I think Phil Lesh has some pretty good grooves.

[QUOTE=Livewired]I think Phil Lesh has some pretty good grooves.[/QUOTE]

yeah, but compared to the allman brothers, who showed more talent

[QUOTE=Freddie9]I really am a fan of the Dead, but compared to other bands, Phil Lesh & Bob Weir are a little weak when it comes to playing skill[/QUOTE]

In their heyday Bobweirser was one fine guitar player, and Phil Lesh was an amazing bassist, but do you realize how many drugs those two probably have done, it has to slow down your skills a bit.

Once again, not to be repetive, I still wouldn't say that. Personally, I think it's debatable that Duane was better than Jerry. Personally (I've heard them solo side by side) I'd call it practically even. Phil Lesg is surely a better bassist than Berry Oakley. Each band's singer aren't technically great, Kreutzmann and Hart were much more risky on the drums than Jaimoe and Trucks. I will say that Dickey Betts is a better guitarist than Bob Weir. As for the keyboardists, The Grateful Dead have had some more talented than Gregg, and some most certainly not.

/ALL OPINION!!!!

Phil Lesh is looked upon as one of the greatest bassists ever. His style was at one time arguably one of a kind, and his musical knowledge is incredibly great. Not a bad voice either.

[QUOTE=pjdeadhead34]Yea buddy, im in high school, and i've been to the dead 3 times, phish once, allman brothers, ccr, fogerty, there's nothing like listening to some classic rock hammered. Classic rock is definitely making a come back, now today's musicians need to start playing it again, and not that trash that is on the radio these days. There's only a few good bands left these days now that Phish is broken up, even though they will definitely come back someday.[/QUOTE]

I forgot frampton and crosby, stills, and nash

I agree with you all...but what about:
-The Small Faces
-The Velvet Underground (and Nico)
-Lynyrd Skynrd
and...
-Bob Dylan?

Small Faces...not mentioned. Good call :thumb:

And don't fool around with the all too common "You have too much time on your hands" statement. You aswell as us, are on an internet forum talking to random people we have never met. We are all wasting our time, and could be doing better things.[/QUOTE]
Actually you have no idea...I've just needed to place to talk about classic rock..to vent about it..but most people here just kiss your *** and take everything you say like a religion. And try comparing my 130 posts to you 10,000+ including lengthy Cd reviews and stuff. I'm not your average person wasting time on the net. But I've come to the assumption that everyone on forums like these think they are all know-it-alls and pricks who will argue with the door if it slams behind them.

Can we consider Phish classic rock? I've always wondered that

No, they are not. Gov't Mule is one of the only Jam Bands you can.

Shouldn't be too worried with classification anyways.

I missed their show when they came around here this year, sold out, Warren is amazing, i saw him with the Dead at least, and Allman Brothers, what's the young slid guitarist in the ABB, Derek Flakes maybe?? That kid can play

You my friend, need to listen to some Blue Sky, take a deep breath, and calm down, same with badmoon though, isn't that what classic rock is about, no war, peace!!!!

Seconded. (Kill assist)

Do you guys like Robin Trower?

:lol: Power, ha, have you seen how many fights I get into? I have been the victim of many attacks from every regular here. But after time, I am forgiven. Which makes sense, I do give songs, rep points, albums, ect, to them whenever I can, and even appologize.

But what can I say, I'm superior :rolleyes:

:confused:

Seriously let's all just listen to some good tunes and dig the music.

Err, no spamming the thread please.


Jam bands that are considered rock: The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule.

I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that i've heard of.

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]Seriously let's all just listen to some good tunes and dig the music.[/QUOTE]


Exactly, we're talking about happy music, mostly, so let's all be happy,

Little Feat, but they are more of a large influence on the 1st official wave of Jam bands (Phish, Panic, ect).

String Cheese Incident
moe.

So, who likes Australian '70s rock?

*glares*

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]So, who likes Australian '70s rock?

/glares
AC/DC is good

Yes, but I am talking stuff like Galadriel, Hunters And Collectors, Split Enz, INXS... you know.

Ac/dc is the only band I know :(. What are other 70s australian bands?

edit: oh

[QUOTE=Freddie9]String Cheese Incident
moe.[/QUOTE]

They're not Classic Rock though. Especially String Cheese, they're Prog-Bluegrass with some Funk-Lation :p. And moe., is just different. :)

What does everybody think of Pearl Jam, they get overlooked alot, they are better than Nirvana by far.

Ease up.

Pearljam isn't classic rock. We don't talk about them here. However you can make a thread for them.

Eddy Vedder with the Who = good.

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]Eddy Vedder with the Who = good.[/QUOTE]

Indeed :thumb:

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Indeed :thumb:[/QUOTE]
Have you heard the live at the royal albert hall Album with him on it then?

Yeah, their album "[COLOR=Sienna]Ogden's Nut Gone Flake[/COLOR]" [Small Faces] has a pretty kickass title track, not to mention overall, style and technique...[COLOR=Red]in my opinion[/COLOR], Small Faces are one of the better Mod-pop bands to come out of the UK.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALSO, I was wondering what anyone thinks of Tom Waits' aproach to music...I think his fusion of 40's [COLOR=DarkOrchid]lounge jazz[/COLOR] with rock-esque elements in fascinating. If you havent heard of him, definitely try his stuff out :thumb: :naughty:

strange... I thought they were??

I've been considering the grunge bands as classic rock, but now that I think about it, they're obviously not.

who likes the doors?
