Did i say anything about it being a competition? That is my opinion...
ok then, what do you guys think about foghat?

[QUOTE=Cream Team]sorry, keith moon and ginger baker beat him...he finishes in a close third however[/QUOTE]

Hence the one of my favorite. He's behind Bonham, Baker, Moon, Mitchell, Clive Bunker, and a few others on my list.

"Sorry, Keith Moon and...are better" who cares. So yes, you did put it in a competitive position.

This place is really getting sh[COLOR=White]it[/COLOR]ty

No, just filled with n00bs who don't think about what they post before they click that magical button "Post New Reply"

Everyone on AIM! I want to give samples.

Ian paice isn't really one of my favourites, but I'm not a huge deep purple fan to begin with.

Everyone keep an eye out on the Respected Bands you dislike thread, this can get good.

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]Ian paice isn't really one of my favourites, but I'm not a huge deep purple fan to begin with.[/QUOTE]

He's pretty good but I prefer many other drummers of the era to him.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]Everyone keep an eye out on the Respected Bands you dislike thread, this can get good.[/QUOTE]

Yea! Kick his ***.

Why doesn't Voodoo come by anymore? :(

me you and rock are pretty much the only originals that still visit regularly badmoon.

have the rolling stones been mentioned yet?


because they dont get enough respect around here


also, neil young

Oh trust me^ I throw in Neil to every conversation :thumb:

Anyways what C.d.s did everyone get last night?

Me:Neil Young-Zuma(this album has been so hard for me to find until now)

Van Halen-1984(already had it on viynl......so what)

CSN&Y-So Far(Jesus, this is the rarest album in my area I have been looking for this album for almosty a year)

Jimi Hendrix- Plays the Blues

Ian Paice is very good.

Same with Alex Van Halen!!(hasn't been mentioned.)

Yea Alex Van Halen is good, but I don't listen to Van Halen that much. And I think the Stones have probably been mentioned after 471 pages. Not sure though.

[QUOTE=Medopalis]I've never really got The Rolling Stones. They've got the odd really good song, but I think they're probably one of the most over-hyped classic rock bands overall. Keith Richards is a brilliant riff writer, but they just lack any real consistency.[/QUOTE]

To me their influence is more important than their music. They've made good music for 40 years(which I seriously respect them for) but they haven't made much great music, in my eyes.

Do you mean in your ears?

I love the Stones and I think they have made alot of amazing songs.


also quite a few not so good songs.

I think I will review Zuma

Neil is so good.

Last night I got a real copy of The Grateful Dead's Europe '72. My first one was burnt. :)

I ended up not getting any cds. I'll go today or tomorrow.

I like [I]Let It Bleed[/I], but I haven't been able to get into anything else they've done.

We should have an anual Classic Rock Thread Dead fest.

blue·grass ( P ) Pronunciation Key (blgrs)
n.
Music. A type of folk music that originated in the southern United States, typically played on banjos and guitars and characterized by rapid tempos and jazzlike improvisation

=p but that's about all I can give, other than it's similar to a country style, I guess.

nothin better , ever than the classics, done, no more discussion, its just so good

Bluegrass is a genre that has been really played since the 1800's, but was named and basically founed in the 30-40's. Bill Monroe was the founder and named the genre, and really came up with the commonly acknowledged style.

Bluegreass, when describing the sound, is Country but with more emphasis on virtuosity and speed. Which is easily heard. So in a way, Bluegrass to Country, is what Metal is to Rock.

Now, there a few common types of Bluegrass. Traditional, Progressive, Contemporary, and various others.

*updated to add info*

[QUOTE=Medopalis]Which bands are the best in the genre? Could The Grateful Dead be counted as one?[/QUOTE]

The Grateful Dead is a Bluegrass influenced Rock Band.

Bluegrass doesn't usually use electric instruments nor drums. Though Progressive sometimes does.

My favorite Bluegrass band (I'm not an expert, so these may be known to some of you).

Old & In the Way
Bill Monroe
Flatt and Scruggs
Leftover Salmon
The String Cheese Incident
David Grisman
Vassar Clements
Tony Rice
Foggy Mountain Boys

EDIT: Oh snap! and of course Garcia & Grisman (tons of their stuff is Bluegrass).

If any of you want samples just say so.

I'm going on a spamming spree this afternoon.

:lol: to both of you.

Bluegrass is awesome

*contributed to conversation*

Would The Devil Went Down to Gerogia be Bluegrass?

Two years ago we had a winter drum show that was a Bluegrass show, and we did Dueling Banjos and DWDtG with xylophones, snares, tenors, basses, marimbas......and a banjo!

Yea, it's a Bluegrass song.

I've heard the Primus version only.

man i love bluegrass...i just got into it last year though by my guitar teacher. he was in a bluegrass duo that toured canada, the states, and a lot of europe (this was quite a while ago). i have kind of became his apprentice. its really hard for me though because speed isnt my strong point in guitar, and thats something you really need for bluegrass.

im thinking of taking The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and changing the fiddle parts to guitar (cuz i cant play fiddle) and then me and my friends perform it for our school.

Can your friend play banjo? Cause it would adapt about 50 times easier, than to guitar. But I'm sure you don't mind some hard work.
