Classic Rock

[jpj]

You have already said that.

The Lemon Song is on steroids though.
It needed to be said again for all to hear.

[jpj]

Treaty revised:

1. The Lemon Song=Achilles Last Stand
2. JPJ and Lunch can not argue with each other again about this topic in any division of MX forums.
3. JPJ and Lunch can not participate in this same argument with another MX user.

Thankyou. The treaty was necessary because me and JPJ would get in vicious arguments over Achilles vs. Lemon Song.

[drugstore cowboy]

Ok..I know everyone's chattin' it up, but this came to my mind, and I thought it might turn out. Since we're already talking about Zeppelin: The Who vs. Led Zeppelin. What do you guys think? Entwistle vs. JPJ, Moon vs. Bonham, Daltry vs. Plant. Townshend vs. Page, but there probably won't be much argument as to who's the better guitarist. Townshend..lol. But they're similar in so many ways. Opinions?

[RNR]

We had a debate on that subject on aim once. Badmoon put it in a word document. It was a tie ;). Badmoon, post it for him.

[drugstore cowboy]

Wonderful! A tie..very interesting. Much appreciated =p

[lunch998]

Yea that was a good debate. Unfortunately, it was the only one. It's posted awhile back , somewhere.

[lunch998]

Yeah, I own it. It's great, and definitley interesting to listen to.

But I'd still say Dead> Dylan + Dead

Lunch: It's okay :) Sorry for outlashing back.

Yea but I started it :upset: Let's just be Classic Rock pals.

So uhh, how bout that band we like?

Does anyone listen to Spirit, and if you do, are they any good? I suppose I could listen to a few of their Cd's(My Dad has 1 or 2), but I'd rather ask first.

[RNR]

By "might" you must mean "will", right?


Anyways remember when we were all talking about Jimi Plays Burkley? That's the only Hendrix dvd i have and I forgot to ask what some other godo Hendrix dvds were.

Little help?

I've never heard of Spirit, and I haven't seen any Hendrix DVD's.

Suprises are good. I can get Badmoon's Mystery Song. If my Aim works.

[lunch998]

Anyways, after giving this album a listen, I was pleasently suprised with Spirit's "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus." Probably worth buying for myself now.

[RockAndRoll]

Tull > You

The show was amazing last night. Tulls versatility is quite stunning. They did everything from bach to jazz to blues to folk to hard rock. They started with an acoustic set at 8, took a 20 minute break at 9 and played from then on with their electric set until 10:45. I wish they had played bungle in the jungle, thick as a brick and look into the sun, but to say i was dissapointed they didn't would be an exageration. They played so many other great pieces anyways.

The music was great, and the performance was equally well done, with Ian Anderson dancing about on stage with his flute and carrying huge inflatted balls on his head. They also talked to the audience marvellously, the best I've ever seen. Amazing show really, it was great.

And I'm also not a real big fan of Colin James...

At the record show, I got:
(all on CD)

yes! Live at the Fillmore is amazing...one of the best live albums behind Live at Leeds and Made in Japan

I love how they made Live at the Fillmore and Live at Leeds into 2-Disc deluxe sets. Even though they cost more, you get so much more material and better sound quality. On Live at Leeds, you get the whole Tommy part. On Live at the Fillmore, there are more songs and then a few songs from Eat A Peach, namely Mountain Jam.

[jpj]

Yea I guess get the s/t. I got no new CDs, but JPJ got Live AT Berkely so I'm happy. By the way, how is Dylan and the Dead?

We should make a top 5 or 1o live classic rock album list.

[drugstore cowboy]

Just curious...but how are you suprised that The Who won. They could win anything...they are bloody amazing!

Yeah, I know, and I totally agree they should have won. I'm just suprised that they won over Led Zeppelin, the quinessential classic rock band...That's why I said there must have been a good group of people in that debate, not just "Led Zeppelin Rules!" typle folk...

The Live at Leeds record at Abbey Road records downtown has all of six songs on it...It's crazy how they went from that, to releasing it with everything, including a full performance of Tommy. I so want to get it...

[jpj]

That sounds like fun. The Allmans Live at the Fillmore would definitly be on that.

That would be next to impossible seeing as there are so many great classic rock songs. And Stairway would end up winning :angry:

Yeah, there are too many brilliant songs to pick one. Plus the top 100 songs thing is next follow by the ultimate modern rock (good modern rock I hope) band.

No it wouldn't be too difficult. The only problem is that most of the people in R&M have never even heard some of the greatest classic rock songs of all time. Stairway would and 9 AC/DC songs would round out the top 10.

[drugstore cowboy]

Yeah, I figured as much. Filled with Zeppelin and ACDC and Black Sabbath =p In other news, I'm learning how to play piano..again. There's this Hammond organ on sale in the paper for 250 bucks. I want to get it and do "Green Onions". Then any number of other Booker T songs...

I certainly hope it is..Actually doesn't say it on the ad. Anyways, I'm totally in agreement. Booker T and the Mg's..."Gimme Some Lovin'" by Spencer Davis has a really cool one..Procol Harum, the list goes on for cool organ parts =p

[Badmoon]

Other than "Machine Gun" it was really sloppy.

Yea, well Hendrix is a sloppy player. And live playing is usually a bit sloppy. So, that records is just how I would expect it to be. But it has some great songs.

Glad you guys like my tid bit in the Poll. I'm glad at least one kid thought I was serious.

For best live Floyd albums, I'd say Ummagumma disc 1. Then maybe Pulse or Delicate Sound of Thunder. Haven't heard those two as much.
Band of Gypsies would have to be on there, at least just for Power To Love :thumb:

I'm also intriguied by this Hammond Organ. Do they have em on ebay or anything?

everyone stop not talking.

Live in Pompeii is the absolute best Floyd live album or Live in London....IMO

[Illmatic]

Why do we have to confine ourselves to best live classic rock record? Why not best classic rock record period? Oh wait. Allow to me answer my own question: because everyone will vote for Led Zeppelin IV and Dark Side of the Moon (even though they are FAR from the best).

Would Bruce Springsteen be considered classic rock? Or would he be more "singer/songwriter?" Im a big fan of his music, (check the user title) but I'm just curious.

[enpsychopedia]

I'm very much into the singer/songwriter genre right now, e.g., bob dylan, bruce springsteen, woody guthrie, john mellencamp, neil young, tom petty, all those guys.

[magicbus]

Live in Pompeii is the absolute best Floyd live album or Live in London....IMO

I absolutely agree, I thought we were just doing albums though, not video. Unless its an album too? :confused: Which would be sweet cause its so awesome. It basically encases what I love about Floyd, the 15+ minute songs with the long instrumental sections, like Echoes and SOYCD.

To King of Dudes, I probably told you that the Pompeii dvd is worse than the vhs, cause they edited it weirdly.

And I like Tom Petty too.

[enpsychopedia]

can anyone recommend a few tom petty songs? all ive heard is "refugee" and last dance with mary jane" but id like to hear some more of his stuff, if possible.

If any of the Pink Floyd Albums are overrated, it is The Wall (even then not by that much).

I totally agree. I never liked the wall much except a few songs. I think the Divison bell is the most underated, since it gets no attention since it came out after Waters left (wayyyy after, in 1994), but still is very good, especially Gilmours guitar work.

I just listened to Thw Who's Live at Leeds album, and it was very good. Alot of great classics on it - its hard to dislike a collection of songs like this.

[Broken Arrow]

Ok so I have this friend(he's rich) and I was playing some music(CSN&Y and The Who) and all of a sudden he thinks he's the biggest classic rock fan. He went out and bought So Far and Who's Next and all he heard was the song Ohio.

This just pissed me off. I had to get ti out of my system.

And so this isnt spam, are any of your friend posers?

[the mighty zep]

OMG OMG listen to the tone of this guitar!@#$! Its unbelievable. I love this. Seriously.


Well, i dont think its so much the tone...but this is a good example of how Floyd uses so many effects ALL THE TIME, that you cant even tell, but it sounds so dam good your better off not knowing. Heres the effects he used (all together) during the song

Compressor (intro)
Overdrive mid gain (intro + solo)
Chorus (intro + solo)
Phaser (3rd solo + intro)

And i think Delay and Reverb were used here and there, but i cant be sure. But yes, beutiful guitar sound. Invest a good $3000 and yours can sound like that! really, thats all it cost!

[jpj]

I love how you can save a post from being spam just by asking a question remotely related to classic rock.

So anyway my firend had Pink Floyd on his mp3 player and didn't know who it was, not really a poser just kinda funny.

Dogs=the best Floyd song IMO.

Yeah well, beat this.

Im talkin to my friend right now online, and he likes this band called the butthole surfers. Hes trying to convince me right now to like them and uses the reason "There not much different from pink floyd"

Same here. I like a song or two from the "modern era", but otherwise I've become really jaded towards newer music. It all seems so much the same. I'll bet that was the case back in the 60's and 70's, though, too.

If there is a band that comes along from former bands (Audioslave for example), odds are Ill like them, but totally forget about them after a month. THey did have a good album, along with Queens of the Stone Age and RHCP, who are getting worse IMO.

But i think Dave Grohl is one of the few musicians closest to classic rock in this age. Does anyone agree (or even know who he is?)

I know who he is. I've only heard a few foo fighters songs, but I liked them. Wasn't he doing like a metal album with like a bunch of special guests like Lemmy from or something? I thought I saw something about it in a guitar magazine.

[the mighty zep]

i cant stand that! when a friend gets into a band seriously, and your all happy, but when they come over and want to listen, they just tell you to keep playin the same 3 or 4 songs - totally unwilling to listen to anything else, or even accept as another song by the band.

Its especially bad when that paticular person loves a paticular song.....and can not sing for his life.

But they found the yardbirds hilarious. Figure a band with the greatest guitarist - Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck - making songs like Over Under Sideways Down and the Hot House of Omargarashid...though that one is funny. I love that little wobbly noise in the backround about 1:30 (i think) into the song.

I dont know about that, but aside form being guitarist from the Foo Fighters, he plays drums for Queens of the Stone Age and he did for Nirvana too (which i dont really enjoy his work for). But his drum solo on Song for the Dead, on the album Songs for the Deaf was pretty good. Not like Moby Dick or nothin, but playin like that for that long isnt as easy as it sounds

[the mighty zep]

I just learned Hotel California on the guitar, theirs alot of stuff goin on there, its not just like appregos for G and A and C or watever, its very complicated.

If by any chance somebody here plays guitar, I need some cheaper versions of Gilmours effects, since he invest a good 300 bucks into those machines, and i couldnt live another 20 years and make that much money. I plan on covering the entire Dark Side of the Moon Album, so this isnt going to be cheap

And another question...I believe a slide guitar is used in Breathe and The great Gig in the Sky...is there anyway i can get a sound like that out of a normal guitar, with a metal slide or anything. Im looking at a DSOTM guitar tab book on thursday, hopefully it will have everything for both guitars, effects used, and actually incluse the entire song

hotel california is great to play on guitar, did you know there is about eight different guitars going on at once? im assuming you are playing the 12 string acoustic part.

the secret to buying good effects for cheap is pawn shops, people buy good effects when they have a lot of money, and then end up selling them when they are low on cash. pawn shops have lots of great guitar stuff for pretty cheap, and some of it is barely even used.

and you probably could just use a slide with your electric, it may not sound exact, but it will be better than nothing. slide guitar is hard to get sounding perfect, so i suggest you practice a little before you start recording.

and also...look over the tab book to see if it has all the parts, one time i was looking at a tab book for Led Zeppelin, and it left out the solo for Stairway as well as a lot of rhythm guitar tracks.

Except for Petty and Springsteen because I haven't heard very much of their stuff.

[thickasabrick]

i bought this one bruce springsteen album (for 1 dollar) that is a collection of live songs from 75 to 78 and it comes with its own little box and book. (theres like five different records in it or something like that) the book is cool because it kind of explains where each song came from and stuff like that.

its a great live album collection, although it takes a whole day to listen to all of it, anyone else have it? i suggest it highly if you are into springsteen.
