Classic Rock

[godigoy]

Shut up! all you losers can't even help a kid that is interested in good music.

[godigoy]

Bastards

[magicbus]

What The Band album should I get first? S/t or Music From The Big Pink?

I just got both for christmas, and I love both and would suggest getting both, at some point in time. BUT, if you can only get one, go with Music From The Big Pink. Its a great cd, with great songs, and it really makes you appreciate their music, which is great. And Richard Manuel's awesome singing voice.

I'm actually listening to S/T right now, but like I said, I think Music from the big pink would be the best choice for a first album by them. Its really up to you though, they're both very good.

[Broken Arrow]

No.
Bing Crosby to BillCosby:eek: Since When?

[Badmoon]

He has pretty much always been BillCosby.

[RNR]

Shut up! all you losers can't even help a kid that is interested in good music.

Oh fine. The Who- Won't Get Fooled Again. Lynyrd Skynrd- Freebird and Stairway To Heaven are some "anthems" that I can think of. If you want some good songs just ask.

[Creedence Clearwater]

/returns from prolonged absence of watching my newest DVD purchase multipule times

....and Robbie Robertson is the coolest cat ever

[magicbus]

Yea he is! What dvd did you get?

[jpj]

/returns from prolonged absence of watching my newest DVD purchase multipule times

....and Robbie Robertson is the coolest cat ever
I personally think Warren Haynes is cooler, but Robbie is a close second.

[lunch998]

I personally think Warren Haynes is cooler, but Robbie is a close second.

Very debatable. I'd say Robbie.

[RNR]

Nooo, noo, Mark Knopfler is the coolest. No pick, a headband, super cool sounding. cmon!

Actually Warren Haynes and Robbie are cooler :(

[jpj]

There's just something about Warren, maybe it's his stunningly sexy body......

[RNR]

The stunning sexy body on his guitar, you mean?

[jpj]

The stunning sexy body on his guitar, you mean?
Oh yea of course.....

I think Warren may be avatar worthy, but we can't talk about that in here.

[Broken Arrow]

I'm not sure who the coolest cat ever is?

[lunch998]

Oh yea of course.....

I think Warren may be avatar worthy, but we can't talk about that in here.

Yea be careful or else Banned-boy will have a go at you.

[RNR]

^**** straight.

Neil Young is definitly up there.

:eek: we should do a "cool cats" award and make a list of the coolest rockers. Pictures included...

[Illmatic]

There are definately rock stars cooler than Neil Young.

[RNR]

There are definately rock stars cooler than Neil Young.

I demand names! :mad:


:upset:. You're right .

[Illmatic]

I demand names! :mad:

:upset:. You're right .

Damn right.

[Riva]

This guy is so cool! (http://photobucket.com/albums/v376/JasonTheSteve/?action=view&current=Mulletman.jpg)

Only joking, unless this is a comp for best mullet out of a rock star.

And can someone please explain how the entirety of Sgt. Pepper's is about drugs?

[thickasabrick]

What would be the classic rock anthems for the 60's 70's and 80's??

you mean like the top n00b picks of all time?

like Rock said...Stairway, Freebird, Wont Get Fooled Again, also: Satisfaction, Another Brick in the Wall, Hotel California, Back in Black.

not that they aren't good songs, they are usually just the only songs that noobs know, so maybe ask for some other ones first. you will earn more respect that way.

[Illmatic]

What exactly do you mean by anthem? Just, the most famous ones?

Also, "Positively 4th Street" by Bob Dylan is fantastic...what album is it on? Was it a b-side or something?

[RNR]

Anthems like a band's best known song that gets a ton o radio play and all of the noobs of the band consider it their favorite.

[thickasabrick]

hey does anyone know what Dylan wrote Positively 4th Street about?

Because in his book, he mentions Woodie Guthrie living (or was it the hospital he was staying in) on 4th Street. And later in the book Dylan said he was living on 4th street in an apartment.

And those are the only street numbers he ever gives, even though he talks about specific locations a lot. Does he just like that number?

[Illmatic]

So I see.

[Riva]

Anthems like a band's best known song that gets a ton o radio play and all of the noobs of the band consider it their favorite.

Good example: Q: What do you like better? Houses Of The Holy, or Kashmir?

A: Omgz! Starway to Heven ownZ all!!!!!!!oneeleven!11

However, sometimes, your favourite song can be a really noob favourite as well, e.g. Those who love "Comfortably Numb".

[BillCosby]

Bing Crosby to BillCosby:eek: Since When?

Who the **** is Bing Crosby?

[BillCosby]

"I grow sick of you!!!"


Sign reps please. :p

[Seafroggys]

Imagine is another killer rock anthem......as well as Layla.

[thickasabrick]

Bing Crosby is awesome.

and everyone rep Badmoon for showing me that awesome site. I learned that song Badmoon, except I learned the second version, it seemed more interesting. I already knew a lot of the songs on there, although there were some minor differences. Great site though, I love how you can set the tempo and play along and stuff.

[Schyma]

Anyone have any (official) Bob Dylan bootlegs?

I have 4 I want 5 and 6 just wanted to know if they are any good.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Imagine is another killer rock anthem......as well as Layla.

I agree :thumb:

And can someone please explain how the entirety of Sgt. Pepper's is about drugs?


Sorry to double post but I just saw this. Where did you hear that? ^ I don't think Seargent Pepper's was about drugs, just influenced by them. Not completely sure though.

[Broken Arrow]

Well some people ake this into account

Lucy (in)

I say thats is kinda streching it.

[jpj]

OMG LSD!!! :eek:

Yea, I think it's a crock of ****.

Ever since JPJ discovered how to pass the swear filter he try's to swear as much as he can.:lol:

[jpj]

What the **** are you talking about you ****ing weirdo?

But anyways I watched Neil on Live Aid yesterday, and The Needle and The Damage done was the ****ing **** as always, but I didn't care for the second song it was kinda shitty.

[Foustian]

Yes, this is indeed true, Bonzo. I am 17 and I went to a cover band show at Hard Rock Live, they were paying homage to Led Zeppelin IV and Dark Side of the Moon a night earlier. When I went there, the number of teenagers to older people was at least a 2:1 ratio. It was funny, because most of the people I saw at the show had made fun of my musical tastes prior.

[Broken Arrow]

What the **** are you talking about you ****ing weirdo?

Well.....what song was it?

Agreed, That's a great song but I don't know why they put the other one on. He did quite a few songs...

[Riva]

Ever since JPJ discovered how to pass the swear filter he try's to swear as much as he can.:lol:

I like my way of bypassing the ****ing swear filter better. :)

Well, Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite is pretty dafont=]m[/font]n tripped out. I couldn't put much stock in it myself, but yeah.

[magicbus]

Does anybody else have the Crossroads dvd? I really like the first Joe Walsh song, Funk 49. And Clapton's other guitarist (forget his name, does his own song one time) has a very cool solo on the Blues in C song at the end of the second disc. I didn't watch the whole song, but I know he does a very good solo. And Steve Vai fails to impress on this one I think. He just kept playing the same dumb riff over and over again, and it wasn't very musical at all.

[jpj]

The secong Neil Young song is Nothing is Perfect (In God's Perfect Plan).

[Woodstock]

I saw that on PBS a few weeks ago, it was great. Joe Walsh is so crazy on stage, and if you watched John Mayer perform, you'd see how talented he really is.

[jpj]

What the hell?!?! Why do I always miss these things on PBS? :upset:

[Woodstock]

What the hell?!?! Why do I always miss these things on PBS.
I was as surprised as you. It was on after Antique Roadshow, I guess senior citizens just need to rock out after watching other senior citizens have their old quilts priced.

[jpj]

There was a Phish and Grateful Dead thing too. The last thing I saw on PBS was an all-star disco concert.

[guitrguy]

Mayer can kill some blues.

[Woodstock]

Mayer can kill some blues.
I was amazed on his skill. He wasn't using any picks either.

[guitrguy]

I was amazed on his skill. He wasn't using any picks either.
Did you see him when he was on the Chappelle show. He did a great job.

[Woodstock]

Did you see him when he was on the Chappelle show. He did a great job.
Yeah :lol: He was playing behind his back and all. I had a completely changed opinion on him.

[Badmoon]

Just got myself...

George Harrison - Cloud Nine

Bela Fleck - Tales from The Acoustic Planet: Volume 2

[RNR]

Nice. That's one of George Harrison's best albums, or so i've heard :).

[Woodstock]

No, Cloud Nine is a pretty bad album. It has that horrible song, Got My Mind Set On You. (shivers)

[RNR]

Really? I was going to buy it but maybe now I wont. I'll have ti hear some of it though.

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't heard Cloud Nine, but I was under the impression it was good. Anything by Bela Fleck gets the thumbs up from me, though.

[Badmoon]

No, Cloud Nine is a pretty bad album. It has that horrible song, Got My Mind Set On You. (shivers)

I like Cloud Nine, and hat song :angry:

[Woodstock]

I like Cloud Nine, and hat song :angry:
Wow, you really think it's good?

[Simple Man]

Really? I was going to buy it but maybe now I wont. I'll have ti hear some of it though.


Haha, you already have stars.

Theres R&M for ya.

[Badmoon]

Wow, you really think it's good?

Yeah, the production on the album is great and there are some catchy songs. As for the song, it builds up nicely and has a nice melody.

[ooba doooba]

hello

[Simple Man]

Hi.

[slowhand]

Wow, there are two people with George Harrison avatars. I'm impressed.

[guitrguy]

Make it three.

[magicbus]

Yea I told you guys that John Mayer was sweet. I really wish he'd come out with an album where he plays like that, not his radio stuff. He's awesome.

[guitrguy]

Yea I told you guys that John Mayer was sweet. I really wish he'd come out with an album where he plays like that, not his radio stuff. He's awesome.
If he went straight up blues, I would buy an album.

[magicbus]

Same here.

[Badmoon]

He annoys/bores me.

[danur1]

can some1 plz tab the 1st guitar part 2 'when the levee breaks plz thnx

[Illmatic]

John Mayer makes Dave Matthews look cool. And that's ****ing saying something.

[Johnny B. Good]

John Mayer likes SRV and is on talking about it on SRV's DVD

[Illmatic]

And?

[RNR]

I think he's very talented :). I saw him on the Mike Bullard show (yes, summer time tv suxz0rz), his finger picking was very impressive.

[Nowhereman 65]

Wow, you really think it's good?

Cloud Nine Isn't Horrible It's Pretty Bad of Course I Preffer ATMP but I Also
like his self-titled album.

[BillCosby]

Listen to Tom Waits, people.

He fits here, his first album was in 1973.

[thickasabrick]

I saw John Mayer player with Double Trouble, and Buddy Guy on Austin City Limits. This was right when he had that song "Your Body is a Wonderland" out..so I assumed he'd just be making a fool of himself, but he definitely held his own with the other blues greats.

edit- anyone see that movie Carny? It was on tonight...Robbie Robertson is in it, and he is one cool cat. :cool:

[onamazingjourney23]

hey i was wondering if anyone had the album stephen stills live and would be willing to trade or send it to me over aim. i have a very extensive classic rock collection if your intrested in trades

[jpj]

My dad gave me his classial guitar a long time ago, and I need a song to learn. Ideas?

[RockAndRoll]

classical gas.

[Woodstock]

I dont have a live album, but would you happen to have Super Session by Bloomfield-Kooper-Stills?

[onamazingjourney23]

nah sorry man im me on crazydiamondflyd and ill tell you what i have

[jpj]

classical gas.
An easy song. It doesn't have to be finger picked either, just an easy acoustic song.

[Schyma]

I started a 100 greatest guitarists thread. If your intersted click this link and nominate.

http://www.musicianforums.com/forum...20&page=1&pp=25

[slug4k]

does any one know who was the first person to record whisky in the jar? i think some one did it before thin lizzy but i dont really know!

[magicbus]

Couldnt' tell ya, and Schyma that link doesn't work for me.

[Schyma]

Then go to the guitar forums and find the 100 greatest guitarists thread.

*links never work for me*

[TodescHäschen]

I grew up with classic rock, it is by far the best music evar!

[Six Foot Revolver]

does any one know who was the first person to record whisky in the jar? i think some one did it before thin lizzy but i dont really know!
It was originally a old Irish country song I think

[Jam2Me]

Heh, I used to like Thin Lizzy a lot, I tihnk they're classified as Metal but they didn't seem too hard to me..I mainly liked them because they were Irish though lol. Cowboy Song was by far my favorite.

[RockAndRoll]

An easy song. It doesn't have to be finger picked either, just an easy acoustic song.
Haha, I have faith in you.

[ultimaterocker]

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



i think bands like Jet and Velvet revolver have taken classic rock to the new level

[Badmoon]

I tihnk they're classified as Metal but they didn't seem too hard to me

They are pretty far from Metal.

Listen to Tom Waits, people.

He fits here, his first album was in 1973.

I like him :).

[Against Miik!]

An easy song. It doesn't have to be finger picked either, just an easy acoustic song.

There are some tough parts if you ask me. And I don't know how you couldn't fingerpick that song. It would sound pretty bad.

[Schyma]

i think bands like Jet and Velvet revolver have taken classic rock to the new level

:angry: *a burning rage has just erupted* :angry:

That reminds me of how much I hate n00bs. :angry:

[DeusExMachina]

My dad gave me his classial guitar a long time ago, and I need a song to learn. Ideas?

Blackbird. And, not really a classic rock group, but Dee by Ozzy (or should I say Rhoads? Gah) is ridiculously fun to play on a good classical guitar.

[DeusExMachina]

i think bands like Jet and Velvet revolver have taken classic rock to the new level

I think you don't know what you are talking about, and should kill yourself now because nothing you do with your life will be worthwhile. I'd be angry, but I can't help shake the feeling that you're kidding. There's no way you can be serious. Please tell me you're kidding.

Edit: I am miik is right, I apologize for the post. The Jet and VR comment just seemed a bit absurd. But in that vein of music, Zeppelin, ZZ Top, AC/DC, and many other bands trump Jet and VR by far.

O.k. first off, telling somebody to kill themseleves is not cool. ASecondly, he's not dumb, just ignorant, as most forum noobs are. Just point him toward some real classic rock.

[RNR]

Take classic rock to a new level? :lol:

*VR are not classic rock.

[Illmatic]

Velvet Revolver and Jet are both ****ing horrible.

[RNR]

Hi, me.

And yes, Jet is the suck and is not classic rock.

[onamazingjourney23]

i know this should be in the trading albums over aim thread but i think it would be better suited in here i was wondering if anyone had bad companys first album and would be willing to send it to me over aim i have an extensive classic rock collection if looking to trade

[ooba dooba]

[guitrguy]

Finally someone just straight lays it up.
Everyone ****ing says it.

I don't have it, sorry.

[magicbus]

Man I just jammed along with every song on the Crossroads dvd, and I really want to get into some of that music now. Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Joe Walsh, just to name a few. Man blues rocks. I think I'll be playing some blues songs for the talent show in may.

[Woodstock]

For the Joe Walsh, get James Gang-Rides Again. It has Funk #49, and it is probably his best album. He did have a few solo career hits, Rocky Mountain Way, Turn To Stone.

[Badmoon]

Well, that whole thing was stupid.


Looks like the Grateful Dead will be getting the wildcard :).


For the Joe Walsh, get James Gang-Rides Again.

Nice choice.

[Illmatic]

Funk #49 is a killer song.

[wanton]

Man ... someone needs to review CSN's first album. :o

[Woodstock]

Funk #49 is a killer song.
Too bad Funk #48 doesn't quite measure up.

[Woodstock]

Man ... someone needs to review CSN's first album. :o
Go ahead, I know your aiming this towards me.

[guitrguy]

We got to watch some Bela Fleck today in music theory!

[wanton]

Go ahead, I know your aiming this towards me.

Eh ... don't know, just want someone to do it if they can. :(

[Badmoon]

Sweet :thumb:

I'll probably take a theory class next year.

[DeusExMachina]

Music theory is the best class I've ever taken, unless you count Orchestra as a class.

[guitrguy]

Sweet :thumb:

I'll probably take a theory class next year.
Its awesome, I was kinda scared cause I can't sight read, but she is gonna teach us that.

[Woodstock]

Its awesome, I was kinda scared cause I can't sight read, but she is gonna teach us that.
I can sight read pretty well, I really need to get into that class.

[guitrguy]

Its great for improve , you will learn aural theory, scales, keys, chord structures, and more.

[DeusExMachina]

If you take a theory class, make sure not to slack off at all. If you slack, it's useless, but if you really work hard and try to get ahead, it can make you a much better musician. Like, before I took that class, I couldn't match pitch to save my life, and now I'm working on developing perfect pitch. Still a long way off, but it helped so much it's unbelievable.

[jpj]

I must take that class, but with my luck the school got rid of it due to lack of funds. It sucks being in a poor county :(

[RockAndRoll]

I think they need more music classes available at the highschool level not just your regular "vocal" and "instrumental"(of course I'm dreaming now, they don't have the funds)

[Badmoon]

I must take that class, but with my luck the school got rid of it due to lack of funds. It sucks being in a poor county :(

Canada?

[jpj]

Canada?
No, WV :(

****ing hick state :upset:

[magicbus]

Funk #49 is a killer song.

Dude that's one of the best songs on the dvd. Its rules so hard.

I won't be taking a theory class until next year. Not offered in high school.

[Badmoon]

I must take that class, but with my luck the school got rid of it due to lack of funds. It sucks being in a poor county :(

Wow Mark Knopfler is uber cool on Brothers at Arms.

[Sleeper]

Black Sabbath is the only classic rock i like.

[RNR]

Canada?

:p (ZING)


My school has many music courses. I think i'll take a theory course considering it's too late to try to learn a "band" instrument.

Yay for The Grateful Dead being a contender for the wild card. :D

:eek: What!?!??! :amaze:

[lunch998]

It's true. JPJ's dark secret. It doesn't matter anyway because Pearl Jam dominated.

[funk_rock_jazz_drummer]

heres my Question: Why is Classic Rock suddenly "In." It pains me to see some kid who just grew his hair out, wearing brand new converse, and a led zeppelin shirt or a Dark side of the moon shirt. Hmmm, im just ranting here... but c'mon agree with me.

For example: My neighbor, who is 14, is suddenly a raving lunatic when it comes to led zeppelin. Apparently his favorite album is, of course, Led Zeppelin IV. Guess what his favorite song is. Yup, you guessed it. The ironic thing is, not more than a year ago, his big thing was rap.

To give this a point, American Beauty is a great album.

[jpj]

It's true. JPJ's dark secret. It doesn't matter anyway because Pearl Jam dominated.
Yes, my dark secret which I tell everyone as soon as American Beauty is mentioned :evil:

The only song on there I can listen to without falling to sleep is Truckin'. Maybe it'll grow on me like Working Man's Dead did.

So I'm listening to Moondance on the site right now, and I really like it. Is it one of Van Morrison's better albums and is it a good one to start with?

[ooba doooba]

yeah thats right

[Woodstock]

I haven't listened to much Van Morrison, I should be getting Astral Weeks. I need Badmoon's opinion on it though.

[magicbus]

I also don't like American Beauty, only Truckin'. ALSO, I voted Aqualung.

[jpj]

I also don't like American Beauty, only Truckin'. ALSO, I voted Aqualung.
It's good to know I'm not the only one who's like that.

[RNR]

You guys suck, Box Of Rain, Sugar Mangolia, Friend Of The Devil, Ripple???

you guys deserve a banjo smiting by badmoon.

[thickasabrick]

My favourite Van Morrison album is Moondance, I only have a couple, and I'm not sure how many he put out..but that's the best one I have.

And how could anyone not vote for American Beauty? In spite of being an admitted Jethro Tull fanboy, I can still admit that American Beauty is way better than all those other albums up there.

[jpj]

I could easily not vote for it due to the fact that it puts me to sleep.

[ooba doooba]

you are a bad man then

[RNR]

you are a bad man then
I agree, but **** off.

[DeusExMachina]

Van Morrison is awesome. Astral Weeks is great, as is Moondance. Also, Tupelo Honey is a great album.

[thickasabrick]

I could easily not vote for it due to the fact that it puts me to sleep.

Dark Side of the Moon puts me to sleep, actually, I listen to it just about every night before I go to bed...but it's still my favourite album.

I always sleep during my favourite albums, it's the crappy ones that keep me awake. I'm not sure why though, I think good albums just put my brain and body at ease.

[ooba doooba]

I agree, but **** off.

no reason to be so mean little man

[thickasabrick]

hahahaha. that was funny...little man. that's good stuff.

But honestly, this isnt the thread for fighting. Rock doesn't like you Ooba, so you have two choices: leave this thread, or change the quality of your posts so maybe he might get mad at you.

[adam88]

the beatles' music always amazes me. i only wish i was around in the height of beatlemania

I always sleep during my favourite albums, it's the crappy ones that keep me awake. I'm not sure why though, I think good albums just put my brain and body at ease.
Then I guess a better way to put it is that I find it to be boring as hell and I can't stand to listen to it. Why would I vote for it when there's Aqualung, an album which I love more and more every time I listen to it.

[ooba doooba]

i have as much right to be here as he does.

[magicbus]

Music doesn't put me to sleep anymore. It sucks cause I always listen to music when I go to bed, and then I wake up and its still on, so I turn it off. But I always fall asleep when watching music dvds. Go figure.

And I've listened to American Beauty a few times. It just didn't interest me. Very quiet, wasn't feelin it.

[RNR]

i have as much right to be here as he does.

Not when your posts average 5 words and have absolutely nothing to do with music.

[ooba doooba]

just a minute ago I simply said that I enjoyed American Beauty very well and then you tell me to **** off. Now, it seems to me that right there you were the one that tried to start the fight with me.

that's a much better reason than your other one. I actually could have gone both ways between American Beauty and Aqualung, but I figured American Beauty has a better chance of beating out all those other albums that Aqualung does, so i went with it...power in numbers you know.

Yes ,I did start the fight. All you do in this thread is spam and make useless posts. This is one of the few threads on mx that is relativly spam free.

I ask you, are these really contributing?

JPJ, it's a shame you don't feel that way about American Beauty. But that's a good reason.

[thickasabrick]

ooba dooba, it's because your posts are very short, random, and off topic. i'm not saying you don't have a right to be here, i'm just saying maybe you could go for quality, not quantity of posts..it isn't a race to see who can get more post count faster.

i have nothing against you personally, but Rock is good at spotting out useless spammy posts, and most of your posts are borderlining.


edit- and Rock, your links arent working for me...you might wanna check them again.

[Badmoon]

voted for American Beauty...it's not brilliant, although I like it quite a lot, but I didn't really think the other options were all that great either. :-/

I disagree. If you ask me, American Beauty is an absolute masterpiece. Each song fabulous and different, and no disapointments. IMO

Well, I just bought...

Jazz is Dead - Lauging Water (Wake of the Floor tribute)
Jerry Garcia - Cat Under the Stars

[thekolonel]

I'm only 14 but the classic rock bands that i like are:
ac/dc
Jimi Hendrix
CCR
BTO
The Who
Led Zeplin
Van Halen
The Doors
Sultants Of Swing
Guns N Roses
Sammy Hagar
Elton John
Meat Loaf
Robert Plant
Neil Young And Crazy Horse
Cream
Stevie Knicks
Bob Seger

And to the guy who thought that the darkness were the only ones bringing classic rock back there is jet although i do like the darkness better, and i noticed that a lot of classic rock t-shirts are being sold in stupid stores like bluenotes and stitches so most of the kids that buy them dont even know anything about the bands so when you ask them questions about their shirts they look like morons.

[thickasabrick]

nice bands there Thekolonel, I'm not really a fan of Sammy Hagar though.

I'm just wondering, when you say Stevie Nicks, and Robert Plant..do you mean their solo careers? Or the bands they were in?

And Badmoon is right...although there were some great albums on that list, none were on the same level as American Beauty. It's much more grand.

[Jam2Me]

I would've thought you all voted for American Beauty, that's like one of their most popular albums because of all the hits on it. I like all the songs on it too, that is a masterpiece, one of my top tenners.

That was quasi-tough for me though I like that Pearl Jam one, nowhere near as good as American Beauty though. :amaze:

[BillCosby]

Sultants Of Swing

Is that an actual band?

Maybe he means the Dire Straits?

[thickasabrick]

Is that an actual band?

hmm.. i didn't even catch that one. :lol:

most likely Dire Straits.

[guitrguy]

George Harrison keeps alluding me, I can't ever find All Things Must Pass, and my parents can't find it for me either.

[thickasabrick]

George Harrison...like a movie/book/album or something? Or do you have a cat named George Harrison that you lost?

(I'm assuming you aren't talking about the George Harrison)


edit- i stand corrected.

[Badmoon]

I didn't vote for such Dead albums as Built to Last or anything slightly unlike because I knew they wouldn't get voted in.

BTW

[RNR]

My parents have a good deal of Harrison stuff and I listen to it.

They were around when it was new though ;)

[Jam2Me]

Yeah Workingman's Dead and American beauty probably had the best shot, maybe Shakedown Street too, I'm not sure which ones made it in I think the first two I mentioned did though.

I'm guessing some Led Zep or some heavy metal boohlah will win this thing though.

EDIT: What's your avatar of?

[Badmoon]

I believe I voted for Shakedown Street, because other than it being a tremendous album, Livewired JPJ and others here like it (I believe).

[RNR]

By the looks of it, Pink Floyd- The Wall will take it. Metallica- Master Of Puppets won the 100 greatest albums of the last 2 years poll and pink floyd's kicking its ***.

[Badmoon]

EDIT: What's your avatar of?

Me?

Well, mine is a small section of a piece of art capturing a moment in the early Testament. That man running is Samson from the story of Samson, Delilah and the Philistines. With God's permission, he had just trashed a whole building housing Philistines.

If that does not seem interesting listen to...

Grateful Dead - Samson & Delilah

Which has the line, "If I had my way, I would tear this old building down!".

Badmoon, that is a very awesome picture. I knew it was Samson, but I hadn't seen that full picture before. I like it!

[jpj]

Yea, Shakedown Street was actually the first Dead album I liked.

Fire on the Mountain=teh awesomeness :thumb:

[thickasabrick]

does anyone here think Ace Frehley is an amazing guitarist?

i got yelled at by someone who claims he's a "Rock GOD" because I said he isn't that great. i just wanna know if most people think he's actually better i believe him to be.

[jpj]

I think he is one of the most over rated musicians of all time.

[RNR]

I don't know. He's very good but not amazing or a rock god.

[Badmoon]

He actually has some skill.

[jpj]

He does have skill, but he's not as good as huge Kiss fans would have you belive.

[DeusExMachina]

He's alright, but in my mind, Kiss = overrated.

[magicbus]

I like Ace, but I'm not the biggest fan of Kiss.

[Andy Jiggles]

i love classic rock. it seems like everyone is going back to classic rock.

does anybody know billy squire?

[jpj]

The only Billy Squire song I've heard is The Stroke which I think is his best known song. I liked it, very catchy.

[Woodstock]

So, Astral Weeks or Moondance?

moondance, imo

Yeah, everybody's going back to Electrical Outputs, feminine colored name, and a heavy blimp, and that's it.

A lot of the recordings are not great, but some of them are pretty good IMO.

Isn't the first one Ac/Dc?

Hey, you're not to bad. I'm no drummer, but if you'd like an outside opinion, it wasn't so bad.

Meh I voted for Starnge Days....didn't matter.:(

EDIT- in the back of one f the pictures of seafroggys drums there is that Knex ball machine thingy.

/had to point that out

[lunch998]

I was just listening to Presence, and I just realized that is better than people give it credit for. It really is not bad, and Page really has some nice work on the album.

[RNR]

/achilies last stand

and there's some other pretty good songs on there.

:eek:. Talking about Led Zeppelin in this thread. I'm very angry at you and now myself because i'm talking about them.

[lunch998]

Yea but we never talk about Presence. Aside from the fact the Achilles is a song that has the power to make a whole album good, the other songs are worth listening to. For Your Life, Royal Orleans, Nobody's Fault But Mine, and Tea For One are all really good.

[Seafroggys]

Oh yes, btw, electrical outputs was AC/DC.....it was the first thin ghtat came to my mind, but I should have said wattage converter.

And that big ball factory in the background is a souped up one that my brother's been working on for like four years. Its about four times the volume and size of the original now.

[jpj]

Tonight I might be going to a laser show set to Rush music at The Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh, and it should be pretty cool. A few years ago I saw a Pink Floyd show like it, and it was crazy.

[lunch998]

That should be sweet. How far are you from Pitt?

[jpj]

Like 45 minutes, I go there a lot.

[lunch998]

They have that awesome drum store that I want to go to. Drum World or something.

[jpj]

I didn't know that. I have seen Condom World though, it's really close to the Roberto Clemente Bridge.

[lunch998]

All the more reason to go there.

[jpj]

It's kind of weird, I've just walked by and looked in the window. There were a bunch of old guys flipping through dirty magazines.

[lunch998]

That's going to be you one day. Maybe we should start talking about classic rock?

[jpj]

Maybe....um..........do you like Led Zeppelin?

[lunch998]

Maybe....um..........do you like Led Zeppelin?

Never heard of them.

[jpj]

I figured, they're pretty underground.

[lunch998]

Pass It On(Straight Ahead) on Jimi Live at Berkely is a great song. Actually that whole CD is awesome.

[jpj]

Yea, that is awesome. Have you heard Jimi Hendrix: Blues? It's definitely worth a listen.

[lunch998]

Only a few songs from it. I should probably get that soon.

[jpj]

I got it for Christmas, and every song is absolutely amazing.

[lunch998]

I'd probably like it since I really like Voodoo Chile.

My post count=coolest year in music.

[DeusExMachina]

What's on Hendrix: Blues?

[RNR]

Definitly.

On that DVD, his cover of Johnny B Good kicks *** :).

/feels stupid
Yeah, but like, does he perform blues standards, or his own songs, or unreleased material, or what?

[wanton]

/feels stupid

I'm guessing it's most of the blues songs he played during his career, covers or original ones.

[DeusExMachina]

Alright. Thanks.

[Badmoon]

I relistened to the Terrapin solo, Thickasabrick. Great picking and very unique, at least when talking about Garcia :thumb:

[thickasabrick]

so it was Garcia playing that solo? He's damn good.

and who the hell did you guys vote for in the albums poll? i found it very hard to choose, so i went with the Chili Peppers album.

[jpj]

/feels stupid

Most of them are covers, but they're some originals too.

I voted for RHCP.

[i like arab girls]

Classic rock is kick @$$

Phil Collins
The Doors
Eric Clapton
Steve Miller band
Trick Stickers
You get the point

[jpj]

:thumb: Steve Miller is awesome!

And I've never even heard of Trick Stickers.

[Jam2Me]

Eh, I'm a newbie to the whole album reviewing thing, can I just review the CD I want to or do I have to check with some higher authority first. (Yes I know not to review a CD that has already been reviewed :))

[RNR]

Naw. But check this http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139438 to make sure it hasen't been done before.

Model yours off of the hall of fame guys.

[Schyma]

I got some amazing deals today at my record store today.

Blues Traveler- four(3$)
Eric Clapton- Unplugged (6$)
Jeff Beck- Truth (7$)
Emerson, Lake and Palmer- Trilogy (7$)
Best of all Woodstock DVD. :)

[jpj]

Holy **** those are some nice deals! How much was the DVD?

[Schyma]

17$
I was debating Woodstock or Bob Dylan's 6th bootleg. Good choice?

[jpj]

I'd say definitely a good choice. $17 is a pretty good price too compared to what I've seen it as.

[theGirlwhoLived]

led zeppelin has always been my favorite band next to the chili peppers.
i love the who also, along with the grateful dead, another one of my favorites

Way to contribute to the conversation, noob.

Anyhow, Truth is a solid album. It's not as good as Blow by Blow, but it's good nonetheless.

[Jam2Me]

OK guys I got my first review up, check it out. If you don't have it already you should really buy it, it's a great CD.

[Schyma]

Wow I was way wrong about Clapton. Unplugged is awsome.

[Jam2Me]

What songs are on it (other then Layla)?

[magicbus]

Tears In Heaven, Hey Hey, Before You Accuse Me, Nobody Knows When You're Down And Out, Malted Milk, Walkin' Blues, and Runnin on Faith are the few I can remember. The whole cd is very good. I'd recommend it to anybody.

[Humor99]

San Francisco Bay is also on it.

Random note - anybody know what kind of guitar Robertson uses on The Last Waltz?

[RNR]

Looks like a fender strat. Atleast it did according to my failing memory.



Hehe, Ringo Starr is whoring stuff in infomercials again.
