Classic Rock

[jpj]

I don't care for that song.
Even the 24 minute version on nugs with Warren?

[Badmoon]

Even the 24 minute version on nugs with Warren?

24 minutes is rarely healthy. But we'll see.

[jpj]

24 minutes is rarely healthy. But we'll see.
It's under The Derek Trucks Band, but it's actually Phil Lesh & Friends just so you know.

[RNR]

I don't care for that song.

That's not very fanboyish :(. u r ded 2 me

Nice ninja edit rock, too bad you're not quick nough for me!

:(

24 minutes is rarely healthy. But we'll see.

Good ol' Jerry knew to keep it under 20 :thumb:

[magicbus]

Riders On The Storm, When The Music's Over, and The End are my top 3 favorite Doors songs that are really long and cool

[jpj]

I think they pull it off just fine. I was never bored.

[Badmoon]

There and Back Again is a good album.

/fact

[Woodstock]

Anyways, I kind of find Disreali Gears overrated. (prepares for flame)

[magicbus]

/fact

Does anybody still have their christmas avatar on?

NP: PATGOD. Matilda Mother has some pretty calming music. What's your favorite song off this cd?

I won't flame, I'll just say that I think nothing Cream does is overrated.

[Badmoon]

I think they pull it off just fine. I was never bored.

They were screwin' with the melody a little too much in the beginning. But that song has always had a crappy melody if you ask me.

Why dont you two go to the Jam Band thread?

Are you trying to be funny!

Phil Lesh is classic rock, therefore There and Back Again is relevant.

[jpj]

Bike's my favorite because "I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house, I don't know why I call him Gerald, He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse."

Best lyrics of all time.

[Woodstock]

Anyways, I kind of find Disreali Gears overrated. (prepares for flame)
Well????

[jpj]

I disagree, I think Disraeli Gears is a terrific album.

[Badmoon]

That Phil Lesh set is insane. I was just browsing through it and they played some great Dead stuff. Like "The Golden Road". That was rarely played, and Warren does great.

[Woodstock]

I disagree, I think Disraeli Gears is a terrific album.
Have you seen my last rep comment to you?

I think DG is a good album, but I think it gets too much credit

[magicbus]

Well????

See above.

[jpj]

Have you seen my last rep comment to you?

I think DG is a good album, but I think it gets too much credit
Yes, I saw it and no it's not me in my avatar, dickweasel.

[Ulysses]

Have you seen my last rep comment to you?

I think DG is a good album, but I think it gets too much credit

I think it is a great album with some really great tracks on it, Strange Brew, Sunshine of Your Love, Swlabr, Tales of Brave Ulysses just to name probably the best tracks on an all round good record, i don't think it is overrated but Fresh Cream and Wheels of Fire also has some great tracks that are often overlooked.

[Woodstock]

I think Swlabr is the strongest track on the album.

New avatar(but we can't talk about it)

[Ulysses]

Technically Swlabr is one of the stronger songs, but my favourite would have to be Tales of Brave Ulysses, at the moment anyway.

[clown_phobia]

so whos your favourite band Ulysses?

and Badmoon, i noticed D'addario was trying to sell their mandolin strings by putting David Grismans name on the front. in our filing cabinet full of strings at work, there was a pack that said "david grisman uses these strings". i've never heard anything by grisman, but he must be **** good.

So you work in some kind of music related profession? Sounds great :thumb:

What do you do? Tell me more! :cool:

[RNR]

Yes, I saw it and no it's not me in my avatar, dickweasel.

:lol:. Woodstock's a funny man.

DG is a great album. A great album that I need to listen to closely and then i'll get back to you guys on whether I think it's worth its hype. Because I know how you guys value my opinion :thumb:

[Woodstock]

:lol:. Woodstock's a funny man.

DG is a great album. A great album that I need to listen to closely and then i'll get back to you guys on whether I think it's worth its hype. Because I know how you guys value my opinion :thumb:
Yes, yes I am.

But I'm dying to hear your opinion.

[Ulysses]

The more opinions the better, deep discussions are always good

[clown_phobia]

Which bands, in your opinion have a really good groove. I'm talking about bands like The Doors and Pearl Jam.

[jpj]

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

[Woodstock]

Jeff Beck Group, Santana, Bob Marley & The Wailers.

[clown_phobia]

Bob Marley & The Wailers.

Yeah! they're good - but do we consider them Classic Rock? The definitve reggae band are very good.

[Badmoon]

Groove = Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd

[Woodstock]

Anyone see the Govt. Mule performance? Warren did a pretty nice solo, but he shoulda extended it out another 13 minutes.

[jpj]

Well, when I listen to Mule I just can't help but bust-a-move, if that's what you mean by groove.

I watched it, the solo should've been a lot longer, but it was good.

[Woodstock]

Well, when I listen to Mule I just can't help but bust-a-move, if that's what you mean.

I watched it, the solo should've been a lot longer, but ti was good.
Yeah, he did good with the time he had. But he still owned almost every other current guitarist.

[clown_phobia]

Tell me about guitar dueling please.

[jpj]

Yea, I hope I get to see him with The Allmans this summer.

[Against Miik!]

Yea, I hope I get to see him with The Allmans this summer.


I saw in I think it was September. It was a far different experience from what I expected. They did a lot of long jams. I think Gregs voice is starting to go a little bit. He didn't sound bad, but he didn't sing a lot. So if you like jams, it will be fun.

[EightMilesHigh]

I love long jams so iif I get to go it should be a great experience.

EVERYONE IF YOU HAVE VH1 CLASSIC PUT IT ON THE ALLMAN BROTHERS ARE ON! IT'S A FULL CONCERT! OTEIL JUST BROKE OUT THE 6 STRING :eek:

Also is Jaimoe still with them or is he dead because there's an old black dude in the background playing bongos.

[Woodstock]

Stop making me jealous, I only have regular VH1.

[jpj]

This show is so awesome, now Warren and Derek are like having a guitar duel.

[magicbus]

I also don't have vh1 classic. :upset:

[jpj]

That sucks, usually they show crapy 80's videos but every once in awhile they show something really awesome like this.

[magicbus]

Yea I've seen it at my friends house. Most of the 80's stuff sucks, but occasionally we'll catch some Sabbath or somethin.

[jpj]

Yea, one time they showed Van Morrison, The Doobie Brothers, and Peter Frampton in a row which was cool.

Warren is gonna make my brain explode.

[Syncratic]

I have VH1 Classic....how long's the concert on for?

[Badmoon]

They'll play it again tonight. It is quite long.

[Seafroggys]

Agh, hate VH1 Classic Rock. All that was on was Poisan and 80s ****.

Before this 'comeback', I told people that I liked classic rock, and they'd think 80s. Whatever.

[jpj]

The concert was 3 hours long. I only caught the last half and it was awesome.

I stopped by FYE today in the mall and picked up

Pinkfloyd - Saucerful of Secrets
Rush-Vapor Trails
The Who - Tommy

Ive been waiting forever to actually OWN tommy, so i got it for 20 bucks. I was sort of bummed because the album art was different and there was only one disc instead of 2, but whatever. I cant wait to listen to SFOS though, ill probably listen to it 200 times tomorrow

[jpj]

I hate FYE, they're so over priced. I usually buy used at places like CD Warehouse, sometimes you can get 3 CD's there for the price of one at FYE.

[Against Miik!]

Theres this place where I live called Half Price Books. They sell CDs and old records. CDs are usually 3$ or 4$ and you can get amazing records for as little as 50 cents.

SFOS is so good. A friend of mine showed me Live in Pompeii , and I was blown away.

[Distant Echoes]

I got that for xmas, and it wasnt anything i expected from floyd. I orginally thought it was like, a live concert (hence the DVD name), but it wasnt that, but it wasnt like a biography either...it was an "idea", like the movie said. I totally changed my ways of looking at floyd, and this was all before DSOTM took off.

[ooba dooba]

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?


This is now a Classic Rock Discussion thread!

They are great. Their first album, the self titled one, is my favorite.

Check out the song Mean Street. :thumb:

[RNR]

Mean Street is a true fan's song. The whole album Fair Warning is awesome.

[thickasabrick]

hey you guys. i have fair warning its a pretty good album, but i also have their first one and i prefer that one. i really like van halens songs although eddie bothers the hell out of me.

and my mouse isnt working, so i have to do everything by keyboard, it took forever to finally get to this thread. can someone maybe tell me if anything interesting has happened, because it takes too long for me to switch pages? how is that album nomination thing going, is it done yet?

[Broken Arrow]

That's the same deal with when I saw Van Halen.:)

Also with Depp Purple. They're not even in my top ten favourites but I still wen to see them because they are good and available. They were absolutely amazing live though and I'm really glad I went. And also Satch was there so it was amazing ++.

EDIT-Van Halen albums I own on viynl and C.D. -Fair Warning, 1984, s/t, II and Women and Children First. (I might have missed one)

[magicbus]

Rock not roll had an impersonator who spammed for like 3 pages. Its not worth going back to every page.

[thickasabrick]

haha alright. so i got a new guitar amp yesterday, its quite lovely.

im just wondering, what year did van halens last album come out? cuz it seemed they havent put out an album in forever, yet they still tour every year riding their old wave of success.

[jpj]

I finally got The Last Waltz! And it was free because I used a gift certificate :D

I'm not sure when there last real studio album came out but I beleive they have released a new Bast-of album this year with some new tracks and decided to tour.

[Woodstock]

I bought:

James Gang-Rides Again

Ok, if I like "I Shall Be Released", what Dylan album would I like best? (hope this works)

[Jam2Me]

I have the Romanian Angel Appeal CD that George Harrison's wife put together.
It's pretty rare, but not all that great. But Ringo and his All-Star Band have a song on it that's awesome. That's the only song I've heard by him other then that one on Concert for George.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Lately Ive been getting really interested in the Doors and I'd like to know more about them...so if anyone can tell me stuff about them or recommend a website, it would be greatly appreciated.

[lunch998]

[RNR]

Lately Ive been getting really interested in the Doors and I'd like to know more about them...so if anyone can tell me stuff about them or recommend a website, it would be greatly appreciated.

Reccomended Albums (some left out due to lack of my hearing them): Strange Days, S/t(best, in my opinion), La Women, Morrison Hotel (weakest of the those 4, still a good album). Or you could get one of their 49827266755468257687 greatest hits albums.

Songs- The End, People Are Strange, Roadhouse Blues, People Of The Sun, Riders on The Storm, La Women, Strange days, Light My Fire. Those should get you started.

[BillCosby]

Strange Days, Morrison Hotel, S/t, La Women, Morrison Hotel. .


That's basically all their studio albums (besides The Soft Parade), isn't it?

[RNR]

Yeah. I haven't heard the soft parade. I can't deny good albums ;)

Err, umm. I see your point.

haha alright. so i got a new guitar amp yesterday, its quite lovely.

im just wondering, what year did van halens last album come out? cuz it seemed they havent put out an album in forever, yet they still tour every year riding their old wave of success.

The last album they released was with Gary Cherone in 1998. It wasn't their best and they parted company with Cherone shortly afterwards. After that they didn't tour because Eddie had cancer and various other things stopped them from going. This year the settled their differences with Sammy Hagar and he is now back in the fold. Apparently Alex VH said they were going to return to the studio to work on new material. Fingers crossed everything goes well. :)

Hahahahha. Nice one man.

There are ways to be high at family things, although personally I'd rather not be. It'd be so sweet to go play in pompeii or something like that.

I was a tad bit confused as what that had to do with my post but it is indeed. I love that live disc to death. One time though on a trip back from somewhere we were listening to it in the car and my sister got all pissy and stupid. I hate when people are like that. Once at lunch we were listening to moby dick (off htwww) and some moron said "this sucks, I could play this it's just hitting stuff" :angry:

It had nothing to do with your post, I just figured I'd direct it at you since you are a fellow drummer. You probably enjoy/appreciate it more than most others.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

what albums does Tom Petty have? I've heard a lot of his songs but dont know any of the names of his albums... I love that riff in the middle of Mary Jane's Last Dance. I noticed that that riff was used in a song by some girl called Joss Stone but I didnt like her song as much

I downloaded Toad several weeks ago. Great song. I need to get all the Cream albums.

"Moby Dick" off of HtWWW is horrible. It's suicide-inducingly boring. A 15 minute drum solo? Are you kidding me? I hate how all amatuer musicians (drummers and guitarists alike) listen to this crap. I play guitar and I hate Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, and all the other "virtuosos" and I can't stand Dream Theater. And to use an example off of HtWWW, I don't like JImmy Page's sloppy guitar solo on "Heartbreaker" either. What possible explanation is there to liking it? "Dude, look at how talented it is!" It's like reading a book simply because it has a lot of big words in it.

Good point. But it doesn't mean he's a bad guitarist. I'm guessing you don't believe that Jimi Hendrix was the best guitarist that ever lived.

Anyways, I like 'Heartbreaker' of "How the West Was Won" not because of it's technicality, or because it's just "Jimmy Page man!" I like it because it seems that he was enjoying what he was playing. For me, there's nothing better than to hear a musician when he is enjoying himself/herself while performing in front of a live audience. Jimmy Page was never a guitarist who wanted to be perfect, he just wanted to play guitar, and that's what I like and that's what I feel he is doing on that track.

I was one of them kids who didn't see what Jimmy Page was all about. I thought people were dumb to go on and proclaim him one of the best guitarist there are. But that album won me over. They were a great live band. Sod everything else.

But it's cool that you have your own opinion, though. Don't take this as me trying to flame you, I was just bored and wanted to write something, since I haven't posted in here in so long.

PS: I think I'm gonna get me a Page avatar now...

"Moby Dick" off of HtWWW is horrible. It's suicide-inducingly boring. A 15 minute drum solo? Are you kidding me? Ya, because we all know drums aren't a musical instrument that have potential to be used in interesting ways. :rolleyes:

I hate how all amatuer musicians (drummers and guitarists alike)listen to this crap.
Oh and who are you exactly? Talking down on all these "amateur musicians". And since when are guitarists and drummers the only musicians?
I suppose you've never visited the drum forum where amateurs and pro's alike have drum solo competitions. And I suppose you've never visited a place like drummerworld.com where you might learn that all these supposedly unmusical show-offs can actually play music.

I play guitar and I hate Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, and all the other "virtuosos" and I can't stand Dream Theater. And to use an example off of HtWWW, I don't like JImmy Page's sloppy guitar solo on "Heartbreaker" either.
Whoopdie doo and good for you. What the **** do you want? An award?

What possible explanation is there to liking it? "Dude, look at how talented it is!"It's like reading a book simply because it has a lot of big words in it.
You're so right. I mean, I've been such an idiot this whole time. What is wrong with me? I mean this whole time I've been sitting listening to virtuosos that have mastered instruments and use their mastery of the instruments to produce unique sounds and music. It's like I'm a writer trying to expand my vocabulary, what a dumb thing to do eh!

It's also wrong to listen to musicians that use their more limited skills to express music in interesting ways because that is also different, exciting and may lead to helping you create some amazing music. We sould ban all music that attempts to further expand on a musician's ability to express themselves.:rolleyes:

Give me a break from your "musicality and proficiency cannot go hand in hand" attitude.

[lunch998]

I really enjoy Moby Dick on HTWWW. I find it interesting. It doesn't prove Bonham is the best drummer ever, but it doesn't need to. It just sounds good.

Okay a little trivia. The song "Grand Hotel" By Procol Harum inspired which Comedy Novel written by a man who has played guitar with Pink Floyd?

I think that Cream itself its incredibly underrated by rock fans. I don't know many people who have even listened to them. They were the ones who forged what would become Zeppelin's audience, but they have little to no recognition by today's listener.

What a shame.

[lunch998]

Whenever I tell my friends I'm listening to Cream they all say "Who's that?" I just tell them Eric Clapton was the guitarist.

you wouldnt like the Zeppelin DVD then, Bonhams drum solo in Moby Dick is about half an hour long. I'm not a drummer, but i find it pretty exciting.

but i agree with what you are saying about a lot of shredders, or virtuosos as you called them.

[slowhand]

Yeah, that's the only thing they recognized.. and barely. "Tears in Heaven" has deminished his virtuoso years to nothing more than a lost memory in a sea of pop wailing.

(.****, I got rather poetic there)

--Don't get me wrong... I like "Tears in Heaven"

hey slowhand! i havent seen you in a while, hope you had a good christmas, and new year.

the vast majority of classic rock "fans" don't know anything about cream. i was talking to this one guy at my school, who had a bunch of clapton songs on his mp3 player, he was telling me what a huge fan of clapton he is, and i said i prefered him in cream way more...and he was like "whos cream?" i was very disappointed.

Ouch, that's disappointing. I don't usually come across people who are Clapton fans but not Cream fans.

Then again, I don't come across many Clapton fans.

You've got to be kidding. Cream is one of the first 60's bands I ever heard. It's all part of this classic rock fad going on. People listen to it because it's "cool," but don't take it any more seriously than they took Sum 41 and Blink182 three years ago.

Jethro Tull... Well, I'm not a big fan. Really can't get into their style *coughflutecough* but what I hear from them is good. Might give them some time later.

Did you know that on the Rock 'n Roll Circus they wanted to have an unknown band amongst the stars, you know, to give them a push into the mainstream. It came down to two bands. Jethro Tull and another band. The other band was too guitar-orientated for Jagger's taste and decided to put Tull instead.

That "guitar-orientated" band was the still very young Led Zeppelin. Ironically, they would be more famous than Tull... as if you guys didn't know that.

[thickasabrick]

stick to the avatar you have now Slowhand, it's cool.

ya now that i think about it, i listened to cream before i even knew clapton had a solo career. of course back then, i only knew about four cream songs.

and yes, what are everyones thoughts on Jethro Tull, i'm a big fan myself. but i ramble about them alot so i wont go on.

[slowhand]

Jesus... any opinion on this (http://www.led-zeppelin.org/multimedia/photos/jimmy157.jpg)

[lunch998]

I prefer the early Tull to the later Tull, my favorite era is up to and including Thick As a Brick. They have a strange style but I find it very interesting, and obviously it is original. They cover a lot of genres in their music, especially on early albums like This Was, Stand Up, and Benefit. While they may not be your first choice for a favorite band, they are a very talented group and make for an interesting listen.

[thickasabrick]

Oh and i totally love how Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for best metal album in the '88 Grammys. Everyone was totally suprised, and even Kirk Hammet made some very angry comments about it after. I mean at the time, everyone (including Metallica) thought Metallica were metal gods, and i'm sure the vast majority of Metallica fans didnt even know who Jethro Tull was.

You know what else I found strange about that?

Page played on some Stones track when he was into the whole session guitarist thing. Then here he comes, with a new band, and Jagger didn't even seem to be interested in them. I mean, Page played for the Stones, they could at least put him on the bill. Tull did one song, what would if cost them to put Zeppelin on with just one song as well.

[thickasabrick]

I think either way he would have lost. Jethro Tull>Stones.

thats a pretty bold statement. i like Jethro tull better, but the Stones were definitely way bigger in terms of famousness.

[slowhand]

Zeppelin, better than the Stones?

That's just a matter of personal taste.

But when Zeppelin came along, they sold more albums and filled out more stadiums than the Stones were (that was during the 70's).

Yea but he was paid as a session guitarist. Jagger didn't owe him anything after that. Besides it turns out that Page made out just fine without Jagger giving him the gig.

Still, you would think he would have a good heart, and to put him on a track instead of Richards... I mean, that must mean they thought he was better than Richards to do that track.

I think if I was in Jagger's position I would have considered putting them on the bill just because of that.
