Classic Rock

[Coniston]

Yes, classic rock is becoming more popular anongst teenagers these days. Not all of them but at least a minority of us are classic rockers. Like I'm 15 and there's nothing else I listen to. Teenagers these days are not familiar with one of the greatest rock and rool guitarists ever though, Jeff Beck.

[RNR]

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:

:eek: Have fun :)

*is planning on doing the whole put his brain in your body and see those shows dealy*

:evil:

[Badmoon]

I feel like some "Statesboro Blues" ;).

[RNR]

*pretends he knows what that is*

:)

[Oldschoolfreak]

The best bands are all old shcool/classic rock. There isn't a band out there that is half as good as the Clash or the Ramones or AC/DC (My favorites) well, AC/DC is still making records and touring long live Angus! But seriously people in my shcool don't even know who Joe Sturmmer is, I know shocking huh. Yeah, the all watch the rock 'n' roll murderer TV channel (aka MTV). There are awesome bands out there right now that aren't on MTV. Like the Dropkick Murphys. I think we should all start a revolution and kill MTV. :evil:

[RNR]

I think we should all start a revolution and kill MTV. :evil:

Already underway. Just sit tight my friend :)

I agree with everything you said exept for the clash and the ramones being good thing. They were early punk. Early punk may be better than recent punk but it's still punk right? Ahh.

[Badmoon]

*pretends he knows what that is*

Don't tell me you don't know that song.

Allman Brothers live at Fillmore East track #1.

[Paranoidd]

Whipping Post on the second disc is really good too :D

[RockAndRoll]

Man tonight was awesome, Randy Bachman really got everybody going! and in the middle of hey you they tied it in with a few other songs including honky tonk woman and wild thing, it was done amazingly. I had a great spot too, right at the front by the stage, dead center. It started raining (pretty hard) during lighthouse's set but it just helped everyone loosen up although the roadies were busy some of the equipment near the edge of the stage didn't get soaked.

This one lady was insane though she was right at the front, sitting down the whole time and she was cranky and pissing off at everyone. When one of the balls that were flying around came to her she just held on to it and was being insanely bitchy about it. Meh, I had an awesome time.

[VoodooChild]

Since we're talking about the Bros... I bought Shades of Two Worlds a month or two ago and...... THAT is where it's at! "Come On In My Kitchen", "Kind of Bird", and "Nobody Knows" are amazing songs. Strongly recomended and don't let the release date (1991) fool you. They still show tons of skill like they did in the early-mid 70's. NOW GO AND BUY THE FUDGIN' ALBUM.






























YOU JERKASORUS!!!!













































Seriously, go buy it...
























































Sorry for the spam, today I'm wild.

[RockAndRoll]

^ Have you done a CD review? If not you should!

[RNR]

Don't tell me you don't know that song.

Allman Brothers live at Fillmore East track #1.

Indeed I don't. Can't expect me to know everything.

[LedFloyd7923]

classic rock is making a huge comeback thanks to vh1's "i love the 70's"

[RNR]

^no thanks to the MUSIC! vh1 is doing **** squat didily doo if ya know what I mean.

[Paranoidd]

Guys this will probably be one of my last posts for the next couple weeks, as I'm off to Italy. Hopefully I'll get laid on the beach. Hopefully the chicks shave, too. I'm going to try and start a Zeppelin sing along on the plane, so I'll see how that goes.

I leave tomorrow and still haven't packed :lol:

See ya in a couple!

:wave:

[RNR]

What song? Make it the immigrant song. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wave: have fun

[cloud_strife3k]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

Well, well. Someone has finally noticed it... Well, actually I have seen a swarm of classic rock lovers. But one must also consider that when you are into a particular thing, it seems to be prevalent around you. For example, when I got into my star wars phase, it seemed like everyone was into star wars. But yes, classic rock is coming back (finally). Being 15 years old, I actually see a lot of classic rock t-shirts. My favourite bands are pink floyd and led zeppelin. I see lots of led zeppelin shirts, but not enough pink floyd shirts. Give one of the greatest rock bands some credit. Actually, I think that most people misread pink floyd's music. It is not music to get high to. Their music tells a story. Listen to it, maybe you'll understand. Anyway, one may ask: "what's wrong with today's music?" Well, I'll tell you. Lack of creativity. One group ttries to mimic what other crap groups do. Rap songs: all you do is come up with some words that rhyme and put them to synthesized music. Alternative rock: all the bands sound the same. They play nothing but chords and simple riffs. No good solos. What happened to the solos? Bands have nothing to define themselves these days. Led zeppelin had robert plant's unique voice, jimmy page's rough riffs, john bonham's crazy drum solos, and john paul jones's basslines. Pink floyd had their own complete sound. These days everyone's voices even sound the same. people show up on tv too often, too. they have no time to write good quality songs. The message conveyed is important, too. today's groups sing about "i don't give a f***." Classic rockers sing about love, about life. Another thing that makes classic groups like led zeppelin great is their cultural diversity. The song white summer by led zeppelin is (i think) old indian style. Whatever musical elements classic groups could find, they found a way to use. That lacks these days. You can tell if a group spent their time trying to get a song perfect. Listen to led zeppelin's achilles last stand and you will see what i mean. these days, groups rush their recording, not attempting perfection. In essence, classic rock is more creative than modern rock. Listen to it and you will see.

Many good points, except that Jimmy Page originally did White Summer with the Yardbirds, IIRC :thumb:

[Badmoon]

Is anybody from around West Virginia?

[RNR]

Jeff Healy Band!

[G CHORD KING]

The music is being played on the modern rock radio stations is godawful. Thats the main reason why I turned to classic rock to save my ears from such terrible noise. I have noticed a great increase in the popularity of classic rock, myself included in this trend.

[G CHORD KING]

cloud strife3k, great post. I have noticed this lack of creativity you talk about as well.

[RNR]

Jeff Healy Band!!!!!!

[VoodooChild]

See the Light and Feel This is where it's at!!!! It's amazing that he's blind. Most of his guitar work is out of this world. I still gotta pick up Hell To Pay. Great band!!!

This IS my last post before Italy. I leave in 12 hours. I thought this was interesting:

[nirvana_bass]

Ive noticed more ppl listning to classic rock, like zeppelin and ac/dc

[Marceau1379]

At thirteen my dad introduced me to Jimi Hendrix's music since then I have been a classic rock junkie. I've noticed a bit of revival among teenagers lately and I've been encouraging them. As far as bands bringing the sound back I'm a big fan of Jet. Their stuff reminds me of old Iggy Pop and AC/DC stuff. I hope more show up to help return Rock to the time before punk.

Another great example of classic rock groups blending varied musical styles is Iron Butterfly's "Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida" It's a crazy psychedelic love song consits mostly of instrumental. But a major part of Iron Butterfly's sound is a church organ. Check it out for seventeen minutes of great psychedelic rock.

[Badmoon]

^Well, the organ is what Psychedelia is led by.

[RNR]

sometimes the synth too. The doors had a good organ, synth, keyboards player. What was his name again?

[Badmoon]

Ray Manzarek. He rarely used a synth though, atleat compared to the organ. More organ, watch some of the videos.

But if a keyboard is making an organ sound then yes.

[RNR]

Yeah. The doors are so tripfying, I think i'll listen to them :). Lihgt my fire has some dang good organ parts :)

[magicbus]

I love The Doors for the organ-ness. Listening to them makes me wish I knew how to play piano and all that.

On another note, The Very Best of Cream is a good cd! Yay Cream!

[RNR]

Well obviously.

[magicbus]

Heh, but I just bought it like an hour ago and am listening to it now. That's why!

[johnbonham616]

led zeppelin is my favorite band, but the beatles were probably the most revolutionary band out there. and of course there were other great bands and musicians like :

cream
eric clapton
the rolling stones
the who
van halen
peter frampton

and many others that i forgot

[johnbonham616]

does anyone out there like adam ant

[Badmoon]

^I don't care for him that much.

[Lithium2112]

im listening to this song remains the same soundtrack... i just digged it up out of my old lps, realllly good

one of the best live bands ever, zeppelin is

[fendercustomstrat]

I started listening to The Eagles at 5, Pink Floyd at 10 and Hendrix when I started playing guitar at 12. From there, Zep, Cream, Allman Brothers, Beatles, Stones, Doors, Tull, anything, including '40s be-bop and most importantly the Blues artists such as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Robert Johnson that guys like Hendrix, Clapton, and Jimmy Page worshipped.

[RNR]

im listening to this song remains the same soundtrack... i just digged it up out of my old lps, realllly good

one of the best live bands in the first 10 yeats of threm being a band ever, zeppelin is

fixed. Page still remembered his solos and plant sang the songs at least close to what they were supposed to sound like. Ahh the glory days before all of the drugs :)

[RNR]

I'm listening in Kim Mitchell-rockland. Kim Mitchel>you

Man, George Thorogood get me pumped! I'm listening to Bad to the Bone right now. Kick *** album. In the middle of "New Boogie Chillun".

EDIT: Dude above me. That is scary. We are totaly on the same page. Evil minds think alike. :evil: :p :thumb: Scary coincidence :amaze:

[Broken Arrow]

I just went to a music festival in London Ont. and it was all Calssic Rock. It was awesome. Alice Cooper was there!! And Steppenwolf ,Randy Bachman and April Wine.

[FUNKNBASS]

When talking about classic rock and the legends no body seems to give any credit to MC5 they were playing heavy and crazy in the 60's.

[DaveSavesTheDay]

van halen are right up there in my fvourite band list

[RNR]

I just went to a music festival in London Ont. and it was all Calssic Rock. It was awesome. Alice Cooper was there!! And Steppenwolf ,Randy Bachman and April Wine.

:eek: That must of been great. Randy Bachman is even better today than he has ever been. Alice cooper rocks, so does april wine, I don't care too much for steppenwolf but they're alright.

[Badmoon]

We talk about them :)

[RNR]

You would think that in 83 pages of a thread talking about nothing but classic rock that we would of mentioned them at least once...

[RockAndRoll]

I just went to a music festival in London Ont. and it was all Calssic Rock. It was awesome. Alice Cooper was there!! And Steppenwolf ,Randy Bachman and April Wine.

Dude, that's the same one I went to! Man wasn't that ****ing sweet? I up at the front every show (I cought a pic during the alice cooper show). I can't beleive april wine played 21st century schizoid man, that was awesome, and the drum solo :D! The whole kill bill thing (and the gang bit) alice did was top notch. The whole thing Randy bachman did in hey you was really cool too, and the little drumstick bit.

That must of been great. Randy Bachman is even better today than he has ever been. Alice cooper rocks, so does april wine, I don't care too much for steppenwolf but they're alright.
You don't care too much for steppenwolf? the band that gave us Magic Carpet Ride, Born to be wild, Rock me baby, The pusher? This is a sad day for rock :p.

[magicbus]

You don't care too much for steppenwolf? the band that gave us Magic Carpet Ride, Born to be wild, Rock me baby, The pusher? This is a sad day for rock :p.

Man, Magic Carpet Ride, that song is freakin awesome. Its all like..can't explain it. Just so cool. That song pumps me up.

[RNR]

You don't care too much for steppenwolf? the band that gave us Magic Carpet Ride, Born to be wild, Rock me baby, The pusher? This is a sad day for rock :p.

Can I not have my own opinon and music taste? And I didn't say that I didn't like them. Just not as much as Alice cooper and Bachman which were at that show. And I don't like them as much a a ton of other bands but they are pretty good.

[magicbus]

Does anybody like Bob Seger? My friend just bought his live cd and apparently he really likes him. I know he's from Michigan or whatever, but I just don't enjoy his music. To me there's nothing special about it, its just not catchy. Any thoughts?

No, no one's alowed to have their own opinion! I guess you didn't catch on(afterall it's hard to tell on the internet) but I was joking. Anyways, I like them and they put on a good show.

I love Bob Seger. He has a great voice, is a great song writter, his band is kick *** and he's one of the greatest performers in the history of rock and roll, in my opinon.

Righty then :)

[VoodooChild]

We need more bands to talk about

War - I love this band. Currently I'm trying to pile up on their CD's but I still got ways to go. What I love aobut them is that they are a Classic Funkish Soulish Latinish Jam Band. They always provide awesome jams and great lyrics. The mellow funk grooves just hit the spot for me. They're quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. So far my favorite work of theirs is on All Day Music . It's their second album and probably their best. All 7 songs are a joy to listen with "Baby Brother" and "All Day Music" being my favorites. I recomend this album highly. Now lets see what you guys think.

[Badmoon]

The last great discussion we had was on The Allman Brothers.

[RNR]

We've had so many great discussions we're running out of bands and songs and such. So what are you guys listening to? I'm listening to jeff Healey band- Cover to cover. Man that guy gets a lot of great colaberations (sp)? George Harrison, Eric clapton, Mark Knopfler... :eek: All for some blind guy.

[StreetlightRock]

Deep Purple - Woman from Tokyo... playing along to it with my guitar. Man i love jsut sitting in front of my comp and listeing to CR songs and improvising solos and stuff to them, alot of them rely on quite a few of the same 'type' of notes and all, anyone else do this?

DVG.

[RNR]

That's what I do a lot. Exept only acoustic and I can't play solos as well on acoustic then electric.

[StreetlightRock]

I play alot of melodic solos on acoutics... so if its like a love song, id use an acoustic. *shrug* "Here comes salvation in the shape of my guitar!" Deep Purple - Lick it up... this song rocks!

DVG.

[RNR]

Here comes Jeff Healey stop breakin' down. Jeff Healey>Richie Blackmore.

Tr00th

[B0nz0]

hey guys i'm back and i'm seeing the doobie brothers tommorow night

[Whatever]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

The Yardbirds have a new cd? what's the lineup?

[RNR]

hey guys i'm back and i'm seeing the doobie brothers tommorow night

Yay, I missed you :). We kept the thread in good shape for ya. Doobie brothers sounds like it will be good. Is it like a bar show or are they playing an all ages venue?

[B0nz0]

all ages venue. then next week i'm seeing peter frampton. He'll play two songs that everyone will love and no1 will care about the rest of the show. but i'm totally psyched.

[RNR]

Lol I can't see the allman bros cause they keep playing bars. God dangit.

[B0nz0]

ooo and while i was gone, i went to the st. louis jazz festival. I TOUCHED WYNTON MARSALLEIS. and got his autograph. that was an awesome concert. Other updates, i got two new cds. I was upset with my complete lack of a beach boys album so i got their latest greatest hits album: Sounds of Summer: the Beach Boys Greatest Hits. It's amazing. 30 Godlike songs for $10. get it now. And i got Concert For George which is also great and well worth the money. Only low is Tom Petty's singing on 3 tracks. But it's made up for by the best versions of Something, While my Guitar Gently Weeps, and My Sweet Lord. Even Ringo turns in a spectacular performance. But the biggest standout is probably Billy Preston, also known as the 5th Beatle. His vocals and keyboard work on My Sweet Lord and Isn't It a Pity are truly awe inspiring. Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra also turns in some great performances, as does Joe Brown. And Clapton and McCartney are of course outstanding as usual.

By the way guys, thanks for keeping this thread going, when i started it i had no idea it would be so successful, but look at it now: one of the biggest threads in R&M with over 2000 posts!

[Badmoon]

Jeff Healey>Richie Blackmore.


Bullshit

The Yardbirds have a new cd? what's the lineup?

Well, it's not really new now.

[Whatever]

Bullshit



Well, it's not really new now.

when was it released?

[B0nz0]

when was it released?

over a year ago. it's amazing though. it's called Birdland and you MUST get it...

[RNR]

Bullshit



Oh that's right, cause a sort of above average guitarist from the 60s and 70s is automaticly better than a really good one from the 80s/90s. The older they are and if they are from a well known band that got 80 percent of it's same from one bad powerchord riff that all of the 10 years can play counts for points :rolleyes:

[Whatever]

over a year ago. it's amazing though. it's called Birdland and you MUST get it...

what's the lineup?

and

is jeff beck dead?

[Badmoon]

^What the hell are you talking about? Yes, I like Blackmore's playing more because he's from the 60's and 70's :rolleyes:. Quit making assumptions. It's like your looking for an excuse to why I find Blackmore better.

EDIT: Nice edit too :thumb: :rolleyes:.

[RNR]

And I find Healey better. I find he has more technical skill and is better at songwritting. We will leave it at a conflict of opinons.

[Badmoon]

For all you know, I could have said, "No that's wrong! Healy > all. But you got to jump the gun, right?


EDIT: Fine

[RNR]

Indeed. Sorry about making the assumption.

[B0nz0]

what's the lineup?

and

is jeff beck dead?
no jeff beck is not dead, he plays on a song on the album. they also have people like slash, satriani, jeff baxter, john reznick, and many more playing on the album. These are just guests on some songs though. They added a new lead guitarist to take the place of clapton, page, and beck, and he seems to be up to the task believe it or not. And they needed a new singer cuz their old singer/harmonica person died. But the new person they have on harmonica is GOD. His solos sound like an electric guitar solo complete with distortion and stuff...

[magicbus]

Deep Purple - Woman from Tokyo... playing along to it with my guitar. Man i love jsut sitting in front of my comp and listeing to CR songs and improvising solos and stuff to them, alot of them rely on quite a few of the same 'type' of notes and all, anyone else do this?

DVG.

Man I pulled out the Cream yesterday and did that for hours, mostly over strange brew and born under a bad sign. That is some inspirational stuff. I love improvising.

[RockAndRoll]

all ages venue. then next week i'm seeing peter frampton. He'll play two songs that everyone will love and no1 will care about the rest of the show. but i'm totally psyched.
Peter Frampton is coming here too. So is Yes, unfortunately I doubt I'll get to see either of them :(.

[B0nz0]

Peter Frampton is coming here too. So is Yes, unfortunately I doubt I'll get to see either of them :(.
poor man. the frampton tickets for me are only $20 a person!!

[RNR]

is that what frampton's worth these days? Kids...

[magicbus]

Make sure he makes his guitar talk! Also this thread was slipping off page 1 again..

[magicbus]

Also my friend went to a Grateful Dead concert and said he met a bunch of people who were 100% insane. Like this guy named "papa bear" sat by them and gave out pancakes. And he said the solos were crazy long ones. So, yep.

[RNR]

:eek: oh no slipping off the first page :rolleyes:. It goes off the first page in 2 minutes sometimes. There are too many stickied threads and too many bad threads being made. Don't be afraid to bump it off the 4th pages cause that only means it hasen't got posted in for an hour.

[Hey Mr. Light Man]

The Doors (my second alltime favorite band), Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis (sort of Classic Rock), Black Sabbath (also very iffy), CCR (Don't listen to much though, sadly), Grateful Dead (same deal, I dont have enough Dead), etc.

Oh, yeah, I'm one of those teenagers who likes it, for the record, I am 13.

[Nova12]

I cannot get over Rush. They are ultimately my favourite band in all of music. I listen to all of Classic Rock really. All the old stuff is coming back and I am one of them.

[magicbus]

Grateful dead fans are exesive lsd and pot users. I wouldn't be surprised. Great band though. They have some of the best concerts ever.

So I hear. Wish I could've gone too.

[B0nz0]

i love it when ppl like this put in off topic posts after reading only the first post in an 85 page thread. they could at least bother reading the last half page so they say something relevant. geez

so are there any sly stone fans here?

Yeah we just kinda have half a page discussions in this thread. They would join in or something.

Sadly i've never heard of sly stone. :( Whoever they are. Could you list some songs by them or albums?

[B0nz0]

Sly and the Family Stone is their full names. Sadly all i have is a compilation album, but they are quite upbeat rock, laced with funk and soul. They performed at Woodstock, and therefore definately qualify as classic rock. Sly Stone himself overdosed shortly after.
They are best known for the song "Everyday People" which you may know from Toyota commercials.
Other great songs include "Dance to the Music," "I Wanna Take You Higher," "Everybody is a Star," "You Can Make it if you Try," "Hot Fun in the Summer Time," "It's a Family Affair," and many many more.

My personal Favorite though it "thank you (falletinme be mice elf agin)", pronounced thank you for letting me be myself again. if u like these i can give u more....

[VoodooChild]

So, I guess no one likes War. :upset: They're a good band!!! Check them out.

Richie is better than Jeff but not by much. But Jeff is blind so it's still amazing how he can play guitar.

[B0nz0]

i only know one war song. but it kicks ***. and it has a cow bell. and it's called "low rider"!

:( Blindness must count for something. Ah whatever.

Nice explanation of sly stone bonzo.

[SKAGUITARIST]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

CLASSIC ROCK IS THE REALL ROCK , it puts these crappy metal bands that just scream through a song to shame

LONG LIVE ROCK

[Badmoon]

I bought Gov't Mule - self titled today :)

[Dead Or Alive]

Same here all these bands and song came out long befor me but cause of my dad ive been jammin to kiss and led zepplin and ac dc since i was 2

[RNR]

My dad doesn't like kiss and AC/DC. He's more like badmoon in music taste. Oh exept for he likes zeppelin.

[B0nz0]

my dad doesn't like ac/dc either

i don't like kiss, nor does my dad.

we both love led zeppelin.

[BillCosby]

So, I guess no one likes War. :upset: They're a good band!!! Check them out.


WAR!

I love War so much, my friend opened for them live. :D

[B0nz0]

WAR!

u have a lucky friend. how did he manage that?

[RockAndRoll]

poor man. the frampton tickets for me are only $20 a person!!
Hmm that's pretty cheap, I should check how much they are here, but i'm pretty broke right now, I've only got 31$, it's all in my account too. Even though today I made 120$ that's all gone to my band.

[RockAndRoll]

WAR!

I love War so much, my friend opened for them live. :D
Details please :D

[RNR]

u have a lucky friend. how did he manage that?

War's either really crappy (probably not, I haven't heard anything by them) or his friend is very very good.

[BillCosby]

u have a lucky friend. how did he manage that?

He a really good drummer, goes to special school and everything.

He plays in his Dad's blues band and they have been playing the venue for a long time now and so when War came to town they got the opening spot.

[RNR]

:eek: My friend says that Bob Dylan wrote house of the rising sun. But I'm not completely sure of that. Does anybody know?

[Badmoon]

I'm pretty sure it's a traditional piece. So, no one's sure who exactly wrote it.

[RNR]

Then i'm claiming it as my own!

*runs away like a madman* hahahaha first I have to kill Bob Dylan and the remaining members of the animals! Moon, who else covered it? I have to kill them all.

[Badmoon]

hahaha :lol:

Jerry Garcia and David Grisman.

[RNR]

Really? Jerry garcia? Maybe i'll just kidnap him and keep him in my basement. Same with bob dylan. I can make them perform for me :)

[RockAndRoll]

I've always known it as an animals tune....

But I mean, you won't have to kill me or anything I'll go with whatever you say... I swear to god I won't tell anybody, just please don't hurt me. *cries*

[Badmoon]

Garcia's dead :p

[RNR]

**** I really have to pay attention to music news. Meh it's hard to tell who's alive and whos dead, especially in classic rock cause they are all dying anyway. This just means less work for me :)

[BillCosby]

He's an uptight asshole though. :thumb:

I like War! I missed the conversation! But my dad has a bunch of their albums, I enjoy listening to them.

[magicbus]

:eek: My friend says that Bob Dylan wrote house of the rising sun. But I'm not completely sure of that. Does anybody know?

No he didn't. It's like a really old blues song by some guy who I don't remember, and everybody covered it. Like Dylan, The Animals, The Ventures, and I know Hendrix did a song with the same name, but not sure if its the sames chords and all. Anybody know about that?

[magicbus]

"According to folklorist Alan Lomax in his book Our Singing Country (1941), the melody of "The House of the Rising Run" is a traditional English ballad and the lyrics were written by Georgia Turner and Bert Martin (both from Kentucky). The song was first recorded in the 1920s by black bluesman Texas Alexander and later covered by Leadbelly, Charlie Byrd, Roy Acuff, Woody Guthrie, the Weavers, Peter, Paul & Mary, Henry Mancini, Dolly Parton, David Allan Coe, John Fahey, Waylon Jennings, Tim Hardin, Buster Poindexter, Marianne Faithful, Tracy Chapman and Bob Dylan . . . just to name a few. "

[RNR]

sometimes we spamzor too much in this thread. like we get off topic.

On topic is anybody else completely sick of Kiss? I mean seriously, their music is annoying and repetitive and they're just one big gimick. Their fans are pretty much the stupidest fans in music (not because they like kiss cause they can do what they want, because Kiss just attracts those kinds of people). The kinds of people who are impressed by explosions and 30 second guitar solos that are of medium speed and difficulty.

Anybody else with me??

*prepares for a flaming* :(

[B0nz0]

i agree completely. they have one good song. just one. and it's merely good. it's not great. i'm not even going to say what it is cuz it's rather obvious. that and the makeup scares me. You know gene simmons majored in education in college? could u imagine having him as ur teacher if his music career fell through?

[RNR]

^that would be kinda cool actually ;)

[B0nz0]

i dunno, he would throw up blood all over ur tests and scare the crap out of the third graders. i mean i'm pretty sure we're talking elementary school here...

Technical music means shat to me. And I like Ace's guitar work.

[B0nz0]

What do u guys think of the beach boys. I think they are amazing. I love the vocals, the harmonies, the catchy songs, the surf guitar, the upbeat music, and well pretty much everything about them. What do u guys think?

[RNR]

The beach boys started a whole revelution (both of American lifestyles and music) on their own. I have much respect for them. Their music is so catchy. I can't help but loving them.

[Humor99]

I love the Beach Boys, but what I can't understand is everyone's obsession with Pet Sounds. The only song on that album that I really like is "Wouldn't It Be Nice," the rest just doesn't grab me. Too mellow maybe? I don't know. Anybody feel the same?

[B0nz0]

i especially love songs like "little deuce coop", "fun fun fun," "help me rhonda," "barbra ann," "kokomo," "come go with me," "the sloop john b," and "dance, dance, dance."

of course i love "surfin usa," "surfin safari," "get around," and "california girls" too, but my absolute favorite beach boys is def "good vibrations"

and about pet sounds, i don't actually have it but i like a bunch of the songs on it, like god only knows and i think the sloop john b was on that too. hmmmmm. o well i like it.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

No, I fully agree. I have never understood the love people have for Kiss. Mediocre music, a seriously overdone boring image...I just don't get them. Anyone care to explain why they like them? :cool:

i used to agree with you. I was not a Kiss fan at all. Until i saw them live. There is something about a Kiss live show that brings new fans into the band. Kiss are not about technical playing or impressing people, they are about the songwriting and the message. 90% of their songs are about sex and the way they craft them is fantastic. Granted the good musicians in the band came later in their career (Bruce Kulick, Eric Singer) the original lineup and the sound and the attitude to attract fans the way they did. No one had a live show like Kiss, not even Alice Cooper (whom Kiss learned alot from) and if you ask anyone who played a les paul in the 1970s and early 80's they would tell you it was becuase of their love for Ace. Kiss is so universal to listen to, theres no thought involved when putting on a Kiss cd...their music is uplifiting, catchy, and memorable and thats something that alot of musicians cant be taught is having the right ear to write music people want to hear and not just want you want to make. Also, it had to do with the time period. Kiss were the band your parents and society hated you to like, and thats what drove so many fans to them. They werent affraid of pissing people off and when Kiss came out they wanted to give people the best bang for their buck with live shows because they felt to many bands cheated people out of a memorable live perfomance. Kiss were what kept the fun in rock n roll whereas to many people take it to sersoiusly by putting so many restrictions and limitations onto a rock band. Its hard to explain, but if you ever get the chance to experience a Kiss live show youd have a new respect for them...not to say youd like them, but you might get a better understanding where it came from. :thumb:

[Humor99]

and about pet sounds, i don't actually have it but i like a bunch of the songs on it, like god only knows and i think the sloop john b was on that too. hmmmmm. o well i like it.

I guess I can say I like "God Only Knows" too, but most of the album is just not for me. I like the older Beach Boys material, but I guess it's just an opinion.

[B0nz0]

I guess I can say I like "God Only Knows" too, but most of the album is just not for me. I like the older Beach Boys material, but I guess it's just an opinion.

what are ur thoughts on "good vibrations" then?

and some of their later stuff was great, like "kokomo".

and for the record, surf guitar is my favorite style of guitar. i mean there's no way you cannot love it...

[RNR]

God only knows is my favorite song by them. Well from what i've heard. :) :) :)

[Badmoon]

I love Pet Sounds. Every song is great, IMO.

It's also funny that on most greatest albums lists, Pet Sounds is almost always #2, and number is hardly ever the same.

[RockAndRoll]

I don't really like kiss. I find their songs mediocre at best. 90% of songs are about sex... and their music is about the message? I think that'd get a little bit repetitive. They are about impressing people, more so then I would say they're about the music, what do you think all those explosions and all that makeup and such are for? I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I saw an alice cooper show a while ago and he put on a great show, due in large part to his theatrics - It's just fun to be up there (which is what kiss is actually about). They just seem mediocre to me. Sure if I went to one of their shows I'm sure I'd have a good time. Unfortunatley that's about as far as my liking kiss (at all) goes.

I really don't like gene simmons (from a seeing him in interviews perspective) but that's a whole other story.

I've got to check out the beach boys some more though.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i saw Alice a week after i saw Kiss and both were fantastic stage shows, differnet kinds. Alice as you know is more theatric while Kiss are more over the top with fire and explosions. Its really a thing with Kiss, either you get it or not...i didnt get it but then it clicked, just dont count them out forever :) you might like Ace's solo albums though!! try "trouble walkin'" or his 1978 Kiss solo album for a good idea what they are like.

[RNR]

Alice Cooper is gimicky like kiss but I love alice cooper. His songs are great. I don't care for his antics but i'd go to a concert for the live music and experience.

[jpn211]

I started to like classic rock by listening to my dad's cassette of the eagles hell freezes over, and i got hooked. Zeppelin is by far the best. Rush and Van Halen are really good too. and the yardbirds are very underrated, for the talent they had as the first real guitar band, i believe. but i never got into the beatles, ironically, i find them annoying.

[Badmoon]

Gimicky...How so?? The makeup? Just ask yourself, if you heard some artist wears make up, would you check him out? That is if your talking about that. :)

[Rock'n roll]

yeah Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Eric CLapton,Jimi Hendrix, CCR, Allman Brothers, Lryryd Skryrd, The Beatles, Rolling stones,etc....

[Humor99]

what are ur thoughts on "good vibrations" then?

and some of their later stuff was great, like "kokomo".

and for the record, surf guitar is my favorite style of guitar. i mean there's no way you cannot love it...
Ah, sorry, forgot about those.

I'm not too brushed up on Beach Boys discography, so I don't know exactly where each song falls. 'Endless Summer' is probably my favorite album by them.

[RNR]

Gimicky...How so?? The makeup? Just ask yourself, if you heard some artist wears make up, would you check him out? That is if your talking about that. :)

The makeup yes... The snake and all of the on stange antics aren't so much gimicky but I don't care for them.

[the mighty zep]

I never had a big thing for Kiss either. I was watching a special on them yesterday...probably on VH1, and it went over all the stuff they did to make it big time, and how much better live was than CDs, and how full of themselves they were. But i still dont like them that much. But not because of the makeup or fireblowing things or whatever...i just dont enjoy their songs that much

[Broken Arrow]

They only had one song i acctually liked and that was in th 6th grade

[RNR]

Yeah that sounds right. Ever notice that AC/DC and kiss have the exact same fans? If you're an AC/DC fan you like kiss. Strange no? Exept I like AC/DC and I don't like kiss. But every other AC/DC fan is also a kiss fan. :eek: Am I just not normal or are there other AC/D fans that don't like kiss?

[magicbus]

I don't really like Kiss at all, and used to like AC/DC, but not so much anymore. They have a lot of catchy songs, but I'm starting to get kind of annoyed by them. I guess I'm not really a fan of either.

[the mighty zep]

thats because Kiss and AC/DC are both in music for the same reason...Loud, Insane, Larger than Life Concerts to get the fans pumped up and crazy. But All AC/DCs songs sound the same...and their guitarist admitted it after a later album came out. I still love the band, but having two albums is like havings all their songs.

[RNR]

yeah tr00

[RockAndRoll]

i saw Alice a week after i saw Kiss and both were fantastic stage shows, differnet kinds. Alice as you know is more theatric while Kiss are more over the top with fire and explosions.

I"m sure I'd have a great time at one of thier shows, but as far as their music goes, it just isn't something I really care for. I'll check that stuff out if i can though.

[B0nz0]

I like AC/DC but not Kiss. But i wouldn't exactly consider AC/DC to be my favorite band or anything like that...

[RNR]

I have come to the conclusion that kiss fans don't play music in general :thumb:

[B0nz0]

i have come to the conclusion that kiss doesn't play music in general. can we talk about a real band?

[Badmoon]

Why do you two make false assumptions of bands because you don't like them, and when you know the assumptions aren't true?

I don't like Led Zeppelin, but they do play music, they are a band, and a lot of their fans do play instruments.

[B0nz0]

sorry, that was childish. i'm just tired of talking about kiss. can we talk about the doobie brothers, i just saw them last night. and they kicked ***! they were really really really good...

[Badmoon]

My parents saw them a short time ago, I couldn't go. They went with their friends. I do like them, though I haven't heard that much at all

[RNR]

Why do you two make false assumptions of bands because you don't like them, and when you know the assumptions aren't true?

Alright i'll rephrase it. People on musician forums don't like kiss in general. And I didn't say that they didn't play music. B0nz0 did, and that was sort of cleaver.

Geez man lighten up.


I'd like to see the doobie brothers. They're a great band and it would be a good show. The blues screen is really good these days. With the allmans, kenny wayne shefferd, doobie brothers, zz top, plenty of lesser known bands. Good times for people who can get into bars. :(. Actually it's not as good as it was in the 60s. Still good, better than a lot of this new bland rock.

[RockAndRoll]

My dad picked up some music encyclopedia book from the library today and it's really cool. It's about genres. It has something like 16 main genres and a ton of sub-genres, and it's got a good deal of information on each one, it's pretty interesting stuff. I was just browsing at the Rock section earlier. (did you know Rock n Roll was an american term for sex?)

Anyways more on topic I'd also like to see the doobies!

[Humor99]

I saw the Doobie Bros down in Florida a few years back, too bad I wasn't too into music at that point. I would've appreciated it a lot more now, but the one song that stuck with me: "Jesus is Just Alright With Me"

Good band.

[Badmoon]

B0nz0 did, and that was sort of cleaver

So, it's not music. Must be some random well organized sound.


You lighten up. You freaked out on me, because I sayed "Bullshit" when you said Healy's better than Blackmore. I could have been kiding.

It's just a regular opinion Rock, not a false assumption.

[RNR]

Sorry i'm just a bit edgey. The past few days have been kinda, wow wow coo coo. And i'll agree that blackmore is an amazing guitarist. And accept that you and many other people think that he is better than Healey (even though many people haven't heard enough Healey to judge, not you or rockandroll but many people).

That's all you get :angry: :p

Back to the current blues scene. I really wanna see Kenny Wayne shefferd but he plays a lot in south united sates and doesn't come up north too much.

[StreetlightRock]

Just saw Steve Vai live. Im currently breaking down in tears. Just when you think youre getting better at guitar.... This guy is a frikkin MADMAN! He is AMAZING, and hes band as well. He drummer is jaw dropping and the show itslef is just great. The did some of Jimi Hendrix's songs, Little Wing and Fire and i was blown away. The little wing cover was SO. F'UCKING. GOOD. The bassisst is great, he was soloing and he did this one solo wntirely with harmonics and wow.... Steve Vai himself.... Hes mastery of the guitar is something ive never EVER seen before. He handles it like a god. just the variety of sounds he get out of it and the way he makes it SCREAAAM and holds notes for forever and the way he uses he whammy bar. To write songs like those i heard... i've no idea how they do it. I actually havnt heard much Steve Vai, and the music itslef i cant totally dig, but the show was amazing. *sigh* G'nite.

DVG.

[magicbus]

(did you know Rock n Roll was an american term for sex?)



ummagumma was a british term for sex too!

[RNR]

Omg!!!!!! teh secks!!!

It's still a term for sex. "hey babe, wanna rock n roll? :naughty:". But it's also a kind of music.

[RNR]

Is Vai's drummer Mike Mangini? Because I play drums, but I just find his ability so totally ridiculous. I mean, I could practice for years full-time, but just never approach that level :upset:

Yes he is. And he has been playing for years and years. you can't get that good in a day. It takes times and effort.

[RNR]

Yeah I know, obviously he's been playing for years, but with most other drummers, I can see how they do it. With him, I just cant. It's wierd actually, because whenever I hear people talking about "best drummers", I don't think I have ever seen his name mentioned anywhere, although I'd expect him to be near the top.

Some people are just better than others. He's obviously a very special musician. Let me just say this, you will never be as good as him or bonam or neil peart. but you can be as good as you possibly can and there's nothing wrong with that. Or you could practise 20 hours a day for 5 more years and see what happens :)

[RockAndRoll]

my favourite drummer is steve gadd. He is just mindblowing.

P.S everythinng's a term for sex now, it has nothing to do with the word(s) anymore it's all about the tone of voice and facial expressions.

you will never be as good as him or bonam or neil peart.
Oh ya? We'll see...

See. Without me for 20 hours this thread dies.

Vai has had a few different drummers in his time.

I like Yes.

All caught up.

[Badmoon]

So Voodoo, how's that review going. I'm looking forward to it. :)

[VoodooChild]

I like Yes. I have two of their albums which are probably the two best ones. Close to the Edge and Fragile. Fragile is a definite 5/5. "South Side of the Sky" and "Heart of the Sunrise" are really amazing songs. Great album. Very mystical. Close to the Edge is wierd album. Again, very deep and mystical. All three songs are mind-blowing and "And You and I" is my favorite. Anyway, it a great prog band.

[VoodooChild]

So Voodoo, how's that review going. I'm looking forward to it. :)

Yea, sorry it's taking a while. I've been busy with work BUT it's coming.

possibly led zeppelin? what do you mean by possibly?

o and out of curiosity, i was confused by ur last comment. what did u mean by that as well.

I do however love the doors. Do you think you could recommend some dire straits songs, the only ones i know are "walk of life" "money for nothing" and "sultans of swing" all of which i love very much.

and i think voodoo should hurry up with that review.

[Badmoon]

No, let Voodoo take his time.

John Mayall and Eric Clapton - Bluesbreakers, is one of my favorite albums and an amazing Blues album. He didn't stay with them long, by he still managed to give off a fabulous album with them.

ok the badmoon what are they?

Also Superpeer I was confused about the last part, but I guess I'll just check out the rules.

And You & I is probably my favorite too because I love the acoustic intro. Really cool stuff. And rock not roll already has a higher post count than me :upset:

EDIT: I guess that wasn't necessary. Sorry man.

Nubzy nubzor. Go away.

[IronMaidenSG]

[RNR]

^suks 2 b u m8

[magicbus]

[Badmoon]

Without Country, music would be no where.

[Badmoon]

Nubzy nubzor. Go away.

I was gonna say the same, but I'm not a big country fan. Although I've lightened up to it a little, I still prefer southern rock.

[RNR]

2 tr00 man. shiat man. I'm not into too much bluegrass althought it is pretty good. more rock country, blue rodeo, steve earle, erm yeah

[Merker]

Kansas!

[RockAndRoll]

*is checking out the blues breakers as we speak* (listening to hideaway)
ya apparently ginger baker approached clapton at a bluesbreakers gig.

(I think the the guy meant what are Lynyrd Skynyrd - to which the answer is a classic rock band)

[dantheman6991]

i'd have to say jet is starting to bring back 70's rock... yah the beatles r just amazingly great...

[StreetlightRock]

Oh yea, and Jeremy Colson was the drummer on the night.

About Jet bringing back classic rock... they arnt really. If any thing the Darkness is, more so then Jet. If only they wernt taken for comical value so much and put out a BIT more serious stuff.

Country. *Snicker* *Thinks of Dolly Parton*

Nah, Bob Dylan is t3h sh1t.

DVG.

[superpeer]

possibly led zeppelin? what do you mean by possibly?

o and out of curiosity, i was confused by ur last comment. what did u mean by that as well.

I do however love the doors. Do you think you could recommend some dire straits songs, the only ones i know are "walk of life" "money for nothing" and "sultans of swing" all of which i love very much.

and i think voodoo should hurry up with that review.

I haven't listened to Led Zeppelin in ages, and I had mixed feelings about them; so yeah.



Some nice dire straits songs : Romeo and Juliet, Brothers in Arms, Lady Winter, Tunnel of love, the songs that you mentioned are good as well, and if you want some surf rock : Twiisting by the pool. :cool:


I like Jimi Hendrix as well, forgot to mention him, yeah I'm a pretty mainstream classic rock lover. :upset:

[superpeer]

Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Hey I like more classic Rock than I thought. :D

[SGdudeSG]

the beatles, Creedance clear water revival, the nuge, lynyrd skynyrd. classic rocks awesome

[magicbus]

Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Hey I like more classic Rock than I thought. :D

Great bands. Boston is amazing at harmonizing all the guitars and vocals and stuff. And Skynyrd just plain kicks ***. :thumb:

[RockAndRoll]

Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Hey I like more classic Rock than I thought. :D
You're comeing along ;).

Lynard skynard would have been huge. Like super huge like jimundo massively huge. But they=teh diezorz so yeah :(

We've been over this. If anything now is bringing back Classic Rock, it's Gov't Mule.

[magicbus]

Lynard skynard would have been huge. Like super huge like jimundo massively huge. But they=teh diezorz so yeah :(

Yea they never got the respect they deserved.

[classically_strung]

Wow, I'm surprised nobody mentions the people that influenced the beatles, and Clapton, and Zeppelin. What about Buddy Holly? He was frickin' awesome! And Chuck Berry too. You want some good classic rock, listen to their recordings

[HendrixSantana]

My favorites:

Pink floyd
Jimi Hendrix
Santana
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath

[Jude]

Does anybody else agree that Bob Dylan is the god of 20th century rock?

[Badmoon]

God is the God of 21st century rock.

[SkaRobotArmy]

ac\dc sucks. led zeppelin sucks. the beatles especially suck and were the backstreet boys of the 60s and 70s. the only good 'classic' rock is Neil young and rush..and maybe boston. dylan aint to bad either...

[B0nz0]

i agree that he is a god. i wouldn't say that he was the GOD. I think the God was the Holy Fabulous Four, aka THE BEATLES. No1 compared to the Beatles.

you my friend have no idea what you are talking about if you are comparing the backstreet boys to the beatles. First off, the beatles weren't put together by producers. They wrote their own material, and they expressed themselves creatively. They played in far more styles than just teenie bop like the backstreet boys. o yea and the beatles had talent. led zeppelin is also quite far from sucking but i'm too tired to argue with someone who's opinions are as misguided as yours...

[RNR]

Yeah I guess Bob dylan would be god. Him or Hendrix.

[rocked not rolled]

The beatles were amazing. While not having the most skill at their instruments as other bands they managed to be the most popular band in the history of popular music. Plus their songs make me happy :)

[SkaRobotArmy]

their songs make me hit things.

[SkaRobotArmy]

they were bad musicians who made boring music. hendrix isnt very good either, maybe a good guitarist but i dont like his music.

[magicbus]

Maybe because your name is SkaRobotArmy?

[rocked not rolled]

Yes because there is waaaay more talent in ska than Jimi hendrix had... :rolleyes:. And the beatles were simple but good. :thumb:

[SkaRobotArmy]

but people praise them for the amazing musicianship and all that but they werent very good. i said jimi hendrix was talented, not as talent as everyone says but thats not the point. and dont judge me because i like ska, i like plenty of other music too if you read more than just my last post.

[rocked not rolled]

right then.

[magicbus]

banned again?

[rocked not rolled]

You know it. Don't worry i'll be back to normal in 2 days.

Pink Floyd Is Awesome

Pink Floyd Is Awesome


indeed they are

[Seafroggys]

Hmm, comparing the Backstreet Boys to The Beatles.

Take a look at the cover to Millenium, then look at the cover to Abbey Road. Very similar indeed.

Oh boy.

The Beatles wrote the best songs of all time. Well, I think Lennon wrote the best songs of all time, but thats beside the point. I don't see how you say they suck. Yeah, they weren't the best musicians, but if you judge songs by plain talent alone, go listen to some Mozart or something else. Jesus.

[SkaRobotArmy]

im not. i like plenty of $hit musicians but people say they were the BEST musicians ever, and completely believe it, its ridiculous they are way over rated. they did not write the best songs of all time. there is one or two songs i can listen to and not want to hurt small creatures. they're music is dull, gutless and boring.

[magicbus]

Maybe its teh drugzors.

[Badmoon]

As musicians they were underrated. Of course they had their overrated moments. But here, on most of Paul McCartney's solo albums, he played each instrument, and did it well. George Harrsion played 46 instruments well, and pretty much introduced the sitar to Rock. John Lennon was quite a good piano player. And Ringo set the path for millions of up and coming drummers. He kept a good rythm and played with a now very common style, which was rarely, if never seen then.

[Ph34r_m3]

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