Classic Rock

[thickasabrick]

that's pretty awesome schyma, as well as jpjrulestheworld and magicbus.

so what can you all play on your harmonica?

[DeusExMachina]

I know they're not technically classic rock, but they have a good sound, and I don't really know how to classify them at all so... what does everyone think of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones? Unbelievably talented, in my opinion. Victor Wooten does way better with them than when he's solo.

[thickasabrick]

i read that Dylan book for about two hours last night, i fell asleep with it in my hands and when i woke up i had folded a page over and now im mad.

[Badmoon]

[BillCosby]

[Badmoon]

^Nice, I've heard that DVD is good. Tell how it is when you're done watching it :).

[Badmoon]

Yeah, The Flecktone play around with music a lot. At times, Bela and the rest will play Celtic Folk, Progressive Bluegrass, and usually certain types of Jazz. The music is very interesting. Each musician has a load of talent, and it's quite easy to see. They are also fantastic to see live.

[DeusExMachina]

Bela recently released the first ever classical banjo album. I really want to pick it up. Hey Badmoon, what do you think of that Jack Johnson CD? I really love his stuff. Do you have On and On?

[BillCosby]

^Nice, I've heard that DVD is good. Tell how it is when you're done watching it :).


I've watched some of it, it's good.

But seeing it live was better. :D

I'm really into Polyphonic Spree now. They are a fantastic and original group.

Polyphonic Spree is one wierd band.

But I dig wierd bands, so they're good in my book. I was looking forward to seeing them at Lollapalooza '04 until the whole thing collapsed.

[Illmatic]

Thanks.

[Badmoon]

Jeff Beck - Truth

That's a good album.

[BillCosby]

If you've listened to it yet, how's the Nas album?

[lunch998]

Ho Ho Ho. Merry Everyone.

I the only CD's I got were the LZ complete studio recordings, but I have plenty of money and a best buy gift card, so I'll post the results of my CD shopping spree after I do that.

[Illmatic]

Haven't gotten to it yet.

[Badmoon]

Me too, I also really wanted to see The Flaming Lips and String Cheese, but :(. They have a very unique sound, and I just love it all.

Bela recently released the first ever classical banjo album. I really want to pick it up. Hey Badmoon, what do you think of that Jack Johnson CD? I really love his stuff. Do you have On and On?

I prefer Bela's Bluegrass releases with Sam Bush, Tony Rice, and such. And as of now, I am a bigger fan of On and On, opposed to Brushfire Fairytales. But that may change :).

I had another family party, and I just got Phish bootlegs from Coventry (There last show) and the show they played with Jay Z.

I'll try to get them out to all of you eventually.

[Illmatic]

I wanted to see Sonic Youth (most of all; I was pissed when Lollapalooza went down but I saw them at Avalon last August when they launched a US tour after Lollapalooza was cancelled) and the Flaming Lips as well as the Spree.

I have On and On and Brushfire Fairytales. They're both really good, its impossible for me to pick my fave. On and On was my favorite, but BF will really grow on you. Did for me, at least.

[RNR]

To everyone: nice albums :thumb:. I already sort of posted my jew christmas presents so you all know mine ;).

[Badmoon]

Are you jewish, or are you just screwing around. Not that it really matters.

[lunch998]

Are you jewish, or are you just screwing around. Not that it really matters.

I think he's actually Jewish.

[RNR]

Are you jewish, or are you just screwing around. Not that it really matters.

Yes but I still celebrate christmas. Same god, right?

*no christmas presents though :(. I'd rather get them all at once*

[DeusExMachina]

I celebrate christmas and hannukah, because my dad is Jewish and my mom was raised catholic. However, I don't get double presents. I get one christmas present early (on the first day of hannukah.) I don't even consider christmas a religious holiday, its more just a fun happy family holiday.

[Illmatic]

I don't even consider christmas a religious holiday

Very few people do.

[Badmoon]

^I believe you are actually and officially catholic, and Rock your thoughts on Christmas are incorrect. It's not Godmas. Notice the Christ?

[RNR]

eh, my parents celebrate everything. I just kind of celebrate on the side because i'm expected to :p

I'm not about to question their motives either.

[Badmoon]

Why'd ya kill Jesus?


j/k

I got a microphone too, I'm going to recorded the Badmoon breakdown.

/probably not

[RNR]

The romans killed jesus.

* I know that's probably a joke.

[Badmoon]

^you Killed Jesus!!!!

[Illmatic]

Badmoon killed Jesus! Good god.

EDIT: He deleted it quickly. Slippery devil, that Badmoon.

[RNR]

ahh! He was being an annoying twat, mmkay?

:(

I'm so taking advantage of capitalist day #2 tomorrow. Exoect my cd collection to grow majorly.

[Badmoon]

:lol: We suck at editing.

[RNR]

yeah :lol:. Brush up on the skills there! Sheeshers.

[BillCosby]

I wanted to see Sonic Youth (most of all; I was pissed when Lollapalooza went down but I saw them at Avalon last August when they launched a US tour after Lollapalooza was cancelled)


Well I watched them play an acoustic set.

SUCKA BAM

[Badmoon]

Everyone put both American Beauty and Workingman's Dead in there top album list.

[Woodstock]

I've been wanting Jeff Beck-Truth. I even requested it in the AIM Trading thread.

So if anyone has it........

[Badmoon]

Question:

1.) Does anyone know where a good turtorial for recording music online is? Or could anyone teach me how?

2.) What would be a good easy system to record with? Preferably downloadable.

Go!

[Hobopak117]

Finally there is a thread on classic rock im tired of this new crap, its not even worth listening to. THe bands of the 60's and 70's created rock and now its dead.I wanna quote THe Doors for a second here,"Rock is dead" now its all about popularity. Of ur popular then people will love thats bull****. I hate bands these days . Bands like like the beatles, stones, velvet underground, jefferson airplane floyd those are the bads that created rock. Whats up with these new bands today thay have no meaning in their ****ing songs. These dumbases need to listen to "The End" or "Let it Be". Have u guys heard of the band The Doors of the 21st century they suck compared to the original doors. Its cool and all Ray M. and Robby K. are trying tto jam asgain but they need to stop singing doors songs , leave them alone man there classics.

Shut up.

EDIT: Some real meaningful lyrics from "The End":

Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best, The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us, The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

That's real poetry for sure!

[Against Miik!]

Shut up.

yes

[Woodstock]

Jeez JPJ, you got like 25 CD's!

[jpj]

Jeez JPJ, you got like 25 CD's!
Actually 27 because I got 2 copies of Rocks due to poor communication between family members so I'm gonna exchange it, and my mom got me a CD I already had, which will be exchanged.

Yea, but the Very Best of Cream? How could you?

[Badmoon]

Yeah it is.

14 x 27 = 278

*shows math because he's coo;Hopes he's right*

[Illmatic]

It's possible that a lot of them were bought used.

Smart people buy used CDs instead of new ones.

[jpj]

Yea, but the Very Best of Cream? How could you?
I'm sorry :(

At the time I made the list(October) I really didn't know what to get Cream-wise, so I just asked for the greatest hits.

I told my mom to buy used, but I don't think she like the idea of buying used Christmas presents.

[lunch998]

Yeah it is.

14 x 27 = 378*

*shows math because he's coo;Hopes he's right*

*Fixed, good try though.

[Woodstock]

Even if I do find used CD's, they're only cut by $2.

[lunch998]

Yea it's usually easier for me to buy new ones. I can't wait until tomorrow when I go buy some new Cds.

[BillCosby]

You just gotta keep scanning for deals on amazon.com

I've gotten 5 cd's for 20 bucks once. (not including shipping)

[Woodstock]

Yea it's usually easier for me to buy new ones. I can't wait until tomorrow when I go buy some new Cds.
Yeah, but tomorrow is when the stores are the busiest. You'll get swarmed. Go on Monday. ;)

I got a Who DVD Live In Boston. It was after John had died, so I wasn't expecting much. It was pretty good, Zak Starkey is very talented, and the replacement bassist, Pino Palladino, wasn't half bad either.

[lunch998]

True, when I order them I sometimes look for deals(usually on amazon). But unless I'm looking for something rare I just go to the local record store and not have to worry about shipping.

[jpj]

Hopefully, I'm gonna get Festival Express with all this Christmas money and blow the rest on more CD's.

But who doesn't want to be part of the shopping mob?

Yea I actually heard some good things about The Who Live at Royal Albert Hall, maybe I should give it a listen.

[Seafroggys]

Yay! For Christmas day I also got LZ2. So happy. My CD collection is up to 23 albums (very miniscule to some of yours I'm sure).

EDIT: It also seems like a lot of other people got Aqualung for XMas as well. Good times, and good choice. And wow, I hardly own any CDs :upset:

[Illmatic]

23?

Man, you need to record shopping.

[jpj]

I think mines up around 60, Badmoon has like 300 :(

I think I have 20 or 30 vinyl.

[Illmatic]

I have to have about 250-260 by now.

[lunch998]

Mine is only about 50.

[Woodstock]

I have about 80 CD's, then about 10 to 15 records on vinyl.

[Badmoon]

*Fixed, good try though.

Aww gee :(

I personally have around 350-400 CD's, my parents have over 1000. We're kind of music freaks. Don't have any tapes or vinyl though (vinyl collection burnt away in 1991.)

I only got one CD for christmas... Hard Day's Night. But it's ok, because I got a new guitar.

NEW GAME!

Here is a tough (Actually very simple, but you won't get the simple way ;)) question. Connect Tom Fogerty (CCR) with Jerry Garcia.

[big]

this is spam i know but im just saying that this thread has turned into like its own forum

[Badmoon]

^Hardly anything is considered spam here. :)

We are the Rock and Metal Sancuary (spl?)

[artbarton]

Very interesting thread. I found this forum through Googling for info on a Cream Reunion. I am a working musician(bassist) since 1966 (not a misprint, I was 15) was heavily influenced by seeing Cream in 1968. They combined elements of blues, rock and jazz the world had never heard before. With Marshall amps stacked to the ceiling, which was a new idea, only Jimi Hendrix had done it. Now a reunion is interesting to me because they were far more than just a rock band, they were very improvisational, like jazz.

I have been more of a jazz fan for years, but it all blends together. I like classic rock because many of the musicians could really play their instruments, and some of the best songs have lots of staying power. I just KNEW that acts like the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin and the Who and Cream and of course Jimi Hendrix, would be listened to for many, many years, which was an absurd idea at the time, because Rock was just for teenagers then. But that music had a quality I knew would last, and I was right.

Hendrix is still the best electric guitarist who ever lived, though clearly Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck were all incredible. Strange and unexpected that all but Jimi are still alive and reasonably well. And i really learned to love jazz because of classic rock. See, Jack Bruce from Cream was a a jazz player, played with the drummer from the best Miles Davis quintet (Tony Williams), Tony also played with John McLaughlin, who Miles Davis introduced when he practically practically invented jazz-rock fusion. From there I learned about the real Miles Davis music, then learned about John Coltrane, who played even before my time.Its all connected, Cream is not substantially different in quality from john Coltrane, the greatest of the jazz musicians.

Your responses?

[Badmoon]

[Woodstock]

I'm a jazz fan.

[DeusExMachina]

I love jazz, but I'm a jazz noob in terms of knowledge about it. All I know is it sounds really good.

CCR- Greatest Hits Volume 1, nice since I'm not into them a whole lot although I have Green River
Pearl Jam - Greatest Hits, pretty darn good

My mom couldn't find the Jam Band section in our local Cd store so I got none....it's labled in big letters JAM BANDS :( She also got me a Marshall Tucker Band Cd but it's the wrong one so I'll have to get their s/t she got their newest one which kinda sucks.

And speaking of like older people from the 60's/70's three teachers in my school went to Woodstock, one of them is now a deacon lol.

It's awesome. I kept playing "It Makes No Difference", "Helpless", "Further on Down the Road", the two Dylan songs, and the finale over and over. I love 'em. Robbie Robertson is amazing.

Frank Zappa - Freak Out!
Frank Zappa - Over-Nite Sensation
Doors - LA Woman
The Byrds - Essential Byrds
Blues Traveler - Travelers and Thieves
Widespread Panic - Jackassolantern
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Couldn't Stand the Weather

Oh man I know, Robbie Robertson is one of the coolest cats I've ever seen play guitar. I also love the Neil Young and Clapton songs (my two favorite songs that aren't just The Band LOL WACKY) Seriously though, I can't get over how cool Robbie is. I think I can seriously say I've watched it everyday for the last week and a half.

And to Phishin, nice cd choices man. I got the Crossroads DVD for christmas. Its awesome. :thumb:

i agree with most things people are saying here....classic rock is still the best....even though it may be 30 years old. how can someone deny that the classics like led zeppelin, the who, the beatles, the doors, pink floyd, the guess who, eric clapton and all the others isnt good, talent filled music. all of these bands have great musicians (guitarists) and are good to listen to unless your britney spears' number 1 fan. classic rock is by far the best music out there....and the excuse that the music is old and the guys are washed up isnt a good excuse.

oh and check out the james gang if you havent already....theyve got some good stuff

[Humor99]

I thought Clapton showed up Robbie :p. But Robbie was the closest to keeping up.
Oh there's no doubt that Clapton was the best there, but Robbie is probably the only one on that stage that night who is comparative to Clapton as a guitarist.

[lechutocles]

hi
i'm from argentina, i love classic rock, but my heart is in Pink Floyd.I think that the way gilmour has to play the guitar is just perfect, he makes it speak in the most wonderful way! anyone who want to chat: lechu_sebas@hotmail.com .......i like this about sharing likes in music, specially in what is classic rock, music is all I need. "all you need is love", I think love is found in music, specially in Pnk Floyd, among other artist, classic's, etc.

great forum man!!!

[thickasabrick]

hey whats up everyone im at my cousins in calgary.

we went to the chinook mall today (it's boxing day) and it was busy as hell. you couldn't even move it was so packed, but in one hour i managed to find a cd store, and i bought Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Everybody knows this is nowhere, The Doors - The Soft Parade, and Bob Dylan - Freewheelin, and Times are a Changin.

i got all four cds for 25 bucks canadian, which is very good. considering i dropped that much on one crappy country cd for my friend as well.

[Badmoon]

^Well I may catch a Bluegrass theory clinic and a Peter Rowan and Tony Rice concert.

[RNR]

Yay for Calgary. Haha, you came here right when it's at its coldest :thumb:. Nice cds. Hehe, country really is bigger here than rock :(

[thickasabrick]

it was funny cuz there was a wall of cds for 20 bucks each and i got all excited, after i picked a few, i noticed the next shelf had 2 cds for twenty, so grabbed from that shelf instead, AND THEN! i noticed the 3 for twenty, and i was ecstatic.

do you live in Calgary Rock?

[thickasabrick]

^Well I may catch a Bluegrass theory clinic and a Peter Rowan and Tony Rice concert.

awesome! i'm fairly sure we don't have theory clinics here, and Tony Rice has definitely never came here.

are you guys having a good holiday?

edit- here as in Regina, not Calgary. Calgary is way too big and confusing for me to know anything about it.

[RNR]

Well obviously I do.

We really suck for concerts. :(

edit: actually we're better than most places in Canada for concerts.

[thickasabrick]

i never knew you lived here!! that's cool. it's so huge compared to Regina, but the weather is so nice here. as we were driving from Regina, every couple hours we were able to take off another article of clothing, until i was just wearing my shirt. it was wonderful in the mall just wearing a shirt, without a sweater and then big jacket. this city rocks.

and do you know any good music/guitar stores? i'm going to look for a good place to look at guitars, and i wanna buy a new amp.

[Badmoon]

If you've ever heard of The Old Town School of Folk Music (I think that's the name), go there. They're based here, but are spread out. They offer classes, clinics, workshops, and small concerts. There concert hall only fits about 1,000. So, it will surely be a great show, that is if I do go.

[RNR]

The only place I go for guitars is the Crowfoot NW guitarworks. That might be a little out of the way though :/

[thickasabrick]

The only place I go for guitars is the Crowfoot NW guitarworks.

is it the best one? or is it just closer to you? since i dont know where i am, and i have a few days with nothing to do, i dont mind driving all over the city. i refuse to go back to regina without a marshall halfstack in my backseat.

oh ya and i finished my Bob Dylan book already, i couldn't put it down. it was great, although i can really tell he hates being famous. He went into great detail about his Greenwhich Village club days, and then zipped forward to the early seventies for a while, then zipped forward to the late eighties.

he only briefly touched upon the sixties, and the mid seventies where he came out with some good albums. but man is he great at writing books, i thought it was just songs he was good at.

[RNR]

It's not the best but it's where I go for lessons and where I get my guitar stuff. Some stuff is overpriced but they have a lot of good prices too. They will let you play the guitars if you show an interest in buying something.

*I have no clue of any other guitar shops. It's just the closest to where I live.

**That Bob Dylan book looks awesome. I want it more than ever now.

[Badmoon]

Is it the memoirs?

I'm going to buy some CD's tommorow. I'm not sure what I should exactly get, but whatever.

[RNR]

<----

[Badmoon]

I could get that used.

I am quite sure I'll get something from the following bands:

*I got my Hell To Pay for $10 Canadian. But, yeah, you probably could get it used.

[thickasabrick]

the book is weird because it's called Chronicles: Volume 1

i dunno how he plans on having more volumes, because he basically went over his whole life, unless he plans on writing a book about him writing chronicles.

i felt bad for him at times, because he was, and only wanted to be, a musician. but people were trying to force him to be a political icon and protester. he was forced to stay inside his house all day because hoards of protesters were always outside his door trying to get him to lead them to Washington or something, and he just never wanted to. He said that went on for all of the sixties, and most of the seventies. and he actually tried doing stuff to wreck his career (pouring a bottle of whiskey over his head to look crazy, going to isreal or someplace and wearing a skullcap etc).

he has some good stories though. he told a good one about one time when Bono came over for supper.

edit- but yea, never once did he mention doing drugs, or recording any of his albums except the start of his first one, and one in the late eighties (dunno what its called). he left a lot of himself a secret.

[thickasabrick]

i got this guitar acoustic magazine with a good interview with paul mcartney. it was interesting how he said he never cared at all what equipment he was using, he just cared about the songs. he owned some gibsons and martins and guilds and other very high end guitars, but he always said he liked playing his epiphone the most. which i think is cool, because other guitarists you see only use like the most expensive guitar they can find, and then they buy tonnes of them. paul only used a few different guitars in his career.

In the Anthology Book, Paul mentions that even today, he alwyas feels like Fenders and such are out of reach. Even though he could buy the factory, he feels at odds purchasing such equipment.

Btw, his Hofner bass is the sweetest.

[thickasabrick]

ya he said in the interview, that at a very young age his dad told him not to buy anything to expensive, because you will just end up in debt. even now that he's filthy rich, he's still stuck to that and he's really not sure why.

[only6stringed]

ya i noticed that at my school. Im kinda like you only 15 but instead of growing up on the wiggles n **** like that, my parents had me listening to the who, zepplin, and almost every beatles song.

o.k. off topic: I heard the song Cotton Fields by CCR just recently and it's my new favorite CCR song. Then I was listenin to a Beach Boys CD and I found that they also did a version of this song. Who did this song originally? Is it just an old blues song?

[thickasabrick]

^ i will assume you are trying to talk to Bonzo. (to sixstring whatever it was)

so who are some of your favourite bands then?

edit- and i dunno who sang that song originally, it's a great song though. whose version do you like more between CCR and Beach boys?

I like the CCR version better. Beach Boys is ok, but I crack up everytime I think of one of the Beach Boys anywhere near a cotton field.

[thickasabrick]

hahaha ya i never thought of that.

Surfin Cottonfields USA!

[thickasabrick]

CCR has more raw feeling and emotion, Beach Boys are more polished and packaged.

CCR would be better for the song definitely.

I think I might get The Yes Album, but I definently have to pick up some cds by The Band. My dad already has Music From Big Pink, so I'll probably get the self titled Brown one. Later.

EDIT: I got Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey, but no cds until tomorrow when I use gift cards at Best Buy.

[bogus1017]

yeah, when i was little my dad introduced me to Jeff beck, and im 15 now. I didnt think much of him, but now he my favorite. Im also noticing tons more classic rock fans. a lot of my friends play guitar as well as me, and we get more out of classic rick than modern rock. rock bands that have guitar these days seem to not be putting much effort into playing it the correct and only way. they put hardly any creativity into it, and it just gets boring.

just putting my thoughts in everyone. :)

[Woodstock]

Good first post, most people just blast all other music like rap. It'll be nice to have a Jeff Beck fan in the Classic Rock thread.

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Try Old Friend by the Allman Brothers. Ill try and think of some more.

[thickasabrick]

hey livewired if you are looking for slide guitar songs look into George Thorogood, he's an amazing slide guitarist. Allman brothers have some great ones. Clapton had a few.

are you looking for ones to listen to? or play yourself?

i usually don't bother with magazines anyways. we have a bunch laying around at work, and i read them sometimes if my student doesnt show up. i'm more of an acoustic guy, but either way is fine.

i've never heard Rising, maybe i will look into it.

so today as i was looking for amps, i was very disappointed. I went to about seven different stores here in Calgary, and only one store had the head i wanted, and all the cabinets i wanted were either in horrible condition used, or overpriced new.

They remind me of Ac/dc in the aspect of lame, trivial lyrics and the same type of rockin' guitar solos. Exept Ac/dc's like 4872672687265876872 times better.

The Silvertide stuff i've heard isn't very memorable.

They still kick the crap out of 99% of modern mainstream music.

I said Beatles compositions not compilations. I meant: do you prefer John Lennon's, Paul McCartney's, George Harrison's or Ringo Starr's original songs better?

oic

John Lennon's stuff was the best fo sho.

I saw Sivertide live when they opened for Van Halen. They certainly have their potential.

I was looking for slide songs to play by the way.

/just read more of the Jim Morrison biography. :D

Lennon/McCartney fo sho. But then again, George pulls it off quite nicely.

[Illmatic]

George!

Well, maybe not. But the few songs George did do were great.

[thickasabrick]

lennon/mcartney definitely. they are like simon and garfunkel together, except lennon and mcartney both do the amazing writing, not just simon.

did that even make sense?

[thickasabrick]

hey livewired if you are looking for slide songs to play, just take the easy way out and learn In My Time of Dying. it's like the "Smells like Teen Spirit" for slide (all slide noobs just have to learn it)

[Illmatic]

Lennon and McCartney were much, much better than Simon and Garfunkel, methinks.

[thickasabrick]

youthinks

[thenextrhoads]

Ithinks too

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Did anyone ever check out Kings of Convenience? Similar sound to Belle/Sebastian or Simon/Garfunkel
