listen if youre bored.

[thickasabrick]

last night i watched Listed's top 40 albums of the last twenty years...i was kinda disappointed. right away i figured out some that would be top ten and i was right, although i didnt agree with the order they went in. Smells like Teen Spirit was number one..i was kinda mad, even though i figured it would be top ten.

[magicbus]

It says "Classic Albums". I wanted to get the Pompeii DVD but they ran out of them :(

Don't get the Live at Pompeii DVD. It was edited so horribly. The director ruined it. Try to find the original version on VHS. I haven't found it yet, but I'm still looking.

Also how is the DSOTM one? I was thinking about getting that, but didn't know what it was about.

[Paranoidd]

I have the pompeii DVD and I've seen the VHS one a few times, I don't feel that it's ruined.

[Stingray man]

Yeah there definetly has been a revival in classic rock recently. Personaly I'm into just about everything that is rock and metal, from led Zepplin and The Beatles to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mettalica (especialy their old stuff) and Dream Theatre but NOT Slipknot and Korn.I even like some jazz, reggae and blues stuff

Rock and metal music rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lunch998]

yeA DUde classic rock Is awesome!!! I like Led Zeppelin AC/DC and Van Halen. Rock on!!

:) Thanks for saving me money.

The DVD, it goes into some detail about the songs, and how they were made. They also play some parts of the songs, Gilmour plays some of the solo for "Time" and a few other songs. Roger also plays some songs such as "Money". I really wish the DVD was a bit longer though :(

It was worth the $10 though :thumb:

[slowhand]

Who or what do you think broke up the Beatles, Yoko or different ways?

It's a matter of fact, the Beatles broke up because they were going different places. Even if Yoko wasn't there, they were bound to break up. George had left the group before, he was tired of the McCartney and Lennon (but mostly McCartney at this point) dominance in the group. He had an incredible amount of song, and one or two in an album wasn't enough for him. He only came back to finish 'Let It Be' and 'Abbey Road' was made to make up for the not-so-good album that was 'Let It Be'

It's sad. Without the Beatles there was no way to stop disco.

can someone go tell those people that the swan song is not really a song

[Broken Arrow]

You changed your avatar.......praise the lord!!

[RNR]

can someone go tell those people that the swan song is not really a song

Tell who?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

can someone go tell those people that the swan song is not really a song

Swan Song is the record label that Zeppelin created...

Edit: I'm assuming the people in the Zeppelin thread...

[thickasabrick]

can someone go tell those people that the swan song is not really a song

i had a song on my old computer that was called swan song...it was just like a live cut of page kinda jamming on an acoustic. i dont know if swan song was actually the title or if someone just called it that because it didnt have a name though. it was a good song but i can't find it anymore.

edit- im surprised at how many bands actually signed to swan song records.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

How many?

Too lazy to look.

[KISS FAN]

I LOVE KISS:thumb:whoever likes them ROCK!!!!

[KISS FAN]

and i like them all, all of the classic rock, zeppelin, all those kick @$$ bands

[MalcolmYoungRock]

We wouldn't consider Kiss classic rock..

more like 80's hair metal band.

[Broken Arrow]

What a crazy n00b

[thickasabrick]

How many?

Too lazy to look.

i'm not sure exactly, but i've noticed many records of mine had the swan song symbol, not just led zep ones.

[Woodstock]

Bad Company was on Swan Song

[Woodstock]

The Beatles were the first to sign James Taylor and Badfinger on their Apple Records, just thought you should know.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

This is interesting..

John Lennon was going to sign to Swan Song during his return to music in the 80's but didn't...

[thickasabrick]

Bad Company was on Swan Song

well done..i would go through my collection and see what other bands, but its just too much work

[Woodstock]

Well it figures, since John was killed in 80 and Led Zep ended in 81.

Edit: to Malcolm

[thickasabrick]

This is interesting..

John Lennon was going to sign to Swan Song during his return to music in the 80's but didn't...

thats awesome....did page produce all the stuff for swan song? cuz he produced all (or most) of zeppelins stuff.

edit- in case that didnt make sense...im wondering if Page was the producer for all the bands that were signed to Swan Song.

[Queen_Rocks]

Can we consider Aerosmith and Van Halen classic rockers?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I thought it was '83??

[thickasabrick]

I thought it was '83??

i'm afraid not.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

thats awesome....did page produce all the stuff for swan song? cuz he produced all (or most) of zeppelins stuff.

Well, Peter Grant managed it..

I don't know.. probably

Edit: I thought you meant did he produce the ablums under swan song..

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Oh no no no no no NOOOO

That wouldn't be right.

He produced only for Zeppelin.

[deejuks2]

i didn't really like it, but thats just my opinion

i wouldn't expect you to, since those few songs are grungy/sludge. we have classic typs stuff, but i can only put 3 songs on purevolume :evil:

[RNR]

I didn't like it. But i'm sure somebody would. Just not herew, we're anti-grunge.

[Woodstock]

Can we consider Aerosmith and Van Halen classic rockers?

van halen: yes.

walk this way is a good song. so is sing for the moment. anyone agree?

[Woodstock]

van halen: yes.
aerosmith: i don't know. probably. maybe not. i'll say yes.

Actually, I think most of us would say Aerosmith is more classic than Halen, including me.

Santana....discuss.

Brilliant guitarist. one of the best players ever. It's a shame that he's only known for a few songs.

[Badmoon]

Shut up skank.

[RNR]

Fine, i'm going to see if superpeer will change this thread's title to "The Off Topic Thread #2".

[Seafroggys]

i can play evil ways on bass

I can play that on the drums. My jazz band in middle school played an arrangement of it, filled with drum fills and such. :thumb:

[Broken Arrow]

I used to love Santana. Now I dont like him that much:(

[lunch998]

Yesterday at work I decided I might learn to play the mandolin. I can get a cheap one at musiciansfriend.com with a chord and method book for like 60 bucks.

Nobody REALLY gets into classic rock. The whole "revival" is kind of a fad.

[lunch998]

The revival, if there is any, is the creation of the annoying Stairway to Heaven kids that go out and buy Zeppelin t-shirts.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Yeah it's definatly a fad.

It'll be gone in about 4 years..

which I am thankful because I am so GODDAM sick of kids going up to me and saying "I love stairway to heaven" or "I love money!" (DSOTM shirt)

[lunch998]

Yeah it's definatly a fad.

I feel bad for Money. I don't even like Stairway, but Money is a good song. Lucky for me I don't ecounter very many Pink Floyd posers, so I could acutally where a DSOTM shirt to school without that happening to me.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I loved it when I wore my Doors shirt and a kid goes up to me and says

Who the hell are the doors?

Edit:

Do you know what I love?

When a certain type of music is popular, all of a sudden it's the best thing to happen since sliced bread.

Some guy told me that the guitarist for Korn is better than Eric Clapton.

Kids have NEVER heard of Eric Clapton :amaze:

I am so ashamed..

[lunch998]

I loved it when I wore my Doors shirt and a kid goes up to me and says

Who the hell are the doors?

It's the best when that happens or when people think it's uncool to wear band t-shirts to school.

I also like the "Oh Led Zeppelin. I love that guy."

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It's the best when that happens or when people think it's uncool to wear band t-shirts to school.

haha it was great though.

about 4 people asked what the wall was

[lunch998]

lol... i wish i had a "the wall" t-shirt.

i have a question:

Because things like that put Stairway to Heaven instead of Achilles Last Stand. Often times I will find that some of the best songs aren't on the compilations. Also a new thing with me is that I like having the actual CD and I like to listen to the album in its orginal order.

Plus with bands like Pink Floyd, its sometimes hard to have some songs and not others. For exmaple taking Another Brick In the Wall Part 2 but not the songs around it does not work.

[clown_phobia]

well i was never considering getting a pink floyd compilation. their individual albums are too good. i'm thinking of

the who - then and now
the essential bob dylan

and some others too.

ABITW then to Comfortably Numb?

What?

But on my zeppelin compilation it has Stairway and Achilles :-D

[magicbus]

I'm pretty sure Echoes is edited so that all the songs blend together. I want to check it out just to see how that sounds. But I really wouldn't buy a Pink Floyd compilation, I'd rather have all their albums.

Echoes is edited to blend together very nicely for a compilation.

And Santana is one of the best guitarist in my opinion, very powerful playing.

[magicbus]

Same here. Compilations just dont feel right. Kind of like having a burned CD doesnt feel right.

Yea I always have to buy the real cds. I couldn't stand how The Wall didn't transition right into the next song. Plus its cool to have all the cds.

I actually think Stairway is the best rock song ever, or it's up there. It's just kind of embarassing for a true classic rock fan to enjoy the song, becuase so many of those kinds of kids just kill it. It's a shame. And it's not like some little thing. It's a musical legacy. That song could go down in future generations as an amazing song, but it is turning into a joke.

I've gotten a little tired of the first 6 minutes cause that's what you usually hear. However, I still think it has one of the greatest solos ever.

EDIT I like Sabbath.

Yea its probably my favorite.

paranoid is a great album. i'm probably gonna get it next week. i've listened to it and war pigs and iron man are my fav. songs.

[magicbus]

You're overrated.

I like war pigs too.

[dumb]

paranoid is good but get Symptom of the Universe cause it has the best of Paranoid (except Electric Funeral) plus all their other greatest songs. (examples: N.I.B., Sabbra Caddabra, Sweet Leaf, etc.)

[Schyma]

Yea your probably right

Edit: War pigs is good though parinoid just sounds cool...Iron
man sux

[clown_phobia]

no way - iron man is classic !!

[Goblin Metronome]

And I prefer Master of Reality to Paranoid myself.

[Paranoidd]

Paranoidd > You.

[wanton]

I prefer their self-titled album, most blues-influenced.

[thickasabrick]

my favourite album was paranoid...in my opinion they got worse with time. kinda lost their blues roots and tried to hard to be the cool metal band. just my opinion though.

[jpj]

I prefer their self-titled album, most blues-influenced.
yep same here

Black sabbath is great. They were the first metal band and still one of the best (even though now with the noisey screaming **** they're more hard rock than metal).

[lunch998]

I'm here.
I still don't see whats so special about Stairway to Heaven. Maybe the last 2 minutes are great, but I'd much rather listen to a Led Zeppelin song where you don't have to wait through 6 minutes of buildup to get to the good part.

[Paranoidd]

I agree.

[jpj]

yea stairway is one of the most if not THE most overrated songs of all time. its not even the best zep song let alone the best of all time.

[RNR]

The buildup makes the last few minutes better than it would have been. It it just started where the drummers came in it wouldn't be half as good.

And I agree. It's not zeppelin's best song. They have better ones, why are people so obsessed with it?


I just got Mark Knopfler's new album called 'Shangri-La', It=teh secktz :). He's just so talented and he plays with such great skill and technique.

I'm considering giving it a shot. I think I'd rather finger-pick.

[magicbus]

Mark Knopfler is great. Finger picking and whatnot.

[Badmoon]

I believe he was on Leno a few nights ago. Great show :thumb:

[Badmoon]

I'm considering giving it a shot. I think I'd rather finger-pick.

I believe a thumb pick is common, or regular pick.

[RNR]

Was he hyping his new album or anything? Or did he just play his older stuff?

[Whatever]

I'm going to a Bob Dylan show! Whooo!

[RNR]

I'm going to a Bob Dylan show! Whooo!

He's still alive? :p I need to get me some tickets. He's amazing live.

[lunch998]

I believe a thumb pick is common, or regular pick.

That's good, because I find I'm usually better at thumb picking on string instruments.

By the way Badmoon, who was the guy(I think you said he played Mandolin) Jerry Garcia played with? Which of their albums would you recommend?

[lunch998]

He's still alive? :p I need to get me some tickets. He's amazing live.

Speaking of Bob Dylan, I noticed there was a story about him in Newsweek or something. I haven't read it though, I only saw the cover.

[Whatever]

he's playing at this college i work at. i don't know how they got him. It only seats like 1500 people.

[RNR]

He should be selling out domes of 20000. Or maybe all of his fans are dead because he;s so old.

[Dark Hero]

LOL :lol:

[RNR]

How old is he anyway?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

70 or 80 for sure...

There was a Dylan concert here a few weeks ago.

I missed that, Van Halen (sucks with hagaar though) and the who.

I lose :upset:

i think dylan was 20 when his first album came out..which was in '61 i think. if you do the math you may have your answer.

edit- i suppose i should have quoted the actual question.

I saw Van Halen but also no Dylan:(

What si everybody favourite Beatles song???

[Seafroggys]

Favorite Beatles Song=Hard to choose. Probably between Dear Prudance, Sexy Sadie, Polythene Pam, Sgt. Pepper's Reprise, and I Want to Tell You.

And its really funny how you guys thought Bob Dylan was that old. That's like the age of 40s and 50s jazz and early rock stars.

[slowhand]

Favourite Beatles song? I don't know how many times I've said it in this forum, you guys are probably sick of me ranting about this song, but it's 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'

The Beatles + Eric Clapton = Classic

[Spectrum]

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is an absolute classic. My favorite Beatles song depends on my mood, usually. Sometimes it's "The Long and Winding Road", sometimes "Let it Be", other times "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", and still others at other times.

classic rock. either love it or hate it, u gotta respect it because it laid the foundation for what rock is today.

[BillCosby]

Thanks, bud.

[Cipher Hour]

It laid the foundation for crap? :lol: Just kidding...or am I?

Yea thats my favorite Beatles song too.. :rolleyes:

*useful conversation interrupted again by something so insightful I never would have thought of it*

[PinkFloyd]

yea stairway is one of the most if not THE most overrated songs of all time. its not even the best zep song let alone the best of all time.

My Opinion On It: Stairway is the Best Zeppelin song. This is comming from a guy who has heard all of their songs. It is literally miles in front of the rest. I main judgement on the reason why you guys are bashing it is because it is popular.

Popular songs will be called overated. Maybe it is the most n00b Led Zeppelin song but it is still by far the best. Wouldn't we all love to say "Stairway is ****ing overated, Rain Song and No Quarter owns it hardcore, **** noobs and their stairway obsession".

Maybe the fact that it is overplayed to the max puts a bias on the whole view of Stairway, people can call it boring. But looking impartially, at lyric, musical composition and just the whole piece in general, I believe it is their finest work. Stop bashing it just to be different.

btw: Who ever says you have to wait 6 minutes of boredom for the last 2 minutes of good stuff is retarded.

[RNR]

Well said. Let's close on that. No more Led Zeppelin talk in here unless absolutely neccisary.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is an absolute classic. My favorite Beatles song depends on my mood, usually. Sometimes it's "The Long and Winding Road", sometimes "Let it Be", other times "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", and still others at other times.

You should hear the Jeff Healey version of "While My Guitar Gently weeps". It=teh zwnz0rz. Jeff's playing on it is argueably better than clapton's.

BETTER than Clapton's?? I oughta give that a listen..

Is it on :shifty eyes: "the site"?

[RNR]

Obiously Healey isn't a better guitarist than Clapton. But that certain guitar part was better done methinks.

It's not on :shiftyeyes: the site. I bet you find it on some music pirating site.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Ok, quickly! To the internet!

[Broken Arrow]

In in the chat by myself:(

sooooo bored...

[Creedence Clearwater]

I have been away and now it looks like dylan was disussed without me or my avatar being consulted? :lol:

[RNR]

Well, we can't consult you unless you're here. You can express your opinion now.

[Broken Arrow]

I think Dylan just came out with his first set of memoirs?

[Creedence Clearwater]

yah, can i help you all make reference to his new book, his autobiography. Or the fact that he hasn't done a good live show since Glebe Stockholm 97 because after he nearly died that year his vocal shords have litterally been shreaded. he fact he doesn't care about the even a little bit doesn't help :lol:

[Creedence Clearwater]

Im 16 and i live in Adelaide, South AUstralia. No one, i have ever met, under 40 ever talks about classic rock. I started to download(sorry, but i did) some hendrix, and i was told by my dad to get all along the watchtower, which i mistakenly got the original by Bob Dylan, and developed a taste for Dylan, Clapton, and a bit differently though Zeppelin and Floyd.

[matt440]

Ccr?
