[QUOTE=Jacaranda]I think that Micheal Jackson being a "cho mo" got number 1 or two.[/QUOTE]

No, it was Lennon's death.

Oh, then was he number 2? What was Elvis's death?

I haven't seen them all. So far, I remember:

-Iggy Pop slashing his chest open during a Stooges concert
-The Who smashing their instruments on the Smothers Brothers show
-Keith Moon accidentally killing his chauffeur
-Karen Carpenter dying from anorexia
-Chuck Berry getting charged with hidden cameras in a women's washroom
-The Red Hot Chili Peppers going on stage with socks on their c[I]o[/I]cks
-Public Enemy getting in trouble for anti-Semitic comments
-John Lennon getting followed by the FBI

A ton of other stuff. I'm 99% sure Lennon dying is number one, though.

[QUOTE]-The Who smashing their instruments on the Smothers Brothers show[/QUOTE]

This is hilarious to watch. Especially when it seems like they're done and then Keith Moon's bass drum explodes.

You guys make me look like Stephen Hawking...minus the retarded part.

I know she's not classic rock, but it was hilarious seeing Bjork attack that reporter in Thailand.

Nothing about Jerry's Death; I thought that was a little odd.

The public is more interested in Kurt Cobain killing himself.

I think in the first show after that happened, the Smothers Brothers parodied it.

Because it's the best thing that's ever happened to music.


I probably shouldn't have said that.

Are you guys familiar with the Soft Machine?

ive got 1 and 3 but i almost never listen to them. just couldnt really get into them.

[/QUOTE]

Yep.

[QUOTE=Idiot Martyr]Because it's the best thing that's ever happened to music.[/QUOTE]

I've always wondered what would compel someone to say that.

I mean, if Kurt Cobain dying was the BEST thing to ever happen to music, that really doesn't say all that much about music, does it?

Yeah, it wouldn't say much about the evolution of music over the last one hundred years if the epitome was some redneck from Seattle blowing his brains out.

If hundreds (thousands?) of years in music culminates in the suicide of an unspectacular grunge musician, something has gone awry.

That's all I'm saying.

I've got vol.2.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]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.[/QUOTE]

yeah i guess youz r rite. alll deez pozerz at my skool r wearn leik led zeplin shirtz and im liek dude u r just a pozerz. If they were fanz fur realz they wuld listn 2 teh who.

[QUOTE=i am miik]I would have to disagree on Gregs voice. He still sounds like Greg Allman, but you can tell its wearing out a bit. They did a lot of jams when I went. Not bad, but I would have liked to here some of the classics as well. Oteil was the most suprising part of the concert. I've heard Haynes before with Gov't Mule, and Trucks before with his band, but Oteil was really amazing. While the rest of the band went backstage for a break, he stayed out and played for about 10 minutes by himself. And of course, I miss Dickey Betts. As a guiter player, he was my favorite member of the band. I know Haynes and Trucks are great, but I truly believe nobody can match Betts as far as tone.[/QUOTE]
Yea, Oteil is really amazing. He reminds me a lot of Entwistle. It was mostly jams, but they played some classics from Live At The Fillmore East. Unfortunately, no Whipping Post or Midnight Rider.

What songs did they play?

Was moe. good?

I'm really loving the CDs I bought on Monday. On the live DsotM they jam on "Any Colour You Like" for about 8 min, its soo good. I also really love 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus.

Bob Marley is such a cool guy.

He's almost as cool as me. :cool:

Reading his biography destroyed the wholesome image of him I had though, but at the same time as much as some of the things he did were terrible it gives you a new respect for him seeing what he really went through, and though he's human and made alot of mistakes how he handled them.

Who has checked out MARSHALL TUCKER BAND??!!

What are some of the terrible things he did?

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]What are some of the terrible things he did?[/QUOTE]
Spmething thats not terrible is his album Natty Dread,.

[QUOTE=Jam2Me]Who has checked out MARSHALL TUCKER BAND??!![/QUOTE]

My dad has their s/t. It's okay; good country rock.

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]What are some of the terrible things he did?[/QUOTE]
Well he did lots of things like cheat on his wife, I beleive he hit her once. I'm too lazy to really go double check and list them all now. He didn't start any wars or anything, but he did commit adultery many many times, spawning numerous other children, as a well as hit his wife (I don't want to say beat because I think it was a single incident and yet I don't think it was a single hit either).

But he and his wife I would say did a formidable job of overcoming their problems.

Does anyone like Gong? Heard of them?
