Classic Rock

[Badmoon]

I was pretty sure about that, but is Derek?

[Paranoidd]

That, I don't know. There was an article about them in this months guitar world, but its at home and I'm at work...

Google it maybe?

[Badmoon]

It doesn't matter really, because I'll go just because of Warren.

[RNR]

Warren Hanes is enough by himself. But another guy would make it better.

Btw what happened to Dicki?

[WarlockGuitarist]

Im only 14 it amazes me that most people of my age couldnt tell Green Day from
Zeppelin there missing out on great music. Classic Rock is by far the best there is. Everything on my playlist is older than me. I havent heard a solo in a new song in so long. Its sad :upset:

[nextjimmypage]

classic rock is the s'hit. i love all the big names--aerosmith, zep,hendrix,many others, also i like less known bands like allman bros,tesla, doobie bros,38 special,black crowes-- i like new rock that sounds like classic rock, like the darkness, ben kweller, silvertide

[Badmoon]

Warren Hanes is enough by himself. But another guy would make it better.

Btw what happened to Dicki?

I don't know, I guess he went solo :)

[RNR]

:) good for him. He has 6 months to live acording to the laws of rock and roll. Any guitarist from a great guitar band that goes solo will die within 6 months of leaving the band. I'll miss him :(

[nextjimmypage]

it makes me sad cuz im 15 and all my music is at least 15 years older than me. i went to see kiss and aerosmith and it was the s'hit!!!!!!!!

[Badmoon]

I bet I can play for The Allman Brothers. Has anyone noticed that they hire and have a good amount of Blonde haired men playing for them. There's my ticket in ;)

[Paranoidd]

:) good for him. He has 6 months to live acording to the laws of rock and roll. Any guitarist from a great guitar band that goes solo will die within 6 months of leaving the band. I'll miss him :(

Hrmm...what about Clapton?

Slashs snakepit had some good stuff.
John Frusciante seems to be doing well.

[RNR]

Dangit :(. Yeah well Frusciante is sure to OD soon. Clapton is god thearfore he can't be killed :thumb:

Pwn't

[Badmoon]

:) good for him. He has 6 months to live acording to the laws of rock and roll. Any guitarist from a great guitar band that goes solo will die within 6 months of leaving the band. I'll miss him :(

Yea, but surpringly, so far when an Allman Brothers member goes solo, he usually does pretty well. Mark um down, Trucks, Allman, Haynes, and Betts has done okay, and hopefully will remain that way.

[Badmoon]

Hrmm...what about Clapton?

Slashs snakepit had some good stuff.
John Frusciante seems to be doing well.

Yea, but Clapton is in a way a virtuoso. He has never stayed in a band that long. Mark um down once again, Mayall, Cream, Dereck and the Dominoes, Blind Faith, The Yardbirds. He never stayed that long for any.

[Nshah90]

the ABC's keep on dying, unless...

KISS (they have been around for a LONG time)

[Nshah90]

Then, obviously, it'd be Led Zeppelin

[RNR]

lynyrd skynyrd :)

[Badmoon]

meat loaf, yours doesn't count.

[RNR]

mEANIE :( There, I deleted it, it's dead now. Poor Mark knopfler :(

Neil Young.

[Badmoon]

That doesn't count either.

[RNR]

Why not?

[Badmoon]

That would count for Young, Neil

Last name before first.

[RNR]

Ooo alright i'll save him for later on then. :(

[RNR]

Uhh can we skip n or does anyone have a band.

[Badmoon]

Screw the game, this thread was goin' good with The Allman Brothers discussion.

So, who's better Warren or Derek?

[RNR]

Once again you are absolutely right. Talking about teh Allman brothers is good.

I'd say warren. Just for shear quality of every note he plays. Some guys do solos just for the sake of doing solos but with warren hanes he feels the musics and really gets into it. He does better slow songs than faster ones. Sort of like Clapton exept not as good as clapton. I'm not saying derek isn;t that way but Hanes is better.

Edit: :lol: we're the last 10 posts in the thread. I think we've taken the thread for ourslfs and others are scared to post :(

[Badmoon]

I also think Warren is better. Though I do find him a bit choppy, and Derek a bit more smooth, it's irrelevant. Because look at Neil Young, or listen to "Woodstock". He can not be playing anymore jagged and choppy, but Neil is stills a fabulous guitarist. And so is Warren, as is Derek :).


Duane>Dickey>Warren>Derek

[Badmoon]

RockandRoll


Here's something interesting. Remember when we were trying to figure out who in Almost Famous, was who in real life.

http://home.pcmagic.net/jimb/blues/GreggDickey201.jpg

Check out Dickey Betts to the right. He looks exactly like Russel Hammond. ;)


Speaking of The Allman Brothers, as we have been doing. I know Trucks is like 24, but he looks like he's a full grown 17 year old. I just thought that was weird, and figured I'd share it.

[RNR]

Duane>Dickey>Warren>Derek

Lol Yeah Neil is so choopy. Like the first 2 solos of Like a Huricane. Man... then he sort of picked it up a bit.


I was also going to put the almon's guitarists in that order. On acount of that's how it should go. Keeping in mind that Derk is still very good.

I guess he does look a bit youngish. People grow at different rates. Being 24 years old and playing for Greg Allman... that's unreal, the guy must be dancing on air (like happy and such). If greg allman asks you to play guitar for his band (or him solo) you do it! Same with Bob Dylan and to a lesser extent Ozzy.

[RockAndRoll]

Woodstock is an amazing song :) Crosby stills nash and young do a good job with it even if they didn't write it.

[andthencametheshots]

um... some people were mentioning van halen earlier. i think that must have been a mistake because last time i checked van halen sucked a sweaty browneye.

[keep on phishin']

i get to see csny,boston , chicago and ewf on august 25 in nashville im very excited bout that.just thought i should share my excitement with you guys. :)

[RNR]

^ Can you do the splits in the air off of an amp while shreading Eddie Van Halen's songs? I think not! Van Halen>you

Edit: one guy above phish.

[Badmoon]

Woodstock is an amazing song :) Crosby stills nash and young do a good job with it even if they didn't write it.

There's always that one bad thought when thinking about CSNY. You know, therer heaviest song is a cover from Joni Mitchell :p . It doesn't matter to me, but perhaps hard rock fans.

[RNR]

There's always that one bad thought when thinking about CSNY. You know, therer heaviest song is a cover from Joni Mitchell :p .

:eek: Wow. Ahh well maybe they juiced it up a bit. Like when Van Halen covered "you really got me" by the kinks. That song pwns by the way to the guy who says Van Halen sucks :angry:.,..... :angry:

[RockAndRoll]

There's always that one bad thought when thinking about CSNY. You know, therer heaviest song is a cover from Joni Mitchell :p . It doesn't matter to me, but perhaps hard rock fans.
:lol: true, it really doesn't bother me though. Although she was a good songwriter I don't like Joni mitchell's voice.

[Badmoon]

^ Can you do the splits in the air off of an amp while shreading Eddie Van Halen's songs? I think not! Van Halen>you

Edit: one guy above phish.

Well, actually I was practicing my tapping (it's getting good ;), kinda ) and finger picking (I'm a banjo player, that's my style) while I decided to jump on the bed, while doing it I decided to jump off the bed. I did and almost landed on my cat :p , but none the less I was doing the Badmoon Bluegrass Shred* Breakdown while jumping off the bed. No splits though.

*I use that word lightly, very very lightly ;)

[RNR]

yes but you dont think van halen suck. Do you, do you? ahh.

[Badmoon]

No, but the point is

Badmoon writing is the third person > Joni Mitchel

[theArgentinian]

Yea :upset: I like Joni Mitchel though. Friend of CSNY is a friend of mine. Plus I like her writing.

[theArgentinian]

i am his stalker...i raped him...its a message to eggo...not u....fUkker...i

[RNR]

Okey, all of this spamzorzing is making me lose track of the conversations i'm having in the thread. Let's see, allmans, van halen rules, shred while juming off things, Joni>moon... i'm lost.

[Badmoon]

i am his stalker...i raped him...its a message to eggo...not u....fUkker...i

Okay, I'm informing Eggo in the mx chat, and possibly reporting you.

[RNR]

post a link to the mx chat, I remember that I was looking for the thread with it.

[Peepee]

Classic Rock kick asses...

Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Beach Boys, Animals, Guess Who, The Who, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Focus, Kansas, Jethro Tull, Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Yes, David Bowie, Frank Zappa and the Mother of Inventions, Nazareth, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Creedence... and a lot more..

But my favourite one is The Doors...

[RNR]

^that first post beats most other people's first posts. Which is good, my first post was asking who dave grohl was :(

[Badmoon]

Mahavishnu Orchestra

There more Jazz, but still a great band :thumb:


We should have a Classic Rock field trip (in time) :p and go see a C.R band. That'd be sweet.


It'd be...

[RockAndRoll]

My band learned hotel california today and I realized it has a very weird thing during the chorus (I think it was the chorus) listen to the drums on beats "4" and the "and" of beat four. It sounded very weird to me at first, but I hadn't noticed it before today when I learnt it. I like it now though.

I've got another Idea, we could form a band! I've got the drums covered!

[Badmoon]

What is exactly weird. I don't feel like switching from Eat A Peach to Hotel California right now :p.

Oh Yeah, but there's an amazing energy in that band... really rock'n'roll.. but generalizing, it's a fusion band...

[StreetlightRock]

*Screams my way in, AXL STYLE!!!!!!*

Fezzing muck, its been a while, i took a 3 week holiday to Greece for the summer there and ive been having an awsome time. Things i accomplished:

#Bought Roger Waters - In the flesh CD
#Gained a Megadeth CD after i left it as home when i was ment to give it to my cousin. Bought him a shirt insted. oh well.
#Bought a compliation Cd of Jimmy pages solo works
#Got a Led Zeppelin shirt (5 Euros, what the hell)
#Saw a Live video of Eric Clapton Playing live at Something Albert Hall.
#Saw another Live Video of Ray Charles playing.... somewhere. Couldnt read the Greek.
#A whole bunch of other things :naughty:

Anyway, gald to see the CR thread still up here on the 1st page.

DVG.

[Badmoon]

^Welcome back :)

[skenken]

why is everyone forgettin acdc. even though they still play doesnt mean they cant be called a classic rock band, they've been playing for years. they r one of my favorite bands

[burt reynolds]

That's the answer I was looking fo, but I do beleive that's not the only song of theirs in the movie (when they're going into new yorkand they find out he's not a virgin it's playing misty mountain hop if I remember correctly).

That is why I do not beleive that dazed aand confused has any of their music in it.

yeah i believe misty mountain hop is in that movie too, i know for a fact that dazed and confused has no zeppelin in it, because, jimmy page released an album of what he thought were the greatest hits to the big movie studios about 3 years ago, you cant get the album, it was just released to help get thier songs into movies, and almost famous came out right after that

[Paranoidd]

Yo, I'm down :)

I can produce the album. Me = self-taught producer.

[Guitar Ganja Dude]

Classic rock is the best kind of music in my opinion. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, ACDC, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Van halen, Guns & Roses, etc. (some of which may not be considered classic) are the most talented bands ever. So many bands out today where inspired by classic rock bands. Also I think The Darkness is kinda bringing back that 70's style of rock. Its not the same but better than most newer bands, at least I think so.

[StreetlightRock]

I got Guitar!

Heh, reading about Queen just now, i was in Greece, and just after we won the semi-finals for the Euro cup, we sat down for dinner, and the shop right next to us KEPT playing 'We are the champions' OVER and OVER and OVER again. I had it stuck in my head for the next 2 days.

and Skenken, ACDC has been mentioned. lol, prolly almost every single CR has been named, if you shift though the 74 pages, im sure you'd find one youre looking for.

DVG.

[RockAndRoll]

Although I think AC/DC has good songs especially for getting pumped/partying or whatever they're not one of my favourite bands, all their songs sound too similar to me. Although they put on an awesome show, they stole it from the stones last year at sarstock.

[Badmoon]

ACDC has grown old to me. It'll happen to all of you too, that is if it has yet to happen.

[RockAndRoll]

I agree, I'll listen to it if it's on but that's it.

[RNR]

But AC/DC is the thunder from down under! :( yeah you're right. I still like them and will never grow tired of their songs (at least their good ones).

[Badmoon]

Banned again, why this time?

[RNR]

I don't know. Probably posting in bad threads or something like that.

[rockmerollme]

Anyone familar with Little Feat? They're not as widely recognized as they probably deserve to be, but I figured if anyone would know of them, classic rock fans would.

[slugger69]

I would say there has been an increase in classic rock. I personal like it. Led Zeppelin, The Who, and the Jimmi Hendrix are my personal favorites. I just moved to Florida and a lot of people like that rap crap. But I came from Iowa (Yeah, Iowa) :D and there was a lot of guys at school that love classic rock. I would see guys wearing Led Zeppelin, Steve Millar Band, The Who shirts. I think there's that "relival" because many people don't like the nu-metal stuff or rap, and the rock they've been listen to has become old, so they go back to what started it all.

[keep on phishin']

ive heard a little bit of little feat not that much though. fat man in a bathtub is a good song. so is two trains

[punk_oftenlymissused]

music today just sucks ..... lets just all face it. if we lived in the 70's and 80's the choclates of life would kick ***.

i really like a great band a virginian band Mothers Finest great band dowlnload piece of rock and nigizz cant sang rok'n'rol

[motorheadman341]

Wtf. OmG leik the darkness is bringing back clasik roxorz!!11! U r stupoid

:rolleyes: That is pretty much what everybody in my school says.

It's dumasses that like the darkness that ruined classic. This MTV band is untalented and sound like pitiful pop rock. Die.

[rockmerollme]

I would see guys wearing Led Zeppelin, Steve Millar Band, The Who shirts.

There was this random explosion of Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" t-shirts at my school this year. You would see at least three of them a day. I mean, it's great that people can get into classics like Pink Floyd, it was just out of no where that all of a sudden tons of people were walking around with the infamous 'light through the prism' image on their shirts..

[RNR]

People wear Steve Miller band shirts? I mean i'd wear one in a second but they aren't nearly famous enough for lots people to be wearing their shirts. The Who and Zeppelin have their share of "posers" though. "OMG many stary 2 heaven and pinball wizard are da best!!!11". Then you ask them to name another song by the bnds and they can't.

[jimmypagemylove]

yes, i have been, now it's like the popular thing to like classic rock, it kind of agrivates me because the people who made fun of me for liking the old stuff, now are talking about how much they love it... man, it was great to be different, but now, it's like everyone is into it... :confused:

[Badmoon]

^Please don't write in any other color, but the standard color. :)

Dude I've Been a Led Head since I was born. My Father put me to sleep to the sounds of Led Zeppelin, The Scorpions, The Doors, The BEatles you name it man. There is nothing better than CLASSIC ROCK.

:lol: Led head, clever.

I haven't heard anything by the scoripons other than rock you like a hurricane. Keeping in mind that that's a **** good song :thumb:

Yeah, ok i admit im only 14, but hey, i love classic rock,i love pink floyd and queen! i was raised on it,(my father would kill me if i got into that "rap crap")

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

good charlotte...UCK! they are what i call a pop boy band tryin to be badass, its horrible what the youth of today are listening to, if your going to listen to a pop band, then at least listen to something out of the 80's!!!

[RNR]

Pop in the 70s and 80s was just the music that was better than the other music. Not ****ty sell out boybands with guitars.

[T-Web]

Could any of you guys reccomend me a cd to pick up from Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath.

All I have is The Wall and Symptoms of the Universe.

[da_tetz06]

i would try to find either of there best hits, always a good option

[keep on phishin']

Could any of you guys reccomend me a cd to pick up from Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath.

probaly dark side of the moon but thats always the obvious choice , besides that try either meddle or piper at the gates of dawn

for sabbath go with paranoid then master of reality :thumb:

Not all of it, have you ever listened to the carpenters? my god that is the
shittiest music in the universe it makes me wish a cinder block would crush my head

Could any of you guys reccomend me a cd to pick up from Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath.
In terms of pink floyd Dark side of the moon is a popular "starter album" it sort of gets you into their type of stuff. hmmm Meddle is good, Wish you were here or animals would be my other reccomendations. But wish you were here doesn't have the same sense of togetherness as the other's it's just a few good songs that they threw under the same name type thing.

[RNR]

Not aall of it, have you ever listened to the carpenters? my god that is the

Yeah true. But record companys have ruined music. If a band wants to be huge they have to follow a certain format or else it wont apeal to the masses.

[RockAndRoll]

not so much that it nessecarily won't so much as the record company's won't let it(or take a chance on it or whatever you want). That's why you don't sign anything without creative control :thumb:.

[RNR]

Indeed.



Kim Mitchell=the pwn :D I suggest all of you go see him since he's touring. And he's with April wine and they aren't bad.

[Josh_Man21]

Ten Years After is great classic rock band that not a lot of people know about.
If You like Zeppelin or Hendrix look into this band. My dad said that they played at Woodstock 69'. And Yeah there is a small amount of teenagers listening to classic rock, me being one of them, but more then half of them have their heads so far up MTV's *** that they'll probably never hear or even want to know about the greatest bands ever.

[RockAndRoll]

I think he's coming to the hawk rocks the park festival here in london next week, along with april wine, steppenwolf, alice cooper etc... It's going to be awesome.

Oh ya I saw jeff heely last night at the blues fest here... for free and right next to the stage. The festival was being held in a praking lot and there was an alley from the street behind that led to spot level with the stage and five feet away max. Canned heat and Jimmie vaughan are lpaying sometime too, I hope I can go and I hope they don't block off the alley, I had better seats then anyone who actually paid to get in :lol:.

So do I.. also 14 but turning 15!!!.. anyways.. Iam new on this forum... I don't like punk bands like good charlotte, yellowcard, simple plan, etc.. They're the "boy bands" of rock.. they're not even close to music!! It's amazing how rock & roll changed after a period of time and how they lowered the standards.. if this was the 70s or 80s.. those bands wouldn't even get a record deal... bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are the untouchables of rock & roll/metal... no one would get close to them for the next 10 years or so.. that's what I believe... their the Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali of rock... :)

Whats awesome about classic rock is that its old and no one can change which way its going. its perfect to listen to. I love listening to it when ever i have a chance. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The doors, and i dont know if they are classic rock, but DRamarama. classic rock is awesome. :wave:

They're on the woodstock DVD aren't they? (i could move a few feet and check but meh)

[eme efe you]

Im pretty sure. If you haven't ever heard them, listen to their most known song: I'd love to change the world. It's on the Farenhiet (sp) 9/11 sound track. Also an awesome song to play on the guitar :) Alvin is the man.

I think i've heard that song. Good song.

[Guitar Ganja Dude]

Glad to see all the classic rock fans. The way I see it, most bands that come out are popular for a period of time, but eventually everyone gets tired of them. But classic bands like Led Zeppelin, ACDC, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, even Metallica and all the other classic rock bands are never forgotten. Every new generation discovers them and they aren't just a phase.

[Guitar Ganja Dude]

You know it must be a good band when people are still listening to them up to 30 years later.

[matt]

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ Yes, one of the greatest bands ever. That is when they have Joe Walsh. I have the Yer album, and Rides Again, and those have to be two of the greatest CD's I own.

MC5 are awesome
also try new york dolls, the sonics, and the greatest band of all time KISS

Ah, I was just refering that to anyone who cared and or listened :)

[StreetlightRock]

The thing about the degregation of music (not just Rn'R)... well, if you examine it, its not such a suprise. I mean, all those songs that they danced to back in the 70's, (Not Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Greatful Dead, etc but more mainstream dance/pop music) say, Niel Sakadas stuff, for example, he wrote great music, 'Love will keep us together', etc, not rock, but you know, 70's music. Alot of thought went into the stuff he wrote and the piano bits and some of the chords and the transitions are just really catchy, yet its good musicianship. On the outside, it was simple music. Artists these days, they discard musicianship for catchyness and simplicity.

For example, Aaron Carters 'Candy' (In my sis was watching nicolodian (sp?) and they played this song, Ugh.) and its so fuc'king catchy, but the musicianship is close to nil. The lyrics mean nothing, no thought, just a nice catchy beat. But the fact is, aduiences can whilstle along to it and its an 'easy' song.

Electonica and synthicysers (sp?) made it worse, just being able to throw together sounds that make up music in a way. This starts coming into the late 80's and 90's and begins to worsen music, as people realise that it dosnt have to be 'good music' to sell, but just catchy. (Hence Hip hop and Rap, etc)

Meh, ive had too much time to think. It just that, everyones like, what the hell has happned to music and all, well, you could have seen it coming, mabye it wasnt obvious, but it was there, a tranistion to simpler and simpler music, that just sold.

[Guitar Ganja Dude]

Umm..... what?

[RNR]

Yes but real musicianship is still recignised. If a song means something to the artist and the artist has pollished the song to near perfection before putting it on an album people will remember it in 30 years. That is what most classic rock bands do. These new bands just throw 4 powerchords into a basic drum rhthem and the bass player just plays a few different notes insted of brilliant well though out riffs. In classic rock the riffs are very important and are most of the time memorable.

This is all the product of the fact that it's just that easy to make money in the music bisiness these days. Screw being good if you can write an album and make half a million dollars and then stop with music. That's the whole attitude and i'm sick of it. There are still plenty of good bands but their sound is so different from the standard Mtv sound that the youth today doesn't care about it. For examplekenny wayne shepherd band makes an amazing album in 1999 yet the only people who buy it are people over the age of 40. It's cause they grew up on that sound and like it. Young people never give something different (at least for them) a chance.

Of course with this revolution more people are getting into classic rock, nu metal is fading and there seems to be a pretty healthy Alt and Indie scene. Things are looking up for music today.

Keep in mind that that was a cover though. :)

In classic rock the riffs are very important and are most of the time memorable.

Yeah, unless they basically noodle the song away. But that is usually done by bands that put lown emphasis on recording and more on live perfromances. Like The Grateful Dead, especially on their debut self titled album. That technique has been lost.

These days it's more about laying down some unoriginal power chord progression. Maybe with a few hammers, and a mediocre solo. Which it shouldn't be. You really can't even here the chord or anything at that because it is drownd in distortion.

[StreetlightRock]

GAH! They can't even make their own music! And dare to turn it into a SINGLE! *fumes*

Ya, I really don't like that, it's just background noise.

[RNR]

You can't even pick out the chords that they are using cause it's too distorted.

Half of the grateful dead's shows are jammed anyway. One of the reasons why they rule :thumb:

[Seafroggys]

How do you think the general middle/high school populace will respond to a band that does 'classic rock' style originals? Because I'm thinking whenever I form a band, thats what I'll want to do. If kids really want something like this, and I"m a monopoly......$$$$ :)

Anyway, I'm dreaming.

Whats your opinions on this?

[RNR]

I think that it has to be a sort of hard rock Ac/dc type thing. Absolutely no blues allowed or they will hate it.

[Badmoon]

Don't just do a well known Classic Rock song, that's to predictable. Do something from like...The Stooges or The MC5. Most of them won't know who they are, they're not that complicated of songs, and since they have that Hard Rock touch, most will love it.

Go forth my child :thumb:

[clawzcobain]

favourite bands of mine include the beatles and the doors. definitly masters who need recognition but not to the point where we have teenagers listening to them because its "cool".

my parents always point out i like many bands that;
A. have dead members
B. i wasnt even concieved when their music was made.

[RockAndRoll]

I don't think they will nessecarily hate it, it depends what kind of blues... blues blues won't be welcomed so much but lets say zeppelin blues I think would do fine. (that was to rock not roll[ed])

In my writing (which has yet to be played in conert) there is definitely alot of classic rock influence, I'd say in terms of my drumming style the doors and the who are huge influences. The doors influence I think comes through in our music, even with the current lack of lyrics, and keyboards. My lead guitarist's probably most influenced by Hendrix and Page. My rhythm guitarist is is most influenced i think by the doors and the beatles. And my bassist's biggest writing influence is John Entwhistle.

[RNR]

I'm not rolled anymore! Woo go me!

On topic, I think there will be a lot of people that would like a good MC5 song even though they have never heard it before. And then there will be people who want you to play a Blink182 song. My advice, play what you like to play! Keep it real. You can't please the world so just please yourself.

[Badmoon]

I would play Phish - Down with Disease.

[magicbus]

Cream *drools* their song sra ejust completely mindblowingly amazingly good.

"twice upon a time in the valley of the tears the auctioneer is bidding on a box of fading years"


Agreed. I don't care how egotistical they were, they were amazing.

[magicbus]

Dazed and Confused?

**** I wish I wasn't gone for a few days, I'm pretty sure that's it. Somebody working on the movie (director probably) convinced them to let him use that song. Sorry if its been said, I just got back today.

[RNR]

Yes indeed they were very good. When you're that good it's your right to be egotistical.

[smashing into the boards]

VAN HALEN sept 17!!!!!!!!!

[Wylde_Ozzy]

I think We all have to look at it this way, ofcoarse classic rock is coming back, how could it not, with songs like hotel california, and stairway, and shine on you crazy diamond, it is amazing that classic rock is not the most popular type of music, in my mind rap/hip hop, is not even music, and when you see people with really talent like jimmy paige, and jimi hendrix its amazing that there music isnt still topping the charts even though it may be old. Classic rock will live forever!!!!!

[magicbus]

Okey, all of this spamzorzing is making me lose track of the conversations i'm having in the thread. Let's see, allmans, van halen rules, shred while juming off things, Joni>moon... i'm lost.

Sweet. I thought I was one the only people in this thread who like Van Halen. I've been working on tapping too. Its fun when it comes out right.

[RNR]

There are lots of people who like Van Halen, They are a great band with one of the greatest guitarists in the history of music. :thumb:

[magicbus]

yes vh are great although i tend to live david lee roth better than sammy hagar cuz i feel that hes the better singer and performer out of the two.but van halen is still great even without david. glad to see they are touring again :thumb: .

[RockAndRoll]

Why did I not know cream was egotistical?:confused::upset: They did an amzingly large number of awesome songs considering they were together for a very shot amount of time.

[Bluesman522]

About the song Candy (recently released by Aron Carter) They stole the music to that song from Bo Didley's Who Do You Love. It was coverd in the sixties by Iron Butterfly, and then some dip**** in the seventies or eighties changed the words and we get this ****ty pop song with and awesome beat. Its sick, im surprised bo didley's estate hasnt sued someone.

[Badmoon]

^Perhaps, he let them use it, and perhaps their is a slight difference.

[RockAndRoll]

hahah who was it that got sued for plagerising his own material. ****it i can't think of his name, CCR, and then he wrote something that sounded too much like one of the songs he wrote in CCR and they tried to sue him. :lol:If only I wasn't so tired.EDIT: I remember the first song was run through the jungle....

[Bluesman522]

John Fogarty?

[RockAndRoll]

Ya I think that's it.

[RNR]

Ha that's gotta suck.

[Guitar Ganja Dude]

That reminds me of how Michael Jackson bought the rights to all The Beatles songs and Paul McCartney got pissed cuz he wanted to buy them back. Also I agree Van Halen is an awsome band and Eddie Van Halen is definitely one of the best guitarists. I've been learning some of his songs that involve the finger tapping and stuff. I hope to see them in concert soon, but I think David Lee Roth was a much better singer, songwriter, and performer than Sammy Hagar but oh well.

[RNR]

I don't know anyone who likes Sammy Hagar more than DLR.

[Guitar Ganja Dude]

I don't know anyone who likes Sammy Hagar more than DLR.

Yeah me either David Lee Roth was way better I think. There isn't really much of the songs with Sammy Hagar that I liked too much.

[Badmoon]

I don't know anyone who likes Sammy Hagar more than DLR.

I do, but with Van Halen I like DLR more.

Sammy had a much better voice, tons of range and power. Plus he can play guitar pretty good.

[baggagebassman]

I think rock and metal should be in separate forums because of classic rock. BTW, there's a reason why classic rock is coming back. It kicks ***!! Best genre ever.................

[Badmoon]

The Best Genre - Rock that combines with other genres.

Classic Rock does that, and that's why it's good.

[RageAgainsttheBush]

i like all of the old stuff especisally ccr and led
if yu want to see a new band thats got kindof a classic feel is the vines they have some classic styling

[Badmoon]

The Vines = Not even close to CCR. CCR play a Country like Rock. Vines aren't even close.

[Badmoon]

bump

Wtf, I should never have to bump! This is one of the longest running threads on this board. It should always be on the front page! Now back to work! *Starts laying bricks*

[StreetlightRock]

Erm. Ah. Classic rock isth teh hxc. i is liking bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and a lot more. but how comth no one here mentioneth Guns and Roses, They be teh most rocking classix rock band ever.

Bah. If i didnt do it, so other person would have.

Oh yea, and about playing classic rock in school, Me and my frined are gonna do an performance in school, just an instrumental, but with typical CR type riffs, i was at his place for 6 hours working on it, its gonna be mad.

DVG.

[Lee Harvey Castro]

w00t, i is teh love classic rock!!!!!!1!!111!!!!!!!

In all serious, I am glad classic rock was the music I started with, none of that punk pop nonsence,I started on the more mainstream stuff (zep,floyd) , not to say they are bad but I am glad I delved deeper into the classic rock treasure trove,for I found all sorts of new golden nuggets there (oh so cheesy). Also classic rock is a very undefined genre, as classic rock bands/musicians could take all different influences and styles yet still be counted as classic rock.

No matter how much you love classic rock , you should always be wary to acting like an elitist, and putting modern bands down, saying "everything around these days is ****", for this is stupid as most people who say this weren't alive to experience the original classic rock boom, people never seem to catch on to the fact that there was crap one hit wonders in the 60s , 70s and 80s.

(very cliche but) peace out, rock on :thumb: ......... :upset:

[magicbus]

Yea I was dissapointed that Sammy Hagar would be touring with VH, not David Lee Roth, but at least I still got to see Eddie.

I've noticed something in modern rock. There's no synthesizer. This is probably because these new rock dudes think that they are to "hardcore" to use a synth... If they listen to Deep Purple's synth, they'd like bow down and stuff. I think that the synth is awesome, and it shouldn't be incorporated into dance music, because it's too awesome. (Even though I am a bassist :D ) But, they actually may not want to do that because it seems that classic rock bands seem to be the only ones to use the synth effectively and not make it sound like science fiction dogshit

Depends what genre your're looking at...

Black Metal bands use them quite extensively. Alot of modern bands use organs for that classic sound.

Don't hate on dance music either. Alot of talented composers produce that stuff.

Yeah I quite enjoy some synth. like I wouldn't want it in every song but t's certainly a plus. Dance music is just stupid in my opinon. If I want to dance i'll put on some grateful dead or something.

Arg, don't be so closed minded dude! Open mindedness is one of the things I like about this thread.

Alot of "dance" music trakcs are incredible melodic compositions. Alot of dance music is shyte too, its all a matter of the right artists.

Alot of artists combine them well too (cough cough...Primal Scream...)

[Paranoidd]

Primal Scream, I find, are so underrated by so many people, although I think Screamadelica (sp?) was one of the best albums of the '90s. They're one of these wierd bands that you can't really put into a genre, which makes a nice change.

I absolutely agree. When I listen to their discography, theres such a vast variance in sound, recording technique, etc. I love it. I'm glad Mani Mounfield joined on bass after the Stone Roses broke up, b/c hes wicked.

Heh, never mind being underrated, half I time I say "primal scream," people reply "who?". It's sad :(

[Badmoon]

Arg, don't be so closed minded dude! Open mindedness is one of the things I like about this thread.

Think of it this way, you're telling someone not be so close minded about a genre that has really no right to be in this topic. Which is Classic Rock. So, unless he is close minded about Classic Rock, which he isn't, it is irrelevant.

I hate when people think it's stupid for someone to hate a genre when they haven't heard everything from it. It is quite obvious that he hates Dance music in genre. Can he really help it? So, most Dance music you actually play for him, will not attact him. So, unless he hasn't heard anything, then he shouldn't judge. And knowing him for quite awhile now, I can tell you that he's not the quickest to judge.

[Bluesman522]

Jeez dude, chill. Hating a genre for not hearing everything is not stupid, but hating a genre for only hearing a little bit is. Maybe I made the assumption that he hasn't heard enough. Same way I do when I hear people say "I hate metal" when all they've heard is Linkin Park and Slipknot. Same principle. I'm just one who believes in expanding ones muscial tastes all the time. So despite the fact that it wasn't related to classic rock (as sometimes one single thread may not be...IE the chili peppers thread made a couple posts before mine) I merely thought I'd make the suggestion and let him sort it out for himself, if he was so inclined. I didn't name off a hundred dance music acts I like. The only reason I mentioned Primal Scream is because some of their stuff sounds like old Rolling Stones...to that effect. And they were re-creating classic sounds much better then any of these cheesy bands today, and they were doing it 10 years before and of the cheesy bands today.

I'm not trying to sound or be hostile but your reply came off a little curt to me. I'm trying to simply incite discussion, is all. I like this thread and I don't want to see this thread turn into the Metallica one..."whats your favorite solo" on every page.

There is no greatest. But I like Hendrix. I like Hendrix's songwriting, but I think Clapton at this point really edges him out.

im 14 and i've loved "classic rock" since i was 3...ZZ Top, Van Halen, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Guns N Roses, Nazareth, etc

[Bluesman522]

What about the Doors? Jim Morrison is a prophet, a brillant poet. And their guitarist (forgot his name, ****it) is pretty good. I need to go to Jim's grave in paris.
Edit: Forgot their organ player, my favortie next to steve winwood.

[Paranoidd]

Robbie Kreiger? Hes average at best...innovative though.

Morrison was wicked but very, very f ucked. Good lyrics though. Great frontman.

Ray Manzarek (sp maybe?). Our class might take a trip to Paris next year, if I go I'm going to his grave. That would be so sweet.

[Paranoidd]

Well, I mentioned Primal Scream. They incorporate alot of dance music elements with rock...(the singer was the drummer for the Jesus and Mary Chain, and the bassist used to play for the stone roses, another older band with dance influences you may want to check out). I'd say just download "dirty hits" (their best of CD) and check that out.

I wasn't so much trying to force dance music on anyone as much as to make the point that there are some brilliant compositions hidden underneath some usually cheesy vocals. I probably wouldn't recommend straight house or trance or anything to you, because you probably wouldn't like it, although I would suggest Underworld because everybody seems to like Underworld (you may know them from "born slippy", the title track off of Trainspotting).

But anyways, there was a good point made that this IS a classic rock thread...so on with that :)

I was listening to Rush - Signals the other day, while high, and I was astounded by how "warm" the album was (lush synths used on that album!).

I don't know if you guys smoke but uh...if you do...whats the best thing to listen to while stoned?

Best Zeppelin song while high (IMHO): No quarter

[RNR]

^One of the best zeppelin songs in my opinon :thumb:

[Paranoidd]

Oh yeah. Most definitely one of my favorites. Theres a Tool cover of it as well that is really well done.

Zeppelin was so good, even though they had some dodgy tunes sometimes. Alot of people don't like their funk stuff, but I still feel it.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Zeppelin I. That is just some flat out blues and rock and roll.

I also like Physical Graffiti, which I think gets overlooked sometimes. Custard Pie is the sh it.

[Bluesman522]

The Doors are best when on Acid or other halutionagions (sp?) cause theres so musch imagery in Jims lyrics.

[Paranoidd]

I would imagine so but...acid is bad, I won't touch the stuff. Too many risks. If I ever get signed, and I need to release a really good album, I'll do acid. But I doubt that will happen.

[RNR]

Acid=bad for the guitar playing (cause guitar requires a clear mind). But very very good for lyrics.

[Riovanne]

I heard somewhere that if you drop acid 7 or more times, you are declared legally insane. That would probably explain Flea...and my reasons for avoiding it :p

wow tr00. Not everybody who does too much acid becomes the bass player of RHCP though.

Wearing a Zeppelin shirt doesn't make you cool. Actually that's a reason to hate you in my opinion.

I know what you mean. Some of my friends like to make fun of my choice of music because its not current. I love The Doors, Rush, and Bad Company. I wish I could have been a teenager in the mid to late 70's instead of now when I turn on the radio and hear Good Charlette. It makes me want to vomit. My parents really lucked out with there generations choice of music.

[Paranoidd]

I wish I was born in 1949. I could have been young enough to party in the 60's, old enough to do some major coke and do some disco in the 70's, then be burnt out and depressed in the 80's.

[Badmoon]

Wouldn't you rather try to change music and make a name for yourself now, then be an old guy who possibly made a mark in the 60's.


LIVE IN THE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paranoidd]

But the now sucks :(

There was so much more free drugs and sex in the 60's. Better music. Better clothes. Longer hair. Woodstock.

[RNR]

We have had some great music in the 90s and there is some good current music. Classic rock bands are still coming out with albums, just they aren't so hyped.

[Badmoon]

We have Classic sounding artists. Like Gov't Mule. And you just have to look at some of the Jam Bands or underground bands, or even grunge and alt.

[Paranoidd]

Because they usually aren't on par with previous stuff. I know that we have good stuff today...but man...just imagine to live that 60's vibe, would have been awesome.

OH MAN I just remembered something...I think its badmoon whos the Grateful Dead fan. Check this out: I'm listening to my local classic rock station yesterday (Q107.1) in Toronto, and they have this major announcement. Apparently, back in the day, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin (!) toured Canada on a train. From Toronto, to Calgary, then back up to Winnipeg, or something like that. Well, apparently, as you might expect, there was lots of drugs, music, and other...things...going on. Apparently, there was also a video camera present. Up until now, the tapes have been locked away by somebody because they may have some stuff on there thats..umm...incriminating. It's not like they hid their drug use, but who knows whats on there. So Q107 has supposedly "aquired" these tapes and is having a private screening but you have to win tickets.

http://www.q107.com

I tried last night but didn't get em :(

[Badmoon]

:) Cool :)

They'll probably eventually be released.

[guitarbite]

I definately hear ya on the classic rock coming back thing, i mean just for an example: the film school of rock. After watching that any person has the erge to go whack on some led zepplin or ac/dc (for those about to rock).
theres no better music than the greats of classic rock. im only 16 and i no what ur saying, most of my music collection consists of queen, led zepplin, pink floid, ac/dc, much of the 80s rock (not quite punk tho), and random songs that were all written during or before the early 80s.
personaly im luvin ths "re-rise" of classic and prog-rock so if i may say a few words...................................
Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to recieve
We are the dealers
We'll give you everything you need
Hail hail to the good times
'Cause rock has got to ride away
We ain't no legend, ain't no cause
We're just living for today

For those about to rock, we salute you!!!

I just want to go party, and I heard Calgary is a good place to do it.

[RNR]

Yep. Cowboys=teh gay. Lots of other rock/country music type clubs. The people like to drink, partying and drinking goes way up when

1. Nickelback comes cause they need money.
2. A good band comes.
3. the flames make the playoffs.
4. Stampede!!!!! :chug:

Calgary=party city (sort of).

[Paranoidd]

Flames...heh.

I have to say even though I'm a loyal leaf fan (and Canadian), I wanted to see Dave Andreychuk get that cup. You guys put up a good fight though.

[magicbus]

Man I hate being gone for awhile. Missed all the conversations. On that note:

I like David Bowie.
No Quarter is a cool song.
I have a Jim Morrison shirt that has the "American Poet" deal on it.
Living in the now is alright.

Hopefully that covers it.

[RNR]

What are your thoughts on Calgary? That's the most recent conversation even though it has little to do with classic rock.

[ILOVEFLEA]

If there are so many people out there that like such ****ing good music,
why do all the radio stations play a bunch of **** ****ed up bull****? I havent seen a good band come out since at least the 90's, and i miss a lotta old ****. what the **** is happenin?

heh.

[BillCosby]

I like David Bowie.

It's a shame he had that heart problem so he had to cancel the rest of his tour. Luckily I saw him before it happened, and he was amazing. (Even from the nosebleeds ;) )

Yea it does suck, hope he gets better.

I don't like them because the wings lost to em and i'm from Detroit, but other than that i don't mind them.

[Paranoidd]

Well I don't like Detroit b/c two years in a row you've made me lose money due to premature exits in the playoffs. :D

But back to classic rock...

Some friends of mine and I were discussing what Jimi Hendrix would be doing these days had he not choked on his own vomit.

My opinion was he'd have done some psychedelic rock/electronic stuff in the 80's, but totally gone back to straight blues in the 90's.

May be a stupid discussion, but what do you think?

[Badmoon]

Some friends of mine and I were discussing what Jimi Hendrix would be doing these days had he not choked on his own vomit.

He'd be dead. Can you actually imagine someone with a death wish like him stop using drugs?

[Paranoidd]

Hrmm.

/me tries to think of famous junkies who aren't dead.

/me keeps thinking.

It's possible he could have lived...Keith Richards is still alive.

[RockAndRoll]

It's possible, but hey it didn't happen. I always wonder what he would do next, but i wonder more about the doors than anyone else.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

very true lol.

Ive been listening to nothing but Jethro Tull for about 3 days now, what albums do you all like by them? i prefer their folky tunes like off of "songs from the wood" "heavy horses" and "stormwatch"....also "a minstrel in the gallery", i have all their albums and enjoy each one in a differnet way just the 70's were really the highlight for them including "stand up" and "warchild". what are your opinions on the band and songs?

[Bass+Fingers+Amp=Groove]

Jimi Hendrix went to my highschool :amaze:

[Badmoon]

^They're incredibly unique. But, I only have Aqualungand I love that. So, I'll try to check out the other albums :)

[VoodooChild]

Hey everybody, it's the glorius return of me. YAY!!! I don't know if you noticed but I've been gone for about 2-3 weeks because of my "awesome" computrer which crashed. **** thing took a ****ing century to fix. ANyway thought, I'm back and let's let the good times roll. Oh, moon I see you reviewd Undermind. I bought the album finaly but I guess it's too late now :upset: Well, I gotta go catch up on some posting.

I'll see you around the bend...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^They're incredibly unique. But, I only have Aqualungand I love that. So, I'll try to check out the other albums :)

myself, along with many other diehard Tull fans, aggree that "aqualung" is a misleding album. everyone gets it and its not the best description of the bands sound. Even Ian's solo albums (secret language or birds and rupi's dance) are alot better! hehe. Its thier biggest hit album, but we all know that dosent mean its their greatest. if you got any Tull ?'s lemme know!!

[VoodooChild]

I got Benefit, This Was, Aqualung, and Thick As A Brick. In my book they all get a 5/5. I don't think I'm really a die-hard fan but I still like Tull a lot. I agree that Aqualung doesnt really show the true side of the band. IMO it's stil good though. My favorite album is This Was. I think it shows the band at it's best working with the blues. Mick Abrahams does an awesome job playing guitar and writing and that gives me another reason to love this album. Well, that's my $.02

[RockAndRoll]

I only own Aqualung but I've heard War child, Thick as a brick and a few songs from other albums. They're an amazing band. (yay voodoo's back)

[Missouri_Kid]

Classic rock is my favorite genre of rock. My favorite bands of that genre are The Doobie Brothers, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd(the classic rock radio station in St. Louis calls them classic rock, so thats why I included them), Jimi Hendrix, Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band, The Beatles, The Eagles, the list could go on for hours so I'll stop here.

[Badmoon]

Welcome back Voodoo :wave:

Sorry about the review, but it was either you or I do it, or some other unkown n00b would have. Cause I saw discussion on it.

[Vili]

The kids in my school don't seem to like Classic Rock :upset:
In my class the boys listen to rap or Children of Bodom :P

Meh favorite Classic Rock bands in no particular order:

AC/DC
Guns N' Roses
Led Zeppelin
Queen

[Riovanne]

Hrmm.

I'm convinced that Keith Richards was dead 20 years ago and that somebody is just animating his corpse.

[RockAndRoll]

he looks dead.

[Paranoidd]

The only things left after world war three will be lawyers, cockroaches, and Keith Richards.

[RockAndRoll]

yet another great summer concert experience for me....

tonight (from 5-11) I'll be seeing, David Clayton Thomas with blood sweat and tears, randy bachman, lighthouse and voodoo lounge. Tommorow i'll be seeing alice cooper, foghat, edgar winter and helix. and saturday I see april wine, john kay and steppenwolf, honeymoon suite and goddo. :thumb::chug:

[Paranoidd]

Goddo! Holy smokes...:lol:

He played a bar not five minutes from my house last year...but I had to work.

Edgar Winter should be cool, but I prefer Johnny Winter (his brother) he had some nice bluesy stuff.

Lots of Canadians there :D
