Classic Rock

[Badmoon]

Once we get some more feedback, I may put him.

[Psychedelic]

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...


The post after this said something 'bout the darkness, which are in a mission to bring happiness back to our sad world of music. My band is full fledged stoner, and we got this whole thing going on cuase I just hate punk, metal, and whatnot and whatever is out there. I think we need to bring back bongos, trance music, and acoustic/electric stuff, cause I do not see more of that out there.
More old bands you'd like are:

Ten Yeras After
Jimi Hendrix Experience(and plain Hendrix ,too!)
Iron Butterfly
Jefferson Airplane
Peter Frampton
Yes
Peter Gabriel/Genesis
The Police
CREAM!
Moody Blues
J. Giles Band
Fleetwood Mac
Robert Palmer
The Doors
Derek and the Dominoes
Styx
Journey
Foreiner
Blues Image
Pnk Floyd
Syd Barret(solo work)
Psychedelica(Slightly newer band with old taste)
Sly and the Family Stone
The Who
Prince and the Revolution
The Hollies
The Kinks

that's all I can name off the top of my head, there's way, way, way more.

[Badmoon]

I think we need to bring back bongos, trance music, and acoustic/electric stuff, cause I do not see more of that out there.

Yes!!! We need a band that comes along that resembles Santana, that'd be sweet.

[big80smullet]

is tubular bells classic rock?

Nice list :thumb:

About The Darness. Yeah they are fairly talented and fun and good sounding but they are nowhere near some of the first clasic rock bands so unless they play a concert near me I won't really care about them.

[B0nz0]

who are the tubular bells?

and ur list left off the beatles? and led zeppelin? and CSNY? and the Allman Bros? and Springsteen? and CCR? and Deep Purple? and the Grateful Dead? and Santana? Van Halen? the Yardbirds? SRV? Joe Cocker? the Doobie Bros? Lynyrd Skynyrd? Neil Young? the Byrds? Joe Walsh? the Eagles? AC/DC? Aerosmith? and the Rolling Stones? Bob Dylan? Steppenwolf? Dire Straits? the Band? Jethro Tull? Chicago? Queen? Traffic?

oops sorry. got a little carried away. it's a great list, i just wanted to add some of my favorites to that. we should try to cobble together a complete definative list of classic rock bands.

[Badmoon]

^ Calm yo self down!!!

[B0nz0]

lol told u i got a bit carried away and then i didn't feel like deleating them

anyways . . .

so anyways, who saw the rock and roll hall of fame inductions this year and was dissapointed. ok so prince is talented, we know this. o and alesia keys and outkast are idiots. nothing new there. so then why show them so much. the least they coulda done was given traffic a full song. geez i'd take traffic over prince any day. and keith richards mind is gooooooooooooone...

[RNR]

o and alesia keys and outkast are idiots. nothing new there.

:eek: did they get into the fall of fame?

[jimmypumpkin]

:eek: did they get into the fall of fame?

No, they just inducted Prince.

[B0nz0]

yea and made idiots out of themselves in the process

[Badmoon]

John Blackwell, was playing for Prince (the drummer). That guy is insane.

[B0nz0]

so who SHOULD be in the rock and roll hall of fame? i think van halen and the doobie brothers are shoe ins.

[jimmypumpkin]

I think Rush deserves their spot in the R&R Hall of fame.

[RNR]

I think Rush deserves their spot in the R&R Hall of fame.

They will get in eventually.

Edit: Yeah Van Halen and the Doobie Brothers for sure.

[B0nz0]

what about chicago and blood sweat and tears??

[Badmoon]

^ not my favorite of bands, but they do mix certain genres and do it nicely.

[B0nz0]

i think jethro tull is quite unique enough to deserve a spot. and i quite like dire straits, though i dunno enough of their material to say they deserve a slot. lynyrd skynyrd might though. i really would love joe cocker to get in as well. it's only a matter of time before black sabbath is in of course. way too influential to keep out. and i would love to see deep purple grab a slot...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Jethro Tull are among my favourites. so many differnet feels within one band...bluesly, folk rock, synths, its just so diverse from era to era with thim. their mid-late 70's were my favourite era with "a minstrel in the gallery, a passion play, warhorse, songs from the wood, and heavy horses".

[B0nz0]

and they have a flute, can't forget the flute...

[Badmoon]

Each band you have all named will probably soon enough get a spot. Keep in mind that the hall of fame has nor been around as long as you might think. They are still probably trying to enter the obvious canidates.

[B0nz0]

yes i know. i wish i understood how their process of admitting ppl works better. do u happen to know the criteria? also another band i think deserves a slot are the moody blues...

[Badmoon]

^ I have no idea, what I sayed before was just common sense.

[B0nz0]

i think it's on their web site, but i'm too lazy to check now. i'll do it later unless someone wants to do it for me, the url is www.rockhall.com

[RockAndRoll]

"Performers
Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist’s contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.

The Foundation’s nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects nominees each year in the Performer category. Ballots are then sent to an international voting body of about 1,000 rock experts. Those performers who receive the highest number of votes, and more than 50 percent of the vote, are inducted. The Foundation generally inducts five to seven performers each year."

there you go that's from the site bonzo listed

[B0nz0]

how does one become a rock and roll historian or a rock expert? i want those jobs. much thanx to rock and roll for not making me do that. sorry i'm a lazy bum...

i wish they'd let stevie ray vaughn in. he is a god...

[Badmoon]

^ A good college education and a masters in music would help.

[B0nz0]

lol i'm sure they would. what's in a rock and roll historians job description? they prob just write liner notes to compilation albums lol.


so i've never really listened to rush before, but as i've been drumming for 6 years now, i think it's long past time i start. anyone wanna recomend some cd's? or should i try and find a greatest hits album?

[Badmoon]

lol i'm sure they would. what's in a rock and roll historians job description? they prob just write liner notes to compilation albums lol.

Actually they probably write books, and in magazines.

[B0nz0]

lol i was joking, but way to answer my serious question. i really wanna know where i should start listening to rush. what albums?

[Badmoon]

^ No clue, I don't care for Rush.

[Samsung II]

Tom Petty will always be my favorite artist.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

lol i was joking, but way to answer my serious question. i really wanna know where i should start listening to rush. what albums?

im the man to ask, Rush are argubly my favourite band.

first 5 to get:

1. fly by night
2. a farewell to kings
3. test for echo
4. permenant waves
5. counterparts

those are a good mix of their years, following that get.

6. Hemispheres
7. signals
8. moving pictures
9. roll the bones
10. grace under pressure

the others are all GREAT! thats just a good way to break into the band id say....if you have ANY Rush questions e-mail me at geezerbutler@hotmail.com -Frail :thumb:

[Ent]

what Hendrix song do you feel is the most overlooked, or in other words...you dont see why it wanst considered a classic.

One rainy day wish is amazin
Wait untill tommorrow
Easy rider
May this be love
Valleys of neptune
And, im not too sure, is Machine gun considered a classic?

[Badmoon]

^ Yeah, I love "Machine Gun"

*Bump*


The Grateful Dead anyone?

Favorite member - ?

Favorite song - ?

Favorite Album - ?

thoughts?

[Gi_Joe_86]

if you love Classic Rock then you have gotta love The Grateful Dead. such a amazing band!

[goodvibrations]

I do see how you could say that among teenagers there is a revival of interest in classic rock. I see a lot of kids last year that listened to mainstream rock and punk who are moving closer and closer to hardcore classic rock fans.

In my highschool I think I was OG Classic rock, I was all about Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and the Band going into eight grade, and got a lot of my friends turned onto that stuff. Now I'm going back further into jazz musicians, old blues players, latin jazz, bossa nova, and new stuff like the mars volta and modest mouse. A classic rock band that no one has mentioned yet that is absolutely stunning is Santana circa 1970. Abraxas remains one of the most genius albums ever made, even if his songs now suck you cant deny santana was a genius back in the day.

[Badmoon]

^ Actually Santana has been mentioned several times

[VoodooChild]

The Grateful Dead anyone? *raises hand* ME!!

Favorite member - Jerry, then Bob...

Favorite song - *gasp* I like them all... my favorite ones for right now are "Brown Eyed Woman" and "China Cat Sunflower"...and all of the others

Favorite Album - Dicks Picks, Vol. 4 and American Beauty... and all of the others

thoughts? One of the best bands ever, they had a positive impact on everything. Can't wait 'till summer when I'm gonna be right at one of their concerts....


Edit: Hehe look at my post count 420 hehe...

[Badmoon]

^ Time for my input

Members - Jerry, Pigpen, Phil

Song - Cumberland Blues, Dire Wolf, Sugar Magnolia

Album - 1.) Workingman's Dead 2.) American Beauty, it's a close call

Thoughts - Fabulous, and beyond belief, and underrated.

Funny, I think it is only me and you (Vodoo) and Bonzo, that know and are really into The Grateful Dead on these forums. Though that is probably not exactly true.

[B0nz0]

I'd go for

member - jerry
song - truckin', uncle john's band, straw jack, sugar magnolia, and cumberland blues
album - american beauty
thoughts - no1 really underrates em, everyone i know likes em quite a bit...

[B0nz0]

it would be cool if we could do the same thing with my favorite band the beatles:

favorite member - George Harrison

favorite songs - penny lane, revolution, hey jude, here comes the sun, while my guitar gently weeps

favorite album - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

thoughts - easily the best band of all time. no other band was ever able to put together such a huge amount of songs of the quality that the beatles did. this is why the fab four will always be remembered as the greatest rock band of all time. i don't think anyone will ever pass them.

[VoodooChild]

*gasp* MUAH TURNZ

Favorite Member - Gotta go with my man John

Favorite Song(s) - AAAHHH!!! Too...many...good...songs........Hard...to...choos e
Yesterday(it counts), Ticket to Ride, There Are Places I Remember, Imagine All the People(it counts), I Am the Walrus, Here Comes the Sun, Day Tripper, Blackbird, Back in the U.S.S.R., fine, I'll shut up...

Favorite Album - Anything Revolver and past. More specifically ummm White Album

Thought: One of the best bands ever, incredible song writers, influenced music in a huge way, were one of the originators of rock 'n roll, and too many other complements...

[Lateralias]

hey can someone help me out and tell me what the name of the song is that they have on playing on the rush website
http://rush.com/ (http://rush.com)

[Badmoon]

Member - George

Songs - A Day in the Life, Sixty-Four, Across the Universe, Black Brid

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Member- George

Song- O Blah Dee O Blah Dah or Dear Prudince.

Album- Please Please me

Comments- i gotta be in the mood for them, but almost 50 years later they still rock

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

hey can someone help me out and tell me what the name of the song is that they have on playing on the rush website
http://rush.com/ (http://rush.com)

The Spirit of Radio...from their 1978 album "Permenant Waves".

[B0nz0]

oo we could do that with random classic rock artists for the rest of this thread.

let's do it with the great led zeppelin next

favorite member - john bonham

favorite songs - the ocean, over the hills, stairway (duh), dy'er maker, bron yr aur stomp, and heartbreaker

favorite album - how the west was won, followed closely by IV and physical graphiti

thoughts - the ultimate hard rock band, they just did everything right. plants vocals can get under my skin though, but the instrumentals make up for it.

[Badmoon]

Okay (Keep in mind I don't care for them that much)

Member - Jimmy Page

Song - Misty Mountain Hop, Kashmir

Album - Led Zeppelin II

Thoughts - none

[B0nz0]

this would be awesome if we did it like a game, like the person who comments on the band then posts the next band to comment on . . .

[Badmoon]

^ I say we have atleast me, you (B0nz0), Frail, and perhaps Voodoo (maybe not because he isn't on all the time) each do then band, and then we switch the band.

[Ent]

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

member - well i dunno, HENDRIX!

Song - Voodoo child

Album - Are you experienced, Axis bold as love

Thoughts - Wowza!

[Badmoon]

^ I guess we could start up a new one

Member - Mitch Mitchel

Song - Fire, Killing Floor

Album - I guess Are you Experienced

Thoughts - Jimi has a great underrated backing band.

[RNR]

^Mitch Mitchel was awesome. Hendrix was the reason why they were huge but everybody is always saying that hendrix was the only talent and that is just not true. Listen to some of Mitchel's backing drum beats and try and say that Hendrix was the only person who made that band good. As for the bass player, I can't even hear him :p

[jimmypumpkin]

Member- Mitch Mithchell

Song- Little Wing, or Hey Baby

Album- Axis:bold as love

Thoughts- Jimi was a renegade, and changed what people thought was possible on guitar.

[B0nz0]

member - mitch mitchell

song - all along the watchtower, manic depression, purple haze, wind cries mary

album - are you experienced

thoughts - what a guitarist jimi was. great band. are u experienced is one of the few albums i can listen to straight through. i only wish he lived longer...

[RNR]

Please let's not keep doing this for ever. Well anyway.

Led Zeppelin.

Member- Jimmy page.

Songs- Black dog, communication breakdown, Heartbreaker, Rock and roll, The ocean, dazed and confused, Stairway to heaven, you shook me, living loving maid, Kashmir, Babe i'm gonna leave you, Over the hills and far away, Battle of evermore, Four sticks, whole lotta love, dy'er maker...

Album: Led Zeppelin (self titled).

Thoughs- They can rock and roll and also make beautiful acoustic songs. They use lots of different instruments and are for sure one of the most talented all around bands ever.

[RNR]

Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Member: Sorry Mitch but Jimi is my favorite.

Songs: Machine gun, Voodoo child, Purple Haze, Hey joe.

Album- Are you experienced?

Thoughts: Jimi is god. Wtf is the bass player's name anyway?

[B0nz0]

already did them?? didn't we?
EDIT:: led zeppelin that is

o well i'll go for the Allman Brothers

Favorite Member - Gregg Allman

Favorite Song - Whipping Post, Jessica, Rambling Man, One Way Out

Favorite Album - Live at The Fillmore East, Extended Edition

thoughts - amazing band. saw them sunday. best concert. ever. they still put on quite the show...

[B0nz0]

Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Member: Sorry Mitch but Jimi is my favorite.

Songs: Machine gun, Voodoo child, Purple Haze, Hey joe.

Album- Are you experienced?

Thoughts: Jimi is god. Wtf is the bass player's name anyway?

the bassist is named Noel Redding. he was really a guitarist who jimi persuaded to switch to bass at the last minute.

[RNR]

^ Yeah but is took me so long to think of all of my favorite songs for Zeppelin that about 5 posts had happened while I was making it.

[Badmoon]

Just post it then

[RNR]

I did, it is way back there. This thread just went up about 20 posts in the last 10 minutes.

[Badmoon]

Is everyone ready to do The Allman Brothers, if not just post what your on anyway.

Members - Dickey Betts, Duane and Gregg Allman

Songs - Blue Sky, Melissa, Ramblin' Man, their cover of Sugar Magnolia

Album - Eat a Peach

thought - They were a few years late for what would be the time period they would fit into well. They're a great jam band and each musician is fabulous.

[RNR]

I don't know them well enough to do one of these :(

I'll just start a side conversation on that stupid rolling stone'a 100 guitarists list. There is no freaking way Jack White and Kurt Cobain are better than Eddie Van Halen :angry:. And also notice how mostly classic rock guitarists and blues guitarists (which is like classic rock's brother) go on tha list?

[Badmoon]

^ I actually think they didn't do to bad. The flaws they did make were huge though. Some guitarists like Townsend, and Blackmore should have been higher. I'm glad they included Stephen Stills and Ry Cooder, they're the two greatest slide guitarists.

[jimmypumpkin]

^^^^

Not trying to start an arguement, but what's so great about Townsend? I think he's a phenomonal song writer ("Tommy" is amazing), but as far as his guitar plaing goes I don't see what's so great about it.

But I agree that Blackmore should've been higher.

[Badmoon]

Well for one he did pioneer power chords. Of course he had great solos, and broke some grounds that were never thought of or have been explored. I'm sure there is more, but I cannot think them. I'm not sure about what place he deserves, but he should definatley be a above Cobain, White, Garcia, ect. Though Jerry Garcia is fabulous.

[jimmypumpkin]

Speaking of The Who, I've been listening to "Live At Leeds" a lot recently. Classic.

[RNR]

Speaking of The Who, I've been listening to "Live At Leeds" a lot recently. Classic.


Hence the term "classic rock", right?

[jimmypumpkin]

Sure.

[Badmoon]

Speaking of The Who, I've been listening to "Live At Leeds" a lot recently. Classic.

Yeah, "A Quick one While He's Away" makes that album in my opinion, and "Magic Bus", especially the first time Pete comes in with the backing vocals. :)

[B0nz0]

ok on the rolling stone guitarist thing, i was a little ticked at the omission of satriani and vai. and cobain was way too high. eddy van halen was way too low. robby krieger was too low as well...

[Badmoon]

^ I don't care for Vai, Malmsteen, Satriani, ect, because they are basically imating a style of another, with the exception of Malmsteen. There is no doubt that they have talent, but I don't find that they revoloutionized anything.

[B0nz0]

o and on the subject of the who, i greatly enjoy who's next and tommy. both classic albums.

i think my favorite members of the who are def keith moon and john entwine, or in otherwards the dead ones. when they found pete looking at kiddy porn that was a sad day for music. do any of you happen to know who played keyboards and horns on tommy?

[deftoned]

^ No, he was cleared of that. He's not a child pornographer, just wait for the book to come out.

[Badmoon]

Pete did some of the piano work on Tommy, and Entwistle did most of the horn work on Tommy also.

[B0nz0]

i wish moon and entwistle weren't dead . . .

[Badmoon]

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr should team up with Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey, and record some tracks, that'd be sweet :cool:

[RockAndRoll]

I'm really curious to know what the next work morrisson would have done and the next work zeppelin would have done would have turned out more than anything. Morrison just because of the whole fuss around him before his death wonder how that would've turned out and Zeppelin because i heard they're next album was to be a rockier sound as they had in there first few albums, apparently they felt their newer stuff was becoming to polished. Now ofcourse there are others i wish had never passed aways and who i'm sure would have come out with more great music but those two i'd be the most interested to hear, whether or not they turned out to be the best.

[RNR]

I would like that. But it will never happen.

Edit: to badmoon. Hmmm well this post could work for rockandroll as well.

[Badmoon]

Here's some big news for Classic Rock fans

The remaining members of The MC5 are going on tour, and to replace to two dead members (Smith and Tyner), they got Mark Arm from Mudhoney to play rythm guitar and sing. Now it won't be as great as The MC5 would have been if they had all the members, but I love Mudhoney, and I'll bet the tour will be great.

[deftoned]

Rumours are the MC5, Stooges (w/Iggy) and the Pixies to tour Australia doing the national Livid Tour in October..The Who are touring here in July!

[Badmoon]

^ Yes to promote their new album :)


The MC5, The Stooges, and The Pixies should be great. Even though The MC5 are missing Smith and Tyner. I also don't really see where The Pixies fit into that mix.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Member - John Paul Jones (SOOOOOOOOOO underated)

Song - bron yur a stomp, the song remains the same, in the evening

Album - houses of the holy

Thoughts - complete perfection in my mind.

[deftoned]

Badmoon349: No they're not touring together, but as part of a big annual music festival in Aust every year :thumb:

[cvh_maverick]

When I was 13, I got on the band wagon, meaning Nirvana, Marcy Playground, etc. I'm not proud of it, but it happened. When I turned 15, I got AC/DC's Back in Black. It completely changed my life. 4 years later, I've collected every AC/DC album, numerous Who albums, Zeppelin, Rush, Van Halen... the list goes on. I've converted many of my friends, who no realize the error of their rap loving ways.

As the great frontman Brian Johnson once scribed:

~Rock and roll ain't noise pollution, rock and roll will never die~

He sounds like a dying cat but meh. I like him anyway :thumb:

[Badmoon]

^ That's what I say about Robert Plant whenever he screams,

[jimmypumpkin]

Haha, yeah Plant's voice is always either hit or miss for me. Sometimes I can't stand his voice, but sometimes I love it. I love his voice on the first album, but I'm not really a fan of it on the later albums.

[RNR]

I like Robert Plant when he stays within his own range! Stairway to heaven is good singing.

[B0nz0]

going to california is quite good as well.

i'd love to see the who, even without entwistle and moon.

[Badmoon]

I saw them without Moon and Entwistle. They use various bassists, but they have Zach Straky as their drummer.

[jimmypumpkin]

^^^^^

Who's Ringo Star's son, right?

[Badmoon]

^ That is correct

[Frodo]

Member - John Paul Jones (SOOOOOOOOOO underated)


Absolutely, Jonesy was/is a musical genious.

[RNR]

Absolutely, Jonesy was/is a musical genious.

-Great bassist
-Keyboards
- Mandolin on Battle of evermore :thumb:x1000
-Nice backup vocals.

I'm sure there is more but the guy was awesome.

[Badmoon]

^ I wouldn't exactly call him a musical genius. He is slightly overrated. Being able to play a few instruments doesn't make you a genius, but none the less he was a great or atleast satisfactory musician.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

-Great bassist
-Keyboards
- Mandolin on Battle of evermore :thumb:x1000
-Nice backup vocals.

I'm sure there is more but the guy was awesome.

Stand up bass on "bron yur a stomp".

To me, his Keyboards/Bass lines enhance LZ's music like no other. ive told several of my friends to listen to their favourite LZ album and focus on JPJ and afterwards they all had a new respect for him. his knowledge of the neck and his speedy style of rock/blues bass is one not found in music often today. as for his Keyboards, i think his stlye inspired alot of the keyboard works in the 1980's electronic type rock bands.

Anyone into his solo work, i saw him on his "Zooma tour 00'" and it was fasntastic!!!!!!! I loved it, also his "thundertheif" album is remarkable, he sings on here as opposes to Zooma. I have an expeneive Vynal of his 1985 movie-record "scream for help" with guest features Jimmy Page and Yes' Jon Anderson. John Paul Jones is one of my biggest inspirations. :thumb:

[Badmoon]

Anybody into the James Gang? Includes 3 fabulous musicians. If you have yet to hear them pick up Rides Again, or The Yer Album.

[VoodooChild]

YAY!!! I'M BACK!!! Now to catch up on all of the action I missed. 2 days.


Led Zeppelin

Favorite Member - Jimmy

Favorite Songs - When the Levee Breaks, The Battle of Evermore, Ten Years Gone, Tangerine, Stairway to Heaven, No Quarter, In My Time Of Dying, etc...

Favorite Album - Led Zeppelin IV

Thouht - Too great for words...


The Allman Bros.

Favorite Member - Derek Trucks, Duane Allman

Favorite Songs - Mountain Jam, Jessica, Midnight Rider, Ramblin' Man, Sweet Melissa, Whipping Post, etc...

Favorite Album - Eat a Peach

Thought - All of you already know how good they are...



The Who. Never really got into them. Don't ask why.
MC5 news sound good.
That's about it...I think........

EDIT: JPJ was a very, very important piece in the Led Zeppelin puzzle.
James Gang, haven't heard of them. Better go illegaly download some of their songs.

[B0nz0]

I saw them without Moon and Entwistle. They use various bassists, but they have Zach Straky as their drummer.
is he better than his daddy? i love ringo, but he was just a pretty good drummer, i wouldn't let him fill the shoes of keith moon...

[Badmoon]

Zach is pretty good, I wouldn't say he's better than Keith, He has a much different style than Ring, so that is hard to say.

[B0nz0]

john paul jones is great, but so was everyone in that band.

i got tickets to see the doobie brothers in july!!

and are there any creedence fans here? CCR was what first got me into music. i love down on the corner, traveling band, suzie q, fortunate son, up around the bend, midnight special, born on the bayou, heard it thru the grapevine, proud mary, bad moon, and of course green river, just to name a few..

[B0nz0]

Zach is pretty good, I wouldn't say he's better than Keith, He has a much different style than Ring, so that is hard to say.
well ringo always kept it simple, which i actually find to be a good thing in many cases, look at phil rudd of ac/dc. his simple playing greatly enhances the music. and if it doesn't add to the music, it takes away...

[RNR]

I just listened to some Allman brothers (hittin the note, eat a peach and beginings). They are now in my top 10 favorite bands of all time :D. Wow i'm just blown away... Too good for words (more words that is).

Yeah, CCR are great. They are heavy influenced by Bluegrass, and that would be the best genre to be influenced by in my opinion.

[B0nz0]

i absolutely love bluegrass. especially banjos. coollest instrument ever.

[B0nz0]

I just listened to some Allman brothers (hittin the note, eat a peach and beginings). They are now in my top 10 favorite bands of all time :D. Wow i'm just blown away... Too good for words (more words that is).

go and see them live. i went last sunday. one of the best concerts i've ever been to. period. they played for 3 hours and 15 minutes. some songs were 30 minutes long. it was godly

[Badmoon]

^ "Mountain Jam" 33:18

[Badmoon]

i absolutely love bluegrass. especially banjos. coollest instrument ever.

Banjos are one difficult instrument, I've been playing mine for a few moths and it's just hard to progress.

[VoodooChild]

Yea, you can't go wrong with bands like String Cheese, Yonder Mountain, Leftover Salmon, Bela Fleck, Old & In The Way, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Norman Blake, etc... These are just some varous bluegrass players/bands off the top of my head and I love them all. YAY!!!!

[StreetlightRock]

are banjos similar to play compared with guitars?

DVG.

[VoodooChild]

Banjos are one difficult instrument, I've been playing mine for a few months and it's just hard to progress.

Seeing what badmoon said I'm guessing it's hard.

[Lithium2112]

i dont listen to any modern rock bands... except for the darkness, only because they sound like classic rock... there is only 1 downside of being a classic rock fan, you wont be able to see very many of your favorite bands live. id pay anything to see a zeppelin concert. im really into classic punk too, like the ramones or the sex pistols.

favorite classic rock bands:
led zeppelin
pink floyd
van halen
ac/dc
the doors
deep purple
guns n roses
jimi hendrix
kiss
black sabbath and ozzy osbourne
who
aerosmith
rush
queen... and more

not only do i like classic rock... but i like listening to it on vinyl... and that was way before my time. i prefer LPs over cds dont ask me why.

[RNR]

^you will fit in very nicely here :thumb:

[Badmoon]

Old & In The Way,

Yes!! Wonderful band.

are banjos similar to play compared with guitars?

DVG.

To a minor degree. For instance you usually finger pick, and some use finger picks some don't. The banjo also many choices of strings 4-12, I believ. I have a 5 string. So, there are not huge difference but enough to say there are, and enough for a musician to be good at the guitar but bad at the Banjo.

[Badmoon]

Yess, Yess!! Welcome to the Rock & Metal exclusive Classic Rock cult.

[Amit]

When I'm not listening to fusion, classical rock is being played in my mp3 cd player...

Modern rock just lacks something when compared to Zep or Floyd.

[RNR]

Yess, Yess!! Welcome to the Rock & Metal exclusive Classic Rock cult.


Hey maybe we should start a sort of classic rock clan like the titans of thrash.

[Badmoon]

Yes it will have to be exclusive, which would mean it can only so far be the following. Me, You(RnotR), Frail, Bonzo, and Vodoochild, because we are the regulars.

They will have to agree and then someone should come up with a name.

[mikethegr81]

yeah teenagers are listening to it alot more now. because of bands like the darkness are trying to like bring it back and get metal rule the world again

remember kids burn em all

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Ok, im a Queen freak...i probley listen a full Queen album at least once a day. what albums and songs by them do you guys like....if you need any suggestions just ask! Also, what band member do you think writes some of their best work...my pick is John Deacon.

[Dave de Sylvia]

in my school, nu-metal seems to be the fad going around, unfortunatly

Wow, that's so, like, yesterday...

What year is your school living in, 1999? Nu metal is gone.

Someone mentioned the James Gang, I have their song Funk 49(I think?) from the Forced Listening thread... rest assured Ive minidisced it and what a song! Any more recommendations?

I saw the Hollies last month, they have a different singer now who annoys the hell ot of me. Some good songs tho..

[nubtub]

what about Bob Dylan. It's more folk rock, but calssic rock nonetheless. That guy can jam on the harmonica...

[VoodooChild]

Hey maybe we should start a sort of classic rock clan like the titans of thrash.
/me gasps. That's a uber-cool idea.

what about Bob Dylan. It's more folk rock, but calssic rock nonetheless. That guy can jam on the harmonica...
Ah, Bob Dylan. I consider him as one of the greatest musicians ever. He has contributed so much to music and a lot of bands/musicians wouldn't have been the same without him, i.e Beatles. His voice was amazing and unique as was his harp and guitar playing. His song-writing skills were undescribeable(sp?). Overall he was jsut an amazing person in the music world. I'm a BIG BIG BIG fan of his and I think everybody is thankful of what he brought to us, the listeners. Bob Dylan, God bless you.

[RNR]

what about Bob Dylan. It's more folk rock, but calssic rock nonetheless. That guy can jam on the harmonica...

We have talked about him in this thread. I love him, he's such a great songwriter.

[B0nz0]

a clan would be awesome. i can't think of a cool sounding name though.

i agree with voodoochild, bob dylan was uber talented. his talents for arrangement never cease to amaze me, and he can even sing when he wants to, like on the hurricane...great song!

[B0nz0]

hey rocknotroll, i just realized where ur name is from! and why it took this long i have no clue, but i think it's from the line in stairway, "to be a rock and not to roll" correct me if i'm wrong, but if i'm right that's an awesome origin. if anyone gets an idea for a clan name just throw em in.

what would be your favorite dylan songs? i love the hurricane, like a rolling stone, just like a woman, leopard skin pillbox hat, and rainy day woman #12 and 35.

my favorite albums would be either highway 61 or blonde on blonde.

[RNR]

Congrads.... *hands you a ribbon*. First person to get it :thumb:

*is still thinking of a name* It can't be anything uber cheesey like titans of classic rock or anything.

[B0nz0]

YES i am a genius!

so who here is a sly stone fan? i love everyday people, thank you fallettineme be mice elf agin, stand, m'lady, i want to take you higher, and you can make it if you try. that's some great upbeat music there. i just listen to him and i'm happy.

o and i forgot hot fun in the summertime, silly me

[VoodooChild]

*is still thinking of a name* It can't be anything uber cheesey like titans of classic rock or anything.

Eureka!!!! How about "The Titans of the Rock that is Classic"







































No, that sucks a lot.

[B0nz0]

lol but we're all in on this right?

[VoodooChild]

Umm yes... Anyhow I think I thought up of good name. "MX Band of Gypsies" How bout it fellers. Hendrix's second rhythm section. I think it's alright.

[RNR]

I like it. That's all we have for right now. Once we think of more names we can put it to a vote.

[VoodooChild]

Here's some more names I came up with(some (or all) of them might be really cheesy):
"MX Lizard Kings"
"MX Children of (the) Floyd"
"MX Warlocks"
"MX Old & In The Way"
"MX Midnight Riders"
"MX Jokers"
"MX Day Trippers"
"MX make something up too cause all of mine suck probably"

[RNR]

:lol:

"mx old farts"
"mx classic kids" (might work with a bit of a tweak)
"mx Woodstockers"
"mx classic rock horde* (nah but it's worth throwing in)

Why can't we be a death metal clan? We would already have something along the lines of "mx death mongers" or some foolishness like that.

[Badmoon]

Someone mentioned the James Gang, I have their song Funk 49(I think?) from the Forced Listening thread... rest assured Ive minidisced it and what a song! Any more recommendations?

Yeah, you probably did that off of my recomendation.



my favorite albums would be either highway 61 or blonde on blonde.

Good picks :thumb:, but I don't see why everyone loves Highway 61 Revisited, I just think it is okay.

Bring it all Back Home not that's were it's at.

[Badmoon]

"MX Day Trippers"
"MX Midnight Riders"Those are good ones.

[RNR]

Exactly, no bands names. If we have something like Children of (the) Floyd everybody's favorite band would hae to be pink floyd.

[B0nz0]

so i know many of u prob don't share my opinion on this, but i love motown. for some reason i just love that sound. particularly marvin gaye, the temptations, the four tops, smokey robinson and the miracles, and of course stevie wonder.

as for names, yea lose the mx. here's a few of my bad ones, yea i just took random songs

Uncle John's Band (from the dead song, duh)
Strange Brew (the cream song)
Traveling Band (the ccr song)
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (my favorite one)
Riders on the Storm (the doors song)

[VoodooChild]

Overall it's just hard to pick a good name for our clan. The titans of thrash have it easy. Their clan is Slayer, Metallica, Dream Theater, and Megadeth(i'm pretty sure). For us it's hard because classic rock is diverse. But thanks for liking my suggestions anyway. and I would like to re-submit "The Titans of Rock that is Classic" How can you NOT like it?!?!?! :lol:

[B0nz0]

i like day trippers, sgt pepper's lonely heart's club band, band of gypsies, uncle john's band, riders on the storm best. i like midnight riders, but riders on the storm i like better
my favorite is still sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band, followed by riders on the storm and band of gypsies

but then i'm biased cuz most of those were my choices :thumb:

[VoodooChild]

coughthetitansofrockthatisclassiccough

[B0nz0]

no no, let's not copy the silly metal heads

[RNR]

We need something that will represent all of class rock. No band names and nothing lame.

We will be here all day thinking of it :(

[VoodooChild]

I just wanted to mock them a wee bit. hehe

On a side note: Bonzo, you created this thread right? You should edit it and make a poll with all the choises we submited then we can all vote on what we like. Wait... I'm stupid. Then anyone can vote and screw us up. OK. WHO WANT'S TO MAKE A TABLE WITH ALL OF THE CHOISES WE TALKED ABOUT. THEN THE 5(i think) OF US CAN JSUT TALK AOBUT IT AND VOTE. IF NO ONE CALLS IT IN A BIT I'LL DO IT.

[B0nz0]

i still like sgt. pepper's, and everyone here likes the beatles.

and riders on the storm and band of gypsies sound really cool too. and i think everyone here likes hendrix and the doors...

edit:: sorry voodoo didn't see your post before i posted

[Badmoon]

Cumberland miners :wink:

I'd say Maggie's Farmers but that is already someones username.

[Badmoon]

Wait


Everyone name what state you live in

EDIT: Nevermind that idea is irrelivant

[B0nz0]

NY, why?
edit:: you have to say that after i post?

[Badmoon]

^ for instance The MC5 is short for the Motor City 5. I figured if we were all from the midwest than we could do the MW5 or whatever.

[B0nz0]

o ok, well i still am sticking to my already named top 3. why doesn't everyone pick their top 3 and we can put just those to vote.

then we eliminate having to look at a lot of the bad ones.

[VoodooChild]

"MX Band of Gypsies"
"MX Lizard Kings"
"MX Midnight Riders"
"MX Day Trippers"
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

I think these are the only one's we like. Go ahead and tweek them and vote but we gotta eliminate them one by one untill we get one we like.

EDIT: Badmoon did better than me, look at his. :evil:

[Badmoon]

we all need to get the same cool avatar too, or at least classic rock avatars

[RNR]

Fathers of time!

[Badmoon]

We shouldn't use a band name nor an album name because then when we put it under our username people won't understnad, they won't think anything of it.

[Badmoon]

we all need to get the same cool avatar too, or at least classic rock avatars

Each has to be different but resemble one another.

[Badmoon]

Lets get a name involving Penny Lane.

Like Penny Lane's 5 wives :lol:

Alice's psychedelic 5

[VoodooChild]

We shouldn't use a band name nor an album name because then when we put it under our username people won't understnad, they won't think anything of it.

I have no idea then.

[B0nz0]

band of gypsies, riders on the storm, midnight riders, and uncle john's band seem to be doing well

[Badmoon]

I have no idea then.
Well I mean like a well known band name or album we should not use.

[VoodooChild]

I don't know about you guys but my ultimate and final choice is "MX Band of Gypsies" with or without MX.

[Badmoon]

Lady Jane's Courtsman

or Penny Lane's Courtsman.

or The Fathers of Time

my choices.

[B0nz0]

I don't know about you guys but my ultimate and final choice is "MX Band of Gypsies" with or without MX.

i'd go along with that

[RNR]

I like fathers of time. Since classic rock is timeless that would be great. Or is this some band that nobody has ever heard of?

[B0nz0]

oo "friends of the devil" would be cool

edit: sorry i even suggested a new one, i was just listening to the song and rembered how awesome it is

[VoodooChild]

Fathers of Time is nice.

[B0nz0]

Fathers of Time is nice.

what is that from?

[RNR]

what is that from?

I want that to be it unless it's a band, album song etc....

[Badmoon]

That's original bitch ;)

[Badmoon]

So, it's officialized

The Fathers of Time secret cult

[VoodooChild]

oo "friends of the devil" would be cool

Sadly not everyione is a Dead fan. But just to make it fun:
"The Eyes of the World"
"Deadheads R Us"
"Franklin Tower's Warlocks"
"The Other Ones"

[RNR]

So, it's officialized

The Fathers of Time secret cult

Officialized? :confused:

Well anyway w00t we have our name!

[VoodooChild]

So, it's officialized

The Fathers of Time secret cult

Woah, ok... So what should we put under our names and what avatars should we have.

[Badmoon]

Alice D. Millionaire's psychedelics

[Badmoon]

I'll find a good avatar or a few that resemble each other.

[B0nz0]

lol i'm not really a dead head, i only have a greatest hits album, and i have a feeling that badmoon would smack me for that, but i like dead heads r us lol. i'd go with fathers of time or band of gypsies

Edit: whoops didn't see the other posts. ok lets go with fathers of time.

[VoodooChild]

hehe Good choice. I still think we should add MX. Then everyone will really know we are a cult/clan whatever

[Badmoon]

lol i'm not really a dead head, i only have a greatest hits album, and i have a feeling that badmoon would smack me for that, but i like dead heads r us lol. i'd go with fathers of time or band of gypsies

I agree.

"MX Fathers Of Time Clan"

Check out that site

Some of my former avatars use to be from there so lets not take any that I had. If you need one made into a smaller form ask me and I'll help you.

www.Architomic.com

there are some okay ones on there.

[VoodooChild]

EDIT: Forget it. "MX Fathers of Time" it is. :thumb:

[B0nz0]

i'll go with either. personally i like band of gypsies better, but whatever.

[RNR]

Good god all three of us have different titles. What should it be? I think it should be "MX Fathers of time clan".

How about this http://www.twochickies.com/van.gif

I'm gonna go. Peace guys.

How about we do something with 60's concert posters

For instance

I like it. But that may not be quite right.

I like the van but let's remember that classic rockers and hippys are different.

Rats there goes a big pot leaf or a peace symbol :(

[Badmoon]

^ Come on... Pot is for all.

[RNR]

I agree :smoke:

But that wouldn't be right for the clan avatar.

[B0nz0]

no specific bands i think
we should find something that represents all

[B0nz0]

how bout a woodstock poster then

[Badmoon]

Maybe

[RNR]

I just got the "Jimi plays Berkely" Jimi Hendrix dvd and... It's amazing! like 2 hours worth of flawless live Hendrix. I wish I was alive when he was alive so I could see him in concert :(.

Well anyway main thing is he rocks live. I'm going to try and see the Allman brothers band because it might be the closest I could ever get to Hendrix (guitar wise anyway).

:thumb: :D

[B0nz0]

the allmans are amazing live, but i already gushed about that concert 3 times on this thread so i'm not gonna do it again.

[B0nz0]

lol we've kept it alive for almost 500 posts though.

EDIT: i don't think we're gonna get any new ones, no1 wants to try to read 23 pages.

You should try to find Jimi live at Monetery Pop. That is also fabulous. I have yet to see the Allman Brothers, but I hope to soon. They have two of the greatest guitarists. Duane Allman(dead), and Dickey Betts, who is very underrated.

nah, i already buried my "Mx circle of bards" power metal cult that we had for a few months, i think ill ride solo for awhile :thumb: ill be an outsider that has close ties with the classic rock clan :) hehe

[Badmoon]

This is completley irrelevant but do any of you know the link to the MX picture site?

[VoodooChild]

Sorry, I don't know the link. Anyway, on the avatar subject. Since the other clan have that baphomet star or whatever it's called for their avatars, we should have something like this. http://www.erowid.org/culture/show_image.php3?i=art/artists_d/delin_flowerpower.jpg

I dunno about you guys but I love it! :thumbsup:

Oh, by the way. Frail, it's cool that you're gonna stay solo but still remain a close friend. Being the Long Hair King is just as good.

[Badmoon]

^ Please describe and share your experiences

[VoodooChild]

The whole thing or just some highlights?

[Badmoon]

Whole thing I may want to try it later

[VoodooChild]

You're thinking about try acid? If you're gonna do it I suggest you do a lot of research on it like me. It helps a lot because you feel more preppared for what's about to come.

[RNR]

If you have done pot don't do acid. Why you ask? Because you are most likely too lazy to do the research :p

[Badmoon]

I habe read most of that site awhile ago

I've done pot, and I'm in my youth, me no lazy.

[VoodooChild]

Well, anyway I guess I'll start. It all happened at the begining of last summer. Some of this is sketchy since it happened a while ago but bare with me. Me and my firend Blake are the ones who were going to do this. He got 4 tabs of blotter acid from one of his friends and were gonna do it ona weekend at his house. His sisters and mom were gonna be gone the whole day so it was perfect. I remember it was a really nicee day outside and we planned on goin outside when we got bored with stuf do do inside. We took one hit of acid each and thennwent up stairs to watch tv. i can't remember what was on. Anyway nothing happened for a while, i think it was about 40 minutes since we took the acid and nothing was happenin yet. We did'nt think nothing of it so we went downstairs and started playing ps2. i remember the game. itwas gran turismo. very fun racing game. i recomend it. So we were walking down the stairs and i swear I jsut started feeling different. Nothing major but jsut different. It was cool. We were playing for a few minutes and then I looked at blake from the corner of my eye to tell him this was getting boring but when i looked at him it was like he wasent there and then he appered a second later. His body was jsut flickering in and out of my vision but as soon as I turned my head to look at him fully nothing was happening. I tapped him on the shoulder to tell him about what just happened and he looked at me and just started starring. He said he could see a glow coming from me. I can't remember what collor he said it was but he said there was a certain glow surronding my body. I tried to concetrate and look at him but nothing was happenin. So we continued to play the game but nothing interesting happened wit the game. We turned it off and started walking around the house to see if we could make something "come out". We went back up stairs to the family room and started looking around. A big painting of some fruits caught my eye. This is where everythign got weird. I looked at one of the fruits and I saw it jerk. First it was a small jerk and then it started rolling adn it rolled out of the picture. I tried picking it up but it kept rolling away and i couldent catch it. It got out of my vision and I gave up. For some reason I started feeling very very sad because I failed at catching the fruit. I needed blake around because i felt so lonely. I started yelling for him to come and he ran over. When he got close to me I started feeling a lot better. This undecribeable feeling I had earlier became more intense and I felt more attached to everything around me. I felt like i was conected to evrything arround me and I could relate to everything. It was an encredible feeling. We went downstairs again and turned on some music. I think it might of been pink floyd and zeppelin. Im not sure.. We both layed down on the floor and we started talking. we talked about our friendship and it was a trully bonding expiriance. As a little more time passed I look at the cieling carrefully and I saw something. The ceiling had little barely noticible riple goin thru it. And it was goin with the beat of the music. I asked blake to turn up the music but he said he couldent go with out me. i felt the same way. We both steppe up and turned the music lounder. We went back and layed down on the same place. I looked up at the ceiling again and the ripple were bigger. I asked Blake if he could see it too but he dident answer. I knew he was still there and really into it. I dident wana bother him. I kept looking at the ceiling and I tried to control the patterns. I tried closing my eyes and I could still se the ceiling. It was amazing. I was closing my eyes and i was controling the ceiling. I concentrated and imadined it into a beutiful sunset and I was amazed by it. The CD ended in what seemed like 15 hours and it was one of the greatest times of my life. I asked Blake if he wanted to come outside with me. We went into his back yard and sat down. We dident like it for some reason to we went up on his porch. We got relaxed on his lawn chairs and we started talking again. His back yard is bassically a field of grass almost footbal field size. I was looking at the field and an incredible thing happened. The grass was weiving back and forth by the wind but it was weiving into shapes an letters. I looked at one of the desighns and i oicked out my name. I felt very good inside and felt eve more connected now. I was still looking at the grass and now it stopped getting turned left and right by the wind. It started growing. I told Blake if he saw this and he said he did. We both stood up and watched the grass grow. It was begging to take shape into something and we were waiting right there. It started turnig into steps that led into the sky. It was incredible becasue we were listening to zepplein earlier. maybe stair way to heaven made way deep inside out minds somehow. We both ran back down strairs becasue we wanted to go up to the sky to heaven. when we got on his yard again everything was gone. The grass was normall again. We felt so robbed. We just felt incedibly sad and incomplete because we missed this chance. After this it gets hazy. I remember we went inside and turned on the tv again i think. Then we both got extreamly tired and we fell asleep. I cant remember anything but waking up the next morning. We both felt normal and we went on to eat breakfest and to talk about our expiriances. I never got to finish those two other tabs with balke because he did it with another friend. I wasent mad tho. Me and him are planning to do it again this summer once or twice. Well, this is my story. This is how it happened and I'm trying to tell it as good as I can. A lot of the story is sketchy because this happend almost a year ago. Go ahead now, ask me questions or whatever.

Fabulous story Voodoo.


See I'm worried if I do it, they say you can get a "Bad Trip", and being that you are extremely sensetive I'm scared that it would completley freak me out. Anyway to avaod that stuff?

[VoodooChild]

Plan like crazzzzzy. Make sure you do it in a safe place like your house. Your first time you want to do it in a quiet, relaxing place. Make sure while your tripping your parents or whoever you don't want home aren't gonna come home. It helps a lot if you have a sitter: A non-tripping person that could reasure you everything is alright if you're freaking out. If your gonna put on music make sure it's peaceful and relaxing, not like Slayer or something. Stay inside or in the back yard if you want to not freak out. People sometime sget freakde out by traffic or some suspicios adults outside. That's why me and Blake stayed in his back yard. Just use common sence if you go thru with this. You'll be fine.

i'm glad classic rock is coming back. music then was well planned and thought out. today, songs are pumped out by the minute, and their all crap.

bands i listen to
beatles by far the most innovative
led zep
ccr
rolling stones
le doors and oh i forget

[StreetlightRock]

lol, Voodoo, just lucky you didnt chace that fruit over the balcony or something, lol. Thats sounds really cool, like a dream while you're awake. anyway, that idea for a classic rock clan is awsome!

DVG.

[B0nz0]

badmoon and voodoo and rocknotroll, should we let others into our crazy clan?

[VoodooChild]

DVG looks like the only other person that thinks this is a good idea and might want to join. Nobody else besides us ever visits the thread. (for some odd reason)

On a side note: Should out avatars be Timothy Leary. I think it'd be cool.

[B0nz0]

since there's only four of us, why don't we pick a classic rock quartet like the beatles or the who, or i guess we could even do csn&y and each pick a different member, and put that member's face as our avatar.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Oh, by the way. Frail, it's cool that you're gonna stay solo but still remain a close friend. Being the Long Hair King is just as good.

**** right hehe.

by the way, no one replied to my Queen question i asked a few pages ago!! i asked what Queen songs and albums you all enjoyed. also, which member wrote some of your favourite songs, i picked John Deacon for tracks like "who needs you" and "spread your wings".

[RNR]

I seriously need to get into queen more. I have heard very little from them and I feel like i'm missing something.

Song requests please.
