See that's the same thing with the eagles download requests. Everybody gave me their hits. What are you personal favorite Jefferson Airplane songs? (and maybe eagles songs since all anybody gave me was hotel california and stuff).

Thanks for the avatar badmoon.

About almost famous, it's not a true story but it is based on cameron crowes experiences as a journalist, so it almost is.

I'd also agree that elton john is an bit odd, but i enjoy his music.

p.s someone mentioned bluebird a while ago, I love that song.

Yes I like Elton John a lot. He has a great voice.

Yay Rock And roll is a father now :)

Try to analize this though.

Get a picture of the band Bad Company, download their self titled song, compare it to some songs Jason Lee sings on the movie. And then tell me it's not true.

The band also could be Led Zeppelin, but I only say that because Still Waters drummer uses one of Bohnam's drumset.

^ Here just check this out. I may be wrong, but no one can deany this

Check out Jason Lee (He's the second from the front)

Check out Paul Rodgers

And As I said listen to the one song Stillwater did when Lee was on the Keyboard, and then listen to Bad Company - "Bad Company"

I know, cameron crowe states, stillwater is a mix of bands, he admits this, so you probably are seeing some bad company in there, and i'm sure he said there was some zeppelin in there, i can't remember the others he mentions but i remember seeing aan interview or something about this. I"ll check the details later.

So far we have this.

Singer - Paul Rodgers (Bad Company/Free)

Drummer - John Bonham

So while you guys are having this discusion I have one of my own. This whole time today I was thinking about how "This is Spinal Tap" makes fun of metal bands. So what if they had like the same idea for the movie except it was with jsut like jam bands or classic rock bands, stuff like that. Let's think up of some funny stuff that they could include. Or you guys can just blow this of if it sound mega gay. Oh, did anyone notice my post about Gov't Mule a page or two back. Check it out if you haven't. I'd like to hear your peoples opinions. Peace...

Hey, im back again :)

Havent heard the rolling stones talked about much, i think there pretty good, but not on par with my favourite classic rock artists.

Im curious to what your favourite solos are; maybe just give 3

1. Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd
2. All along the watchtower- Jimi Hendrix
3. Detroit Rock City- Kiss

Best solo? Any live version of Dazed and Confused. I have a couple bootlegs where Pagey goes 15 minutes or more. It's always ridiculously good.

I see all these kids my age wearing Pink Floyd shirts lately but I'm wondering if it is just a style or if they are really into the band? I'm tempted to ask them to name a song other then "Another Brick in the Wall part 2".

Pretty much most stuff from the 60's/70's (some 80's) was great.

Zeppelin (of course), Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Iron Butterfly, Deep Purple, Rush, etc. All excellent and worth many a listen. I could go on but my list would be far too long.

Not classic without Jeff Beck…

i like classic rock
i'm 12
loadsa people like it my age

arrrrg. i cant remember where or when it was. but my all time favourite solo would be Jimmy Page (who else!). in kashmir. it was live CRAP ive totally forgotten

Zeppelin
The Who
Cream
The Beatles
The Byrds
Jimi
All Fantastic Bands And The Darkness Are Nothing Like Any Of These.....the Darkness Are A F***ing Spinal Tap Tribute Band!!!

There Has Never Been A Better Lead Guitarist In Terms Of Solo's Than Jimmy Page Because Although He Used Them All The Time They Had Structure And Timing, He Used Space And Didnt Just Go Off On A Solo Which Was Totally Independant Of The Song As Many Artists Do.....it Always Fitted 110% Perfect

Jimmy had great riffs too, overall he was just a great musician

[QUOTE=B0nz0]ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?[/QUOTE] i have noticed that but there are ppl that say they like real rock but they dont and it pisses me off

PS bands to check out

ZZ top
blue oystur cult
doors
deep purple
cream
jimmi hendrix e.
rush
talkin heads
black crow
and more that i cant think of

We haven't talked about the talking heads much. Maybe it's because they aren't the hard rock type of classic rock. My mom got me "Fear of music" and it's pretty good.

[quote]PS bands to check out[/quote]

lol, after 65 pages on this thread, you'd think he'd have heard of those bands and viola you actually bring in one we havnt talked about heh. Heh, RnR, i think youre right, there too... meh for me.

DVG.

How can you forget Lynyrd Skynyrd <------- Legend !!
But i don't agree about the hype about the beatles, there just a band of soppy arse bandits !!

But i with all the other Bands;
Led Zep
Deep Purple
The Who

We didn't forget about Lynyrd Skynard. We talked about Lynyrd Skynard for like 13 posts a while ago. I suggest you read the entire thread... n00bs... *sigh*

[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]Jethro Tull, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, Husker Du are also all great ones :) but Rush is still my fav.[/QUOTE]
My cousin knows all of Rush personally...they're all friends. :cool:

I'm going to see them on the last stop of their North American tour in Toronto...theres been alot of rumors going around that they are going to playing alot of covers (due to the release of their cover album). I really hope they dont. If I don't hear 2112 there will be hell to pay.

My cousin used to serve Geddy Lee and his family when he had a restaurant in downtown Toronto. He described him as "A nice polite boy. Weird hair though." haha.

Lucky kid^

Rush as some huge talent. I would love to see them in concert.

[QUOTE=Random_Hero_Guy_]My cousin knows all of Rush personally...they're all friends. :cool:[/QUOTE]

My dad was the co-manager back when they wouldn't sell for a dime(pre-peart), and my friend is related to neil peart.

[quote]But i don't agree about the hype about the beatles, there just a band of soppy arse bandits !![/quote]

Just TRY to make songs as catchy as the beatles.

DVG.

You think people would have the courtesy to read 66 pages of this. GEEZ!

(well i did actually :( )

Can you guys reccomend some songs by rush? I haven't heard much of there stuff, but they sound pretty good.

[QUOTE=DVG]Just TRY to make songs as catchy as the beatles.

DVG.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. No band today has delightful british voices and makes catchy songs like the beatles ;)

Depends what you're into.

Their earlier stuff ("Rush" and "Caress of Steel") sounds very similar to Led Zeppelin. Although they had a different drummer at the time, it's still quality all around. "Fly by night" got a little softer.

Their prog-rock phase ("2112" and "A Farewell to Kings" most notably) is nothing short of spectacular. Geddy Lee's rolling basslines, Neil Pearts frantic, spot-on drumming, and Alex Lifeson's diverse compositions are some of the best music you'll hear from that time period. Their songs had especially amazing structure.

Their 80's period was very synthsizer heavy..."Signals" and "Moving Pictures" were the two best albums from this time.

If you want their most popular or better tracks...try:

Lakeside Park (its about the EX in Toronto...they're hometown boys to me! It's weird to know exactly what they mean.)
In The Mood
Bastille Day
2112 (The full 20 minute track, its an epic story)
The entire farewell to kings album
The Spirit of Radio
Tom Sawyer
YYZ
Limelight
Subdivisions
New World Man
The Analog Kid
Distant Early Warning
The Big Money
Earthshine

Those were all song titles except for the whole farewell to kings album. Can't pick one song, it was so well done. Stick with anything they did before 1983 and your in for one great listen.

Get any thing off the album "A Farewell To Kings." That album got me into rush.
