No You Idiot what Are you thinking?!?!? Haha

I like how this thread doubles as the "How much cooler is where you live compared to other mxers" Thread.

the other night i started giving this guy guitar lessons. he was fairly old, but i didnt make any comments, even though most of my students are under sixteen.

he said when he was young, him and his friend would also go to this club to watch the sexy go go dancers, and there was always this black guitarist there. he said he saw the guitarist there like about ten times, but he was always just watching the dancers, instead of the band.

he found out after, that the guitarist was hendrix...and he had no clue.

what a waste of being born in the sixties.

besides 3MTA3, was anyone else here old enough to see all the old rockstars in their prime?

....sexy go go dancers, poor poor Hendrix.
and the answer is no. (for me anyways...how sad :upset: )


.....my birth>the death of good rock :upset:

All the good bands come to Ontario.

Nobody wants to go to the praries, they suck.

It is rockabilly but with some pychdellic influence.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]And yeah, classic rock is becoming extremely popular among teenagers.[/QUOTE]

Really all my friends are still into punk only a select few of us have grown into classic rock.

you guys should go over to the Zep thread. There's some vicious fighting going on over Pages orginality...again :rolleyes:

Im getting a CCR album which one shall I get?

heh..ya thats my fault. its over now though.

[QUOTE=Schyma000]Im getting a CCR album which one shall I get?[/QUOTE]

my favourite is Bayou Country, but Willie and the Poor Boys may appeal to some people more. all of their albums are awesome so im not sure. maybe take a peek at the songs and see which ones you like/maybe dont like.

The original question on this thread was about noticing an increased interest in classic rock, especially among younger people. Yes, BOnzO, I have noticed that. 2 examples: My nephews and their friends love AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, as well as other older rock bands. I was working at someone's house last summer and heard a band practicing in the basement. They were playing Purple Haze and Stairway To Heaven. The homeowner informed me they were a bunch of 15 year olds. I'm glad to see this and I hope it causes some (what I consider to be) positive changes in modern music to occur.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Your right you do all that. All I was saying was that you sometimes act as though your musical taste is superior to everyone elses(In some cases it obviously is, but in others, it is opinion.) And I called you above everyone else because you say things like "you, Jpj, and the other non-originals", it just came off as though you think because you were an [B]original your better than everyone else.[/B] That might not be what you think, just how I read it. If that wasn't what you meant, then I apologize for creating a useless argument and wasting space.[/QUOTE]

Well by god, it's not my fault you take it that way. Would it be any less offending if I was to call all of you, the second waver of posters in The Classic Rock Thread?

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]heh..ya thats my fault. its over now though.[/QUOTE]

That's ok, there's another one brewing here.

i've heard a few people mention Rory Gallagher over the past little while. Can anyone give me into on him or his band, and any good songs i should try listening to.

Already have Bayou Country so I shall get Willie and the Poor Boys.

the LEMON SONG HAS THE GREATEST AVATAR OF ALL TIME

Rory Gallagher was an Irish blues/rock guitarist who played at Woodstock as a member of Taste. I'm fond of his Tatoo album. Tatoo'd Lady, A Million Miles Away and Crest Of A Wave are good songs to check out. The 1st 2 songs are on Tatoo. I saw him in concert (opening for Rush) and he was great.

thanks. Is his Tatoo album part of his solo career? or part of Taste? Does he have a solo career, or should i just search stuff under Taste?

I kinda like a big therad like this I mean weve developed a community seperated from R&M...Also I agree with Badmoon. Leave now :wave:

I like the way I quoted him, with the colors and all.

Yea I wasn't sure what that was. Good job though.

ya i prefer these kinds of threads to short "15 minutes on the first page and then they are gone forever" kind of threads. plus the regulars in this thread are smart and have meaningful posts, not like in some threads.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]thanks. Is his Tatoo album part of his solo career? or part of Taste? Does he have a solo career, or should i just search stuff under Taste?[/QUOTE]He had an extensive solo career. I'm not familiar at all with Taste, just that he was in the band. Tatoo, Calling Card and Against The Grain are very good CDs by him. Sinner And Saint has some good and some not so good stuff on it.

excellent. thanks for the info. one more question (and i hate asking this), what sort of genre would you classify him as? like im assuming classic rock, but like more blues, folk, prog etc etc? im just wondering.

I'm moving the Zeppelin discussion to this thread.

I don't think Stairway sucks, I don't think its overrated. I think that its a good song, but there are other Zeppelin songs that are better. I'm just tired of everyone saying "its the greatest song ever".

And Led Zeppelin II is my favorite album of theirs. Its awesome. I love listening to it.

I don't like Rock and Roll, Four Sticks, and Going To California. Other than that, I enjoy IV. I've just heard the majority of those song on the Early Days cd, so I'm taking a break from it. I still like them though. Especially Black Dog, Battle of Evermore, and When The Levee Breaks.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]excellent. thanks for the info. one more question (and i hate asking this), what sort of genre would you classify him as? like im assuming classic rock, but like more blues, folk, prog etc etc? im just wondering.[/QUOTE]I'd say more 70s blues, but he also had acoustic guitar on his albums (traditional Irish tunes as well as originals) and was a fantastic slide player (check out "Souped Up Ford"). Some of his blues were slow but he was pretty high energy for the most part. He also played sax and harmonica (not on every album, though). Check him out, I hope you like him. He was an overlooked guitar great.

my favourite song is probably The Rain Song. its so relaxed and well orchestrated, i think it shows off the best of each of the members.

im listening to this one song...and i hear a beautiful gibson les paul. is that him playing the guitar? its a live in europe song. i like him, i may go out and buy some albums.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]my favourite song is probably The Rain Song. its so relaxed and well orchestrated, i think it shows off the best of each of the members.[/QUOTE]

That was the second Zeppelin song I heard, after Dazed and Confused. Its such a relaxing song. I love it. Houses of the Holy is probably just after II on my favorite Zeppelin albums. But I's good too.

Who are you talking about?

[QUOTE=Schyma000]Who are you talking about?[/QUOTE]Rory Gallagher

i dont really have a favourite, every album has something different to offer. lately i have been listening to Hot Dog from ITTOD, not sure why but i find it very enjoyable...

"i took her love at seventeen, a little late these days it seems" HA! thats some good stuff.
