Classic Rock

[Ephemeral]

^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.

Ya but see i'm only 13 so going to austrailia probably wouldn't work out for me... unless I get really lucky....

[desecration]

Thin Lizzy and The Eagles are great classic rock bands.I also like Led Zepplin, Eric Clapton, Boston, Johnny Rivers, and Jimi Hendrix.

[RNR]

Ya but see i'm only 13 so going to austrailia probably wouldn't work out for me... unless I get really lucky....

No it's a bunch of australian guys who do Pink Floyd covers.

[Ephemeral]

No it's a bunch of australian guys who do Pink Floyd covers.

oh! ok cool. Ya i'm going to see this band called rubber soul and they do beatles covers.

[What_the_hell_is_a_guitar???]

Jefferson Airplane anyone?????

howz about Janis Joplin?????

[Badmoon]

^ Well, we haven't really talked about Janis, but I brought up The Big Brother and the Holding Company. They are the definitive Blue/Psychedelia band in the 60's. :)

Jefferson Airplane, I'm probably the biggest fan of 60's Psychedelia/Acid-Rock/Blues ect... But the Airplane are hit or miss for me. Similar to Yes, I find them to be a band that can really screw up a song that is going good, but has some other great songs to back the screw up up.

[RNR]

I never really got into JeffersonAirplane. But i'm always learning more about classic rock so I would be open to download suggestions.

And yes, Janis Joplin has a very cool style and great music.

[What_the_hell_is_a_guitar???]

download:

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

[What_the_hell_is_a_guitar???]

or

Janis Joplin - try (just a little bit harder)

[Badmoon]

download:

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

I'm sure he knows "White Rabbait".

[moaner]

Yeah, i always borrow my dad's CDs

[RNR]

See that's the same thing with the eagles download requests. Everybody gave me their hits. What are you personal favorite Jefferson Airplane songs? (and maybe eagles songs since all anybody gave me was hotel california and stuff).

[RockAndRoll]

Thanks for the avatar badmoon.

About almost famous, it's not a true story but it is based on cameron crowes experiences as a journalist, so it almost is.

I'd also agree that elton john is an bit odd, but i enjoy his music.

p.s someone mentioned bluebird a while ago, I love that song.

[RNR]

Yes I like Elton John a lot. He has a great voice.

Yay Rock And roll is a father now :)

[Badmoon]

it's not a true story but it is based on cameron crowes experiences as a journalist, so it almost is.

Try to analize this though.

Get a picture of the band Bad Company, download their self titled song, compare it to some songs Jason Lee sings on the movie. And then tell me it's not true.

The band also could be Led Zeppelin, but I only say that because Still Waters drummer uses one of Bohnam's drumset.

[Badmoon]

^ Here just check this out. I may be wrong, but no one can deany this

http://www.allposters.com/IMAGES/74/039_44732.jpg

Check out Jason Lee (He's the second from the front)

Check out Paul Rodgers

http://img34.photobucket.com/albums/v103/badmoon349/backthenhead.jpg



And As I said listen to the one song Stillwater did when Lee was on the Keyboard, and then listen to Bad Company - "Bad Company"

[RockAndRoll]

I know, cameron crowe states, stillwater is a mix of bands, he admits this, so you probably are seeing some bad company in there, and i'm sure he said there was some zeppelin in there, i can't remember the others he mentions but i remember seeing aan interview or something about this. I"ll check the details later.

[Badmoon]

So far we have this.

Singer - Paul Rodgers (Bad Company/Free)

Drummer - John Bonham

[VoodooChild]

So while you guys are having this discusion I have one of my own. This whole time today I was thinking about how "This is Spinal Tap" makes fun of metal bands. So what if they had like the same idea for the movie except it was with jsut like jam bands or classic rock bands, stuff like that. Let's think up of some funny stuff that they could include. Or you guys can just blow this of if it sound mega gay. Oh, did anyone notice my post about Gov't Mule a page or two back. Check it out if you haven't. I'd like to hear your peoples opinions. Peace...

[On The Edge]

Hey, im back again :)

Havent heard the rolling stones talked about much, i think there pretty good, but not on par with my favourite classic rock artists.

Im curious to what your favourite solos are; maybe just give 3

1. Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd
2. All along the watchtower- Jimi Hendrix
3. Detroit Rock City- Kiss

[Paranoidd]

Best solo? Any live version of Dazed and Confused. I have a couple bootlegs where Pagey goes 15 minutes or more. It's always ridiculously good.

I see all these kids my age wearing Pink Floyd shirts lately but I'm wondering if it is just a style or if they are really into the band? I'm tempted to ask them to name a song other then "Another Brick in the Wall part 2".

Pretty much most stuff from the 60's/70's (some 80's) was great.

Zeppelin (of course), Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Iron Butterfly, Deep Purple, Rush, etc. All excellent and worth many a listen. I could go on but my list would be far too long.

[…aesthetic˚]

Not classic without Jeff Beck…

[jools_morrissyswan]

i like classic rock
i'm 12
loadsa people like it my age

[What_the_hell_is_a_guitar???]

arrrrg. i cant remember where or when it was. but my all time favourite solo would be Jimmy Page (who else!). in kashmir. it was live CRAP ive totally forgotten

[inkedupbassedup]

Zeppelin
The Who
Cream
The Beatles
The Byrds
Jimi
All Fantastic Bands And The Darkness Are Nothing Like Any Of These.....the Darkness Are A F***ing Spinal Tap Tribute Band!!!

[inkedupbassedup]

There Has Never Been A Better Lead Guitarist In Terms Of Solo's Than Jimmy Page Because Although He Used Them All The Time They Had Structure And Timing, He Used Space And Didnt Just Go Off On A Solo Which Was Totally Independant Of The Song As Many Artists Do.....it Always Fitted 110% Perfect

[lunch998]

Jimmy had great riffs too, overall he was just a great musician

[FattyMcBlubber57]

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 have noticed that but there are ppl that say they like real rock but they dont and it pisses me off

PS bands to check out

ZZ top
blue oystur cult
doors
deep purple
cream
jimmi hendrix e.
rush
talkin heads
black crow
and more that i cant think of

[RNR]

We haven't talked about the talking heads much. Maybe it's because they aren't the hard rock type of classic rock. My mom got me "Fear of music" and it's pretty good.

[StreetlightRock]

PS bands to check out

lol, after 65 pages on this thread, you'd think he'd have heard of those bands and viola you actually bring in one we havnt talked about heh. Heh, RnR, i think youre right, there too... meh for me.

DVG.

[neo12_3]

How can you forget Lynyrd Skynyrd <------- Legend !!
But i don't agree about the hype about the beatles, there just a band of soppy arse bandits !!

But i with all the other Bands;
Led Zep
Deep Purple
The Who

[RNR]

We didn't forget about Lynyrd Skynard. We talked about Lynyrd Skynard for like 13 posts a while ago. I suggest you read the entire thread... n00bs... *sigh*

[Random_Hero_Guy_]

Jethro Tull, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, Husker Du are also all great ones :) but Rush is still my fav.
My cousin knows all of Rush personally...they're all friends. :cool:

[Paranoidd]

I'm going to see them on the last stop of their North American tour in Toronto...theres been alot of rumors going around that they are going to playing alot of covers (due to the release of their cover album). I really hope they dont. If I don't hear 2112 there will be hell to pay.

My cousin used to serve Geddy Lee and his family when he had a restaurant in downtown Toronto. He described him as "A nice polite boy. Weird hair though." haha.

[RNR]

Lucky kid^

Rush as some huge talent. I would love to see them in concert.

[RockAndRoll]

My cousin knows all of Rush personally...they're all friends. :cool:

My dad was the co-manager back when they wouldn't sell for a dime(pre-peart), and my friend is related to neil peart.

[StreetlightRock]

But i don't agree about the hype about the beatles, there just a band of soppy arse bandits !!

Just TRY to make songs as catchy as the beatles.

DVG.

[On The Edge]

You think people would have the courtesy to read 66 pages of this. GEEZ!

(well i did actually :( )

Can you guys reccomend some songs by rush? I haven't heard much of there stuff, but they sound pretty good.

[RNR]

Just TRY to make songs as catchy as the beatles.

DVG.

Yeah. No band today has delightful british voices and makes catchy songs like the beatles ;)

[Paranoidd]

Depends what you're into.

Their earlier stuff ("Rush" and "Caress of Steel") sounds very similar to Led Zeppelin. Although they had a different drummer at the time, it's still quality all around. "Fly by night" got a little softer.

Their prog-rock phase ("2112" and "A Farewell to Kings" most notably) is nothing short of spectacular. Geddy Lee's rolling basslines, Neil Pearts frantic, spot-on drumming, and Alex Lifeson's diverse compositions are some of the best music you'll hear from that time period. Their songs had especially amazing structure.

Their 80's period was very synthsizer heavy..."Signals" and "Moving Pictures" were the two best albums from this time.

If you want their most popular or better tracks...try:

Lakeside Park (its about the EX in Toronto...they're hometown boys to me! It's weird to know exactly what they mean.)
In The Mood
Bastille Day
2112 (The full 20 minute track, its an epic story)
The entire farewell to kings album
The Spirit of Radio
Tom Sawyer
YYZ
Limelight
Subdivisions
New World Man
The Analog Kid
Distant Early Warning
The Big Money
Earthshine

Those were all song titles except for the whole farewell to kings album. Can't pick one song, it was so well done. Stick with anything they did before 1983 and your in for one great listen.

[ZEROthirtythree]

Can you guys reccomend some songs by rush? I haven't heard much of there stuff, but they sound pretty good.

Get any thing off the album "A Farewell To Kings." That album got me into rush.

[Paranoidd]

^^^

Nice avatar, shes amazing.

[RockAndRoll]

I'd reccomend a live album such as... live. expecially if you're looking for a good old drum solo.

[Paranoidd]

The solo on "O Baterista" from the Live in Rio DVD is nice.

My uncle still tells stories of the glory days...seeing Neil Peart play a 20 minute drum solo while him and his kit are suspended upside down.

[Badmoon]

Joe Walsh can take Page with soloing. Check most of Walsh's stuff out, with James Gang, The Eagles, and Solo. That guys amazing.

[Badmoon]

Not classic without Jeff Beck…

Yeah, I bought The Jeff Beck Groups Truth. Great stuff :thumb:. Rod Stewart on vocals, Ron Wood on Bass, and Beck on guitar :thumb:

[RNR]

Ok I really like Led Zeppelin adn Jimmy Page but i'm tired of all of the fans. They are convinced that Page was the greatest guitarist ever. Now he is very good but he's not the best. I say that's he's overrated by the Led Zeppelin fans.


I agree that Walsh is a better soloer than page. There are many people who can solo better than page. Page's solos are most of the time short bits of blues scales are really fast things that last 30 seconds. David Gilmore, Neil Young, Jeff Heily, Dicki Betts, Duane Allman, Mark Knopfler, Eddie Van Halen and Eric Clapton all do solos that I enjoy more (if I did a top 15 Page would probably be on there).

Page is overrated!

*Throws brick* I meant what I said about no more talk about how great Page and Led Zeppelin are! :angry:

[lunch998]

i agree that there are people better than him, but instead of calling page overrated just say everyone else is underrated. that way people obsessed with page dont get pissed off. (cause you know people will)

Clapton is amazing.

[RockAndRoll]

What's every think about steely dan, not sure if you'd consider them classic rock or not but they're a great band, good feel and very original.

[Paranoidd]

Anyone ever heard the band "Sam Gopal"?

[LedZeppelin629]

Badmoon349:Joe Walsh can take Page with soloing. Check most of Walsh's stuff out, with James Gang, The Eagles, and Solo. That guys amazing.

I've always been a big fan of Joe Walsh, and i agree he's just as talented as Page, but page's soloes are better to me. Walsh is a really underrated guitarist in this day and age, however :upset:

[~ZoSo~]

i agree that there are people better than him, but instead of calling page overrated just say everyone else is underrated. that way people obsessed with page dont get pissed off. (cause you know people will)

Clapton is amazing.


_Yes he is Page is horrible now, probably because of all the drugs he took, Clapton is way better and still does a hell of a job nowadays, the same with Santana and Beck :thumb:

[Badmoon]

I have always loved Garcia's solos. They contain so much energy and feelings. Same with Anastasio's. Check out the song Farmhouse.

Zappa can probably out solo most, that guy's amazing.

[magicbus]

do you guys think a classic rock band would work today? i know its called "classic" for a reason, but you could recreate the sound of songs from the 60's and 70's. if I was ever in a band, I'd wanna play classic type stuff, but I figured nobody would like it. do you think a band like that would work today?

[Paranoidd]

Jet has been trying it, personally I think it sounds like shyt.

PJ Harvey reminds me of The Velvet Underground for some odd reason (don't ask why)...I like her.

[LedZeppelin629]

I have always loved Garcia's solos. They contain so much energy and feelings. Same with Anastasio's. Check out the song Farmhouse.

Garcia could solo like nobody's business. Zappa's got some awesome soloes too :thumb:

Classic rock is just sort of a style of playing. We call it classic rock just because most band who played like that are classic.

[boarding_bob]

I have noticed that 1 out of every 5 people at my school seems to be wearing a rock t-shirt. I hope it doesnt become a fashion thing..

[RNR]

^It will. Just learn to accept the trendy idiots ;)

[pearlzeppelins]

i think that the most influental band ever was zeppelin. punks got jealous of there awesomeness and couldn't handle zeppelin domination of the airwaves so they did what punks did. they rebelled. some may call zeppelin "plagarists" and yeah, they did "steal" a couple of songs but its not like their hipocrites. they dont sue people when they use their music (when the levee breaks, drumming???)

[Paranoidd]

Zeppelin tried a punk song on their last album...

Wearing and Tearing if you don't already know.

[Broken Arrow]

Wearing and Tearing is a Great song.

[lunch998]

yea the hell with punk

[RNR]

I still think the most influental band was the beatles. But zeppelin did add a little bit. I want to get "how the west was won" the dvd is supposed to be amazing.

[RockAndRoll]

It is amazing

[VoodooChild]

You must get "How the West Was Won." Some of the most amazing footgae of Zeppelin live is in that DVD. I've seen that DVD 3 times and creamed my pants every time. It has half-hour versions of "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love". Seriouslu, run to your damm store right now and buy it. You'll be happy. The performances are so full of energy, I got fudging goose-bumps. Anyway, go now...

[RNR]

I am quite aware of who is on it. I will get it very soon.

[~ZoSo~]

Man, I love Zep and I think Houses of the Holy is their best album, where do you get the DVD and how much is it?

[joel_2_the_max]

The Darkness is aiming in the right direction for bring back the sound of classic rock, their singer is good, music videos are gay, and there guitar is sub par. It just doesnt have the guitar playng that people like, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshed, Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, or Brain May. But their singer is high pitched and thats important. There are too many rock bands in today's day in age that have there singers mumbling in a low inaudiable drone voice. They all sound the same. I cant tell the difference between Creed and System of a Down singing wise. Or Nickleback for that matter.


my fav bands are:
1. LED ZEPPELIN (gods of rock)
2. Pink Floyd
3. The Doors
4. The Beatles
5. The Who
6. Rush
7. Queen
8. Van Halen
9. Supetramp
10. CCR

[joel_2_the_max]

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.

:p YOUNG IS CANADIAN

[Groovy//]

Def Leppard (they're kind of classic rock)
Led Zeppelin
Alice Cooper
The Doors
Black Sabbath
Blue Oyster Cult
Aerosmith
April Wine
Jimi Hendrix

Tons of people at my school have started listening to classic rock now too. I got alot of them into it actually.

[Scenes From A Memory]

Rush
Pink Floyd
King Crimson
Yes
Van Halen
Allan Holdsworth
Dixie Dregs
Kansas
Zeppelin
Sabbath

Those are some of my favourites. I think there is a kind of revival in classic rock going on right now, but unfortunately alot of my favourite bands from that era are still unlikely to get much attention.

[Broken Arrow]

This summer im going to see Van Halen and Deep Purple

[RNR]

:lol: Take that badmoon! Not knowing Neil Young is Canadian... It's the one thing he doesn't know. Orr didn't know. Aww, now he knows everything.

That's cool (to all of the n00bs who posted their lists of band names).

[pearlzeppelins]

Paranoidd: Zeppelin tried a punk song on their last album...

Wearing and Tearing if you don't already know.

Coda was songs that were already recorded dude. And yeah i knew that.
It was recorded for the In Through The Out Door Sessions but Page didn't want it there so it got brought back to coda.

[Paranoidd]

Well you do know your shyt. You just make it seem like people created punk because they hated Zeppelin or something...

But my two cents to this thread, the Beatles are the most influential band of all time, hands down, no arguements. What they did in the studio is still being re-produced today. Everybody knows and was affected by the Beatles.

[RNR]

I'm getting into multi instrument jam bands now such as lynard skynard and Bob Seger and the silver bullet band. A piano can actually be pretty kick *** if used correctly.

[Tzale]

I agree 100%, there are times when the Piano fits in perfectly. Although a lot of times it ain't so good, it can work perfectly in some songs.

Keep on rockin' man Segar kicks ***!

[Tzale]

I love Classic Rock! I'd venture to say 95% of the music I listen to is Classic Rock. Some of my favorite bands are the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Dead, Rush, Jethro Tull, the Who, Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles (I never recognized how good of a band they were until I really looked at them.) I could go on forever, I practically like all Classic Rock bands. I guarantee if I never heard of a band, and I listened to it I'd like it if it is in the Classic Rock genre. I have never found a band yet from this genre that I don't like. Classic Rock ROCKS! All this **** today sucks, all the rap and ****ty rock. I hope Classic Rock comes back in some new form. I'm only 15 years old, I really wish I was born back in the time of these groups but I guess that's the way it works. If I didn't have a computer I wouldn't know much about these groups and probably would be a drone to this ****ty mainstream stuff. I noticed a lot of high school kids also like Classic Rock. You know, Pink Floyd, Zep, the Doors, Beatles, AC/DC, Van Halen. I thought I was a freak at first heh, but when you think about it SO WHAT if you don't follow this **** today. I say **** them, we all need to get a little weed and classic rock and we'll be happy guys!

-Tzale

[The Esoteric]

heh more power to you man

Ray Charles - Easy like a sunday morning..... RIP Ray.
Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the sky

And Nash was English, but where did they form and get noticed? AMERICA!!!!!

Take that badmoon! Not knowing Neil Young is Canadian... It's the one thing he doesn't know. Orr didn't know. Aww, now he knows everything.

That's cool (to all of the n00bs who posted their lists of band names).

Refer to what I said before. Here, I know Neil Young is Canadian, because he was in a band with Rick James in Canada, where he was born!!!

I wouldn't say something if it isn't true. Never defey Badmoon349.


i think that the most influental band ever was zeppelin.

The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, ect...

^Even though 3/4 of them are not bands, but artists.

I'm getting into multi instrument jam bands now such as lynard skynard and Bob Seger and the silver bullet band. A piano can actually be pretty kick *** if used correctly.

In my opinion, in a (True) Jam Band, each member must play an instrument. Basically labeling those two out (Unless you count Seger's rare apearance on the harmonica, or guitar or something). But L.S. is really close though, they combine various genres, which once again (in my opinion) make a (True) Jam Band.

[RockAndRoll]

And Nash was English, but where did they form and get noticed? AMERICA!!!!!
Perhaps it would be better to simply call them an international band.

I like the use of pianos in rock songs, they come in quite a number of times in the harmony where many people don't even notive them but they provide more depth to the song.

[StreetlightRock]

*bounces up and down* Got myslef Led Zeppelin II today!! I reckon its actually on level with IV.

Yeah dark side is great. I would say that Dark side is the best sit-down-and-listen-to-the-whole-thing-in-one-sitting-without-skiping-tracks-and-smoke-a-j-album ever.

[Space Ace]

This is the best thread ever. So good I even use punctuation. Now this thread must be good. My favorite classic rock band is probably Black Sabbath, Because Kiss dont count as Classic rock, And I love Led Zeppelin. :thumb:

[RNR]

If anything Black Sabbath doesn't count as classic rock and kiss does. You have it backwards my friend :). And yes Led Zeppelin is awesome.

[rocknroll22]

We don't have enough classic rock talk in R&M. Which is why I don't post here alot :thumb:

Led Zeppelin
The doors
Pink floyd
The rolling stones.
The eagles
The who
Van Halen x10000000000000000000000 :D

These bands are the best ever :thumb:

I agree with you. Definatley Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Eagles and Van Halen.

[RockAndRoll]

If anything Black Sabbath doesn't count as classic rock and kiss does. You have it backwards my friend :). And yes Led Zeppelin is awesome.

I wouldn't say that he has it backwards, i'd say both count but if anything he was right.

[RNR]

I agree with you. Definatley Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Eagles and Van Halen.

What happened to The Who?

Oh and that was like a month ago.

[RNR]

I wouldn't say that he has it backwards, i'd say both count but if anything he was right.

Well if you had to pick one of them not to be classic rock it would be black sabbath because they are leaning to metal. And kiss is 100% classic rock.

[RockAndRoll]

Well if you had to pick one of them not to be classic rock it would be black sabbath because they are leaning to metal. And kiss is 100% classic rock.
But that's just your opinion. And yours is not the same as mine. Not that it matters, genres are just guidelines to show similarities between music and no matter what you decide to call it the music will not change, but perhaps your perception of it will.

does anybody know why the who cd's are so cheap?(not that i'm complaining)

[RNR]

^Because people want everybody to be able to enjoy the rock gods known as the who.

[Badmoon]

does anybody know why the who cd's are so cheap?(not that i'm complaining)

Perhaps because they have not been remastered in a while.

[Pasha]

Now you're talking my language here! The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, The Band (you want a group that utilized the piano - listen to this band's stuff), Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Jethro Tull, CCR, Tom Petty, Bob Seger (who grew up 20 miles from my home town), that's what fills my CD player most of the time.

[Badmoon]

Whatever happened to the "See guys, I'm a Classic Rock maestro" guy :lol:

With the Nirvana avatar? If you mean him then... :lol: x 1967

all classic rock is ****in awesome. Pink Floyd, BOC, Skynard, Forigener, Zeppelin,Clapton,The Doors, Hendrix, Free, Kansas,Frampton, Dio, AcDc, The Beatles,Steve Miller Band, Bad Company, Boston,Queen, and alot more.Back when rock artists had talent, dedication, and soul.

Yeah. If you post "omg leik clalssic rawk is the best ever, i love classic rock!1!!!!!!!!!" ****ing post in this thread.

Wow badmoon got all of those. *cough* google *cough*

[Badmoon]

It took me some time, and I used google for two songs.

[StreetlightRock]

Lol, i was lazy, i should have used google =P

DVG.

[2887]

I like Queen, Led Zeppelin, the Who, AC/DC, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and Aerosmith.(Older Aerosmith like "Sweet Emotion")

[anarchist_cup_cake]

modern rock is just reincarnations of all the bands that came before it, creating a melding pot of the most popular of the classic rock bands, but popified to fit the general audiance, so the original is always better, yay classic rock

[Maggot Dream]

Classic rock is my fave, and there's a few people in my class who are starting to like it too. Led Zep and The Who are my favorites, but the doors, Jimi Hendrix, CSNY, and Aeorsmith are awesome too.

[RockAndRoll]

How popular is steppenwolf outside of canada? Because i've never really thought of them as being that big but they did have a few big hits and they make great music.

[Badmoon]

^ Well, here (Illinois) they are pretty well known, and most will know a song or two.

[VoodooChild]

"Born to Be Wild", "Magic Carpet Ride", and "Wild Thing" are 3 of the most used songs in movies and comercials ever.

[RNR]

^Yeah. Mostly car commercials.

[The Esoteric]

Hey badmoon, where do you live in Illinois, relatively?

[Badmoon]

Orland Park, which is about an hour away from Chicago :)

[Badmoon]

Are you the from the same?

[The Esoteric]

I live in Villa Park about 20 mins from Chicago.

[The Esoteric]

Are you going to that loop concert July 4th (I think) with The Doors and ZZ Top and some other bands?

[Badmoon]

Maybe, I seen ZZtop last year with Kenny Wayne Sheppard and Ted Nugent. Though, I have never seen The Doors. So, maybe.

Most the concerts the Loop sponsors and runs are pretty good and fun. Though the channel is getting extremely repetitive.

[Badmoon]

Wait...Will it be at Tweeter? If not where?

[The Esoteric]

Yeah I would love to see The Doors but I don't think it would be worth it without Jim Morrison. Anyways tickets for that show are long since sold out, but apparently theyre doing it all again the 20th.

[The Esoteric]

I don't know I didn't actually plan on putting up the money to go so I never bothered to find out.

[StreetlightRock]

Stepphenwolf is like the band for all the bikies out there, along with blue oyster cult.

DVG.

[The Esoteric]

Not to sound stupid, but "bikies"?

[Badmoon]

^ Nor have I ever heard this way.




EDIT:Wait, it was a typo and he probably ment "Bikers".

[The Esoteric]

Oh. Well that makes sense then.

[RockAndRoll]

hehe anyone heard of gearheads? apparently they're like deadheads but for BTO i think it was, i'd never heard of them until there was this radio program on CBC about them.

[Space Ace]

you know nothing you fool :smash:

[Badmoon]

^ Leave, unless your kidding

Well, Phish's final album came out yesterday. I gave it a listen, and it is probably the most diverse album they put out. I personally love it.

[King Vic]

IMO KISS is the greatest classic rock band of them all!!!!!!!!!!

[blinkdrummer182]

the best classic rock band ever:

LED ZEPPELIN

[RockAndRoll]

Ugh, please don't make us go into this....

I know we already touched briefly on this subject but are any of you guys in(classic rock) bands? if so how are they doing?

Mines going pretty we were actually invited to our most recent show and my lead guitarist pulled out a great solo in the middle of voodoo chile, he even played behind his head, and we got really good feedback.

[dead56k]

i never really thought of blue oaster cult as a motorcycle band

[el Cid]

I find something especially captivating about Blonde on Blonde. It is really hard to pick the greatest Bob Dylan album, so I'd prefer not to. Then again, I'm 16, what in the hell do I's Know?

Musically, Canada doesn't really own. Rush, The Guess Who, Steppenwolf.

So, The Grateful Dead -Better vocals, better organ playing, better bass playing, better guitar playing.

The Allman Brothers - Better vocals, better guitar playing, better organ playing.

Each easily owns Rush, I just don't feel like naming more.

[Paranoidd]

Well Canada will probably legalize devilweed.

In which case Canada > US.

Also I don't think Rush can be compared to either Allman Brothers or Grateful Dead. Such musical differences.

[Badmoon]

Also I don't think Rush can be compared to either Allman Brothers or Grateful Dead. Such musical differences. The difference aren't few, you just have to look at the big picture.

In which case Canada > US.

Well, if you enjoy tossing brain cells out, many by many, and you enjoy putting yourself at risk of dieing, then yes. I still would not care to live in Canada. The fact that I can live in this country and live in any climate the world can pretty much offer, and get a job easily, and for a kid who is the out cast of his school and town, that is a huge deal. Also, if you ever want to make it big, you go to the US. It's fabulous, I can also get so much more than most countries can offer. You take the your country, and neighbor to the south for granted.

[VoodooChild]

This kinda reminded me of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

BLAME CANADA!!! BLAME CANADA!!! They're not even a real country anyway!...

Hahaha funny song...

[Badmoon]

Hahaha that and Canadian Bacon

[Space Ace]

This is the best thread ever. So good I even use punctuation. Now this thread must be good. My favorite classic rock band is probably Black Sabbath, Because Kiss dont count as Classic rock, And I love Led Zeppelin. :thumb:

you are wrong my friend how could you ever say that black sabbath isnt classic, you need a good wack in the head. :smash:

[Paranoidd]

Well, if you enjoy tossing brain cells out, many by many, and you enjoy putting yourself at risk of dieing, then yes.

That doesn't matter anyway...free health care :smoke:
Not like I smoke alot anyway, I just think it is stupid to send people to jail for smoking it. Only thing stopping us is the amount of money that the US has spent on the war on drugs. I'm not anti-american or anything (although I am wearing this shirt right now.)

http://www.waste.uk.com/Store/DisplayIndividualItem.html?ID=2507&CatID=73

As far as Rush goes...we they are all talented musicians. Considering early Rush sounds **** near similar to Zeppelin, and the Grateful Dead started out as a jug band, both of which progressed to a different sound, I guess we just have to agree they are all talented musicians.

Do you live in one of those small aristocratic towns or something?

[Badmoon]

and the Grateful Dead started out as a jug band, both of which progressed to

Not exactly, The Grateful Dead started as a Blues Psychedelia band. Pig, Jerry and Weir were in an earlier jug band, but that was not The Grateful Dead, nor did it have each Dead member.

Do you live in one of those small aristocratic towns or something?

I live an old crap town inside of a well urban town.

[Badmoon]

Come on!! "Confusion, will be my epitaph" You have to admit that's good.

Overall they are cheesy. They have some good songs. Key word is some.

No, it's shows your stupidity, not just overall (We can see that through your posts), but just because you make Kiss threads, had a Kiss avatar, and have a username involving Kiss.

The mistake of not knowing Kiss's genre...like he said.

its a mistake of not knowing a genre of a band?
even though i know the genre.

You made a mistake by misclassifying a band's genre.

[Veteran of the psychic wars]

Haven't been here for awhile...

Saw Blue Oyster Cult on sunday night.
Heres the setlist, 90 minute show, the venue was pretty stingy about time.

R U Ready 2 Rock
E.T.I
Lips In The Hills
Born To Rock
Burning For You
Career Of Evil
Shooting Shark
Cities On Flame
Last Days Of May
Godzilla
Reaper Intro
Reaper

Encore:
Golden Age Of Leather
Black Blade

[Veteran of the psychic wars]

We'd found ourselves a pretty good spot, about 4 or 5 rows from the stage. As the evening went on, and people started moving, it got a lot easier to work our way to the front. We ended up in the 'Buck zone' about 5 feet away from him

The show was excellent. Everyone, band and audience both, was having a good time.
The overall atmosphere was excellent too, the band had a ton of energy, everyone in the audience was singing along and rocking out, it was such a terrific feeling.
There never seemed to be a break in the pace, the energy of the songs just kept going and going.
R U Ready 2 Rock. According to the crowds response, yes we were.
E.T.I was cool as ever, that final lead up to the outro was so cool, and being able to see Buck's fingers at work on the guitar was amazing.
Lips In The Hills: Excellent.
Born To Rock: Bucks voice sounded great, and that outro solo was blinding!
Burning For You: You know, even though pretty much every live show I've heard has this on it, it doesn't seem to get old.
Career Of Evil: Singalong!
Shooting Shark: I'd only heard the studio version, and a live version from 20 years ago, so I had no idea what it was gonna sound like. The leads on this were fantastic, pure emotion.
Cities On Flame: This rocked so freaking much. And that part in the middle where Buck doesn't use the pick was excellent. I can't describe it, but after the 'speedy pull-offs' sections, he'd play a chord/interval/doublestop/what the hell do you call these things, and each one led off the previous one making a really cool melody type thing.
Eric. B then went and sat over by the keyboards, telling us they're going 'back to the first album now'. From the moment he said 'this is a true story' the crowd went wild, for obvious reasons. Then Came The Last Days Of May: Holy sh*t! Allen's solo was fantastic, and watching everything pick up in pace was undescribable. Buck's fingers seemed to be a blur. Wow!
Eric. B then told us about a UK sci-fi export called 'the behemoth' or something, and after Allen mentioned '20,000 fathoms under the sea' (I think), Eric went on to tell us about the real king of the monsters we were thinking off. Godzilla was great, and if anyone seemed bored with it, it didn't show. During Buck's solo, I'm pretty sure he snuck in some Jimmy Page licks, or at least it sounded like it to me. Bass solo was really cool too, Danny was having a lot of fun. After Bobby's drum solo, instead of hitting the gong, which wasn't there, he hit the tiniest cymbal he could find
Reaper Intro: This thing has taken on a life of it's own! It was amazing, and were those Pete Townshend riffs I was hearing? Sure seemed like it at the time...
The Reaper: Yeah! Everyone really got into it, and I'm pretty sure Eric. B was either whispering his vocals or the crowd was drowning him out, they were that loud. The end jam/outro was fantastic as ever, of course

The band left the stage, and came back after 2 minutes for the encores.
First up, The Golden Age Of Leather, with Allen and then the crowd raising their can of beer on high if they had a beer (and in one case, some bottled water) and turning into a big sing-along.
Then, a tune Eric. B wrote with one of our 'fellow countrymen'. Black Blade: This was so cool, hearing it live. They took out that slow part in the middle and supercharged the song (with at one point, Eric and Danny chasing each other in a circle!)

All in all, an absolutely amazing show!

And after the show, I got ot meet the band for a bit, got them all to sign my the dvd cover.

[trumpet/basschic06]

hello......i'm kinda new here and saw this. Thought I would put my 2 cents in.

I got into classic rock when my marching band did a Styx show with the works. Mr. Roboto, Come Sail Away, Too much time on my hands, and rockin' the paridise. I have been hooked ever since. something about it just brought the real me out and i have tried to find cds and tabs like for that stuff ever since. I like ac/dc 2. can't play it yet but i'm getting there.... someday.

lol........if anybody from Lawrence County High School is reading this you know me as "the trumpet chic" or "Mindy"

And i really don't see how you (rock not roll) find king crimson cheesy, it's never something i thought i'd hear someone say about them.

(i'm not trying to argue with you guys, I'm just throwing in my opinion)

^IT's understandable though. They are progressive, and in that role, there is going to be some boring moments.

AC/DC

Alice Cooper
The Who

Metallica

[Kingadamx]

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.

Thank God someone else in this forum listens to the Mothers of Invention. Thank you Badmoon you have mentioned almost all of my favorite bands.

[Kingadamx]

Does anyone else in this forum besides badmoon listen to Frank Zappa cause I'm a fan I'm just curious?

[clown_phobia]

what exactly is the definition of "classic rock"?

[On The Edge]

Frank Zappa is genius, Kinga

"Dont eat the yellow snow" sums it up :O

Out of curiosity, since im a big kiss fan, what genre did he say they were in?

[StreetlightRock]

Hmm.... Well, its more of a style of playing. you can ususally tell from the 'sound' and tone of band. Its like rock with a dash of blues. It can be quite broad usually, from soft vocals like Pink Floyd (The extreme soft of Classic rock... sort of) to the hard rock of GnR (extreme edge of 'classic rock'). A majority of the music dosnt use powerchords like other metal and modren rock bands and such. (yea, yea, Smoke on the water...) Its hard to explain. Its called classic because alot of bands that fit into this genere are quite old. there are exceptions tho, eg/ The Thrills, The Darkness... even though aot will argue they arnt classic rock, they tend to try to fit into that mould. Examples of 'pure CR bands/people include': Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Lynard Skynard, The Allman Brothers Band.

DVG.

Edit: KISS are Classic.

[magicbus]

that makes sense with the blues influence. thats what most of "classic rock" is built on, and it probably what distinguishes it from today's music. i think that's pretty important in the definition of classic rock.

[RNR]

Wouldn't we still consider a band like AC/DC classic rock even though they have no blues infulence?

[Badmoon]

Plenty of bands aren't really based around Blues. The Who, other than the begining, largly disbanded from the genre. The Grateful Dead, when they do Blues, that's it, because when they aren't, they are doing a genre not even close to it. And basically most of Psychedelia.

[Lee Harvey Castro]

Out of curiosity, since im a big kiss fan, what genre did he say they were in?

I would say glam but then that defines the style rather than the music

[RockAndRoll]

I'm just more of a hard rock and blues person than a progressive person.
That's understandable

I don't really know how to define classic rock....

Although rock was originally based on blues lots of it moved away from that. One thing that generally holds true is that you can usually pick out sounds better than in lots (but not all) of today's rock music where they may have the guitar playing in the chorus but it's not a real melody or anything, it just sort of creates a wall of sound to back up the vocals. Alot of it sounds more raw in the prudction and stuff, but not all if you consider glam rock bands classic rock. I don't know, to me classic rock encompasses less than many other people on these boards think. For me it's a lot of groups out of the 60's who had something to say, and were a big part of that whole movement. As well as many of the bands into the 70's that may not have had as much to say but followed similar musical styles and were less commercialised although some people will debate this.

Got a copy of the clapton CD "Me and Mr. Johnson" I love it, expecially the way it was produced, very raw sound. It sounds old. It's got some upbeat swinging songs which are really cool. And ofcourse al the musician's who pay on it are absolutely top notch. It was all around very wel done, from the production, to the album cover to Claptons' litte blurb on the inside about johnson's music.

"Peace Frog" Definatley.

I'm looking for a copy of the bootleg of some recordings never before released by Syd Barrett (also Pink Floyd kinda) called Magnesium Proverbs. It's got some songs like Vegetable Man and Candy and a Currant Bun. I have a version of it which I got from a friend of my mom's who got it from a friend blah blah blah, but it's missing a few tracks that, being a total Floydian, I really would like to own. If anyone has any idea where I could get a copy that would be awesome. (I think you can get it via RoIo's or something).

[The Esoteric]

Alright thanks.

[RockAndRoll]

Of all time by the doors- Break on through, i love that song, i can't help but have energy when it comes on, it's also the first song by them i'd ever heard.

Currently - Tell all the people, it's the first track on soft parade and i love it, it's sort of the same style as touch me.

But then there's other's like light my fire, rider's on the storm, when the music over etc... that are just completely amazing and you've got to o all the actions in the solo and such.

So why do you have to tell everyone else? :confused:

How about all the Brit Ska (Not Less Then Jake!) bands? :thumb:

....one day the mainstream shall die a painful death

what is wrong with mainstream? don't you realise that Rolling Stones are mainstream too? if you sell records then you are mainstream surely? Plus there are some great musicians today...need I mention the Red Hot Chili Peppers. How about all the rich *** mainstream electric bluesmen B.B. King, Ike Turner, Eric Clapton
I 'm confused now...but I appreciate your argument and would like a discussion. :)

There's always going to be a mainstream, just like there will always be crap music. We just have to stick to bands we like.

what is wrong with mainstream? don't you realise that Rolling Stones are mainstream too? if you sell records then you are mainstream surely?

No, that's not true. If you sell records that make it big on the charts, if you have music videos that make it big on the charts. If are on MTV and are actually loved by most music listeners then you are mainstream. The Rolling Stones are not mainstream now. BB King, Ike Turner, and Eric Clapton are not mainstream.

If you consider popular and mainstream to mean the same thing there's nothing wrong with it.
If you consider mainstream to mean, consumer whoring, music based more on looks then actual music etc... then yes it's bad.

Everything's wrong with the mainstream these days. The mainstream is for people who aren't real music fans but like to listen to something catchy on the radio or watch mtv and get into the whole idiot culture. There are plenty of good bands out now but the mainstream is just pre packaged crap that apeals to young children and in the case of nu metal and pop punk angsty teens who need an easy way to make an idenity for themselves (if they wanted to get into some prog metal or classic rock that would take work!).

Mainstream bands have taken the focus away from good music. In the 60s and 70s it was all about the music. People listened to entire albums at a time and explored music. They got into the experience and even non musicians cared about the talent of the band. The mainstream has killed that. Now the mainstream has led people away from quality music and made it so good bands don't get noticed. To be a popular mainstream band most bans have to "sell out" which makes the quality of the music suffer.

However if a band is good and finds a record company that will let them do their own thing and they become big that's fine. But how often does that happen anymore?
