Classic Rock

[jpj]

Do you normally get eaten by a Polar Bear?
It's always a risk in Canada.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Hello, everyone. For a computer class I'm taking, we have to make a web page. I wanted to do one on a classic rock band. I've narrowed it down to The Beatles, The Doors, or Cream. Which do you think I should do?

[PinkFreud]

cream, lesser known to normal, non musicians yet enormously talented. most people know the beatles and the doors.

[jpj]

I'd do Cream.

[Woodstock]

Yeah, do Cream.

The beatles.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Thanks for helping me decide (I am a very indecisive person).

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Sorry to double post, but I have a question. In Sunshine Of Your Love, it sounds like there are two guitars to me. I know Clapton was the only guitarist in Cream, so how did they get it to sound like that?

[clown_phobia]

Thanks for helping me decide (I am a very indecisive person).

which have you decided on?

[Illmatic]

Sorry to double post, but I have a question. In Sunshine Of Your Love, it sounds like there are two guitars to me. I know Clapton was the only guitarist in Cream, so how did they get it to sound like that?

Dubbing.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

which have you decided on?

I think I'm going with Cream. I know the most about The Beatles out of those three, but I think it's a good idea to raise awareness of Cream. Plus, I don't want to be thought of as a suck-up (my computer teacher is a Beatles fan, too).


Dubbing...Now I feel stupid. I should have known that. :upset:

[Distant Echoes]

dubbing is very popular in classic rock, i do it alot when recording myself, but some solos have up to 4 guitars overdubbed...and wether their playing the same thing over eachother, it just gives it that edge.

and to who asked to do the report on, go with the beatles. They have so much more history to them and really set the path for all music, not by talent, but by inspiration (<- good intro statement :lol: ) but people usually dont give them a chance since they are very old, music is pretty slow, and experimentation is usually too much for a modern listener to take

[Lucky0889]

In any live version of Sunshine of your love there is one guitar..

psh. the beatles didnt lack talent by any stretch of the mind.

[magicbus]

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.

Yea I know what you mean. Aside from some obscure note choices, Jimi's music isn't THAT hard. There are a few challenging parts, but it can be easy too. Good thing it stills rules.

[PinkFreud]

Yea I know what you mean. Aside from some obscure note choices, Jimi's music isn't THAT hard. There are a few challenging parts, but it can be easy too. Good thing it stills rules.

yeah its fairly easy when played straight forward but it takes a pretty good player to nail down all the little nuances jimi played during his rythym parts and solos. many people write him off as mainly inspiration but what gets lost is that some of his stuff is pretty hard. little wing for example is somewhat complex.

edit: and the true test is whether players who feel his music is easy could write something on the same level as little wing, voodoo chile etc.

The Beatles might have a little too much history. I'm not sure how long I have to make this web page.

That was a pretty good intro statement, by the way. :lol:

[RNR]

Hehe, The Beatles would be too long. Do something like The Doors. They weren't together very long.

[Distant Echoes]

My second choice would be the doors...if you pick cream, then their may be too much focus on eric clapton, when that was were the majority of their popularity and sound came from.

[PinkFreud]

My second choice would be the doors...if you pick cream, then their may be too much focus on eric clapton, when that was were the majority of their popularity and sound came from.

yeah but thats a good reason to do cream. he could elaborate more on bruce and baker. especially since theyre excellent musicianfs themselves. and especially because bruce wrote most of their originals with pete brown. itd be a good time to even the playing field between the three of them.

[magicbus]

And Bruce basically played ever instrument that wasn't guitar or drums.

[RNR]

And Bruce basically played ever instrument that wasn't guitar or drums.
Yep, he was the bass player. ;)


*he probably played more instruments on their songs. List plzkxthx?

[StreetlightRock]

About Jimi, i reckon some of his hardest stuff lay in his Rythem, not his lead. Like Fire (love that song), listen to the rythem in that, its so... wierd, the chorus, totally Jimi.

DVG.

[jpj]

He played harmonica on Spoonful and I'm pretty sure he played piano on Wrapping Papers. I don't know what else.

[magicbus]

Ahem: Bass guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, organ, harmonica, cello and vocals.

Might be more, not sure.

[jpj]

What song did he play cello on?

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I am a she...someone referred to me as a he..just clearing that up.

What other instruments did Bruce play?

[magicbus]

Deserted Cities of the Heart has cello on it.

[RNR]

Agreed. That's really hard to play. Lots of his solos are much easier to play than that part.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Thanks everyone! I've got to go eat dinner now. Bye!

[lunch998]

He plays great Harmonica leads on Rollin' and Tumblin' and Cat's Squirrel.

Edit: About Jack Bruce.

[Distant Echoes]

I think harmonica is very underated...a lot of great stuff comes outta them in alot of good songs, and its defintaly not as easy as it sounds, though the fact that its all already on the musical scale for you makes it much easier on the ears when anybody tries to play it

[lunch998]

There some good Harmonica moments in Classic rock.

[magicbus]

Yea I still haven't picked one up. More concentrated on convincing my mom to let me get my new guitar.

[lunch998]

What kind of guitar do you want?

[Johnny B. Good]

There some good Harmonica moments in Classic rock.
Namely Bob Dylan

[lunch998]

Who do you think did the best cover of Johnny B. Goode? The Grateful Dead's version is stuck in my head right now.

[Johnny B. Good]

Michael J. Fox did the best cover :D

[PinkFreud]

Who do you think did the best cover of Johnny B. Goode? The Grateful Dead's version is stuck in my head right now.

hendrix's is the most fun to listen to for me.

[magicbus]

What kind of guitar do you want?

Fender American Strat. Close to $880, but I can get it a hundred bucks cheaper through my music place.

[lunch998]

hendrix's is the most fun to listen to for me.

Yea he did a great cover of it.

[Johnny B. Good]

I like the original Johnny by Chuck Berry

[lunch998]

Fender American Strat. Close to $880, but I can get it a hundred bucks cheaper through my music place.

My friend has one, I think it's a great guitar. Not that I know anything about guitars.

[magicbus]

Yea its built really good, and it plays like a dream. Plus with the single pups, I can get the tone I'm looking for. My guitar right now has humbuckers, and they suck.

[Distant Echoes]

I cant stand strats...they have such horrible feel and sound for playing with All The Time. If i thought i might need it for a few songs, i wouldnt hesitate, but it would never be the relic of any of my guitars.

[RNR]

I have an American Strat HSS. It's my dream guitar and it only cost $1100. That's a pretty good price for a dream guitar.

[clown_phobia]

I love the Les Paul tone. Right now I play a strat copy.

[Johnny B. Good]

Man I need a new guitar.

[magicbus]

I cant stand strats...they have such horrible feel and sound for playing with All The Time. If i thought i might need it for a few songs, i wouldnt hesitate, but it would never be the relic of any of my guitars.

But that's where the tone is! (echoes, soycd, etc!)

[Distant Echoes]

Man I need a new guitar.

join the club. I cant stand feedback or that loose buzzing sound from the wire to the guitar...that a feature of cheapness.

Im thinkin of the SG, cause i didnt know they were only $650 bucks till a few months ago, and i heard their much easier to access to bottom frets, and lighter then a les paul.

and how many frets does an SG have? im really lookin for 23, but ill be glad to just have the guitar

I also need a new amp. Mine died and I've been using my bass amp, it makes the guitar sound even worse than it already does :upset:

[lunch998]

Drums>Guitar.

[Distant Echoes]

But that's where the tone is! (echoes, soycd, etc!)

I wouldve said 'though gilmour can really put that thing into effect in his songs', but i didnt want to get back on the topic of Floyd. Im already actively posting the the 'official' thread now, but yeah, it sounds better slowhand rather then sloppy hendrix style.

but i couldnt imagine a band that already uses them without one-or the infamous telecaster

[jpj]

Drums>Guitar.
If you're musically retarded.

[ATM]

Man I need a new guitar.

Same here, man. I am using a Yamaha Pacifica right now, and it leaves a lot to be desired. I am looking at some strats for my next guitar.

[Distant Echoes]

To lunch
playing drums defintaly beats the hell out of guitar, but id rather listen to a guitar solo then a drum solo...sorry bud, but as a drummer and guitarist myself, playing drums defintaly kicks guitars ***, its easier, louder, more intense, and quite frankly, you guitarist would be nowere without us.

I just totally complimented and bashed myself right there...

[lunch998]

If you're musically retarded.

Shutup and go back to your bass-player corner of the stage.

[ATM]

If you're musically retarded.

What do you call a guy that hangs around with musicians?

:lol: I wont start these lame jokes, nevermind.

[lunch998]

Yea that was interesting how you contradicted yourself a few times, but I agree with what you said.

[Johnny B. Good]

Shutup and go back to your bass-player corner of the stage.
What's the matter with bass? :angry:

[lunch998]

What's the matter with bass? :angry:

Nothing at all, as a drummer I love nothing more than a good bassist. I was just lashing back because JPJ called drummers(me) musically retarded.

Guitar adds more to the song than drums.

[Distant Echoes]

Id learn bass in a second if i had one, because i want to end the whole idea of the bass always following the guitarist. I think bassist should be the ones putting the music scale into effect and doing something more than the guitarist's notes.

If thats what every bassist did, anybody could be one.

[jpj]

Shutup and go back to your bass-player corner of the stage.
Fine, I like it better there anyway. I don't have to deal with the ego-maniac guitarists and I'm a safe distance from the drummer, the poorest excuse for a musician, not to mention they're generally very stupid.

[Distant Echoes]

I dont know...would i rather heard bassist and drummer, guitarist and drummer, or bassist and guitarist...thats a tough question

what do u guys think

[magicbus]

I will learn bass eventually. But first, harmonica and piano.

Guitarist and drummer. No offense to bassists.

[Johnny B. Good]

Guitar & drummer

[Johnny B. Good]

I will learn bass eventually. But first, harmonica and piano.

Guitarist and drummer. No offense to bassists.
Ha, I already know how to play bass, as well as guitar, flute, cello, viola, and somewhat piano :cool:

[lunch998]

Bassist and drummer could lay down some sick grooves.

[ATM]

I fail to see how drummers are the "poorest excuse for a musician".

[HempKnight]

If you're musically retarded.

Dude im a guitar player, but u know the drums are just as importent. Drummers get a lot less credit then they desrve. Alex Van Halen is just as good as Eddie Van Halen is a guitarist, but he doesnt get as much credit as he deserves.

[Johnny B. Good]

Alex Van Halen isn't that great of a drummer, but does have his moments

[jpj]

I fail to see how drummers are the "poorest excuse for a musician".
I hope everyone knows that was a joke directed towards lunch.

[lunch998]

I hope everyone knows that was a joke directed towards lunch.

I was just about to reply to all these kids who are getting upset in defense of you.

[magicbus]

Oh you two!

[lunch998]

Oh you two!

You sound like me mom.

[jpj]

Oh you two!
Lunch started it, he always does :madderfied:

[Distant Echoes]

We could totally start a band if we didnt live 500 miles away from eachother.

Bashing on other musicians is funny as hell, until people take it personally, or you get into the ? jokes...or if its between Plant and Bonham. I seen they got into some really bad arguements backstage all the time

[lunch998]

I never heard about Bonham and Plant having bad arguments. I've heard about Bonham vs. Everyone else in his drunken rages, but not specifically Robert.

[jpj]

Yea, I've never heard that either.

[kadbase3]

yea i was worried that was just my imagination. o i just discovered a great classic rock band by the name of The Moody Blues. now they are good. check out "Nights in White Satin," "Tuesday Afternoon," "Ride my SeeSaw," and "I'm just a singer (in a rock and roll band)."
Was Eric Clapton in thqt band?

[Johnny B. Good]

I've heard about the time John Bonham took a shehite in a girls shoe and threw into the crowd

/doesn't know if it's true

[jpj]

I've heard about the time John Bonham took a shehite in a girls shoe and threw into the crowd

/doesn't know if it's true
One of the other band members was in another room with a girl being loud ( :naughty: ) and John got mad so he took a **** in the girls shoe.

[kadbase3]

well at least some of us have our heads on straight. it's a start. i'm wanna see some band come along and revitalize the classic rock style...
I hear Cream (yes, that's right Cream) could be doing a reunion tour within a year or two.

[Distant Echoes]

I never heard about Bonham and Plant having bad arguments. I've heard about Bonham vs. Everyone else in his drunken rages, but not specifically Robert.

well 1 example, plant and bonham were fighting after a cencert in 69 or 70, and bonham reportably said "well it doesnt matter if you miss a note or not! all you have to do is shake you *** and look good and nobody gives a ****"

something like that, but i forget what it was over. deep down, they know they liked eachother though...probably during the acid trips

[jpj]

I hear Cream (yes, that's right Cream) could be doing a reunion tour within a year or two.
You can stop quoting posts from months ago now, and get with the current conversation. And yes Cream is doing a weeks worth of shows at The Royal Albert Hall in London.

[Distant Echoes]

I hear Cream (yes, that's right Cream) could be doing a reunion tour within a year or two.

i also heard about that, not that im a huge fan of cream, but id love to see clapton in action. His records dont do justice to his live performances

[Johnny B. Good]

One of the other band members was in another room with a girl being loud ( :naughty: ) and John got mad so he took a **** in the girls shoe.
Which member? :naughty:

[jpj]

Which member? :naughty:
I'm not quite sure.

[Distant Echoes]

on concerts...i just got a great idea, i think

their should be some kind of stickied thread or something that keeps everybody up to date with which bands are touring, either currently or in the future. Ticketmaster never respondes to their update list or whatever it is. But it seems like when people say 'this band is touring', everybody goes crazy. If there were a weekly updated thread for upcoming concerts, everybody would know whats going on all the time

i dont know if itll work or not though, but id be willing to organize it

[Lucky0889]

Im Buying Tickets For Everyone To London To See Cream

[Johnny B. Good]

Im Buying Tickets For Everyone To London To See Cream

Perhaps you are thinking of Plant and Richard Cole, their tour manager??

They used to fight a lot.

[HempKnight]

i just got the woodstock cd today and.............amazing. i think this cd is the best peice of recorded music ever

[Woodstock]

Is it a recording of the entire concert. If it is, then you're right.

[HempKnight]

Is it a recording of the entire concert. If it is, then you're right.

yea very true, but i feel the cd gives a good summery of it. and i know people say jimi hendrix's star spangled banner is the best he did there, but i think its the instrumental solo at the end of purple haze

[Woodstock]

I thought Hendrix's Villinova Junction was the best song he performed.

[HempKnight]

i know its such a shame he died so soon after, who knows what that could have turned into

[RNR]

Have I mentioned that Eddie Van Halen isn't all that great at guitar lately?

Yes I have.

[clown_phobia]

Have I mentioned that Eddie Van Halen isn't all that great at guitar lately?

Yes I have.

He's better than you, get over it.

[Illmatic]

Eddie's okay. His stuff goes little beyond simple "Gee whiz!" semi-technicality, but he has his moments.

[StreetlightRock]

nah, then he might have died old... v, unrockstar like.

**** this fast paced conversation!.. Drums are so much fun to play! like, not just dumdumcha dumdumcha, but badoom-cheee do-do do-do pow. All that off-beat stuff and four limbs doing seperate things... so much fun. *is a guitarist who wants to play drums* Then theres the fact that youre just smacking the shi'te outta something with really makes it worth it.

DVG.

[RNR]

He's better than you, get over it.

He's been playing for something like 30 times longer than I have too.

[Badmoon]

Well, sorry I haven't been here today. But a good day none the less.

- I managed to get high after school.

- Came up with enough money for shrooms for this weekend.

- Still have enough for one CD.

Eddie is a good guitarist, but i can never forgive him for spawning hair metal

You guys will never be teh tr00 psychedelic rawk :smoke:

[Illmatic]

I dig chronic, but shrooms just suck.

[PinkFreud]

i hate pot. and im not one of those people who hate all drugs. i just hated everything about it. i fell asleep every time (almost). i hated the smell. and now im annoyed with my friends and the way they act on it. i prefer drinking and i only smoke cloves now. delicious. like smoking a candy cane.

[Illmatic]

I like pot. It's a good social drug (as is alcohol).

[HempKnight]

eh pot isnt for everybody. also your reasons for doing it make a difference. if your doing it just to be cool you prob wont enjoy it as much (and shouldnt be doing it in the first place then), but if u wanna do it for a peaceful way to escape reality then its def the way to go :thumb:

[PinkFreud]

i was going for the peace. maybe thats why i slept. haha. nah it just wasnt to my taste. i dont even like cigarette smoke. drinkings fun though.

god were hardcore.

[Illmatic]

I like smoking cigarettes too. I treat my body like ****.

[RNR]

It's not about being hardcore. It's about making your brain go zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooom!

[Against Miik!]

I like smoking cigarettes too. I treat my body like ****.

.ew

[HempKnight]

yea and i prefer smoking to drinking, i guess its cuz their two different kinda highs and i find people usually prefer one or the other, drink away my friend :chug:

[Badmoon]

I dig chronic, but shrooms just suck.

That's not how most feel. With mushrooms you are actually getting a mental and visual experience. Other than just feeling numb and acting stupid.

[HempKnight]

eh we all gotta go some day some of us will just go with layer upon layer of yellow gunk in our lungs :thumb:

[Illmatic]

That's not how most feel. With mushrooms you are actually getting a mental and visual experience. Other than just feeling numb and acting stupid.

Whatever you think, pal. I tried shrooms and I hated it. It's just not fun. You can't really do shrooms with friends.

[PinkFreud]

I like smoking cigarettes too. I treat my body like ****.

amen brother.

[clown_phobia]

Let's stop this drug talk.

You guys forget that drugs kill.

[RNR]

Pot doesn't unless you smoke 548675862682728626582698675862681672562 joints.

[Reaganista]

Music? What's that?

[Against Miik!]

Pot doesn't unless you smoke 548675862682728626582698675862681672562 joints.

Get high, make stupid decisions, stupid decisions kill. It's not like you can say it doesn't happen. Anyway, speaking of weed...who like classic rock?

[clown_phobia]

Pot doesn't unless you smoke 548675862682728626582698675862681672562 joints.

Yeah, but your body sorta gets used to it. So, you have to smoke more to get the same high. Then, to get the same high you have to take heroin or something.

And that kills.

[RNR]

Classic rock rocks :cool:

Whenever i'm listening to Won't Get fooled Again by The Who when it's the YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! part I always turn it up to full volume. Anyone else do this?

[PinkFreud]

Get high, make stupid decisions, stupid decisions kill. It's not like you can say it doesn't happen. Anyway, speaking of weed...who like classic rock?

haha. hey i do! whos band i havent seen mentioned in a while...any of you guys listen to the zombies? or van morrison?

[Reaganista]

Classic rock rocks :cool:

Whenever i'm listening to Won't Get fooled Again by The Who when it's the YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! part I always turn it up to full volume. Anyone else do this?

Yeah, all the time!

I also turn it way up when I listen to Bridge over troubled water, but that's just because my recording was transferred at volume -50% or something like that.

[Ulysses]

I jump around the living room when no ones home whilst pumping The Kinks and The Who on the stereo, "My Generation" is always good for getting fired up, classic rock drives me. On the contrary getting stoned with mates to the the Beatles, Cream and Pink Floyd is class.

[Sgt._Joker]

classic rock is the sh*t!

thats all, but classic rock> newer grunge n punk rock,

we need less punk bands and more bands influenced by the who and the stones, and the beatles!!!!

like oasis!

[Illmatic]

Hate to burst your bubble there, but Oasis sucks.

[Illmatic]

You guys forget that drugs kill.

We all gotta go eventually.

- Still have enough for one CD.


...classic rock is cool.

Congrats on getting high. I'm excited for tomorrow. One easy final at 8:30 in the morning then no school til Tuesday. I'm gonna be so baked all weekend, me and all my friends and associates are uniting for one big blaze fest.

Tell me how the shrooms go, I tried to buy some over the Christmas holidays, but it never ended up happening. That's what happens when your drug dealer is a seventeen year old wigger with no brain.

By a Zamfir cd. Good music to chill out to.

edit- and I like Oasis, they wrote some good songs in the nineties, nothing too fancy, but the talent was there. Plus Liam is always good for entertainment (who pays to watch boxing these days?).

[RNR]

classic rock is the sh*t!

thats all, but classic rock> newer grunge n punk rock,

we need less punk bands and more bands influenced by the who and the stones, and the beatles!!!!

like oasis!

What we need is less harcore and emo bands. My god, it's like every new band is either some piece of crap hardcore band or a whiney generic emo band. Just look at www.purevolume.com. Every freaking young band these days is emo or hardcore and maybe a little punk. It's like the **** english sciffle outbreak exept the sccifler had more talent!

sheeshers. :(. My band's going to be good though.


/rant over.

[thickasabrick]

I was watching a Simple Plan video yesterday, and it was the exact same thing every other band like that is doing, no originality at all.

The singer tried to sound angst driven and angry (failed)
They all had matching black shirts, blue jeans, and died black hair (gelled of course)
They all started playing matching black and white guitars/basses (to match their clothes and hair)

I was like WTF, they spend more time on their image than their music...every little aspect of their video had to be colour coordinated black and white to make them look more hardcore and angry, whatever happened to the days when each band member had his own style, and the instruments didn't have to match, they had to sound good. I would hate to hear Simple Plan live, it would be more like a fashion show than a concert, they probably just have a catwalk/runway at their concerts, not a stage.

[RNR]

I've seen them live on muchmusic because my brother was watching. They're amazingly sloppy considering how easy their songs are.

[lunch998]

Classic rock rocks :cool:

Whenever i'm listening to Won't Get fooled Again by The Who when it's the YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! part I always turn it up to full volume. Anyone else do this?

Best scream in any song. Ever.

[IAJP]

I love the Who.
Especially that song.
Does anyone like "Sister Disco" ?

I lost interest pretty much completely after Quadrophenia. There are a few good tracks in the later years, but I wasn't big into most of it.

[IAJP]

Meh, I'm not a fan of the last..three who albums.
Allthough Eminence Front is a fecking amazing song.

That's one of the few good tracks I was refering to. Without Moon on drums I still think of it as a whole different band though.

[Gone Shootin']

AC/DC has got to be the best classic rock band out there.

No they aren't.

[Illmatic]

No.

[IAJP]

AC/DC weren't about the music, they were about raw agression.
But no ammount of raw agression can make up, for what really was, lack of musical tallent and writing abilty.
I enjoy listening to high voltage though.

Yeah, I got Who Are You for christmas, and it was fairly unimpressive. I got it because I absolutly love the title song (one of my favorite Who songs definitly). I find the album too synthy for my tastes.

Would anyone consider The End by The Doors an epic?

AC/DC were originally about the music. I really like their seventies stuff, Bon Scott was great. The music they made with Brian Johnson just seemed too repetative. The thing about AC/DC is that they wanted to play simple, 3 chord trick rock, in the same decade when bands like Pink Floyd were trying to do exactly the opposite. I think they wrote great songs, they never tried to spark a new revolution, or change the direction of music, or blow anyones minds, they just wanted to play Rock n Roll, which I think they did a good job of doing.

edit- I do consider The End an epic, even if it were only like five minutes long, it is still an epic concept/song. Being that it's over ten minutes, I'd say it's surely an epic. And I laugh how you make sure you included the fact that "your brother" was watching Simple Plan, not you.

[RNR]

Well he was. I was insulting him for watching it :p

When I think of AC/DC I think of Bon Scott. Most people think of Brain Johnson. Most people have never heard anything pre highway to hell exept for TNT. Thier Best Albums are Dirty Deed Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, Powerage and Jailbreak 74. All Bon Scott. Also Angus stopped playing fast solos when Brian came. In the md 70s he had some fret blazers I tells ya.

[thickasabrick]

Let There Be Rock is my favourite AC/DC album. It seems very slightly influenced by the punk music that was surrounding the mainstream. Most of the songs were done live, and it has a very edgy, high energy sound to it (more than any other album they released). Whole Lotta Rosie has some great solos in it, I really like that whole album. From Powerage and on they kinda settled down, and refined their sound. Live tracks weren't used as much, a lot of overdubbing and studio EQ type stuff was used, so everything was more polished, yet less energetic.

edit- I'm in a predicament. I don't have a final exam tomorrow, I just have to type up a good copy of a story I wrote and hand it in (not a lot of work). My parents just left, and won't be home til like 9 tonight (it's like 2 here). Should I toke up and type up my story while high? Or just keep working til I'm done and then get high?

Eh, do half of it now, take a break and smoke, then do the other half.

[thickasabrick]

Problem solved.

edit- Oh man, Pipe at the Gates of Dawn trips me out. You always forget what a great guitarist Syd Barret is until you listen to his music again. If he stuck around longer and focused more on the guitar in his songs he could have taken Hendrix's place as the premier psychadelic rock guitarist.

[Badmoon]

^No he couldn't have. Barret's talent wasn't that huge, and I'm sure many other Psychedelic guitarist are pissed that you put him over them.

[ATM]

He was good, but he is no Hendrix.

[lunch998]

I honestly do not see why some people regard Barrett as some type of God. He wrote good psychadelic songs, but only has one good album. The band was able to eventually evolve into so much more with Gilmour on guitar and Waters doing most of the writing than I think they would have if Syd had stayed. If Syd continued in the band, it is quite possible they would have faded out with many other late 60s psychadelic bands because they would not have been able to evolve.

But who knows....just my opinion.

[magicbus]

Barret isn't very good at guitar. And I'm pretty sure he didn't plan on improving any time soon (according to bandmates.)

[lunch998]

Yea, I didn't even get to that. Musically he was very limited.

[jpj]

Yea, I don't think he was to overly talented as a guitar player, but PATGOD is so amazing. Is Syd's solo stuff similar to it?

I believe his writing was overrated. He wrote silly/stupid early Beatle like songs. But where they had good melodies and progressed, be didn't really.

No, but I'd though that you would have at least heard the Allman Brothers, so I was making sure you weren't confusing it with something else. Don't have your period on me.

The early Beatles wrote every single song about love and basiclly sounded all alike. He wrote the most psychedellic songs. Oh and early Dead wasn't very good.

Anthem of the Sun < Piper at the Gates of Dawn anyday hope you agree.

alot of floyd's stuff is fairly british as well as oasis and the streets. Alot of brits you can still tell are british when they sing it's just not the same distinct accent.

[Johnny B. Good]

Well I was thinking of Eric Clapton who doesn't sound that British and the same with Jack Bruce and Robert Plant and Bono, actually even when Bono talks he doesn't sound Irish

[Against Miik!]

Clapton sounds a little British when he talk, but when he sings you can hardly notice it.
