What are you doing to pay your respects?

Apparently just playing music.

I was never one for celebrating death days. It doesn't matter to me on which day they died, if they're dead and I respect them then I pay my respects to that person any time throughout the year.

[QUOTE=Schyma]Can you post it possibly? :)[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I meant they were both vinyl :(

He demonstrated the power of spirituality in Jazz and served as the catalyst for a whole new musical universe.

He influenced many Rock musicians during the late 60's.

Don't ignore Phil's Classical influences also. They were certainly also present.

Coltrane is really known and praised for his solo ability and songwriting. Both are highly advanced and technically still ahead of the game.

They were present, but it was Coltraine's influence that opened his mind to improvisational music

Smashing Pumpkins are '90s, how is that Classic Rock?

Metallica was '83, almost.

I think it's time to introduce you folks to the Blue Van. They're one of the best new bands I've heard in a loooong time. Bass, drums, guitar, and a really awesome Hammond Organ. Their sound is really early sixties Kinks/Who rock, but it's not as if they just blatantly copy a sound.

At the bottom of that page, there are three songs you can download fully.

Metallica was doing concerts in ''81

Who cares they're not Classic Rock.

Why are Metallica not considered classic rock and Guns n' Roses are even though Guns n' Roses realesed thier first cd in 89 and Metallica has been around a ton longer. Is it the sound?

Did anyone know that there was a Rust Never Sleeps DVD? I just got it for 10 dollars.

Also got "The Doors: 1968 Tour" DVD.

Many of the CR regulars don't consider GnR as classic rock. They're hard rock-ish.
