Classic Rock

[guitrguy]

:lol:. 10 Months ago when I started to play guitar I asked about my teacher's poster. It was of Jimi Hendrix :(.

That one hurt :(
wow....
I hope your sarcastic.

[Badmoon]

i dont even know how to actually play rock on the guitar. it just turns into blues or bluegrass without me noticing.......maybe there isn't such a thing as rock n roll.

In my opinion, Bluegrass can not be farther away from Blues.

I have spent so long to get the perfect Bluegrass song. I can get it on my guitar, but banjo is a differenr story.

[thickasabrick]

hahahahahahaha

ya when i started playing guitar i always asked about pictures in my teachers room.

its funny because the poster i have of SRV has his name written in big letters right under it and people still asked who it was. (a man holding playing a guitar...and his name right under it. can't you just assume the man is a guitarist)

edit - to rock not rolls last post.

[RNR]

i dont even know how to actually play rock on the guitar. it just turns into blues or bluegrass without me noticing.......maybe there isn't such a thing as rock n roll.

It's actually harder to play those than rock. Rock is a few powerchords spread out and maybe a cool little riff in between. A medium speed solo and you're done. It revolves around verse and chorus riffs and maybe a few fills. It's also i nthe tone of your guitar.

:lol:. 10 Months ago when I started to play guitar I asked about my teacher's poster. It was of Jimi Hendrix :(.

Ouch

[Shakedown]

Blues infuenced rock is a good choice and you can tell right away. usually it will have a piano in it and a somewhat faster beat. Also the lead singer will sing in a style where he will almost slurr his words together and add in a "mmmhmmm" or "Lordy Lordy" just for good measure.

[thickasabrick]

badmoon you have a banjo? are you any good? i wanna banjo to play bluegrass on. i've tried playing them in stores but im no good.
ya i realize blues and bluegrass are totally different, but those are my two favourite types of music to play on guitar.

edit - my guitar teacher was in an amazing bluegrass duo that toured england and america for years, and did stuff on bbc. now hes back in good ol' saskatchewan...land of no talent musicians. hes teaching me all he knows about bluegrass. its so fun to play.

[Badmoon]

:)

I'm progressively learning. My finger picking is getting really fast, and I got my rolls down great.

[guitarted838]

your 8 years ol playing guitar and already playing banjo, wow your the next hendrix

[Badmoon]

What :lol:

[RNR]

Umm, I sort of convinced him and a few others that you were 8 years old :(


:D

[Badmoon]

Asshole :p

[guitarted838]

Umm, I sort of convinced him and a few others that you were 8 years old :(


:D

Wow.....im embar :eek: esed

[Badmoon]

Silly n00b :p

[guitarted838]

how old are you

[magicbus]

Umm kinda lame. Anyways, I don't like GnR, and I do like Blues rock.

[thickasabrick]

oh i thought that was supposed to say "8 years OF playing guitar" i didnt even think about age.

im going now...see ya tomorrow during school if i can get on.

[guitrguy]

Umm, I sort of convinced him and a few others that you were 8 years old :(


:D
hahaha ya....

[Badmoon]

I've been playing guitar for a few months. I'm turning 15 the 8th.

[guitarted838]

ok...i feel better

[guitrguy]

wow, I feel like a veteran here. I have been playing for like 2 1/2 years.

[Badmoon]

So, I guess you're taking the Hendrix thing back :upset:

[guitrguy]

So, I guess you're taking the Hendrix thing back :upset:
huh??

[RNR]

I also convinced them that I was magicbus for a little while.

Well anyway, to sum up. Rock is best with another genre's influence. Whether that be Bluesgrass/country, Blues, Folk, metal (hard rock) or in the case of jam bands... Bluesgrass-folk-psychedelic-some blues... and whatever.

What would Phish be? A Jam band?

[guitarted838]

o sure..you can still be hendrix....um....work hard!

[guitrguy]

Phish would be a jam band.

[RNR]

I was Hendrix. He was Bob Dylan. Got your **** straight.

[Badmoon]

Yeah, jam bands are usally a lot of things.

[RNR]

Crudely translated... Jam means hippy music :D

:smoke:

[Badmoon]

ATTENTION:

Robert Randolph And The Family Band are insane!!!!!

He is a mad pedal steel guitarist, and a Blues one, which is very weird.

Pedal Steel, I'm going to learn that someday.

[guitrguy]

:smoke:
appropiate use of the smiley.

You were magicbus and badmoon349.

You also convinced him that badmoon was 8.

Good times.. good times.

Anyway, i've been STUCK on Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel.

I LOVE that ablum.

It's just so creative and great..

[Badmoon]

Wait! He passed of as me too!

That's it, I'm making the call!

Expect a nuclear missle coming to mother Canada very soon.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It was great.

Guitarted838: So you have 2 screen names wow a tree22 and badmoon349 right?
wow a tree22: yes...

[Badmoon]

You guys are idiots. :p

[MalcolmYoungRock]

No, we just like tricking innocent n00bs.

By the way, I was bored and drew a picture of donkeys in an open field for you rock.

[RNR]

It was great.

hehehe. Good times.

[guitrguy]

I especially liked the bitch session.





He still hasn't got my coke yet....

[Badmoon]

in this thread, th3y aLLway2 Mul3s!!!!!111

[RNR]

No, we just like tricking innocent n00bs.

Can I see it? Or should I just assume that it's good.

Ooo, my band name will be called... Sniff my Donkey! :D

[RNR]

Just assume it's the Mona Lisa. BTW I drew it on paint.

[guitrguy]

is there a chat room up?

[RNR]

Sounds good.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I'm in.

[RNR]

I'm also in.

[Seafroggys]

A page back there was discussion about how long people've played.

So I was wondering...not how long people have played, but how long you guys have played Classic Rock.

I mean, I've played piano since I was 5 (12 years ago), but I've only started classic rock drumming for 4 1/2 years. So I was wondering how long you guys have been strumming (or beating) the good ol' sounds of rock 'n roll?

(I'm great for stopping conversations and adding in tidbits here and there)

[Woodstock]

Bump

To Badmoon: The Robert Randolph and Family Band did Run For Life as a cover of the Beatles?

[Badmoon]

No.

[Broken Arrow]

whoa i just read alot........That Guitarted(sp?) why is he acting like he knows soooo much but all he does is put little pointless posts like:

Ouch!


Anyways this guy AIMed me today and he wanted Zeppelin IV soo badly. I asked him how many songs he knew on it : Stairway and Blackdog

so I ended up not giving it to him...............****ing poser

[Broken Arrow]

To Guitarted: I am also 14 however I am way more knowledgable(especailly about classic rock) then you will ever be.

But Badmoon is way Smarter then me and he's almost 15

[guitrguy]

Dude, that record store had a sale today. I bought Revolver and Magical Mystery Tour as well as two other cds for like $40 and a a T-shirt and a poster for another $10

[Broken Arrow]

What T-shirt?

Good Deal :thumb:

[guitrguy]

Led Zeppelin.

[Broken Arrow]

Cool^

I know I've said this reapeted times: I am so mad that my town doesnt a a record store.

So I will own one of my own...........one day

It would also sell T-shirts and maybe even an Instrument section.And maybe a Classic rock radio station.

*strokes chin*

[Badmoon]

To Guitarted: I am also 14 however I am way more knowledgable(especailly about classic rock) then you will ever be.

Fixed, I don't know if I know anything more than you. Possibly other than C.R.

He's an idiot. Look at his name :p

Its closes Oct 14. :upset:
I'm gonna buy the beatles Anthology for $50 from there before they close

[Woodstock]

Already owns Anthology.

[RNR]

If I had that kind of money i'd buy anthology. But I don't :(

[Woodstock]

I'd been saving up for it, now my pockets have cobwebs.

[guitrguy]

Isn't the original price like $80?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Today I be getting Bridge Over Troubled Water ( because I'm sick of listening to it on the site) and a Bob Dylan and Neil Young cd. Suggestions?

[guitrguy]

The Essential Bob Dylan, I don't listen to the others so I don't know

[Broken Arrow]

Well do you want Neil on his own?

If so go Harvest I can garuntee (sp?) you'll like at least a song

If CSNY go So Far

I would recommend these 2 but he also played with Buffalo Springfeild and Crazyhorse so be open minded

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I know but should I get Buffalo, CrazyHorse, or Young just by himself. Or CSNY?

But I think I'll just get a Neil cd and the Simon and Garfunkel cd.

[RNR]

I could give him lots of Neil Young :)

Harvest Moon is great for folk.

[Broken Arrow]

I have alot of Neil on viynl

On C.D.-Harvest
-Harvest Moon

I highly recommend So Far though

[thickasabrick]

i've got about ten neil young albums on vinyl...no cds though
i like decade the most because its got a lot of songs on it. i usually listen to that one.

[thickasabrick]

anyone else think neil young has an amazing guitar playing style..hes really considered more of a singer/songwriter but i think he has an amazing style when it comes to guitar.

[RNR]

I think he's a very good guitarist. He's not the most technical player in the world but he's an extremely good writer. And writing a good song is more important than making it hard to play.

[Woodstock]

If you're going to buy a CSNY CD, go for Deja Vu.

[Broken Arrow]

anyone else think neil young has an amazing guitar playing style..hes really considered more of a singer/songwriter but i think he has an amazing style when it comes to guitar.

I coundn't agree with you more. I am nearly done Neil and Me after 2 days

[Woodstock]

I have to admit^, I love Ohio. It was mostly written by Young.

[RockAndRoll]

Ohio is a great song, one of the first by Neil I heard.

[Woodstock]

Gotta love that riff. It was the first I've heard by CSNY.

[GEOFFREYBAX30]

classic rock comeback?, the decline of rap? can good days be heading our way again i think they will be! more and more people are sick and tired of having Mtv jam bull crap down thier throats so yep classics making a comeback

[lunch998]

Today I be getting Bridge Over Troubled Water ( because I'm sick of listening to it on the site) and a Bob Dylan and Neil Young cd. Suggestions?

Simon and Garfunkel are awesome. For Bob Dylan, Get Highway 61 revisted, I like that album a lot.

[Schyma]

Anyone there?

[ToRidTheDisease]

me.

[wanton]

Which do think Neil Young was better at, acoustic or electric guitar? I prefer his acoustic songs but his electric songs are nice too. His acoustic playing just seems better to me.

[magicbus]

Wowowowow. Just finished my MSU app and I'm tired as balls.

[ColdShotStrat]

i love everything about classic rock and i hate seeing all these new bands ruining rock. id like to see a good classic rock band come around and save rock. id also like to see a good blues band come around. does anyone know of any out in california?

[RockAndRoll]

I'd rather see something new. There are too many that just redo the same old blues, it's boring.

[Led_Revolver]

i'm wanna see some band come along and revitalize the classic rock style...


You gotta give some credit to velvet revolver, theyre trying, even if its not exactly the classic rock were looking for (a la Zeppelin, Doors, Rush, ect.) but its still better than Good Charlotte. And it still rocks

[Schyma]

No they dont!!!!! :angry:

[Schyma]

Is there anybody worth talking to still there?

[BillCosby]

You gotta give some credit to velvet revolver, theyre trying, even if its not exactly the classic rock were looking for (a la Zeppelin, Doors, Rush, ect.) but its still better than Good Charlotte. And it still rocks

Better than Good Charlotte? Not saying much.

[Led_Revolver]

Better than Good Charlotte? Not saying much.

Well i'd say slash, duff, matt sorum, dave kushner and scott weiland are WAY better than good charlotte. most of them were rocking while good charlotte was still in diapers.

[thickasabrick]

ya velvet revolver is pretty good...not classic rock good, but compared to most bands these days i'd say they are at the top of the list.

as to the neil young question earlier...i really love his acoustic guitar playing, but his electric seems to be the most definitive. i actually think he played electric the same way someone would play acoustic, its just more overdriven. not a lot of people do that.

[BillCosby]

Well i'd say slash, duff, matt sorum, dave kushner and scott weiland are WAY better than good charlotte. most of them were rocking while good charlotte was still in diapers.


What a revolutionary statement, you are wise beyond your years.

[thickasabrick]

can i ask how many people are in this thread right now? anyone worth talking to?

[Seafroggys]

Coolest thing I saw on a TV order channel.

One was a robotic cleaner (I really wanted to buy one...okay, off-topic big time).

But I saw an acoustic guitar with a built in pick-up and an EQ on the side, that comes with an amp. This guy was playing through the amp, and it sounded all normal (like micing an acoustic). Then he turned the overdrive button on and it sounded just like your badass distorted guitar, except it wasn't electric!

Of course, this probably can easily be done already, and I'm sure people have tried this.

The Neil Young Electric vs. Acoustic debate reminded me of this.

Btw, listening to Glass Onion by Beatles.

[RNR]

Whoever ask if Neil Young is better, acoustic or electric? Obviously his acoustic songs are better. But he displays more skill while playing electric. So i'd say it's even.

[thickasabrick]

seafroggys: was the guy named Esteban or something like that? I've seen that a lot, its fun to watch. I have no clue how he could be selling a guitar, an amp, a case, strings, instructional movie and picks all for like a hundred bucks. Must be the cheapest made crap ever.

(ya I tried distorting my acoustic/electric, all i got was bad feedback)

[thickasabrick]

is anyone around?? i just tried playing a neil young song, but i accidently clicked on a nelly furtado song which was right below it....its called "try". i had never heard it before but its not bad, shes got talent.

edit- ya wrong thread i realize but oh well. i only like to post in this one.

[RNR]

Yeah I actually like that song.

One thing to remember. On weeknights us kiddies don't post as much as on weekends. So don't be sitting around for 20 minutes waiting for the next post because it might not happen for a while.

[guitrguy]

THats why they make acoustic/electric amps.

[Paranoidd]

Anyone who comes in here and complains about how all new rock sucks should get banned. It's a classic rock thread, not a "bash-all-new-rock-because-popular-opinion-currently-swings-that-way" thread

[guitrguy]

They do get banned...if they get caught, but usually they are just ignored.

[magicbus]

We should get a way to keep noobs out.

[Schyma]

Lets start a topic.........How about greatest songwritter?

[Paranoidd]

Me.

[lunch998]

Paranoidd

[Paranoidd]

Then it's settled. We each get two candy apples.

[lunch998]

Yes! That's awesome.

New Topic.

[Paranoidd]

Anybody heard the new John Fogerty?

[jpj]

Then it's settled. We each get two candy apples.
candy apples>all other candied food items :thumb:

[Woodstock]

I think Neil Young was a better electric guitarist than acoustic.

[Paranoidd]

Have you ever heard Tori Amos' cover of Heart of Gold? Kicks arse.

Actually, she gets my vote as one of the best singers/songwriters ever. You better believe it.

[Woodstock]

^I heard Tori Amos had her hands insured for her piano playing.

???

[Paranoidd]

Probably, she's an amazing musician. Should hear some of the stuff on piano she comes up with...

[MalcolmYoungRock]

She covered Smells Like Teen Spirit.... :upset:

That was terrible.

Anyway... minimum day bitches!!

Thats why i'm home early. hahaha.

[Paranoidd]

She also covered Slayer's "Raining Blood" and it was great.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Good god...

The Smells Like Teen Spirit was FUNNY as hell though.

Think about... piano player in bar singing grunge.

Great stuff..

[Paranoidd]

Yeah..she did a whole cover album. Everyone from Young to Depeche Mode to Slayer, it was good.

But anyways...

I got another Zeppelin bootleg today. You haven't heard Zeppelin until you've heard them live.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I've listened to HTWWW and the DVD. That's made a believer out of me.

[Paranoidd]

Those are cool, but these are just normal everyday shows, and sometimes you hear some AMAZING stuff. Some are just recorded by people in the audience. They're amazing.

[RNR]

That's true. I've noticed that none of their shows are ever the same. They always change and improve the songs.

edit: nice going paronidd. Your Billy talent rant made fall off of my chair laughing (ouch :().

[guitrguy]

That might also be beacuase Jimmy is drunk when he plays live.

[RNR]

Possibly. But it's a good thing if it means that he plays like that.

[Paranoidd]

That's true. I've noticed that none of their shows are ever the same. They always change and improve the songs.

edit: nice going paronidd. Your Billy talent rant made fall off of my chair laughing (ouch :().

Thanks :D

I was ranting live in my lunchroom at work when I saw they had a full page article on the band in the Toronto Star newspaper. Argh. Drives me nuts.

[Paranoidd]

Possibly. But it's a good thing if it means that he plays like that.

Actually you can hear him make alot of mistakes in the shows, hence my opinion that Page was pretty sloppy.

[guitrguy]

Page himself admits it.

[Paranoidd]

Yup.

Nontheless, he still was great. One of the marks of a great musician is to be able to admit where you were great/bad due to drugs/alcohol.

[RNR]

And he was less sloppy earlier in his carrer. HTWWW was mostly stuff from later in their carrer.

[guitrguy]

He says it beacause he played his guitar so low, that it made it hard for him to reach the strings.

[Badmoon]

Pearl Jam covered "Masters of War" by Bob Dylan on Letterman last night. They did good :cool:

[guitrguy]

Cool, to bad they don't show reruns.

[Badmoon]

Yeah, and change that usertitle you ****er!!

[Badmoon]

Cool, to bad they don't show reruns.

Yes they do.

[guitrguy]

Oh they do... when and where?

[guitarted838]

Those are cool, but these are just normal everyday shows, and sometimes you hear some AMAZING stuff. Some are just recorded by people in the audience. They're amazing.
I have the dvd of leppelin live, its great

[RNR]

I don't really like Pearl Jam. But it's impossible to fail if you're using a Bob Dylan song :D

[guitarted838]

That might also be beacuase Jimmy is drunk when he plays live.
Ya he looks drunk

[RNR]

He's probably drunk and stoned at the same time :)

[guitrguy]

Robert really looks stoned in some parts of the DVD.

[thickasabrick]

ya at the start of one song on the dvd he (robert) starts talking and im almost positive he is stoned, its just expected though

[jpj]

i have a feeling thy were probably all stoned, it being the 70's and all :smoke:

[Paranoidd]

They were most definitely stoned.

[guitrguy]

Hey parnoidd, I just saw a Billy Talent Thread pop up. I think its time for some ownage.

[thickasabrick]

this is kinda off topic..but what does everyone think of jefferson airplane? like the original airplane not the seventies/eighties junk.

im thinking of me n my friends doing "white rabbit" for our schools talent show dealy.

[jpj]

white rabbit is a great song. i havent heard very much other jefferson airplane stuff, but what ive heard ive liked

[keep on phishin']

I have been meaning to get Surrealistic Pillow for some time now, just haven't got around to it yet.

[Paranoidd]

Hey parnoidd, I just saw a Billy Talent Thread pop up. I think its time for some ownage.

Way ahead of you :D

[thickasabrick]

I have been meaning to get Surrealistic Pillow for some time now, just haven't got around to it yet.

i've got doubles of the surrealistic pillow record..its really good. they only cost me a buck, i'd mail one to you but it would get broken most likely anyway. (plus im a cheap b@stard)

[guitrguy]

That chatroom is up, if you all wanna come.

[keep on phishin']

it would most likely get broken....and that would suck

is the album worth the money by the way?

[RNR]

That chatroom is up, if you all wanna come.

i'm in.

[thickasabrick]

it would most likely get broken....and that would suck

is the album worth the money by the way?

Its definetly worth it. if you like that kinda music. its got some trippy stuff.

[xIron_Maiden]

Dude, don't be ashamed. I love classic rock. I especially love Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. Rock on!

[Broken Arrow]

Biggest n00b ever...........................^^^^

[RNR]

We were done with that conversation about 4 months ago... And plus bonzo doesn't post here anymore.

Way to disrupt the flow of the thread...

[magicbus]

Hence, a need for a way to keep noobs out.

[RNR]

I say we put up an electric fence!

[magicbus]

And hand out shock collars!

[lunch998]

We should set up a Diversion Classic Rock thread. Where all the noobs can go to say how much Led Zeppelin rocks.

[Woodstock]

Just got back from my homecoming game,.......we lost.

[Badmoon]

good

[Woodstock]

good
PMS? eh?

[lunch998]

Badmoons an asshole.

[Schyma]

Agreed

[Schyma]

Cream isn't that good...........and so is Eric Clapton.........

[magicbus]

You don't like Cream?

[lunch998]

Well congrates on gertting the 9000th post anyway :thumb:

Yea I made it 8 times harder than it was.

[Anything]

I don't mind listening to music created today, but it has to be by a veteran artist, usually.

I love Alice Cooper, the Rolling Stones, ****ed, Buzzcocks, Stranglers, Cure, Undertones and Wayne Kramer. Their most recent material is often my favourite.

[Anything]

What a ridiculous censoring system! The Dam ned.

[lunch998]

Cream isn't that good...........and so is Eric Clapton.........

Cream is very good.

[magicbus]

Good.

[magicbus]

Cream is very good.

Yea man. Don't listen to him.

[Schyma]

Not really I haven't herd much suprisingly all I have herd is Cream of Clapton and wasn't really into it..........As for Clapton I hate that son of Bitch

[Schyma]

Maybe you could give some suggestions on a album?

[lunch998]

Not really I haven't herd much suprisingly all I have herd is Cream of Clapton and wasn't really into it..........As for Clapton I hate that son of Bitch

....I'm speechless...

[lunch998]

Maybe you could give some suggestions on a album?

If you hate Clapton then it might be hard to like Cream. And just because you don't like them doesn't mean it's not good.

[RNR]

Uhh, yeah. Umm, try Wheels Of Fire. It's really good (at least i think it is).

[Schyma]

The only reason why I hate Clapton is for his solo "Me and Mr. Johnson" He covered Robert Johnson and he miserbly failed and for that I belive that he should be sent to that satan guy.

[RNR]

One small thing is no reason to HATE him, Sheesh. Listen to his original work.

[lunch998]

The only reason why I hate Clapton is for his solo "Me and Mr. Johnson" He covered Robert Johnson and he miserbly failed and for that I belive that he should be sent to that satan guy.

Yea he messed up on one album his whole life. For Robert Johnson covers check out Crossroads live on Wheels of Fire. It owns you.

[thelizardkingcc]

if you want to hear some sweet cream tunes check out "sunshine of your love" one of the best classic rock guitar riffs ever, "i feel free" "strange brew" "crossroads," all great songs...

ok time for a quick poll:
cream vs yardbirds.
my vote is for the yardbirds.

[magicbus]

Man, you and Robert Johnson. All the time. Don't be so gay.

ANYWAYS

That Rusted Root song is in that Ice Age movie. I thought it was Finding Nemo, but upon further research, I found Ice Age instead.

[Schyma]

Ill try it..........

[Woodstock]

Ill try it..........
You better :evil:

[Schyma]

Man, you and Robert Johnson. All the time. Don't be so gay.



F u c k You

[lunch998]

I'd take Cream over the Yardbirds.
Try White Room and Tales of Brave Ulysses.

[lunch998]

F u c k You

Keep it friendly guys.

[Schyma]

It pisses me off when a guy thinks he should cover a song and then it being bad
Edit: ^sorry about that

[Badmoon]

Yea he messed up on one album his whole life. For Robert Johnson covers check out Crossroads live on Wheels of Fire. It owns you.

I liked that album :upset:

"They're Red Hot" was covered great.

[lunch998]

It pisses me off when a guy thinks he should cover a song and then it being bad

Let me just say that he covered many songs with Cream that were done great.

[lunch998]

I liked that album :upset:

"They're Red Hot" was covered great.

I didn't say I disliked it. I was just going along with him to say that even if Clapton didn't do a great job on that album, hes got so much other great stuff to make up for it.

So, how's "Run For Your Life"?

[RNR]

Run for your life was really good. Great style of playing :)


Well anyway. I asked the whole forum. Now i'm asking the classic rock buffs.

What are your opinons on Aerosmith? Seriously. I'm not a huge fan or anything but i'm interested.

[Schyma]

Areosmith is Ok toys in the attic was good and so was rocks but I dont see the big deal about them the songwritting isn't to impressive the music can almost sound hair metal.

[Broken Arrow]

So, how's "Run For Your Life"?

Rocknotroll gave it to me and I was very impressed :thumb:


On Aerosmith: I like most of their music from what ive heard. My younger brother and Dad are pretty big fans. I find they are like AC/DC (but they are better at their insruments(harder riffs,better bass and drums) being that their music is catchy but not that impressive to the music extent.

That may be hard to understand^

My favourite song is Ragdoll :thumb:

[Stroudy]

what defines a band as classic rock

[jpj]

an old rock band that still rocks today

[jpj]

and about aerosmith i like them. they're not the world's greatest song writers, but i think its enjoyable music.i have honkin on bobo, its all blues songs...pretty cool

[slowhand]

I'm just going to ignore some of the Clapton comments...

Anyways, I read 20 pages of this thread now! Yay! But really, I thinik we should stop spamming, it's getting out of control.

And to those who are interested in the Rolling Stones Rock 'n Roll Circus, there's a CD and VHS out there. DVD is comming out the 15th of this month, so I'm saving up to buy it.

[Badmoon]

Aerosmith - I like a lot of their older stuff, not their newer stuff, nor them as people at the moment. They are sellouts now.

[Badmoon]

anyone want some samples from me? I just uploaded some new stuff.

[jpj]

what stuff?

[slowhand]

To start off a new conversation...

Who was the best artist to use the studio advantages to their fullest? In other words, who's the best classic rock studio artist?

I say it's the Beatles. I don't think I have to explain myself much.

[Badmoon]

what stuff?

I just uploaded some String Cheese and Gov't Mule.

[jpj]

yea definitely the beatles

EDIT:to slow hand

[jpj]

what is string cheese like?

[Badmoon]

Well, I just reviewed one of their album. They're a jam band who mainly does Bluegrass, but they also do a lot more.

[jpj]

Yes

[RNR]

Ummmm has anyone said anything about AC/DC yet? There my all time favorite.

Yeah. We've determined that people who's favorite band is Ac/dc, are 99% of the time not seriously into music. They're a good band to listen to occasionally though.

[Broken Arrow]

Who in the hell are you? And how's it getting out of hand. Your post is the only spam post in the last 3 pages.

[Against Miik!]

Yeah, in the last three pages, but has anybody noticed this thread has gained almost 4000 posts in about 3 weeks? It can't all be on topic conversation.
