Badmoon]

I have came to this conclusion

Tommy + Jesus Christ superstar > all

[RockAndRoll]

"Feel like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag"
He plays that at woodstock, I've seen it and love it. Anything else?

[rock not rolll]

When I joined this forum (May 2003), this board has renued my hate for Metal.
It's like all of the idiot elitist(sp) death metal idiots get together in one place. But you have to look past them ;)

[Badmoon]

"Janis"

Now keep in mind, his live stuff is sooo much different than some of his recorded stuff.

[Badmoon]

No, RockandRoll's askin' for good Country joe songs.


EDIT: Great, now you've made me look like the irrelevant idiot :mad:

[rock not rolll]

I have came to this conclusion

Tommy + Jesus Christ superstar > all

Makes sense to me.


Forgive my nonsmartingness (I can't spell ignorance) but who or what is Country joe?

edit:w00t

[Badmoon]

Country Joe Mcdonald and The Fish, he's a Folk/Psychedelia artist, he's from the 60's San Fransico scene.

[rock not rolll]

:amaze: sounds like it would be a good listen.

[Badmoon]

Have you ever wished this thread was moved to Other music?


I think it may be time for a Classic Rock EXODUS!!!!!!!!!!

[rock not rolll]

Yeah...

:amaze: we could get superpeer to move it.

[Badmoon]

Sure

/me no bring it up to the council

[rock not rolll]

I will. :D (we will need 2 more people with over 100 posts here to agree I think).

[Seafroggys]

I just saw Tommy today. Pretty cool movie. It inspired me to do a rock opera for my senior quest this upcoming year. (ie senior project)

Is there anything else other then JCS and Tommy? Didn't the Who do another one? I love the whole rock opera concept, and me, being an aspiring filmmaker and rock artist, will begin a crusade to revive it!

[RockAndRoll]

I will. :D (we will need 2 more people with over 100 posts here to agree I think).
Honestly I don't care where it is. It's fine with me. I hardly ever check R&M because it was (I don't know if it is anymore because as I said I never check it) flooded with metal threads which I care nothing for. I just go to my user cp and scome here from there. I'll agree to a move if you'd like though.

[rock not rolll]

Bitchin'.

1 more...

(I agree that it doesn't really matter, It might be a step closer to getting a classic rock forum though)

[RockAndRoll]

"Janis"

Now keep in mind, his live stuff is sooo much different than some of his recorded stuff.
how so?

[RockAndRoll]

(I agree that it doesn't really matter, It might be a step closer to getting a classic rock forum though)
I like the way you think. I also like the Idea of an exodus, we shall be remembered.

[Broken Arrow]

Exodus>movement of jah people

[thelizardkingcc]

anyone here like rare earth? theyre more funk than classic rock, but they still rock.
they sang "war, what is it good for" "get ready" "hey big brother," and a ****ing incredible cover of "eleanor rigby."

[BillCosby]

anyone here like rare earth?

they sang "war, what is it good for"

I assume a cover? I'm pretty sure Edwin Starr did the original.

[rock not rolll]

So a cover band. ;). eleanor rigby zwns, I want to hear that cover.

[Woodstock]

Hello everyone, back from my ban.

If we were to move this thread to a different file, it would be under best music. :D

[rock not rolll]

We need a rock forum. Metal and rock are different. Most of the time a person will like both but they should be seperated.

[Woodstock]

Agreed^

[Broken Arrow]

I think there should be a Classic Rock section so there could be more than one classic rock thread. :smoke:

[Paranoidd]

Why? We barely generate enough discussion to keep this thread going sometimes.

[rock not rolll]

^there can be. You can make threads about classic rock bands. There are a bunch on the first page ;)

Edit: to woodstock.


And we have enough discussion. A personal section of the forum would spawn more discussion.

[Woodstock]

I made threads about Steve Miller, Rolling Stones, and the Dead but they all die out within a few days :upset:

I guess there are not enough fans

[rock not rolll]

^all threads die out within a few days.

[Woodstock]

Not this one, it's a diamond in the rough

[rock not rolll]

Yes well not the general threads. I'd actually like to see this thread locked (maybe). That way it wouldn't be like classic rock is one small subject. From now on every issue I would raise in this thread i'll make a thread about ;)

[Woodstock]

That would be a lot of baby threads.

Get some college funds.

[rock not rolll]

Or maybe not.


I'm really getting into Tom Petty now. He's king. Anybody else like him? Favorite songs? Albums?

I just got his new(er) album "the last DJ" it's amazing. But I still prefer his older stuff.

[Woodstock]

Older stuff tends to be better no matter the artist.

Anyways, yes I like Tom Petty. Only have greatest, though.

[rock not rolll]

Alice Cooper is coming to Calgary. And I have my tickets. I'm a little worried about him being old and burned out :(

[Woodstock]

I think he has some left in him. I would expect a good show.

[rock not rolll]

yayz

[rock not rolll]

See, the first page is flooded with classic rock thread. A bit of thanks to me.

[i_hate_regestering]

idk if these guys were already mentioned...but velvet underground is great classic rock

[rock not rolll]

^heck yeah. Sunday Morning is teh bitchin'z'd :D

[Broken Arrow]

Alice Cooper is coming to Calgary. And I have my tickets. I'm a little worried about him being old and burned out :(
My cousins saw him a few weeks ago and they said he put on one hell of a show. It seems he's got some left in the tank.

[i_hate_regestering]

"candy says" is my favorite velvet underground song

[Schyma]

Heroin is mine

[magicbus]

Herion is my favorite drug.

[Badmoon]

how so?

Most of his recorded stuff is heavily psychedelic, and very organ lead. He doesn't always do that live.

[Broken Arrow]

I just bought The Who- Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy Brand New for 7$ cdn.
sweet Deal eh?

I also just reveiwed Depp Purple in Rock it was my first review ever!

[rock not the roll]

Nice Review. I should really do some reviews.

[Broken Arrow]

^ thanks i found in My dads vinyl collection a few years ago and fell in love with it.

[Badmoon]

I also just reveiwed Depp Purple in Rock it was my first review ever!

I have done almost 40 something reviews, where's my parade?

[Broken Arrow]

Right here: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Good Work



Happy?

[Badmoon]

No, because one third of them are mediocre the others are good. The good ones rarely get read :(

[rock not the roll]

I have done almost 40 something reviews, where's my parade?

You don't brag about your reviews. Maybe if you said something we would be all like "wow he did reviews, good job". Ya know?


Once I get my good acount back i'm reviewing...

<--------------------

[lunch998]

Yes! Badmoon is awesome. Lets hear it for 40 reviews! (I'm not being sarcastic that is a lot and I compliment you on doing so many.)

[Badmoon]

You don't brag

I'll give you the Badmoon rules o' reviewing :p

Because i'm the best :p


And because I'm watching Jesus Christ Superstar ;)

[Broken Arrow]

I think i may reveiw more, it wasn't that hard and i kinda liked doing it.

Badmoon should have his own archive.

[Badmoon]

No, Nacho, Orb, ect... they're all better than me.

[Broken Arrow]

So how about the Who. I have Live at Leeds and Who's Next and my new C.D any opinions on them?

[magicbus]

I'm watching The Wall :thumb:

[RockAndRoll]

Alice Cooper is coming to Calgary. And I have my tickets. I'm a little worried about him being old and burned out :(
He's not burned out beleive me. :thumb:

[Broken Arrow]

ya Canada got 2 Medals today :thumb: ....off topic

[Badmoon]

So how about the Who. I have Live at Leeds and Who's Next and my new C.D any opinions on them?

The Who is the greatest Rock band ever.

[Broken Arrow]

yea Live at Leeds is incredible every classic Rock fan should own it or at least somthing from the Who.

[Broken Arrow]

I got my 8 yer old brother hooked on classic rock. when all the other kids are listening to Backstreet boy my bros listening to Sabbath,Frampton ,Deep Purple and AC/DC.

[The_Bends]

I hate how people miss The Velvet Underground and Iggy & The Stooges, who I think are the greatest bands ever. Has anyone heard "Nico" or "Loaded" by the Velvet U or "Funhouse" or "Raw Powe" by The Stooges? You're all missing out.

[RockAndRoll]

I just bought The Who- Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy Brand New for 7$ cdn.
sweet Deal eh?



Ya I had that CD, then I lent it to my friend for a schoolday and apparently he lost it in washroom (that's what he says but who takes a cd to the washroom?). So I went to the receptionist at my school and asked her to make a call for if anyone had seen the cd. But she said that she wouldn't and if I wanted her to I'd have to get CD's with more appropriate names. It was ****.

[Broken Arrow]

Ya its a great C.D. for a great value.

Your friend is a dirty liar he probably stole it.

[Badmoon]

Well, if it makes you feel better, it's a compilation. Meaning you can find a lot more, though maybe not the exact one.

:)

[RockAndRoll]

Well, if it makes you feel better, it's a compilation. Meaning you can find a lot more, though maybe not the exact one.

:)
I knew that. I was just sad, there went 7 bucks down the drain :(.

[Woodstock]

Do you think the Who will ever get a hint to put Baba O' Reily on a greatest hits or what?

[RockAndRoll]

Do you think the Who will ever get a hint to put Baba O' Reily on a greatest hits or what?
Isn't it on the ultimate collection?

[Woodstock]

I mean a single CD, like the new one that didn't have it :mad:

[RockAndRoll]

I mean a single CD, like the new one that didn't have it :mad:
I dunno, say has anyone seen the kids are alright? amazing dvd, gotta love barbara anne :lol:.

[rock not the roll]

The who rock. I didn't like them for a little while because of lack of guitar solos but now i'm past my idiot ac/dc-ish music phase.


And the who are gods.

[themightyquinn23]

Don't buy The Who 20th Century Masters. You have been warned

[rock not the roll]

:amaze: the who sure do have a lot of dvds and such.

Can you say cash grab?

(great music though)

[Woodstock]

Was tempted, but did not.

[Schyma]

I hate how people miss The Velvet Underground and Iggy & The Stooges, who I think are the greatest bands ever. Has anyone heard "Nico" or "Loaded" by the Velvet U or "Funhouse" or "Raw Powe" by The Stooges? You're all missing out.

Raw power is the greatest punk cd ever :thumb:

[punkrBadreligion]

personally i think the gretest band of all time is Pink Floyd. Roger Waters and David Gilmour are awesome song writers who could have easily gone off in their own direction. if a band were to come back like them, the would bring back rock and roll into the modern world.

[Creedence Clearwater]

And the who are gods.
I agree, its a band full of legends in their own right

[Badmoon]

I dunno, say has anyone seen the kids are alright? amazing dvd, gotta love barbara anne :lol:.

Yeah, I bought that awhile ago, and have probably watched to it 100 times.

barbara anne

:lol: Great cover. I like Pete's solos on it.

[Broken Arrow]

[QUOTE= :lol: Great cover. I like Pete's solos on it.[/QUOTE]

Ya it's nice to see him solo cause he rarely does it.

[jpj]

hello...is there anybody out there? if so start talking

[StreetlightRock]

*waves* Anyone listen to any Slashs Snakepit? Some great stuff.

Oh yea, i watched the Zeppelin Live DVD - this song remains the same... some CRAZY stuff. The drum solo in Moby Dick and the ending 'Whole lotta love'.... Amazing.

DVG.

[jpj]

i've watched the zepoelin dvd like 3 times it's a must buy for any =one who likes classic rock

[Broken Arrow]

I have the Zeppelin DVD but not the song remaind the same. The DVD is Mind blowing

[StreetlightRock]

*cries* i know, i gonna get it someday.... I dunno, the song reminas the same is a little annoying sometimes cause they show these random clips, like some sorta music video, but i wanna watch the band playing but noooo, random clips. I swear, that DVD was edited so that it was made to watch while your stoned. Like, it has all these colours and random images and split screen and crazy shi't like that. like your ment to be on acid to watch it, heh.

DVG.

[wanton]

Anyone like Mott The Hoople?

[magicbus]

Isn't it on the ultimate collection?

Yea I have it. Its track 20 on disc 1.

[magicbus]

I have the Zeppelin DVD but not the song remaind the same. The DVD is Mind blowing

I have that one too, and its basically footage of them playing the whole time. None of this goofy, acid stuff. Its pretty awesome.

[Broken Arrow]

I need help I just finished a review on Happy Trails by th Quicksilver Messanger Service what should i put them as? I was thinking along the line of western Physcidelic Rock or just plain Acid rock.

[Paranoidd]

I hate how people miss The Velvet Underground and Iggy & The Stooges, who I think are the greatest bands ever. Has anyone heard "Nico" or "Loaded" by the Velvet U or "Funhouse" or "Raw Powe" by The Stooges? You're all missing out.

<---- Loves the Velvet Underground.
<---- Loves Iggy Pop.

I even have Lou Reed's recent solo stuff, albeit its not even close to the VU underground or the transformer (aka "I want to be david bowie") days.

Raw Power is the second greatest punk album ever, right after Nevermind the Bollocks, heres the sex pistols.

:D

[Badmoon]

I need help I just finished a review on Happy Trails by th Quicksilver Messanger Service what should i put them as? I was thinking along the line of western Physcidelic Rock but i Dont Know

I've heard that album a million times and this is what I'd say.

(Psychedelia/Acid/Rock) Quicksilver Messenger Service - Happy Trails

[Broken Arrow]

Nice Call^ Great Album isn't it.

[Badmoon]

It sure is :).

[RockAndRoll]

Yeah, I bought that awhile ago, and have probably watched to it 100 times.
Ya I've watched it many many a time, it's very very well done.



:lol: Great cover. I like Pete's solos on it.
Keith's singing>Pete's solos :p

[Broken Arrow]

Finished my reveiw. It's O.k. but not as good as Badmoon's reveiws. Oh well

[rock not the roll]

Finished my reveiw. It's O.k. but not as good as Badmoon's reveiws. Oh well

It liked it. You're right. It's not as good as badmoon's reviews :p. Still good.

[Badmoon]

Well, I spend a lot of time on mine, so... :p

Good job

I just bought Gov't Mule - The Deepest End, their double disc live album with DVD. It's insane, and I'm only 3 songs in.

[Paranoidd]

Anybody heard of a band called Fred?

[Against Miik!]

Countdown to Allmans...4 hours. To bad Los Lonely Boys aren't playing though.

[Badmoon]

I'm expecting a review.

[Against Miik!]

I'm still not 100% on whether or not flash photograhpy is allowed.

[Woodstock]

Just sneak it.

[Against Miik!]

No, I don't want to be flashing a camera in the middle of the concert, and I don't want to risk it. I have huge respect for these guys, and if they don't want cameras, i'm not gonna do it.

[Woodstock]

Use a video camera then.

[Against Miik!]

O yea, good luck sneaking that in. I really don't want to risk either taken away.

[Woodstock]

Ok, what about a cell phone camera. Do you have one?

[Against Miik!]

I do, but do you really want pics that bad?

I have a question I feel kinda dumb asking. Does Guns N Roses have two singers, or does Axl have like two voices? Becuase on songs like Mr. Brownstone, there are there are two voices that sound completely different, but I guess they are both Axl. Whats up?

[Woodstock]

Better than no pics at all.

[rock not the roll]

w00t 4444 posts! Darn miik, I wanted that 4444th post :(

Edit: the bass player does backup vocals sometimes if that's what you mean.

[Against Miik!]

What? 4444? And it's not backup. It's lead, singing actual main vocals.

[Paranoidd]

^^^^

Duff (bass player) wrote songs on his own, and performed some of them with GnR. For example, "Dust n Bones" was a Duff song. Same with "fourteen years" from use your illusion 2. He does the main vocals, but Axl usually weasels his way in there, because there is no way he would do a song he couldn't sing on.

[Against Miik!]

Listen to Mr Brownstone. The verses don't sound a lot like Axl in other songs.

Bring back the mullet and I'll marry you.

[rock not the roll]

Healey has it covered

<---------

[Woodstock]

He doesn't know he has a mullet.

[rock not the roll]

Yeah but he has one. And people will follow his example. By growing a mullet and stabbing out their eyes.

[Against Miik!]

He doesn't know he has a mullet.

Yeah, when he looks in the mirror, he can only see the business on top, and he completely misses the party in the back. A common mistake.

When he looks in a mirror he sees nothing. Due to blindness. :cool:

Therefore, the joke. Oh I get it.

[rock not the roll]

The joke is ruined :(

meh

[Woodstock]

Ok new topic. Um, what do you think about the Hard Rock Cafe chain?

[rock not the roll]

Bitchin'. Great music/foodz0rz.


my 2 favorite things.

[Woodstock]

The one in DC has Duane Allman's guitar.

[rock not the roll]

The one in DC has Duane Allman's guitar.

I intend to go there and steal that guitar.

[Woodstock]

It's missing three strings. People stole them. And it's covered in dust.

[Against Miik!]

Rock Hall has a Duane Allman and Dickey Betts guitar, both in mint condition with 6 strings. So imo, Rock Hall>Hard Rock Cafe.

And sorry for not knowing he was blind. If he were standing next to eachother, that would put me in quite an akward situation.

[Paranoidd]

The hard rock in Toronto has a huge ugly left-handed les paul looking light up guitar on the outside...its so ugly, but I'm happy its a lefty :D

[lunch998]

yea Live at Leeds is incredible every classic Rock fan should own it or at least somthing from the Who.

Ok I know I'm really late, but is it the one-disc or two-disc version? I own the deluxe edition with two-discs (where they play almost all of Tommy on disc two.) But either version is incredible, I think it's one of the best live albums ever.

Other than that I have the Who Box set(Burned it from my dad), Happy Jack (or A Quick One depending on where you're from), and Who's Next. Just about all I need.

[rock not the roll]

The Who>the non who.

Makes sense to me.

[lunch998]

Yea, basically The Who>Everything else.

[magicbus]

The joke is ruined :(

meh

You guys ruined my joke. :mad:

[mouseydude]

is classic rock like classical music and rock together?

[magicbus]

No its like rock from the 60's and 70's. Like the "classics". Not classical.

[themightyquinn23]

He wasn't being serious. Just look at his other posts. You can tell he's trying to be a jackass.

[magicbus]

Oh. With 7 posts I thought he was just another noob bastard.

[mouseydude]

No its like rock from the 60's and 70's. Like the "classics". Not classical.
oooh! lol i thought it meant from the classical music

my bad

[mouseydude]

i reely like lead zeppelin

[mouseydude]

He wasn't being serious. Just look at his other posts. You can tell he's trying to be a jackass.
i AM serious! im just new to rock and metal so i dont know much. i used to listen to rap all da time but then i got sik of it and i wanted to try a new genre

it's led zeppelin not lead

[rock not the roll]

i AM serious! im just new to rock and metal so i dont know much. i used to listen to rap all da time but then i got sik of it and i wanted to try a new genre

In rock we don't say "da". We say "the".

[Creedence Clearwater]

Creedence Clearwater Revisted is awesome

www.creendenceclearwaterrevistited.com

[RockAndRoll]

Some classic rock (prog rock) does mix classical music and rock.

[Woodstock]

Does anyone here like Emerson, Lake, and Palmer?

Jimi Hendrix was rumoured to join them for a new band called H.E.L.P. but he died before anything was started.

[lunch998]

Just got Highway 61 Revisited and Grateful Dead live at Winterland 1978. Life is good.

[Woodstock]

Just got Highway 61 Revisited and Grateful Dead live at Winterland 1978. Life is good.

It's "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh. Just thought I'd mention that since no one ever talks about him here.

[RockAndRoll]

Just got the very best of bob marley and the wailers, Grateful dead Europe '72, Abbey Road, and CSNY "so far". Does it piss any one else off that you can no longer find anything but best of's for most of these older bands. Honestly, Although they're better than nothing honestly I don't want any more god **** greatest hit's I want the album's!

[Woodstock]

Has Abbey Road and So Far and is happy for you.

[lunch998]

Just got the very best of bob marley and the wailers, Grateful dead Europe '72, Abbey Road, and CSNY "so far". Does it piss any one else off that you can no longer find anything but best of's for most of these older bands. Honestly, Although they're better than nothing honestly I don't want any more god **** greatest hit's I want the album's!

Yea it pisses me off too. It's a thing about me that I like having the actual album, and listen to it the way it was ment to be. Not same collection that someone else said were that groups best songs. By the way, what CSNY CD would you recommend I get first?

[Woodstock]

So Far, then Deja Vu and then CSN s/t.

[RockAndRoll]

Although I have yet to listen to So far (due to listening to the other cd's I bought) it looks very good.

[Bluesman522]

Exactly, not to mention all the good songs you miss out on. For example I had never even heard of tell all the people until I bought the soft parade, now it's one of my favourite doors songs. This happens all the time.

[Woodstock]

"Hidden gems" is what I call 'em

[Spectrum]

Does anyone here like Emerson, Lake, and Palmer?

Jimi Hendrix was rumoured to join them for a new band called H.E.L.P. but he died before anything was started.

Yes. They were pioneers in the arranging of Classical Music to the Rock genre. Great band.

I am a lover of pretty much all classic rock. I think it is absolutely great music, and defined an era and all music to follow in the "rock" genre. Why it is underappreciated is beyonf me, but the fact that it is seeming to be popular with the youth of today is a sign of great things to come in my opinion. I particularly enjoy:

The Beatles
The Eagles
The Who
The Rolling Stones
All Clapton projects: The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, Eric Clapton (solo career).
The Moody Blues
Boston
Aerosmith
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
The Grateful Dead
Led Zepplin
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
CSN
Neil Young
Cat Stevens
Jimi Hendrix

Far too many more than I can remember at this time.

Yea I know exactly what you mean. The Who have so many "best of" albums that I really dont recommend any other them. You guranteed to miss out on some great songs i.e. Amazing Journey. Original Albums>Best ofs.

Wher have you been all my life?

[Badmoon]

So, Rock (Not), did you buy any Gov't Mule yet?

[lunch998]

Yea this guy just came out of nowhere and hes got my respect. Post here more often.

[RockAndRoll]

I not this wasn't directed at me, but I looked at some although I didn't buy any.

[Badmoon]

You're a fool, do so next time.

Best Woodstock performance - Canned Heat

I'm sorry, please don't hurt me. I already ahd set in mind which cd's I wanted before I went (Ofcourse I had to settle otherwise, but close enough) Now I have a job though so next time I will have more money and will! Canned heat was quite impressive at woodstock I must say.

[Seafroggys]

Canned Heat played at the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival over the Independence weekend. I didn't see them, but they played their entire Woodstock gig.

[Badmoon]

Santana were great on the Woodstock video too. Especially the drummer.

[Woodstock]

Yeah, the version of Soul Sacrifice is amazing.

[RockAndRoll]

definitely, Country joe macdonald, and jocker cocker are another two that stand out in my mind.

[darsunt]

Steely Dan is my favorite classical rock band now. I've been making a collection of their songs, getting such gems as 'Throw back the Little Ones' and "King of the World"

Looking for Steely Dan gems that I haven't heard of yet...most of their albums I haven't bought

[Schyma]

Lets talk about Jimmy page's solo career and how much it sucked.......I bought Outrider a week ago and I am very disipointed at this attempt at a solo album....... Do not get Jimmy page solo albums......youve been warned.

awesome :thumb:. I've only heeard Aja (entire album) and a greatest hits (69-79 i think) which I own but from what I've heard they're amazing.

[Spectrum]

Wher have you been all my life?

I don't know. Where have you been? I've been in the Southern Maine area, mostly.

How could I forget? More that I like:
Bob Dylan
Carlos Santana
Don Henley
Don McLean
Creednece Clearwater Revival
former Beatles members solo' efforts, especially Paul McCartney with Wings and John Lennon (until he was tragically killed).
Steely Dan
The Allman Brothers

Interesting point of fact relating to Dylan... Dylan's classic "All Along the Watchtower" has been covered by anyone who can play guitar, notably DMB, SRV, myself, and Jimi Hendrix. When Dylan heard the Hendrix version he said that was how it was "meant to be played", but that he wasn't good enough to play it that way.

And Dylan was hendrix's favourite artist.

Who feels like playing or doing another list game? The album one failed, but this one can just be personal opinion, rather than adding them up.

Sure, I'll do it.

Zeppelin

:chug:

[Tudrickville]

Oh oops I forgot Dylan, great songwriter

What kind of list? How bout best live shows/CDs?

[Against Miik!]

So whats up?

[Badmoon]

^How was the show?

[thelizardkingcc]

can ya hear me major tom?

[Against Miik!]

A night full of joys and dissapointments. The night started off pretty bad. They are touring with Los Lonely Boys, who I think are great. I would go to a concert just to see them. But for some reason, they were unable to play. So they got some other crappy warm up band called the Bottle Rockets. So finally, The Allman Brothers came on. They started off with Stateboro Blues and One Way Out. I thought it was going great. Then, the next 5 or so songs were all newer. Now don't get me wrong, I thought the playing was great, everything sounded so beautiful, and all that, but I was there to hear the classics. The second half of the concert started off with Midnight Rider, so I thought we were back on track, but they just played some more newer songs. The encore was Melissa. I was slighty pissed that they didn't play Whipping Post, Jessica, Hot Lanta, or Elizabeth Reed, but I understood that they weren't just playing for me. Overall, it was an incredible experience and one of the best concerts I have ever attended, but I can only think that it could have been sooo much better.

[themightyquinn23]

Where was it? Hopefully not at Blossom, it was pouring yesterday.

[Against Miik!]

The Ampitheatre

[Schyma]

The Traveling Wilburys anyone?

Sounds great.


I'm going to deep purple and thin lizzy :D (who aren't as good as the allman brothers :().

uhh yeah.

good review :D

[Broken Arrow]

Wish I was born in 1958 :upset: . Then i would be old enough to go to all these sweet bands it their prime.-The Allmans,Zeppelin ,Floyd ,Hendrix think of the possiblitities :smoke:

[Humor99]

The Traveling Wilburys anyone?
Must say, I like their stuff. I have the first CD, and might be interested in getting the 2nd if I could ever find it.

EDIT: Also, I love Harrison's solo efforts.

[rock not the roll]

Okay, so... I was with my mommy at the mall (stfu) and there were at least 30 kids with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Ac/dc etc.. shirts. my god! I mean I knew it had become trendy to like music from the 70s but this is just out of control.

I could out quiz all of those people on any of the bands that they wear on their shirts. I always hated the word poser, until now!

[Woodstock]

What can people like us wear to not be posers.

Maybe lesser known band shirts.

[Slayer145]

Classic rock is awsome especcially bands like AC/DC, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Guess Who (from my hometown), Alice Cooper. And Augest 30, Van halen is coming here which will kick ***.

I got his sweet Zeppelin shirt like a year ago now everyone has them. So i asked this guy "so do you have any of there albums" he replies and says he has the early days Cd. i was so pissed. I like wearing my shirt but do not want to be included of that stupid group :( (i own all the the Zeppelin Albums and I have the Dvd)

Wow, that would make you the only person who is allowed to wear a shirt and like a band. Congrats :thumb:

[Broken Arrow]

I also like wearing concert shirts because it actually shows your a true fan and not only buy the shirt because your classic rock loving friend(can't say i have any) listens to them.

The only people I know who wear zeppelin shirts are me and another guy but he's a real fan. But next year i'll know freaking 50 people who aren't fans but wear the shirts.

[Broken Arrow]

^you should get Jeff Healey shirt i bet alot of people don't have those.

[Against Miik!]

Because whether or not you have a t shirt proves whether or not you really like or know anything about the band.
