Classic Rock

[Schyma]

Im getting CD today today. What do you think I should get?

[jpj]

do you have an idea of what you want?

[magicbus]

Would this DVD be, by any chance, Strange Brew?
Yea.

EDIT:

Lunch, gj on the Meddle. Great cd :thumb:
And I like the Rolling Stones.

[Schyma]

do you have an idea of what you want?

Something different maybe some southern rock. :confused:

[lunch998]

Yea I have Strange Brew too. I thought some of the interviews were pretty cool, but the concert shots for the most part were done poorly. I still enjoy hearing Cream live though so its all good. Plus my brother got it for free at some giveaway thing.

[lunch998]

Something different maybe some southern rock. :confused:

Allmans maybe? Eat a Peach.

[Schyma]

I saw a local band in me town a few days ago called the Southern Backtones bought there CD and I am really impressed!! If you have soulseek and your interested find Danzig909 in the Spain room. browse me files and find Los Tormentos de Amor and download it.

[Broken Arrow]

Something different maybe some southern rock. :confused:
Get Neil Young-Harvest I've listened to that on viynl since I was a baby.

[RNR]

Don't shoot me, but I don't think that saifaction is even in the top 10 stones songs.

[Sharkeyes89]

Styx was just.....awsome!!!

[Badmoon]

Southern Rock is a hugely stupid classification. It's all Blues Rock.

[jpj]

Something different maybe some southern rock. :confused:
im not to familiar with a lot of southern rock, but you probably cant go wrong with the allmans

[owlandtree]

I agree. Southern rock is a vague categorization. Steely Dan was classified "southern rock" in the beginning.

[Broken Arrow]

Don't shoot me, but I don't think that saifaction is even in the top 10 stones songs.
*cocks gun* I disagree with you I'd say its 7-10 material.

[RNR]

I guess you're right. But it's not their best sing, or even in the top 5, whcih most people say it is.

[Broken Arrow]

Yes i am rigth. Have you heard the song "Miss You"

[Badmoon]

Everyone has heard "Miss You".

[Badmoon]

Debate Saturday or Friday?

[keep on phishin']

who you guys debating?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Topics badmoon?

[jpj]

off topic, but i just made an *** out of myself so can someone shoot me :upset:

[keep on phishin']

*points gun at jpjrulestheworld*

*makes an evil laugh*


*bang bang*

[jpj]

ahh...that feels better :) ...wait shouldn't i be dead :evil:


very sorry, i swear no more spam

[lunch998]

Debate Saturday or Friday?

I'm probably in. Want to try the Allmans vs. the Dead?

[RNR]

How about Pink Floyd Vs. the doors?

and we should do it saturday.

[Paranoidd]

They're not a jam band.

I know that. That's why I suggested that specific song, it has jamish qualities to it.

[StreetlightRock]

The best Stones song IMO is 'get off my cloud'

love it love it love it.

DVG.

[Broken Arrow]

How about Neil Young vs. Bob Dylan

[RNR]

^ that would be good too. Maybe we could have both debates.

[Broken Arrow]

If we do

Me:The Allmans and Neil

[keep on phishin']

I'll do the Dead vs. allmans one

me for dead

[session9]

Apropos of nothing...all this mass debating is okay, but you feel kind of hollow afterwards...(sorry. I'll get my coat)

[Broken Arrow]

Uhhhhh you better.^

*opens door to let crazed lunitic out*

[RockAndRoll]

how do you feel hollow afterwards? :confused:

[RNR]

If we do

Me:The Allmans and Neil

Same for me :D

[RNR]

how do you feel hollow afterwards? :confused:

It's like when I had to debate againsted the who. I lvoe the who, I didn't want to bring out every bad point about them and stuff :(

[RockAndRoll]

best way to avoid that is either 1. Just realising you may have to say stuff you don't agree with or 2. instead saying bad stuff about ______ use positive ways of saying the band you're debating for is better. I'd go with 1.

[session9]

Whoosh!
(i.e. sound of a bad joke flying over people's uncomprehending heads)

[Broken Arrow]

I love the Who, but its win at all costs.

[RockAndRoll]

Whoosh!
(i.e. sound of a bad joke flying over people's uncomprehending heads)
If that joke is what I think it was, then that is the absolute worst joke ever! but not in the good haha it's so bad it's funny way! :evil:

[session9]

You think that's the worst ever? I've got loads that are worse than that! "Comedy Gold, Jerry!"

[bedurnk]

Since my mom likes classic rock, it's what I've been listening to for as long as I can remember. She's introduced to me to bands like The Bealtes, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and I always try to find of other bands. I'm currently reading a book about some bands that started when rock 'n' roll began to rise, but never got popular because they just had extremely bad luck and such. It came with a cd and stuff like Cleaners From Venus, John's Children, The Deviants, etc. Some other stuff that isn't popular and such. Did anyone know that Jimmy Page took the violin bow on the guitar idea from Eddie Phillips of The Creation? But yeah, Jimmy Page liked it and tried it and it worked for Zeppelin, just not for The Creation.

\m/

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah Zeppelin are thieves comes up alot in this thread

[lunch998]

Yeah Zeppelin are thieves comes up alot in this thread

Haha I was just thinking "****it Jimmy its hard to stand up for you guys when you don't do anything original."

[RNR]

They did plenty of original stuff. And what they took from others, they actually improved with additions of their own.

But yeah, sheesh, make your own music. All of it! :angry:

[Badmoon]

Okay, Allmans vs. Dead on Friday!!!!!!!

So far it's me, and Phishin' for The Dead. Miick will be with the Allmans. So, for anyone who hasn't chose, choose, and research the opponent and your choice. I want this one to be tough.

[RNR]

Allmans vs. the dead followed by The Doors vs. pink floyd?

Pleeeeeeeease.

[magicbus]

I will not be participating! :thumb:

[jpj]

i dont know anything about either :upset:

[magicbus]

Yea I don't know enough, plus I probably won't be around.

[Bluesman522]

Ill be part of the doors v. pink floyd one, invite me in tho, my AIM sn is bluesman522

[RNR]

Umm, I have American Beauty but otherwise don't listen to much of The Dead. :(

[jpj]

why dont we do dead vs. allmans next week, to give people some time to research

[jpj]

sadly it seems some of us are uneducated when it comes to the dead :upset:

[RNR]

It's cause we aren't filthy hippies!



oooooooo
Nah, I like the dead. I just haven't got into them.

[magicbus]

It's cause we aren't filthy hippies!



oooooooo
Nah, I like the dead. I just haven't got into them.

zwned?

[Bluesman522]

It's cause we aren't filthy hippies!


Actually, I'm a filthy hippie

[magicbus]

4 more pages!

[RNR]

Actually, I'm a filthy hippie

Congrads.

[Bluesman522]

thanks

[Badmoon]

Umm, I have American Beauty but otherwise don't listen to much of The Dead. :(

Research.

Pink floyd vs. The Doors would suck. They are completely different.

Bluesmen can't be hippies.

[magicbus]

Who's the hippy?

Besides, all of Pink Floyd's songs use the pentatonic scale, and a lot of Gilmour's solos have blues licks anyways.

[Badmoon]

Album debates?

[magicbus]

I see what you mean though, they are very different styles of music.

[Badmoon]

YES!!! That's what we'll do.

Eat a Peach vs. American Beauty

If you haven't heard them, go on the super secret Classic Rock thread album archive site.

[RNR]

Umm, i've heard them, but I want to know what this site is :( how dare you keep this from me?

[Badmoon]

http://xsao.net/AA.html

[Badmoon]

Check Oldies and Rock. They have the best.

[RNR]

bitchin'! thanks. I never knew that the site with all of the phish albums was actually an overall music site :D

[RockAndRoll]

so when's the debate?

*is also a hippy, though not a terribly filthy one, just incredibly disorganzied*

[Badmoon]

I say friday night.

[RockAndRoll]

Okay, but there's a good chance I won't be there.

p.s Is that banjo I hear in squeeze box?

[Badmoon]

i can't particularly remember, but Pete Townshend was originally a banjoist.

[RockAndRoll]

i can't particularly remember, but Pete Townshend was originally a banjoist.
It probably is then.

[RockAndRoll]

I was just looking at that site and realised their europe 72 album is different then the one I own. :eek:

[Badmoon]

Who cares? Aslong as they got "I Know You Rider", I'm good ;).

[RNR]

That site is so slow :( it keeps messing up. But it's free so i'm happy.

[RockAndRoll]

Who cares? Aslong as they got "I Know You Rider", I'm good ;).
but that means they might not have the secret track. :eek: (plus 2 caution do not stop on tracks and 2 good lovin's)

[Badmoon]

Me & My Uncle and Mama Tried = Best Dead live songs.

[RockAndRoll]

That site is so slow :( it keeps messing up. But it's free so i'm happy.
It was super fast for me, and I mean super fast.

[RockAndRoll]

Me & My Uncle and Mama Tried = Best Dead live songs.
say have you heard the story about the yeller (yellow) dog?

[Badmoon]

Heard of something like that? Yes. Heard it? No sir.

[RockAndRoll]

Heard of something like that? Yes. Heard it? No sir.
ah, you were my last hope, I thought if any one had heard it it would be you.

[RNR]

It was super fast for me, and I mean super fast.

Show off :(

[Badmoon]

I've noticed on Europe '72, during "Sugar Magnolia", Bob Weir (Who is sings the song) does not lose control of the note and give that old man gasp on the "Saw" part of "Saw my baby, down by the river". Which he of course commonly does.

Or am I the only one who cares?

Screw you Mohummed!!!!!

/random

[jpj]

yea, it works fine for me :) . you must just have a crappy computer

[Badmoon]

Yes, you're technologically retarded :thumb:

[RNR]

yea, it works fine for me :) . you must just have a crappy computer

Well, **** it cost $1000 and I got it last year. God danmit :( (after serious system cleanout, it still hasen't got faster).

[jpj]

its okay i once had a ****ty computer. i feel your pain.

That might be my favourite part of the song.

[Badmoon]

He pulls it off much better on the recording .

[Badmoon]

Current Kings of the noodle method = moe.

Previous and forever grandfathers - G' Dead

[jpj]

um...should i know what the noodle method is :confused:

[RNR]

its okay i once had a ****ty computer. i feel your pain.

Did you even read my post?

[RockAndRoll]

okay this is really pissing me off, all audio files I get come as ASX files, which i cannot play, how do I stop them from being asx?

[jpj]

yes i did and trust me computers can become ****ty in a year

[Badmoon]

um...should i know what the noodle method is :confused:

Yes, a bit wacky Rock improve, commonly used by Jam Bands.

[RNR]

yes i did and trust me computers can become ****ty in a year

shows what you know... It cost a lot so that automaticly makes it good.

(canadian logic)

[jpj]

aw, man im so stupid sorry :upset: . i didnt hurt your computer's feelings did i?

[RNR]

ha, it doesn't have feelings.


Also i've notcied that the quality of the songs on that site aren't as good as the real thing. It has a lot of downsides but more upsides than downside, the upsides also being more significant than the downsides, so the upsides make up for the downsides which it has.

*hopes that made sense*

[jpj]

yea the quality is pretty bad

[pskov]

They were an early 90's brit rock band. They pretty much inspired Oasis (well, Liam decided he wanted to be a singer after hearing them). They also did a great job of combining some electronic sounds as well. Their styles vary widely...

If I had to recommend a couple songs off the top of my head, I'd say Daybreak and Driving South. The guitar work is excellent. Their bass player, Mani Moufield (one of my favs), went to play with Primal Scream after the stone roses broke up. He's a killer player too.
Yeah, Mani is a killer bassist. Also check out Waterfall, Fool's Gold and Sally Cinamon track wise. They sound like a more bass driven Smiths with a hint of electro psychedelica.

Brown solo tweaks up the electro (seeing as he doesn't have a drummer or bassist anymore he kind of has too) but but his songs are more elaborate and interestingly arranged. My favourite by him is F.E.A.R. where every line of the song goes F____ E_____ A_____ R______ example the first verse is:

For each a road,
For everyman a religion,
Find everybody and rule,
F*** everything and rumble,
Forget everything and remember,
For everything a reason,
Forgive everybody and remember.

It sounds REALLY cool. :cool:

[Creedence Clearwater]

^^ I like the avatar, did you make it yourself in paint?

[slowhand]

Ahem...

Guys, I want to buy the Blusebreaker CD (the Beano one). Is it as good as everyone says it is?

Also, I'm interested in Velvet Underground and Rush, but don't know where to start. Help, please. And can anyone tell me what they sound like?

[Paranoidd]

*ahem*

Good choise on VU and Rush. Two of my all time favorite bands.

Pretty much anything of VU is good. Lou Reed (of VU) has had a 30 year career after VU, but most people think his stuff with the band is the best. Jeez man, I really like all their tracks, but stuff like Heroin, Venus in Furs, Candy Says, Jesus, etc, etc is just essential. The only album you may want to avoid (unless you're really into pysch and poetry) is White Light/White Heat. I have them all, personally, but it's an aquired taste.

As for Rush, go with anything that didn't come after signals. A farewell to kings is my favorite album of theirs, but 2112, Caress of Steel, Moving Pictures, pretty much everything is excellent.

[slowhand]

Thanks.

From VU, is "Velvet Underground and Nico" good?

[Paranoidd]

Yup. Probably their most criticially acclaimed album.

The only thing that you may not like is Nico's voice, she's got a weird one, but she doesn't sing on every song so you should be OK.

[slowhand]

But what is their scene? I mean, are they blues rock, prog rock, what?

[Paranoidd]

Psychedelic. They did loooots of drugs.

Lou Reed is the master of making a simple song sound good. They're just simple songwriters, but some stuff (like venus in furs) has alot more elements to it.

[slowhand]

Well then, I think I might check out "Velvet Underground and Nico" and see what's all the fuss about.

[Paranoidd]

:thumb:

The track "heroin" is legendary. It's part of the unwritten junkie code that you never, ever play that song while getting high.

Heroin

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And you can't help me now, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off and dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

[slowhand]

I can read why someone wouldn't want to hear that song while doing drugs... It would freak them out.

And then there's Rush. Maybe I'll look for "A farewell to kings."

[thickasabrick]

i just listened to heroin...i enjoyed it (thank god im not on drugs or that would probably freak me out) you seem knowledgable, can you recommend more velvet underground songs that you think would do the band justice? i never knew nico sang with velvet revolvet. i read about her a bunch in my jim morrison biography. she didnt sound very talented at music.

edit- oh god i did say velvet revolver (i still spelt it wrong though)

[jpj]

i never knew nico sang with velvet revolvet. i read about her a bunch in my jim morrison biography. she didnt sound very talented at music.
you mean velvet underground dont you :confused:

[Paranoidd]

Haha, you said Velvet Revolver :lol:

I do it sometimes too.

Andy Worhol really, really liked Nico (but he was also a nutbar) and insisted that VU let her perform with them. The band wasn't even too crazy about her at first. She had a weird voice. Andy Worhol gave them their break (they were like his "official" band) so they owed him the favor.

Other songs I really like by them

Venus in Furs
Candy Says
Sunday Morning
Waiting for the man
What goes on
Pale Blue Eyes
Jesus
Beginning to See the light
Sweet Jane

Some of my favorites...

You may also like some of Lou Reed's solo work. He put out a CD recently called "animal serenade," it's a live album and it's real good. He does a few VU tracks on it, as well as his own material (of which he has quite a bit).

One of the best simple songwriters ever, IMHO.

[lunch998]

They did plenty of original stuff. And what they took from others, they actually improved with additions of their own.

But yeah, sheesh, make your own music. All of it! :angry:

Yea I know, I meant it as a joke.
(3 pages late)

[Badmoon]

Guys, I want to buy the Blusebreaker CD (the Beano one). Is it as good as everyone says it is?

:p you act as though you're a Clapton fan.

Yea, buy it.

[AngusGuitar357]

would ACDC be considered classic rock?

[jpj]

yes :thumb:

[RNR]

Yea I know, I meant it as a joke.
(3 pages late)

I get jokes (just not that time).

[lunch998]

It wasn't a very clear joke so I wasn't sure if you got it or not.

[jpj]

your joke made me sad :upset:

[lunch998]

your joke made me sad :upset:

Haha It was a cheap shot at Zeppelin. I don't think they will ever forgive me now :upset:

[CJR]

eddie van halen guitar way underrated
Smashing pumpkins already classic

[jpj]

i think eddie van halen gets all the credit he deserves and then some

[RNR]

eddie van halen guitar way underrated

Are you unable to use the word "are" or something?

[Broken Arrow]

Am I the first one to point out Paranoidd finally got an avatar? I'm no Bluesbreakers fan(havent heard much ) but I love the song Parchmen Farm

[jpj]

yea i think you are. i have the game he got that from, SUPER NES OWNS :thumb:

[jpj]

good lovin is a cool song. i didnt know it was a dead song until today when i was listenin to it on the supersecret website :thumb:

[Badmoon]

"Half my life...Spent doin' time, for some other ****er's crime" ~ Wharf Rat

That's a cool line.



We should make a top 20 best lyrical Classic Rock lines.

[Paranoidd]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

[StreetlightRock]

"it was a blind man who thought me how to see"

Blind Man - Aerosmith... was just playing, heh.

DVG.

[jpj]

"Half my life...Spent doin' time, for some other ****er's crime" ~ Wharf Rat

That's a cool line.



We should make a top 20 best lyrical Classic Rock lines.
like half of the lines in hurricane could be on that list imo

[jpj]

i like this one
"and to the black folks he was just a crazy ****** there was no doubt that he pulled the trigger"

[Broken Arrow]

I like the lyrics-"Love lost, such a cost give my things that wont get lost, like a coin that wont get tossed rolling home to you."

[lunch998]

I'm sure Pink Floyd has some great lines but I can't think of any specific examples. In general they have great lyrics though.

[the mighty zep]

The entire song Time could easily qualify

[lunch998]

I like the end section of Dogs. And most of the Wall has good lyrics.

[jpj]

"One of these days im gonna chop you up into little pieces" :lol:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

"Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don’t help them to bury the light
Don’t give in without a fight."

Hey You - God I love that song.

[Badmoon]

that's a verse

not a line...skank :p

[RNR]

" I wanna rock and roll all night, and pary every day".

Like Kiss or not it's a good line.

[lunch998]

Hey You has awesome lyrics though. Maybe we can do the Top 20 Verses and the Top 20 lines.
"Hey you, out there in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall."

[MalcolmYoungRock]

that's a verse

not a line...skank :p

Shut up! I know! Grr...

[Creedence Clearwater]

What is everyone heres favourite acoustic song, ie on e for me to learn on acoustic?

[Badmoon]

ripple - the g. dead

[Broken Arrow]

Babe Im Gonna leave You
Heart of Gold-Real easy but sounds good (especially if you can do the harmonica)

[RNR]

Neil Young- War of Man, hey hey my my (or was it the other way around> which one was electric?
Zeppelin- Babe i'm gonna leave you.
Eric Clapton- The entire unplugged album :p

[lunch998]

Bron-Yr-Aur off Physical Graffiti is really cool.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Going to California is simple except the tuning is a bit weird...

Other than that its fun.

[Broken Arrow]

Neil Young- War of Man, hey hey my my (or was it the other way around> which one was electric?
Zeppelin- Babe i'm gonna leave you.
Eric Clapton- The entire unplugged album :p
Especially Tears in Heaven-Not too hard

[RNR]

Yup. I just learned to play it (the whole thing, verses, fills, course, bridge and all). It was kind of hard, learning the entire thing and all. Mostly it was the new chords that gave me trouble.

[Creedence Clearwater]

Neil Young- War of Man, hey hey my my (or was it the other way around> which one was electric?
Zeppelin- Babe i'm gonna leave you.
Eric Clapton- The entire unplugged album :p

Yeah, I actually know 3 songs of unplugged, Tears, Layla and before you accuse me. I wil know go and get the tabs for babe I'm gonna leave you.

[Broken Arrow]

Babe Im gonna Leave You isnt that hard but playing it fast I find can be quite difficult.

[RNR]

I know Babe i'm gonna leave you too :)

*stupid 9 months of acoustic guitar before I got an electric :(*

[Creedence Clearwater]

Yup. I just learned to play it (the whole thing, verses, fills, course, bridge and all). It was kind of hard, learning the entire thing and all. Mostly it was the new chords that gave me trouble.

Playing it soon becomes automatic, a good way to start my fingerpicking, now I am learning the last bit of Vincent by Don McLean

[jpj]

Bron-Yr-Aur, babe im gonna leave you, going to california, and happy jack(acoustic version)

[RNR]

Playing it soon becomes automatic, a good way to start my fingerpicking, now I am learning the last bit of Vincent by Don McLean

Yes I know. If you play something enough it becomes automatic and you don't need to use your brain :)

[magicbus]

Neil Young- War of Man, hey hey my my (or was it the other way around> which one was electric?
Zeppelin- Babe i'm gonna leave you.
Eric Clapton- The entire unplugged album :p

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Layla Unplugged are a few of my favorite acoustic songs to play. Also I know Tears in Heaven. Thats a pretty fun one, especially improvising chords. For Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, I can play that pretty fast, but now I can't really play along with the cd without speeding up. :rolleyes:

I also really wanna learn Goodbye Blue Sky off The Wall. Love that song.

[thickasabrick]

:) I Love You All

/ in good mood right now

[Broken Arrow]

I feel bad putting down Zeppelin (in the Zeppelin thread) but theres too many people that are like Jimmy page is the best Guitarist.........ever

[guitrguy]

I love play to Babe "I'm Gonna Leave You" too.

[RNR]

I feel bad putting down Zeppelin (in the Zeppelin thread) but theres too many people that are like Jimmy page is the best Guitarist.........ever

Well he's not. But many would ay that Led Zeppelin is the best band ever and Page is the lead guitarist of that band.

Can't argue with that :)

[jpj]

:) I Love You All

None of that in the classic rock thread. We may double as a hippy thread but I'll have none of it :mad:

[jpj]

Homophobe!!!!!!!! :angry:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Remember kids, it's the "Classic Rock" thread not the "Raging Homosexuals" thread.

[jpj]

:lol:i guess you're right :thumb:

[magicbus]

Roger that :thumb:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

We should hire Zakath as our guard against fags. He can flame them out of the thread.

[RNR]

He hates any music that you can understand the words to. I bet he wont accept.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Anyway thats getting off topic...

Lets see...

We don't discuss Van Halen much. Lets do it?

[jpj]

Ultra Bass makes me happy

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I personally liked their first ablum. My favorite track on it was "Ain't talking bout love"

[lunch998]

Up with the Hippy thread. But down on the homosexuality.

[Badmoon]

Homophobe!!!!!!!!

You bet your sweet ***.

[RUSHnutGUITARIST]

****in aye, im only 15 and i am also a classic rock nut. Ur a smart fella to cus there is a lot of us out there. the older it gets the more fans it gets. i would rather see the doors in concert over nickleback any day. i dont mind some of the newer punk rock but some of it is just ****ing retarted. i dont think playing 3 chords fast should get so much credit. classic rock is a lot more technical than new, and it sounds a lot better. thats just my opinion though. newho, yep classic rock is the ****. rock on, and rock out.

Josh

[jpj]

is eat a peach a live album?

[Spectrum]

Why, RUSHnutGUITARIST should be congratulated for posting his first post ever in the greatest of all threads.

[RNR]

Indeed he should. And a fine post (though in responce to the first post after about 5 months of the thread being open :eek: ) at that :)

[jpj]

well do you really expect them to read all 302 pages?




<---------i hopped on the black and white avatar band wagon

[RNR]

yes

[jpj]

you have extrmely high expectations that can never be reached

[RNR]

Yes, I do.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Eh, I'm over the 1k post thing... Must make black and white avatar and be trendy!

[jpj]

yes you must :thumb:

[RNR]

Eh, I'm over the 1k post thing... Must make black and white avatar and be trendy!

That would help. i could give you one of wayne from wayne's world.

[jpj]

wayn's world is such a kickass movie! but the second one kinda sucked

[MalcolmYoungRock]

The Second one was kind of weird. Waynestock? But it had its laughs.

[Seafroggys]

Well.................................Whats your favourite Beatles Album?

Mine:Magical Mystery Tour

A little late, but I'm not on here all day like most people.

Abbey road, with white album in second.

[jpj]

yea, i dont think it lived up to its full potential...wayne's world 2 that is

[jpj]

im all by myself in the classic rock thread...im so bored and I thought a week off of school would be fun :upset:



GOD**** FLOOD :angry:

[magicbus]

I'm in here now. But class ends in 5 minutes, so no more computer. Also don't invite Zakath in here.

[jpj]

yea, that sounded like a bad idea

[Paranoidd]

Zakath?

[jpj]

they were going to get him to keeo the gayness out of the thread

[slowhand]

Little late, but I'll try to say my opinion in some of the random topics you guys covered and whatnot.

-Favorite Beatles album: The White Album (While My Guitar Gently Weeps rocks!)
-Cool acoustic song: Yesterday, While My Guitar Gently Weeps (there is an acoustic version, look for it in the Beatles Anthology 3) and Across the Universe, all Beatles songs.

And some of the best classic rock lyrics:
"And in the end, the love you take it's equal to the love you make" - 'The End' by the Beatles

"Beware of sadness, it can hit you, it can hurt you, make you sorrow and what it's more, that is not why you are here for" - 'Beware of Darkness' by George Harrison

"I may appear to be imperfect, but my love is something you can't reject" - 'Old Brown Shoe' by the Beatles

"All I have is yours, all you see is mine" - 'I'd Have you Anytime' by George Harrison and Bob Dylan. <-- Good one for a girlfriend.

" 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" - 'Purple Haze' by Jimi Hendrix

[lunch998]

My avatar colorful and uncool. ****....

[slowhand]

Well, my avatar is in black and white because that's the only good Clapton picture that I could get of him in 1968 (I think that was his best period... or at least the time when I think he looks cooler than the rest). If not mine could have been anything else. Don't feel bad, you're a non-conformist, and sometimes, that's a good thing.

Anyways, why don't we talk about good classic rock bands that are unkown, instead of talking about the popular ones?

[Paranoidd]

Nobody ever talks about Johnny Winter :(

[slowhand]

Well.. I've never heard of him.

What songs of his are like.. famous. Maybe I've heard it... I dunno.

[Paranoidd]

Seriously?

Johnny Winter rocks, if you like blues. Google it, you'll see him pop up everywhere.

He's still alive, too. Albino guy with long white hair, really trippy looking. Great guitarist and musician, definitely check him out. Progressive Blues and Second Winter are great CD's.

His brother was Edgar winter, who did that song Frankenstein.

[Broken Arrow]

I know him he was in the lastest issue of Guitar World? or Guitar One?

"Father"
"Yes Son"
"Im going to kill you"-The End-The Doors

[lunch998]

Well.. I've never heard of him.

Thats usually the problem with talking about classic rock bands that aren't popular.

[magicbus]

Guitar World. I read about him. Also I thought of the same lyrics when I read the post about the Beatles' The End.

[Paranoidd]

Yes he was, I haven't read all of that issue yet. Poor guy looks really bad these days.

[slowhand]

Maybe I'll check him out. I'm really getting into the mood of looking the not-so-well-known classic rock artist. A friend and I start introduce each other to different sort of bands and things. He's the one who first made me listen to Blind Faith (which I love) and I got him into Cream.

So yeah, hopefully I'll find new artist that are cool. And now that I'm getting heavily into blues rock, I might check out this Johnny Winter as well.

Thats usually the problem with talking about classic rock bands that aren't popular.

I think the actual problem is that, because the fact that not all of us know a certain muscician or band, we tend not to talk about them.

[lunch998]

Thats what I was trying to say.

[slowhand]

Then... I agree?

Now, more unknown, cool classic rock bands!

[Paranoidd]

Sam Gopal. Really good 60's psychedelic rock band.

You'd never guess who the singer was.

[slowhand]

I don't know if that's a trick question or not...

[Paranoidd]

He's a good bass player, and he's in a band which has put out consistently good albums for the past 20-30 years.

Hearing him sing on a pyschedelic album is just plain cool.

[jpj]

uh...sunny leslie :confused:

[Paranoidd]

Nope...Lemmy of Motorhead.

They only did one album that I know of: Sam Gopal - Escalator

And for blusey/pysch rock, it's pretty good.

[jpj]

circuit city disagrees

[I Wish to remain unnamed]

in my school everybody isnt into classic rock...theyre all into heavy metal, grunge, and rap

[jpj]

:thumb: here have a cookie

[Paranoidd]

circuit city disagrees

Circuit city?

Here, look:

[jpj]

i went to their website to listen to some soundclips of the sam gopal cd and it also gives the credits on the album. it didnt say anything about lemmy. did he only play with them live or something?

[Paranoidd]

Nope, he did lead guitar, bass, and vocals on the album.

[jpj]

ah, i guess circuit city isnt as reliable as i thought :upset:

[Badmoon]

He's a good bass player, and he's in a band which has put out consistently good albums for the past 20-30 years.

Hawkwind

[jpj]

so what time is the debate at?

[Badmoon]

night

[MalcolmYoungRock]

in my school everybody isnt into classic rock...theyre all into heavy metal, grunge, and rap


It's funny when these type of people only read the first page and say "Oh Em Geez0rs ThAt iS sO LiKe Me!!11" They don't know that they are interrupting a conversation. Read please, not just the first page but the other 300 something pages.

[Broken Arrow]

It's better when they quote the first page

[thickasabrick]

sorry if i'm interupting a conversation...but i was just reading the last page. someone was mentioning johnny winter? i have an edger winter group album and i like it. does johnny winter do the same kind of music as his brother (they are brothers right?) or does he do different stuff?

[RNR]

Will the debate be tonight or tomorrow?
