Classic Rock

[RNR]

^ Lucky kid.

Rumor has it that Neil young will be doing a North American tour. If he does do a tur i'm going to it.

[maiden-rolls!]

MAIDEN ROLLS BABY
they are hard rock ...i think
ok ill cry ..:(

[RNR]

Yeah I agree maiden does roll...

[sillydave]

Nice Frail, im going to have to get a costume next time. Me and my 3 friends got our faces painted by our parents :P As the four members, i was Ace (well tommy). Tommy Thayer was perfect, not one mistake. This woman took a photo of us. She walks up to us randomly and goes smile. Since you wern't allowed photos in the event, and she took one in the open we reckon she was a journalist. I could be in the paper somewhere ;) One guy i know caught Paul Stanleys pick :O They had a pretty awesome setlist, included things like christine sixteen. We are also pretty diehard :D

[roller4life68]

Classic rock kicks!! Especially Led Zeppelin. Also: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Guns n Roses. Amen.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Wooo!

Just bought my tickets to see the eighth wonder of the world... Blue... Oyster.... Cult!!

Oh man, it's gonna rock like crazy.

i saw them a few months ago......AWSOME SHOW!! the highlight was probley "R U Ready 2 Rock"....have fun and say hi to Buck for me :)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

MAIDEN ROLLS BABY
they are hard rock ...i think
ok ill cry ..:(

Iron Maiden are my favourite Metal band by a lanslide, defiently not classic rock, classic metal for sure :)

[RadKeysPlayer]

They should consider a classic metal genre.

[StreetlightRock]

Haha, who'd be in it? Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Mabye some hair metals bands? Motley Crue, etc

DVG.

[VoodooChild]

Ahem. Joan Jett






































































!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KIDDING ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woah woah woah!! You need a passport to cross the border

[StreetlightRock]

You'll never Catch me!!!

"Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Classic Metal, I am coming! "

[RockAndRoll]

Alice Cooper is comming to St.Louie in July, i am more than excited! anyone else going to see him this time around?

He'll be at an outdoor festival here too, it's going to be awesome.

[Badmoon]

*Shoots you down at the gates, sells your organs on the black market*

[Badmoon]

He'll be at an outdoor festival here too, it's going to be awesome.

He has the greatest concerts, musically they're fabulous, and visuley.

[Jalapeno Jones]

The best classic rock band there is would be The Beatles. Nothing beats all of their number one singles time after time after time.

[StreetlightRock]

*sniff* i liked my organs... ARGH! you guys got all these awsome concerts! hardly anyone comes down to Singapore. *sigh*

^actually... its sorta strange that you can really compare the beatles to say... LZ or Pink Floyd. All absolutely classic, yet so different. 'cause the rest of the fellows, cranking out amazing solos and stuff. and the beatles, they were masters of catchy tunes and all. *sigh* i have no idea what im going on about.

DVG.

[Badmoon]

^ Woah, you live in Singapore!

[VoodooChild]

KEWLZORS!!!!

Isn't that place super clean. Like if you spit some gum on the ground you get whipped or something. Sorry if I'm dumb.













*bought his organs from badmoon*

[RNR]

Classic metal isn't even considered metal anymore. Because these new **** bands take it to a whole new level and just try to be as heavy as possible. No song structure no melody... Bands like Madien and Metallica look like pop bands compared to them. But who's music is better? I say classic metal ;)

Edit: *^stole them and ate them.* :evil:

[StreetlightRock]

Well im glad everyone had fun with my organs :D

And, yea im in Singgas, it isnt as bad as it sounds, gum is semi-legal, as in you can have it but you can't sell it. Drug trafficking = instant death sentence. But its pretty good. And hell yea, Classic metal kicks alot of new metlas ***. except for melodic stuff. like children of Bodom and Kalmah. aaannyyway.... Whats a Pink Floyd light show? I heard it mentioned. What is it?

DVG.

[paddy_undefeated]

Im really getting into Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen is the man.

[VoodooChild]

Drug trafficking = instant death sentence.

:eek: That absolutely SUCKS! Drugs ain't that bad... :angry:

[Badmoon]

We need drugs to keep the chaos in the world down. :lol:

[RNR]

But drugs make you go lalalalalalala. Why would you kill somebody for going lalalalalalalala?

Good ol LSD ;)

[RadKeysPlayer]

Good hair bands would definitaly be considered classic metal.

LSD..leading sixties drug (lol, i know it has a more technical term but eh)

[Badmoon]

Okay, notice the title people.

I'm drawing the line

-----------------------------------------------------

[Ham 'n Eggs123]

Pink Floyd is overrated.

[a guitar player]

Pink Floyd is overrated.

pink floyd is a great band. ever listen to dark side of the moon a classic. they are a good band.

[RNR]

Pink Floyd is great. I love the whole feel of their songs. Such nice laid back rythem and good singing. Not to mention David Gilmore solos and their trippy songs. Very little better than some pink floyd when you're high.

[StreetlightRock]

Pink Floyd is overrated.

*gasp* EVIL! No way! Pink Floyd made some of the most AMAZING music ever. What the've done... will never be acheived by musicians of today. Thing singing was great, the bass was great, the guitar was great, the EVERYTHING was great!

I'm drawing the line

-----------------------------------------------------

Awww... come on! Which Classic Rock star didnt take drugs?

*starts singining cocaine*

DVG.

[VoodooChild]

Frank Zappa never toook any drugs. I'm pretty sure....







































I think?

[jimmypumpkin]

Yeah, FZ never did any drugs, or drank alcohol for that matter. He did, however, like ciggarettes.

[thenannymoh]

Hard to imagine that a guy who didn't take drugs would bestow his kids with names like "Moon Unit".

[RNR]

Frank Zappa never toook any drugs. I'm pretty sure....

I think?


Ok one in several thosand. And Frank Zappa was average to good. Nothing special.

[Badmoon]

^ Wahh!!

He's a genius

With The Mothers - Humorous genius
Without - All around genius

Listen to Hot Rats

[Badmoon]

*gasp* EVIL! No way! Pink Floyd made some of the most AMAZING music ever. What the've done... will never be acheived by musicians of today. Thing singing was great, the bass was great, the guitar was great, the EVERYTHING was great!

I was drawing the line for Classic Metal.

and I'm sure Zappa took drugs a few times.

[jimmypumpkin]

Ok one in several thosand. And Frank Zappa was average to good. Nothing special.


I'm in too much shock to respond. You obviousely haven't heard enough Zappa. And I have read various interviews, and seen numerous video footage where Zappa states that he never took any drugs, and never wanted to. He was an avid smoker. Nothing else.

[iluvholly]

why hasnt any one said any thing about guns n roses. there my favorite band. slash is amazing on guitar, really melodic.

[RockAndRoll]

aaannyyway.... Whats a Pink Floyd light show? I heard it mentioned. What is it?

DVG.

It's a light show done to pink floyd msuic (played live).


Pink Floyd is overrated. what makes you think that?

Which Classic Rock star didnt take drugs?
I beleive gene simmons didn't, i hate the guy but it's still true.

[Badmoon]

why hasnt any one said any thing about guns n roses. there my favorite band. slash is amazing on guitar, really melodic.

I believe we have, your jusy lazy to look, so you assume.

[VoodooChild]

I believe we have, your jusy lazy to look, so you assume.

Just like the other 50 random n00bs that have posted in here :upset:

[Badmoon]

Yeah, this thread is now closer to a board then it is a thread.


Classic Rock thread = Not just a place, but a state of mind.

[andy]

classic rock is the best. The doors, the who, the beatles, dramarama, the cure, sp, and others.

[Badmoon]

La Cure es no Classical Rock

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

for awhile i was only into more mainstream music. One day i heard "come together" by the Beatles on the radio and i remember thinking "wow, this is really good" So i started listening to the Beatles. Then i started hearing Hendrix, which made me think, "old music is the sh*t". now i listen to mostly all classic rock, with the exception of a few newer bands,which started in the 80's and just kept making good music.

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

pink floyd is a great band. ever listen to dark side of the moon a classic. they are a good band.

i never go into Pink Floyd, and i dont see whats so great about Dark Side of the Moon. (Money is a kick *** song though)

[Lateralias]

Hendrix's Ghost... have you heard Pink Floyd's other material other than DSOTM? If you havent check out The Wall and Animals, they somewhat have a different sounding style than Dark Side.

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

ok I will. thanks

[RockAndRoll]

If your a new listener (to them) I would reccomend wish you were here.

[RNR]

It seems like the n00bs just kind of say. "yeah I like classic rock" and then list some band names. We were past that about 700 posts ago.

[Veteran of the psychic wars]

Wishbone Ash videos (http://wishboneash.com/media.asp)
Check out 'Time Was'. It's an excellent song. Give it a listen, it's actually quite a quick download.

[sillydave]

Hendrixs Ghost, also check out Comfortably Numb. Most awesome solo ever ;).

Haven't seen much talk on Rolling Stones or Stone Temple Pilots. Anyone like them? (Yes i have read all pages of the thread a while ago)

Also, what do you thinking of Velvet Revolver? (Stone Temple Pilots + GnR basically) I think they could start to convert a few people.

[Freebird]

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.

Yeah most of my friends love zepelin and skynyrd

[nananabatman!]

I think I'm a 40 year old stuck in a 14 year old's body. Classics bands are almost the only thing I listen to. I hate this crap whiny music today. I've always wanted to know if Nirvana is classic yet or if it'll ever be. It really sucks that Kurt died before i could go to any of his concerts. that ba****d! Zepplin and AC/DC rule. oh and The who and the doors do too

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

I think Velvet Revolver is going to be the return of good music. Their songs are awsome, and Slash's guitar work is classic. Their CD comes out next month I think

[Badmoon]

There is good music going around now, it just hasn't took control of the mainstream.

[IvortheEngineDriver]

I was like that until I was 18...I listened only the Who and Zeppelin throughout High School...you have to understand that there are great bands out today...I mean, nothing better than Tool, IMO.

But, I am a fan of Prog: Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, etc.

Anyone else like the prog?

[RNR]

Slash is the most underated guitarist ever. I mean people notice how good he is but not fully. The guy's a machine ;)

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

Slash is my hero

[a guitar player]

Slash is my hero

i would have thought hendrix was

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

him too

[Badmoon]

Slash is the most underated guitarist ever. I mean people notice how good he is but not fully. The guy's a machine ;)

He's a great, but he's not that underrated. Check out Stephen Stills, now there is an underrated guitarist.

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

You know whos an underrated guitarist?

ME!!!! :D :thumb: :p :lol:

[rocknotroll]

^Post a link to some of your playing and we will be the judges. Unless you were kidding which i'm very sure you were.

Oh yeah and some ****ing cunt banned me for no reason so i'm using this name until I get my ban apealed.

[Badmoon]

^ Zero said you have a one day ban.

[VoodooChild]

RNR - What did you do?

[Hair Metal Man]

classic rock is great. man i like
The Eagles
Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix

[Badmoon]

Here's a game for everyone

Name some Classic rock bands, and think of a band that is closest to them in this modern day (though you can go a little bit earlier than the present time).

Ex. Pink floyd - Radiohead
The Who - Pearl Jam
The Grateful Dead - Phish

[Hendrix22]

the reason so many kids listen to classic rock now is because todays rock has become so crappy they turn to older and better music like me. Some of todays rock is ok but mostly is just bad. Like my fav bands, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Weezer, Zeppelin, The Doors.........

[jetblackfender07]

**** right good charlotte sucks.

ok i will start

led zepplin-
next person puts who is the closest and picks a new person

Nah Tool's not even close to Zepplin but go you for the Genisis loving. I do like one band that's out today, anybody know Rammstein. They're pretty good in a german rave music kinda way. Anyway..............ouch my brain hurts..................................

[Badmoon]

ok i will start

led zepplin-
next person puts who is the closest and picks a new person

No, you put who you think would match

Rolling Stones - The Black Crowes

[B0nz0]

i'd do this except i'm too disgusted with contemperary music to come up with any matches. i have no clue about any new band. o well.

[lunch998]

Most new music is so unoriginal and it all sounds the same.
I think Led Zeppelin is the best band ever, but i dont mean to overshadow all the other great classic rock bands you guys have been talking about.....The Who, Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, etc........
Also I play drums and drummers back then were great....Bonzo, Mitchell, Ginger Baker and Keith Moon.

Classic rock is awesome

[RNR]

Mitch Mitchell is a pretty underated drummer. I mean who really listens to the drums when Jimi is play?

And I love Led Zeppelin but i'm going to break something if another person posts about them being the best band ever.

[Badmoon]

but i'm going to break something if another person posts about them being the best band ever.

^ Your coming along nicely :)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i still think Led Zeppelin are the greatest rock band ever, but i dont feel the need to preach it.

anyways, I aggree that Mitch Mitchell is one hell of a drummer. The only surviving member of the Experience :( his drum work on "fire" is still some of the most enjoyable skin beatings ive ever heard. than Jimi had to go along with his band of gypsys and Mitch was left hanging dry for awhile, but ill always think of him as Jimi's drummer.

[lunch998]

Yea, Mitchells definitely great, and hes underrated cause people tend to look just at Hendrix but there was more to the Experience then just Jimi.

And sorry for saying Led zeppelin is the best band ever......i guess you've probably heard that a lot by now.

[lunch998]

A great Mitchell track is Manic depression on Are you Experienced. He really makes that song.

[B0nz0]

i love zeppelin as much as the next guy, but i think that while they are great, the slot of "best band ever" still belongs to the Beatles. sorry guys.
and as for mitchell, he's one of my biggest influences. his drumming was always creative and unique. if jimi's guitar and vocals didn't scream Jimi Hendrix so obviously, one could identify an experience song just because of mitch's unique style. and while everyone gives mitch lots of praise for his excellent chops in manic depression and fire, his real talent was knowing how to drum aggressively and not ruin a song. and when not to drum aggressively, which is probably even more important. he was a great all around drummer, easily in the top 3 of his peers (or british drummers around in the mid to late 60's, the other two in the top 3 are ginger baker of cream and keith moon of the who). spectacular drummer

[lunch998]

Yea i agree. the Beatles are easily the "Best Band Ever" and the most important as far as rock music. and what you said about Mitchell is completely true. Ginger Baker and Moon are amazing as well.

[RNR]

The Who.

Remember? This is the thread where we name bands if we have nothing else to say :)

[Evo]

Can I join the MX Fathers of Time?

[oldskoolsolo]

many say that beatles shouldn't even be considered rock.

some call them pop. :upset:

[oldskoolsolo]

oh right

velvet underground

[RNR]

many say that beatles shouldn't even be considered rock.

some call them pop. :upset:

I call them pop, but who cares what they are. They are awesome.

And to evo, we will see. We need at least 2 more members to vote yes.

[mandude9]

what do you guys think aobut bands like cold play and gorkys zygotic mynci
which is better the helloween version of hocus pocus or the focus version
(focus is the original)

[mandude9]

and the red hot chili peppers

[RNR]

what do you guys think aobut bands like cold play and gorkys zygotic mynci
which is better the helloween version of hocus pocus or the focus version

Huh? What are you trying to say?



Edit: I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers but they aren't classic rock.

[Badmoon]

I call them pop, but who cares what they are. They are awesome.

And to evo, we will see. We need at least 2 more members to vote yes.

Pop isn't really a genre

Pop = Popular

No band has contol over that.

[mandude9]

also through the thread you faisl to mention CSN&Y,the kinks, kansas, ARS, adn zz top

[Badmoon]

^ We have mentioned CSNY, open your eyes, and learn how to spell.

[Nuge_Fan_#1]

Nah Tool's not even close to Zepplin but go you for the Genisis loving. I do like one band that's out today, anybody know Rammstein. They're pretty good in a german rave music kinda way. Anyway..............ouch my brain hurts..................................

Led Zeppelin does kill.

Rammstein was one of my favorite bands until I translated their lyrics into English. I didn't like that much. But they still do rock. :thumb:

[Badmoon]

Citizens of the Classic Rock thread. I have posted a new review in the Cd review board, check it out :)

[clown_phobia]

is Dark Side OF The Moon really as good as it's reputation?

[Badmoon]

^No, speaking from man who likes Pink Floyd.

[Evo]

It's a great album, IMO, but Animals and Wish You Were Here are better...

[clown_phobia]

many sources say its the best classic rock

[Badmoon]

^ Many sources go with the rest of the pack *winks and does that "chaa" thing*

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

what do you guys think aobut bands like cold play and gorkys zygotic mynci
which is better the helloween version of hocus pocus or the focus version
(focus is the original)

i think they are a sad excuse of a "rock and roll band" and have no buisness covering a band as grand as Helloween when they are not able to pull it off musically.

[RockAndRoll]

many say that beatles shouldn't even be considered rock.

some call them pop. :upset:


It doesn't matter they sound great regardless of what you call them, rock, pop, crap on a log, it doesn't change their sound, it's just perception.

[hendrix in training]

classic rock rule......
but my favourite band is aerosmith. although they are labelled under "hard rock" , they are famous for their electric blues, which somehow is like classic rock.
few of my fav classic rock bands are: led zep, the who, blah blah blah

[StreetlightRock]

Aerosmith are indeed good. Oh yea, and a lil' off topic, im gonna see Steve Vai in two months W00t!

DVG.

[Girl-Playing-Bass]

Oh yea, and a lil' off topic, im gonna see Steve Vai in two months W00t!

DVG.

that's three weeks for me :cool:

[magicbus]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

i agree completely with your thinking that there might be a revival. i just turned 17 last week, and for the last year or 2 I've only been listening to Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Hendrix, The Who, Clapton, pretty much everything you mentioned. glad to see its not just me. except my parents probably think i'm on drugs, but its cool.

[pinballwizard]

i love classic rock it is the only music i listen to other then metallica megadeth and slayer.
i love led zeppelin, pink floyd, the beatles, alice cooper, van halen, kiss, jimmy hendrix, the doors, the who, deep purple, yardbirds, rolling stones, black sabbath, very little of ac/dc, bob dylan, bob seger, rush, eric clapton the list goes on. and i have noticed more people getting into classic rock.

[RockAndRoll]

Out of curiosity who's got some good old classic rock hair going on?

[Evo]

^ I wish. Mine looks kind of like a cross between Paul McCartney and post-'Brave New World' Bruce Dickinson.

[magicbus]

heh i had classic rock hair, kinda like john paul jones early on, but i recently got it cut. hopefully a revival will kill off that nu-metal stuff. that would be sweet.

[Sonic_Reducer]

right now i'm rockin the 70's white boy fro. it looks quite a bit like dylans late 60's hair.

[B0nz0]

wow thanx guys. never dreamed that this little thread would come anywhere near 1000 posts, but u guys breezed past that mark! anyways i have the early beatles hair cut. well not really. ok not at all, lol, my hair is just normal hair.

[cmn5864]

Never heard of them. Name a few good songs by them and i'll download them.

Stealin' is my personal fave by them.

[VoodooChild]

I look like Derek Trucks. I'm like his twin except I'm only 16. And my hair is almost long enough to put into a pony tail like his, but not quite.

By the way, I got bad news. Phish is done.... I'll post a thread about it later.

but can u play guitar like him?

Phish done? why? didn't they like just get back together. gah. o well at least the dead are touring again.

[Badmoon]

^They were on hiatus, and :upset:, and my old username :upset:.

[VoodooChild]

No I can't play guitar like Derek, he's way too fudging amazing.

Phish is done forever... Look in the pit for my friend...

Badmoon, you got banned?

[DVG2]

I've got a 'fro going 8) Well, sorta, the holidays start soon, so im just gonna let my hair grow wild... and it grows outwards, gar.

Ohoh and. : pissed off: I just heard Aerosmiths 'Dream On' and it sounds Exactally (well that bit anyway), like that Eminem song which is supposedly hailed his greatest song yet. I didnt realised the guy stole so much! Zepps "Kasmir", this, and another one, the bit where it goes "Three trailer park girl go round me outside, etc" Thats off another song too, i just dont know which one... gar.

DVG.

[nisdahunk]

I dig a lot of classic rock bands no. Couldn't see anyone mentioning The Kinks on the first pages? Thats a classic rock band too. Beach Boys also made a lot of awesome tunes...

[progdrumman]

Kansas, Kansas, Kansas

[punk/rock]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

dude, i fill the same way. one of the first bands i can remember ever listening to is Kiss. one of the first songs i learned on guitar was i wanna rock and roll all night by kiss. at the moment i am listening to ac/dc, i just think classic rock has so much passion instead of this rap crap. it actually takes time and dedication to play these songs.

[stand and deliver!]

i love classic rock like led zeppelin cream and the rolling stones
but i hate this whole ironic retro rock that has reared it's ugly head

[RadKeysPlayer]

I'm not a huge retro rock fan either. I think the majority of it is crap. Long live the classics. I'd like a new sound to blend in with classic rock, kinda like how the synth accompanied rock artist in the 80s

[Badmoon]

What you need to be a good classic rock band - Influence and a lot of it

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

what are your guys opinions on Bill Wyman as a bassiest in The Rolling Stones and his songwriting skills as a solo artist?

[Badmoon]

^I find that he is a solid bassist, and a pretty good songwriter. Kind of a pervert, but come on! Who isn't these days.

[sheenaisapunkrocker]

yea hes a cool bassist but not heard any of his solo stuff

[2112-Shredder]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

Well, I certainly hope classic rock is coming back....
I can't stand to turn on the radio today and hear all this punk, emo, and other crap....Why don't they just keep it simple? With all these worthless genres...
I also think music has a lack of talent these days. Like that all that worthless screaming (The worst song ever i heard with screaming is a LP song where the guy screamed "Shut UP" like 20 times) and bad guitar riffs and solos.

I hope I can do my part in reviving classic rock. Me and my cousin have formed a classic rock band hoping to revive classic rock in our area. BTW if you have any experience with this or just have any advice plz email me at tylermart@sw.rr.com...

Gather around kids, Badmoon will now speak his thoughts...

You don't want a Classic Rock revival band. You want a band that inbodies something similar to the bands from the 60's to the 70's. Classic Rock revival is cheesy, it's wannabe like, and it's trying to label yourself so you get people to listen. Plus it is now a stereo type. You should make decisions like, let me give an example. We all said that The Black Crowes resembled a Classic Rock band more than any other. Well, The Black Crowes were not trying to revive anything. They were just playing some what they felt, and that usually was Blues Rock songs, that you can (probably because of influence) easily compare to The Rolling Stones. They had everything an early 70's group had. Dual guitars, rangy vocalist, organ, and a good solid bassist and drummer. So, what I'm trying to say is, don't try to change the world (Unless your a folk band), just try to do what you feel is right, and try to be unique, and try to set the standards. Your influence will bring you to what you want. So, just shut up and play your music.

[RNR]

^There are still some bands like that. Just none in the mainstream. Back when Zeppelin, pink floyd, Eric Clapton, Hendrix and all of those other well known bands were in the mainstream it was easy to get into it. But now since kids don't like that kind of stuff all of the rock and roll bands are unknown. The Black Crowes are a well known classic rock band. So are The Darkness but they suck.

It'd Be great to change the music scene. But your right, that the way to go about it is not to be a "classic rock revival band" It's just to go out there and play whatever the hell you like (which admittedly for us shall be largely classic rock influenced) and if you're lucky people will catch on.

Well, with a lot of new clans starting up I think their should be a classic rock clan. If there is already one, please tell me, if there isn't then is anyone interested in starting one up?

P.s. I'm trying to fit the old F.O.T. logo into a new avatar I'm making. Just to show I have not abandoned the brotherhood.

[Ozzyrocks4]

holy sh!t im obsessed with almost all classic rock its like all i listen to.....not to be closed-minded or anything but....in general they had a lot more talent and songwriting than many of the new bands of today....like nu-metal and rap and pop and emo....like none of that sh*t requires talent (well, to a certain extent it does) but nowhere near the amount that classic rock did... most classic rock has an awesome "feel" to the song too, like my fave band AC/DC, for example, most of their songs have kickass-sounding solos in them with a lot of feel in them and angus is a f***ing maniac on guitar!.....or van halen(gunna see them in toronto on july 3!!!!!)..... they made just bizarre songs....some of those solos r crazy! but like a lot of new songs dont even have solos in them! its not all about the solos, either. Like most classic rock songs have clever, catchy, powerful riffs in them that make you fall in love with the song.... if you listen to a new music radio station and hear like good charlotte or something like that....like.... there are exceptions, but most of them are almost completely talentless! .....this is all my opinion so plz dont like....freak out lol peace

[Badmoon]

I was just listening to Yes, and I came to the conclusion that Steve Howe is one of the most underrated guitarist ever. I mean he gets credit, but definatley not enough. He is one hell of a beautiful player (musically, not physically).

Okay, let's do this. Post your top 10 fav C.R. guitarists, being that I have brought up Steve Howe, who is a guitarist.

Not in any order

Guitarists
--------------
Jerry Garcia
Steve Howe
Frank Zappa
Stephen Stills
Duane Allman
Ry Cooder
Robert Fripp
Pete Townshend
George Harrison
Robby Krieger

[madridfan]

Earlier in this forum there was a comment on the kind of revival (too strong a word, but for lack of a better) of the Classic rock. Well, I must say that I've noticed that too. Every other guitarist I know loves classic. Well ya, there are some idiots who worship the contemporary metal and crap like that, but for the most part, all classic. Personally, my fav bands include: Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles, and much, much more :D.

I'm not sure whether this question was posted earlier or not, since I'm a new member, but who do you guys think was the top guitarist of that era? I think Page...

I think the reason most guitarists like classic is because they apreciate the creativity and awsome instrumentals, since they've familiarized themselves with the skill it takes to write and play songs. Some new music is creative and awsome, but not quite like classic rock. Jimi Hendrix was a God :thumb:

[newmusicsucks]

For those who hate classic rock, here is a question. How many of the bands/artists that have emerged since 2000, that still have a carreer, will be remember in 30 or 40 years? Now think about the overwhelming number of bands that are remembered today by so many people. Rap/emo/punk/pop/everything not rock can kiss my *** for hating.

[GarinStone]

Since 2000 i don't think any. I think RHCP and Smashing Pumpkins and Incubus, maybe a couple others will be remembered that long, but Linkin Park and Korn aren't gonna get airplay in 40 years the way Zeppelin (ok 30 years) is.

[-=The_Dude=-]

I wish i lived in the 60's. It was all about the music then.

[On The Edge]

Sorry for my absence, i was accidently banned (i think).

I havent really heard much talk about the eagles. A great band- good songs include: Hotel California, Life in the fast lane and Heartache Tonight

As for other classic rock lets go down under with Australian Crawl. If you haven't heard any of there songs, there worth checking out. Reccomended songs: Land Down Under and The Boys light up.

Also check out Franz Ferninand (sp?). Not entirely Classic rock, but a catchy guitar riff (All goes to bring instrument orientated music into mainstream)

Over and Out, dave

[Baodegoth]

i didn't read all the post but those i saw never mentioned queen! i don't know if you consider classic rock as in the type of music or as in the decade it was done...anyway queen are 100% rock and the best.....pink floyd is another great band!!! peace out & keep rockin'

[RockAndRoll]

I'm not in FOT because i missed the day when it was made.

as for guitarists

Clapton
Hendrix
Page
Fripp (okay not really classic rock, but i really like him)
Zappa
Robby krieger was also good, not over the top or anything, he laid kind of low, but he had a very nice style.

[Ephemeral]

ya i get made fun of alot at school because I listen to Classic rock. There is like two other kids in my school who have the same musical tastes as I do. We are kinda the out casts but i don't care! I will continue to where my Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin Shirts! but ya Neil young is kind of underestimated because of his singing and some of his country-like songs but Neil young is more than that WAY MORE!! Like Mr. Soul, Cinnimon Girl, The Loner, Down by the river....

I always implied that you knew you were, and so did everyone else, but you didn't want an avatar or anything. You want me to make you an avatar? If so name 4 bands, and perhaps your favorite albums by them.

[Badmoon]

Mr. Soul

He wrote that in Buffalo Springfield...For the record...

[Ephemeral]

oh right, but still you get the point.

Hey have you guys heard any Chet Atkins? He is a GREAT fingerstyle guitarist.

[Badmoon]

^Yeah, he's great. The world of rock needs some new good finger picking guitarists.

[RNR]

Neil young is a god of lyrics. The only lyrics I like better are Bob Dylan's and Pete Townshend's.

[Badmoon]

Anybody buy some good CDs lately? Doesn't matter what genre.

[Ephemeral]

nah my dads old records are good enuf for me. I am planning on buying some more Floyd Albums...

[RNR]

No. But I did burn a bunch of cds off of the original vinals ;). Oh and I bought Metallica-Ride the lighting, but you guys don't care about that...

[Ephemeral]

He said Doesn't matter what genre. so that means yes, we do care! Have you guys heard Classical Gas by Mason Williams? Great song.

That'd be great, Let's see....

The Who - the kids are alright
Cream - Wheels of fire
Supertramp - Crime of the century
The doors - self titled

Ahh i wish i'd bought some new CD's recently but i'm kind of low on cash, (and my discman is broken) But my brithday's coming up soon so hopefully i'll be getting some good stuff.

[free_thinkers_are_dangerous]

april wine - weeping widow.


bloody good song.

[RockAndRoll]

Yes, april wine has some good stuff

(the avatar won't work for me it keeps telling me it's too big)

[Riovanne]

Alright, to start off I'll respond to the initial post by saying that I love the Birdland album. I just really started listening to Rock and Roll (classic, none of this new shi-ite) about a year ago, and it was one of the first true albums I picked up. 'Nough about that.

As for my favorite bands, Zeppelin tops all of them, closely followed by Boston, Bad Company, Rush, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd (the band that got me started), Cheap Trick (what can I say, I'm from Rockford), Cream, Alice Cooper, the Yardbirds and several others that I know I'm forgetting. I like some of the Who's and the Beatles' stuff, but I started listening to them after Zeppelin, and there is just no comparison.

As for the Darkness, they're fun. I know they're not as good as the classics, but if you listen to them a bit and give them a chance, they can be a pretty cool band. Plus their live shows are awesome.

[Badmoon]

Yes, april wine has some good stuff

(the avatar won't work for me it keeps telling me it's too big)

Are you going to take the avatar?

[RNR]

It's too big or something.


On another note does anybody like Kenny Wayne Shepard. I love his bluesy style and guitar playing. One of the best players that is still fairly new :thumb:. Also an awesome band.

[RockAndRoll]

Are you going to take the avatar?
I would but it's something like 75 bites over the limit and i'm admittedly not very good with computers.

[Badmoon]

^I'll fix it, you'll have it by tommorow.

[abcvh]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

Listen To Montrose,

Such a great group, and horribly underrated.

[RockAndRoll]

^I'll fix it, you'll have it by tommorow.
Thanks for all of this :thumb:

[DVG2]

BTW, what you all think of Oasis?

DVG.

[Badmoon]

^They're mostly good, in my opinion. But that song "Wonderwall" is just so popish and annoying. I also hate how people realate them to The Bealtes. That is just so idiotic.

[RNR]

Oasis isn't bad. I mean there's so many more bands that I like better but they're alright. Not really classic rock though.

[systmj]

um...have we forgotten the great and allmighty Black Sabbath? Sure, if metal isn't your "thing", you should atleast acknowledge their influence to alot of bands today.

[Badmoon]

^Well, no we have mentioned them, and they are a Classic Rock band before a metal.

[RNR]

Yeah and they kick ***. Next n00b...

*next n00b who didn't bother to read the thread before making asumptions comes forward from the line*

[KenRocks9]

I dont know if its getting a revival. My closest friends and I all love classic rock but all the kids at our school have ****ty music tastes and like rap and pop. There are even kids who have bad tastes in music inside of rock. In my school there is no revival of classic rock but its popular amongst my friends with good tastes.

[RNR]

How old are you? Most likely this guy is in middle school or junior high or something. Not a bad thing but people tend to get better tastes in music as they get older.

[gratefulphisher88]

Im only 15, and i like very few bands from the 90s and today. quite a few were dead before i ever heard of them. my favorites are:

grateful dead
Allman Brothers
skynyrd
Led Zeppelin (who is not overrated. the reason they seem that way is they are that good)
Jimi Hendrix
Cream/Clapton
Bob Marley (i know he's not classic rock, but still...)
pink floyd
neil young
stevie ray vaughan

But, there are some good bands from today:
PHISH-widespread panic-oasis-pearl jam-moe.-goo goo dolls(if you like punk get their old stuff)-radiohead...

[RNR]

Awesome. That's a better list than most people who post their favorite classic rock bands here.

you rock man i totally agree that led zeppelin and the beatles are the greatest bands of all time, i own every single one of each of their albums and i rap more than the devil along with this new wannabe punk rock(simple plan, blink 182 so on) no "musicians" nowdays can even play the instruments yet mark hoppus the pick using, one-note the whole song, untalented dick gets his own endorsment from fender before jaco pastorius or geddy lee. it makes me sick

^Ahem! Geez I never knew that Kenny Wayne Shepard was so hated :upset:

[Badmoon]

^ I like him, saw him open for Ted Nugent and ZZtop. It was sweet, because he played really early. So, I was able to run up to the front of the stage, because few people had arrived yet. Did "Voddoo Child" great :thumb:

[Riovanne]

Rock has gotten some semblence of a revival in amongst my group of friends (which I suppose is fairly large). That's pretty much all we listen to because we realized our parents were right when they said their music was a lot better than the pop/punk crap we were listening to in junior high.

[Metallica3130]

ALL of my friends enjoy at least some classic rock. I think its gonna make a comeback and I hope it does. We are in desparat need of some better guitar playing in modern songs.

David Crosby said it all. The industry is to predictable, and the record industry is ran by people are actually aren't really interested in music. The music industry needs to be ran by music lovers, and album collectors.

[Badmoon]

Kids, if you want a good true band. LISTEN TO CROSBY!!!!!!! I wish he would manage my band, but first I would have to get a band.

lol if ur good at an instrument i'd be in ur band. at least i wouldn't be playing crap music. and if we're managed by david crosby, well even better.

i liked crosby stills nash and young a lot. also liked crosby stills and nash. so i know nash is from the byrds and young and stills were from buffalo springfield, but where did crosby get his start?

[RNR]

Yes but they are also the reasons that many of the older bands were enjoyed by millions of people. The record companys of today are cunts. But then again nobody important actually cares about the mainstream.

Oh ya...

1. your thoughts on the movie almost famous? Personally i loved it, i have 2 versions, bootleeg cut and original theatrical version and i can't stand watching the shorter one (which is still quite long) (and i think ironically is the bootleg cut) because you just don't get the same sense of everything.

2. Your thoughts on Elton john. I say he's got some good stuff, not my favourite artist but not bad either.

Almost Famous = One of my favorite movies. It is actually a true story, no matter what everyone says. William is Cameron Crowe, and that first scene with Lester Bangs I can prove is true. Read Lester Bangs's biography.

Your thoughts on Elton john. I say he's got some good stuff, not my favourite artist but not bad either.

As a person, I think he's an idiot, but most of his music I like.

I'm absolutely sure you have heard more, but you may not know. Like...

Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul
Buffalo Springfield - Bluebird
Buffalo Springfield - Broken Arrow
Buffalo Springfield - Sit Down, I think I love You

(Keep in mind The Byrds do a lot of Dylan covers)

The Byrds - Turn, Turn, Turn
The Byrds - Mr. Bojangles
The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
The Byrds - The Times are Changin'

^I believe those are some songs by B.S and T.B that you would know (Not necessarily by name, but overall each song will probably sound familar.

Yea, Corsey really does say it all, its actually very sad.

Almost famous is a great movie! I dono, it just really rocked, the encapsulated the entire music industry back then, and just had this 'rock n' roll' feel about, which i loved.

And Elton Johns music is great, i reckon hes an amazing songwriter and some of his music is magical. lol, but as badmoon said, hes a bit strange. I dont like how he played with Blue on that song though... The piano in it was good, but still. heh, i saw a pair of his one of his first glasses (the big flashy ones) down at the Hard Rock hotel in Bali, it was pretty cool.

DVG.

[Badmoon]

That PBS thing is cool

Oh ya...

1. your thoughts on the movie almost famous? Personally i loved it, i have 2 versions, bootleeg cut and original theatrical version and i can't stand watching the shorter one (which is still quite long) (and i think ironically is the bootleg cut) because you just don't get the same sense of everything.

2. Your thoughts on Elton john. I say he's got some good stuff, not my favourite artist but not bad either.

^I'm sorry I had to cut one album off, but it wouldn't fit.

Soooo, I went out and bought a Gov't Mule album finaly after downloading about 20 songs from Bearshare. I had spare money and plus, it's not fun waiting an hour for a 10 minute song. I got Deepest End (with the spare DVD even though I'm poor and do not posses a DVD player. I have to go to my friend's house...) and I have been enjoying that CD to the max! Warren Haynes is a madman. This CD has some of the best jamming I've heard in a while. They are heavily blues influenced and that makes them near perfect. Since Allen Woody passed away in 2000 in this concert they use about a dozen different bassists from Claypool to Flea. They did some cool covers like "Voodoo Child" which made me spooge and more others... There are 20 songs on the 2 CD's and about 20 more on the DVD. I highly recomend people of this C.R. thread buying this album and all of the other Gov't Mule albums. Well, I'm gonna go back to working on this school thing. I'll see you guys later. Peace...

Who do you guys think does the best guitar fills in Classic rock? I'd say it's Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits or Eric Clapton.

Or I guess it can be any kind of fills. I really liked Mitch Mitchell's drum fills when he was in Jimi Hendrix Exp he plays with so much power. It totally made the whole thing better, it wasn't just Jimi going all of the work.

[Badmoon]

^Well, come on!! The award with no doubt goes to Keith Moon. No one can do fills like him.

Who do you guys think does the best guitar fills in Classic rock? I'd say it's Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits or Eric Clapton.

Duane Allman :thumb:

[RNR]

Yeah he's better at fills. I just like Mitchell more. Keith Moon's easily in my top 5.

[brolnsht14]

I think that a good enough classic rock band or any kind of band for that matter, if their music is good enough, it speaks to everyone and in my opinion, that is why the beatles, stones, zeppelin, etc. are still huge today.

[RNR]

No band speaks to everyone. What about the stupid death metal people?

At my highschool, I am seeing a huge revival in classic rock. Ive always been a fan of classic rock but I've recently seen some people who have been die hard heavy metal type of people give more folk and blues based rock a shot in recent years. I am all for it. The more people who I can share my taste in music with, the better.

My personal favorite classic rock bands/artists are

Led Zeppelin
The Beatles
Pink Floyd
AC/DC
Boston
Queen
Bob Dylan
Van Halen
Jimi Hendrix
Guns N Roses
The Who
Peter Frampton


But unlike some other classic rock fans I am willing, and in fact, I am trying new music everday.

Recently, I've gotten into more modern bands such as Incubus, Muse, the Darkness, the White Stripes and Audioslave.

[vipsquad2]

I have many favorite Classic rock bands here are a few :thumb:

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Cream
Deep Purple
Queen
The Eagles

[RNR]

That reminds me. I want to learn more about The Eagles. Download suggestions please (please don't say Hotel California, i've heard it enough...).

[Kentucky Fried Chicken]

Classic Rock

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?


I know what you mean, I've always kinda liked classic rock but recently I've grown to loving it. Bands like The Kinks, Ac/DC, Deep purple, The Beetles, Metallica, Credance Clearwater revival, Jimmy Hendrix etc. Pretty much 60's and up was the golden age for Rock

[Badmoon]

Metallica I'm hoping your not thinking Metallica is a Classic Rock bands, and I'm hoping your not thinking Metallica and ACDC are from the 60's.

[Pretzel Head]

Love Dire Straits, they inspired me to keep going with music. Mark Knopfler is my hero. The Eagles are great too. Clapton or course is still god.

Check out Desperado rock not roll, one of my all time favourite songs.

[RNR]

Oh, and not Desperado. I mean like less known songs.

And yes Dire Straits kicks some major ***.

[amused to death]

as ive not posted here for a while, ill re-irerate what i always say.....Pink Floyd!!!

[RNR]

I agree, Pink Floyd is awesome. Please no more posts like that though.

[amused to death]

Sorry, just thought id vent some pent up feelings. ive found some people who dont appreciate them, or other bands like Dire Straits and Led Zep. It annoys me, y'see

[RNR]

Everybody who matters appreciates Pink Floyd. And even mst people don't matter.

[StreetlightRock]

Lol, BTW, what do you guys think of Roger Waters voice? I mean, personally, i reckon its amazing and it fits the music great, but i was talking to a frined of mine the other day and she said she found it very... duotonous. like going on and on sorta. if you dig. I get whats she getting at but... yea. Don't diss the frined, i respect her opinion so yea, just wondering if any of you felt the same way?

DVG.

[amused to death]

David Waters? If you mean Pink Floyd, its either Roger waters or David Gilmour. And i prefer Gilmours, as Waters is too theatrical. Works on the Wall, but not so much on their other albums...

[StreetlightRock]

Roger, sorry

DVG.

[RNR]

Pink Floyd is really overplayed. Well from what i've heard on the radio. This one radio station in my city plays them like 6 times a day. And it's mostly the same songs.

[fitzy]

The Beetles

you make me sick.

B-E-A-T-L-E-S

[onamazingjourney23]

And of course there are more hugely popular Classic Rock bands that should be known forever. Like, The Who (My favorite). They make music like no other. Each member was fabulous, all craftman. Or The Grateful Dead, who defined a generation, and started a long line of San Fransico bands. Or Crosby, Stills Nash, and Young. Who in many ways were the American, more talented Beatles. They had it all. For most Classic rock listens, that band is usually over looked, and The Grateful Dead.

I recomend all Classic Rock listeners to listen to these lesser known Classic Rock bands

Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, The Hollies, Blind Faith, Big Bro and Holding Company, The Mother of Invention, The Lovin' Spoonful, ect. There is just to much to name.

i saw The Who two weeks ago in madison square garden kicked ***

[Badmoon]

^ Yeah, even though there not in their prime they still put on a great show. The concerts are always great usually becuase everyone knows the words, so that just adds to the songs. A crowd that is one and united = Only at a Who concert.

[Ephemeral]

awsome! ok here are a list of bands that i would like but sadly will never get to see;

1. The Who
2. Led Zeppelin
3. SRV
4. Van Halen
5. Hendrix
6. Eagles
7. Neil Young
8. Heart
9. Beatles
10. Pink Floyd
11. The Kinks
12. Clapton
13. Guns N Roses

And many many more...

[Badmoon]

^ Nice :thumb:

Keep The Who at the top of that list and your cool by me :)

[RNR]

^Neil Young will go on tour soon. Van Halen is having a huge tour this summer. Heart is still making music and will do some shows, The Who are still touring. And go to Autralian Pink Floyd.

To the guy above badmoon.

[Go Classic Rock!!]

I like The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Bread, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, a bit of Guns 'N' Roses, Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, REM, Simon and Garfunkel, Ram Jam, Pink Floyd, CCR, Dire Straits, Boston, The Who, America and a few others. I also like a few more modern bands like White Stripes, The Vines and a few others.
