I live north of the border.

I was at lunch the other day in school, and this kid I sit with wanted me to listen to one of him Cd's he brought in. It was from some new band that I forget the name of. Anyway, the riff sounded way too familiar to be made p by that band. It was killing me for 2 days, then a light bulb went on and I realized that it was the riff to Substitute by The Who. I was uber pissed.

[QUOTE=i am miik]Whats the big deal with "A day in the life" by the Beatles? I've heard it's considered one of the best rock songs of all time, but I wouldn't even consider it the best beatles song.[/QUOTE]

Because it's beautiful, quirky, happy, sad, has John singing, has Paul singing, ect...

I may go to Chicago Jazz Fest tommorow :D

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah


Pretty cool song considering I'm not a fan of The Who

^(badmoon)It also has, I believe, the longest held chord on record - that last, rollicking E chord to end the song. How long is that, like 16-30 seconds?

^(still badmoon)I wish [b]I[/b] could be going to the Chicago Jazz Fest tomorrow. How'd you manage that as a possibility?

^(actual above poster) The Who is, in my opinion, a great band. Good song, by the way.

(to no one)Does "Rush" count as classic Rock, perchance? Because I'm wondering how in God's name he sings like that. I heard "Closer to the Heart" on the Radio the other day and had to tell myself that was a guy. (Note: another guy who sounds like that is the guy from "Coheed and Cambria", but they are not Classic Rock. No C&C discussion.)

Lucky, I heard they're gonna be covering a whole bunch of compositions by Thelonious Monk one of the nights. Not sure if that's tomorow or when. HAve a good time if you go.

[QUOTE]^(still badmoon)I wish I could be going to the Chicago Jazz Fest tomorrow. How'd you manage that as a possibility?[/QUOTE]

I live in Chicago ;)

Medeski, Martin & Wood were supposed to be there, but they canceled :(

Sigh......There are no jazz bands or jazz festivals in Cleveland. I'm stuck with good old rock and roll(Not that it's really a bad thing really, RnR Hall of Fame!!)

Godda[B][I][/I][/B]mn, I love self-indulgent, 15+ minute songs. Something about 'em, I dunno. :)

Now playing:

"[I]Celebration of the Lizard[/I]" by the Doors.

^Make the next spin off username DavidCrosby ;)

^^16 posts away from 6000.

I like my jazz song 6 or 7 minutes long. Over 15 minutes is just excessive.

I hope I don't have to. :(

One perm ban is enough, tanks

[QUOTE=themightyquinn23]I like my jazz song 6 or 7 minutes long. Over 15 minutes is just excessive.[/QUOTE]


I didn't say anything bout self-indulgent [B]jazz[/B], hun.

That song I posted earlier is over 17 minutes, but the length is really the only reason I called it self-indulgent. But yeah, most people probably don't share my view.

Why were you permd?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]Why were you permd?[/QUOTE]


I made a joke "free ipod" thread. It was obviously not serious, but I guess a mod felt a spam thread was enough for a perm ban. Meh, no biggie though, it's just internet.

That's stupid

I'm sure you'll be unpermed eventually, making this system completely hypocritical, but it wouldn't be the first time.

say badmoon did you ever finish that bio? (I think it was garcia but i'm too lazy to go back through all the pages and check)

Yeah, want a small review?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]Yeah, want a small review?[/QUOTE]
Ya, I do remember hoping you'd do one when you were done.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]Why were you permd?[/QUOTE]
:lol: does anyone else find that funny? :amaze:... no? okay.. :upset:

I didn't toke up before, because my dad and brother ended up coming as well, to see another band there. I don't think they're very well know, because they pretty much play in the michigan/ohio area.

In exchange for the review of (whatever the title was) I'll do a review of No woman, No cry for you when I'm done! :thumb:

Okay


Well, for one, what does one hope for when reading a book about a man who was lived a very wild life like Jerry Garcia has? Good/interesting stories. And the book includes them, and even more so than I expected. The book puts tons of emphasis on each of his projects, and just overall life. More facts than one can count, and the book just kept me reading. Not the best Grateful Dead related book I've read ([I]Living with The Dead[/I] is), but it has renued my love for them, and for Garcia.

7.9/10

I give your review a 2/10. It was good, but you forgot the name of the book and author! Fatal mistake.

This has been a review of "the badmoon review of the book who's name is as of yet not known" by Badmoon349!

ehh this has gone off topic a bit...this has gotta be the most successful rock metal thread yea? but anyway has anyone seen the newest Led Zeppelin DVD. I thought it was great, ive never heard them live before, and when jimmy page used the violin stick on the guitar! that was soo cool, how creative. I managed to watch the whole thing through in a single night, it was just too good to come back to another time, what did you all think of it?

Yea, but we just got more style :cool:

I just came back from a Peter Finger concert, not quite classic rock, but if any of you have heard of him, hes a f'ucking ACE acoustic guitarist. Im still in a daze from how good he is.
