Classic rock is the ****
 

Well really tho, where else do you see music theory unfold in the most beautiful way... modern rock???? r ya ****in kiddin me????..... Classic rock isthe ****, those who dont like it are the ones who can't play it... simple as that....

Earlier.. I saw a thread by someone that said classic rock sucked... I wanted to post him a nice little reply, but I hadnt signed up as a member, and then i couldnt find the thread...

So here I am... a newbie... My name is Farooq... aka rooqster...

The doors are good. But for one, I just can't see why so many people are making Morrison out to be a lyrical genius.

Is lyrics were just good, they had many deep meanings, odd topics, and were just outrageous. I can see why people don't like them though.

Maybe I'm a Doors noobie, but I just haven't heard anything that great from him lyrically. Alot of the were great songs, don't get me wrong, alot of cool blues jams and stuff but the lyric was simple blues. Riders on the Storm and The Hitchhiker are show great lyric but other than that I just don't see it.

Can anybody care to point me to some other tunes where his "genius" lies?

i love classic rock. its so much better than the new stuff. jet is pretty close to the good stuff. classic rock saved my life. i used to listen to boy band stuff, very sad. and then came along kiss and i was saved. thank you rock n roll :thumb:

The End. Genius I say.

Boy Bands > Kiss

[QUOTE=PinkFloyd]Boy Bands > Kiss[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't take it that far...

Thanks, I'll look into it, rock not roll

I would. Look: Both can't write worth a ****. But atleast Boy Bands have better vocal talent.

^ I guess. And they can dance. I liked 98 degrees and the backstreet boys back in the day...

^hahaah

Back i nthe day of being 8 years old and not getting into good music yet!

All though at the same time I liked boybands and pop music, I also liked Tom Petty :cool:

I was a Def Leppard fan at 8. And I thought that was embarassing... Although I supposed "I won't backdown" by Tom Petty is a decent song.

They are all good :angry:

Sure... :D

I miss it all.

I was a Beach Boys fan, and a Blues Traveler fan. My mom played The Beach Boys, and my dad played Blues Traveler.

Though, if someone asked if I was into music, I'd say no. But if I had to pick my favorite bands then, it'd probably be those two..

[QUOTE]Boy Bands > Kiss[/QUOTE]

See, I like Kiss. And after having to defend my liking so much. I came to the conclusion that people put too much emphasis on why you like a band. I really can't explain why I really like them (Well, not to a great extend). I am just simply attracted to their music.

Is anyone else like that with other bands?

RnR, ill get round to doing ye avatar sometime =)

And about Pink Floyd, it wasnt just about the music! It was about the emotion and the feeling and the attitude that went along with it! I think its hard to listen to a PF song and not go, 'ye gods, this is magical'. Sure they invent the genre or whatever, but these guys are gods! Have you seen the PULSE DVD? Its so friggin phyc its crazy.

And yea, i got a few bands i like although i dont know why, like the sex pistols, the vandals and the exploited. Mostly punk bands.

ohoh, the Eagles are coming to town 8)

DVG.

Classic Rock is definately one ofthe coolest things ever, The Eagles, Clapton, The Who, Pink Floyd...The list goes on and on

I'm back from Italy!

God CD's are SO expensive. I did pick up a nice little box set of the first 3 Velvet Underground albums, remastered, for 15 Euros (about 30 Canadian dollars).

New CD's go as high as 30 euros! Crazy...

Welcom back :)

You missed some good discussion and one or two fights.

Fights are always good.

I hate German airlines too...argh. I wanted to punch out a flight attendant for yelling at me for asking for tea...but I digress.

Here is my somewhat classic rock story about Italy :)

So I'm in my town (3 hours south east of Rome) which isn't a BIG town, but as far as small towns go, its a decent size. Now I went because it was our "festa" (feast) which is basically a big party for the whole town. They apparently had some bands playing, which I figured would be shyte. I shouldn't have made assumptions. I was already impressed looking at the setup because the drum kit seemed to be fairly large, so I was naturally assuming the band would be good, but I also figured they'd be playing some bog-standard Italian music (which I don't like).

Then I saw couple decent looking guitars...a nice semi-hollow gibson electric (very old) and what I think was a roland g10 (which I can't even begin to describe, you gotta look it up). Anyways I'm still assuming its going to suck, but then the guitar player comes out with a beautiful white gibson SG doubleneck and proceeds to play a 15 minute solo (well after 10 minutes the drummer came out and played with him), but I tell you, the only word that kept flashing through my mind was "Zeppelin" because he sounded exactly like Page...it was such a beautiful composition and arrangement, and after the drummer joined him, I was practically drooling.

Unfortunately, he didn't play anything else like that for the rest of the set, because they were a jazz band (although a very, very good one).

I just did not expect anything like that in my town...all the old people were covering their ears :lol:

I wish I had recorded it :(

Thats the only good music related story I have. One of those little things I'll remember forever.

Classic rock is at this point still the riegning genre of music to me, you can here the bands actual want to create good music and not make a quick buck. I agree with alot of you that the beatles are one of the greatest bands of the 60's, but not everyone likes em as much as, zeppelin, the doors, floyd, but everyone should give them respect for what they did for music. If only someone could bring back the sound of the 60's, 70's and 80's, but in many ways the music indusrty of today wont allow things like that to happen, hell i bet neil young wouldnt be able to get a recording contract just because hes sort of an ugly guy, which is why i dont really pay attention to what music comes out now adays cause alot of the time right from the get go the actual music is made second priority. just thought id give my 2 cents, and by the way for anyone who just thinks that Blind Melon is a one hit wonder (which they were) download or buy some of there music and youll find that they were a band that sounded like Lynrd Skynrd and Zeppelin in some ways, and yes people are starting to realize half the music of today sucks and are reverting back to classic rock. :wave:

Blind Melon was awesome.

Blind Melon's great. Some of there heavier songs remind me off The Grateful Dead + Soundgarden. I learned "No Rain" last night, btw.

I learned the riff from no rain by accident while just playing random notes.

I love when that happens, such a cool feeling :D
