Badmoon Rising

[Walrus Gumboot]

Hey Badmoon, thanks for the info on Old And In The Way, I haven't been around for a few days, so I just read it

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
The Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Phish - Esther
Blind Melon - Skinned
Grateful Dead - Me & My Uncle
Grateful Dead - Good Morning Little School Girl
The Beatles - Run For Your Life

[Woodstock]

CSNY-Ohio
Neil Young-Southern Man(maybe?)

[RockAndRoll]

Borders, and no, I will not upload it for you. There's like 4 discs.

It isn't as good as you'd think. There is a cool Cpt. Beefheart song though ;).
Captain Beefhart is the man. One of a total of 2 people that fits into the Frank Zappa genre (Frank Zappa did produce him afterall)

[thickasabrick]

Hows everybody doing? I hung out with a very large amount of emo kids last night. I got dragged along to a show, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The first band was just like Billy Talent basically, the third band was kinda just catchy uplifting tunes (not in the true emo fashion)

But the second band was amazing. No one had ever heard of them, and they played the most experimental music I've ever heard live. They had a really good bass/keyboard player, and their guitarist was usually playing more like sounds, than licks. Great band. They kinda reminded me of earlier Floyd, like Interstellar Overdrive. I don't think anyone liked it but me and one other classic rock lover. All the emo kids were like "what the hell is this?" and I was just going crazy.

Anyone ever seen a really really good unheard of band before? This is a first for me.

[jpj]

So you don't know the name of the band?

[thickasabrick]

They were called Numbers Hate Letters. I think they were mostly just a local band, although they were opening for a fairly well known band (it was their last show).

Man I was just looking for this thread, and I saw the other Classic Rock thread with a big lock on it, and I thought it was this one. I almost crapped myself, I thought a mod closed this thread.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Are you in a big (ish) city, thickasabrick? My location (the woods) makes it difficult to see new bands :/


Haha if they colsed this thread we would have to gather the pitchforks, light the torches, and angry-village-ify the suspected mod(s)

[Simple Man]

CSNY is great.

[thickasabrick]

Well I live in Regina Sk. So about 200 thousand people. The band they were opening for was called Despistado if you've heard of them, they tour a lot, although usually not very big venues. They are from Regina, and they have a message board on the web, and I noticed they have come to Texas enough to have a following there...so they must get around North America quite a bit.

edit- and I agree with you Simple Man. Favourite song?

[Badmoon]

I'm posting another Dr. John song. I don't think any of you listened to the first one I posted.


Dr. John - Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya

[jpj]

I'm too busy listening to moe. to listen to Dr. John.

[Badmoon]

Shut up Faggot

[jpj]

Shut up Faggot
You shut up, I'm in the middle of a really cool jam. I'll listen to that silly Dr. John in 15 minutes.

[thickasabrick]

I'm trying to listen to that Dr. John song, but someones messing up with my computer. Everytime I turn the volume up, I watch as it slowly climbs back down to mute. I think god doesn't want me to hear this song Badmoon.

[Badmoon]

"Silly Dr. John", you fool!

As of now, I have more rep points than you will ever believe. I will neg rep you down to the pits of hell!

That's because it's evil. God wants you to listen to moe.

[Broken Arrow]

Wow lots of posts in the last few days.

Anyways I was watching the movie "Troy" and I lost alot of respect for the song Achilles Last Stand.

1.The Greeks were fags
2.Achilles was a fag
3.He kill that Hector guy
4.Trojans got conquered and they were cool

One more spam post and i'm going to do something! And it will not be good, will not be good for you guys. Not me, it will be good for me :angry:

John Fogerty rocked on the superbowl pre game show :). He sang Fortunate Son weird though :\

[Broken Arrow]

Do know what? I'm glad I wasn't born in the 80's.

Edit-And I stopped the spam

[jpj]

That doesn't change the fact that they're good.

I was born in 90, that's barely not the 80's.

[Illmatic]

The hell? Now I actually feel kinda old.

John Fogerty rocked on the superbowl pre game show . He sang Fortunate Son weird though :\

He performed at the Super Bowl pregame show? I guess I shoulda checked it out. I'm going to hit up a few SB parties tonight, starting in about an hour and a half.

[Woodstock]

What? I missed John Fogerty? That sucks. Paul McCartney will perform the halftime show. If he plays "Freedom", I will kill myself emo style.

Wow, what a spam post.

I hate that Freedom song, very annoying. Why, Paul, why?

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

[jpj]

What the **** did you just say?

[Seafroggys]

You know he will play Freedom. C'mon, he's lpaying to a 'football' audience. They tend to love America and are 'patriots' and that sort of ****. You know that's what he'll play.

Here's hoping for some Helta Skelta :thumb:

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

^^^^^yeh did you see it too?

That'd be awesome. Too bad it wont happen ever.

[Broken Arrow]

I like football but I hate America.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

what why do u hate america?

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

What the **** did you just say?

i was talking about john fogerty he was OK and his voice was kind a very off key and raspy but it was an ok performance

[RNR]

He played Badmoon rising too :D

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yeh that was it thanx, yeh so what did you think of john's performance, rock not roll

[RNR]

I already said that it was great :). Just he sang Fortunate Son weird and so it was less kickass but still kickass.

[Badmoon]

Read my Dr. John review.

I don't think the beginning of the review is good, but I'm sure it's quite helpful.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

I'll be sure to do that

man i cant wait till the super bowl starts who you guys think will win? I want the eagles to win. they re just so unexpected and underrated they just might win.

[jpj]

Read my Dr. John review.

I don't think the beginning of the review is good, but I'm sure it's quite helpful.
Why'd you call me a poser?

[Badmoon]

Did it offend you?

[RNR]

Because you like jam bands that people have heard/care about.

[jpj]

Did it offend you?
Were you joking?

[Badmoon]

There was no point to it.

[jpj]

There was no point to it.
Which is why it confused me.

[PinkFreud]

yeh that was it thanx, yeh so what did you think of john's performance, rock not roll

oh no! he's invaded!

[Broken Arrow]

Paul was soo sweet, Drive My Car, Get Back and Hey Jude.

Also Live and Let Die.

So good.

[magicbus]

Kinda soft for a half time show, but I enjoyed it.

[jpj]

That was awesome, is he gonna tour again?

[RNR]

Probably not. He's pretty old. He still rocked though :)

[keep on phishin']

I read in an interview not too long ago that he was going to tour the U.S. starting next November. I don't know about any place else though.

[RockAndRoll]

Live and let Die always dissapoints me, that one quicker bit is just annoying and ruins the goodness of the other parts.

[Woodstock]

McCartney did a great job, I can't wait till he tours again.

[Johnny B. Good]

Live and let Die always dissapoints me, that one quicker bit is just annoying and ruins the goodness of the other parts.
I don't think the quicker part is that bad.

[RockAndRoll]

I don't think the quicker part is that bad.
It isn't really a great or even good part. I find it to be poor.

[Badmoon]

Review Posted: Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions - s/t

[Johnny B. Good]

It could be better, but it still isn't bad

[Badmoon]

It would have been cooler if Paul would have played "Band on the Run" all the way through instead of the other songs he played.

[Woodstock]

What? No way. I liked the unusual choices.

[Against Miik!]

I was hoping for a Paul McCartney wardrobe malfunction

[Johnny B. Good]

Well if you noticed he had a star on the shirt he was wearing kinda like how Janet had a star on her boob

[RNR]

Nah. He's too old. It would be all gross and wrinkley.

[BillCosby]

Paul should have kept the Na Na Nas going longer.



Like that time when I saw him live.

[Seafroggys]

Nah. He's too old. It would be all gross and wrinkley.

Yeah, but look how well he's aged. His face didn't start getting wrinkly until about 4 years ago, and even now he still looks great.

[Against Miik!]

Yeah, but look how well he's aged. His face didn't start getting wrinkly until about 4 years ago, and even now he still looks great.

So, are you saying you would, like, do Paul McCartney?

[Badmoon]

That'd hurt Linda, and I know I personally could never hurt Linda. :(

RIP

[Illmatic]

Paul was sharp tonight...he was a lot better than I thought he would be.

(also, WOOOOO!!!! DYNASTY, BABY!!!!)

[clown_phobia]

If you could choose anyone to play during Next year's superbowl half time, who would it be and why, and which 4 songs do you want them to play?

[clown_phobia]

Cream played 4 reunion shows in London this week. Tickets were selling for 2400 Australian dollars and they sold out in 2 minutes.

[Brewster]

**** I'd like to see Cream in concert, that would be sweet. The song Tales of Brave Ulysees is the best!

[Woodstock]

Cream played 4 reunion shows in London this week. Tickets were selling for 2400 Australian dollars and they sold out in 2 minutes.
Wow. That's amazing. Eric Clapton never has to worry about seat-fillers.

[lunch998]

I should buy tickets then put them on Ebay when they sell out.

[Broken Arrow]

Hey, If you bought alot of tickets saved one for yourself and sold the rest you would make enough profit to fly yourself over there and stay there.

Guess who was on WQLN "austin city limits" last night.

[lunch998]

Me?

Guess who was on WQLN "austin city limits" last night.
It seems like there was gonna be someone good on that I wanted to see, but I can't remember who.

[Humor99]

Paul isn't too old to tour. Bob Dylan still does 100 dates a year apparently.

EDIT: to the recent question - was it Skynyrd?

[RockAndRoll]

I think the person this was directed to most was badmoon, if that helps you at all, though I doubt it will.

[lunch998]

Can't you just tell us?

[Badmoon]

Bob Weir and/or Phil Lesh.

Or The Dead of course.

Dave Grisman? Is he even still alive?

[Badmoon]

David Grisman is still alive.

[RockAndRoll]

It's not the dead, I'll give you a hint "More love"

[Badmoon]

Randolph

[jpj]

Oh yea, that's who it was. I saw that he was gonna be on, but I forgot :(

[magicbus]

Is he going to be on something?

[jpj]

Is he going to be on something?
He was on Austin City Limits.

[magicbus]

Oh. So I missed it?

[jpj]

Oh. So I missed it?
I'm afraid so, unless they show re-runs, but I don't think they do.

[RockAndRoll]

Randolph
Yay. It was great, but I found it funny because I remember arguing with you about him and clapton and you saying something like you prefer randolph because he makes the blues his own, or does something new, something along those lines. But what I heard was actually really old sounding(he did bring out his old "mentors" and such), I just thought it was kind of funny.

But all around it was great, it sounded old (not that there's anything wrong with that) and it was a much cleaner more precise and controlled sound then when I heard him live, anyways it was great.

[Badmoon]

The Randolph I know will always be energetic, original and all over the pedal steel. :angry:

[jpj]

Do you know if they show re-runs? Or is there anywhere where I can see it? Did you listen to it on the radio or watch it on PBS?

[otrdrummer]

yea im only 15 but i love classic rock. I just cant get into the new bands,

[Illmatic]

I saw Randolph when he opened for Clapton last summer, and he was easily much better than Clapton.

[magicbus]

I've never heard of the show you guys are talking about.

[Badmoon]

I saw Randolph when he opened for Clapton last summer, and he was easily much better than Clapton.

Ha

Randolph - 2

Clapton - 1

[RockAndRoll]

The Randolph I know will always be energetic, original and all over the pedal steel. :angry:
oh he was energetic for sure. Never anything less. It's just it sounded like quite old music.I just thought it was funny. He was really energetic though that has never changed.

[magicbus]

I like Clapton better :p

Although I greatly respect Randolph, and realize he is a great player.

[Broken Arrow]

Well if I heard some more Randolph my opinion could change but right now it's Clapton.

[jpj]

Are we talking Clapton solo or all Clapton?

[RockAndRoll]

Randolph is not better than clapton, to argue such is foolishness. Complete, utter foolishness.

[RockAndRoll]

Are we talking Clapton solo or all Clapton?
All clapton.

Oh and Clapton takes the lead. :p

[Broken Arrow]

Are we talking Clapton solo or all Clapton?
Alll Clapton, I believe.

[jpj]

Then I go Clapton because there's no way you could say Randolph is better than Cream.

[Broken Arrow]

Then I go Clapton because there's no way you could say Randolph is better than Cream.
Yep Cream is pretty hard to beat.

[RockAndRoll]

heh, exactly! you guys should listen to randolph though he's good.

[magicbus]

All Clapton for relz.

[jpj]

heh, exactly! you guys should listen to randolph though he's good.
I listen to him on occasion, I don't own anything though. There's just never enough money when I go shopping :(

[Broken Arrow]

I only heard bootlegs and a song Badmoon sent me.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Please don't beat me with a stick for this one but who is Randolph?

[jpj]

Please don't beat me with a stick for this one but who is Randolph?
Robert Randolph, he's a black pedal steel (is that the right term?) guitarist and is damn good.

[Jam2Me]

I'm just wondering but does it seem that people like the blues at the pinnacle of their music-liking careers? My uncle has seen more shows than anyone I know, countless famous classic rock bands, everything from funk to tex-mex rock, and his music of choice is the blues. Most of our favorite bands were influenced by various blues artists (or stole their work *cheap shot at LZ*) so what do you guys think?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Oh, thanks for that

I like the blues probably the most out of the different genres.

[magicbus]

Oh, thanks for that

See you got the link :thumb:

And I love blues.

[Broken Arrow]

I really like the blues.

[thickasabrick]

Huge fan of the blues. I find it so easy to write/play on guitar, it just seems to come naturally from inside of you...no matter what kind of song I always try to write, people always tell me it's too bluesy. It's great to listen to as well.

[unclebobscircus]

I like blues rock a bit more than I like straight blues, honestly.

[longvonsilver]

Claptons prime was with the bluesbreakers, just to let u all know

[Jam2Me]

Claptons prime was with the bluesbreakers, just to let u all know
Back that statement up and I'll believe it. Actually I problably won't I'll always favor his Derek and the Dominos work because of Duane and Bobby, and "Layla." "Keep on Growing" is my favorite song on the album though.
The Layla Sessions Jams are awesome too.

[longvonsilver]

Cant really back it up, just me and a lot of the lads think it was his best period, showed the true eric clapton, his cream years were also amazing, but what do i know, im just a guy who plays guitar

[Seafroggys]

I prefer the blues-influenced rock moreso than 'blues rock' (think Cream and such). But I love playing blues stuff.

I think Clapton's prime was Cream's last three albums. That's just me, though.

[Broken Arrow]

I think Clapton's prime was Cream's last three albums. That's just me, though.
So Diserali Gears, Wheels of Fire and Goodbye or what? I dont understand?

[Woodstock]

So would any of you recommend Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton?

[lunch998]

I think Clapton's prime was Cream's last three albums. That's just me, though.

As opposed to their first three?

[Woodstock]

I just bought: Well Respected Kinks for $7.99(which is a damn good price at the mall)

[unclebobscircus]

As opposed to their first three?
I don't like Fresh Cream that much, I just think most of it sounds too poppy and too typical of the British invasion era. Their other albums are complete genius, though.

[lunch998]

I don't like Fresh Cream that much, I just think most of it sounds too poppy and too typical of the British invasion era. Their other albums are complete genius, though.

I love fresh Cream. Raw blues rock pretty much to me. Maybe somewhat typical of the British invasion, but not very many people were doing what Cream was doing in 1966.

[Broken Arrow]

I don't like Fresh Cream that much, I just think most of it sounds too poppy and too typical of the British invasion era. Their other albums are complete genius, though.
So are we counting Goodbye as an album?

[lunch998]

Goodbye was severly lacking.

[Woodstock]

There's nothing wrong with British Invasion music. Therefore, nothing wrong with Fresh Cream.

[RNR]

Clapton didn't really get awesome at guitar until the mid 70s. His stuff was Cream and The Yardbirds was good but not great. His solo carreer definitly had the best guitar playing. Even Layla and some Cream songs that he played live when he went solo improved and he made them better.

Maybe so, but his playing was still innovative in the 60's.

For the 60s he was godly :)

Maybe techincally speaking he reached his peak after the 60's, but I don't think his music was ever any better than it was from 65-71.

[RNR]

I only meant his guitar playing. Without Jack Bruce his music declined (it still stayed good!)

Ok, then you are probably correct. Without Jack Bruce any guitarist's music would decline.

I was on JPJ's website and it says that he will be at this year's Grammy Awards because Zeppelin is recieving a lifetime achievement award. It'd be cool if he performed, but there's no chance :(

[thickasabrick]

He could perform maybe, but I seriously doubt Zeppelin (or whats left) would play. I wanna see that though, they deserve it.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I'm not sure if you guys talked about this, but who saw the super bowl halftime show?

Edit: Found it, nevermind.

[jpj]

I saw it and thought it was awesome.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Some girl in my health class was like "That was one of the worst superbowl halftime shows ever". That angered me.

[jpj]

Yea, a bunch of people in my home room were saying **** like that, it pissed the hell out of me.

[thickasabrick]

I never saw it, I wish I did though. What songs did McCartney all play?

[jpj]

Get Back, Ride My Car, Live and Let Die, and Hey Jude. In that order.

EDIT: Or did he play Get Back second?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Get back was second i think

[thickasabrick]

I'm pleased with those songs. I was praying he wouldn't do something completely horrible.

[lunch998]

How could Paul be bad when compared to the likes of other Super Bowl half time acts? Namely Britney Spears+NYSNC+Aerosmith.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

They shot off a lot of fireworks also.

I like teh fire.

[Badmoon]

Randolph is not better than clapton, to argue such is foolishness. Complete, utter foolishness.

Nothing could could be more foolish than stating your opinion as fact.

A few of us like R.R. much more, get use to it.

[PinkFreud]

Robert Randolph, he's a black pedal steel (is that the right term?) guitarist and is damn good.

a little late but i believe the term is "african-american"... unless you were talking about the pedal steel part...

i saw him when he opened for clapton too and its a tough call between them.

well im asian. fellow minorites. united against whitey. who else is in?

oh and my bum/hobo comment was about your usage of "wino"

[Illmatic]

It's us [meaning blacks, not blacks and Asians] and the Hispanics. Those are the only minorities that whites as a whole tend to fear and/or loathe.

[PinkFreud]

It's us [meaning blacks, not blacks and Asians] and the Hispanics. Those are the only minorities that whites as a whole tend to fear and/or loathe.

yeah well there are stereotypes for everyone. asian=small penises, smart (which isnt always good), small stature. what say we drop the race issue.

Yeah, whites don't have much to fear about Asians :lol:

[EightMilesHigh]

If anyone said that in our school,I'd shove a pencil up their ***.Hell,all of us would.Paul was awesome.


Hell yeah, he was great. Someone said in the pit that it would have been cool if Ringo was on drums and Dhani (George's son) was on guitar.

[A-Baum]

Well I agree that paul was great. But I do think the show still sucked. I wanted to hear revolution #9 and I wanted to hear the whole **** thing! Anyways lets stop getting racial and talk about good classic rock bands. I personaly like Canned heat alot please comment

[Six Foot Revolver]

I'm British so didn't see it but I have heard it was good

[Schyma]

Well I just missed an entire day of MX.....


Paul was ****in awsome....a guy in my spainish class said he sucked I wanted to punch the **** out of him but I had 4 sweets on me so I didn't want to be arrested.... :upset:

The only real-life person i've talked to about it said it was good so I'm happy :thumb:

What does everyone think of Morrison Hotel by The Doors?

Do you know why? Have you heard what's out there these days. There's not alot of music out there that's going to stand the test of time. Hip/hop - rap ? I think they left the "C" out of it - "CRAP". I'm all for to each his own, so if you like that stuff more power to ya. The "MODERN ROCK" bands of today seem to write the worst, unmelodic, boring drop D tunning crap. With no blues influence. When you take the "BLUES" out of rock your left non-feeling stuff that couldn't move a mouse fart. "Feel", "Heart", "Soul". FEEL - it needs to make you feel something, i. e. happy, sad, etc. (and not anger for the sake of being angry, anger over an issue), HEART - it needs to come from your heart (don't write for the about something for the sake of writng about, be genuine about whatever it is) and SOUL - if the song has soul it has life. I am sure there are people that will disagree with me, all I can say is; look at their music collection. Ther is good music out there today you just have to find it. You can check out some of my stuff at:

Come on all you critics, I'll take you on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May music be the light of you soul.

[StreetlightRock]

*sigh*, your comments are about as generic as the bands you talk about. You're right tho, i suppose, like eveyone else here. Secondly, no advertising.

DVG.

edit: sorry, i think im being a little harsh, good try :thumb:

[DMUSIC]

Well I just missed an entire day of MX.....


Paul was ****in awsome....a guy in my spainish class said he sucked I wanted to punch the **** out of him but I had 4 sweets on me so I didn't want to be arrested.... :upset:
Hey man, are you always this angry. Don't let some ****-stick who knows nothing about music or who has a different opinion bother you. The Beatles are, in my opiion the world greatest and most innovative rock bands of all time. They have influenced a multitude of todays musicians, probably most of the people that asswipe with the uninformed opinion listens to. But, if you still feel you need to punch him, make sure you knock the ever-livin **** out of him.

[DMUSIC]

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?


This is the thread for general classic rock discussion.

I replied to this but somehow lost the first part.

SEE - Do you know why?

[Rashka]

this fred is big.

i like some classic rock, my dad's got some pretty good vinyls.

[danmat666]

yeah i am only 16 but I love classic rock, but come on you lot are all forgeting about the greatest classic rock band ever... GUNS N' ROSES!!!

[Six Foot Revolver]

Nope, not while they have Axl Rose as a singer

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah I just stopped reading that paragraph.

[jpj]

a little late but i believe the term is "african-american"... unless you were talking about the pedal steel part...

i saw him when he opened for clapton too and its a tough call between them.
Oh, don't be so PC

Robert Randolph is black.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Oh, **** yourself.

Robert Randolph is VERY BLACK.
:lol:

[jpj]

I edit'd so I wouldn't come off as West Virginia rednecky, it didn't work :(

We've become very lazy people.

So anyway Village Green Preservation Society is an awesome album.

Are the Kinks the new fad or what?

[jpj]

Are the Kinks the new fad or what?
Actually, I think they are. You better hop on the bandwagon.

[Broken Arrow]

I'll get in to them later when it's not cool to like the Kinks.

[jpj]

I'll get in to them later when it's not cool to like the Kinks.
That's actually not a bad idea.

[Badmoon]

well im asian. fellow minorites. united against whitey. who else is in?

oh and my bum/hobo comment was about your usage of "wino"

Do you get called Asian American often. I know I don't get called Irish American often. Do these Black fellows deserve any better?

Yeah, whites don't have much to fear about Asians :lol:

To be honest, white people have no one to fear but other white people.

[jpj]

Do you get called Asian American often. I know I don't get called Irish American often. Do these Black fellows deserve any better?
Exactly. I think I'd like to to be German-Hungarian-Italian-American from now on. Being called "white" is so racist and degrading.

[glass_tiger]

I realize that this has nothing to do with what's going on in this thread right now, but I'm gonna say it anyway. I have no idea what sparked it, but I am entirely in love with classic rock. I'm still in high school, but I don't listen to anything after the 1980s. I just can't get into it. Anyway, I love bands like The Beatles, Boston, Supertramp, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...anything like that. I just recently got into Kansas as well. I need their greatest hits...

[lunch998]

As soon as Woodstock and his chronies get obsessed with another band, I'll tell you. Then I can send you some of their stuff.

My chronies? Pfft, I like a band and I interest someone else, what's wrong with that?

Yes JPJ, VGPS owns :)

JPJ is one of your chronies.

I'm not a chronie.

[Broken Arrow]

Im not a cronie either.

[lunch998]

I was not referring to you.

[Broken Arrow]

Ok, I see that you were refering to JPJ (the main cronie).

[jpj]

I'm so not a chronie.

Yea he definitely is.

What is your favorite song off VGPS?

Picture Book, Last of the Steam-Powered Trains, and All of my Friends Were There.

[Woodstock]

Picture Book, Last of the Steam-Powered Trains, and All of my Friends Were There.
Last of the Steam Powered Train is a good song, just kinda seems out of place as a blues song in an album full of Brit-pop.

Mine would be Wicked Annabella, Do You Remember Walter?, and Johnny Thunder.

[jpj]

Yea, Wicked Annabella is a great song.

Don't you think the riff in Last Stem-Powered Train sounds like the riff in Smokestack Lightning?

[Broken Arrow]

Thats weird because all JPJ's favourites were not any of Woostocks favourites.

[Woodstock]

Ah, we both like Wicked Annabella. Now stop whoring into our conversation if you have nothing nice to say :angry:

[lunch998]

JPJ is pretending to have independent thoughts.

Hehe he is trying to build Confiedence.

JPJ is emotionally weak.

That was uncalled for.

JPJ is emotionally weak.
I am.

[Broken Arrow]

I am.
Which is why I posted it.

Anyways.............*thinks*................*can't think of anything*.........

[RNR]

Whenever I read one of JPJ's posts I always think it in a sort of high pitched 8 year old's voice. I don't think that's what he was trying to seem like...


Soo umm, classic rock is coo.

Who's the bassist from Yes? I just realised that he kicks ***.

I never thought of it like that, but I'm going to now. :lol:

[Broken Arrow]

Do you know who is hardly mentioned in this thread?


Peter Frampton.

All I have is Frampton comes Alive but it is really good. He is also a great guitarist.

[Woodstock]

I've heard Frampton Comes Alive is either amazing, or just plain corny.

[Broken Arrow]

I've heard Frampton Comes Alive is either amazing, or just plain corny.
No it's good.

[RNR]

It's amazing of course. He's a very underrated guitarist.

[Badmoon]

Chris Squire, you didn't know his name?

This post owns.

Why? Because you [JPJ] completely disreguarded what Rock just said about you, but answered his question right next to it.

:p

[Woodstock]

What's the one song they always play on the radio from that album?

Oh yeah, I like that song. Pretty catchy.

[RNR]

Ahh, right. I used to know his name, I swear. I can't be bothered to google or run to get a cd or anything...

Nice side-step, JPJ :p

[Badmoon]

Anyone herad of The 13th Floor Elevators?

Yes, their album The Psychedelic Sounds Of reminds me of Anthem of the Sun. Though I have heard very little of it.

[Broken Arrow]

Oh yeah, I like that song. Pretty catchy.
Very Catchy.

I like the beat on the hi-hat during the long instrumental part.

[Schyma]

A Texas psychedellic band.

[jpj]

Then I may have to check them out.
