I might start a band once I get my electric guitar. We would be sort of a Van Halen type band exept with less good soloing obviously. We would have a few acoustic songs and maybe even a few bluesy songs.[/QUOTE]

The best thing you could do instead of starting a band right away, is learn atleast 15 covers by yourself. The covers would have to be by a band(s) that you want to sound like. Don't make originals until you can play each of those songs, have them down by memorization, and know them like the back of your hand. That will give you a knowledge of what you want to write and what you want to sound like. The next step would be, forming a band. Just don't rush into stuff. This is all being said from a guy who rarely gets out, and no tons of crap like this. Make sure you know what you want from your band also.

what do you guys feel about Aerosmith's all blues album that just came out?

^ not much of an Aerosmith fan, but I can see downloading some songs from it.

thanx for the avatar dvg. i wish i coulda been at that purple concert ...

[QUOTE=badmoon349]Yeah, right now I'm making us do a bunch of old folk and blues covers, so it morphs our playing and it gives us some background. We've been playing for a short time. The covers we have done don't fit exactly what I just said, but were working on some covers that do. The covers we have done, in our short time together are "Bad moon Rising", and "Uncle John's band".[/QUOTE]

good selections. my band have been working on "rock and roll" "heartbreaker" and "fire." o yea and "crazy train"

Heh, we were going to do fire until we realized how bad it sounded without vocals.

I'd like to hear it, but as of yet i really can't comment.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]thanx for the avatar dvg. i wish i coulda been at that purple concert ...[/QUOTE]


i hear theyre at newcastle soon so i might go and see them unless thats the concert you were talking about....

[QUOTE]Heh, we were going to do fire until we realized how bad it sounded without vocals. [/QUOTE]

Speaking of "Fire", the drumming on there is nuts. Do any of your drummers play it exact? It took me a, okay amount time to learn it exact. That was a while ago though. It shows you how great Mitch Mitchel was.

the drummer in my band can listen to anything to anything then play along with it straight after but with fire he has to listen to it before every time he plays it

Mitch Mitchel is great. Most underated drummer ever.

Lets each post the Classic Rock bands we hate the most.

Dire Straits
Steely Dan
Foreinger
Rolling Stones (to a small degree)
Led Zeppelin
The Ramones

Classic rock is perfect. I have not yet found a classic rock band that I hate.

Edit:^ I never thought the Ramones were classic rock. Yeah ok I hate them. I hate one classic rock band that I don't even consider classic rock.

^ Pathetic answer :lol:

That was really fast. :eek:

And I seriously can't find any classic rock that I hate. Some of it might sound bad but if it's classic rock I can't hate it. I can dislike the music but that is as far as I can take it.

IN my opinion Zeppelin is the best band ever. They r my favorite band and my own rock band aspires to be as great as them. I know at least a fourth of their songs and am still learning more. I think that classic rock is birdging the gap between two generations and I have been noticing a classic rock revival in my area :thumb: . Bands from today rip off so much of classic rocks greatest songs and riffs and I notice it everyday. Without classic rock where would we be??????????

I agree with you completely. But you better hightail it out of here before badmoon gets angry at you for saying that Led Zeppelin did all of that. He will beat you senseless for believing that Zeppelin did anything for music (:p to badmoon).

IMo the most talented all around band ever and certainly one of the best sounding.

Hey anyone else see sarstock last summer?

They did ****!! :p


No, I believe they have talent, but I do believe they're slightly overrated, in all aspects.

I use to like them, but it's just Robert Plant's voice that makes you dislike them. There are many other reasons why I dislike them, but that is one large part.

Oh yea guys, that reminds me, yesterday, as an opening act, Jimi Hendrix's Second Cousin was there. He can really play! but i dono, he didnt have the soul... or mabye i couldnt care too much about him waiting for DP to come on. Anyway, they said hes got an album on the way, and the stuff he plays, real classic rock sorta stuff, i sorta hope he makes it big, 'cause yea.

Edit: Badmoon, ye Avatar.

DVG.

to badmoon: led zeppelin IS good.

^ To Asodre: Your an ignorant sh*t who doesn't know how to explain himself.

I do understand what you mean about them being slightly over rated but they're still an amzing band in my opinion.

I have a friend that also really disliked robert plant's voice for a while, at first he was a huge fan then the voice got to him now he's becomeing a fan again. But what I found odd about it is that he listens to alot of radio head, and really likes thom yorke (yes his voice to me is very annoying at times).

Although I disagre with you i respect your opinion because you have actual reasons not "They're just old fogey music".

Anyways as for bands I dislike it depends on what you consider classic rock. However one band that took a wrong turn was jefferson airplane. As jefferson airplane they had good stuff but later on they just sucked - jefferson starship and such.

But like, heaps of people out there who go 'I LOVE LED ZEPPLIN!!' have only actually heard Stairway to Heaven.

DVG.

i like led zeppelin, except plant bothers me.

classic rock bands i don't like:
Fleetwood Mac
KISS


do any of you guys like the Motown stuff? personally i love a lot of it. i know most of it is pop stuff and i'm prob gonna get flamed for this, but i'm a big stevie wonder fan. i also love the temptations and the four tops. and marvin gaye and smokey robinson.

Yea, i know, or people that go "CALSSIC ROCK IS AWESOME" have only heard zeppelin, but hey some of them are just new to it and haven't had their time to "grow".

But ya i do not what you mean, most "real" (for lack of a better word) classic rock fans like the song, but I don't know a single one who would site it as their favourite song. The song is defintely over rated, it's good but they have better stuff. I find the bigger fans of bands are often the ones that like the bands less popular songs.

Ya, i don't really care for kiss, i'm sure their shows are great but as far as music goes it's mediocre. In interviews they seem much to full of themselves I they're all "ya, rock sucked and then we came and everybody was happy" especially gene simmons.

Fleetwood mack- not much to say, I just don't like their music.

^ Yeah, I also hate Fleetwood Mac

what instruments do u guys play, and what are your favorite classic rock songs to play along to. i play drums (6 years) and guitar (1 month). i really can't play along with anything yet on the guitar, but on the drums i like playing to "fire," "baba o'reilly," "frankenstein," "won't get fooled again," and lots of cream and zeppelin.

i think it would be a cool idea if we started an e band and recorded covers of classic rock songs. unfortunately i have no recording equiptment.

^ nor do I

o well, so much for that idea.

I play guitar and don't really have a favorite band to play. I'll learn anything if I like it.

I play drums and enjoy playing a bunch fo different stuff, cream, zeppelin, and hendrix mostly but i'm going to learn some the who stuff soon and some doors if i can convince my guitarist to play some of it.

guitar- i play mostly speed metal and uplifting power metal type leads

bass- if im in a bluesy mood im basically a replica of John Paul Jones, but when im writing and jamming im a Steve Harris (iron maiden) triplet nut with the neck knowledge and style of Geddy Lee.

I play guitar(about 6 months) and I'm gonna order a harmonica in a month or two. When I play guitar I'm super diverse. I play anything from Bob Dylan to Metallica to Incubus to Phish to AC/DC to everything else. I love all music. I also can't do the e-band thing since I got no recording equipment.......and I kinda suck :P

Classic Rock is pretty good, but it's way too popular in my opinion. I love bands like Pink Floyd, the Beatles, CCR, THe Byrds, etc but most of the best classic rock bands are from the 60s. In the 70s it lost all of it's credibility when bands like the Eagles, BTO, and Foreigner emerged. That stuff is so generic. Another thing is that is get so much play on the radio, the classic rock. Why doesn't the radio ever play and Velvet Underground, they are a classic example of a great rock band.

^ guitar, 4 years, i play mostly anything rock related, metal, classic, whatever.

DVG.

I'm 15 and most of my friends like the ocassional classic rock song but i don't know any one who likes it as much as me. In the christmas/summer holidays my Dad gave me all his old vinyl and the covers were a little dirty but I cleaned them up and now I have, Cream-Disrali Gears, The Jimi Hendrix Experience-Smash Hits, The Beatles-White album
and heaps of others like jefferson airplane, the byrds and what not. Ive played acoustic guitar for 2 years but I'm 4 weeks away from getting a squire strat.
My 9 year old brother loves classic rock after seeing that movie, school of rock
