dark sarccasum in the classroom

[thickasabrick]

guitrguy, what bands do you listen to at the moment? are you interested in prog rock, blues, folk etc etc?

[guitarted838]

HEY! TEACHER! Leave them kids alone

[magicbus]

How about The Byrds? Kinda like The Beatles.

[guitarted838]

All in all your just another brick in the wall

[guitarted838]

Pink Floyd

[guitrguy]

guitrguy, what bands do you listen to at the moment? are you interested in prog rock, blues, folk etc etc?
I actaully like them all, I'm really into SRV, Clapton, B.B. King, etc

[guitrguy]

How about The Byrds? Kinda like The Beatles.
Ya their good.

Im really diggin' the Blue Cheer. Thanks man.

[magicbus]

For blues, how about Johnny Winter?

[guitrguy]

I'll check him out.

[thickasabrick]

does anyone here listen to jethro tull?? or how about more prog stuff like Emerson Lake and Palmer? Tull is one of my favourite bands, im just getting into ELP and i find their music really interesting.

[guitrguy]

I listen to Jethro Tull

[JonG]

"guitarted" and "ihateposerz" need to go commit suicide now, before ruining this thread even more. You talk like you just came from a foreign country and don't know an ounce of English. Especially if you're not going to post something considerate to the thread. As for classic rock, it's my favorite genre of music and I'm pretty sure it will be until I die. My favorite musician would be Jimmy Page, and most unique band either Pink Floyd or Jethro Tull. Their is my 2 cents, enjoy.


*EDIT*

For the guy with the Dylan avatar, for blues go for Albert Lee, John Hiatt, and Chet Atkins.

[magicbus]

Yea I was recommend ELP by my uncle after I told him how much I liked Any Colour You Like. Haven't gotten around to chekcin them out yet though. Any starting suggestions?

And for Tull. They're awesome. Love the flute man.

[Schyma]

How about insane pychedllic......Syd Barrett

[guitrguy]

Thanks Jon.

[thickasabrick]

hahaha my uncle got me into ELP too. their music is more classically based than like blues or other stuff. lots of keys and synthesizers. they were really the first band to start using the synthesiser in their songs as a main instrument, not just for cool effects. i only have one album of theirs, but if you download "the endless enigma" you might like it. its kind of an epic, it has two parts to it so its like ten minutes long. crazy piano parts. if you dont like piano/keyboards i dont suggest them.

[guitrguy]

How about insane pychedllic......Syd Barrett
Yes the original Pink Floyd. I don't know any posers who listen to old Pink Floyd

[magicbus]

Muddy Waters is the King of the Blues. :thumb:

[guitrguy]

Muddy Waters is the King of the Blues. :thumb:
Ya, I did a report on him because he came from Mississippi.

[magicbus]

I love the keyboards, and I love the 15 minute instrumentals. I think I'll like this album :thumb:

If it makes you feel better i will type out full and complete words now.
Oh and jimmy page is my favorite musician too.

what album are you talking about????

[keep on phishin']

He's everyone's favorite musician these days isnt he.....

[guitrguy]

You all like Bo Diddley?

[JonG]

Mud is pretty good, I also have read some on him.. Tull is good because of the originality, I can't get enough originality in a band, something different is always good, instead of lead,guitar,bass and drums. Ray Manzarek would be my favorite (besides Jethro) for oddball instruments.

[guitarted838]

He's everyone's favorite musician these days isnt he.....

I liked Jimmy Page before i knew he was so popular. Just because a whole bunch of people say they like him wont make me change my mind.

[JonG]

I just like him for infleuncing music history and rock n' roll, not to mention some of the easiest licks on the guitar that stay in your head for days, and you concentrate to get out. I also liked him on the Yardbirds, suprised they weren't as big as Zeppelin, since Page and EC together is pure bliss.

[RNR]

He's everyone's favorite musician these days isnt he.....

He used to me my favorite. But pretty much this thread has changed me for the better and now page is one of my favorites but certainly not my favorite. Mark Knopfler or Jeff Healey are my favorite musicians now :)

[thickasabrick]

jimmy page is my favourite musician and im not afraid to admit it. some people think led zeppelin is just a "fad" because brand name stores are selling their shirts now. i am proud to say i have never purchased a shirt from one of these stores. i actually respect jimmy page for his skills as a musician, not just because hes "cool"

[guitarted838]

Jon im sorry I didn't use good grammar before....can you level with me?

[Schyma]

Muddy Waters is the King of the Blues. :thumb:

Ropert Johnson kicks the **** out out of Mr.Watters.

[Badmoon]

Favorite Musician - needless to say

[guitrguy]

Ropert Johnson kicks the **** out out of Mr.Watters.
Watters owns Page though.

[Schyma]

Hmmmm...Agreed

[guitarted838]

Who do you think the best drummers ever are?

[guitrguy]

Jon Bonham is a given.

[guitarted838]

ya.

[magicbus]

SUPRISE SUPRISE. Jimmy Page is overrated.

[Badmoon]

Keith Moon - The Who
Matt Abts - Gov't Mule
Mickey Hart - The Grateful Dead

[magicbus]

I'd say Moon.

OH. I forgot Ginger Baker too.

[Schyma]

Yes the original Pink Floyd. I don't know any posers who listen to old Pink Floyd

You wont because only the cool people like Syd....... :cool:

[guitrguy]

SUPRISE SUPRISE. Jimmy Page is overrated.
Omg omg HE CAN'T BE!!!!!!1!111!!! Say it ain't so.

[thickasabrick]

i'd say bonzo, mitch mitchell and umm maybe keith moon. im not a drummer though

[magicbus]

Omg omg HE CAN'T BE!!!!!!1!111!!! Say it ain't so.

I know :naughty:

[Badmoon]

I'm getting to record a 24 hour radio show each week for my school's radio club :D

[guitrguy]

You wont because only the cool people like Syd....... :cool:
I find it funny when people think Pink Floyd started around the time of The Wall.

[Badmoon]

Butch Trucks is a great drummer too.

[Schyma]

SUPRISE SUPRISE. Jimmy Page is overrated.

Yes Yes we know

[RNR]

Neil Peart.
Mitch Mitchell (maybe not, i'm still going to include him)
John Bonham
Keith Moon
Tom Stephen- Jeff Healey band. Again, not the best but the guy has mad skills.

Umm i'm not a drummer. So I just know who I like :thumb:

[magicbus]

Yes Yes we know

Thanks buddy! :thumb:

[RNR]

anyone want to start a chat? We're getting a little spammy in here.

[guitrguy]

What do you all think of Bo Diddly?

[Schyma]

I find it funny when people think Pink Floyd started around the time of The Wall.

I dont I think its sad :upset: Oh well :(

[thickasabrick]

my brothers a drummer and he always tells me how good neil peart is. i'm a fan of rush, but i cant hear whats so great about him. can someone recommend some good songs that may showcase neils playing? thanks

[Schyma]

Robbie Krieger is in the top 10 believe it because its true.

[Schyma]

guitrguy get in the chat. And anyone else if they have AIM. Room name is "mxclassicrock"

I ohh dont have AIM :upset:

[RockAndRoll]

Steve Gadd > all

Take a bus gus...

[RockAndRoll]

Listen to the solo on the "live" album. It's good.

[thickasabrick]

Robbie Krieger is in the top ten for what??

[guitrguy]

Well that chat fell apart.

[RockAndRoll]

Robbie Krieger is in the top ten for what??
Drummers i guess.. even though he isn't one.

[Schyma]

For the flaminko of course. Just attempt to play "Spanish Caravan".

[Schyma]

Drummers i guess.. even though he isn't one.

O sorry for that I ment guitar top 10 :lol:

[thickasabrick]

ya i love his guitar playing. i have tried to sound like him but i dont know what scales he uses. im only good with the blues scale really :upset:

[RUSHnutGUITARIST]

am i the only person that thinks Kurt Kobain is extremely OVER rated? how does someone like that beat Angus Young in the top 100 guitar players. I do like Kobain but i dont think he is as good as everyone thinks. What do u think?

[guitrguy]

This is a Classic Rock thread n00b.

[RockAndRoll]

He's not an amzingly skilled guitarist, but that's just one aspect of music.

[Badmoon]

How does someone like Angus Young make it on a 100 best guitarist list?

[guitrguy]

How does someone like Angus Young make it on a 100 best guitarist list?
I dunno, pop culture maybe?

[thickasabrick]

im a big fan of angus young. i think angus young was amazing at what he did, unfortuntely he always stuck to the same pattern and style. so he never actually grew as a guitarist. compared to guys like Gilmour, Hendrix, Page etc etc who expanded their playing to many different styles and also made their own style, angus young always did the same thing.

[clown_phobia]

ii can't believe eddie van halen was 72nd...

[RockAndRoll]

ii can't believe eddie van halen was 72nd...
meh he doesn't do it for me.

Angus young is to repetitive, he's good at what he does but that seems to entail very little.

[thickasabrick]

ya i dont like van halen either. i respect his talent, but he just isnt what im looking for in a guitarist he seems to be too much flash, not enough feeling.
plus he said Page plays guitar like a two year old with a broken hand, which find terribly rude to say about one of your guitar elders.

[RockAndRoll]

better like a two year old than like a robot.

[Maggot Dream]

van halen definitely shoulda been further up, he's one of the only guitarists of that time to create his own style. (Along with Randy Rhoads)

[Paranoidd]

Robbie Kreiger has alot of cool songs. I'd say he's definitely a great songwriter, not necessarily a technical player.

No to be a dick, but if you can't hear whats great about Neil Peart, you have absolutely no musical awareness.

Listen to Xanadu, O Baterista, 2112, listen to his shuffle on Subdivisions, pretty much any track should be able to showcase his skills.

His creativity, syncopation, limb independance, precision, all are nearly unmatched.

[RockAndRoll]

Ya but his style was show off. It's boring if you ask me.

Gadd > Peart!

[RNR]

How does someone like Angus Young make it on a 100 best guitarist list?

His stuff is fun to listen to. What more do you really need?

[RockAndRoll]

His stuff is fun to listen to. What more do you really need?
I find it only being fun to listen to for pump up stuff, but for that it's good.

[Paranoidd]

Gadd > Peart!

Harsh words. Prove it.

[thickasabrick]

paranoidd: i have really only heard a couple songs by rush, closer to the heart being the only one i have listening to enough to learn the song. all of their songs i have just focused on learning the guitar parts, i havent really focused on the drumming parts.
and when it comes to picking out good drumming, i probably dont have very good ears anyway. my brother drums all day long so i have tried to learn to tune it out. ;)

[RockAndRoll]

Harsh words. Prove it.
well for starters Gadd > all.
Listen to aja, be shocked and awed at gadd's amazing ability. Then realize he sight read that.

Warning: heavy breathing, fainting and death may occur.

Listen to fifty ways to leave your lover (best groove ever and I can play it :D)
this man has the best feel ever.

Listen to his stuff on drummerworld.com, Like I said Gadd > all.

[thickasabrick]

who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.

edit- while we are talking about drummers...what does everyone think of mitch mitchell? if i was a drummer, i would wanna play like him.

[RockAndRoll]

who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.
He's drummed for alot of people. But he's more of a freelance guy than a band member. He has being playing for clapton for a while now though, he tours with him and played on me and mr. johnson, possibly some other of his albums too, I don't know.

[RNR]

who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.

Same, us non drumming folks only know the main ones.

[thickasabrick]

oh cool, do you know any songs that i could identify him with?

[Paranoidd]

who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.

edit- while we are talking about drummers...what does everyone think of mitch mitchell? if i was a drummer, i would wanna play like him.

I heart Mitch Mitchell.

Meh, I'm sure there are tons of better drummers than Peart, however most great drummers get involved with Jazz, due to it's improv and tricky timing tendencies.

I don't know if Peart could do Gadd, or vice versa.

[Paranoidd]

These videos better be good, I had to download stupid quicktime to watch them.

[RNR]

Everyone already knows that Mitch Mitchell is my favorite drummer. I love his technique. It doesn't get in the way of Jimi but it also makes the songs better.

[RockAndRoll]

I heart Mitch Mitchell.

I don't know if Peart could do Gadd, or vice versa.
I honestly don't think anyone could do gadd, I just love his feel.

Jazz drumming awesome though, loads of legends are jazz drummers, too bad all the kids think they're nothing compared to travis!

[RNR]

haha, yeah. But they're just ignorant. I feel sorry for them.

[thickasabrick]

oh my lord..thats quite the resume (is that the word im looking for?) he's got there. i've heard a lot of stuff from most of those artists..im really impressed.

so whats Gadd's first (or maybe last im not sure) name?

[RockAndRoll]

These videos better be good, I had to download stupid quicktime to watch them.
The videos are worth it. and while you're on there check out some of the drum battles, tis why drums >guitar. :p
Have you heard aja and fifty ways to leave your lover? they're probably his two most popular works and with good reason.

[RockAndRoll]

oh my lord..thats quite the resume (is that the word im looking for?) he's got there. i've heard a lot of stuff from most of those artists..im really impressed.

so whats Gadd's first (or maybe last im not sure) name?
Steve, Steve Gadd.

[thickasabrick]

im a huge fan of jazz music. every night when i come home from teaching guitar, i turn to the classical radio station because they have the jazz and blues hour every night at ten. its awesome to just unwind and indulge in some jazz as im driving home after a long night.

more people should listen to jazz...if not for the actual music, just for the inspiration.

[Paranoidd]

Well I'm watching the videos, and he is an excellent drummer. I think Peart is just as capable.

[RockAndRoll]

Well I'm watching the videos, and he is an excellent drummer. I think Peart is just as capable.
I don't I think peart is amazing, great drummer. But I watch gadd and I am just completely blown away. It makes me want to either a) give up b)play drums every second of my life.

[thickasabrick]

what are you guys basing your judgement on, speed? style? technical ability? i dont know the etiquette behind criticizing drummers.

thats right....i used the word etiquette

[Paranoidd]

I guess you have to have seen him live. I mean, playing rock and playing jazz you're going to sound different. Playing the insane shuffle and timing that Gadd does is what every jazz drummer tries to do. Peart can do similar stuff, I've seen it. Maybe Gadd is better, I don't care, it's a stupid thing to argue about. You can compare Paul Bostaph and Dave Lombardo but you don't compare Cozy Powell and Danny Carey.

[RockAndRoll]

what are you guys basing your judgement on, speed? style? technical ability? i dont know the etiquette behind criticizing drummers.

thats right....i used the word etiquette
not speed, all the pros are fast enough it doesn't matter. Style, musicality, technical ability. The thing I love about gadds drumming is it opens up so many new possibilities for songs because it's not just "wow look how fast he is" good, he's incredible technically and combined with his musicality....

[gobelhieser]

Alvin Lee of Ten years after is a suberb guitarist and songwriter. Ten years after is one of the greatest blues rock (classic rock as well) bands of all time. Im sure everyone would recoginze the song "I'd love to change the world" if they heard it, and say 'oh yeah!, they're great'.

Personally, I'm looking at speed, limb independance, cadence, structure, creativity/composition, overall rythym, ability to fit the music, etc.

I mean, Peart uses a big kit compared to most drummers. Gadd's in miniscule compared to Peart's, who goes all the way around. I mean, Peart does latin percussion, woodblocks, electronic triggers, etc. It's difficult to compare them unless they were both playing the same thing.

[thickasabrick]

about the whole speed thing...i noticed lots of metal drummers these days are using double kick bass drum dealys. is that just to make up for lack of talent? or is it just for a more deep "metal" sound?

[RockAndRoll]

I've seen them both live. I don't really care, I'm not in this to prove to you anything, I think showing you gadd is enough. But for me Gadd is the man, he is my main inspiration.

[RockAndRoll]

It's not to make up for a lack of talent you simply can't go as fast with one foot as you can with two, but honestly I don't care for metal.

[RNR]

about the whole speed thing...i noticed lots of metal drummers these days are using double kick bass drum dealys. is that just to make up for lack of talent? or is it just for a more deep "metal" sound?

A lot of it is just for it to be heavier. Though metal drumming mostly doesn't require rythem or even much skill to fit the sound. But the great metal drummers know how to make it sound even better. It's easy to do but hard to do well.

[Paranoidd]

about the whole speed thing...i noticed lots of metal drummers these days are using double kick bass drum dealys. is that just to make up for lack of talent? or is it just for a more deep "metal" sound?

These days?

They've been around for over twenty years man. It's for speed, and the ability to get a precise syncopation that you would otherwise be unable to do. It doesn't necessarily mean lack of talent, most of the well known rock drummers have a double bass.

[RockAndRoll]

I couldn't care less about speed, at that level there's no one who really needs to be faster. WAtch the Drum battles! I've got to be heading to bed though bye!

[thickasabrick]

Oh ok..I was just wondering cuz these guys did a gig at my school and the drummer did a solo. One of my friends (who drums) said it was crap because all he did was play the double kicks as fast as he could while randomly hitting the cymbals. I dont know a lot about drumming, and even less about metal.

Alot of drummers do that, it's overdone and boring though.

[RNR]

Well, that guy sucked. Anybody can hit the drums fast. It's all about maintaining a solid rythem and doing fills and rolls to help the progression of the song. And a drum solo should show not just speed but fast variations and poly-rythems as well. The poly-rythem has escaped most metal drummers.

[thickasabrick]

you guys know your stuff....im going to bed though, i have too much stuff rolling around in my head now.

[RNR]

Hahaha, alright then. See ya.

[Paranoidd]

I'm still here for now.

Organizing my books of CD's...into new/heavy and old.

[RNR]

He, mr organized orgaanizes stuff that needs to be organized...

By the way your last 4 rants or so... brilliant :)

[Paranoidd]

Really?!

Thanks, I thought they were weak! That's the best thing I've heard in this weekend from hell.

I'm watching The Breakfest Club on a saturday night. How hurting is that.

This is the first night in about a month I haven't gone out...third night in a month I haven't smoked dope. And it has been one of the most stressful weekends in recent memory.

I watched the holy trinity of movies tonight

Trainspotting
A Clockwork Orange
Breakfest Club

[guitrguy]

Bumpzor!!!

[Paranoidd]

Good morning...I guess.

[Shred Danson]

All I have to say is Lynyrd Skynyrd. I can listen to them forever. (me=redneck :) )

[Paranoidd]

For some reason I can't really get into Skynyrd except for the cliche tracks like Freebird, Tuesdays Gone, etc.

It pisses me off when that happens...I know it's good music I just can't get into it :upset:

[Shred Danson]

yeah, same with me. I know Judas Priest is a great band, but I never got into them too much.

[Paranoidd]

Yeh I'm the same with Priest. Phish too.

[Shred Danson]

although Les Claypool is a great bass player.

[Shred Danson]

wait was he in Phish? ****!

[Shred Danson]

oh wait, Claypool was in Primus. Goddam,n I'm an idiot

[Paranoidd]

Haha.

Claypool has a few projects, he's awesome.

Phish just recently broke up, and I've tried listening to their music but it does nothing for me.

I'm the same way with Dylan...I appreciate and respect him, but don't enjoy the tunes.

[Shred Danson]

I dont really like Bob Dylan's voice...****ing annoying.

[Shred Danson]

Well, so is Ozzy's voice, but hey, he's awesome :thumb:

[Shred Danson]

Anyway, I'll post later, the bell is about to ring...(****ing school)

[guitrguy]

Haha.

*is estatic*

Hey, ive not been here in a while, so i got alot a reading to do. Anyway, it was my Birthday 40 minutes ago and my frineds got me a biography on Jim Morrison and the How the West Was Won DVD and the GnR greatest hits CD. All so f'ing cool.

DVG.

[magicbus]

How does someone like Angus Young make it on a 100 best guitarist list?


That's what I'm wondering.

[Shred Danson]

Angus made the list because he wrote the same ****ing song over and over again, but they were all kick *** songs. He sure knows how to make a G major chord kick ***! :lol:

[Paranoidd]

Happy birthday!

Unfortunately that GnR CD aint too good. Too many covers.

[slowhand]

Wow, it's a shame to see what happened with this thread. It was kind of annoying to read some of the post by people who think it's a chat and have to post non-stop.

Happy birthday!

Unfortunately that GnR CD aint too good. Too many covers.

That's the same thing I said about that CD. I saw it and it was like what, 3/4 covers or something like that? They should've put more originals there... anyways, I've never been a GnR fan.

I'm still trying to find the Rolling Stones Rock 'n Roll Circus. Tony Iommi plays guitar for Jethro Tull for the first and only time. John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards (on bass!!) and Mitch Mitchell perform as a group dubbed the Dirty Mac for this one time and the first time Lennon plays without the Beatles and is playing a Beatles song (Yer Blues)! The Who plays their rock operas live and is the last gig that will feature the original line up of the Rolling Stones since Brian Jones would die a few months later... I want it!

[jpj]

is it a cd or dvd or something :confused: whatever it is it sounds kickass

EDIT: also if guitarted838 comes back in here i was right the first time. YOU ARE ****ING RETARDED! now get out of rock not roll's thread

[Iwannarock]

Dude i am going to. its gonna shake the ages. plus people wanna see rock not screaming losers on stage shaking their hair. youll see ill be rockin out like the greatest did. you know led zeppelin, ac/dc, the who, the doors, bad company, cream, van halen, free, forigner, mountain, bto, lynyrd skynrd, pink floyd, jimi hendrix. man all of them.

Ok I missed alot last night here's my story:
Last night when i was playing hockey, I got tripped skating backwards. I fell straight on my ***. I went to the hospital and they havent said wether i broke my tailbone or not yet,but i did get x-rays.

So does anyone like Reggae?

[Paranoidd]

That sucks man, tailbone takes FOREVER to heal...

It's nice to know somebody is playing hockey. Gary Bettman can kiss my arse, lousy bastard.

Reggae? I don't mind some Bob Marley, but I hate that Sean Paul type crap.

[Woodstock]

Hello, god I cant read the previous pages, so annoying.

We were talking about ELP. Anyone own Trilogy?

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah I like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh mostly deffinatly not Sean Paul

There are no need for piano tabs, you can get straight notation.

Werewolves of London is awesome :). I thought that the dead wrote it, until now. You learn something every day in the good ol' CRT.

[TTTSNB]

I've noticed kids only liking popular and well known Classic Rock bands, like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, ect...

They missout on some of the greatest lesser known Classic rock bands. Like The Byrds, or Buffalo Springfield, Big Brother and Holding Company, The Velvet Underground, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Van Morrison, ect. Most of those bands were pretty big in their day, but the kids these days aren't looking for those bands. Usually, they are looking for the heavier, or louder types, but that's only the kids I know.
Ive heard alot about the Velvet Underground, what do they sound like? would like to know before I buy any of their albums.

Ok. Let's see.

The Byrds
When first having been shown 'Light My Fire', the keyboardist declares: "It sounds like the byrds".
And that's all I have to say about that.

Buffalo Springfield
Never Heard of 'em.

Big Brother and Holding Company
Never Heard of 'em. :p

The Velvet Underground
Of course I know about these guys - they rule.
:)

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
They played at woodstock.

Van Morrison
Yeah I know them.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

You guys post too fast :(

What's been going on recently since my last post?

NO, I will not read :p

Buffalo Springfield is a slightly more rock-ish CSN&Y. It had Young and Stills in it. I'm not sure about the others.

I sooo can't tell you're a Lennon fan.






































*Me too.

[RNR]

It's almost His 64th birthday :) i'm going to listen to his solo albums and break a jazz record (a crappy one most likely) in celebration.

[guitrguy]

I'm going to pick up legends tomorrow.

[RockAndRoll]

why break a jazz record?

[RNR]

Because Lennon hated Jazz. And Lennon>Jazz.

[guitrguy]

I never got into jazz. I think the blues is so much better.

[RockAndRoll]

Because Lennon hated Jazz. And Lennon>Jazz.
he did? relgiously or did he just dislike it?

[RNR]

Umm, in his biography it says "he hated Jazz with a firey passion". He insulted it many times on TV and live radio and in many articles. All of the beatles did (the original beatles that is).

I like Jazz. But Lennon zwns. So i'll break some crappy 2nd rate jazz album.

[guitrguy]

The original? Like Pre-ringo?

[RNR]

I don't think ringo had a problem with it. But who cares about Ringo anyway?

[guitrguy]

lol, I dont know what you mean by the "original" beatles.

I envy my heroes for their good qualities not the bad ones!

[RNR]

John Lennon, Paul Mcartny (sp :( ), George Harrsion and Pete Best. And I think some bass player who nobody cared about.

[guitrguy]

Thats what I meant by pre-Ringo

[RNR]

Well good for you.

[Badmoon]

Yeah, but Lennon liked Country/Folk/Bluegrass. So, he makes up for the jazz hate in my book.

[RockAndRoll]

Well good for you.
hahah write him a song that'll make him happy! Then you must share it with us.

[RNR]

Yes, I don't really care if he didn't like Jazz because i'm not that big of a fan of it anyway.


This thread did 500 posts yesterday and 50 or so today :(.

[guitrguy]

Most of it was spam

*cough* guitarded *cough*

[jpj]

we ragged on him pretty hard in the chat room. i feel bad.

[RNR]

Pfft, this just means that he will be better when he returns from the banning. I'm sick of spam in this thread.

I might write a song, and I might not. I'll call it... the lennon song! Get it? Kind of like Zeppelin's Lemon song? hahahaha

...No? :(

[guitrguy]

I think that would be cool.

Sorry to bring this back but, my dad owns Trilogy and I must say The Endless Enigma kicks ***. :thumb:

Don't worry about bringin it up, its hard to stay on track here.

I'll have to check out Trilogy.

Listening to Mahavishnu Orchestra, good stuff. :)

(technically jazz/rock fusion, but they're from the 70's, close enough)

We need to all make good music together, it would be good. :) when i come to chicago we're making a live album badmoon!

[Schyma]

So anyone there?

[b1u1ce]

Does anyone know who plays the song "Spirit in the sky" ? I hear it on the classic rock station all the time, and I'm pretty sure theres different covers of it. Anyone know which one would be the 'rock' classic version of this song ?

[thelizardkingcc]

norm greenburg plays spirit in the sky

[RNR]

Elton John's version is the closest to rock.

[clown_phobia]

I'm listening to Led Zeppelin's self titled debut. I love this album.

We try not to talk about them here. They're like the Metallica of classic rock. However...

I'd day it's their best. More blues and folk and less hard rock. They could rock but I like their acoustic stuff such as Babe i'm gonna leave you, the best. Also Bluesy songs such as You hook Me and I can't quit you baby are awesome. And I guess good times bad times and Communication breakdown are good too.

Everyone get in a comment or two and then no moore zeppelin talk for a while.

[RNR]

No.

Discuss Mahavishnu Orchestra, or prepare to be castrated.

Never heard of them and I don't know where to get any music by them :(. Think you could send me a sample song on AIM or something?

[clown_phobia]

it's still a good album.

I never said it wasn't. It's a great album. We just prefer not to talk about them here.

Ya since no one has really changed the subject...lets talk about john lee hooker.
In my opinion he is the most blues of all blues artists. I love the songs that are just him, his guitar, and his foot tapping along. Thats so downright blues it makes stevie ray vaughan look like a pop singer.

Awesome! I really like that song. It's a bit boring and repetitive for about 2 minutes at one point but otherwise it's really good. Their guitarist can really play.

[thickasabrick]

oh ok lets just put down my whole post because i forgot the word rockabilly....blues is blues no matter what anyone says. pretty soon people like you are going to be inventing genres such as nu-blues and bluescore and deathblues.

ok i flipped out sorry....someone start up a converstion here the loneliness is killing me and im useless in any metal related threads.

Yea that song is a bit drawn out, but it's the only mp3 I could find that I thought would give a good representation of them.

[thickasabrick]

does anyone know what happened to stevie ray vaughans guitar?? number one. some people said it was buried with him..im not sure what to believe.

[RNR]

Lol nu blues. That would suck. I really don't think that's going to happen. But I think blues is due for a strong comback. never heard of this hooker fellow.

Yea that song is a bit drawn out, but it's the only mp3 I could find that I thought would give a good representation of them.
