Those albums have nothing to do with American Beauty, and I just think American Beauty all sounds the same except for a couple songs.

UPDATE: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers pwn both Paul Reveer and the Raiders and Bob Marly and the Wailers (at the same time!)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are OK I mean none of their stuff really strikes me as amazing but opinions.

A Mofro mp3

So what does everyone think of Nashville Skyline?

I'm listening to Nashville Skyline right now, it's a little too countryish or something for my tastes. It' still good though, just not my cup of tea.


I think I'll listen to Highway 61 now.

Do you think that there is enough classic rock to last someone a lifetime? By this I mean is there enough classic rock music so that somebody could be very much into music their whole life and only listen to classic rock and not be bored?

[thickasabrick]

I think so. When people think of classic rock they basically only scrape the surface of all the classic rock bands, because we only hear the best ones on the radio and stuff. There are way more classic rock bands than most people know of. It's like thirty years from now people will think the 90's only had Nirvana and the Spice Girls.

K I'm posting a link to a site I stumbled across. It's basically just a few guys saying their opinions on everything, and this one guy is extremely stupid.
I warn you guys! There is a lot of Jerry Garcia/Grateful Dead/hippy bashing in this article...if you think you might become too overwhelmed with rage, don't click the link. http://www.crazyass13.com/featured/jerrybear.html We may complain about the n00bs that come into our thread, but at least we don't get many people like this.

There's a good 500 great classic rock bands and all of them have lots of albums so yes.

Although it would be kind of stupid to just listen to classic rock because other types of music can be good too.

That's true. Even though there are a countless number of classic rock bands, I find one of the greatest things about classic rock, is that you don't get bored of it. I could listen to the same album for a week straight and I wouldn't get sick of it.

Haha ya, I took great satisfaction in reading through all of the comments. I don't even mind people's opinions, but he shouldn't say: "So take my advice. Rip the Dead stickers off of your SUV. Burn your tie-dye's and pick up a copy of "Never Mind the Bullocks' by the Sex Pistols (My second favorite rock album). Then crank it up! You will soon forget that Jerry is dead."

That's just wrong.

edit- I think Badmoon may have a stroke if he reads it. Badmoon's opinions are exactly the opposite to those in the article. Get the defribulators ready! (how the hell do you spell that word!)

That's just wrong.I don't think Garcia deserved any of that, I mean, he was GLAD the man had died..what had he done to him?!

[thickasabrick]

A few pages back, someone asked why we don't talk about Rory Gallagher. I replied that we've talked about him before, and he's a good guitarist. I was looking through my rep, and someone put this comment on that post - "yea your cool because u have no life and all you do is post on forums"

Who the hell was that! It better not be anyone who comes in here regularly! Step forward you swine! Did anyone get similiar comments made on theirs? Why was I singled out?

And I think Abbey Road might have to be my favourite album now (besides DSOTM) What are everyone elses favourite songs off this album? I love em all, but You Never Give Me Your Money and Oh Darling! are probably my favourites.

edit- and does anyone know what they are saying in Spanish (or whatever it is) during Sun King.

[jpj]

There was this guy a littlw while ago that gave Badmoon neg rep saying something bad about The Dead in the comment, and he was the same guy who negged me and called me a hippy fag. I guess it could be the same guy.

Abbey Road is definitely one of my favorite albums. I don't think I could pick a favorite song off it, I mean Come Together, Something, Oh! Darling, I Want You (She's So Heavy), so many greats.

[IAJP]

Nah man, it's cool to negative rep someone saying "You have no life" when they themselves are on the forum.. :rolleyes: I wouldn't worry about it dude, I just repped you, for some reason. :)

[thickasabrick]

I think it would be better to ask if anyone here dislikes Abbey Road, and why.

I honestly think Abbey Road is as close to perfect as any album has ever been, it just has plain great songs on it. It doesn't need a big grand theme, crazy effects or anything like that, the songs have little room for improvement.

edit- And thanks i am Jimmy Page. Wouldn't it be odd if you really were Jimmy Page and none of us took your name seriously enough to ask if you were really him. I often think about that.

[IAJP]

:lol:
I wish I was Jimmy Page :p.
And I dunno, I like Abbey Road a lot, but it's certainly NOT the Beatles best.
What is..eh..it's sooooo close.
Sgt. Peppers ~VS~ the White Album.
I'd say White Album, 2 discs = more value.
That's just my reasoning though :)

[thickasabrick]

I've never listened to the entire White Album start to finish, so I can't make a good judgment on that. But I've listened to Sgt Peppers quite a lot, and I think it's great, although a little muddy at times. I really like the basslines that the Beatles started using after they matured ('66 and on).

[jpj]

I actually don't like The White Album.

/flees

[IAJP]

Macca started coming into his own on Sgt. Peppers, I feel.

[jpj]

The bass line to I Want You(She's So Heavy) is wonderful, I think it's one of Paul's best bass performances.

[thickasabrick]

I actually don't like The White Album.

/flees

Haha. is everyone at school right now? We have finals all this week, so I go for one test in the morning then I'm done for the day. Even though I'm supposed to be studying and my notebook is laying closed beside me. (and has been for the past few hours). This site is too addictive.

I'm just wondering, comparing the Beatles first half of the sixties, to the last half, was there a change in who did more songwriting? Or was it just mostly the Lennon/Mcartney combo straight through the decade?

[jpj]

I'm pretty sure it remained Lennon/Mcartney for the most part.

And here not everyone has to take exams so most people skip exam days, which I am doing right now.

[thickasabrick]

I'm pretty sure it remained Lennon/Mcartney for the most part.

And here not everyone has to take exams so most people skip exam days, which I am doing right now.

Awesome. Another question about songwriting...where it gives the songwriting credits on the album, does that mean music and words? Because for Dark Side of the Moon most of the songs have two or more people credited as songwriters, and then another spot on the album says All Lyrics by Roger Waters. Did Lennon and Mcartney write both the music and words together? Or how did that work?

[jpj]

I think when it gives names by the song like that it's music because on HTWWW on some songs it has all four names, and Bonham and JPJ never wrote lyrics to my knowledge. As far as The Beatles I honestly have no idea how that worked.

Where the hell are The Beatles fanboys?

[IAJP]

I'm a Zepp fanboy :D

[thickasabrick]

I'm a fanboy of several different bands. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about the Beatles. I think guitrguy knows a lot about them, I'm not sure who else would though.

Yea, guitrguy is, and Woodstock seems fairly knowledgeable on the subject. Occassionally I lurk into The Beatles thread, and I couldn't take part in the conversation if I wanted to.

That's how I am too. I could take control of the Zeppelin thread if I wanted to, but everytime I go in there they are in the midst of a heated arguement/discussion and I don't wanna just jump in. Plus I'm not sure what they have and haven't discussed yet, so I don't wanna bring up already discussed topics.

[magicbus]

I also don't know much about The Beatles. They have so many albums and singles, it kinda turns me off of researching them because I don't know where to start.

Don't worry about that, the Zep thread is just n00bs. Me and JPJ are the unofficial mods of it. Livewired used to be one, but he stopped posting there. Maybe you could replace him.

Me neither. They are obviously a great band, but I don't try to gain any knowledge about them really. I don't listen to them as much as most other people here. The Kinks=The Beatles, so I listen to the Kinks instead.

Just buy a CD that has some of your favorite songs on it. I bought Let It Be and I'm trying to scrape up enough money to get the White Album.

An excellent album. I'm listening to it right now. It's a good concept too.

So its settled, I'll be playing Sunshine Of Your Love in the talent show! Its easy enough for my friends (who started playing less than a year ago) to learn, and I can flawlessly play the solo. So I'm excited.

I might be able to record it or something, but I've been working on the solo with my teacher for about 3 weeks now, and he wanted it to match the cd exactly, like to the point where you wouldn't be able to hear that there were 2 guitars (me and the cd) playing. So I'm pretty happy with that. :thumb:

Hehe. It's not really much of a 2 guitar song. That's like every battle of the bands I go to, some idiots decide they need 3 guitarists to play Blink182 covers.

[Illmatic]

One of my friends said that at his kid brother's Middle School's talent show, one band tried to Skynyrd "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (in other words, they used three guitarists for it)...part of me wishes I had seen it while the other part is glad I didn't.

So I'm pretty happy with that. :thumb:

Doing that is usually pretty tough. Whenever I play live, I just improvise a similiar solo to the one in the song, there's usually parts of melody you can match up, and certain notes and licks are easy to mimic so it doesn't sound much different, especially to non-guitar players...except when I play Purple Haze live. I find the only way it sounds right is how Hendrix plays it.

[thickasabrick]

Man I gotta go to work now, and I just remembered that a bunch of my students asked if I could teach them songs today...now I gotta quickly figure out and write down how to play them before I forget. I wish my students were still too crappy to learn real songs, it was much less work back then.

I've been trying that with my band. Sunshine of Your Love with 2 guitars doesn't work. I use an Epiphone Dot Electric, the other guitarist an Epiphone Les Paul. Man... it sucks. I hate it.

[RockAndRoll]

My band played sunshine of your love at our set at a bar recently. We played it far too fast though which was too bad because otherwise it was quite good.

Anyways we have a recording from that show from which i'll try to send you some originals. (even though i'm sure to some of you that sounds like an empty promise because i've promised it before).

[slowhand]

Try it.

So your band are a trio or what?

[Badmoon]

Says the guy who likes The Grateful Dead.

By the way, Badmoon is like 13 or 14, which makes me feel old.

That's very funny being that the Grateful Dead not only played several genres, but they also were one of the earliest Psychedelic bands, and brought Rock improvisation to new levels.

Listen to "That's it for the Other One" or "Weather Report Suite" and then tell me they're bland.

I don't find all of The Stooges work to be bland, but a large percentage bores me. Their debut is highly overrated and very boring to me. I'll leave it at that.

And I'm 15.

Okay, I need everyone's help.

Who's music do you have more of?
pick the one that you have the least amount of music of.
If you have equal amounts than choose Buffalo Springfield cause Stephen Stills and Neil Young(when he was with them) rock

[Badmoon]

That's not important. I just really want some more Country Rock, and I'm already sure I'm going to buy something by Arlo Guthrie :).

[slowhand]

Okay, I need everyone's help.

[PinkFreud]

I'm just wondering, comparing the Beatles first half of the sixties, to the last half, was there a change in who did more songwriting? Or was it just mostly the Lennon/Mcartney combo straight through the decade?

in their early years, mccatney/lennon wrote more of their songs together. in later years, when tensions started growing, the writing became more seperate. lennon wrote this song. mccartney wrote this one. a day in the life is really the last song they actually both contributed to writing. they kep putting mccartney/lennon in the credits though.

[RNR]

Yeah. It's almost as if they were trying to out-do eachother at times.

I don't have a band.:(

The Kinks=The Beatles to me.

Wow - I disagree totally. The Beatles in my opinion are better than the Kinks in nearly everyway. An by lots.

I like both, but I'm not crazy over either.

What is so good about the Kinks? Any recommended songs?

I think "you really got me" is a fairly good song, but that's the obvious one.

Well, I'm not sure what jam bands you listen to now, but some I particularly like are: Medeski Martin & Wood, Keller Williams, String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic, moe., Frog Brigade, Ratdog, Derek Trucks Band, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, and Jazz Mandolin Project.

I guess it depends on what style you're looking for.

[Schyma]

Moe is my new favorite Jam band. :)

Random note: Im just started reading Jerry Garcia's bio.

I forgot Galactic, Galactic kick ***.

[24hourstogoJ]

My cousin started listening to The Band. :upset:

Here's the story on him: He takes everything I've ever done, and starts doing it. I started guitar, he picked it up a month later. I started listening to Classic Rock, he started copying me. He would've never heard of Zeppelin, Floyd, Cream, The Doors, Yes, or The Who without me. Luckily he's only picked the common CR bands. Basically he's a faggot.

Today he tells me that he bought a greatest hits cd of The Band from Best Buy. He's never heard a song by them. I made the mistake of mentioning The Last Waltz in front of him, and it was over. He would've never found out about them, ever, in his life, if I didn't tell him about that movie. And now he knows. Everyone I ask has never heard of The Band (except for you guys), and now my cousin knows them. My life is over. I am actually enraged right now, seeing red if you will. :upset:


On a side note, I rule his *** at guitar, and I will always have that on him.


okay you should not be mad at him, be glad, now you guys have more to talk about. Just because he starts liking something cuz of you doesen't mean u gots to be hatin on him!!!!!!

Keep it real and stay fresh...

I'm listening to Hendrix's cover of "Like a Rolling Stone". It's odd, I loved the original because of all the instruments thrown in, and yet Hendrix' simple cover is great too.

Is One From the Vault any good? Or should I just get the studio albums.

Well, it has some good tracks and is overall pretty good, but there are better live albums you could get.

The Byrds - The Christian Life

Maybe Tommy, but definitley not for awhile.

*Jimi Hendrix is a very underrated singer.

edit: yes. ****it. Review Tommy. Somebody has to.

[Johnny B. Good]

Yes, Jimi is an uderrated singer. I was listening to Little Wing earlier and realized how nice his voice is. I'm also realizing how good a drummer Ginger BAker is

[Johnny B. Good]

Maybe Tommy, but definitley not for awhile.
Sweet, you liked my recomendation :thumb:
Maybe you should review Wheels of Fire

[Against Miik!]

Jimi could play lead well and sing well at the same time too. Just incredible. Thats something very few guys can do.

[Badmoon]

While I was playing some of Jimi's stuff, I felt that he was oddly held higher than others. I have a much harder time playing something by Duane Allman, Chet Atkins, etc.

Anyone else feel the same? His stuff if really fun to play though.

[Badmoon]

Featured Song: Grateful Dead - Pride of Cucamonga


http://s18.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2T3QELWXTAVEO0BHSL2624YUZS


I really like this song. Phil Lesh takes lead vocals and had wrote the song, and does a great job. The Country vibe really drags me in, and the pedal steel in the background is very interesting.

Country Rock at its finest, in my opinion.

[Against Miik!]

Not really sure what you mean. ARe you trying to say hes overrated as a musician? His live stuff will prove hes not. I can play most of the studio versions of his songs, but he just goes crazy live. He is a master of improvisation. He can make even the ugliest sounds beautfiul. He was just an extremely uniuqe talent.

[Johnny B. Good]

I wish I was as skilled as Jimi is on guitar :upset:

[Badmoon]

Well, I'm not saying he's not fantastic (He is unbelievably good, and posses talents that other guitarist don't have), but I was playing "Power To Love" on my friends Guitarport (I believe that's its name) and everything was beautifully written, but it wasn't as difficult as many make it out to be. And I'm not trying to say I'm a great guitarist, but I'm sure some of you feel that way.

[lunch998]

*Jimi Hendrix is a very underrated singer.

edit: yes. ****it. Review Tommy. Somebody has to.

I might be able to do Tommy eventually. I mean, I'm no Badmoon, but I could still do it.

Well obviously Jimi's overrated when it comes to technical skill. But you try writing and inivating as well as he did ;)

+his live stuff was much harder to play than his recorded.

[Johnny B. Good]

Who do you guys think does have the best technical guitar skill

[Against Miik!]

Who do you guys think does have the best technical guitar skill

That would be leaving the realm of classic rock, but the first thing that comes to mind as far as classic rock goes is George Harrison.

[RNR]

George Harrison, best technical player? I'm not challenging that. Just not believing it.

[Against Miik!]

George Harrison, best technical player? I'm not challenging that. Just not believing it.

Different definitons of technical maybe?

[Johnny B. Good]

I'd have to say Mr. Clapton is the best technical player. him or as Milk stated Mr. Harrisson

[RNR]

I was talking about difficulty of the guitar parts that a person can play.

[Badmoon]

I'll always bring up Jerry Garcia, being I originally got into the Grateful Dead because of his guitar work on some Garcia & Grisman stuff. This style is tough to nail down; not always the same.

Take "Terrapin Station" for example. That solos featured on that song are outstanding. But he is his best with David Grisman during his later years. His playing is fantastic on albums like Shady Grove.

Brian May is also extremely talented.

EDIT: And of course Steve Howe.

[Against Miik!]

Wait, I have one...David Gilmour maybe?

[Badmoon]

His emotion is much higher than his technical ability.

[Badmoon]

Did anyone listen to the **** song?

[RNR]

We're talking technical skill. Gilmour's a brilliant songwriter but not much when it comes to technical ability.

Alex Lifeson's up there.

edit: No^. I will right now though.

[Johnny B. Good]

I was talking about difficulty of the guitar parts that a person can play.
I was thinking that and their ability to change chords well, make their playing look simple, etc.

[RNR]

Well obviously it looks simple if it is simple.

[Johnny B. Good]

We're talking technical skill. Gilmour's a brilliant songwriter but not much when it comes to technical ability.

edit: No^. I will right now though.
I don't know, that solo on Comfortably Numb is pretty fukin awesome

[DeusExMachina]

Who do you guys think does have the best technical guitar skill

Definitely not a classic rock player. Probably Andres Segovia. But, in the realm of non-classical music, either a metal shredder, or someone like Joe Pass. Joe Pass > all metal shredders though.

[RNR]

I don't know, that solo on Comfortably Numb is pretty fukin awesome

It's really not all that hard to play. It's an awesome solo but only becasue it sounds good. I'm not going to say it again that we're talking about difficulty.

edit: badmoon. That song was awesome :). I enjoy your featured songs.

[!ExplodingChickens!]

Classic Rock, Buddy Holly :) So Good.
I stole my parents Buddy Holly cd.

[Johnny B. Good]

Well obviously it looks simple if it is simple.
For example the other night I was watching Eric Clapton play some very difficult pieces and he still made them look very easy to play

[Badmoon]

Modern Jam Guitarist = Jimmy Herring

Some may say Warren Haynes, but Jimmy Herring is a machine. I'm surprised many shred fans don't know of him. He tapps and shreds all over the place.

[jpj]

Is Jimmy Herring the guy from Jazz is Dead?

[RNR]

For example the other night I was watching Eric Clapton play some very difficult pieces and he still made them look very easy to play

Well maybe they were easy to play. That would go under the catigory of smoothness. You're mistaking smooth for technical.

*eric clapton does have some very hard songs to play though. Just not a whole lot of them. He's called slowhand for a reason.

[Badmoon]

We're forgeting Stephen Stills. Stills is a machine.

[RNR]

Indeed.

Warren Haynes too. I don't know if he's considered classic or not though.

[Johnny B. Good]

We're forgeting Stephen Stills. Stills is a machine.
Yes, STills is a machine

I heard he's called slowhand because of how he changes his strings. It was on Jeopardy.

[ultimaterocker]

has aerosmith been mentioned?????

[RNR]

Oh right. I remember hearing about that now. Well my statement still stands.

[RNR]

Yes now go away unless you have something contribute to the current conversation.

Yea, and Phil Lesh & Friends.

[thickasabrick]

Man I hate going to work, there's like five pages I missed now!

I started teaching one of my students how to fingerpick. I showed her a beginner version of Dust In the Wind. Who do you guys think is the best fingerpicker in classic rock/folk rock and those types of genres? I realize this is more suited for the Guitar Forums, but they always just tell me to listen to Malmsteem or some other boring shred guitarist.

Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac is pretty good at fingerpicking.

[jpj]

My daddy showed me the easy version of Dust In the Wind too :cool:

Steve Howe can finger pick pretty good.

[Illmatic]

Fingerpicking, eh?

(...can't think of any good examples :upset: )

[PinkFreud]

jeff beck only finger picks since his fusion days (perhaps earlier) and i think we can all agree that hes pretty **** good. another good one is phil keaggy with glass harp. its a christian rock band but not in the same vein as creed/pod etc. i dont even like that kind of music being un religious but **** the guys amazing. hes an awesome finger picker.

[Seafroggys]

SOrry if I don't have much to contribute, but I haven't eben on in like a week, and I missed out on 20,000 :(

I got my first dose of "Led Zeppelin, he's okay" today....boy that was maddening.

My useless 2 cents.

BTW: THere's this one ELO song I want to know the name of. It starts with this weird REvolution 9-like segment, with choirs and stuff singing a bit of hallejulah in there, then it goes into some pretty **** fast acoustic guitar riff. I'm pretty sure most people here know what I'm talking about.

[RNR]

Jeff Beck for fingerpicking :D. And Warren Haynes.

[jpj]

Jeff Beck for fingerpicking :D. And Warren Haynes.
That reminds me, Derek Trucks and George Thorogoo are also pretty crazy finger pickers.

[Riva]

George Thorogood is quite enjoyable, except for fanboys like Bartender who only like Bad To The Bone. :)

How's things, all?

[ArcLite]

Not sure why, but hearing George Thorogood mentioned made me think about Warren Zevon also. Anyone know about him? Werewolves of London is a great song, catchy too. I guess he died a couple years ago from lung cancer, only in his mid 50's.

[clown_phobia]

I heard he's called slowhand because of how he changes his strings. It was on Jeopardy.

In the early days Clapton would bend his strings so much that they would break on stage. As he re-strung his guitar, the crowd would starts slowhand clapping.

[thickasabrick]

I loooove Warren Zevon. His biography was so sad. The doctors told him he had two choices: Live in the hospital to receive cancer treatment and live longer, or go on as if everything was normal and die. He chose the latter, he decided it would be better to spent his time in the studio making one last album for his fans before he died, instead of living in a hospital, although it brought his death a lot sooner. He died right as his album was coming out, a lot of good people played on it too, although the only name that comes to mind is Bruce Springsteen.

I dunno that description sounds like 20 of their songs, but that's their most popular one fitting the description. ELO rocks. Jeff Lynne = Genius.

Yeah Warren Zevon is pretty amazing, his biography would be VERY interesting.
Sometimes I get this insane craving for Zevon, hah I sprint to my stereo and listen to some Zevon, great lyricist.

[Modestbob]

yeah The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, The Clash, The Ramones are great bands. i use to be into more of the "punk bands" when i was younger, but i grew out of it. those are the only bands that can be considered "punk" or "proto-punk" or whatever that i still respect or like.
