god, i love classic rock

van halen
guns 'n' roses
Slaughter
poison
skid row
twisted sister
etc...

iam thirteen, my fave bands ar led zep, the hendrix experience,AC/DC, rush and ritchie blackmores rainbow there is no other genre like classic rock. I spend most of my time stealing my dads record/CD's, the thing is bands these days cant play their instruments half as well as these 'old' bands i have been playing guitar for just over 2 years and can play twice as well as tom dillong (no offence to any blink182 fans.0 and busted ought to be put in tiny boxes tied up with string and put in cold dark rooms with no electricity :evil: .if we start getting more bands like the darkness classic rock is definatly going to make a come back, im not saying that the darkness are good im just saying that theyre heading in the right direction.

hey lovly lil anarchist i dont mean to moan but half the bands you named there are new wave not classic just thought i'd point that out :D sor if i seam like a total perfectionist but i just like to spread the knowledge :D

Classic rock bands, in my opinion, are like Cream, Led Zepplin (duh), Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, the Who, basically anyone who revolutionized music when they were big..there are bands that are attempting to "bring back" the classic rock sound, like Weezer, the Darkness, Rooney, al them..and dont get me wrong, they're all really cool, but guys like clapton and jeff beck and Ted Nugent and Pete townshend, you just can't beat them...they revolutionized today's music

[QUOTE=DVG]Side note: Between Creedence Clearwater Revival and Dire Strights... which do you guys like better? There heaps similar, but i'd have to say Dire Statights. More intresting songs.

Edit: BTW, i love Plants voice!

CCR by a mile. Though I sort of like the D.S's. I'm a fan of Bluegrass, and slightly Country, and CCR blend that will Rock perfectly. That is one huge reason why I choose them.

The MC-5

^ What about The MC5?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ What about The MC5?[/QUOTE]

This is the thread where everybody names classic rock bands. Geez man get on the bandwagon!


:rolleyes:

Crazy C.R. n00bs!

So I was looking for an article on record players for a school project and I found this one. It's more proof that classic rock is coming back. [URL=http://www.thedesertsun.com/news/stories/national/1044492910.shtml]http://www.thedesertsun.com/news/stories/national/1044492910.shtml[/URL]

^ hmmmm I have a record player, and use it a lot.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ hmmmm I have a record player, and use it a lot.[/QUOTE]

So do all of the fathers of time :). But the fact that younger people are wanting record players to play the original LPs is awesome.

Maybe we can have a repeat of the 70s in the 2010s :D. Ok i'm getting a little ahead of myself here :(

^ Lol.

Have any of you heard or have George Harrison's [I]Brainwashed[/I]. Waht are your opinions on it. I'd give it a 10/10, it's amazing.

I just for some reason heard this. Jethro Tull's keyboard is now a she. He had a sex change :lol:

[I]hey lovly lil anarchist i dont mean to moan but half the bands you named there are new wave not classic just thought i'd point that out sor if i seam like a total perfectionist but i just like to spread the knowledge [/I]

what's the difference, love? i must not be on top of things...

Yeah, classic rock is gaining popularity in our school Id like to say my band has soemthing to do with it, but I dont wanna sound conceited. Im attempting to spread the gospel of classic rock. Im burning people CDs of classic rock songs and exchanging them for a CD with their music that they burn me. Im hopin people will begin to appreciate music more.

Did anyone mention the band Yes? Yes is awesome, just saw them in concert last Sunday...

But anyways, I don't really see it gaining very much popularity. I think it's always been the same - teenagers like [c]rap. This is coming from a 13 year old girl. Hells yes. Me and a few close friends absolutely love Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Who, Yes, Deep Purple, Jefferson Aiplane, The Eagles, Van Halen, Lynard Synard, etc. But other than my friends, nobody around here seems to dig classic rock (except our parents haha).

Oh and one more thing - 13th Floor Elevator (in my opinion) had that psychadelic rock sound before Zeppelin - in 1965. I think Zeppelin perfected it...

[QUOTE=badmoon349]I just for some reason heard this. Jethro Tull's keyboard is now a she. He had a sex change :lol:[/QUOTE]

i read about that. fortunatly, Ian Anderson is a compationate man and dosent look down upon him, umm i mean her, for this and will continue with her in the lineup and their friendship, which i like to see. J-tull are untouchable, i simply adore them :)

Led Zeppelin was barely Psychedelic rock. Nor did they perfect it, and nor did 13th.

The perfectionists of that sub-genre are The Velvet Underground, no doubt.

:eek: Is that a joke or is it real?

^ Does this face look like it's joking :confused:

i went and saw a pink floyd laser light show a while ago...that was awesome

[QUOTE=imbrianfellows]i went and saw a pink floyd laser light show a while ago...that was awesome[/QUOTE]

lol W/E as long as they keep that cool flute player in.. Ian Anderson I think they kick *** :thumb:

BTW, i think all musical instruments played by guys should be female. I mean.... Playing a guy... it.... no.

DVG.

Yeah true. Music is so :naughty:

I love this album. When people talk about George they only mention [I]All Things Must Pass[/I] . I think this album is super-underrated. My favorite songs are probably "Stuck Inside a Cloud", "Rocking Chair in Hawaii" and well... basically I love every song. Badmoon, thanks for bringing this up. 9.5/10

I heard about it. I want to hear it. He's such a great guitarist :) *drifts off*

Ok, I mentioned this band before, but not one other person has mentioned anything about them here.

Am I really the *only* one here who loves Wishbone Ash?
If you like classic rock, and you haven't heard 'Argus' yet, you are missing out on something awesome.

i never heard of him before. but what are ur opinions on steve miller. i love that song "the joker" it's been stuck in my head for a week.
abrakadabra annoys me, but go on take the money and run is awesome, as is jungle love. fly like an eagle and swingtown are also personal favorites. opinions?

Deep Purple Is Playing By Me In August And I'm Getting Tickets!!!

[QUOTE=badmoon349]Frail should know.[/QUOTE]

i beleive Andy Geddings is the most recent keyboards player in J-tull, hired in 1992 i think.

my favorite jethro tull song is def "thick as a brick." quite a unique song, very creative. and it changes completely too many times to count.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]Deep Purple Is Playing By Me In August And I'm Getting Tickets!!![/QUOTE]

Lucky kid. I get no good concerts. I'll have to go to Toronto for Van Halen :(.
