Classic Rock

[Against Miik!]

What kinda bands do you think will get into the Rock Hall when this is considered the classic rock era?

edit: Crap, not CR related, forget it

Thats when todays classic rock will become the futures version of 20s and 30s blues.

How come I don't post in this thread anymore?

[Riva]

Don't know. Tell me the answer, oh wise one.

[magicbus]

How come I don't post in this thread anymore?

That's what we wanted to know.

[thickasabrick]

anyone see Oceans 12 where everyone is talking in code, and the Matt Damon character doesn't know how, so he quotes Kashmir (oh let the sun beat down upon my face...) and then everyone is stunned.. and it turns out he called some guys daugher a whore or something?

only me and one other guy in the theatre laughed at that, no one else knew what he was quoting but it was hilarious.

anyone else see that?

edit- guitrguy, lets step inside the community thread as not too spam this thread too much.

[guitrguy]

I haven't seen oceans 12. Is it any good?

[thickasabrick]

i'm just wondering...When did the Guess Who begin their career, and end it? and When did BTO begin? I just wanna know whether they ran concurrently at any point of time, or whether BTO came a lot later.

[slowhand]

k please tell me you guys have heard of Traffic...

someone in the "U2 getting inducted" thread just mentioned Traffic getting inducted and said it was a load of crap because they are an unknown and un-influencial band.

i kinda flipped out on him, and i just wanna make sure my getting angry was relatively justified.

I've heard of Traffic. In fact, I have Traffic's Best of album. They're a cool band. Dear Mr. Fantasy totally kicks arse. Plus, its Steve Winwood singing, man.

I've heard that Page considered him to be the lead singer of the band that would have become Led Zeppelin. And yes, Zeppelin was called at first the New Yardbirds since Page put the band together to finish some tour dates that the Yardbirds didn't do.

They played as Bob Dylans back up band.

I have a bootleg of-Neil Young, The Band and Bob Dylan:eek:

They play Helpless and Knockn' on Heavens Door.:cool:

I saw Dweezil Zappa on VH1 a few days ago. I've never seen his face before, now for Moonunit.

I saw them both on this show about this 'Daughters of Rockstars' special.:eek:

[cant_stand_me_now]

anyone seen the footage from when Dylan played with The Hawks (later The Band) in Manchester in 1964 when Dylan first went electric? Its pretty famous so you probably have but for the lesser knowing ones, some guy shouts "Traitor!" at Dylan. Dylan turns round and says quietly into the mic "I dont believe you, you're a liar." Then RObbie Robertson shouts "You're a ****ing liar!" and they go into a really sneery version of Like A Rolling Stone. :-0

Keep in mind that they quickly moved to the US. And it's stupid to like band more so because they from your country, opposed to not being, IMO.

This is old, but I had to reply about Traffic. Unfortunately they are somewhat unknown, but they are certainly not un-influencial. Steve Winwood is an amazing musician. At one point in his career with Traffic he played guitar, bass, keyboards, and sang for a studio album.

I'm listening to Mr. Fantasy(the album) right now.

Do you know where I can find it?

I've been into Jimi Hendrix for a while now (about 4 months) and he is still the greatest musician I have ever heard.

His songs simply take me away to another place. His solos are just breath taking. His lyrics are thought provoking and inspiring. I love his on-stage antics.

That's mostly true. What albums do you have?

[clown_phobia]

Right now I have Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix, but I will no-doubt be getting his studio albums as soon as possible.

[Distant Echoes]

I do not agree that hendrix was near the greatest guitarist ever...but he was a great song writer. When i actually took some time to not focus on his guitar playing...i realized how great his lyrics were.

My fav song by The Hendrix Exp would probably be Fire. When i hear it, i can never get that tune out of my head

True, he may not have been the greatest, be he definately one of the best. And he was also one of the greatest songwriters.

[lunch998]

Fire is Mitchell's famous drumming song, but I really like his beat in Manic Depression. I'm listening to Are You Experienced right now, actually.

The song or the album? Both are great.

[clown_phobia]

good stuff! If you listen to Hendrix's solo in Axis: Bold as Love - how can you doubt he an amazing guitarist?

[jpj]

I love All Along The Watchtower, it has to be one of the greatest covers ever.

[RNR]

Pfft, everyone needs to forget about that Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists list. Jimi isn't the best but he's very good and is one of the greatest people at making music, ever. And that's all that matters.

Plus, live he's much better than recorded. That's not an easy thing to do.

[Broken Arrow]

I like his version of the blues:cool:


Edit-Well who is the best guitarist then?

There is none. Nobody can be considered the greatest unless somebody's heard all of them. He can be your favorite, but not considered the greatest of all time.

[Kreator2112]

i love "all along the watch tower". robert dylans version is very dull, very boring. it sounds like hes dying in the first minute. although jimi had done alot of covers i still think hes a good guitarist for his era.

Actually, I thought Dylan's verion was good. I think I prefer Hendrix's, but the original is still good.

Stock: The Album.

I also like Hear My Train A Comin', both the acoustic and electric versions.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Who's seen the movie "Hendrix"??

It's pretty good actually.

They interview Pete Townsend and Eric Clapton which I thought was cool.

Plus, there's some footage of him playing which is cool.

Apparently, Jimi was a HUGE Dylan fan.

[Woodstock]

Jimi was a huge Dylan fan. He supposedly carried around a Dylan songbook everywhere he went.

[lunch998]

Yea, which explains his covers of Dylan songs.

[junebug]

he liked dylan because he like the fact that someone who was a bad singer could still sell records

[Badmoon]

To be honest, Michael Hedges is the greatest guitarist the world has ever seen.

/kinda late

[Kreator2112]

arent they making another hendrix movie with that guy from outkast to play jimi's part?

[lunch998]

he liked dylan because he like the fact that someone who was a bad singer could still sell records

Or because of his written lyrics, which is the obvious reason why he liked Dylan.

[Woodstock]

I'm listening to Badfinger right now, they were one of the best bands produced by Apple, other than James Taylor.

[RNR]

I went to buy Workingman's Dead today but it was $26 :eek:. There must be some way to get it cheaper. If not, i'll just pay the $26.

Stupid downloaders! This is what you do to the music industry! :angry:

[jpj]

i saw it on Amazon for like 14. Best Buy or Circuit City's web site has it for about that too.

[Badmoon]

I bought mine for $13.99 (USA).

[lunch998]

Yea 14$ sounds about right. I don't how much that is in Canada though, but I don't think it's 26.

With Badfinger's success, it was better that he went to college :lol:

No, I was quoting somebody who could'nt quote well.

See

[RNR]

oic.

I think i'll just look around. American Beauty was only $18 (only *sigh*). Future shop sucks really bad for music.

[RockAndRoll]

Got a 3cd live who album for 20 bucks at future shop, that was a good deal.

[thickasabrick]

hey lunch i got Workingman's Dead for 15 canadian.

and about the Hendrix and Dylan thing. Anyone know if it's true that Hendrix hired Noel Redding simply because of his Dylanish hair? I've read that in many places, and i'm sure it could be true, because Noel Redding wasn't even a bass player.
i also heard that when deciding between Mitch Mitchell and another guy, they made Mitch and his competator bring in their girlfriends, and they went with the guy who had the hotter girlfriend because apparently that would make him a better rock star.

those may just be rumours though.

[RNR]

Hehe, I would have taken Mitch Mitchell even if he was with a man. He's an awesome drummer :thumb:

[thickasabrick]

ya no kidding....Fire? Manic Depression? those songs are simply amazing.

man the Experience was great.

"I can't play the guitar that well to get all this music together, so I just lay around. I wish I could have learned to write for instruments. I'm going to get into that next, I guess." - Jimi Hendrix, 1970

oh what he could have accomplished.

[Seafroggys]

Hehe, I would have taken Mitch Mitchell even if he was with a man. He's an awesome drummer :thumb:

No ****. I think he's better then Bonham.

[lunch998]

Yea, I just read that Noel Redding was a guitar player before the Experience. He does a great job on Bass considering he just switched to it.

[lunch998]

No ****. I think he's better then Bonham.

I like them for different reasons.

[RNR]

No ****. I think he's better then Bonham.

Now lets not get carried away. Mitch Mitchell was great, but technically speaking Bonham was much better.

[MxShredder]

Yea, I just read that Noel Redding was a guitar player before the Experience. He does a great job on Bass considering he just switched to it.

He was a guitarist, Hendrix auditioned him as a guitarist and then asked him to switch to bass.

/not positive either

[lunch998]

Now lets not get carried away. Mitch Mitchell was great, but technically speaking Bonham was much better.

Seafroggys is a drummer(I'm fairly sure), so therefore his opinion on this matter should be valued highly. I agree with you though.

[clown_phobia]

I listened to Eric Clapton's The Cream of Clapton at my local record shop. I really liked the songs, but the sound quality is very poor. Layla, in all its glory started the cd, but I really couldn't enjoy it.

This is one album that definately needs to be remastered. Fast.

You could just go save yourself the trouble and buy Disraeli Gears.

[Seafroggys]

Well yeah. Bonham is more straight rock and bluesy, whereas Mitchell was a little bit jazzier and funkier.

Bonham is great and all, but when people proclaim him to be the best rock drummer of all time, I just think to poor old Mitchy who's a backing man to a wonderful musician.

Yeah I heard about that. In the '60's, the beatles were a fully studio band (except at the start, of course) and some bands were trying to re-create on stage what they did in the studio. But, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Who were trying to re-create in the studio what they did on stage!

[clown_phobia]

The Who didn't have as much success transfering their live show to the studio as Jimi did, which is unfortunate.

[lunch998]

It's Cream's second album, released in 1967. Psychadelic to the extreme, and Clapton has some amazing parts on that album.

Yep. Playing 5 years :thumb:

Anyway, I can probably safely say that Baker and Mitchell were the best out of the 60s, and Bonham and Moon were the best out of the 70s (I haven't really listened to much Who of the 60s, so my insight is very much inaccurate).

[clown_phobia]

It's Cream's second album, released in 1967. Psychadelic to the extreme, and Clapton has some amazing parts on that album.

Great! I really like the way the bass player on the Cream songs was really laying down a good groove for Clapton to do his thing.

[lunch998]

I think Baker is overlooked. He was doing blast-beats in 1967, before metal was a genre. But anyways, Moon was actually a notorious drummer from the start with The Who, he has some pretty crazy stuff early on. However by 1969, The Who really became an amazing show and a hard rock powerhouse, so that's basically when people say Moon was at his best.

[lunch998]

Great! I really like the way the bass player on the Cream songs was really laying down a good groove for Clapton to do his thing.

Jack Bruce is an amazing bassist. Up there with Entwhistle on my list.

Actually, I think it would be a better idea for you to get the Very Best of Cream first, then you can decide what your favorite album by them is. Everyone seems to favor a different one, so the best of is a good idea. I find that Clapton is almost at his peak in his playing with Cream.

[Seafroggys]

Great! I really like the way the bass player on the Cream songs was really laying down a good groove for Clapton to do his thing.

Jack Bruce. Yeah he's a great bass player. At first I thought that Cream's singer was Eric Clapton, I think their voices are similar. And Ginger Baker was doing freakishly awesome double bass grooves when all of today's metal drummers were in diapers or even before they were little spermies. I wish those two actually managed to do something passed Cream (well, Baker was in Blind Faith), because they were some of the, if not the most talented musicians of the day at their instrument.

i'd have to agree with you there. although you can't forget Neil Peart, he was pretty talented. i dunno what decade you'd wanna stick him in though cuz Rush spanned over a few decades.

i like Baker because his drumming wasn't always as conventional as other drummers. it's as if he wanted to play the melody, and not keep the beat.

Check out Clapton and Bruce alternate singing in Sunshine of Your Love. If you listen really closely you can hear them change every two lines during the verse I believe.

[Against Miik!]

Really? They must have incredibly similar voices then, because I would never have noticed.

[thickasabrick]

What are everyone's favourite Beatles albums and why?

i'm afraid i haven't heard them all. But i have Help, Sgt Peppers, Let it Be and Abbey Road, out of those i really like Sgt Peppers as an album, but Let it Be has great songs on it.

and who sings on The White Room? there's like the normal singer, and then someone sings a lot higher (falsetto possibly). who are the singers? or is it just one person singing both?

[clown_phobia]

If you haven't heard the 60's Who, then you should definately listen to My Generation (US title: The Who sings My Generation) and Tommy. Both fantastic albums.

[Seafroggys]

What are everyone's favourite Beatles albums and why?

Abbey Road. Why? Because it kicks ***. And it has the best sounding drums of all time.

Also, about the Eric/Jack alternating vocals. Yeah, as I said earlier, they have similar sounding vocals. Also, when Jack toured with the Ringo All Starrs in '97, when they did Sunshine of Your Love (I have this on DVD btw) he alternated with Peter Frampton during that same part. So that does make sense.

[Against Miik!]

What are everyone's favourite Beatles albums and why?

Help!, White Album, and Abbey Road simply because of the songs. Not so say I don't like songs on other Beatles albums, but it just seems most of my favorites comes from these 3.

[clown_phobia]

Abbey Road is another album I have listened to at my local record shop. That just has good song after good song. The second half's medley is brilliant. The Beatles have really good vocal melodies.

[Illmatic]

I'd have to go with The White Album...it's the most varied Beatles album. And the songs are great, too (duh).

[clown_phobia]

I heard the White Album is like four solo aritsts on the same album - John with a backing band, Paul with a backing band, George with a backing band and Ringo with a backing band.

[magicbus]

Mainly Roots Rock but they have many different styles.

They played as Bob Dylans back up band.

I have a bootleg of-Neil Young, The Band and Bob Dylan:eek:

Helpless on The Last Waltz is one of my favorite songs on there. They play some bluesy stuff too, but they're mostly folk/roots rock. Like he said.

[RNR]

My favorite albums by The Beatles are Sgt Peppers (because of awesome creativity) and Abbey Road (because I think it has the best songs on it out of any other Beatles albums).

Wow, I can't believe you haven't heard the White Album.

[magicbus]

Jack Bruce. Yeah he's a great bass player. At first I thought that Cream's singer was Eric Clapton, I think their voices are similar.

I wish those two actually managed to do something passed Cream (well, Baker was in Blind Faith), because they were some of the, if not the most talented musicians of the day at their instrument.

I also thought Clapton sang for Cream. I didn't realize it was Bruce until I bought a dvd of them and saw them play live.

With all this talk about Hendrix, do any of you guys listen to Robin Trower?

And does anybody wanna send me some albums over AIM. Maybe The Band, Cream, or Neil Young? I need to rebuild my album list after reformatting my computer.

[RNR]

Great album. It has so many classics on it :). It's seriously underrated, methinks. The Crystal Ship, 20th Century Fox, Light My Fire, The End ;). Great stuff.

[clown_phobia]

and of course: break on through (to the other side). that's a great song too. doors are great. what do you think of the Eddie Vedder (pearl jam singer/frontman) and Jim Morrison comparrisons?

[magicbus]

What does everyone think of the Doors' self titled debut?

I like it. Probably my favorite, next to Strange Days, only because Strange Days seems to follow a gloomier theme, while Self Titled doesn't really have a theme, just all the songs they were playing at the time it came out. Still great songs though.

[RNR]

Eddie Vedder's a very talented singer, considering he started that whole vocal style (not copied it like so many others! :mad: ). But in no way does he compare to morrison's talent. Morrison is just too good.

[magicbus]

Yea, I've never heard of comparisons between the two. Eddie Vedder is talented though.

[clown_phobia]

what is everyone's opinion on these new garage rock bands that are bringing a 70's revival?

[RNR]

Eh, they can't get it right. I mean, cmon, atleast play decent guitar solos...

What's with all of the topic changes? I don't like changing topics this much :(

[clown_phobia]

topic changes keep people posting! it's like a real conversation. If the topic never changed (which it always does), then people would run out of things to say.

[Seafroggys]

what is everyone's opinion on these new garage rock bands that are bringing a 70's revival?

I've been wanting to make a band similar to that since before all these wannabe 70s groups started popping around.

However, it wouldn't be so much a 70's revival group, but more of a varied (progressive, heavy, ballad) rock band utilizing many sounds and styles of the classic rock era but making our own sound.

I've written over 40 songs for this band I will eventually become part of (it only exists in my mind sadly), and we will take over the world.

[thickasabrick]

i think the Doors debut album had some amazing songs, but as an album it wasn't as strong as Strange Days.

I haven't heard a lot by Eddie Vedder, and i've never thought of comparing him to Morrison, but i heard Vedder can do a pretty good Morrison with the Doors of the 21 Century or whatever they are called.

and garage bands....well some of them arent bad, but they lack what the original garage bands had. back in the late sixties and seventies, all garage bands had something different to offer. Early Alice Cooper is a great garage band, in my opinion, because they had something unique, plus obvious talent (of course later Cooper became less garage and more...i dunno what to call it).

[guitrguy]

Eh, they can't get it right. I mean, cmon, atleast play decent guitar solos...

We lasted a good while talking about the Dead.

[unclebobscircus]

Too many modern garage bands (where I live, at least - we call them garbage bands) just want to play death metal and nothing else. It's refreshing to see band that doesn't sing about Satan and rotting corpses every once in a while.

there's a difference between Garage Rock, and Garage Bands. Garage bands mean that they aren't successful enough to play big venues, and get big record deals and stuff. Garage rock bands usually can play big venues, and have big record deals, its just the type of music they play.

Garage rock is best described as the opposite of Prog Rock, very simple chords and chord progressions and lyrics, usually nothing too virtuoistic (if that's a word). Kind of like punk music, how it's simple and to the point, except rock, not punk.

edit- guitrguy, don't you go to school or anything? i'm at school right now, but my class is ending and i can't come on during math.

[guitrguy]

Im in pascal class, im about to go to physics, so yes I go to school.

[guitrguy]

I just find it bland sounding to me.

[Woodstock]

Garage rock, off the top of my head is stuff like The Hives, The Vines, The Strokes, and all those sort of bands. Like a lot of people, I don't really mind listening to it, but I don't really get what the fuss is. Especially with bands like The Strokes, who may be the most critically overrated band I've ever heard, where they seem to have one song, that they just re-release every now and again. It's a generalisation, but a lot of the music is very repetitive.
I agree, all those bands' music does sound the same. I dont realize how people can't recognize that, let alone the record company producing them.

"Taurus" by Spirit really does have the intro to "Stairway To Heaven".

ya, well jimmy page did admit he used the same chord progression and basic idea. so i wasn't suprised when they sounded quite similiar.

edit- some people call him a riff stealer for that, but really how is it stealing when he admits to it? i've heard lots of bands do that. example: april wine - i like to rock, it uses the riff from day tripper. no one gets mad at april wine for that, they just target jimmy page.

I'm pretty sure they're still together. They just plsyed on some late night talk show. I think it was Jay Leno.

I lose interest in Pearl Jam very quickly whenever I hear one of their songs. Didn't they cover Baba O'Riley?

[Kreator2112]

pearl jam is bland 90s alt. although im from that generation, i never liked it. just about ever song i listen to is just as old as i am, if not older, besides the thrash and death metal.

i think their popularity revolves around the uprise of alt in the 90s

Youve most likely never even heard of Neil Young and what does Skynyrd have to do with anything? Neg. Rep for you. :angry:

[Distant Echoes]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is in my pick for one of the top ten best of all time. I really cant stand their southernish songs, but i love their other ones, like Saturday night special, That Smell, The Last Rebel, and who couldnt include freebird?

But their guitarist is fantastic, but too overated on his freebird solo. Just listening to his guitarwork in any other song is amzing to hear...especially blues melody, which i dont think is better then freebird, but more impressive

Maybe, but Townshend is an amazing rythm guitarist. Plus his song writing makes up for anything he lacks in guitar skill.

I brought up the Bruce vs. Entwhistle idea awhile ago and most people preferred Entwhistle. I'm not really decided on the issue.

The bass line at the beginning of Clapton's second solo is great.

Spoonful has some awesome bass lines on it too. I'd much rather listen to Bruce's lines during the solo than the actual solo.

[Illmatic]

I find Jimi Hendrix to be quite un-boring.

But I agree with Led Zeppelin...the least forward thinking and creative of their contemporaries.

[RNR]

3 bands is hardly "a lot". And yes, those bands are overhyped and maybe not as good as many other bands. Then again, all kinds of music have overhyped bands.

[lunch998]

I have Live at Leeds and it is good, but I stand by my original assertion.

The Isle of Wight Dvd might be worth checking out. The quality is not great(it's not Live at Leeds) but the instrumental parts are great. Entwhistle shines more on it that I have ever seen.

[Creedence Clearwater]

That is true especially on the studio version, because Bruce plays Harmonica, which is mainly the lead instrument.

What does everyone think of Cream? As we're on the subject of Zeppelin, Do you think Ginger is better than John? Comparison?

[Illmatic]

Cream was great, but Bonham was better than Baker, methinks.

[lunch998]

Cream is one of my favorite bands.

Bonham got a lot of his stuff from Baker, so it's a tough comparison. Bonham got to do more things, and you can hear how he evolved over Zeppelin's catalog. You can't do that as much with Baker because of the limited amount of material he has. (Limited material with Cream, you can't see him evolve that much in his smaller projects after Cream)

[crazyman]

Cream as well is another boring band

[RNR]

Well of course there are over hyped bands. That's just how some music is, people tend to overhype something that they think is good. ;)

Plus every genre has its overhyped bands and its underrated ones.

I'll agree that Led Zeppelin really gets a lot more credit than they deserve. But, if so many people overhype them, I guess they're rightfully overhyped.

eh, opinions.

Got a favorite classic rock band? That's usually how people introduce themselves here.

This is kind of like an excuse why JPJ isn't up to par with other bassists, but you probably didn't mean it that way.

Black Sabbath is certainly classic rock, one of my favorite bands.

We said that on bass Entwhistle and Bruce both own JPJ. I wasn't trying to make a case that he should be up there with them. I was just pointing out that he played piano far before bass, but he is usually only thought of as a bass player.

Iron Maiden as well is one of my favorites

OK, what should I get first, Blonde on Blonde or Blood On The Tracks?

i'd have to say Blood on the Tracks. it gets back to what Dylan was all about. Blonde on Blonde he kinda strayed away from his more pure folk or folk-rock whatever you wanna consider it. Blonde on Blonde sounds more like an old time bar saloon album, which all the piano and hooting and hollering.

last night, it was about midnight and i decided i wanted to go to bed, but i wanted to listen to one album first. i had to listen to a discman, cuz my record player is too noisy, so my choices were limited (don't own a lot of cd's). i was thinking "man i need some good Dylan cd's" and i went to set my alarm clock for the next day, and i accidently turned on the radio, and there was a big bell noise, and the radio guy was like "and now for classic vinyl, we are going to be listening to Bob Dylans Blonde on Blonde" i was like PERFECT! so they played the entire album no stops and i was in heaven.
