Classic Rock

[Badmoon]

I reviewed it awhile ago.

[Broken Arrow]

And the album picture and name in the top right corner if you're using windows media player.
Yeah I found it. Its black and white.

[Illmatic]

Go Vikings!

Nonono, go Pats.

[Badmoon]

Everyone check out the original post in the Bluegrass thread.

[Broken Arrow]

Nonono, go Pats.
/vomits

Ive listened to this song like 5 times. I can't get enough.

[Badmoon]

The mandolin riff is extremely catchy, and upbeat. :D

[Illmatic]

/vomits

What's wrong with the Pats? Jealous of our success?

[thickasabrick]

Great songs Badmoon.

I wanna start my own bluegrass band but I haven't found anyone within two decades of my age who plays it. We should start an internet bluegrass band.

[Broken Arrow]

What's wrong with the Pats? Jealous of our success?
Yeah. :upset:

Internet Bluesgrass:lol:

[Johnny B. Good]

Great songs Badmoon.

I wanna start my own bluegrass band but I haven't found anyone within two decades of my age who plays it. We should start an internet bluegrass band.
This is kind of irrelevant, but have you seen the episode of family guy where Stewie has a bluegrass band? It's very funny :lol:

[thickasabrick]

This is kind of irrelevant, but have you seen the episode of family guy where Stewie has a bluegrass band? It's very funny :lol:
and then at the end of the song he yells "I've got blisters on my fingers!" :lol:

can someone please go to the "Need the Name of a Song etc" thread and answer my question. I'm sure someone knows the song I'm talking about.

[Illmatic]

Mommy, mommy! I want a mullet!

[Badmoon]

Great songs Badmoon.

That'd be cool to do on a yahoo chat, but I've lost my finger picks. And because of that, I haven't used them in awhile. So my skills have dropped a bit. :(

[thickasabrick]

how does yahoo chat work? i don't have a computer mic or anything like that, i wish i did. does anyone else played bluegrass around here? if there was a way we could each record separate parts or solos, and then pieced them together it would be cool, but it might not sound good cuz it would be hard to match them up.

edit- and is that some sort of Terrapin hoedown in your avatar?

It's live playing. Get a microphone and we can have a slide guitar jam, it'd be sweet.

And my avatar is from the cover of Terrapin Station. And my usertitle states a line from the first verse.

I also just made a yahoo account.

[Woodstock]

W00t, the Tsunami show is on. Clapton will probably be the last on, though.

[magicbus]

If I can find my old Yahoo account, you guys wanna jam?

[Badmoon]

that'd be interesting

[Woodstock]

How do you do it?

[magicbus]

Download yahoo messenger, but you need a mic or a way to direct input your guitar into your computer.

Also the concert is being webcasted:

http://launch.yahoo.com/promos/tsunamirelief/

[Badmoon]

Brian Wilson is on....sweet.

[magicbus]

Is that sarcastic? Cause I didn't really like him.

[Badmoon]

Why would I be sarcastic?

Brian Wilson owns.

[thickasabrick]

i love Brian Wilson!

[Woodstock]

Elton John just went on also. It seemed like Brian Wilson didn't know where he was.

[Badmoon]

Magicbus, what's your yahoo I.D.?

[Woodstock]

John Mayer is playing Bold As Love. Nice.

He did a great job, great solo.

[magicbus]

Magicbus587. And I missed John Mayer. :mad:

[magicbus]

Clapton and Waters just played Wish You Were Here. :amaze:

[Woodstock]

And Clapton owned the acoustic solo.

[guitrguy]

What is it on????

[Woodstock]

What is it on????
NBC, the Tsunami relief concert. But you missed John Mayer's rendition of Bold As Love also.

[Schyma]

Is it good because I cant watch? :(

[Creedence Clearwater]

What is it on????

True that......

[DeusExMachina]

Elton John just went on also. It seemed like Brian Wilson didn't know where he was.

That's because Brian Wilson is insane.

[Badmoon]

Okay, this may bring some discussion.

What is your favorite (Classic Rock) epic?

You know, songs like Stair Way to Heaven, Wharf Rat, Terrapin Station, Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Riley, The End, etc.


Mine - Terrapin Station

[Woodstock]

Mine: The Kinks-Lola

It's so simple yet perfect.

[Johnny B. Good]

That's because Brian Wilson is insane.
No, he just has permafry from all that acid he did back in he day

[Johnny B. Good]

Mine: The Kinks-Lola

It's so simple yet perfect.
"I wish I could Fly Like Superman" is also a good one

[Schyma]

The Same Old Rock- Roy Harper

[Jam2Me]

Mine - Terrapin Station

Allman Brothers Band - Midnight Rider

Great music to listen to while I run, I just run like a champ while I'm listening to it.

EDIT: /offtopic How come I got repped by like 4 people for about 100 points, then yesterday repped by two people for about 150 points!?

[lunch998]

Gotta be Achilles. It's so....epic.

Edit: Does My Generation count? I think that is one of the most important statement songs ever.

[Woodstock]

A person's amount of rep determines how much rep they give away.

[Schyma]

When a person has say 2000 rep points he reps someone and gives 2% of that. I just repped you by the way. How many do you have?

[Johnny B. Good]

A person's amount of rep determines how much rep they give away.
Do you get rep for giving rep?
also alot of Jethro Tull's music are good epic songs

[lunch998]

Thick As a Brick is epic.

[Schyma]

No I wish I would've had stars long ago. I need 1,5000 posts to get 4 stars.

[Schyma]

Its All Right Ma (Im only Bleeding), Hurricane, Hard Rains Gonna Fall, Like A Rolling Stone....etc -Bob Dylan

[DeusExMachina]

Eh? Woodstock, that didn't make any sense. To me, at least.

But, I think how it works is, the more rep points you have, the more a rep from you is worth. I think that's what Woodstock was trying to say, but hopefully not quite so confusing.

[Woodstock]

Yeah, that's what I meant. It made sense to me :p

Think of rep as money, the more money you have, the more you're worth.

[lunch998]

I'm rich, bitch!

*rep party*

[RockAndRoll]

Loving the avatar woodstock

[Woodstock]

Loving the avatar woodstock
Yours is still pretty good also, just replace the Supertramp with something else.

[Johnny B. Good]

Supertramp isn't that bad

[RockAndRoll]

you don't like supertramp?

[Schyma]

How did you convert it (avatar) into slides?

[Woodstock]

I don't think they're bad, just not a fan.

[Badmoon]

How did you convert it (avatar) into slides?

I believe I made that one for him. And all I did was use a GIF animator.

[Schyma]

I believe I made that one for him. And all I did was use a GIF animator.
A what?

[Schyma]

Hey Badmoon is Warts And All (vol 1 & 2) by Moe any good?

[DeusExMachina]

A gif is an image file that can loop like that.

[RockAndRoll]

I believe I made that one for him. And all I did was use a GIF animator.
Ya I remember it quite well.

[Schyma]

Does anyone like Love (the band)?

[magicbus]

Haven't heard they, but I do love The Band.

And my favorite epic would be hard to choose, but Echoes is up there, and The End sounded like a nice choice. Close To The Edge would be good too.

And to find out how much rep you give, divide your total rep by 50.

[Woodstock]

Abbey Road should be winning, what's going on?

[jpj]

My favorite Epic would have to be Dogs. Does Mountain Jam count as being "epic" or just long?

I missed Clapton on the relief thing :(, but I did see Trey Anastasio on Austin City Limits :)

[Woodstock]

Mountain Jam might count, I don't see why it wouldn't.

[thickasabrick]

Abbey Road should be winning, what's going on?

i dont mind Abbey Road not winning, because all lot of non classic rock fans are gonna vote Tool. Plus their are some other great albums up there, like Tommy. But Abbey Road should definitely be in the top three, which it isn't right now.


edit- Screw you Woodstock, you got the 20000th post!! i missed it by one post and i didn't even realize it! darn.

[Kingadamx]

Does anyone like Love (the band)?
Yeah, I have Forever Changes. That is an excellent album.

[RNR]

****it. I missed that concerts. All I say was the Canadian version which can't compare :(

Although Rush pwnzerzed.

[Broken Arrow]

I saw it and taped John Mayer and the Roger & Eric thingy.:)

So did you guys jam?

[Woodstock]

Sweet, I got the 20,000 post! I didn't even notice.

[Badmoon]

Mountain Jam might count, I don't see why it wouldn't.

Well, it's not like their is any intenisty growth, or anything really different, it's just long.

Hey Badmoon is Warts And All (vol 1 & 2) by Moe any good?

Well, there's actually three volumes, and I would reccomend you buy something by moe. that is recorded first. But out of those, the best would be Volume 2. I recommend you just go to Nugs and look at their bootlegs.

So did you guys jam?

nope

[Woodstock]

Just because it doesn't involve build-up or intensity doesn't mean it isn't an epic.

[Broken Arrow]

Just because it doesn't involve build-up or intensity doesn't mean it isn't an epic.
That's what I thought an epic was? Oh well.

[Woodstock]

That's what I thought an epic was? Oh well.
Usually it does, but Mountain Jam is an exception.

[Broken Arrow]

Usually it does, but Mountain Jam is an exception.
I see it more as a nice jam.

My favourite Epics-L.A. Woman, The End, Dogs, Echoes, SOYCD, Over the Hills and Far Away.

[Badmoon]

Just because it doesn't involve build-up or intensity doesn't mean it isn't an epic.

Well, an epic would have to surpass the regular. And since "Mountain Jam" is just a jam (basically), and The Allmans jam a lot, it doesn't really surpass much.

[Woodstock]

Well, ok, an epic is a subjective definition. But a 33 minute jam to me seems like an epic.

[Broken Arrow]

Well, ok, an epic is a subjective definition. But a 33 minute jam to me seems like an epic.
Fair Enough.;)

[van_halen5150]

van halen kicks a** so does thin lizzy, def leppard, Guns n' roses (only appetite for destruction) and Aerosmith used to kick a** untill they sold out. those are my favourite classic rock bands

You need some lessons.

[Broken Arrow]

You need some lessons.
Man, Van Halen and Aerosmith aren't bad.

[Woodstock]

Man, Van Halen and Aerosmith aren't bad.
Not great in my book either.

Edit: Is the bottom of the R&M page changed for you guys too?

[RNR]

Let him like what he wants.

[slowhand]

Quick question...

How did Pink Floyd got their name?

[RockAndRoll]

Ya, everyone has a different cup of tea.

[Woodstock]

Quick question...

How did Pink Floyd got their name?
From the last names of 2 famous jazz musicians?

[Broken Arrow]

Quick question...

How did Pink Floyd got their name?
2 old bluesmen.

I forget there names though.

[RockAndRoll]

I did not know that.

[Broken Arrow]

From the last names of 2 famous jazz musicians?
I believe they were actually their first names.

[slowhand]

Thanks. I was wondering about that.

Anyways, I just found out this:

-Eric Clapton has personally confirmed that the reunion is on - 4 shows in May at the Royal Albert Hall. "Eric Clapton made the announcement on BBC Radio 2's Johnnie Walker show. The shows will be recorded. Eric also said that tickets will go on sale soon."-

I wish I could go...

[Woodstock]

I'm 62.7% it was last names.

[Broken Arrow]

Thanks. I was wondering about that.

Recorded Audio or Audio and video?

[slowhand]

Didn't say. But I'm guessing is both.

[BillCosby]

Fun fact:

My friend's middle name is Floyd, named after Pink Floyd

[Broken Arrow]

I'm 62.7% it was last names.
Im %100 they were first names.

[Illmatic]

Not great in my book either.

Van Halen with Roth was a great pop-rock group. Nothing transcendant, but they sure knew how to write a tune.

[Schyma]

Quick question...

How did Pink Floyd got their name?
Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

I missed 20000. :upset:

[Badmoon]

I like Van Halen.

[Schyma]

I like Van Halen.
I dont. :cool:

[Against Miik!]

I like Van Halen.

But they aren't classic rock so stfu



j/k, but seriously...

[RNR]

I dont. :cool:

/me cares.

[Johnny B. Good]

There's nothing wrong with Van Halen

[jpj]

I like Van Halen.

Today I got Highway 61 Revisited and Hot Tuna-Extended Versions: The Encore Collections (recorded live).

[Johnny B. Good]

Hot Tuna rocks!

[Woodstock]

What was Hot Tuna's most famous song? I know I've heard it, but I can't remember it.

[magicbus]

Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

I missed 20000. :upset:

Gah! I knew that! I hoped nobody said the names yet.


PS. I got the Classic Albums DSOTM movie today.

[Iris]

What do you guys think of the Tragically Hip?

[jpj]

What was Hot Tuna's most famous song? I know I've heard it, but I can't remember it.
I didn't know they had a famous song. Badmoon might know though, and yes they do rock. Funky #7 is one kickass song.

[RNR]

What do you guys think of the Tragically Hip?

I think they're awesome. They're simply just a great band.

[Illmatic]

Today I got Highway 61 Revisited

About damn time.

[jpj]

About damn time.
I know :(


And I don't think I've heard much from The Tragically Hip.

[Badmoon]

Who sings for the Dire Straits?

[magicbus]

Some cool guy.


EDIT: Mark Knopfler! I thought he just played guitar but he does both!

[Badmoon]

Ohh, I also thought he just played guitar. He sounds like Bob Dylan.

So, I'll be posting to more samples in a few minutes,

Everyone like the David Grisman one?

[ATM]

Knopfler is an amazing guitarist.

[jpj]

Ohh, I also thought he just played guitar. He sounds like Bob Dylan.

So, I'll be posting to more samples in a few minutes,

Now that I think about it he does sound like Dylan, and I really liked the Grisman one.


/adds Hot Dawg to CD list

[Johnny B. Good]

Sultans of Swing is such a good song

[Badmoon]

Okay, here are two of my favorite songs off of Phil Lesh & Friends' There & Back Again.


The album features
---------------------
Phil Lesh - Bass*
Warren Haynes - Guitar*
Jimmy Herring - Guitar*
Rob Barraco - Keyboard*
John Molo - Drums

* = Current members of The Dead.


Liberty

http://s15.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=21Z5UWVGU2ELQ2CWWTFEU9DLV7

"Liberty" was written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter a short time before Garcia's death. Each guitarist plays various lead lines. I also believe Barraco takes the lead vocals.


Patchwork Quilt

http://s15.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0O4ACF23LZVNF3HZ6550FOTXS6

"Patchwork Quilt" is written and sung by Warren Haynes. The song is about Jerry Garcia. Take a listen to the lyrics, they are extremely interesting.

[RNR]

This is like a classic rock/jam thread now.

Which is a good thing :)

[Badmoon]

Check out the guitar playing. Warren and Jimmy both use practically the same tone, but other than the tone being fantastic, the guitar playing is fabulous.

[Woodstock]

Patchwork Quilt is much better than Liberty. Liberty reminded me of Paul McCartney's Freedom.

[Badmoon]

Nah, "Liberty" never gets old and is happy. "Patchwork Quilt" is sad. So, happy > sad.

:)

[jpj]

"There's a banjo moon in a tie-dye sky"

For some reason that line made chuckle. And Patchwork Quilt is a lot better than Liberty.

[Woodstock]

Nah, "Liberty" never gets old and is happy. "Patchwork Quilt" is sad. So, happy > sad.

:)
Nice edit. I'm too fast for you. :p

[Badmoon]

Thanks :)

[jpj]

Reason: Woodstock's a dick
:lol:

Now, now children.

[Broken Arrow]

I was watching the Simpsons and Homer and Abe were smugling prescription drugs from Canada and they started playing Whitte Rabbit. Then they started Floating around and prescription drug warnings were flying passed them. I laughed.

[Woodstock]

Haha, that's great.

So, does everyone like the new CD review site?

[jpj]

I personally don't care for it.

[Illmatic]

I could live without it.

[Woodstock]

It's a good set up, just too bland of a design.

[thickasabrick]

oh man Badmoon I downloaded that song Liberty and I was expecting like the Bluegrass song Liberty (you know which one i'm talking about right?), i was very suprised. great song anyways though, i'd comment on the great bass, but then i'd feel bad for leaving out the cool piano, and guitar parts. great song.

Oh and Woodstock, I can't send you that John Mayer version of The Wind Cries Mary, I used to have it on Kazaa and i realized that it got deleted when I got rid of Kazaa. Sorry about that.

Have I told you guys that last night was the best night of my life? Life is great. I love you guys.

[jpj]

Ummm...I love you too...

Aw, too bad. His Bold As Love performance was still pretty good.

Nice to see you're in a good mood. What happened?

[RNR]

Have I told you guys that last night was the best night of my life? Life is great. I love you guys.

/druged up

[jpj]

Everyone check their PBS station, mine has Trey Anastasio on it.

[BillCosby]

This thread gives me rep envy. :upset:

[Ulysses]

Anyone like Love - Forever Changes, any thoughts on the album?

[Jam2Me]

I hope Derek and the Dominos wins, that's an awesome CD. Anyone have the Derek and the Dominos Live At Fillmore CD? I gotta get that soon.

[thickasabrick]

May I ask why it was the best night of your life?

K well I used to go out with this girl, and it was very serious...we dated for about a year or so and I had never liked a girl as much as I liked her. Unfortunately she moved away, and we lost touch. I was really wondering what happened to her, since it's been like two years since we talked...

so I was at a party Saturday night, everyone was drinking but I wasnt in the mood, so I asked a complete stranger (the only guy i didn't know at the party) if he wanted to come get stoned with me, my treat. So we are smoking up in a car listening to some Pink Floyd, and it turns out he just moved to my city. It turns out he went to the same city and school that my old gf went to, and they were good friends. He told me they talked all the time, and she still talked about me nonstop and told him what a great guy I am. So now me and her are starting to talk again and things haven't been better in my life. Plus the party was fun as hell.

Note: I notice that was very off topic, but since some of you asked, I felt I had to answer. Classic Rock value of that post: getting stoned to Pink Floyd is fun.

edit- I haven't heard the complete Derek and the Dominoes album, so I went with LA Woman.

[DeusExMachina]

Awww.... thats all sweet and stuff. *teary eyed emo moment*

Getting stoned to Pink Floyd is fun indeed. I don't really do drugs anymore, but something on my list of things to do before I die is to go to an opera on acid. I think that would be the most unbelievable experience ever.

I also voted LA Woman. I'm not a big fan of Layla (and other assorted love songs) They butchered Little Wing so badly...

[Woodstock]

They didn't butcher Little Wing. Bell Bottom Blues is a classic, and that's with Layla!! How could you not vote for it?

[thickasabrick]

As I said in the voting thread, I haven't heard that entire album. Just a few songs. I didn't know they did Little Wing. I love that song, do they do it justice? Bell Bottom blues is on of the first songs I ever heard from Clapton, but I actually just thought it was from his solo career.

Who is all in Derek and the Dominoes? And when were they together? I really know nothing about them.


edit- And how the hell did Abbey Road get sixth place in the Group G poll!! thats an atrocity.

[Woodstock]

Abbey Road got 6th because everyone voted for Tommy, pfft.

[Badmoon]

Hey! Yell at Livewired for voting for Wish you Were Here. I at least picked a good underrated album.

[ATM]

Any Marshall Tucker Band fans here?

[magicbus]

I picked WYWH! And Derek and the Dominoes.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I baught Neil Young's greatest hits the other day.
I liked :thumb:

[Schyma]

Has anyone herad Forever Changes (by Love)?

[Woodstock]

I should've picked Abbey Road! And Derek and the Dominoes.
Fixed.

[Badmoon]

Has anyone herad Forever Changes (by Love)?

Yes.

Just bought...

The Beatles - Revolver
Leo Kottke - 6 and 12 String Guitar

[Schyma]

Yes.

Just bought...

The Beatles - Revolver
Leo Kottke - 6 and 12 String Guitar
Any Good?

[Badmoon]

Haven't finished them yet :)

[Jam2Me]

Any Marshall Tucker Band fans here?
HELL YEAH!!!

[Broken Arrow]

I baught Neil Young's greatest hits the other day.
I liked :thumb:
yay I sent you your first Neil song.

/spreads the Neil to another person

Yeah I voted for WYWH because it was the best album on the list.

[magicbus]

Yeah I voted for WYWH because it was the best album on the list.

Me too. I'm just not diggin Abbey Road. Sure, I love The Beatles, but I've tried a few times to listen to it and I'm just not gettin it yet.

[Johnny B. Good]

I voted Tommy because its an awesome album that deverses to go on and I knew it would get little votes because of all the fanboys

[Illmatic]

Yeah I voted for WYWH because it was the best album on the list.

Same reason why I voted for "Are You Experienced?".

[Schyma]

Me too. I'm just not diggin Abbey Road. Sure, I love The Beatles, but I've tried a few times to listen to it and I'm just not gettin it yet.

I agree I mean I like a few songs off of it but I just dont dig it.

[jpj]

So today I got Primus-Sailing the Seas of Cheese, The Velvet Underground and Nico, George Harrison-All Things Must Pass, and The Grateful Dead-Aoxomoxoa.


And Abbey Road is easily my favorite Beatles album followed by Sgt. Peppers. I seem to have the problem magicbus has with Abbey Road, but with Rubber Soul.

[Woodstock]

I think Abbey Road is an absolute perfect album. No flaws whatsoever.

[slowhand]

As I said in the voting thread, I haven't heard that entire album. Just a few songs. I didn't know they did Little Wing. I love that song, do they do it justice? Bell Bottom blues is on of the first songs I ever heard from Clapton, but I actually just thought it was from his solo career.

edit- And how the hell did Abbey Road get sixth place in the Group G poll!! thats an atrocity.

I preffer their version of Little Wing than Hendrix. It sound more 'epic,' though that's not the precise word for it. It's longer, but I think it's good.

And Derek and the Dominoes are Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals), Bobby Whitlock (organ), Carl Radle (bass) and Jim Gordon (drums). Duane Allman was a part-time Domino and Dave Mason played with them once. This was just after Blind Faith. When Clapton was touring with Blind Faith, he started to hang out with their opening act, Delaney and Bonnie, whose other members of the Dominoes were the backing band. Later on, when Delaney and Bonnie were in England, Clapton joined them and performed as a band known as "Friends," as a way to not get noticed (Harrison played with them too, after Clapton suggested it to be a way to be on stage but without the burden of being a Beatle).

They all played on Harrison's All Things Must Pass and then became a band. Before a show, they asked them to name the band so they can be properly introduced. They had given Eric the nickname of "Derek" and one of them said, "Call us Derek and the Dynamics." But when they were being introduced, the guy called them "Derek and the Dominoes" and it stuck.

When their album, Layla and other assorted love songs, was released, it didn't chart the list because not to many people ventured to buy a double LP from a band they didn't know. This was because Eric Clapton refused to put his name of it. When it wa re-released and everyone knew it was Clapton it was a whole different story.

Like Blind Faith before them, they only had one studio album, since the second one blow up in their faces (because Eric and Jim Gordon had a row, and there were a lot of drugs and alcohol around).

I love the album. Very good. A lot of blues stuff, and mellow, yet still having a certain edge to it.

PS: Today I bought my first Clapton shirt at Hot Topic. It's awesome.

[Distant Echoes]

I think Sgt Peppers is better then Abbey Road...but i think thats mostly because i have a thing for adoring all concept albums ever made in rock n roll. Abbey road is great though, i dont like Octapusses garden much, but i love I Want You and The End. I think most people that arent so familiar with the Beatles look at that album and want it over Sgt Peppers because
a)the historical Album Art
b)Come Together is on it
but i dont stop them from picking it over beatles albums, its just as great

[Woodstock]

I actually think Blind Faith's album is a little better then Derek & The Dominoes' album.

[Distant Echoes]

Ive been seeing more and more of them every day, everywere i go. I think i need to get more Clapton CDs...im not really going for slowhand (the album) anymore. Any suggestions?

[Schyma]

So today I got Primus-Sailing the Seas of Cheese, The Velvet Underground and Nico, George Harrison-All Things Must Pass, and The Grateful Dead-Aoxomoxoa.


And Abbey Road is easily my favorite Beatles album followed by Sgt. Peppers. I seem to have the problem magicbus has with Abbey Road, but with Rubber Soul.

Really Rubber Soul is the turning point in which they explored their first non love songs.

[slowhand]

I actually think Blind Faith's album is a little better then Derek & The Dominoes' album.

Meh, at some points. If Blind Faith would have rehearsed more then it would have been a much better album. I was also let down when Clapton didn't sing on "Pressence of the Lord." His vocals would have made it much better (note, I'm not saying Winwood didn't do a great job with the vocals, I just think that Clapton would have fitted the song better).

And if you're looking for a good blues guitar, you can't argue that Derek and the Dominoes is what you would pick up.

Yeah, if you're a bigger fan of the blues, then go with Derek & The Dominoes.

Clapton solo, or any of Clapton's work?

[Schyma]

Yeah, if you're a bigger fan of the blues, then go with Derek & The Dominoes.
I'm probably the biggist blues fan here and I perfer Blind Faith over Derek & The Dominoes.

[slowhand]

I'm probably the biggist blues fan here and I perfer Blind Faith over Derek & The Dominoes.

Wow, I'm in shock.

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Still, I'm surprised that Derek and the Dominoes is second place on the poll.

[RNR]

I always thought that Blind Faith was kind of weak. A few good tunes but certainly nothing special. Everything clapton did was better.

[slowhand]

Well, I think that Clapton guitar work really shined on Derek and the Dominoes, but he did good with Blind Faith. And Cream's Crossroad has no equal.

... Have... to stop... babbling.. about ... Clapton...

[magicbus]

I haven't listened to much Derek and the Dominoes or Blind Faith, so I can't really say who I like better. I just know I love Clapton.

[slowhand]

If you love Clapton, you have to pick up those CD's. Many concider Derek and the Dominoes Clapton's finest.

[jpj]

Whenever I put CD's onto my computer it puts the CD into a genre, and it put VU and Nico in "Ambient/Dream Pop". Can someone give me examples of other bands from this genre, or is my computer one of those fags that makes up genres to look cool.

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah it was. I love it.

Woodstock, you have to stop saying so many albums are perfect or flawless. Because there are obviously som,e problems with it. Just not many.;)

My thoughts exactly.



I haven't heard the original of Crossroads so I can't really comment, but Cream's version is so kickass I don't know how they could've butchered it.

[Woodstock]

Yeah it was. I love it.

Find me a flaw in Abbey Road and I'll give it a second thought ;)

Im sorry but nobody covers Robert Johnson like that should get away with it.

Check out Br3ad Man's review on that Zwan album. On a comment on the review, someone question the genre (Dream Pop) and he explains it.

I'll do that now :thumb:


EDIT: After reading his description of it VU is kinda "Dream Pop".

[magicbus]

WAH?!?! Butchered Crossroads? Not at all. Robert Johnson would've loved it. And I have the Derek and the Dominoes cd, just haven't listened to much of it.

[Schyma]

Yes, Velvet Underground. The only thing is he said it originated in the early 80's and they were around long before that.

It lost its bluesy feeling I mean its to fast, the vocals have no delta bluesy feeling to them, its not meant to be spazy like that and it shoud be acoustic.

[thickasabrick]

I think Abbey Road is an absolute perfect album. No flaws whatsoever.

I actually might have to agree with you. I didn't really understand the album until a few months ago. I bought it, and listened to it twice and didn't like it. Then a waited a while, and I listened to it again...and suddenly it was my favourite Beatles album. One of the best albums ever.

And to everyone who is arguing about Crossroads...it is a cover song! The whole reason an artist does a cover of a song is because they feel they have something different to add to it, give it a new twist. If everyone made their covers sound exactly like the original, what would be the point of even redoing the song? I like both versions of Crossroads, and they are definitely different, but it's not like Clapton ruined it. He's just offering his views on how the song could sound, he's not shoving it down your throat.

edit- actually, i really like cover songs. Even if one of the versions is much worse, it's still interesting to see how a band can take a song and change it to make it their own. It seemed to work for Zeppelin.

I dont think you understand. I get your point but I dont think you've had someone cover a song that you really enjoy and then they turn it into something you hate.

[Against Miik!]

I dont think you understand. I get your point but I dont think you've had someone cover a song that you really enjoy and then they turn it into something you hate.

Well a lot of people do like it. Last time I checked, Clapton wasn't put on this Earth to serve you, so get over it.

[thickasabrick]

I dont think you understand. I get your point but I dont think you've had someone cover a song that you really enjoy and then they turn it into something you hate.

Well I have had that happen to me. But I never really made a big deal out of it, because it was usually covered by a crappy band anyway. Except for the Chili Peppers version of Sub. Homesick Blues, that one kinda made me think twice why they even bothered covering the song.

I understand what you're saying though.

valid opinion.

Woodstock was held only a few kilometres (metric unit for miles:lol:)) from Bob Dylan's house Big Pink. I think I read, or maybe just imagined that Woodstock was, amongst other things, designed to bring Dylan out of his reclusive lifestyle and back into the world's view.

Someones been reading Chronicles! Or just knows alot about Dylan anyway. Either way :thumb:

edit- and I have only heard a few songs by Canned Heat, but I've loved what I've heard. They were also one of Jim Morrisons favourite bands, along with Pink Floyd (pre 1971 of course).

[Johnny B. Good]

Jim Morrison is one cool guy

[BillCosby]

Jim Morrison is one cool guy


*was

[RNR]

He's as dead as hair metal.

*that means that he's really dead

[thickasabrick]

Do you know what's an interesting question to ponder...

You know how people always say famous people aren't dead, like Elvis, Jim Morrison, Tupac etc. If they really faked their deaths, do you think they are dead by now anyways? Like I'm sure Elvis would be, and Jim Morrison defnitely couldn't last much longer the way he was living, hopefully Tupac really did get shot.

anyone ever think about that? Or do you just all beleive they are dead and that's that?

[Illmatic]

...why do you hope Tupac really did get shot?

****ing asshole.

[thickasabrick]

If he wanted to live "the thug life", get involved in gangs and drug deals and violence..then he deserves to be shot. Anyone involved in that kind of stuff deserves to get shot, just to teach them a lesson. It brings down society and causes unneccesary problems for the world, and flushes our hard earned money down the drain. Tupac admitted to be involved in gangs, and carried a gun, and was a suspect in a gang murder. If he was living like that, he wasn't any real use to the world, just a waste of space. He deserved to get shot, it's not my fault he died from his choices in life.

edit- or do you support drive by shootings, prostution, rape, murder, dealing heroin to kids etc etc? If so, I apoligize for being a "****ing asshole."

[Illmatic]

Nobody "deserves" to die, with a few exceptions.

I'll bet you're a Christian.

[PinkFreud]

...why do you hope Tupac really did get shot?

****ing asshole.

calm down man. dont have a ****ing heart attack.

[Illmatic]

I take umbrage when I see that someone wishes someone else was dead.

[thickasabrick]

I'm the furthest thing from a Christian you've ever seen. Actually, I was born a Christian, but my minister (or whatever you call them) asked my mom if I would just stay at home, because I was too disruptive in Church. So technically I'm supposed to be Christian, but they kinda kicked me out of their religion. Plus they don't support gays.

edit- but hey, sorry for making you angry...opinions are opinions and i suppose i should respect yours, as you should respect mine. but lets stop spamming up this thread with our thoughts and views on things that no longer relate to classic rock. i dont want any more people hating me just because i spammed.

[Badmoon]

You/your parents kicked you out of the religion.

[Illmatic]

I don't think it's right to say that he deserved to die. As far as we know he was a [mostly] good person and a gifted individual.

[RNR]

Guys, take it to AIM if this is going to become a big argument.

[thickasabrick]

I never wanted to be a part of the religion in the first place, that's why I was bad in church. I don't like having a set list of rules telling me what to beleive in and what not too, I'm not a robot, I can think for myself. I'm not like a satan worshipper or anything, I do admire a lot of the values that religions teach...I just can't be bothered to conform entirely to their views.

It's actually pretty strange how religious a lot of famous musicians are, like Cat Stevens, and even Bob Dylan.

edit- I knew Rock would find his way into our "discussion." Tell ya what, lets make this classic rock related, lets talk about musicians and their religions (or lack of). Bob Dylan was Christian, as is apparent in his Slow Train Coming album. Gotta Serve Somebody is a pretty good song.

[RNR]

Religion isn't really a Canadian thing. Barely anyone I know is religious.

I never wanted to be a part of the religion in the first place.

My statement still remains true.

George Harrison, Jerry Garcia, Bob Marley, etc

Bob Marley was indeed a devout Rastafari. I should think about converting.
