Classic Rock

[Against Miik!]

Like what was there line up?

And another thing I forgot to mention. They were recording the concert. Live album maybe?

[Badmoon]

Sweet :)

Yeah, the lineup.

[Against Miik!]

Greg, Warren, Butch Trucks and Jaimone on drums, I think his name is Marc Quiones on percussion, Derek Trucks(Butch's nephew), and Oteli Burbridge on bass. In the middle of the concert, Oteli just did this 10 minute bass solo thing. It was believe in or not one of the highlights of the concert. I think he is probably the best new member of ABB, meaning he is the only one who exceeds his predecessor in talent. Warren and Derek are great obviously, but nothing beats Dickey and Duane.

[magicbus]

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!

Christ man, I know what you mean. I went to buy some new shirts today, and I couldn't find one shirt that I hadn't already seen on some gay freshman last week. It was sickening. I'm ready for this trend to end.

[Woodstock]

HEY!

[Badmoon]

Me too, but I rule :p


Nobody has my Gov't Mule shirt :cool:

Wonderful that's just what I was hoping you'd say.

Speaking of Trucks, it's good to see a slide musician who actually has a reason why he's playing a slide (Other than just the twangy sound) and has adapted his style to it.

[Woodstock]

wOOt, Ninth graders we rule so much, ok that's enough.

Anyways, I brought this up with no reply but what do you guys think of Emerson, Lake and Palmer?

[magicbus]

HEY!




I'm a Freshman(prepares for flaming)

But it sounds like you have a decent knowledge of classic rock. I'm talkin bout the freshmen who have the "Led Zeppelin USA" or whatever shirts. That gets real annoying.

[Woodstock]

That really isn't common where I live.

Hey, decent knowledge!

[Badmoon]

wOOt, Ninth graders we rule so much, ok that's enough.

Anyways, I brought this up with no reply but what do you guys think of Emerson, Lake and Palmer?

:D

They're part of the Prog circle of three I made up. Which ELP, King Crimson, and Yes. Who I believe traded around a few musicians back in the day.

[Woodstock]

We'll make a club. The ELPKCY fan club.

Edit: To long, nevermind :upset:

[Against Miik!]

I have an idea. Lets make a new list of who is the most knowledgable of the regulars in here. It would probably only be a top 10 though.

[Badmoon]

No, that'd make us angry and mad at each other.

[Against Miik!]

Well, I guess its pretty obvious anyway

[Woodstock]

That would be somewhat demeaning.

[magicbus]

Would I be in it?

Also, I'm really gettin into Yes more and more. Their music creates like an atmosphere when you listen, like man. Can't explain. Kinda like Floyd's more instrumental peices. I'm really into the long instrumental, psychadelic stuff. Close To the Edge is a great cd.

[rock not the roll]

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

Sounds super-duper. I like the way you think.

[Woodstock]

There's gotta be one in the world.

[lunch998]

The only trendy t-shirts around where I live are really Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and maybe Floyd. (The same "Stairway to Heaven" Zeppelin noobs Woodstock and I were discussing in the LZ thread.) So I'm currently hunting for a Who t-shirt. While not a rare band people haven't heard of, they have very few t-shirts so wearing one usually means your a real fan. Maybe an Allman Brotheres t-shirt too.

[rock not the roll]

An allman brother shirts, Jeff healey and possibly the doors would do nicely.

[Woodstock]

Has a Who and Doors shirt.

[lunch998]

I'm going to have to order a Who shirt off the interent, any good places you guys know of?

[magicbus]

I got a Morrison one, Dark side of the moon (but not the one everyone else has), and a Bob Marley shirt.

[Woodstock]

I have two DSOTM shirts.

[led_zep_luvr]

i love:
Ac Dc
Creedence clearwater revival
Pink Floyd (just got thier best of CD its awesome!)
Tubular bells!!!!
The beatles

I dont think there will ever be a band as good as the beatles because they had three songwriters who could have all easily been Bigger than anything before but lucky for them they were all in the same band. i dont think as much talent could be packed into one band nowadays. Notice on the later albums they all started to explore in thier own directions but they still made **** good songs.
which songs are on the pink floyd best of CD

[thelizardkingcc]

nah, people who wear tshirts are one thing, but people who claim they are true classic rock fans because they like hendrix (when theyre just wiggers who love rap and sweat black people) piss me off. People are gay.

[magicbus]

Honestly, how could you bring yourself to buy a Pink Floyd Best Of cd. If you want any respect at all, buy all the albums. Best Of. A single cd could not hold the best of Pink Floyd.

[Woodstock]

Astronomy Domine
See Emily Play
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
Another Brick In The Wall, part two

Hey You
Marooned
The Great Gig In The Sky
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun

Some albums and songs you just cant find anymore.

And it's a two CD set :D

WOW, true smarts :thumb: Peaple are happy hhhmmm

[thelizardkingcc]

sarcasm?

[Woodstock]

I love it^

[magicbus]

Who knows. He's newb.

[Schyma]

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.

The 2nd is so rare I haven't herd it yet. Got the 1st and 3rd though :smoke:

[Humor99]

The 2nd is so rare I haven't herd it yet. Got the 1st and 3rd though :smoke:
There was no Volume 2, the 2nd CD I meant was Volume 3.

[RNR]

Dark side of the moon shirts are trendy. I don't like them. Though it's a hell of an album.

[Humor99]

Dark side of the moon shirts are trendy. I don't like them. Though it's a hell of an album.
I said basically the same thing to my mom the other day. I'd wear the shirt if I didn't see everyone else in my school wearing it.

[PinkFloyd]

I have an Animals shirt :cool:

Anyways, the best of is jiberish. How can you throw songs from the wall and mix them with songs from DSOTM? It just doesn't fit. Sometimes there are good greatest hits. But with Pink Floyd, each album has a certain atmosphere and theme so if you take bits from each and put them together, it looses a certain feel which makes Pink Floyd unique.

[RNR]

The pink floyd best of album is for the idiots who wear dark side of the moon shirts and haven't heard any floyd but like to be trendy. At least then hey can say that they like another brick in the wall, wish you were here and time and such.

[punkskametalman]

for anyone looking for a band that comes somewhat close to revitalizing classic rock style, listen to Silvertide.


download I Ain't Comin' Home by them

[Creedence Clearwater]

Where do I go for that download?

[RockAndRoll]

Has an eric calpton (concert) t-shirt, two the who t-shirts (who's next and a random one), a doors shirt (morrison in flames), and the dark side of the moon shirt (so sue me).

I can understand getting best of albums even for certain great bands because.. 1. You may not have known much of their stuff at the time 2. You may not be able to afford very many CD's 3.Sometimes albums are just impossible to find.

[beatle eating bat dog]

Dark side of the moon shirts are trendy. I don't like them. Though it's a hell of an album.
i agree i tried not to buy that one and got the "iwish you were here" tshirt instead. :)

[beatle eating bat dog]

if you asked people who "liked" pink floyd how many of em could tell ya that they have listened to comfortably numb and could tell you what it is about i wonder.

How can you say things like that about the Who?

I don't care about your fights with anyone else, I just feel you've underestimated the Who, one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.

Pete Townsend was a great guitar player. No, he isn't Petrucci, but tons of modern guitar players are inspired by him. His style was more based on the power in his hand, rather then the effects he could use, and Who songs are very distinct because of this. You can tell a Townsend strum, its his calling card. Not to mention his ability to write songs is nearly unmatched. Not to mention, he was able to blend so well with the very active rythym section he had, playing a style that accented them, rather then taking over.

Keith Moon, may he rest in peace, will always be known as the original crazy drummer. His speed and style still retain their uniqueness to this day.

John Entwhistle...jeez...one of the pioneers of the bass. The stuff that guy would do still amazes me....I'll never forget the first time I heard the bassline on Pinball Wizard...wow.

Roger Daltry was a great frontman the same reason Plant was a great frontman...not because of singing ability, but because of lyrics and style.

The Who were also one of the great songwriting bands...right up there with The Beatles.

I hope you'd give The Who another chance.

[StreetlightRock]

thelizardkingcc, Chill. Take a deep breath and come back when you can justify the stuff you say w/o using swear words.

Annyway.

I was listening to the BBC sessions version of 'Thank You' (LZ) and i thought it was really awsome! Its just that, i dunno, alot of people think Thank You is a really bad song but i was listening to the BBC version of it and was like, hey this really rocks! What do you guys think about it?

DVG.

[Paranoidd]

I love that song.

I've DJ'd a wedding where the couple had that as their main dance. It was wicked.

[RockAndRoll]

Don't argue because you will be so very wrong if you do.

[RNR]

5 or 6? how about 20? And leave his own songs out because they suck.

[Broken Arrow]

Ya I have alll the Roth albums on viynl. Roth was a dick but a really good frontman/singer.

I have to admit i'm not a Van Halen Fan really, I know a few of their songs and they're okay, but nothing special.

[Downer]

I got into classic rock by listening to my dads old records. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, The Velvet Underground, The Who, The Doors, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Van Morrison, The Jimi Hendrix Expierence, Black Sabbath and many many more. I credit these bands for introducing me the to music at a young age. Most of the bands that come out today say they are influced by rock gods such as Zep but how can they really say that when they only play pop punk or something like techno? I agree with those of you who want to hear a new band that actually sounds classic and gets back to the realy roots of rock n roll.

[Paranoidd]

What the hell is "something like techno"?

[HoTPiNk]

I love classic rock. I got into it mostly because my mom and dad always listen to it. When I was younger, though, I thought it wasn't cool, and my parents always said I'd learn to appreciate it. I haven't just learned to appreciate it, I love it. I have a record player in my room and I listen to all these old albums, it's cool.


I'm going to Alice Cooper in October with my mom, it shall be a grand time.

[RNR]

^same, to your first paragraph and to your second.

:amaze:

[HoTPiNk]

You're going with your mom?? :eek:

[thelizardkingcc]

Yeah, uhh sorry about the posts last night, I was in a severe beliggerent drunken rage, but I still dont like Miik or respect his opinions.

Back to The Who however, someone said that Moon was the "original crazy drummer," when it was definitely John Bonham. In Drummer Magazine like 6 months ago they had an article on Bonham, and they directly said that before he started playing hard and heavy, other drummers had attempted it and just sounded like crap, but after he showed drummers how to play hard and skillfully, Moon came along and started the same style, so they said that Moon was the second drummer to do it well. I dont dislike the Who, as I previously indicated in my drunken blathering, but I honestly do think they are extremely overrated. They have their moments, and are a talented band, but they didnt produce enough good music to be considered one of the best.

[Paranoidd]

That's odd...Zeppelin formed in 1968. The Who had at least four albums out by that time.

[cutmyhair]

Keith was doing it pretty early, though
back when the who were the high numbers he played crazily

[thelizardkingcc]

Hmm, well I still have the magazine, and I know what I read. Was Moon's drumming as hard then as it was in their later albums?

[Paranoidd]

Well...yeah. I dunno, thats pretty weird. Maybe the mag is just off. It happens.

Moon couldn't even play drums. He didn't keep a set where he lived. Every time they recorded they had to wait a few days for him to re-learn.

[RNR]

You're going with your mom?? :eek:

Cooper was the fsecond day of rock in the park (or the hawk rocks the park or whatever you want to call it the rock festival in london), and healy played at the blues fest in london, and there was a way to get stage level about five feet away for free, best seats in the house.

uh no. For starters moon predecesses bonham.

Secondly moon and bonham have very very different styles. Moon enjoyed "surfer music" and it was part of his insparation, he has a very untamed style, he's quite off the wall with his drumming much like he was in life.

Bonham on the other hand was more tame as most drummers are. He was a solid player and a more powerful player. He makes great use of his bass pedal (single) and has become quite known for it. Keith is known for his off the cuff, untamed good fun style, Bonham is known for his harder, more powerful (and much more tamed) style, and for his use of the single bass.

John bonahm was not the original crazy drummer. Keith moon was doing his crazy long before he even heard of bonham.

Man, We've acknowedgled them alot. Have you seen them live they put on a great show.

[Broken Arrow]

Do you mean dance on fire? I own that one (well it's a 3 VHS set with Dance on fire, Live at the hollywood bowl, and I think the last one's called people are strange I can't remember though)
Ya thats it. I like when he make up the poem about the grasshopper.

Ya thats it. I like when he make up the poem about the grasshopper.
ya I should watch those again soon haven't seen them in a while.

[RNR]

Why don't people ever acknowledge Deep Purple as a great classic rock band? The along with Zepplin and Sabbath started the Heavy rock scene!

please acknowledge them, excluding Smoke on the Water!

Thanks, Sproose!

=P

I like Deep Purple. Just not that much. Sabbath is good and zeppelin is good. There are plenty of better bands.

Keith Moon is my second favorite drummer. The guy is nuts. He was one of the major reasons why the who were so great (that and brilliant writing and a great singer).

[Broken Arrow]

Interesting fact: My mom born on the same day as Bonham
My dad born on same day as Moon

Sweet Eh?

By drummer logic that makes you Neil Peart! :amaze:

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah. Iam also Canadian like Neil. We have so m,uch in common.

[SRSharp2006]

Beatles, Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Beach Boys (if they count), The Who, Pink Floyd, Doors, Cream, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Boston, Rush, Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull, Yes, Queen, Van Halen, Clapton (THE BEST EVER), Hendrix...music doesn't get much better than that.

[Paranoidd]

Are you being sarcastic saying he couldn't play or something? haveing to relearn something doesn't mean you can't play, hell R.E.M had to buy a book of their songs because they didn't remember how to play them.

No, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm not calling Moon a bad drummer either. The Who > Me. I'm just making the point that most people learn an instrument, and they either get to a certain point and stop, or keep learning. Moon had to teach himself how to play drums every time they recorded an album. You'd at least think alot of musicians would keep their instruments on hand. If anything, it's a compliment. Imagine teaching yourself to drum like THAT, many times over. Amazing.

David Bowie has to keep a lyric sheet in front of him, he can't remember all his songs anymore.

[clown_phobia]

anyone picked up the new who compilation? (then and now 1964-2004).

someone give me a list of classic metal bands

[StreetlightRock]

I LOVE Deep Purple. I think there v. underrated actually. Ritchie is a guitar genious. It just that alot of their songs arnt so 'catchy'. I love Ians voice as well. I just think it sucks that everyone only knows Deep Purple for Smoke on the Water. Hell, alot dont even know that. *sigh*

DVG.

I thought they were dead :(. Is this like one surviving member and a bunch of fill ins or something?

im pretty sure theres to original members and then the lead singer is the old lead singers brother

[RockAndRoll]

I dunno I'm a bit skeptical of this, it just seems to weird (not that moon wasn't) meh, whatever. I see what you mean though :thumb:

I read it on a site, which I can't find. But this article is along similar lines:

Right then :)

[BillCosby]

David Bowie has to keep a lyric sheet in front of him, he can't remember all his songs anymore.

Well he's written like over 200 songs, so I think that's more than excusable. ;)

But I didn't notice him using a lyric sheet when I saw him.

[jpj]

at my school we just got our yearbooks from last year today, and on the cover was the name of a ton of classic rock bands like zepp, the beatles, bob dylan, black sabbath along with some newer stuff like dmb and radiohead. But I guarantee 90% of the yearbook staff has only heard iron man and was like "yeah sabbath rules!". What do you guys think about that?

[jpj]

thats what i was trying to figure out. probably cuz all the popular kids(basically thats who makes up the yearbook staff) thought it eould be all hip or some ****

[Badmoon]

I read it on a site, which I can't find. But this article is along similar lines:

http://twtd.bluemountains.net.au/cream/moon.htm

No, read Keith Moon's biography. He had taken lessons, and he kept a 4 piece at his house.

There are tons of rumors about him, most not true.

[Badmoon]

[Humor99]

Well he's written like over 200 songs, so I think that's more than excusable. ;)

But I didn't notice him using a lyric sheet when I saw him.
He probably rehearses the songs for a particular night beforehand, and uses the lyric sheets for recording sessions.

Or something.

[Creedence Clearwater]

Hehe Spinal Tap, I worship that movie.

And yes, Joe Perry is a great guitarist. Good riff writer. Plus Dream On is a brilliant song.

[themightyquinn23]

Great guitarist, but he isn't underrated.

[Woodstock]

He's just rated

[Against Miik!]

When was the last time he was mentioned here or in the guitar forum. Or even Aerosmith in general?

[Woodstock]

I think I saw a thread about him once.

[themightyquinn23]

Heh, Aerosmith is definitely not underrated.

[Against Miik!]

Heh, Aerosmith is definitely not underrated.

How about compared to say...Led Zeppelin? A band they happen to be better than in my opinion.

[themightyquinn23]

Hmm.......Well, I'm not big on blues-rock, so I'm not big on either band. But Steven Tyler>Robert Plant

[Woodstock]

Hmm.......Well, I'm not big on blues-rock, so I'm not big on either band. But Steven Tyler>Robert Plant

In terms of how much they can fit in their mouths.

Now up for discussion: Revolver. Because I have been listening to it a lot lately. For No One is a beautiful song. And to think I used to think that song sucked......... :upset:

[Badmoon]

Janis Joplin - Port Arthur, Texas

Google it if you must.

Does anyone else think Country's influence on Rock is horribly underrated?

I don't know. I like some country rock but I could easily go without it.

Maybe it is, i'm not in a possition to judge.

Possibly, but it's irrelevant. Just post the first C.R. you think of when you hear the word.

[Schyma]

I don't know. I like some country rock but I could easily go without it.

Maybe it is, i'm not in a possition to judge.

Rolling Stones have some great country

[Badmoon]

Meh...They're more Blues. English Rock bands usually don't perform Country well, or just don't do it. The Beatles and John Lennon do it okay.

[RNR]

Skynyrd is from Jacksonville, Florida, I think.

Well then why are they always preaching alabama? In their live performances they mention it like 10 times.

Rolling Stones have some great country

I could do without the Rolling Stones.

[Schyma]

Meh...They're more Blues. English Rock bands usually don't perform Country well, or just don't do it. The Beatles and John Lennon do it okay.

You haven't listined to much Stones have you.............

John Lennon country??? :lol: No Sir........not country :smoke:

[Badmoon]

Listen to the song "Crippled inside"

and I didn't want to be mean, but you couldn't have been more off with The Rolling Stones.

[Schyma]

Listen to the song "Crippled inside"

and I didn't want to be mean, but you couldn't have been more off with The Rolling Stones.

Listin to "Dead Flowers", "Honky Tonk Girl", "Wild Horses", CountryHonk".......etc

[Badmoon]

They're still more Blues songs.

[Schyma]

They're still more Blues songs.

No **** I was saying that some Stones songs are country they are Blues\Soul\pop\Rock\country......ect :lol:

[Badmoon]

I'm talking about your picks, not in general. Those songs are more blues songs than country.

[RNR]

They were both (more blues though). They obviously has blues elements like all rock bands at that time. But they were also country-ish.

[Paranoidd]

Well then why are they always preaching alabama? In their live performances they mention it like 10 times.


That's whats puzzled me for quite some time.

[Creedence Clearwater]

Kieth richards is the driving force in the Rolling Stones and he is blues man at heart (look at his covers of Robert Johnson) and in turn its hrd to classify the Rolling Stones as anything other than Blues,not country.

[RNR]

Yep. The best thing about the stones is catchy riffs. Have good songwriting and a good singer and you have yourself one of the most popular rock bands of the 60s (and some 70s I think).

[Broken Arrow]

I find Mick Jagger's stage antics quite annoying.

[RNR]

^die

[Broken Arrow]

Why^ His dancing is annoying and stupid but somethings wil never change. I'd just rather focus my attention to Keith instead.

[RNR]

Fine, be that way :mad:







(was kidding :( )

[Dark Hero]

I'd just rather focus my attention to Keith instead.

...

[BillCosby]

I could do without listening to the Rolling Stones.


Fixed. ;)

They had the quite the influence, you have to admit.

[Humor99]

I can't stand listening to the whole 40 Licks CD. I think a reduced version would have been better, it just drags on.

[RNR]

Fixed. ;)

:amaze: nicely done.

I'm aware of their overall infulence on modern music.

[Woodstock]

That's a great compilation with great song order. Dont know what you're talking about.

[nubtub]

well, i agree that dylan is king. and ccr kicks much as.s as well...but im not really into the stones either.

[Woodstock]

The stones are just a great rock and roll band to me.

[jpj]

a lot of stones songs bore me, but i like some of them like paint it black and mother's little helper

[Woodstock]

Their songs are not supposed to be power ballads or legends, just good listening songs.

No, not boring.

[Badmoon]

Well, if they are supposed to be good listening, and people are bored...Someone's failing :p

[Woodstock]

Opinion. I love them.

[jpj]

Some songs i do enjoy but mostly i have to stop in the middle of the song and put on some yardbirds, or queen, or zeppelin, or something

[Woodstock]

Listen to the whole song before you judge it.

[jpj]

i do. i usually listen to a song twice before i make an opinion on it, but with some songs that i dont like the 2nd time i stop it

[Woodstock]

I grow tastes. I used to hate the Stones. Then I listened to White Horses and I got hooked.

[jpj]

that's one of the songs i dont like. just my uncared about opinion

[Woodstock]

I think it's a beautiful song, Kieth's soloing is great.

[BillCosby]

I only like the Stones in small doses. When they come on the radio it doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't really want to sit down and listen to a whole album.

[jpj]

^^^^kinda what i was trying to say

[marcusfoster2002]

Change of subject, people always go on about led zeppelin, the stones , pink floyd etc. But how comethin thin lizzy are rarely mentioned?
