Classic Rock

[Spectrum]

You annoy me. Lighten up its the internet.

Sorry. I have a little bit of a neurotic tendecy towards perfectionism, and I can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. I freely admit it. Mostly, I really don't mean anything mean by a lot of what I say. Still, I am working on it.

I'll try to lighten up a bit. Sorry, Bro. :thumb:

No negativity in the Classic Rock thread unless needed. Me and RocknotRoll learned that the hard way :(

I'm probably going to see Jethro Tull! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Indeed.


The classic rock isn't a harsh place. That's not what classic rock is about. If somebody says something you don't like, calmly debate it.

Very sorry, gentlemen. Not trying to be negative, just neurotically perfect. :rolleyes:

Blargh.

He used to be able to sing, man.

No he didn't. But that's fine.

He has an all right voice. I like it. He was just a brilliant songwriter. His songs sounded good and had meaning.

[Spectrum]

Well, since you put it that way, he never really had a great voice. It just sounded a hell of a lot better in the 60's. I respect Dylan highly and agree with you totally. I was just making a harmless joke.

I asked this before, but, does "Rush" count as Classic Rock?

-Mike

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Yeh, it does.

I'm not sure anyone cares, but in my thread Thinking About a New Guitar...

I've decided on an Ibanez Artcore AXD71BK.

I played it at the shop and it was beautiful. Matched my style exactly.

Yes, Rush is classic rock.

[Spectrum]

Okay, so Rush counts. How the Hell does he sing that way?

[RNR]

Step 1. Take Knife.

Step 2. Put testicles on cutting board.

Step 3. :amaze: You know what to do.

Sorry if that was a little graphic but it's my best guess.

[Against Miik!]

:Ouch face:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

So, the guy who sings for Rush is a eunuch? Strange...

[Spectrum]

It was interesting to listen to that guy sing. Later on, I was at a friend's house, and a Coheed & Cambria song comes on. The guy sounds almost exactly the same, and is singing in the same range. Seriously, the similarity of the two singers is a little strange.

Possibly not though...

As I was being driven home (five days, man...), a Linkin Park song came on the radio (I tolerated). Interesting to note that as the guy was hitting notes that guys normally don't hit, I began to notice that his voice took on similar traits in tone as the guys from Rush and Coheed & Cambria. I think it might be something of a technique to get a voice that high that requires a higher voice to start and is somewhat standardized amongst some artist who choose to sing higher.

Just a thought.

-Mike

[RNR]

It's falsetto singing methinks.... Mehopes :eek:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

That would be frightful if it was his real voice.

[Spectrum]

It's falsetto singing methinks.... Mehopes :eek:
After being a member of Chorus and Chamber Singers and having to sing tenor in falsetto and listen to it, I really don't think that's falsetto. I have a friend who has the biggest guy range ever - low bass to high soprano. Not kidding. This guy has pulled off high Cs that sopranos have a hard time with. Chrissakes, he sang the girl's part in "Phantom of the Opera"! Hearing him sing in his falsetto range equivalent to the Rush and Coheed & Cambria guys, I think they're in the natural voice. :eek:

Yipes!

I like. Nice looking, and you can't go wrong with an F hole. I want a semi-hollow like a sheraton or something, but they're too expensive. Probably going to get an OLP MM1. I need a second guitar because I'm too lazy to change tunings.

[Paranoidd]

What the Hell.

Yeah Paranoid should get an avatar.......Lou Reed Mabye

Yes that does sound like a good idea.

Unfortunately, I have no clue how to work these newfangled image program thingys...all you kids these days seem to know more about computers then us old folk.

By the way, the next person hating on Geddy Lee's voice will be ritualistically executed, by me.

Now playing: Pink Floyd - Echoes. 17:02+ = audio ecstasy.

Well, it was pertainent to the subject. I mean, it's not like I was bringing the bands up without a relevant, meaningful contribution to the Classic Rock thought at hand. I will, however, refrain from bringing them up again.

Get Santana to clean it. Isn't one of his albums entitled "Shaman"? And I believe he has a hand in "Supernatural" things anyway.

[StreetlightRock]

About Brooker T and the MGs, anyone heard the Blues Brothers cover of Green Onions? It absolutely kicks a'ss.

DVG.

[Broken Arrow]

He only got one song Like a Rolling Stone but it was pretty high.

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah, Duck is on there a lot.

No. How would you describe them?

Find a picture on google and save it to your documents, go to EDIT AVATAR. Press the BROWSE button and search for it in your documents or where ever you saved the picture. The picture can only be 70 x 70, so if you need me to shrink it, just ask.

[Badmoon]

No. How would you describe them?

Country Rock. A couple members of The Grateful Dead started them just to play Countryish stuff, but then the other members kind of kept it going and made it their own band.

[Broken Arrow]

I shrink mine using paint.

[Badmoon]

It's 99% easier/quicker/more accurate by doing it with photoshop.

[Woodstock]

I don't have Photoshop. But I do have Paint.

[Broken Arrow]

Paint is so easy and better tham photoshop.

[Broken Arrow]

Anyone like Footbal and is watching the game tonight?

NFL>CFL

[Badmoon]

Paint is so easy and better tham photoshop.

:lol: Look at the tools. That was a silly statment.

[thickasabrick]

photoshop is better, nfl is better

/doesnt do computer stuff or listen to football

can we please talk about classic rock because i dont know much about computer stuff

[RNR]

What's a good Talking Heads album to get? I have "fear of music". But i'd like others.

[Badmoon]

The turqoise album. :)

[lunch998]

Yea man I love the NFL. I don't like the Patriots though.

[Woodstock]

OK, how bout some music talk?

[Broken Arrow]

Ok how about some Stones?

[Woodstock]

Anyone have Sticky Fingers? I'm going to buy it in a few days.

[Broken Arrow]

No.....I want it though............acctually...............no I definatley don't have it.

[Woodstock]

It looks great. Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Cant You Hear Me Knockin' are all great songs.

[Broken Arrow]

Smypathy for the Devil>All other Stones Songs

[Woodstock]

It's great. But they have a huge number of great songs, like they were the 2nd Beatles.

[guitarman3089]

pink floyd is awesome

[Woodstock]

Gimme Shelter is awesome too, anyone else like that one?

It's a great.

Have we ever considered asking the mods to sticky this thread?

[Maggot Dream]

Finally someone suggests that, this threads been big for a while now

[StreetlightRock]

I dont think they would, cause the'd the metallica guys would prolly go nuts, and then so would all the other official threads.

DVG.

[Maggot Dream]

lol.....too true

[MalcolmYoungRock]

About the Ibanez...

It costs about 350 dollars, so its in my price range. Sad thing is, my parents are gonna wait till christmas...

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Anyway, my first day of high school was today and it OWNED.

After school, I get to do anything I want!!!

I take the bus home so when I wanna go home I just take the city bus.

Anyway since me and my friend had nothing to do, we went to my middle school and got her sister and walked back and had lunch at Volcano Burger. Twas too fun.

I know that was beside the point of this whole thread, but I wanted to post it somewhere without making a spam thread and having a bunch of Aug 04'ers telling me to "STFU WHO CARES NOOB".

You know, I'm an August 04'er.

[magicbus]

What's Volcano Burger?

[Woodstock]

Probably some fast food line.

[magicbus]

None near Detroit.

[Woodstock]

None near Toledo. I'm an hour away from you.

Anyways, Echoes by Pink Floyd and 1983(A Merman I Should Turn To Be) by Jimi Hendrix. Two of my current favorite songs, havent listened to them in like a year, but I have a new love for them.

[RockAndRoll]

ah I can't wait to start working so i can buy more cd's/drum stuff! I only wish I could work with my headphones on.

[lunch998]

ah I can't wait to start working so i can buy more cd's/drum stuff! I only wish I could work with my headphones on.

That's what I spend all the money from my job on. You can never have enough CD's or Drum stuff.

[RockAndRoll]

That's what I spend all the money from my job on. You can never have enough CD's or Drum stuff.
I mostly just want to upgrade my stuff right now. Ya, I start work in a few days. I don't like kazaa at all anymore though, I haven't used it in quite a while I'm hoping to eventually have all that stuff on CD.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Its just a burger place. Theres only one. Its not a chain i think...

[magicbus]

I spend a lot of my money from work on cds and movies. Soon I'll be spending it on a new guitar :thumb:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

You know, I'm an August 04'er.


I meant the retarded august and september 04'ers

[lunch998]

It's something about me now where I like to have the actual CD, not downloaded or a burned copy. I like having the cover and the artwork and all.

[Badmoon]

ah I can't wait to start working so i can buy more cd's/drum stuff! I only wish I could work with my headphones on.

I mow lawns for my money ;) , and find a lot on the school floors ;) x2


And I of course buy CD's, and sometimes I'll be risky and buy a double disc when I have the money instead of buying two different CD's :D


I live a sad life.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Yes you do Badmoon. Yes you do.

Just kidding.

I used to mow lawns. Until I got sick of it.

The fricking kids at my school are like penny pinchers.

They're like OMG A DOLLAR then everybody kills each other for it.

Its so hard to get money :upset:

[RockAndRoll]

I shovel driveways in the winter, I enjoy because it pays well for how long you work and you can listen to music while doing it.

[Badmoon]

^Me too. I work with a shovel so they realize I'm actually working hard, not like those snow blower fags. Plus I don't have a snow blower :(

[magicbus]

Yea I like owning the cds. Respect to the band too.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

And the bands get the money they deserve

I burned led zeppelin II :upset:

[Badmoon]

Yea, I have about 300 now.

[RockAndRoll]

^Me too. I work with a shovel so they realize I'm actually working hard, not like those snow blower fags. Plus I don't have a snow blower :(
Ya I am lacking in the snow blower department. Which can really suck when you've got a few feet of snow on the driveway.

Yea, I have about 300 now.
*is green with envy*

[PinkFreud]

ah man. in one of my classes we took this survey and evaluated how much time we spend on media and how much money. mine was sad. 42 hours a week and 75 dollars a month. ****.

[¿ Zed Leppelin ?]

Wow I'm glad to see that so many people are into classic rock, this thread never dies. Most kinds of music are just trends and people eventually get over it, but classic rock is discovered by every generation and is still popular 30 years later.

[Badmoon]

I've worked hard ;)

I can send you some online :)

Ok, I will revive the thread with:

Anyone have a question about Bob Dylan that you think I won't get cause it could be fun... mainly for me.

[magicbus]

I have the greatest hits for both Cream and The Doors. But no albums.

[RNR]

I have 6 doors greatsst hits albums.



No I have 2 :( But they sure do have a lot of them.

[Mankind_]

i've got lots of band's greatest hits, and no other albums. i just don't think it's worth buying all their albums once you have a good GH album. i'm not really into the collecting of all of a band's albums.

The Doors tour is coming this weeked.

I say its not worth it if Morrison isn't there.

But, they say that other guy is good too....

Yea that didn't make any sense. And I already play guitar. Like I meant, makes me want to go play now. So I will. :thumb:

Wow. That was gay.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

i didnt know they still toured. i wish led zeppelin would get off their sorry asses, suck it up, and get a new god **** drummer.

Its not because they don't want to get up and start playing again.

They think that if they start playing, the magic wont be the same without Bonham back there. I'm pretty sure nobody can come close to imitating John Bonhams style.

So, its not really like they don't want to get off their asses or anything..

[jpj]

^Kindness bitch
sorry, its just not fair. i wish i was born in 1955

But its also got a fuzz box buying guide, Van Halen poster, Jam tricks from the Phish guy (which is pentatonic and modes so it intrigued me), a few other cool articles too.

[lueddude]

The next ridiculous metal will be country metal.

Satan sent me to farm

and the ever so popular

I killed all my livestock to appease Satan.

What the hell is wrong with people? Who actually likes "gore metal"? That's retarded.


So i've been thinking, I either pay $120 to a see bunch of burned out, brain-dead sammy hagar song playing hacks (Van Halen) or buy some cds.

[Broken Arrow]

I saw Van Halen but it wasn't worth that much. And i had decent seats.

[jpj]

So i've been thinking, I either pay $120 to a see bunch of burned out, brain-dead sammy hagar song playing hacks (Van Halen) or buy some cds.
my dad saw them this year, and he said they were awesome. they played songs from the roth and hagar days. he also said there wasn't any "van hagar", which im assuming means they didnt play any of hagar's solo songs

[Broken Arrow]

No Sammy did one of his own songs while the other band members were taking a break.

Everyone Soloed by the way.

[lunch998]

I was talking to my Dad for awhile about classic rock. He was born in 1952, pretty much perfect timing to catch just about everything. He brags about it to me. I wish I was that lucky.

[Broken Arrow]

What bands did he see?

[lunch998]

He saw a lot of good stuff. He grew up in northern New Jersey, very close to New York city. So he could get to the Fillmore east really easily and see whoever was there. He never saw the huge bands,except for the Who and the Grateful Dead, but he was really into things like Jethro Tull, Procol Harum, Traffic, Moby Grape,Ten Years After, and Argent. He saw the Dead one time when they played a 10:30 show until the place closed at 5 in the morning, and then they set up in the street outside and played until the cops busted it up.

He also loves the Syd Barret Pink Floyd stuff, but he doesn't care much for the later stuff.

i have to say you all forgot one of the best classic rock bands ever STYX there show this summer was far suppior to lynard skynard but hey dont get me wrong they ruled just styx is the ****e

[Broken Arrow]

He saw a lot of good stuff. He grew up in northern New Jersey, very close to New York city. So he could get to the Fillmore east really easily and see whoever was there. He never saw the huge bands,except for the Who and the Grateful Dead, but he was really into things like Jethro Tull, Procol Harum, Traffic, Moby Grape,Ten Years After, and Argent. He saw the Dead one time when they played a 10:30 show until the place closed at 5 in the morning, and then they set up in the street outside and played until the cops busted it up.

He also loves the Syd Barret Pink Floyd stuff, but he doesn't care much for the later stuff.
Awesome I like all Floyd except their newer stuff after Waters left(he just turned 60.)

[Broken Arrow]

That Garcia sure liked to play.

[Broken Arrow]

I may be banned tonight so farewell. :(

Neil Young foreverrrrrr. (I'll be back)

[MarmaladeSkyys]

i just thought id comment on this real quick, Skynyrd is one of the greatest bands of all time, and styx....uhhh well, not so great

[lunch998]

Yea same here. Why might you be banned?

[RNR]

Neil Young foreverrrrrr. (I'll be back)

For what?

[Broken Arrow]

Oh just alot people said I would.

Spamming. :wave:

[RNR]

Meh, you wont get banned for spamming. If you do, i'm umm, gonna do something, like, umm, really bad! :angry:

[lunch998]

Ha you shouldn't do that so much.

But anyways, does anyone like Traffic? I think Stevie Winwood is amazing, that guy played everything. Dear Mr. Fantasy is a great song also.

[lunch998]

[Mankind_]

can it be a past band?<--- nm, duh.
black sabbath-w/o ozzy

[RNR]

Jimi Hendrix Experience. Though a Mitch Mitchell experince might not be a bad listen.

Van Halen without eddie.

Grateful dead without garcia.

[Woodstock]

I'd give it a try. He's a spectacular snare player.

Fleetwood Mac without the Americans.

No, seriously, it was only after the former frontman left and Stevie Nicks and what's his face (can't think, it's late) joined that they became wildly popular and successful.

[Spectrum]

Rush without that guy who sings really high. It just wouldn't be the same. What's his name again?

[Mankind_]

Geddy Lee

[Woodstock]

Do you think Pink Floyd would have died out after Barrett left and if Gilmour didnt join?

[RNR]

Fleetwood Mac is awesome. I'll agree.


Ac/dc without Malcom. They could find somebody to solo like angus but Malcom writes most of the guitar parts.

[Spectrum]

Generalization: Any Eric Clapton project without Eric Clapton, such as Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, Eric Clapton (just kidding... or am I?)

[Spectrum]

Do you think Pink Floyd would have died out after Barrett left and if Gilmour didnt join?
It's possible. Didn't he have a mental breakdown, and every song since then (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a prime example) was about him?

[Woodstock]

Do you now realize how many bands would've never been without certain members?

I now have more respect for those people.

[lunch998]

Gee how bout the Doors without Jim Morrison.

Edit: Crap I didn't read all of the lists above.

[Badmoon]

Grateful dead without garcia.

Not true, they are still quite a band ;)

Journey w/o Steve Perry...i guess. is the singer thats with them now any good?

[Jom]

I'm big on Bob Seger and Kansas, but there's nothing wrong with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, etc.

[RNR]

Bob Seger is the single most underatted Singer in the histroy of rock and roll.


Not true, they are still quite a band ;)

They wouldn't be half as popular though. Still a good listen I bet :)

[RNR]

Guns 'n Roses w/o Axl Rose

Slash.

sorry to go off topic, but anyone here have that "History Of Rock 'N Roll" dvd that costs, like, $80? if so, is it worth the cash?

[Badmoon]

get it! It's free!

EDIT: To Rocknroll

[Mankind_]

ugh, not now, I'm too tired. I already have msn and yahoo(even though I have no contacts on yahoo).

oh. thought you were talking about the dvd...heh

[RockAndRoll]

Hey side note we finally wrote lyrics to our first song(yay)[my band]. We also recorded (video) a bunch of stuff we play, it was cool.

[Woodstock]

oh. thought you were talking about the dvd...heh

Yeah, I heard about it. Doesnt look worth the money, not endorsed by any bands so no real stuff.

[lunch998]

I thought the History of Rock N' Roll Dvd might be cool, but then I thought it would probably be just the most popular stuff about the popular bands in rock history. So that seems like it would be sort of cool, but probably not 80$ cool.

[Seafroggys]

The Who w/o Pete Townshend.

I was trying to think of The Beatles, but removing one member wouldn't honestly change much except you'd no longer have their type of song that they wrote. Now to me, that's a great band.

[Woodstock]

I knew the Beatles were invincible to the question :)

[RockAndRoll]

I wish there were modern music classes in school. Just not in such away that you've got your rock 101 class bursting at the seems. Something like the history of modern music (jazz, blues, soul, funk, rock, country, etc... ) and it would talk about how they all came to be and what they are.

[lunch998]

I don't know, if you took anyone away from The Who they wouldn't be the same at all. So it's hard to single out just Pete.

I actually beleive the beatles without lennon would be nowhere near what they were. I beleive he represented best the ideals that were an essential part of the group.

Easy. Crazy Horse without Neil Young.

[thickasabrick]

i actually think it was neil young with crazy horse, they were a band themselves, just with him out front.

[ledpepper]

holy ****, long thread. anyway, to the original question, it really depends what you call classic... like led's classic, but is hendrix??? i mean they where about the same time so technicaly it is...

i listen to mostly old stuff like led, gunsnroses, hendrix... but also some new **** such as rhcp and floggin molly

[billy_joe]

We don't have enough classic rock talk in R&M. Which is why I don't post here alot :thumb:

Pink floyd
The rolling stones.

Underatted singer, but overatted songwriter to me.

Yea he's overrated. He rhymes a lot of the same words together. A lot.

If Pink Floyd didn't get Gilmour after Syd, they might have gotten Jeff Beck, but it wouldn't be the same.

It might have been Battlefield Vietnam. My cousin has that game, a lot of the soundtrack is from the 60's. The title screen has Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. That is a cool song. :thumb:

[RockAndRoll]

White Rabbit's an awesome song.

[Spectrum]

White Rabbit's an awesome song.

Agreed. I believe The Blue Man Group actually covered that song recently.

Really.

I did also hear about the whole "Battlefield Vietnam" thing, and I think it's neat that a game finally has a good soundtrack.
