Classic Rock

[Badmoon]

That first picture of the electric i think is the same as the on the guitarists in my band uses.

And does anyone else think the banjo looks like it has a remo drum head on it?

Remo makes banjo skins.

And the guitars a Kramer. Your guitarist has an out of date guitar, they don't make them anymore :p.

[Broken Arrow]

The other book is just a chord book.
Does it matter?

What about the pick?

[Badmoon]

Well, there's nothing special or specific about them. They were simply just there. No band reference or anything.

[Woodstock]

My Dad got a CSN Acoustic Concert DVD for his birthday. It was surprisingly good for being live in '91. Stills was soloing on a Gretsch the whole time, and it seems like he got better.

[lunch998]

I do, some people cant appreciate the softer side of Zeppelin.

I wish people didn't consider III completely acoustic(Not saying you do, Woodstock, but just people in general.) All of the first side except for Friends is heavy stuff.

[Broken Arrow]

Are we done then?

...anyone?

[RockAndRoll]

that explains the first one.

and as for the second one his is actually slightly different. Although he does have an out of date guitar, I forget the brand, it's a 12 string and for some reason I think super is in the name, but I may be making that up.

[lunch998]

...anyone?

Cool.

[Broken Arrow]

Cool.
Agree++

Im happy cause I learned how to post pictures:)

[RNR]

Yes, agreed, very cool.

They should open for Neil Young or something. And then do a few of their old songs with him.

I would pay anything to go to that concert.

[Broken Arrow]

It would of been 100 times better if Neil was there, but he wasn't, and they didn't play any of his songs. :upset: But, it was still good.

Crosby sounded great, Stills was even better at the guitar, and Nash was meh.

[lunch998]

I asked for the LZ complete studio recordings for x-mas. Any of you guys asking for Cd's?(if you celebrate Christmas)

[RNR]

I would sell my soul for that show.
That would give meaning to the phrase "I sold my soul for rock and roll" :eek:

My whole list is bandshirts and cds.:)

[lunch998]

I also need bandshirts, I only have a Zeppelin one.

[RockAndRoll]

I asked for the LZ complete studio recordings for x-mas, any of you guys wanting some CD's?
I want CD's soooo badly. I've got no money, in fact I owe money, I haven't gotten new CD's in quite some time. Then again I also need a new bass drum head (hopefully sooner than christmas, else I'll just have to stick to rudiments and snare and such) A new metronome and *want* (not need) a new snare.

[Woodstock]

This Thursday I'm getting money and CD's, and on Christmas an electric guitar.

Jet rocks the industry. I love classic rock, all I play. Love the Beatles, Stones, BTO, Cream, Hendrix, Mountain, Skynyrd, Creedence, ACDC, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Steppenwolf, Joe Walsh, John Mayal and the Bluesbreakers. Awesome stuff. I'm 16 and alot of my friends like it too. It carries alot more weight than todays rap and worthless metal.

welcome welcome. jet rocks the industry? whats that supposed to mean? nice choice of bands though, im glad you included joe walsh and also the bluesbreakers...you have dug beneath the surface of classic rock i suppose.

i don't listen to metal music really, but i wouldn't call it worthless..and neither should you (this is a rock and metal forum)

and badmoon, how much was your banjo? did you get a banjo before or after a guitar?

[thickasabrick]

hahaha! that picture of neil young is great. you're right Woodstock, he wasn't the prettiest, but his music sure was. and i like your avatar.

i saw this john lennon concert on tv a while ago, and yoko was there as well. does anyone else find that she cannot sing a note if she tried? its more like screeching.

[Badmoon]

and badmoon, how much was your banjo? did you get a banjo before or after a guitar?

About $300, and yes.

[thickasabrick]

About $300, and yes.

im assuming your talking american money...or some other noncanadian country because that sounds very cheap for a banjo. we have a banjo at our school that i play sometimes, although the only song i can play is Dueling Banjos (and of course, i get lost once he starts really going).

can you post any songs of you playing your banjo? i wanna hear some.

[RNR]

Jerry Garcia played banjo before he played guitar ;)

And so did John Lennon (kinda)

[thickasabrick]

Jerry Garcia played banjo before he played guitar ;)

And so did John Lennon (kinda)

i wasn't aware!

k im listening to Across The Universe...what does Jai Guru Deva Ohm mean?

[Badmoon]

Banjos rarely break over $700. Plus, at the time, I hardly knew about the banjo. The model I got is fine. It's all about the finger picking.

can you post any songs of you playing your banjo? i wanna hear some.

I don't know how to do any of that recording stuff.

To find out how a banjo solo is played, you must know the rolls. Rolls are basically patterns to help loosen your fingers. Just like scales. Banjo playing commonly sounds random, but is actually and usually all various patterns. It's the picking and speed you have to get use to.

[RNR]

Was that sarcasm? Because I don't think you knew thst John Lennon breifly played banjo when he was young.

But yes, everyone knows that garcia played banjo.

[Badmoon]

Jerry Garcia played banjo before he played guitar ;)

That's not true. Even got a guitar when he was 15. And learnt banjo later.

I wouldn't say I played guitar, but I commonly practiced chords before I learned how to play the bajo.

[RNR]

Really? I've heard that from a few people before, they said that Garcia was raised on bluegrass and played a bit of banjo before he played guitar.

But i'm going to believe the ultimate Jerry Garcia fanboy :thumb:

[Badmoon]

I'm not a fanboy. I realize his flaws and his talents.

Really? I've heard that from a few people before, they said that Garcia was raised on bluegrass and played a bit of banjo before he played guitar.

He was raised on Banjo, but he started playing Rock and Roll, and then thought it got boring. And then took up the banjo, and bluegrass more so than ever. He of course went back to Rock though.

[RNR]

Hehe, yeah. Fine.

Only $10s (1 act of whoring my body) until I can get Workingman's Dead :)

edit: w00t I re teh starz0rz!

[thickasabrick]

no i wasnt being sarcastic. i didn't know about lennon and mcartney. and im not being sarcastic in this post either. seriously. now everthing i say just sounds sarcastic.

im really good at fingerpicking for guitar. unlike most kids my age, who's only goal is to shred at mach speeds, i prefer trying to pick out bluegrass tunes as fast as my guitar teacher can. im not even close though. using a pick im probably about average for how long i've been playing guitar.

[RNR]

Aren't you a guitar teacher?

Hehe most kids my age just want to play simple powerchord songs...

[Badmoon]

bastard.


Badmoon's Banjo Tips
-------------------------

- Learn rolls. So good, you can name them and play them off the top of your head.

- Learn popular riffs and licks. ex. Foggy Mountain Breakdown opening.

- Know Earl Scruggs.

- Finger pick the **** outta your fingers, with finger picks.

- No obvious Bluegrass songs.

- Use thinner thumb pick while beginning.

[thickasabrick]

Aren't you a guitar teacher?

Hehe most kids my age just want to play simple powerchord songs...

ya i teach guitar. i've only been playing for three years though, i just seemed to pick it up sooner, plus i have learned a lot of different styles so i can teach basically anything.

how old are you? i always assumed i was younger than you, but after that "kids my age" statement you sound younger than i thought.

[RNR]

I'm 16 and have been playing about 1 year and a bit.

[Badmoon]

I've just lately been understanding theory for guitar.

[thickasabrick]

im sixteen too. i played piano for about four years, and then saxophone for a year or so, so i knew basically all theory going into guitar. when i started playing guitar, all i wanted to do is play AC/DC songs. after a few lessons my teacher got me into blues..and after about a year, i stopped bringing my electric to lessons and instead brought my acoustic, it was then i learned the art of bluegrass. its my favourite thing to play now, it seems so happy and lighthearted to me.

but i suppose this is the classic rock thread, and talking about bluegrass is a little off topic.


and wait... badmoon, who did you call a b*stard. i just noticed that.

[Badmoon]

Rock...for his new shiney stars :angry:

:p

[thickasabrick]

oh jeez i didn't notice that..what do those things mean? and how come i can't swear!!

[RNR]

This site has a swear filter, methinks.

Stars are just thingys that look nice after you get 1000 rep points.

I never knew that there was a Yes tour a while back :(. I would have gone. *learned this from the community thread*.

With Dream Theater opening just to add to the awesomeness! :( (not classic rock but, umm, cmon! yeah!).

[Badmoon]

I can pass the swear filter.

Just highlight one of the letters in the swear, and then change it's color it white.

[thickasabrick]

ah ic. YES went on tour? man i love them. they are ****ing amazing

just seeing if i can pass the swear filter.


edit- alright! :cool:

[thickasabrick]

i just can't get into dream theatre, i have tried repeatedly to. im not sure why but i just dont like their music. they are all amazing musicians though and i would still wanna see them live just to watch them play.


but im going to bed. at night time the temperature in my house drops dangerously close to freezing level and i need to be under the safety of my many blankets.

[Urfman]

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.

Classic rock is usually defined by the hard rock sub-genre and thus bands like Led Zep and Deep Purple get more attention. Bands like The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and their ilk fall within the folk rock sub-genre of classic rock.

There are some really good, mellower bands that don't get so much attention - Lindisfarne is a good example.

i think you were missing a few words there or something.

i think most kids who listen to classic rock these days just get into bands that they have heard their friends talk about. so one kid may have ventured to listen to zeppelin, and then after a while the whole school listens to them. the problem is that there is more followers than people actually wanting to seek out more bands. i dont think the genre has much to do with it, if one person wore a bob dylan shirt to school..im sure about ten people would go home that day and download a song by him. eventually everyone would like him. people are just sheep.

I agree withg you, but he just said the classic is consindered hard rock, and that why it is popular. How does that explain the popularity of the Beatles? Or Pink Floyd?

[thickasabrick]

you're right. i dont think being hard rock has a lot to do with it. even though i find people when they first get into bands like zeppelin, only listen to stuff off of the second album, and then say all the acoustic stuff on the third album is crap. after a while they usually change their mind though. people just need to keep a more open mind towards music, and realize that softer music doesnt mean crappier or girlier music.

Very True, there is this kid in my Jazz Band who only plays Zeppelin songs on the electric guitar. It annoys me so much, I just wanna smack him.

That's a very good point. Just because music is softer or acoustic doesn't mean it sucks. Much of it is usually more complex too. Led Zeppelin III is a great example, because it owns so much.

i smoke weed quite often. i just started this year, i quit drinking about the same time. i was caught by my parents once, and they told me a story about my dad and drugs, which kind of scared me out of it for a while. but eventually i went back.

and i used to have a squier strat, it was my first guitar. i really liked the neck, it played well, but the electronics were absolute crap and it couldn't stay in tune for more than a few seconds.

Bars are little pills that get you high for 4 hours and stay in your system for 24 hours a prime choice of drug for a athlete.

Why buy pipes when you can make a bong?

[thickasabrick]

I'm gettin a small pipe, looks really high quality, from this kid on my bus for 15 bucks (american dollars) (cuz i know sum of u r from canada)

i have a small pipe. its awesome. (can't roll a joint worth crap). i've had it for a few months, although i just found out that you should take your finger of the little hole on the side yesterday. mine was 20 canadian.

does anyone here know any musicians, besides Syd (who had enough problems already) who died/went crazy from lsd? cuz i know jim morrison did it every day for a long time, and then he slowly stopped doing it and started drinking every day. but it seems once he stopped doing acid, his health started going downhill. his drinking was killing him, he started doing coke and heroin, and then he died.

the ironic thing is..is that he resented the rest of The Doors by the end of his days, and refered to them as "a bunch of heads (potheads)." but it seemed his choice of drugs ended up killing him.

[Schyma]

Did Floyd do drugs I know Syd did but I dont think anyone else did them?

[Schyma]

Jim was the LSD king.

[thickasabrick]

Why buy pipes when you can make a bong?

because it is about the size of my finger, easy to conceal, and has cool colours.

[thickasabrick]

Did Floyd do drugs I know Syd did but I dont think anyone else did them?

ya they all did them. i dont think anyone else took part in acid as much as Syd did. they all smoked pot, Gilmour once said that they all took drugs just for fun, not to enhance their creativity, or have spiritual moments or anything like that.

[Schyma]

by the way he hated heroin. He probablly died of cuz he actully thought it was coc.

[thickasabrick]

by the way he hated heroin. He probablly died of cuz he actully thought it was coc.

you might be thinking of Hendrix..or did Hendrix hate cocaine? i knew it was one of the other.

ya that is my theory too, along with a lot of other people. He was snorting powdered heroin, so its possible he thought it was coke, which isn't near as strong. Poor Poor Jim.. :upset:

Agreed. Stop talking about your drug experiences.

Nice avatar magicbus.

[Schyma]

Nice Avatar indeed.

[thickasabrick]

Agreed. Stop talking about your drug experiences.

Nice avatar magicbus.

im not talking about drug experiences..im trying to talk about classic rock. there was a thing called Drugs and Rock on tv last night (anyone see it?) and it has me interested now.

who here likes "Bouree" by Jethro Tull? It's a jazzier version of the Bach song, it has great flute and bass.

[FreebirdTPM]

Why are so many guitarists addicted to heroin

[Schyma]

Dont know thats their way of saying good bye I guess.

[thickasabrick]

Why are so many guitarists addicted to heroin

millions of people are addicted to heroin, guitarists are just famous so you hear about them a lot.

Hey Schyma...when did you fix the Strawberry in your name? Didn't it used to be Strawbarry?

[Schyma]

No.....yes........I mean maybe?

[thickasabrick]

Thanks to me he fixed it.
good man. it really bothered me for some reason.

k who actually wrote House of the Rising sun? i know Bob Dylan did a version of it, and The Animals, and several others. but who actually wrote it? i dont think it was Dylan, but sometimes it seems that he wrote everything.

[Schyma]

The Animals did the most famous version.
I dont really know.

[Woodstock]

It's a very old famous folk song, it really has no author.

[Schyma]

Has too...Im looking towards the Miss. Delta on this one.

[Woodstock]

I'm trying to make a good MP3 playlist and I need song suggestions of these artists.

I want some: Allman Brothers, Black Sabbath, Santana, Neil Young, The Doors

[Schyma]

Harvest Moon ...Neil
Hyacinth House, Not to touch the Earth, Indian Summer, peace frog...Doors

[Schyma]

What Doors do you have?

[Woodstock]

What Doors do you have?
Pretty limited, I only want songs off LA Woman, thanks.

[Schyma]

Hyacinth House, LA woman, Riders on the Storm are my 3 favs off LA.W but if you want the sound of LA.W then also get Roadhouse Blues. Try more Doors like the self titled and Strange Days well really all of its good.

The standard one of one of the awesome ones?

Good choice though, teles are cool.

[Badmoon]

Well, what do you mean by "awesome one".

[lunch998]

Well, what do you mean by "awesome one".

One of the custom ones or limited edition ones that cost much more than the Standard Tele.

[Badmoon]

Why would anyone want a silly limited edition one? It's like the same thing, but spray painted gold., and they cost $80000

I'm getting a standard.

[lunch998]

Good point. They sell the "American Custom" and stuff like that for 800$ and up, where as the standards only cost around 400$.

well at least some of us have our heads on straight. it's a start. i'm wanna see some band come along and revitalize the classic rock style...

but with out the extreemly tite pants

I'm pretty sure its "tight". And english.

Thanks on the avatar. I liked the "psychadelia" of the bus, but it was too colorful for my style. I decided to find another Morrison one (sans nipples) and I think this one's pretty cool.

I think we should start sending n00bs to this thread:

so we can have this one to ourselves.

Well actually, most standard tele's are around $600.

We uselss talk about random things, sometimes like the community thread but it relates to Classic Rock somehow.

oh dammit!!! my internet is really messed up right now, and it took me half an hour to load this page, and there aren't any posts on here i can even reply to! i might have to...call a friend? :confused:

edit- k its fixed..i like your new avatar Magicbus.

[thickasabrick]

just to catch up...

i'ts probably too late, but from L.A. woman i would choose Riders on the Storm, LA Woman, Hyacinth House and Roadhouse Blues.

Telecasters are awesome. i almost bought one not too long ago. if you get texas special humbuckers they sound incredible.

i've never heard of Galadriel, but they sound interesting (LOTR fans im assuming?)
any song/album recommendations?

[Illmatic]

Call me crazy, but I was never a big Telecaster guy. Don't know why.

[guitrguy]

Call me crazy, but I was never a big Telecaster guy. Don't know why.
Teles have more of twang tone, good for blues and country. It all depends on your style and what type of tone you like.

[thickasabrick]

Call me crazy, but I was never a big Telecaster guy. Don't know why.

some people don't like them, not a big deal. they are more popular in country music actually, due to the nice twang you can get from them. but i like that sound, keith richards, bruce springsteen and jimmy page can't be wrong can they?

edit- of course guitrguy beats me to it.

[thickasabrick]

who is the guy in Badmoons avatar?

[Badmoon]

In my avatar now or before?

[thickasabrick]

now

[Badmoon]

John Popper - Vocals/Harmonica - Blues Traveler

[thickasabrick]

i've never heard anything by them. is their name misleading or do they play blues?

[Badmoon]

They are a Jam Band (Quite popular actually), and they play a heavy form of Blues.

[thickasabrick]

ya i've heard of them alot (maybe on here) i think i may have one of their records...allow me to go check. this may take a while.

edit- no i dont, i must be thinking of another band.

have you ever listened to Electric Flag? I have one of their albums, never listened to it, and it looks quite psychadelic. I'm just wondering if they are any good? i have a very long list of records i am going through and i don't have time to listen to every single one, so im trying to find good ones.

[Maggot Dream]

I've heard of them, but I don't remember anything by them. I've heard they're good as far as the blues go.

[thickasabrick]

I've heard of them, but I don't remember anything by them. I've heard they're good as far as the blues go.

hey wait...what did you mean by "good as far as the blues go?" that sounds like an insult to me.

well those are the best songs so i wouldn't be suprised.

although i like the nice bass beat on WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) or whatever its called.

[unclebobscircus]

I like how he treats the harmonica like a real instrument. Only a few other people (Bob Dylan, Robert Plant on a few Zep songs) do that.

[thickasabrick]

i've never heard him play harmonica. i've heard a lot better players than bob dylan and especially robert plant though. bob dylan is probably my favourite though, just because i like his music the most (he isn't the best harmonica player). i never even though robert plant as a harmonica player in any sense. he's probably more of a tambourine player than a harmonica player.

and i taught one of my students how to play mr tambourine man last night...the student had never heard of bob dylan.

He is definitley better than anyone you have ever heard. And Blues Traveler aren't strait up Blues. If that was true, I probably wouldn't like them. They an occasional poppy version of it, but mostly a fast loud version of it.

[Illmatic]

I'd also recommend "Blood on the Tracks", "Blonde on Blonde", "John Wesley Harding", "Bringing it all Back Home", and "Nashville Skyline" by Dylan
"The Who Sings My Generation", "The Who Sells Out", and "Quadrophenia" by The Who (obviously)
"Disraeli Gears" and "Wheels of Fire" by Cream
The Doors' self-titled album
"Let it Bleed" by the Stones

oh my god you are right..what was i thinking? i dont even have the morrison hotel record. i forgot i had their "13" album, which also has roadhouse blues.
