Classic Rock

[thickasabrick]

its somewhat weird thinking about how big the Stones are. like some people consider them the greatest band of all time, but think about it...

early to mid sixties mod era: the Who, and the Beatles, were better than the Stones

later sixties psychadelic era: tons of bands were better than the Stones

seventies arena rock: Zeppelin, Floyd, The Who, countless bands were bigger than the Stones

eighties: they still put out albums, and toured a lot, but really didn't do anything too amazing.

90's to now: still nothing that was too great.

i think they are so famous, just because they have been touring and putting out albums for so long, they never really went away. there has always been better bands than them.

[slowhand]

Hehe, well being in The Rolling Stones, Jagger was allowed to have that big an ego.

Your classic rock knowledge is impressive, slowhand.

That happens when you are bored and have nothing else to do. Of course, when I'm interested in something, I tried to find as much of information on that thing as I possibly can.

Good points. I think they get a lot of credit for being their at the beginning of the British invasion and really influencing and moving rock music. Their influence>their music in my opinion.

They also were part of the first wave of the British Invension. I think they are so big because they were the bad boys of music during those days. Today they seem tame, but back then, they were outrages, probably the Eminem of that period.

(I never thought I would put the Rolling Stones and Eminem on the same sentence... )

[Illmatic]

Plus, they kept rock alive after the disaster at Altamont, the Beatles' breakup, and the deaths of Hendrix and Morrison.

Oh, and their best material (Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed, Beggars' Banquet, Exile on Main Street) is fantastic.

[thickasabrick]

ya thats true. they were known more for their personalities than other bands at the time. they were so much more raw and sexual, than say...the beatles.

i'm sure you all know this, but in American Pie, Don Mclean refered to Mick Jagger as the devil. He hated Mick Jagger so much.

[slowhand]

I have a friend who hates the Stones just because of Mick Jagger... actually, because of how Jagger performs... weird.

But I'm slowly getting him into the Stones. 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Paint it Black' are very tempting.

[thickasabrick]

ya actually my favourites are Sympathy for the Devil, and Paint it Black. but i also love You Can't Always Get What You Want.

[Woodstock]

Wild Horses is one of their best.

[slowhand]

Well, I like a lot of songs by them, but those are the ones that my friend actually tolerates.

[thickasabrick]

i've got an off topic question, i'd ask elsewhere, but i know you guys the best so i like talking to you.

is it bad to use alcohol and marijuana at the same time? i was telling my friend about last night, and i mentioned i smoked some weed, and then drank some vodka..and he's like "mixing alcohol and weed is how you die, it's so bad for you."

i had never heard that before, is what he's telling me fact or fiction?

and once again, sorry for the spam.

[HendrixPage]

The Best Classic Rock Bands

The Who

The Beatles

Bowie

The Doors

Zeppelin

Stones

AC/DC ( in a way cuz their albums came out in the 70s)

Clapton's bands
Thats all i can think of

[slowhand]

I don't think it would kill you, but it would leave you in a very f.ucked up state later on.

Unless you plan on over-drinking-and-smoking it won't kill you.

[thickasabrick]

well actually HendrixPage, that's just your opinion. you can't state "The Best" bands straight out like that, unless the whole world agreed with you. and i for one do not agree with you.

and Bowie is a guy, not a band.

[thickasabrick]

I don't think it would kill you, but it would leave you in a very f.ucked up state later on.

Unless you plan on over-drinking-and-smoking it won't kill you.

oh ok. i used to drink all the time, and i've never been hung over. today was the first time i have been hung over, and i was wondering why, and then my friend told me that, and i was like "uh oh, maybe im dying".

thanks.

[Illmatic]

When he says "the best", he obviously means "the best in my opinion". If he says it, it's his opinion. I assumed we all knew that, and that you weren't one of the people who is confused unless someone puts "IMO" in their post.

[Illmatic]

Wild Horses is one of their best.

123. That whole album is fantastic.

[Rasta Rocker]

my friend told me about drinking and smoking weed at the same time. hes still a genius in school. it cant be too good for you. go ahead and try it, but i wouldnt do it too much. you dont want to smoke and drink yourself retarded

[Rasta Rocker]

whats 123

[jpj]

When someone say "123" it means they agree.

[Seafroggys]

Rolling Stones are okay. My parents saw them about 7 years ago (wow....its been that long?)

I like the riff in Satisfaction, and Paint it Black's a pretty **** cool song too.

I feel like a noob for knowing only their hits.

[Brewster]

i've got an off topic question, i'd ask elsewhere, but i know you guys the best so i like talking to you.

and once again, sorry for the spam.

No offense but your friend is a dumbass. You will not die from mixing alcohol and weed. It will only result in you getting real ****ed up and feeling retarded the next day. :lol:

On a side note, classic rock is the **** and it's the main type of music I listen to.

Edit: I was censored! BASTARDS! This is the first forum I've been on that does that.

[Kingadamx]

Exile on Main Street is just flawless imo. I actually happen to like most of their albums. The people who only know the Stone's hits are really missing out on a lot of good material, I happen to not like their singles nearly as much as some of their most classic albums on the whole such as Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, or Beggar's Banquet.

Well, using the word "better" can't really describe a bands success. The other bands listed may have been better then the Stones but the Stones were probably bigger. Especially in the late Sixties. The only band that was bigger then them was the Beatles and at times the Doors. Also in the 80's they were still releasing fairly good material while most of the bands from the 60's were gone.

[magicbus]

i dunno, it's a cool pic but i think you've probably got the best avatar around right now.

AHEM.



:p

Yea I enjoy Paint It Black and a few of their other riffs, but other than that the Stones aren't very big in my book. Their music is kind of plain to me. They have been around for a while though, I'll give em that.

Yeah, about avatars. My paint will only let my pictures be bit map. tha's weird. So I'm stuck with this one but my other compter just got back from the fixer place and its much better but my brothers on it.:(

I just learned "Heart of Gold" on harmonica. It was easir then I thought.:)

Yeah it was simple. I'm just having a hard time finding the tabs. The place where I actually found the harmonica for Heart of Gold was in the Gutiar tab for it on mx. Anyways if anyone has a good website if you could share.

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Harmonica tabs are so hard to find. Most sites make you pay to use them.

[RNR]

Neil Young's one hell of a harmonica player :).

i just discovered this thread, i feel pretty dumb after seeing page 759 of 759, but eh. i'm 20 and cant get enough sabbath, zeppelin, floyd, petty, you name it and without it we wouldn't have rock today. thank you amazing 60's 70's

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah I found a really good site but it costs money

[Woodstock]

I think I should get a harmonica, it seems to be the fad of the thread.

I got one for Christmas, but I can't find a good site to learn songs on.

Thanks, I got the intro down pretty good.

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah its sweet but easy. Especially if you know the guitar(also increibly easy) because then you can do then thing all by yourself. All I need is one of the crazy things that hold your guitar for your while you play so you can do both.

I was going to get one for christmas, but I got no money at all. From anyone. Just gifts.

I can promise you that the transcription is simple. I use to have a key to harmonica transcriptions, but I can't remember any of it.

[thickasabrick]

i can't play any classic rock songs on my harmonica, i can only play things like When The Saints Go Marching In, and Battle Hymn of the Republic or whatever it's called. I havent tried learning any new songs in about three years though. I'm thinking of actually learning how to play harmonica well, so i can play Dylan songs.

Hey Badmoon (or anyone who knows the answer), who all plays guitar on the song Terrapin Station? I think somewhere around 12 minutes into the song, there is a guitar solo that doesnt sound like anyone that i'm used to hearing in the Grateful Dead.
Did they have another guitarist for that song, or is it one of the normal Grateful Dead members?

[Badmoon]

Well, being that "Terrapin Station" is not a "normal" Grateful Dead song, it wouldn't be that surpising that the guitar playing wouldn't be normal. So, it is most likely Garcia.

[thickasabrick]

oh really thats cool. he's a pretty amazing guitar player, i didnt know he could play like that. i still prefer his more bluegrassy playing, but this is good as well.

badmoon you always seem to show up right when i ask a question.

edit- and that song is ****ing brilliant!

[Badmoon]

badmoon you always seem to show up right when i ask a question.

:lol: yea


Fact: Billy Cobham played with Bob Weir (G. Dead) in Bobby & The Midnites. Billy has also played in Jazz is Dead. Which is a Fusion Jam Band that did Jazz covers of many Grateful Dead tracks.

Never knew Cobham was that close before I heard those.

[lukehkd]

i have a question, why does everyone hate styx?

[thickasabrick]

thats a cool fact. Is Bob Weir still around?

[thickasabrick]

i have a question, why does everyone hate styx?

i dont hate styx. actually i've only heard two songs by them. i just don't know anything about them or their music. what makes you think everyone hates styx?

[Badmoon]

^Yes, he is with The Dead.

i have a question, why does everyone hate styx?

Because they put out inconsistent albums, were flashy/homosexual clothers, and change their style for the worst often.

[magicbus]

^Yes, he is with The Dead.

Basically, pwnt.

[RNR]

i have a question, why does everyone hate styx?

I don't hate styx. I don't like them very much though.

[thickasabrick]

are The Dead still making albums, or touring or anything?

oh ya and Badmoon, i had a very long dream about you last night. I won a contest where i get to hang out with a rockstar, and i chose you. and we went to some bayou type place in Mississippi, and played a bunch of gigs together at a festival. then we went hunting for "crawdaddys". and i dont know what you look like, so you just looked like Jerry Garcia, and i referred to you as Badmoon.

[lukehkd]

styx rules, everyone i ever talk to says they suck, i just wondered why. they all hate the **** yankees too, whats up with that

[thickasabrick]

what decade(s) were Styx from, where they seventies or eighties? i really know nothing about them.

edit- and if by Yankees, you mean the baseball team, than i can't answer that question. i only know classic rock and other music related things.

[Kingadamx]

The Dead are touring still, but they aren't making albums anymore. Warren Haynes has replaced Garcia. They still can put on a great show.

[Badmoon]

are The Dead still making albums, or touring or anything?

The Dead? Yes. The Grateful Dead? No.

they were in the late seventies i know, the grand illusion rocks

[Kingadamx]

Mostly late 70s and 80s I believe. I really dislike Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, and other bands similar to them. Except for the "I'm Sailing Away" song. I can still appreciate that.

[thickasabrick]

So let me get this straight, The Dead is the newer name for the Grateful Dead? Like how The Jefferson Starship became The Starship?

Or is The Dead a totally unrelated band, and you are just making me look stupid in front of everyone else?

[Jam2Me]

The Dead was on the Wave that Flag tour this summer, came to my area but I couldn't go...parents wouldn't let me for obvious reason :( lol

[thickasabrick]

i dont mind some of Foreigners stuff. they had some really catchy songs, and a good singer. they were almost on the verge of being a pop act in some of their songs, but i think they were good.

[Badmoon]

So let me get this straight, The Dead is the newer name for the Grateful Dead? Like how The Jefferson Starship became The Starship?

oh ok, so do they actually tour, or just do festivals? like is there any chance of them coming within a couple thousand miles of me?

edit- and im just wondering, the guitar player, jimmy herrring, is there actually 3 r's in his name, or is that a typo?

They tour, and may release an album. Most bands do.

And no, there's 2 R's.

Yea my friend got to go to that. He did some LSD and some guy named Papa Bear was feeding them all pancakes.

[thickasabrick]

oh nice, i'd wanna hear their newer stuff.

i'm trying to convince this girl i sometimes play with to learn Friend of the Devil, so we can play it at an upcoming show, but she's very reluctant.

[RockAndRoll]

oh nice, i'd wanna hear their newer stuff.

They have no newer stuff, yet.

[Woodstock]

Actually, he was probably lying on the ground unconcsious the whole time.

That can happen on LSD.

[wanton]

What's everyone's views on Dire Straits? They were sorta 80s popish but they had some nice songs that were very catchy.

[thickasabrick]

Dire Straits, i haven't heard much, but Mark Knopfler is a great guitarist.

and we aren't playing Friend of the Devil. We are playing Let it Be instead, which is stupid because we have three guitarists, so now i've gotta find a way to fit them all into the song creatively. And apparently Hotel California isn't cool enough for her. I'm in a big mood right now.

edit- **** i mean bad mood. this sucks. i cant even type.

[Badmoon]

And how would you play "Friend of the Devil" with three guitarists?

[thickasabrick]

It would be a lot better sounding than Let it Be, i can tell you that much. I'm just sick of this girl wanting to play crappy pop songs with one guitar part, and then asking me to fancy it up for three different guitars.

edit- i can hear two guitars very distinctly in Friend of the Devil, and a mandolin. Someone could just play chords, or someone could play the mandolin part, it would be easy.

[Against Miik!]

And apparently Hotel California isn't cool enough for her. I'm in a big mood right now.




:confused:

[thickasabrick]

:smash:

haha i wish. she wants to play this song called Soco Amaretto Lime by Brand New. anyone heard it? it has one extremely lame three chord guitar part, and horrible off key whiny lyrics. i dont even think it has bass.

edit- and she also shot down my suggestion of Simple Man by Skynyrd.

[Rasta Rocker]

pussay whipped

[Illmatic]

Three guitarists?

That's overkill...

[thickasabrick]

that's not overkill. of course, we really could do it with just two, but we would feel bad if we had to cut someone out.

Hotel California has eight different guitar parts, so basically, three isn't "overkill," it's underkill.

edit- usually what we do, is take a simple song, like Let It Be, and think of a good fingerpicked pattern, and then usually a dual guitar solo. it's actually pretty fun, having another person to solo with, you can do interesting things.

[HybridOrigin7]

The Eagles only have 3 guitarists, so it's not really possible to have 8 parts, unless you meant that the parts we're playing at different times throughout the song.

[Illmatic]

That would make sense.

EDIT: To thick as a brick. And the poster above me, I guess

[thickasabrick]

The Eagles only have 3 guitarists, so it's not really possible to have 8 parts, unless you meant that the parts we're playing at different times throughout the song.

well they can (and did) lay down eight different guitar tracks in the studio. of course, if you have heard it live, they usually play it much different anyways. if you go to mxtabs, and look through the tabs for it, you will find some chord charts, the live version and the studio version. the studio version has eight different parts.

its easy to play with three, and doesnt sound bad with two. all you really need is an acoustic and an electric.

[Groove Man Stan]

My favorite band is Rush. Not many people my age (14) like them, but I think they are one of the most talented groups of people ever.

[thickasabrick]

Rush is pretty amazing. Great musicians and songwriters. I've got a couple of their albums, although i usually just listen to their songs on the computer. Definitely one of the greatest trio's of all time.

not to mention being from canada, gotta give them extra points for being hosers.

Hosers? What do you mean by that? I usually accociate that word with ripping off a genre.

[Badmoon]

Do you mean Hoisers. Cause that's people from Indiana. Incase you did mean that.

No. Its two different eras but who knows.

[Schyma]

I haven't herad alot of Rush to judge but so far I have herad a few songs off Moving Pictures and wasn't impressed but got this 60's tribute by them and it was pretty good.

[Distant Echoes]

Moving Pictures is my Favorite album by rush...I thought it was great. Didnt expect much when i picked it up of a CVS clearence rack though, but it was good.

I got Vapor Trails the other day, and i was still impressed, even for an album released in 2002. Most bands suck after almost 30 years, if they can even exsist that long. Rush is the top selling band in albums (i read), and the only that survived for this long without regrouping or breaking apart, and yet hasnt been on the cover of Rolling Stones once.

I wouldnt want to either, I hate that ****ing magazine

[Kingadamx]

I'm sorry but Rush is just one band that I absolutely cannot stand. I can respect the talent of Neil Peart, but that's about it.

[Schyma]

I just got Bob Dylan Live 1966 (Bootleg Seris Vol. 4) with a free Chronicles sampler (features 6 songs and 2 unreleased tracks). :)

Yea, I really like that one it's got some cool covers on it. You should check out 2112 and Fly by Night, I think they're Rush's best.

Yesterday I was locked out of mx. :angry: It was slow all the time.

I like some rush, neil's drum solo's are good, but ALot of their stuff I'm not really interested in, alot prbaby has to do with geddy's voice.

[Broken Arrow]

That's understandable.

Yep I tried learning YYZ the other day. Way out of my league :upset:

Yea, I was just trying to play it a little bit ago. It's just played too damn fast.

Speaking of rush *pulls out the uber coolness card* guess who's dad was once the co-manager of rush :cool: and guess who's friend's uncle (or possibly mother's cousin, can't remember) is Niel Peart? :cool:

That's right biatches.

How can you say you don't lke them if you've never heard them?

[magicbus]

How can you say you don't lke them if you've never heard them?

I just never had the urge to listen to their music. Probably based on this little **** in my Criminal Law class who likes them and Motley Crue, but calls John Lennon and Jim Morrison overrated. I figured if he said things like that, Rush probably sucked. Now I could be wrong, I didn't like Neil Young until I listened to it, but I don't really feel like trying Rush. I also respect Neil Pert's skills though.

[shortass]

Now I could be wrong
You are wrong

[Broken Arrow]

You should check them out...I didn't think I'd like them before I heard them, but I got sent some songs by them, and although they're not one of my favourite bands, I listen to them quite a lot. Obviously Neil Peart's incredible, but, once you get used to the vocals, you really start appreciating all of the music a lot more.
Why Med57?

Anyways yeah.

[RNR]

I really like them...Mark Knopfler's a good guitarist, and plays with a whole load of feel and tone as well. If you've got the Live Aid DVD (like me :D), then check out their performance on it. They do Money For Nothing with Sting, and they go very well together.

I have that DVD. Mark looked badass with that bandana. He also sounded badass. ;)


Rush is a good band that I need to get into more ;).

Hehe, so it's not the Grateful Dead with Jerry? That makes sense, methinks.

The more guitarists, the less mistakes that will be made. I don't think anyone needs more than 3 though.

/all caught up

[jpj]

I have the Live Aid DVD too, but I still haven't watched discs 3 and 4. Dire Straits was pretty cool on it, so was Queen.

[shortass]

My step dad got that for christmas so I will borrow it tomorrow. Is its any good?

[Jam2Me]

I didn't have time to learn all the strings on a guitar so I went with bass, and I heard it is easier to use if you're a vocalist

And I don't like Neil Young, you guys are crazy about him...I need some songs that will really get me into him. And Rush, I'm not into them and I own 2112 and didn't like it :\ not my style.

[RNR]

Does anyone have Eric Clapton's new album "Me And mr. Johnson. It's like a tribute to Robert Johnson who obviously influenced Eric a lot.

It's quite good, methinks.

Naw for me it was AC/DC-Zeppelin-Neil-Floyd-Beatles-etc.

[Woodstock]

I dont like Rush at all, they're part of my trifector of evil. Rush, Foreigner and Styx.

Neil Peart gets my respect, but Geddy Lee sounds like a horny ghost.

[thickasabrick]

usually for me, i either love a band/artist and am crazy about them..or i hate them.

rush is probably one of the few bands that are in between for me.

does anyone else listen to music in the shower? today i listened to Down By The River (from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere). Usually I listen to Hendrix in the shower. It makes for some great naked air guitar.

[RockAndRoll]

Does anyone have Eric Clapton's new album "Me And mr. Johnson. It's like a tribute to Robert Johnson who obviously influenced Eric a lot.

indeed, very good. Haven't listened to it in a while though.

Say are there any vocalists in here?

[thickasabrick]

Say are there any vocalists in here?

I sing in a choir, and go in the school musicals, probably gonna go in vocal jazz this year. But I'm not any sort of Freddy Mercury type singer, more like Bob Dylan actually. I like to play my acoustic guitar and sing, not so much my electric.

[RockAndRoll]

I'm not amazing or anything, but I sing for my band occasionally.
Do you sing because you couldn't find a vocalist and the guys figured it was better than nothing, or do you actually sing? (sorry if that seems insulting, it's not meant to be in the slightest)

[RNR]

/not insulting you

Just crap from pages ago that I was commenting on. Somebody said something about The grateful dead just being called The Dead now and such. I was wondering if that's because it's not the real thing without Jerry?

[Badmoon]

The guitarists they have are extremely good. You all of course know Warren is talented, but I doubt you know how incredible Jimmy Herring actually is.

Just listen to Jazz is Dead, he's amazing.

[Seafroggys]

the band i was first in to was Pink Floyd then i got into led zep and the who and then the beatles. did it happen like this to anyone else?

For me it was The Beatles - Iron Butterfly - Jimi Hendrix - Blue Oyster Cult - Black Sabbath - Deep Purple - Jethro Tull - The Who

Weird journey I took there.

[jpj]

I downloaded a Jazz is Dead song, and it is ****ing awesome. I want more.

[BillCosby]

Do you sing because you couldn't find a vocalist and the guys figured it was better than nothing, or do you actually sing? (sorry if that seems insulting, it's not meant to be in the slightest)

Me and the guitarist both sing, as in he sings some songs, and I sing some, etc. We wanted a separate vocalist just to give us more flexibility (so we're not limited to only what we can play while singing), but we kinda gave up on that. We actually had a vocalist (who wasn't very good), but we kicked him out because we sang better.

[Badmoon]

I downloaded a Jazz is Dead song, and it is ****ing awesome. I want more.

And the coolest thing about Jazz is Dead is that they remake Grateful Dead songs. They are each highly respected Jazz, Jam Band and Fusion artists. I really like that they have to highly respected Jazz artists who play songs by a band that played a small role in their careers and known genres.

Jimmy Herring - Aquarium Rescue Unit, Allmans, The Dead.
Billy Cobham - Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bob Weir & The Midnites, ect...
Alphonso Johnson - Weather Report, Bob Weir & The Midnites, Santana
T. Lavitz - Dixie Dregs
Jeff Morgenstien - Dixie Dregs
Jeff Stipe - Aquarium Rescue Unit

Kick ***.

Or umm, like soft rock.

[thickasabrick]

so he can't be discussed in here?

i've never heard him before, but i have some of his records laying around, and my mom talks about him a lot. so im curious.

[RockAndRoll]

He could probably be discussed in here, that being said I've never really listened to him and have no real interest in him so count me out.

[thickasabrick]

so if anyone comes back, i would like someone to give me some info on neil diamond. i went to a site about him, and he sounds like something i would be interested in.

[Badmoon]

Ahhh, errr, popish.

[thickasabrick]

Ahhh, errr, popish.

is that directed towards Neil Diamond?

do you mean popish like The Beatles, or popish like Britney Spears?

is there a better part of the forum i could stick this in?

Well, I don't like him. Just take it as that.

[thickasabrick]

Well, I don't like him. Just take it as that.

Fair enough. Is there anyone around here that likes him?

I'm kinda standing on the fence here, because I always assumed he was like lame and fake and stuff, but then I've heard good stuff about him. So now I'm curious. I've heard that song Sweet Caroline...are his other songs better or worse than that? I found it enjoyable, but nothing too amazing.

[Hardest_Rocker]

Just preview some of his stuff at Amazon. If you like what you hear from the 30 second clip, use Kazaa to download the whole song. If you still like what you hear, use BitTorrent to get the whole album. If you listen to it and love it, go buy it. Thats how I do it :thumb:

I don't do things that way, as stupid as that may sound...but i suppose it is the only way to go at this point in time. I prefer to know something about the artist before i hear them.

Hey Badmoon, what makes Limewire so good?

[Badmoon]

I haven't been sued, I don't get viruses, and there are generally no problems.

I like Limewire too, I just like Soulseek better for the fact that you can download entire folders at once. But Soulseek doesn't work for me anyways.

[RockAndRoll]

*still has a crappy version of kazaa that doesn't work* :(

[thickasabrick]

the problem with limewire is it's becoming too popular. once a music sharing dealy gets too popular, it starts getting attacked by the courts, and virus's also swarm in.
i've probably tried using just about every program there is, and they are all awesome to start with, but once more people start using them they start to fall apart. that will happen with limewire soon enough...so stop telling other people to start using it! :)
