Damn, I would kill for a CD by them. The site just aint doing it for me.

I haven't really heard much by Booker T. and the MG's. Except Green Onions of course, because everyone has heard it. Is all their stuff instrumental?

[bob marley28]

I've noticed kids only liking popular and well known Classic Rock bands, like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, ect...

They missout on some of the greatest lesser known Classic rock bands. Like The Byrds, or Buffalo Springfield, Big Brother and Holding Company, The Velvet Underground, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Van Morrison, ect. Most of those bands were pretty big in their day, but the kids these days aren't looking for those bands. Usually, they are looking for the heavier, or louder types, but that's only the kids I know.
its all about being popular these days... :rolleyes:...at least theres any classic rock at all... :)

[DeusExMachina]

I for one don't think the Classic Rock Fanboy-ness will last. I mean, the rap fanboy stuff didn't last, the pop-punk fanboy stuff didn't last. It's just a fad, and they'll move on.

Heh, I don't think it's popular enough where anyone who likes Classic Rock is cool. (I meant we can't be uncool if we weren't cool to begin with :p)

[Macdaddy]

this thread is to long to have any meaningful discussion now----can we start it again.

jefferson airplane are tops by the way do people consider them classic rock or acid rock stoners :)

[DeusExMachina]

Everyone at my school is either a heavy metal fanboy or an AC/DC fanboy. And I am considered uncool regardless of the fact that I listen to classic rock. Being a classic rock freak doesn't help matters much, though.

[lunch998]

If we start it again we will just pick up where we left off. Thread length has no impact on topics.

jefferson airplane was a great band, but that **** in the 80s with chick from jefferson was terrible, we built this city on rock and roll is easily the worst song ive ever heard...i think id rather listen to lil jon

I understand the first part, but what chick are you talking about?

[Johnny B. Good]

he's talking about Gracie Slick and she never sucks. but Jefferson's Starship (Jefferson's Airplane name in the late 70's and early 80's) wasn't as good as their earlier stuff except for the album Freedom At Point Zero

[guitrguy]

How did Jim Morrison die?

[Woodstock]

How did Jim Morrison die?
A. Drug overdose
B. Alien abduction
C. Sexual exhaustion

Those are the ways to go out.

So is they way the movie showed Morrison's death accurate?

[DeusExMachina]

Woodstock and JPJ (if it is JPJ) confuse the hell out of me. And rock not roll (if it is rock not roll.)

I downloaded some of their songs, and they're spectacular. I really wanted to get that CD today but I was moneyless.

[Illmatic]

I honestly think Val Kilmer deserved serious Oscar consideration for his performance in that movie. How many actors could pull off being Jim Morrison?

I saw that movie awhile back, but didn't want to buy it without knowing a thing about it. Is it good?

Meh, I'm pretty quiet about my classic rockishness, but if someone asks or if someone disses some awesome band, I get fired up. In my production period (I'm the assistant in the copy room), i tune the radio to the classic rock station, and when its an oldies style song on I get 'soft' teachers who say "Oh you listen to oldies, thats good." Egh.....

Naw, everyone at my school is country, hip-hop, or crappy nu/death-metal. Mostly the former two.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, I got brownie points from my chem teacher for liking Elvis Costello. Speaking of which, no one talks about Elvis Costello in here. What are opinions of him?

[Badmoon]

I don't care for Elvis Costello.

[Johnny B. Good]

he's okay Allison is a good song

[Illmatic]

Elvis Costello is okay.

[another guy]

i dont like elvis costello, really. he is treated like a classic by everyone who talks about him, but i dunno, he just doesnt do it for me

Update: Wake of the Flood is a perfect album. Listen to it strait through and then tell me it's not.

maybe its because your a loser with no social skills? listened to a type of music doesnt make you cool but being smelly makes you uncool.

think about that

[Woodstock]

I honestly haven't heard much from Costello. Although, Allison was a pretty good song.

[DeusExMachina]

maybe its because your a loser with no social skills? listened to a type of music doesnt make you cool but being smelly makes you uncool.

think about that

Friendly today, are we? Hate to sound cliche, but I'm not popular because I don't follow a norm, and have weird interests, not because I'm a "loser with no social skills" or am "smelly." When I lived in Seattle, I was popular enough, but now I live in a suburban area where everyone is rich and white, and spends hundreds of dollars on clothing. Hence, me not fitting in. And if to be popular I need to completely change who I am, and start shopping all the time and acting like a moron from the OC, then I don't want to be popular. I'm not quite sure why you made that comment, but I talked about "not being popular" because that was sort of the topic of discussion at the time, classic rock not being popular. I wan't complaining, I'm perfectly happy with my situation, so lay off a bit, ok?

[DeusExMachina]

I honestly haven't heard much from Costello. Although, Allison was a pretty good song.

If you're interested in hearing his stuff, get My Aim is True. Great album.

[Schyma]

I will. I liked Wake of the Flood but thats crazy to call it "perfect" nothings perfect.

Nothing "perfect" infact I like it less now that listin to it again.

Can someone send me In the Court of the Crimson King?

I already asked for it in the Abum trading thread, but I'm very desperate.

[magicbus]

I don't have that one on computer, sorry dewdz.

And yea I think Morrison's death is pretty accurate on the movie. Drinking all the time, his heart probably stopped or something.

Artist's to research list:

Buddy Guy
Robert Cray
Eric Johnson
Jimmie Vaughn
SRV
JJ Cale.

Basically I need to get albums by them. My dad already has like every SRV and Double Trouble cd ever, but I personally don't own any. So any recommendations or comments would be nice. And I blew some minds yesterday with my playing. Can't wait till talent show in May.

Yea that would be sweet. And Happy Birthday to Jimmy Page!

[Illmatic]

It's not possible for a person to be perfect, but music and movies can be perfect.

[DeusExMachina]

I think there's always room for anything to improve.

[Illmatic]

Seriously?

When you watch a movie or listen to a song and can't think of any way to improve it, it's perfect.

[magicbus]

Or you're just uncreative.

[Woodstock]

In the Court of the Crimson King>Me

[DeusExMachina]

Seriously?

When you watch a movie or listen to a song and can't think of any way to improve it, it's perfect.

I disagree. Just because I can't come up with a way to improve it doesn't mean it can't be improved. Hendrix could write a great song, and I wouldn't be able to improve it, but then he would. There's always room for input. Perfect is way too subjective of a word.

[Broken Arrow]

I'm happy to see Mx won't be going down as much.w00t.

Have any of you heard Blind Faith's work. They were one of Clapton's short lived bands in the sixties. Their only album is great, I suggest checking it out.

[magicbus]

I'm familiar with them, Ginger Baker was also involved methinks, but I've never heard their work.

[RNR]

They were pretty good. They didn't last very long though and didn't get a lot ofpraise for their album.

[Broken Arrow]

I'd call Blind Faith a "pre supergroup".

[thickasabrick]

I'm happy to see Mx won't be going down as much.w00t.

I think that french herion killed Jim as he killed Janis Jolpin.

your last statement confuses me a little. i understand that by Jolpin you mean Joplin, but you think Jim Morrison killed Janis Joplin? Or you think that Jean's heroin killed them both? I dont think it was french heroin either, most likely chinese.

I think Jim died because he was probably the most unhealthy person in the world. He said he didn't believe in drinking any fluids other than alcohol with a meal (and we all know how much he drank), he started smoking a couple packs of cigarettes a day, did cocaine and heroin a lot near the end of his days.

He should have stuck with acid and pot...that's the Jim Morrison I know and love.

[magicbus]

Yea, the drinking every minute is what really made me lose a hero. I really looked up to the pot smoking, acid taking Jim Morrison.























:p

[Broken Arrow]

Woah.
What I meant was: I think is was the French Herion dealer who killed Jim.

Count Jean Bretuil or something like that.(I wasn't completely thinking straight earlier.;)

Check out heartbreaker on it it has a really good solo

[Jam2Me]

I think every great guitarist has done massive amounts of heroin. A lesson to be learned from that, if you wanna be good--DO HEROIN!

[guitrguy]

Did Page do it? Did Clapton? Did Beck? Harrison?

[Jam2Me]

Clapton, yes tons. Clapton probably got Harrison into since they were together all the time while Clapton was heavily into it. I dunno much about Page so.. Beck I dunno either.

[guitrguy]

Clapton always seemed like the good guy to me.

[DeusExMachina]

Check out heartbreaker on it it has a really good solo

I'm not a big fan of that solo. Way too sloppy for my taste. It's like prehistoric Malmsteen. Just fast, but not very musical.

[magicbus]

Yea Clapton had a bigass heroin addiction in the 70's. But now he's clean and better than ever.

Led Zeppelin II is very cool. Gives off a bluesy vibe to me. Probably my favorite Zeppelin, tied with III. Actually I like II better.

[Jam2Me]

Anyone know aobut Page? I dunno much about Zeppelin I just always assumed they were heavily into the rock star life of drugs, sex, alcohol, drugs, rinse and repeat.

[Woodstock]

Yes, Page was heavily into heroin during 75-80. This may explain why the albums from that time weren't up to par. Excluding Physical Graffiti.

Go talk about it on the Jethro Tull Thread
and that song is great along with Thick as a Brick

[thickasabrick]

Ya Page was heavily into heroin in the late seventies. Actually, when Bonzo died Page said it kinda snapped him out of his heroin addiction for a while..although not completely. I despise heroin with all of my heart.

And "My God" is Jethro Tulls best song. That flute solo is their best, his singing is great (plus the choir dealy), not to mention the whole concept of the song...it blows my mind.

[jpj]

I never really payed attention to that song. I always like day dream when it gets to that part of the album, but the emotion behind that solo is amazing. Personally I think it's better than any guitar solo I've ever heard.

[guitrguy]

Depends, really, on your taste in music. I know a friend who preffers Clapton's Tears in Heaven rather than anything from when he was with Cream.

I think he was better during his addiction years. Now, he's just a blues player, very B.B. King style...

[Nazman]

Dont forget Nazareth..Nazareth is often overlooked..But albums like Rampant, Hair of The Dog, Razamanaz were killer

[Illmatic]

That's what I've been trying to say...

[slowhand]

Hence unoriginal...

Not really. To be original often means to be unnacepted by the standard of the masses. Hence, you become and outsider. Today's generation are really a 'hardcore' generation, losing their innocence at a very early age (I've been insulted by 5 year old kids, when I was 5, I wouldn't even know how to insult my sister other than saying "You're ugly" or "Mom doesn't love you")

Now, this generation has grown up with a mellow Clapton, who never went metal, hip hop, or punk. He's just a pop merchant, like Steve Winwood and Paul McCartney, few of the survivors of the 60's music scene. They are not tough enough for the youth (the ones who the music industry depends on) and are overlook as old-timers who sing pop songs for their old folks (something that each generation tries to separate themselves from).

How many people out there do a cover album of Robert Johnson's songs? What about an album with B.B. King? Who appreciate the blues, as they were originally?

See, to call someone "unoriginal" just because of his lost of fame is just wrong. In fact, he is one of the few artists out there that can actually do what he wants without really blemishing his reputation as an artist.

Of course, if you think Clapton is 'unoriginal,' then so be it. Clapton will still be Clapton for me and it's better than a lot of the crap out there.

Whoa, I never meant Clapton was completely unoriginal. I love his work in Cream, Blind Faith and Derek & The Dominoes. I just find that some of his solo career and his current work are unoriginal. It just doesn't seem up to par compared to his previous material. And I never sayed I disliked the blues because they're not "hard or heavy" enough. I just don't find anything attention grabbing or interesting in itself. However, when the blues are mixed into rock, like Cream, I love it.

Amen. Every now and again he'll come out with a really really good blues song but then everything else is sounds like garbage. If he mixed his style of blues and rock together it would probably sound really good, that way he could have his blues that he loves so much and still be a kick@ss rock artist

[thickasabrick]

Some of you seem to forget that all Clapton ever wanted to do was to play the blues. The reason he went through so many bands is because he never liked when they started straying away from real blues, into more rock or mainstream stuff.

It was the same way with Hendrix actually, although I think both Hendrix and Clapton wrote way better rock/blues-rock songs than just straight blues songs.

I am a big fan of blues, but I prefer Claptons more rockish stuff.

[thickasabrick]

Actually wait, I would like to correct my last post, but I figured it would be better to make a new post than to edit my last one...

Hendrix did not want to just play blues, it was the opposite...i'm not sure why i said that...Hendrix wanted to expand to more than the blues and it was John Hammond Jr who wanted him to stick to blues. I was wrong in my earlier post.

Please kids. Blues is Clapton's main influence in any and all of his music, its only respectable of him to do covers of Robert Johnson's music, who was his biggest influence. I love the blues, and I think Clapton does it wonderfully. Just cause it doesn't "rock", doesn't mean it doesn't rock. I will always have respect for anything Clapton does, because you know he'll never do something crappy.

And I don't want to get off the topic of Clapton in all his greatness, but I listened to My God last night and it was really sweet. I really loved the flute solo.

Badmoon what's your favourite Grateful Dead song of all time?

[Badmoon]

Badmoon what's your favourite Grateful Dead song of all time?

Probably "Sugar Magnolia".

[thickasabrick]

I like Sugar Magnolia as well...I think you recommended it to me, i'm not sure though.

I like it best when they use harmony in the vocals.

[KingOfSka]

**** how long has this thread been going?

[magicbus]

Since March 16th.

[BIGdave7789]

Yep. Then again so is Good Charlotte :(. Some teenagers are more cool than others I guess.


I would be one of the teenagers that love classic rock.........ACDC, Led Zeppelin, the stones, jimi, bad company, the doors,
GOOD CHARLOTTE DOES SUCK!!

[Illmatic]

Any opinions on Mott the Hoople?

"All the Young Dudes" is a good tune, and I want to know if I should check them out further.

[KingOfSka]

sorry if anybody mentioned this before, but somebody is making a movie about Jimi Hendrix, and Jimi might be played by Andre 3000 from Outkast, but they cant get the rights for any Hendrix songs to be played in the movie

[Johnny B. Good]

If you like like Def Leppard you should like them, they're supposed to be very influential on Def Leppard

[Badmoon]

Any opinions on Mott the Hoople?

"All the Young Dudes" is a good tune, and I want to know if I should check them out further.

I like that song :). However, that is all I have heard.

[BillCosby]

and Jimi might be played by Andre 3000 from Outkast,


That would be awesome.

[Illmatic]

Well, glam rock was a big influence on hair metal overall, but the genres don't sound that much alike (compare T.Rex to Poison, for instance)

[Illmatic]

I think Dre could pull of a convincing Hendrix.

[Johnny B. Good]

bur Andre looks just like him except without the fro

[Badmoon]

:lol:

I'm more interested in the upcoming Johnny Cash movie. I think Joaquein Phoenix.

[RNR]

Probably "Sugar Magnolia".

:thumb:. That's one hell of a song.

He could easily grow one :). Man, he's a good singer, if there was a singing part, he could do that.

*Random*Jimi is a very underrated singer

[Johnny B. Good]

:thumb:. That's one hell of a song.

he is but people are probably to stunned by his guitar work to care about his voacals

[ATM]

What did you guys think of the Neil Young movie? My dad rented it last night.

[Creedence Clearwater]

Aaarhh, it the wrong time of the day and no one is there.


/

[Spectrum]

Yeah, Creedence, I hate it when I'm on when nobody else is...

...like now...

And now for something completely different.

I think a Hendrix movie could be good. It's something I personally might see.

And now for something else completely different.

I haven't seen the band Yes mentioned much around here, at least not that I've seen. And I've been on a bit of a Yes kick lately, as I recently got the 35th Anniversary Ultimate Yes CD set. SO GOOD!

What are other opinions of this crazy art-rock band?

[Woodstock]

I wouldn't want to see a Hendrix movie without his songs. That would be pretty idiotic. I'm glad that Al still has respect for his dead son's music.

[Spectrum]

I wouldn't want to see a Hendrix movie without his songs. That would be pretty idiotic. I'm glad that Al still has respect for his dead son's music.

An intersting point. A Hendrix movie with out his music in it? Bah! Not so good.

The idea of a Hendrix movie still intersts me, though.

[thickasabrick]

I would watch a Hendrix movie without his music in it...he's still an interesting guy. They desperately need to make a Bob Dylan movie. It would be amazing. Has there been any made before (except for live footage and interviews etc)?

[guitrguy]

Have you seen him interviews? Its obvious the man has done his share of drugs.

[Spectrum]

Yeh, just the advertisement for the interview was enough to know that he's had his share.

Y'know who's had more, though? Keith Richards. In fact, there are no drugs left in Britain, because he's taken them all! How is that man not dead?

[lunch998]

Have you seen him interviews? Its obvious the man has done his share of drugs.

I think he's done my share too.

[Broken Arrow]

I think he's done my share too.
And my share too!:(

Anyways....I would see the Hendrix movie his songs or not.

Butcould they get the rigts to All Along the Watch Tower and Sunsine of Your Love and Whild Thing?

[Jam2Me]

I was watching Viva La Bam and saw this "heartagram" thing everywhere and I tohught Bam Margera had a band like his bro in cKy...so I check out the band "HIM" and read about the members. One of the members put under the part of a survey called DISLIKES - The Beatles.

...I was like ARE YOU JOKING ME!?! I have zero respect for that group now.
That's gross ignorance.

[Illmatic]

Oh my god, he doesn't like the Beatles? Off with his head!

[Woodstock]

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, no matter how ignorant or stupid.

[Jam2Me]

Oh my god, he doesn't like the Beatles? Off with his head!

...

His band wouldn't be around if it wasn't for the Beatles...how can you dislike them?

I could understand if he said like NSYNC or w/e but wtf.
You obviously couldn't understand what I was trying to get at although I thought it was pretty obvious.

[Illmatic]

Is it not possible to not like a band but respect them?

Is it so hard to realize that some people may just not like The Beatles' music?

[Jam2Me]

I Dislike Rush but I would never put that on some survey under Dislikes...I would put something I loathe like Clay Aiken. Ah forget it I guess he can dislike the Beatles because the Beatles are a thousand times better then his music.

[Against Miik!]

You guys gotta settle down. For a band like HIM that sucks royally, they have to do every little thing they can to seem sweet. He probably is just trying to be a badass by saying he doesn't like them.

[Broken Arrow]

Hehe. This reminds me of the other day when I was wearing my Beatles shirt and the girl I was talking to was like "oh you like the Beatles" and I said Not Really, in a very sarcastic voice and she was like "Me too, I don't like any old music" I laughed at her and walked away.

MORAL-It doesn't matter what other people say about bands unless they keep on doing it repeatidly and it gets annoying.

[jpj]

I don't know what to vote for!

:(

[Johnny B. Good]

on to another topic what's you guy's fav Doors album

[Broken Arrow]

I don't know what to vote for!

:(
I just voted for DSOTM. Yes I am a fanboy. :upset:

[jpj]

I think I'm gonna wait until the last day to see how things play out.

[Jam2Me]

Hehe. This reminds me of the other day when I was wearing my Beatles shirt and the girl I was talking to was like "oh you like the Beatles" and I said Not Really, in a very sarcastic voice and she was like "Me too, I don't like any old music" I laughed at her and walked away.

MORAL-It doesn't matter what other people say about bands unless they keep on doing it repeatidly and it gets annoying.

You should've pimp slapped her, then walked away. :amaze:

My favorite Doors album is s/t.

I voted for Eat A Peach, a losing vote :thumb:

[Against Miik!]

So...I just tried to drink a gallon of milk in a hour.

[Johnny B. Good]

Did you throwup?
my friend tried it once and puked everywhere, then we had to clean it up :upset:

[lunch998]

So...I just tried to drink a gallon of milk in a hour.

An hour? I've tried it in half an hour. Needless to say it's impossible.

I also voted Eat A Peach.

[Against Miik!]

I'm preparing for tommorowing. I've been dared, so it will be lunch entertainment. I got a half gallon in just over 20 minutes, but I felt horrible so I quit. I don't think I could do it.

[Johnny B. Good]

How long is your lunch

[Against Miik!]

54 minutes, with 4 minutes between the class before and after.

[lunch998]

It's funny when people that haven't tried it say that it's so easy. I just laugh at them.

[Johnny B. Good]

54 minutes, with 4 minutes between the class before and after.

You could try and secretly dump some out

[Jam2Me]

Anyone here into Marshall Tucker Band? Livewired said he'd never heard of them :O
Their first two albums are really great but that's about it. Not too groundbreaking but I still think they're a little too underrated.

And is anyone into lesser known classic rock bands like the Flying Burrito Brothers or Commander Cody?

[jpj]

I've only heard Heard It In A Love Song by Marshall Tucker. It seems to be their most well known.

[Against Miik!]

They are a great southern rock band.

[Johnny B. Good]

as good as Skynyrd?

[Schyma]

Skynyrd suck dude. I like the Flying Burrito Brothers I have their GH.

[LedZeppelin173]

does anybody here like Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band? i like them, pretty good classic rock....

[Badmoon]

^Yeah, I like most of his stuff.

And Skynyrd don't suck. I actually really like their sound.

[Schyma]

I have a few Seger albums so yes.

[Schyma]

What is Neil Young's best album?

[magicbus]

I don't like Bob Seger. His music is about as plain as it comes to me, and he rhymes the same words together.

[Illmatic]

I'd say the self-titled Buffalo Springfield album, if that counts.

[Schyma]

How about After the Gold Rush and Harvest?

[Illmatic]

Haven't heard 'em.

[jpj]

Out the ones I've heard I'd have to sat Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere is his best.

[STP]

Queen should have tapped Marilyn Manson to sing instead of Bad Co.`s singer for the reunion.
It fits. ;)

[Lee Harvey Castro]

Have King Crimson been mentioned yet? I've been listening to In the court of the crimson king alot recently and I have to say it's the best prog album I've heard yet, any thoughts?

[thickasabrick]

Have King Crimson been mentioned yet? I've been listening to In the court of the crimson king alot recently and I have to say it's the best prog album I've heard yet, any thoughts?

ya we've talked about King Crimson before. They are a good band, unfortunately I don't know enough about them to actually have real discussion about them.

and my favourite Neil Young albums are Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, and Harvest. and that doesn't include any of the other bands he's been in, just him and crazyhorse.

[magicbus]

I was about to put in Court of the Crimson King last night, but instead I listened to The Band. Oh well!

[jpj]

I watched The Last Waltz, it's so good :D

[magicbus]

I have to watch it again soon. But I've been watching the Crossroads Festival a lot too.

[Rasta Rocker]

Off Topic....but Boondock Saints is one of the greatest movies ever

[Modestbob]

Have King Crimson been mentioned yet? I've been listening to In the court of the crimson king alot recently and I have to say it's the best prog album I've heard yet, any thoughts?


Court Of Crimson King is great, but i think Starless and Bible Black is better.

[ATM]

Court Of Crimson King is great, but i think Starless and Bible Black is better.


Im with this guy. Starless is better.

[thickasabrick]

Court Of Crimson King is great, but i think Starless and Bible Black is better.

Those are King Crimson albums? I've never heard anything except one song, so i'm thinking of looking into more good songs so and hopefully get an album or two. what would anyone suggest for songs/albums?

[Against Miik!]

I watched The Last Waltz, it's so good :D

I couldn't really get into it because, well, I don't really like The Band.

[Against Miik!]

But I do like Bob Dylan. New favorite song is "Don't Think Twice It's Alright". Find it, Listen to it, Enjoy it.

[thickasabrick]

man that is Dylans best song! i'm repping the hell out of you every chance i get now.

actually i discovered that song over christmas holidays...and i've probably listened to it like five times a day since then. usually i listen to a song then store it away for a long time cuz i get bored of songs pretty easily.

i love the fingerpicking, although you can hear a few mistakes, we will forgive him for being so amazing.

I don't mind the mistakes. It gives it a stripped down kinda feeling.

[appreciate_it]

It fits.

or simple plans singer.

[thickasabrick]

I don't mind the mistakes. It gives it a stripped down kinda feeling.

that's the whole feeling of that album...that's why it's my second fave. that album shows every aspect of songwriting Dylan has to offer...and he does a great job of it.

Blood on the Tracks is my favourite though.

[Woodstock]

How about After the Gold Rush and Harvest?
Mine are Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After The Goldrush.

[thickasabrick]

After the Goldrush (i'm talking about the song) is amazing. I learned it on guitar but i can't make it sound exactly like the piano, too much stuff going on.

[thickasabrick]

Queen should have tapped Marilyn Manson to sing instead of Bad Co.`s singer for the reunion.
It fits. ;)

I think Bad Co's singer would do a great job, but i think the singer from Foreigner would sound even better.

[Against Miik!]

I think nobody sounds like Freddy and they shouldn't have a reunion. It's like the Doors without Morrison, or (sorry) Nirvana without Cobain. Unless they are doing it for money, it's a bad idea.

[thickasabrick]

Are they still calling themselves Queen? Because if so, that's just wrong. They should change their name.

If they still want to tour together, they should form a new band and start a new fanbase. If people want to see them play, they can go, but some people will just go "to see Queen", they don't care about the actual musicians. It isn't the same without Freddy.

[Phantasm]

they should have come up with a new name, cause without freddy there is no queen. ill still try and get tickets though, cause john deacon and brian may kick ***.

[guitrguy]

Do any of you guys get Channel 1 at school?

[jpj]

Yea, we watch it every day in homeroom.

[RNR]

Queen without Freddie is like a polar bear without its sword...


which is very wrong.

[Johnny B. Good]

I think Bad Co's singer would do a great job, but i think the singer from Foreigner would sound even better.
Lou Graham(Foreignor singer) does kind of sound like Freddy

[guitrguy]

Yea, we watch it every day in homeroom.
Did you hear them play The Rain Song yesterday?

[jpj]

I didn't know polar bears carried swords, unless by polar bears you mean power metal bands :confused:

I'd go see Queen without Freddie, it certainly wouldn't be as good, but I still think it'd be awesome.

[jpj]

Do you hear them play The Rain Song yesterday?
Why yes, yes I did.

[Johnny B. Good]

Do any of you guys get Channel 1 at school?
I used to (man those "reporters" are fags, they make up the lamest jokes), but my grandpa decided that I needed a good "education" so my parents decided to send to private school as long as he pays tuition for me

[Johnny B. Good]

They still have Brian May, but if he died, then it would be pointless to go

great Crimson albums:

In The Court Of Crimson King
Lark's Tounge In Aspic
Starless and Bible Black
Red
Three Of A Perfect Pair (its a ok album not there best)
Beat

those are some good ones

[guitrguy]

Why yes, yes I did.
It totally surprised me. When I heard I was like "oh Shi.." It made my day.

[jpj]

It totally surprised me. When I heard I was like "oh Shi.." It made my day.
I was pretty surprised too, I just kept waiting for this bitch that dressed all hardcore to say something like "OmG dis songs sUx letz liss3n 2 gUd sH4rl0tt3".

[guitrguy]

I was expecting Ashly Simpson or some song like that, which they play every other time.

[Johnny B. Good]

Do any of you guys like Jefferson Airplane?

[jpj]

I love Jefferson Airplane.

[Johnny B. Good]

What's your favorite song by them?

[jpj]

White Rabbit without a doubt, I wish it was longer.

[Johnny B. Good]

White Rabbit without a doubt, I wish it was longer.
such a good song, I like Jane a lot too

The Blue Man Group cover is awesome. :)

We get it at my school, but the teacher I have right now doesn't make us watch it.

[Johnny B. Good]

such a good song, I like Jane a lot too
They also do Wooden Ships really well too

[Woodstock]

We got Channel 1 in Middle school, not anymore though. I did hear Kashmir played before though, and nobody knew what I was talking about. "I love Led Zeppelin, that guy is awesome!"

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

lol

[Johnny B. Good]

Did George Harrison or Clapton do the solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?
