Classic Rock

[Broken Arrow]

Then I may have to check them out.
And he ignores it again.lol

I think I will check them out sometime but not now.

[Schyma]

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

The Psychedelic Sounds Of > Anthem of the Sun :p

[Badmoon]

No, Anthem of the Sun was a step forward for music. Plus the music is very good.

[Schyma]

I think Anthem of the Sun was the 1st album that I downloaded all the way and didn't convert it on a CD.

[Badmoon]

Are you trying to say that Anthem of the Sun is worth crap to you?

Well, then you're pretty much alone here.

[jpj]

Anthem of the Sun r0xx0rz mi s0xx0rz!!!@!@!!!!@!!11!!12!

It's just so damn good.

[lunch998]

Are you trying to say that Anthem of the Sun is worth crap to you?

Well, then you're pretty much alone here.

That doesn't mean his opinion isn't valid. I like it, he doesn't. It's understandable.

[jpj]

Alone? Has anyone herad Anthem of the Sun other than me and Moon?
Yea, like a lot of people. Including myself.

EDIT: Deleting posts are we now?

[Badmoon]

That doesn't mean his opinion isn't valid. I like it, he doesn't. It's understandable.

Am I saying it's not? No, I am not. But then again, his opinion is worth crap to me anyway. Being that whenever the subject of Badmoon, the Grateful Dead, or Psychedelia come up, he somehow feels that it is needed for him to basically the state that Anthem of the Sun is a bad album.

[Schyma]

Fine Anthem of the Sun is the ****in worst album Ive ever herad....happy? :rolleyes:


Is their S\T kinda like Anthem of the Sun?

[lunch998]

If his opinion is worth crap to you, don't worry that he doesn't like Anthem of the Sun.

[Badmoon]

Well, wouldn't you get annoyed by constant nagging?

I also do like to kind of educated. Or vent my opinion once in awhile.

Is their S\T kinda like Anthem of the Sun?

Sure :D

:rolleyes:

[Johnny B. Good]

So much hate in this thread always

[lunch998]

I agree, it sucks :p

[jpj]

So much hate in this thread always
Odd, considering that most of us are filthy hippies.

[lunch998]

Odd, considering that most of us are filthy hippies.

Woo! Filthy Hippies.

So, I want to get a job at a Cd store.

[Johnny B. Good]

Odd, considering that most of us are filthy hippies.
It could almost make a man go emo

[Broken Arrow]

It's good hate though.

[Woodstock]

Woo! Filthy Hippies.

So, I want to get a job at a Cd store.
Yea, I'd love to work at a used music store or something similar.

[jpj]

Woo! Filthy Hippies.

So, I want to get a job at a Cd store.
That would definitely be the greatest job ever. My cousin works at a used CD store and he gets CD's for like $3

[lunch998]

They probably wouldn't hire me, since I dress normal and I'm not a goth. I'm also not into punk or metal.

[Broken Arrow]

That would definitely be the greatest job ever. My cousin works at a used CD store and he gets CD's for like $3
Odd. My cousin works at a CD store too. He has a vast record collection. Anyways my town doesnt have a record store but we might get a classic rock radio station.:cool:.

[Johnny B. Good]

They probably wouldn't hire me, since I dress normal and I'm not a goth. I'm also not into punk or metal.
Dress up like it for one day so they hire you

[Woodstock]

They probably wouldn't hire me, since I dress normal and I'm not a goth. I'm also not into punk or metal.
Just say, "I have an extensive knowledge on Classc Rock." :cool:

[jpj]

The city just north of me has a classic rock station and Pittsburgh does, so that's good enough for me. And I don't think a town of 4,000 really needs its own radio station.

[Woodstock]

I have two classic rock radio stations :cool:

They both suck though. All I hear is Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell" and ZZ Top's "Tush".

[lunch998]

Just say, "I have an extensive knowledge on Classc Rock." :cool:

They probably don't have a large enough classic rock costumer base to need an employee devoted to it. If I was emo though....

[Broken Arrow]

The city just north of me has a classic rock station and Pittsburgh does, so that's good enough for me. And I don't think a town of 4,000 really needs its own radio station.
Well our town only has 7000 people but we might because the closest one is like 2 hours away in Rock and Roll's hometown.

[lunch998]

Anyone want some live Dead/Traffic/Spirit/Jazz is Dead/Who?

[Broken Arrow]

Anyone want some live Dead/Traffic/Spirit/Jazz is Dead/Who?
I would except I am on the wrong computer.

[jpj]

Anyone want some live Dead/Traffic/Spirit/Jazz is Dead/Who?
Yes.

Does anyone want some....um...stuff?

[lunch998]

Yes.

Does anyone want some....um...stuff?

What exactly do you want?

[Badmoon]

Yes.

Does anyone want some....um...stuff?

No.

[jpj]

No.
That hurt my feelings :(

I'm interested in Traffic.

[Jam2Me]

I have a decent station, PLR...a little too much Zeppelin sometimes, but other then that they have a good variety, dabbling in jam bands occasionally too which is cool.

[lunch998]

That hurt my feelings :(

I'm interested in Traffic.

Their s/t is good, I'll send that to you.

[lunch998]

No more takers?

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Whew. I finally caught up.

I saw the Super Bowl halftime. I loved it! :thumb: This is the only half-time in football that I've ever watched. I was happy with the selection of songs too. My friend said it sucked, I told her she sucks. :angry:

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I'm a taker!

[Jam2Me]

Anyone here got American Beauty that can tell me what the last track is!!!???

[Johnny B. Good]

Whew. I finally caught up.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

This is the same girl who says all my music sucks, then tells me she loves the Rolling Stones. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm almost done with that webpage on Cream for my computers class. :D I think it's alright for an 8-day project (we are on day 6 right now). If anyone would like to take a look, tell me. *I'm not promoting, just informing, this page won't be up for long.*

[Woodstock]

I'd like to take a look, maybe give you some feedback.

[Badmoon]

Anyone here got American Beauty that can tell me what the last track is!!!???

"Truckin'"

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

It's at www.westvilleschool.com/Word/mwhiteaker

It should work, except for the background on the discography page; it's rainbow but I saved it wrong so it won't show up til I fix it tomorrow. Sorry that the page is a little boring in the looks department.

[Jam2Me]

"Truckin'"
And what all the weird dialogue, I know it's an advertisement but it's really weird one, no idea what it means.
Track 19 I dunno if you have the deluxe edition thingy.

[Badmoon]

Ohhh, you got the remastered with all the extra tracks. The real end to American Beauty is the first featured "Truckin'". The last one is of course a joke :) They're on most of the singularly released Dead remastered albums.

[Jam2Me]

Yeah my CD case doesn't say anything about it, just ends at Truckin' but Track 19 is some weird noises and really trippy/weird dialogue I guess it was an old advertisement, it coudln't have worked to well though.

[wanton]

Is Old and in the Way's "Wild Horses" a cover of the Stones?

[Seafroggys]

I did the same exact thing for my web design class. It was a five page site on Cream (index, background, jack, eric, ginger). Pretty spiffy I might add.

[Badmoon]

Is Old and in the Way's "Wild Horses" a cover of the Stones?

Yes, "Wild Horses" is a common Bluegrass cover.

[Distant Echoes]

I love Wild Horses...great song

ONe of other favorties (Stones Related) is Angie. really great song, i wish i heard it more

Angie is probably the Stones best ballad

[thickasabrick]

...I would. But I'm noticing you are offline. Congrats on the 3000 btw.

And that's a killer site Badmoon, thanks for the heads up. I'm suprised I haven't learned (or tried to) any of those songs...better start now. (I'd give you some rep but I gotta spread it first)

So tonight I'm teaching one of my students, and as he's packing up his guitar he's like "I just burnt a cool cd, it's got I'm Just a Kid and Sweet Home Alabama and other great guitar songs on it."
Someone please point out the error in that comment, I'm having trouble pinpointing why it sounds so odd.

[Badmoon]

Learn "My Favorite Things" and/or "Dawg's Bull". I could give you both songs if you ever need them.

[BillCosby]

Posting in this thread usually gets me rep

Agreed. I love playing it on my acoustic.

[Illmatic]

I can't stand "Angie"

I'd love to work in a CD store. But all the ppl you see in CD stores where I live look like they've walked out of some sports store. It doesn't make sense...

[Illmatic]

I used to work in a record store.

Is it as good as you guys seem to think it is?

...yes.

[Seafroggys]

I'd rather work at an instrument store. That way you wouldn't have to deal with the rap and pop homeboys (cuts down at least some of the crap :lol: )

[Schyma]

Wow its Thickasabrick! :)

Where you been?

[ArcLite]

Anyone here a Peter Frampton fan? Just listened to Frampton Comes Alive which inspired me to bring him up in here. He's a hell of a guitarist and pretty decent somewriter. Any thoughts?

Do You Feel Like I Do > everything

Do You Feel Like I Do > everything

What an excellent statement. That song is damn near epic on the live album. One of the best listens ever.

[ATM]

You can't beat the talk box, either.

[ArcLite]

Yeah, I remember the first time I heard that and I didn't even think it was guitar. He uses effects a lot better than most guitarists.

Hey, that's not that bad of a webpage. Good job :thumb:

[IAJP]

:cool: I'm lovin' the sweaty Ray Davies avatar woodstock :cool:.

Eh, anyway, would Black Sabbath be classed as classic rock?
I think that when they went into the seventies they were one of the best classic rock bands around, records like: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage and Vol. 4, shows their classic rock style of blues and heavy music.

But in all honesty, my theory is this:
As Sabbath moved on in time, their music got more and more complex and less about the raw agility and strength that was in their first three albums, especially on some of their proggier stuff, like, Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die, which co-incidentally all my friends think are crap.
Coincidentally they are wrong.

Meh, I know I'm ranting, but I had a pretty rough day in school, people have no mindspan if it's not heavy metal anymore, you can't listen to jazz blues and acoustic stuff without sounding cool.:rolleyes:

[/RANT]

[Woodstock]

Yes, Black Sabbath are definetly classic rock.

Anf for the rant, it's their fault if they want to be closed minded towards music. More for you.

[IAJP]

It's true,
I just can't hack people dissing Jazz, Blues and acoustic stuff, it pisses me off so much.

It also pisses me off that people just see me as someone who likes metal, when I have probbably the broadest musical tastes in my entire year.
Meh, ah well :)

[Six Foot Revolver]

I hate people who say I only listen to classic rock when I have a burned Allan Holdsworth cd in my cd player.

Oh yeah, I'm in webpage design. Finished my project already.

Does anyone remember when 50% of what we talked about was the Allman Brothers? That is until Moon brain-washed all of us.

/listening to In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

[classic_axeman]

Jethro Tull, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, Husker Du are also all great ones :) but Rush is still my fav.
I couldn't agree more man. Allthose bands like led zeppelin and the doors, expectially rush arelife time classics. No band in will ever beat out rush. To neil, alex, and giddi. I SALUTE YOU :thumb:

Post your web page Malcom.

EDIT-Great Cream page Rockjunkie!

I didn't know Claptons dad was Canadian.

[Kreator2112]

ive always considered sabbath as the godfathers of doom metal. its suprising they are still touring in thier original line up.

[Badmoon]

Does anyone remember when 50% of what we talked about was the Allman Brothers? That is until Moon brain-washed all of us.

I offered you a debate on Dead vs. Allmans, but you passed it up. That was the last straw, and now 99% of you are one sided.

[Kreator2112]

i hardly listen to either but warren and garcia are talented

[thickasabrick]

I've noticed Laterus is beating out DSOTM. Any comments on this? I actually feel that DSOTM is one of the greatest albums ever written, and shouldn't even be compared to the other albums up there (including The Wall). That's just me though. What do you guys think?

[Jam2Me]

I offered you a debate on Dead vs. Allmans, but you passed it up. That was the last straw, and now 99% of you are one sided.

Hmm I came here later but I'd still love to talk about ABB all day..

[ledpoisoning27]

yea i listen to some Black Sabbath and Judas Priests, but thats about as my metal tastes go.

[Illmatic]

I'd rather work at an instrument store. That way you wouldn't have to deal with the rap and pop homeboys (cuts down at least some of the crap :lol: )

1) if you work at a chain, yeah you'll deal with kids like that, but I worked at an independently-owned shop that sold used rock/jazz/blues/rap CDs and records.

2) but in instrument stores you'd have to deal with kids in Green Day shirts trying to play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or some such nonsense

We have reason to believe that Lateralus has cheated in the polls.

my local independent music store is the worst, they charge laughable prices on everything, and the people who work their are even worst. One guy who works their the a rich prepy boy who dresses in die-tye and baggy cords for the fashion, and brags about his $180 shoes. wow i thought i would never see someone like that a materialistic 'hippie.' :lol: i hate people. :angry:

[Illmatic]

Well, the store I worked at wasn't like that at all.

[magicbus]

I voted for Lateralus, before all the cheating.

[Woodstock]

I voted for Lateralus, before all the cheating.
A disgrace to CR regulars. :p

[Badmoon]

Hmm I came here later but I'd still love to talk about ABB all day..

What debate did you offer?

Dead vs. Allmans

Hardly anyone new that much about either. So we settled on The Who vs. Led Zeppelin.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Thanks for the feedback on my Cream page! Glad y'all like it. :) I finished the photo page today, except for some realignment tomorrow.

I don't think I was posting regularly for that debate. :(

I voted DSOTM. The Wall would have been my second choice.

[Badmoon]

That debate was awhile.

The Who team (Which I was on) won ;)

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Maybe we should have another debate. Not today, but sometime soon. What do you think?

[Jam2Me]

Bleh I personally think trying tocompare bands is lame, everyone has their own opinion. No bands worthy of comparison should be compared to anything, if you can understand that.

[Badmoon]

We were comparing originality, influence, and skill.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

You spelled Geddy's name wrong.

Post your web page Malcom.

EDIT-Great Cream page Rockjunkie!

I didn't know Claptons dad was Canadian.


It's on the computer at school, I'll have to upload it when I find the time... and when my teacher isn't looking.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I can understand that; those bands are above comparison. Sometimes I just like to argue though.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

We were comparing originality, influence, and skill.

I remember that, the Zep team got their asses kicked.

I was on the Zep team :upset:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

We should also do maybe a Grateful Dead vs Allmans or something..??

Or wasn't that idea tossed up before?

[Badmoon]

It's a lot more fun if you set down your morality and just fought to prove which one if better.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

So, instead of acting decent, just

"ZEPPELIN RULEZ!@#!@#) !@!LOL!!!"

Actually, that does seem kind of fun. Noob debates.

[Illmatic]

I don't care enough about the Grateful Dead to do that argument?

Beatles vs. Rolling Stones? Nahhh, the Beatles' fans are too annoying for that argument.

[Badmoon]

We should also do maybe a Grateful Dead vs Allmans or something..??

Or wasn't that idea tossed up before?

Yea :)

That was one of the C.R. threads greatest moments. It's in the family album :D.

[Badmoon]

Or how about instead of acting like "00hhh 1t's stUpid to c0mpare bAnd's, They'''re n0thin al1ke".", just debate, it's fun.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Yea :)

That was one of the C.R. threads greatest moments. It's in the family album :D.

We did a GD vs Allman debate?

Damn, must have been during my bajillion year absence.

[Seafroggys]

Beatles vs. Rolling Stones? Nahhh, the Beatles' fans are too annoying for that argument.

Uh-huh....

I can safely say that more people here like the Beatles as opposed to the Stones. If you like the Stones style, go for The Who, as they are better.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Oh and Jam2Me, your usertitle is wrong.

I know you're talking about the Grateful Dead song "Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)"

The lyric is Neon LIVE Diamond.

I am the lyric nazi.

[Badmoon]

We would only invite regulars in this thread.

We did a GD vs Allman debate?

No, but it has been requested a bunch.

[Jam2Me]

Shall we organize a comparison of GD and ABB?

[Walrus Gumboot]

I wonder which is more popular, GD or ABB

[Jam2Me]

No it's "light" I just re-listened to it closely.

EDIT: Further argument: Neon Live Diamond would make no sense.


EDIT EDIT: Further argument: http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/goldroad.html
That site = Bible

[Badmoon]

1st: It would be setup for Friday or Saturday.
2nd: I refuse to document the debate this time. Someone else do it.
3rd: We must contact the regulars, most importantly Miik, Kingadamx, and Voodoo (They all kind of specialize in one of the chosen groups).
4th: We must find ways to even out the teams and rules.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Damn it lyrics.com you failed me.

And Paranoidd.

Oh how I miss Paranoidd.

What about DVG? Is he still around?

[Illmatic]

Uh-huh....

They don't sound alike. At all.

I'm back. And where has lunch been today? I haven't seen him.

My computers teacher lets us bring in CDs to listen to while we work on our projects, so today I brought in a Pink Floyd mixed CD. One kid tried to argue that because it wasn't made within the last seven months, that it was crap. :angry: (He's lucky he doesn't sit by me anymore.) But at the end of class, one kid asked if he could borrow the CD. I may have successfully turned on another kid to classic rock......unless he already likes classic rock. But I'm thinking I will expose the class to either some Dylan or Cream tomorrow. :cool:

The Who of course.

The Beatles changed pop culture in a way The Who couldn't even begin to imagine.

I'm not denying the fact that they had the first rock opera, good for them. But that doesn't equal anything compared to the revolutionary ideas the Beatles had.

[Illmatic]

The most important argument: The Beatles' music is drug-addled, pompous, oft-unbearable "psychadelic" nonsense.

Also, because of this comment, their rabid fans will skin me alive.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Who was the first group to use backwards guitar?
Who had the best songwriting duo in rock and roll history?
Who had 27 #1 hits in America?

Let me give you a hint, it wasn't the Who.

[lunch998]

The only things I can say for The Who is that they are superior talent wise in nearly every aspect, and also that they reached higher highs than the Beatles. The Beatles beat them in terms of number of good songs, but The Who's great songs were much better than the Beatles great songs.

[Johnny B. Good]

The Beatles had over 5 movies, many which were hits.
Paul M/John L/George H were the best songwriters to ever grace your ungrateful ears.

Wow, way to wake me from my fantasy that The Who were the greatest. Now my life is incomplete. :upset:

Yea, because popularity to the ignorant public determines how good a band is. :rolleyes:

[Distant Echoes]

Acutally...i think its argueable that beatles did have the first rock opera, since its been debated that Sgt Peppers was totally focused around the same theme throughout all the songs in a specific order, with the re-occuring Sgt Peppers Song in it, unless you want to consider that a concept album

[Illmatic]

Also, Townshend, Jagger/Richards, and Bob Dylan were better than Lennon and McCartney, at the very least. ****, George Harrison was better than Lennon and McCartney.

[lunch998]

Or because of the fact that they were revolutionary?

Many great bands aren't popular, so does that make them less of a great band? No.

No one is denying that The Beatles changed a lot, but that doesn't mean that the quality of each of their 27 #1s is superior to that of The Who's best songs.

That's a concept album, a rock opera has whole story not just a theme.

I always did like George best and felt he was taken advantage of.

Some of the Beatles' B-sides are arguably greater than any Who song.

I just said what the article said...probably a bit mistated though. It does follow a rough storyline though.

I have great respect for the beatles, but i thihnk their far from the greatest band ever. On counts of inspiration, maybe, but compared to others, probably within top 20, no higher

[Woodstock]

I always did like George best and felt he was taken advantage of.
Harrison was not taken advantage of. He was a horrible writer at first, but throught the help of Paul and John, he became fantastic.

Not any more unbearable than you, bringing up other pointless writers who had nothing to do with the present arguement.

Better material + more energy tends to equal better live performance.

[lunch998]

Apparently you have no argument for the Beatles live performance.

[Distant Echoes]

I wouldnt doubt the who live. Probably one of the only bands that could even release a live album and make it comparible or better then their original albums i.e. Live at Leeds

[Illmatic]

Well, when you snobby bastards like to bring up, "LENNON AND MCCARTNEY WERE THE BEST SONGWRITERS EVER!!!" I tend to get a little irritated.

How could I? You knowingly attacked an arguement that had no logical answer. You know the Beatles became a studio band.

I was actually joking.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Lennon and McCartney are some of the greatest songwriters, but no, they are not the best. They are better than Townshend, however.

[Woodstock]

Well, when you snobby bastards like to bring up, "LENNON AND MCCARTNEY WERE THE BEST SONGWRITERS EVER!!!" I tend to get a little irritated.
Me saying that Lennon/McCartney were the greatest songwriters is just as bad as you saying Dylan or Townshend is better. Both opinions=no arguement.

[lunch998]

I was just pointing to an aspect that comes in when comparing bands: live performance.

But you came back with a low blow about Pete's hearing.

The Beatles performed many live shows. I wasn't attacking Pete's hearing, you took it the wrong way. The Beatles became a studio band because they could not hear themselves play during live shows.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I do have to say that Pete had some nice moves in his live performances. But I still prefer the Beatles.

[lunch998]

Oh sorry, I misread that.

Another thing is that The Who could play Beatles style pop songs. The made some great ones. But they decided to evolve into a lot more than that, i.e. from The Who Sell Out to Tommy in just two years.

Pop to psychadelic-pop. And you also picked the two most extreme examples you could find, which still do not compare to the difference between "Cobwebs and Strange" and "The Overture"

[Distant Echoes]

I think in this case, the beatles have evolved more then any other band, with endless experimentation. Not just on a greatest hits album like 1 do you hear the difference, but on any album, theres always a few songas youll hear unlike any other song by any other band

But the who have some a long way to. I think they just consistently released great album after great album, no matter where the were in evolution

Maybe if this argument continues, Woodstock's opinion will change. Then the pigs in my basement will fly out of their cages.

Hmm, I think the Who was better live but The Beatles were more influential and overall better. If you asked Peter Townshend which band was better he would say the Beatles.

What do you guys think about CCR, I personally love them, they got some classic songs.

[thickasabrick]

I'm a huge CCR fan, we've talked about them before. I remember one time we all got on a rant about how great they were, but then someone didn't like them and it brought us all down.

I've only got two of their records (Bayou Country and Willie and the Poor Boys), but I've got one or two of their greatest hits cds (I think it's a double disc) and I love it. Their songs are so fun to play on guitar, and listen to as well.

[Johnny B. Good]

What's your fav song by them?

[thickasabrick]

Hard question. They had so many great songs. Basically anything from Bayou Country is great. But Fortunate Son is like the classic rock song.

edit- I cleaned out my pipe earlier today, so I'm gonna go give it a test run. See ya later!

[Johnny B. Good]

sweet I just reached 1000 posts. :D
It is hard to pick the best CCR song but I like "Who'll Stop the Rain" best

[Illmatic]

"Green River", "Run Through the Jungle", "Down on the Corner", or "Fortunate Son"

[Johnny B. Good]

Bad

Moon

Hehe...Fogerty is excellent.

[ArcLite]

I always liked Fortunate Son and Born on a Bayou.

[unclebobscircus]

One time, a friend of mine called me up and said, "I was just listening to the radio and that Vietnam song came on."

"Fortunate Son?"

"Yah, that's it."

:p

[magicbus]

Badmoon Rising is my favorite CCR song. Its very catchy.

And the Hotel California solo is very cool. I haven't heard this in a while cause I'm used to the live version.

[Broken Arrow]

They played Thick as a Brick on my radio station today.:cool:

[Woodstock]

CCR were great catchy songwriters. Very talented.

I especially love the 11 minute jam of I Heard It Through The Grapevine.

[Freddie9]

I love the Willy and the Poor Boys album

Down on the Corner is freakin sweet

[pigonthewing82]

Down On The Corner has the coolest bassline.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It was really funny, today during P.E, my friends and I were sitting on the bench and my friend brought this iPod stereo thing, so we were sitting there listening to bad moon rising, and we get up and everyone's gone. Our P.E teacher looks at us suspiciously and says "What are you doing, listening to CCR and getting wasted? Not in my class"

We found out later he was kidding and was a huge CCR fan.

[thickasabrick]

Do you guys think playing Down By the River would be too long to play at a talent show? I wanna play it, but I think the crowd wouldn't appreciate it, and get bored.

[Brewer14]

favorite CCR songs = Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou and Tomorrow Never Comes

[Illmatic]

Well I know a few guys who like him, but I'm not so sure about the rest of the crowd. I'm in a few classes with a girl who's related to him, but she hates him.

[Badmoon]

Speaking of "Bayou", I came up with a very cool band name.

The Bayou Runners


Yea, that's right up there with other Badmoon originals like...

Smell my Mule
Goldey Locks & The Daisy Eyed Trio

[thickasabrick]

Past band names I've tried using were Jambouree Junction and Wah Shrooms. Neither really worked out. I still plan on using Wah Shrooms for something because I like how it would look on an album/t-shirt etc

[Badmoon]

Jambouree Junction

Sounds like a TV show. I like it :thumb:

NP: Chet Atkins - Jerry's Breakdown

[Distant Echoes]

My last band never could decide a band name for more then a month until i quit...and their still changing it. I really like 'Lost Cause', but nothings ever good enough

Ever tried them band names generators online?

They dont work at all, but serve for some good laughs

[Illmatic]

"Lost Cause"?

No offense, but that name sucks.

[pigonthewing82]

has anybody in here heard the Grateful Dead's cover of All Along the Watchtower on the "Dozin' at the Kinck" I think that is Jerry Garcia's best guitar work

[Badmoon]

It is kind of Emoish, therefore not great. Though, I am not saying Goldey Eyes & The Daisy Eyed Trio is any good. :p

Lost Cause, that's a good one.

Jambouree Junction was what me and my friends called ourselves when we were in elementary school and we brought our harmonica's to school everyday and jammed together. When we got to highschool we stopped though, although last year we started up again with more of a percussion group. Although we still kept a harmonica and added my guitar. Mostly cool percussion beats though, snapping fingers, clapping hands, vocal percussion.

So I am now in Vocal Jazz at school, the first song I want to tackle would be a Beach Boys song, although everytime I suggest them someone says no.

[Badmoon]

Yes, Jerry does pretty well on that track. Though I believe he out does that on recordings like "Terrapin Station" and various songs from Wake of the Flood, In the Dark and collaborations with David Grisman. :)

I just rented

Jack Kerouac - On the Road

A definitive book for Beatniks and it of course features Neal Cassidy. If anyone hadn't know, Cassidy drove The Merry Pranksters' (San Fran Hippies spreading the word of LSD) Psychedelic Bus. He was also a very close friend of the Grateful Dead. They even wrote the songs "Cassidy" (Partially) and "That's it for the Other One" about him.

Are there any bootlegs from the Acid tests days?

On another note: I now have a famous bootleg from when the Doors were in Miami when Jim pulled out his wanker.

[Badmoon]

I doubt there's any bootlegs of those, but I may be wrong. The Grateful Dead were only a house band for the Big Beat Club back then.

Speaking of Books, you guys should read Living with the Dead. That book is beyond hilarious and has tremendous insight from there manager/co-writer (of the book) Rock Scully.
