Classic Rock

[VoodooChild]

Bonzo - I'ts a pretty good idea but I'm not sure if it's gonna work. I don't think we have to be that uhh together? And if we get other people to join it wont work anymore. How about each of us puts an acronym of our favorite band by our clan name Ex. MX Fathers of Time (LZ) then put an avatar of the band or one of the members. But the avatar will be like this. First Slide: Trippy (or not) "MX Fathers of Time" logo comes up. Second Slide: Pic of your fav band or member of band. Now if we only got someone to make those avatars for us. ANYONE GOT GOOD GIF EDITING PROGRAM?

[RNR]

But B0nz0 and I both level zeppelin. How about i'm MX Fathers of Time (LZJP) led zeppelin Jimmy page. And B0nz0 can be LZJB John Bonham. That is unless you do't want to be LZ.

Think about it and then tell me.

[BillCosby]

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.

You're My Best Friend
Fat Bottomed Girls
Killer Queen
It's A Kind Of Magic
Stone Cold Crazy
Under Pressure (w/ David Bowie)

:thumb:

EDIT: Can I be an MX Father of Time?

[VoodooChild]

RnotR - Did you read my post?

Bill Crosby - I think you have to be a little more active in this thread before we can accept you. Well, i don't know what the other guys want to do. Wait till they post too.

[StreetlightRock]

ANYONE GOT GOOD GIF EDITING PROGRAM?

.....like photoshop?

DVG.

[VoodooChild]

I dunno, is photoshop capable of making an avatar liek then one I decribed?

[StreetlightRock]

yea-huh..... once you get the little logo thing going, heh

Think about it and then tell me.

ah don't worry about that, i was gonna try and take the beatles anyway.

EDIT: i like them better than lz

[VoodooChild]

DVG - Well, it doesn't have to be a logo really. Just MX Fathers of Time in cool writing. Then the persons favorite bands. I think if you make avatars for all of us you can be in the clan! That is if you want to be and it helps if you're really active in this thread. If you make an example of one avatar that be cool. For the secong slide you can use LZ or something.

B0nz0 - I still don't get what you and RnotR are talking about. Wana explain??

[RNR]

I thought since he has a zeppelin name that Zeppelin would be his favorite band so we could each be a member of Led Zeppelin. Then he said he wanted the beatles so problem solved.

:eek: Ok well thanks...

[VoodooChild]

Oh ok man. I get it now.

[Badmoon]

Nothing with Led Zeppelin, they are my one true hate.

csn&y

That's a good idea, we could each pick a member

If so I choose Stills, and then we could add Dallas Taylor, and Ben Greeves because they were unofficially part of the band also.

[VoodooChild]

Well, I was thinking that we should just choose whatever band we like. For example, Bonzo can choose beatles, RnotR can choose Zep, you can choose Who, I'll choose something else. Because if we start adding new people we won't be able to fit everyone into one band. And what do you think of my idea for the avatar. DVG said he could make them(i think).

[RNR]

I agree with voodoo. That's 2 votes for voodoo's idea.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

:eek: Ok well thanks...

if you want it broken down into albums let me know :)

[VoodooChild]

Something like this for the first slide but way cooler. :cool:

[RNR]

Maybe we can have one of those slideshow things and everybody gets to add their band to it. And we could use voodoochild's picture as the front of it.

[Badmoon]

^ Has that not been said already?

[VoodooChild]

That's not a bad idea. But were not gonna use my example for the first slide cause it sucks. It's only a rough draft sorta.

[VoodooChild]

^ Has that not been said already?


Yea, sorta. My first idead was use the first slide of the clan name and then only put your band in the second slide, not everyones combined. so yea.

[RNR]

Ok so should we use the whole slide show thing idea?

[VoodooChild]

Depends if anyone is up for making them. I'm still not sure if DVG is gonna do them.

[VoodooChild]

Well, what do ya think. Doesn't look too bad, eh. Now I just need a second slide.

[Badmoon]

^ Well, you need the other slides or it will be to plain.

[RNR]

Here's my slide.

Darn my internet noobingness. I can only use attachments. Meh.
Sorry it's 1 pixel too small, could somebody resize it please?

[Badmoon]

Can't we have more than just one, counting the cover?

[RNR]

Can't we have more than just one, counting the cover?


Good idea. Let's have a whole bunch of bands.

So far we have...

Led Zeppelin
The Who
Grateful Dead
The Beatles

Let's get a big list.

[VoodooChild]

This is what I would want for my avatar. First slide: Our name, Second slide: Dead logo

[RockAndRoll]

1. I suggest putting the fathers of time logo on the avatar in Olde English font.
2. I can't beleive it i have a busy week and i miss out on being in a classic rock clan.
3. Keep yourself alive, bohemian rhapsody, Radio Gaga, Under pressure, Fat bottom girls, Tie your mother down... i decided to keep it short since frail already mentioned alot.
4. Cat stevens... classic rock or folk rock? (i consider him both because i consider classic rock to include some folk rock).
5. Favourite (one, lets try to keep this short) band of gypsy's song? I'd say isabella.
6. Is it just me or do you find alot of classic rock lovers love more of the album then many modern music lovers? For example I like all my cd's through and through, I don't really have cd's where there's just one good song on it or a few good songs and a few crappy ones. Where as I know many modern music lovers that buy cd's that have a big hit or two on it and they don't even like the rest.

[Badmoon]

Cat stevens... classic rock or folk rock?

If you were to consider him folk, I'd say Pop Folk.

[VoodooChild]

1. I'll try. Thanks for the suggestion.
2. That sucks. We'll still be here thought.
3. Good choices.
4. I'm with moon. Pop-ish folk-ish rock.
5. Machine Gun.
6. That's very true. I can listen to all of my albums with out ever getting bored.

[RockAndRoll]

I wouldn't really call him all that pop-ish but i do see your point.

[StreetlightRock]

Cat stevens is just classic! And yea, ill do it... ill try make some other snazzy father of time thing as well, just guys, post your band pics as well, ill need them.

DVG.

[Badmoon]

I wouldn't really call him all that pop-ish but i do see your point.

As far as Folk goes, I'd say definatley.

[RNR]

Ok I have a bunch but most of them need to be resized. That should be no problem for one of you right?

[VoodooChild]

DVG - Thank you very extra much for making these. For my avatar look at the top of the page. I already posted the pics and stuff.

EDIT: Forget what I said. I'll post my new choices in a wee bit.

[RNR]

Oh and thanks dvg :thumb: You are welcome to join us if you want. (that is if everybody else is ok with it).

[VoodooChild]

RnotR - Are you gonna have all of those in your avatar?

[RNR]

I don't know. How many are we allowed to have?

[StreetlightRock]

*shrug*, don't matter, but just for athestics... give it a max of 5?

You are welcome to join us if you want.

rock on!

DVG.

[RNR]

Ok well that's my 5. Praise the well known and easy to become a fan of bands! :D

[VoodooChild]

Ok, these are the pictures that I want in my avatar. For the first slide use the MX Fathers of Time thing you were talking about. For the rest of the slides just use the pics that I gave you. You don't need to have all of them. Just use the ones that look and fit the best when they have been scaled down. The slides should stay for long enough so you can tell what it is then they can switch to the next one. If you know of better pictures of the band instead of mine go ahead and use them. Sorry for being so picky but I just want it to be cool. :p Again, thanks a million! :thumb:

[VoodooChild]

Oh, I just saw the new posts. Welcome to the clan DVG. It's good to have you!

[VoodooChild]

Remember guys, you still gotta add the accronim(sp?) for your favorite band by your name. Or if you don't want to don't do it. I'll remove mine too then. I like it though so maybe you will?

[StreetlightRock]

ok, got Voodos and Rnr's done, others guys? yes, ill give em to you as soon as i can, just need to find somewhere to host them...

Actually, ill put Voods on mine, just like a trial, whayyda think?

aw ****e, too big, im gonna have to kill some of those bands voodoo... ill try rnr.

Ack, voodoo, i cant decide which to get rid of, heh, so far i got LZ, Jimi, Greatful dead, Pink Flyod, Fank Z, the horse one, Eric and Bob D it, what do you want?

DVG.

[crusher]

That was a bloody long thread. I cant believe i read all of it.
I like all of the bands you guys listed and even found some i had never heard of.

So who got all of you guys intersted in classic rock?
For me it was my dad. Queen, beatles and stuff.

And would you guys consider Sky classic rock or classical rock stuff?

[StreetlightRock]

^The quest for better music than the crap on TV.

DVG.

[RNR]

Ok so the one that dvg has right now was going to be mine right? So i'm going to use that ok?

Thanks dvg :D

Edit: Any chance we can get it a bit slower?

[RNR]

I liked Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Ac/dc for a long time because those are really well known bands and it beat the hell out of what I listened to before. Then through my dad I got listening to The Allman Brothers, Neil young, Bob dylan, Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, The beatles, The who and anything else I could find. From mx I learned of a lot of great bands and i'm open to pretty much any classic rock now.

[StreetlightRock]

lol, yea, i was wondering about the speed, i was just playing around, thought it looked cool, yea, sure, ill make it slower.

DVG.

[VoodooChild]

Hey DVG, it looks nice so far. For my avatar just do this:
1st Slide - Logo Thing
2nd Slide - Grateful Dead
3rd Slide - Bob Dylan
4th Slide - Jimi Hendrix
5th Slide - Frank Zappa

You said 5 slides max, right? And don't make it as fast as the one you got right now. Make it slow enough so you can look and see what they are. :grin:

[RNR]

So when exactly are you going to make it slower?

[B0nz0]

OOO you guys got the avatars going?

[B0nz0]

1st slide: logo thing
2nd: The Beatles
3rd: Led Zeppelin
4th: The Doors
5th: The Who
EDIT: if those are choices, not sure wasn't here for 2 days

[B0nz0]

creedence got me into classic rock, the beatles clinched it.

[Badmoon]

1st slide: logo thing
2nd: The Beatles
3rd: Led Zeppelin
4th: The Doors
5th: The Who

Well, I think you should each atleast give him a picture of the slide you want.

[RockAndRoll]

So who got all of you guys intersted in classic rock?
For me it was my dad. Queen, beatles and stuff.
I guess kind of my dad too, just in the sense he listens to it and i was like "hey this music is awesome" and then I fell in love. My brother is also a classic rock fan.

[Badmoon]

So who got all of you guys intersted in classic rock?
For me it was my dad. Queen, beatles and stuff.

The Who, The Beatles. I can easily thank my Dad for introducing me to those two bands at a young age.

[Lew15]

I have always been a classic rock fan. The first band I really liked was Led Zeppelin. From there I started to get into Rush, the Who, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Boston and Cream. Now I'm more into progressive metal, but I still listen to classic rock from time to time.

RUSH! what a great band! not many people know of em but they were meantioned in school of rock i remember recallin :)

[Badmoon]

^ Sweet avatar :thumb:


And no, a lot of people know Rush. Maybe not around you, but they are a popular band.

[StreetlightRock]

*yawn*, morning, rnr, it ws 2am when i posted that, ill do it sometime today, heh

DVG.

[B0nz0]

Well, I think you should each atleast give him a picture of the slide you want.
lol i gotta go look for em tommorow then, too late tonight

[Badmoon]

Traveling Wilburys anyone?

[RNR]

Rush is a really popular band. I never really got into them but i'll give them credit. Maybe i'll listen to a few more songs.

[StreetlightRock]

rnr, there you go.

voodoo: had space for another one, so i put on Pink Floyd =)

DVG.

[RNR]

rnr, there you go.

voodoo: had space for another one, so i put on Pink Floyd =)

I love you :). And you even called the file rnr.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

like bohemian rhapsody! and under pressure. another one bites the dust. fat bottom girls. find me somebody to love. crazy little thing called love. we are the champions.

umm...i like more than "their greatest hits" i figured everyone already knew those songs so i put some Queen songs that deserve recgonition.

[StreetlightRock]

<---voodoo yours

DVG.

[Neowens]

Im a huge classic rock fan, my playlist features, Led Zep, alot of Van Halen, tons of AC/DC, Hendrix and lots of Guns n Roses. If this great genre is to return, we should all get behind the Darkness and just hope some more classic sounding bands, with raging guitar solos come out, instead of "the strokes", "kings of leon" and all those **** bands.

[fenderbender29]

i love bands like: Zeppelin, Floyd, hendrix, The Eagles, Clapton, Grateful dead, and others

I do notice a lot of these poser bands like good charlote and simple plan that say that they were inspired by these bands, they are full of Sh**. They are boy bands with guitars.

Albiet, i try not to limit myself to one genre of music. I also like some nw bands, linkin park isnt bad, smile empty soul, hoobastank. Hes not new, but i also love Marley

[RNR]

Nice playlist. Bands like that are trying to bring back classic rock but they are nothing compared with the older stuff. Also the band Jet are said to be trying to bring classic rock back. Now their first song was awful but I heard the rest of their cd and it sounds very ac/dc based. With a little better soloing I think they could be pretty good.

The darkness are fun and I like them (most of their songs anway). Hopefully there will be more classic rock bands but it seems all of the talent these days is going to metal and not to classic rock bands. Not like any of the talent today compares with the older stuff...

Oh god, Good Charlotte being influnced by those bands? I'd like to see that idiot makeup wearing wanna-be punk play any Jimmy Page song.

I like Linkin Park's "hybrid theory" cd a lot. But once they whored out on the media I stoped caring. I still listen to hybrid theory once in a while though.

Edit: Nice first post :thumb: I think my first post was something along the lines of "who's Eddie Van Halen?!!!!!11???" :(

[Roin McDink]

hey im 14 a kindda new to classic rock. I use to be into red hot chili peppers nirvana metallica and a few other new bands put when i started playing guitar and heard the awsome solos in led zeppelin and ac/dc i started to get into classic rock i currently listen to

ac/dc
the who
the eagles
eric clapton (and most of the bands he was in)
deep purple
black sabboth
hendrix

can any1 recomend any good classic rock bands that i might like... thanks :thumb:

[VoodooChild]

Try out some:

Allman Brothers Band
Blue Oyster Cult....hmm, we havent really taked about them yet. I like them.
Bob Dylan maybe
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Pink Floyd
Queen
Santana
Steve Miller
Beatles

and the list goes on and on and on and on.......
Just look at the first few pages of this thread. We lists about 100 bands.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

any BOC talk i must be involved, im a HUGE fan of them...i got preety much all of their albums. Spectres and the self titled album are easily still at the top of my list for them though.

[Badmoon]

I brought up the Traveling Wilburys, why no talk about that?

[VoodooChild]

W00t, let's get some BOC talk started. Right now I only have one of their albums, a compilation actually, Workshop of the Telescopes. I'm looking for some of their other ones like Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation and others. Even though I only have W of the T I still love it. I love BOC because the're so unique and original. They have this dark psychedelic feel to them. It's amazing. Roeser's guitar work is awesome and Bloom's voice is up there with the greats. S, what do the rest of you guys think of them.

[Badmoon]

We should all have an AIM chat


Does anyone not have AIM?

[RNR]

Good stuff. I haven't heard much by the eagles but everybody says they are good so i'll check em out.

You should check out. Van Halen, Buffalo Springfield, Rush, The doors, Allman Brothers band, Grateful Dead... I'll think of some more but those are some good guitar based bands and even just bands that aren't quite as heavily into the solos as what you mentioned.

Oh and does anybody know what the lead guitarist from Deep Purple's name is?

[VoodooChild]

Then - Ritchie Blackmore
Now - Steve Morse

[VoodooChild]

AIM - Sn0wPr0 with zeros, not O's.

[Badmoon]

Joe Satriani also played for Deep Purple

[VoodooChild]

Hehe, sorry we forgot about The Traveling Wilburys. I haven't had the chance to listen to a lot of their material, but what I have heard I like. I just like the fact that they are made up of stars like Dylan, Petty, Orbison, Harrison, can't remember the other guys name. I have heard "Handle With Care", "End of the Line", "Last Night" and a few other songs. I tihnk they are a pretty good band, maybe I'll buy one of their albums. Moon, what do you think of them.

[Badmoon]

^ Jeff Lyne (From ELO)


I think they're great. Fabulous singing of course, and just a great feel good, super group. Harrison kicks ***.

[VoodooChild]

Joe Satriani also played for Deep Purple

So did Tommy Bolin but it was for a really short time. I only listed the two main guitar players DP had/has.

[Badmoon]

^ Bolin also replaced Joe Walsh in James Gang. It's impossible to replace Walsh, he's too **** good.

[VoodooChild]

I like Walsh for his work with The Eagles.

[Badmoon]

^ Have you listened to much of The James Gang?

[RNR]

Joe Satriani also played for Deep Purple

Wow, I never knew that all of those guys played for them. I just though that they ad some really good but unheard of guitarist.

[RNR]

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers anybody?

[VoodooChild]

^ Have you listened to much of The James Gang?

Yea, I own Yer' Album. Don't get me wrong, I like Walsh with James Gang and James Gang in general, I just think Walsh had a lot more success with the Eagles. You see what I'm saying.

[Ramsey]

I like Teh Eagulz, Teh Dire Straitz, and TEh Who.

:)

[Badmoon]

Yea, I own Yer' Album. Don't get me wrong, I like Walsh with James Gang and James Gang in general, I just think Walsh had a lot more success with the Eagles. You see what I'm saying.

You should buy Rides Again, amazing album.

[Badmoon]

I like Teh Eagulz, Teh Dire Straitz, and TEh Who.

:)


:rolleyes:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Joe Satriani also played for Deep Purple

i like their style now with Steve Morse alot.

[Badmoon]

^ Yeah, there is no doubt that Steve is a great guitar player, and they do great with him. He has his own style, which is always good.

[Maggot Dream]

FOr any Who fans out there, their putting out a new greatist hits collects, "Then and Now", but they're also talkin about new material, album and everything. I dunno who the drummers gonna be, Zak Starkey was awesome at their last tour, but im not sureif i like the bassist, pino palladino.
What was the topic again? oh, right, yea, classic rock rules, ive noticed lots of fans at my school, great news.

[Badmoon]

^ They're also releasing a new album and supposebly already went into the studio.

[StreetlightRock]

from the last page -- The strokes and the links of leon, although there no where near what the old guys are, there pretty decent music, and certainly better to listen to than the darkness.... his voice puts me off.

DVG.

[PumaPride77]

hey will someone tell me a good yardbirds cd to buy, because i've heard good things and i'm interested.

[VoodooChild]

Good job, The Yardbirds are a very good band. I'd say get Ultimate!. It's a compilation of all of their best songs. I think the CD has about 50 songs so you will be interested for a while. Now go out and spend...

[RNR]

Anybody here like Bob Seger? If so wha are your favorite songs?

[StreetlightRock]

RRRRraaaaarrrr!!! im gonna see Deep Purple live tomorrow!!! i went out to this resturant for dinner and i noticed this poster and i saw the words Deep Purple... i was like 'the hell...?' and it said there were here preforming tomorrow night!! i had no idea! and and yea, im gonna see them tomorrow!! .... im in Singapore BTW. There touring Asia aparently =)

DVG.

[RNR]

^*Kills you*

*Takes the tickets*

:D

Some would say I would KILL for deep purple tickets ;)

[B0nz0]

I almost saw their show in NY, but i couldn't make it. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Tell us how it turns out, i really want to see Ian Paice. and Highway Star is one of my favorite songs. ever.

[B0nz0]

Just download photoshop or something from www.Download.com, for animation and it will shrink your image.

[VoodooChild]

ANYWAY, any of you guys like ZZ Top. I'd say I'm a decent fan of theirs. I don't have any of their albums but I have quite a few songs downloaded. Some of my favorites are "Apologies to Pearly", "La Grange", Legs", "Sharp Dressed Man", "Cheap Sunglasses", "Pearl Necklace" and more others. What I like about them is their "dirty southern blues" style they got. Plus Billy Gibbons is one of the best blues players out there. It's said that he was Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitar player. So, what do you guys think about them.

[RNR]

I love zz top. They just plain rock. My dad hates them in the way a Bob Dylanish type person hates Ac/dc (and zz top too I guess). They have a great guitarists too :).

[B0nz0]

i like zz top a lot. i'm not like a true fan, as i only have a greatest hits album, but it is quite good. i love sharp dressed man, cheap sunglasses, legs, tush, the grange, and give me all your loving.

[Badmoon]

I saw ZZ Top live, they were pretty good, each were great musicians.

[VoodooChild]

It's nice to see that you guys like them too...

So, do you guys have any concerts already planned for summer. So far I'm thinking about a Phish concert and a String Cheese Incident concert. I would go to a Dead concert(they already released the tour dates) but the closest venue is waaaay to far away. East Troy, WI. There is still a possibility though. Also maybe I might go to an Allman Bros concert. I can't wait to see Derek Trucks, he's awesome. So these 4 choices are what I got. This is kinda classic rick related so share your plans with me and mayby recomend me other comcerts I could go too. Anyway, let me hear you out.

[VoodooChild]

EDIT: Sorry, double post.

Bonzo's post - Good point Bonzo, that Van Halen tour should be kickin. I'll have to consider that too.

[B0nz0]

i dunno yet, but if they do a NY date, that van halen tour is a must.

[Badmoon]

I don't really have anything planned, The Who may do another tour. I'd definatly go to that.

[RNR]

If the who do a tour I would go no matter what. I'm going to go see Van Halen and Hopefully the Allman Brothers. If anybody gets the chance go see one of those pink Floyd cover bands. Not the real thing but pretty good :thumb:

[Tangy zizzle]

Deep Purple are playin a couple shows here (New Zealand), I may go to one of those.

[Tangy zizzle]

There is a Pink Floyd tribute band who tour here every year, they are INCREDIBLE!

They have a light show and backing screens and other great effects.

I might go to a Led Zeppelin tribute band soon, they sound pretty good.

[The McDoogles]

Im glad to see so many people that enjoy the same bands as I do. At my school only my best friend and I have much sense of anything before the 90s. The Beatles inspired me to play guitar and bass more. Their my favorite band, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about other classic rock. I listen to Jethro Tull, Hendrix, and pretty much anything I can find.

As for a revival, I doubt it. And that sucks. Most people that 'like classic rock' only like Beatles and Led, as aforementioned, and that's only because they are told to.

[RNR]

I agree the tribute bands are great but they are nothing compared to the real thing :(

[B0nz0]

i'd hit up the who. i'm hoping clapton will tour by me in support of his new album

[Badmoon]

As for a revival, I doubt it. And that sucks. Most people that 'like classic rock' only like Beatles and Led, as aforementioned, and that's only because they are told to.

My band, "The Frozen Food Section", is trying to bring back jam bands and Folk/Bluegrass/Blues/Psychedelia-Rock. Though there are a good amount of bands like that now, but they are mostly underground (With the exception of a few), and maybe we can join the greats and get people more into that type of music. Though, we have to get our act together a bit first. Plus we have plenty of time.

P.S. I also don't like the name, I'm thinking of a different one.

[VoodooChild]

Hmm, a Clapton concert would sound pretty sweet, gotta consider that too.

Badmoon, your band sound really cool. When you guys get some songs done you gotta post them on here. I'd love to hear them. And I agree with the name thing, CHANGE IT! :p

[RockAndRoll]

I'm going to see a festival type concert (3 days) this sumemr with a bunch of bands like steppenwolfe, april wine, david wilcox, and a bunch of other bands, no huge names i don't think but great bands none the less. And the name is kind of bad, my band is also stuck on a name though, it can be hard to think of a good one.

Yeah, right now I'm making us do a bunch of old folk and blues covers, so it morphs our playing and it gives us some background. We've been playing for a short time. The covers we have done don't fit exactly what I just said, but were working on some covers that do. The covers we have done, in our short time together are "Bad moon Rising", and "Uncle John's band".

[StreetlightRock]

<-- Bonz0 yours... heh, sorry badmoon, ill get to yours asap.

*counts down - 7hours till the DP concert!

DVG.

EDIT: Badmoon, got yours done, just need to wait for bonz0 to pick his up

[tgstar]

How about...
Tull - Deep Purple - ELP - Yes - Doobie Brothers - Bad Company - Frampton - Humble Pie - REO Speedwagon - Zappa - Jeff Beck - Mahogany Rush, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, etc, etc, etc...

[VoodooChild]

^^^Yea, that's true, there are a lot of great ol' rock bands out there.^^^

Badmoon, if you have recording of those 2 covers you should put them up on soundclick or something. Like I said before, I really want to hear them. And also, what instuments do you play in your band. I'm just curious.

Guitar, I'm origianlly a drummer, but I'm equally as good at guitar.

Eventually I'll probably throw in some banjo playing too.

[VoodooChild]

Haha, using Pulp Fiction wisely.

Yea, guitar is the way to go. Some banjo playing would be nice too. Anyway, I'll be waiting till you guys record something.

[Badmoon]

^Well don"t be suprised if your waiting for a while

[RNR]

Think you could post some music from your band some time?

I might start a band once I get my electric guitar. We would be sort of a Van Halen type band exept with less good soloing obviously. We would have a few acoustic songs and maybe even a few bluesy songs.

[RockAndRoll]

Heh, my band does covers of time, The Ocean, Dazed and Confused, Voodoo Child, Purple Haze, Communication Break Down, we used to do some others but we haven't played them much lately, unfortunately we also have no vocalist however my guitarist is taking lessons, and he'll currently fill some parts in with some improve.

[StreetlightRock]

AAaaaiiiiiiyyyeeee!! HOLY GOD THAT ROCKKKKEEDDD!! That was one of the best concert EVER! Deep Purple still have it in them guys!! It was outdoors, two and half hours of pure Rock an' Roll! They played all the good ones, Perfect Strangers, Hush, Blacknight, Woman from Tokyo, and of course, Somke on the Water!! EEee, it was wild! Their new keyboardist kicks major as* and and, oh ye gods... bed... bed...

DVG.

[sheenaisapunkrocker]

definitely seems to be coming back me and all my friends listen to hendrix the who ac/dc zeppelin thin lizzy the beatles and the stones all the time

[Badmoon]

The best thing you could do instead of starting a band right away, is learn atleast 15 covers by yourself. The covers would have to be by a band(s) that you want to sound like. Don't make originals until you can play each of those songs, have them down by memorization, and know them like the back of your hand. That will give you a knowledge of what you want to write and what you want to sound like. The next step would be, forming a band. Just don't rush into stuff. This is all being said from a guy who rarely gets out, and no tons of crap like this. Make sure you know what you want from your band also.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

what do you guys feel about Aerosmith's all blues album that just came out?

[Badmoon]

^ not much of an Aerosmith fan, but I can see downloading some songs from it.

[B0nz0]

thanx for the avatar dvg. i wish i coulda been at that purple concert ...

i hear theyre at newcastle soon so i might go and see them unless thats the concert you were talking about....

[Badmoon]

Heh, we were going to do fire until we realized how bad it sounded without vocals.

Speaking of "Fire", the drumming on there is nuts. Do any of your drummers play it exact? It took me a, okay amount time to learn it exact. That was a while ago though. It shows you how great Mitch Mitchel was.

the drummer in my band can listen to anything to anything then play along with it straight after but with fire he has to listen to it before every time he plays it

[RNR]

Mitch Mitchel is great. Most underated drummer ever.

[Badmoon]

Lets each post the Classic Rock bands we hate the most.

Dire Straits
Steely Dan
Foreinger
Rolling Stones (to a small degree)
Led Zeppelin
The Ramones

[RNR]

Classic rock is perfect. I have not yet found a classic rock band that I hate.

Edit:^ I never thought the Ramones were classic rock. Yeah ok I hate them. I hate one classic rock band that I don't even consider classic rock.

[Badmoon]

^ Pathetic answer :lol:

[RNR]

That was really fast. :eek:

And I seriously can't find any classic rock that I hate. Some of it might sound bad but if it's classic rock I can't hate it. I can dislike the music but that is as far as I can take it.

[whitenoiserulz]

IN my opinion Zeppelin is the best band ever. They r my favorite band and my own rock band aspires to be as great as them. I know at least a fourth of their songs and am still learning more. I think that classic rock is birdging the gap between two generations and I have been noticing a classic rock revival in my area :thumb: . Bands from today rip off so much of classic rocks greatest songs and riffs and I notice it everyday. Without classic rock where would we be??????????

I agree with you completely. But you better hightail it out of here before badmoon gets angry at you for saying that Led Zeppelin did all of that. He will beat you senseless for believing that Zeppelin did anything for music (:p to badmoon).

IMo the most talented all around band ever and certainly one of the best sounding.

[RockAndRoll]

Hey anyone else see sarstock last summer?

No, I believe they have talent, but I do believe they're slightly overrated, in all aspects.

I use to like them, but it's just Robert Plant's voice that makes you dislike them. There are many other reasons why I dislike them, but that is one large part.

[StreetlightRock]

Oh yea guys, that reminds me, yesterday, as an opening act, Jimi Hendrix's Second Cousin was there. He can really play! but i dono, he didnt have the soul... or mabye i couldnt care too much about him waiting for DP to come on. Anyway, they said hes got an album on the way, and the stuff he plays, real classic rock sorta stuff, i sorta hope he makes it big, 'cause yea.

I do understand what you mean about them being slightly over rated but they're still an amzing band in my opinion.

I have a friend that also really disliked robert plant's voice for a while, at first he was a huge fan then the voice got to him now he's becomeing a fan again. But what I found odd about it is that he listens to alot of radio head, and really likes thom yorke (yes his voice to me is very annoying at times).

Although I disagre with you i respect your opinion because you have actual reasons not "They're just old fogey music".

Anyways as for bands I dislike it depends on what you consider classic rock. However one band that took a wrong turn was jefferson airplane. As jefferson airplane they had good stuff but later on they just sucked - jefferson starship and such.

[StreetlightRock]

But like, heaps of people out there who go 'I LOVE LED ZEPPLIN!!' have only actually heard Stairway to Heaven.

DVG.

[B0nz0]

i like led zeppelin, except plant bothers me.

classic rock bands i don't like:
Fleetwood Mac
KISS


do any of you guys like the Motown stuff? personally i love a lot of it. i know most of it is pop stuff and i'm prob gonna get flamed for this, but i'm a big stevie wonder fan. i also love the temptations and the four tops. and marvin gaye and smokey robinson.

[RockAndRoll]

Yea, i know, or people that go "CALSSIC ROCK IS AWESOME" have only heard zeppelin, but hey some of them are just new to it and haven't had their time to "grow".

But ya i do not what you mean, most "real" (for lack of a better word) classic rock fans like the song, but I don't know a single one who would site it as their favourite song. The song is defintely over rated, it's good but they have better stuff. I find the bigger fans of bands are often the ones that like the bands less popular songs.

Ya, i don't really care for kiss, i'm sure their shows are great but as far as music goes it's mediocre. In interviews they seem much to full of themselves I they're all "ya, rock sucked and then we came and everybody was happy" especially gene simmons.

Fleetwood mack- not much to say, I just don't like their music.

[Badmoon]

^ Yeah, I also hate Fleetwood Mac

[B0nz0]

what instruments do u guys play, and what are your favorite classic rock songs to play along to. i play drums (6 years) and guitar (1 month). i really can't play along with anything yet on the guitar, but on the drums i like playing to "fire," "baba o'reilly," "frankenstein," "won't get fooled again," and lots of cream and zeppelin.

i think it would be a cool idea if we started an e band and recorded covers of classic rock songs. unfortunately i have no recording equiptment.

[Badmoon]

^ nor do I

[B0nz0]

o well, so much for that idea.

[RNR]

I play guitar and don't really have a favorite band to play. I'll learn anything if I like it.

[RockAndRoll]

I play drums and enjoy playing a bunch fo different stuff, cream, zeppelin, and hendrix mostly but i'm going to learn some the who stuff soon and some doors if i can convince my guitarist to play some of it.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

guitar- i play mostly speed metal and uplifting power metal type leads

bass- if im in a bluesy mood im basically a replica of John Paul Jones, but when im writing and jamming im a Steve Harris (iron maiden) triplet nut with the neck knowledge and style of Geddy Lee.

[VoodooChild]

I play guitar(about 6 months) and I'm gonna order a harmonica in a month or two. When I play guitar I'm super diverse. I play anything from Bob Dylan to Metallica to Incubus to Phish to AC/DC to everything else. I love all music. I also can't do the e-band thing since I got no recording equipment.......and I kinda suck :P

[Vegetable Man]

Classic Rock is pretty good, but it's way too popular in my opinion. I love bands like Pink Floyd, the Beatles, CCR, THe Byrds, etc but most of the best classic rock bands are from the 60s. In the 70s it lost all of it's credibility when bands like the Eagles, BTO, and Foreigner emerged. That stuff is so generic. Another thing is that is get so much play on the radio, the classic rock. Why doesn't the radio ever play and Velvet Underground, they are a classic example of a great rock band.

[StreetlightRock]

^ guitar, 4 years, i play mostly anything rock related, metal, classic, whatever.

DVG.

[sheik]

I'm 15 and most of my friends like the ocassional classic rock song but i don't know any one who likes it as much as me. In the christmas/summer holidays my Dad gave me all his old vinyl and the covers were a little dirty but I cleaned them up and now I have, Cream-Disrali Gears, The Jimi Hendrix Experience-Smash Hits, The Beatles-White album
and heaps of others like jefferson airplane, the byrds and what not. Ive played acoustic guitar for 2 years but I'm 4 weeks away from getting a squire strat.
My 9 year old brother loves classic rock after seeing that movie, school of rock

[Moroii]

I've been playing guitar about four years, but I've been serious for the last year or so, and maybe for a short time a couple years ago. I don't typically play other people's solos, 'cause they're bitches to get down to the point of being able to play it with any real emotional vitality, plus it's so much more rewarding to make up your own, that builds character. I just learn all the riffs and bits & pieces of the solos, and then improvise to an album. As far as my prefered band to jam to, that's any band with long, simple groovy songs, not to many complex changes (makes for hard soloing sometimes). But it's best to go for variety, that builds character, too.

my uncle got me into it when i was like seven or younger

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

lucky bastard i cant find that anywhere even on cd

look on www.cdnow.com , thats where i got mine :)

distrali gears is such an incredible cd, the first Wah-Wah apperance in "the tale of ulyssees", Ginger really shines on that record. my personal favourite of their 4 studio albums.

[abcvh]

60's and 70's were when rock was at it's pinacle. today it seems to be going further down hill...but along the way there were some 80's greats, like queen, ac/dc, van halen, billy joel, etc. let's not forget them, they are classic rock as well.

i notice no1's mentioned george thorogood, the doobie bros., iron butterfly, the animals, srv, journey, styx, the moody blues... etc. what are some of ur favorite lesser know classic rock artists?

Montrose was such a great group(sammy hagar) Oh yes and about OU812 and Balance, they were both very good albums, OU812 is my fav VH album from Sammy.

Piano Nine years and still running. I play a lot of classical, doors, my own music, Yes, Czerny... etc.

And i play guitar (1.25 months), I play AC/DC, rush... etc

[jimmypumpkin]

^ nor do I

I see that you have Captian Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" in your avatar.

Greatest.Album.Ever

:thumb:

[jimmypumpkin]

I just noticed I haven't posted any of my fav classic rock bands in this thread. I made a "official classic rock" kinda thread a long time ago, but it wasn't nearly as large as this one. Oh well.

The Beatles
The Who
The Byrds
The Animals
The Greatfull Dead
Cream
The Allman Brothers
Band of gypsies
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Rush
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Queen
Boston

As for classic rock bands I cannot stand:

The Doors (I've tried to get into them several times, but I just can't. Most overrated band of all time if you ask me)
The Eagles (as vegetable man said, so boring and generic)
Aerosmith

[RNR]

So who likes John Mellencamp? He seems like classic rock but i'm not sure. Anyway I think he is great.

[Leonard Skinard]

SKYNYRD!!!! RULES!!! AC/DC, the who, Ted Nugent, Scorpipons, Guns N Roses, Alice Cooper, Cheech and Chong they all rule

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Montrose was such a great group(sammy hagar) Oh yes and about OU812 and Balance, they were both very good albums, OU812 is my fav VH album from Sammy.

really? I will always look at Van Halen's "for unlawful carnal knowledge" as Sammys best work with them.

[Badmoon]

The Doors (I've tried to get into them several times, but I just can't. Most overrated band of all time if you ask me)

Are you serious? That is the band that I consider perfect in all aspects of Rock, minus bass playing. They play blues, they play psychedelia. They're just perfect, in my opinion.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i cant get into the doors either. i wouldnt say overated, but i think its another example of a bands popularity growing beyond what i would have due to the death of the frontman.

[amused to death]

i gotta say, the avatar for the 'fathers of time' is awesome! nice to see u included a certain prism on a black background.......

Well, I shouldnt have said most overrated band of all time, but Frail pretty much covered what I think in his post. I'm a big fan of psychadelia, and the blues, but The Doors just don't do it for me.

[Badmoon]

Anybody besides me, see Mickey Hart on that one Yahoo comercial? I think it was yahoo.

Well, I shouldnt have said most overrated band of all time, but Frail pretty much covered what I think in his post. I'm a big fan of psychadelia, and the blues, but The Doors just don't do it for me.

it makes total sense when it comes to your taste. overated is just a term people use when they either are afriad to like a band or have some kind of bias against them for whatever reason, we all think it about some groups. i enjoy my Cream albums and other bands from the same time period, but the doors overall sound dosent sit right with me. Jim's voice, although original, gets to me preety quick.

[IvortheEngineDriver]

I think both the Doors and Pink Floyd are hella overrated...just can't get into them

[VoodooChild]

Well just because you "can't get into them" doesn't mean they are over-rated.

Oh, moon, I gotta have my eye's pealed for that comercial. hehe.

[Badmoon]

Shall we post some of our favorite Classic Rock lyrics.

I'll just post Dead ones now.


Lotta poor man make a five dollar bill
Keep him happy all the time
Some other fellow making nothing at all
And you can hear him cryin... - Cumberland Blues

I been ballin' a shiny black steel jack-hammer
Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway
Live five years if I take my time
Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine - Easy Wind


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow - Ripple


Those are the only Dead ones I could think of.

[donutdude8888]

Am i the only **** one here who knows of the awesome greatness of Jimi Hendrix, the greatest musician EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Bands like the beetles and the doors were great but Jimi Hendrix was awesome, by awesome i mean greatest ever

[porter]

i agree with all you guys on classic rock. but you guys are leaving out some awsome bands. like foghat and bad company. not to mention my favorite, Styx.
i also hate rap but do you guys like punk. i think most of it just sucks. like the band Casualties. they are prbably the worst band i have ever heard.

[captainseptember]

SKYNYRD!!!! RULES!!!

AMEN!!! SWEET HOME ALABAMA!!!

The Beatles
The Who
Led Zepplin
Steely Dan
Deep Purple
Van Halen
Pink Floyd

And on The Darkness... only good song of their's is I Believe In a Thing Called Love. Sweeeeet song, but it doesn't make a band.

hey captainseptember. do you like any jet. they have some great songs. its on of the few new cds that i can listen to from start to finish.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I think both the Doors and Pink Floyd are hella overrated...just can't get into them

i dont take into consideration anyones opinions that use the word "hella".

[StreetlightRock]

^^, Jet are ok, solid, but normal.

BTW, any of you guys listen to Lynard Skynard? Got hold of a few of thier songs the other day, there pretty cool, opinions?

DVG.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Skynard are a band that i can only stand the hits, and i dont like saying that haha. Ive listened to almost all of their studio alums over time (hell i live in Missouri) and aside from their well known tracks, nothing really sticks out to me.

On the other hand, Molly Hatchet i feel song for song are a better example of southern rock...even if they came in the late 70's.

W00t, let's get some BOC talk started. Right now I only have one of their albums, a compilation actually, Workshop of the Telescopes. I'm looking for some of their other ones like Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation and others. Even though I only have W of the T I still love it. I love BOC because the're so unique and original. They have this dark psychedelic feel to them. It's amazing. Roeser's guitar work is awesome and Bloom's voice is up there with the greats. S, what do the rest of you guys think of them.

Get BOC, T & M, Secret Treaties, On Your Feet Or On Your Knees (Live, brilliant!). Also, the two newest ones, Heaven Forbid and Curse of the hidden mirror. And Extraterrestrial live (worth owning for Veteran of the psychic wars, if you like the studio version,this will drop your jaw, seriously, I have rare footage of this from when they recorded the live album, really is jaw-dropping,no exaggeration) And the new live album. I reccommend the DVD though, check out the way Buck plays guitar! Heres Buck's Boogie (live) (http://blueoystercult.com/Studio/BOCBucksBoogie.mp3) from the DVD/live album 'A long day's night'. They're getting better with age, and still tour regularly (will be seeing them in London in June!)

Rock on.

Any other BOC nuts here,or am I the only one?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

yeah no one responded to my BOC post :( . Honestly, im not a secret treaties fan. Weak song writing IMO. I love Spectres, Fire of an unknown orgin, self titled, agents of fortune, heaven forbid, etc... but secret treaties is always a let down to me. As for songs, im big on the "spectre" tracks as well as the majority of songs from their self titeld album (im on a lamb but i aint no sheep) and i had the fortune of seeing them last fall in a small casino club room...very great show. :)

Let's see,
1)Career of Evil. Musically, quite standard, but lyrics are pretty darn funny.
2)Subhuman. I like this, but the best version is on 'On your feet or on your knees'.
3)Dominance and submission. I really, really like this one. Never heard a live version that does it justice though. Love the lead work, great song. The way that the 3 guitars layer themselves before the final solo is very cool indeed.
4)ME 262. Okay, good lyrics, but the '5 guitars' version on 'On your feet or on your knees' wipes the floor with this version. That's all 5 of them on guitar kicking *** on this song. Wish I'd been born a couple of decades earlier to see that.
5)Cagey cretins. Solo came out of nowhere,one of my favourite of Buck's solos. Short,but very sweet.
6)Harvester of eyes. Best version is on 'On your feet or on your knees' (Check out the energy in the solo just after Eric shouts 'Huh! Alright! Get down!" Excellent.)
7)Flaming Telepaths. I like this too, I like the songwriting on it,and the guitar.
Theres a different re-recorded version on Cult Classics (which I'm trying to learn at the moment,btw) which is also very good.
8)Astronomy. Studio was good, but best version is on Cult Classics. Just after 'don't froget my dog, fixed inconsequent' the solo starts, slowly, one note at a time (about 1 note each 2.5 seconds) and builds up to an intense, speedy (about 7 notes a second, I guess) excellent solo (half of this versions 9 minutes is the end solo, with two small solos earlier in the song) that really is great.


But first album is probably my favourite. I agree with you on 'I'm on the lamb but I ain't no sheep. That really does demonstrate Buck's underrated skill. Also Before the kiss, a redcap is a favourite. Dual guitar leads is cool too.

Can't wait to see them live....

[VoodooChild]

What about Cartman?

BTW, any of you guys listen to Lynard Skynard? Got hold of a few of thier songs the other day, there pretty cool, opinions?
GRRRR, Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hey man, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to go and check those CD's out. Ilistened to Buck's Boogie and wow! That is one good song. Thanks again.

No problem, always nice to meet a fellow BOC fan.
Heres 'Cities on flame with rock and roll' also from the live DVD Cities on flame (http://blueoystercult.com/Studio/BOCCitiesOnFlame.mp3)
Eric's voice on this isn't as good as it was,but considering he, Buck, and Allen are in their 50's it holds up pretty well. Buck's leadwork is still awesome at 57 though.

Also, you can take a look under tour dates to see if they're playing near you sometime. http://blueoystercult.com/Road-main.html

:O there's a clapton concert in toronto (i live 2 hours away)
but it's 115$ for decent seats:(.

you will love them live, and i still dont agree with Secret Treaties, its about the only album of theirs i cant listen through the whole way.

[bassboy26]

i find that there r only a few bands that i like that arnt classic rock... i mean classic rock is great... it came from a time when people could not make it if they werent great musicians, there were no nu-metal and boybands that had no talent... CLASSIC ROCK IS HOW ALL ROCK SHOULD BE!!!!

[Badmoon]

^ That's not exactly true, look at The Ramones, there is not really a great musician out of them. Though they are Punk, they have have came from practically the same time period.

[roughyed]

If we are talking Classic Rock as in "Rock that is still as popular now as it was when it first came out", then QUEEN are the obvious choice for me.

DEEP PURPLE - they are comming to Manchester in November!! And im there! Still touring, still great!

NEIL YOUNG - Awesome. Saw him in sheffield and he was awesome, ive got most of his stuff on LP, hehehe how "retro" of me.

[AtramentumZE]

Jimi Hendrix ia god to me.

[RockAndRoll]

:O there's a clapton concert in toronto (i live 2 hours away)
but it's 115$ for decent seats:(.
I'm going! i got tickets, today, his one canadian date, and although i'm not on the floor i've got front section seats. That's right i've got front row seats to see eric clapton, you may start your envying now. I'm so psyched to go.

[RNR]

Maybe if I had the money I would pay that much for Clapton tickets. It's not like I have much to buy anyway.

[gregulus]

these teenagers like the hit singles(i.e. stairway, purple haze(wasnt a hit single but is the only hendrix song people who claim to like hendrix know), and break on through) they are real fans. if you play one of the amazing songs for them they will respond with an "..ehh"

[RockAndRoll]

Maybe if I had the money I would pay that much for Clapton tickets. It's not like I have much to buy anyway.

Yea, During the summer, i'm going to help take apart a friends fence enclosing his pool, which is paying for this concert and a bit more. I figure this is about a once in a life time chance for a guy like me, so it's worth the money.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

DEEP PURPLE - they are comming to Manchester in November!! And im there! Still touring, still great!


they are GREAT live, i saw them with Skynard and Dio a few summers back, they just canceled their American tour today though :(

[roughyed]

Purple cancelled? How come?

:chug:

[B0nz0]

THEY CANCELLED? sorry guys, i was away for a week, what did i miss?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Apprently there were issues with them traveling to the states, check www.blabbermouth.com for the article, probley on page 2-3 by now.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

Most every guitar player listens to classic rock at my school, but I love Pink Floyd, I hope it comes back

:(

[iownu2711]

Yeah. Classic rock owns especially Zeppelin.

[RockAndRoll]

Ok, this thread needs a revival, if you could see any classic rock band in concert at their peek who would it be? I'd probably have to go for the who.

[RNR]

Allman Brothers band. They are so old now :( Not like they don't blow everybody else ot of the water even at 50 years old... ;)

[RadKeysPlayer]

Led Zeppelin
The Doors
Van Halen
Rush
Pink Floyd

[Badmoon]

Indeed, The Who.

[RockAndRoll]

I think supertramp concerts would have been great too, I was told they had the light shows and everything going before that kind of thing became big. But the who had some wild concerts, so I still think they're at the top of my list.

[StreetlightRock]

Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin, simply because I COULD.

DVG.

[roughyed]

Def Leppard
Queen
Deep Purple (You can scratch that off in November woo!)

[Badmoon]

^ I wouldn't exactly call Def Leppard Classic rock.

[roughyed]

I wouldnt either. BUT they are rock and i would kill to go and see them now.

[rockinbass17]

classic rock is becoming popular in my school. zeppelin, van halen, the who, grateful dead, ac/dc, and hendrix are the most popular, but there are other good ones.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^ I wouldn't exactly call Def Leppard Classic rock.

Now that we are well into the new millenium alot of rock bands from the 80's are considered classics, and Def Leppard although having a differnet sound that lets say Queen, they to me are a rock band who are considered a classic, just a different kind of classic rock. in sure 15 years from now, people will consider Soundgarden classic rock, it will just keep expanding.

[craig]

ok i'v only looked at the first 2 pages of this thred im not gonna bother looking through the others why has no one said QUEEN one of the best bands ever and if you look all the best bands r british

queen
beatles
david bowie

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

There are lots of good british bands but not all the best ones are british (isn't ac/dc australian?). The doors, Hendrix experience, Rush, BTO, The Guess Who, CSNY, Band of Gypsys, etc etc.

Great Artsists not from Britain: Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix (the other two members of the experience were british), the grateful dead, the allman brothers, bruce springsteen, santana, van halen, the doors, the beach boys, Paul Simon (and art garfunkel for that matter), the doobie bros, CCR, lynyrd skynyrd, CSNY, the Band, The Eagles, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Van Morrison, chicago, jefferson airplane, and so many more.

[roughyed]

Queen being one of the best bands ever...just goes without saying. Even though i did say it....
