[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]I was at my friends brothers gig once in a relatively empty bar and some guy (i think one of their not-so-close friends) kept yelling "PLAY FREEBIRD!" and they eventually just said "Ya know what dude!? First of all, were never gonna play freebird. Second of all, Well never consider even listening to freebird, and third of all, We dont even like like freebird, so shut the hell up!"

It was hilorious. I vowed to myself to learn the guitar solo by the end of next year so just incase somebody ever does yell that...me and my band will play and just shut em up.

We got a neighborhood band in our development that play freebird for us everytime they play, but they totally innovate the solo. ITs about 15 minutes of loud guitar soloing, running around in the crowd...buncha drunks.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

Freebird really is a crappy song. When i'm listening to Skynyrd I just skip over it.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]:lol:

well it was one of their more popular ones

I dont like listening to it because it kills the song and the solo. i personally think its one of the best songs made, but i listen to it the least. Thats like listening to eruption 10 times a day, every day because its the 'greatest guitar solo ever'...but any song can get old, except DSOTM for me.

Yea, I'm not a big fan of Freebird.

Freebird is to Skynyrd as Stairway is to Zeppelin.

I like stairway to heaven :thumb:

I think every great band has that 1 HUGE song

Zep-Stairway
Skynyrd-Freebird
Aerosmith-Dream On
Jimi Hendrix-Purple Haze
Chili Peppers-Under the bridge
Floyd-Comfotably numb

and so on...i wont continue becaue itll probably cause alot of contraversy, but you get the picture

[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]I think every great band has that 1 HUGE song

Both those artists had many good songs.

All 3 of Hendrix's Experience albums were amazing and groundbreaking and still brilliant today. Pink Floyd have released some of the best albums of all time with amazing songs.

But heres a question on that one great song by bands...

Is it the band that makes the song good enough to define them...

Or does the song good enough to define the band?

What do you think?

All of those artists had lots of huge songs actually.

Jimi Hendrix's biggest song was All Along The Watchtower by the way ;).

It depends on the band. If it is a great classic band (like most classic rock bands) then it is likely that they make the song good enough to define them.

But, with lesser bands and their 1 hit wonders, then I believe the second statement, that the song defines the band.

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]well it was one of their more popular ones[/QUOTE]

I knows.

But it really is a crappy song, why people like it I have no clue. Give me "Sweet Home Alabama", "Swamp Music", "Gimme 3 Steps" and "Truck Drivin' Man" over Freebird.

People who request it suck.

Okay...

JPJ don't touch any Deep End. I'm not doing North Mississipp Allstars, but will some other time.

I'm doing.......

What if they just request it to hear it for the first time? I've done that with numerous songs.

Then they should go download it. Radio stations and people playing concerts don't need their ****.

What you do is fine though. Just not if it's a band's most popular song such as Freebird.

Super :). Man, Widespread Panic is good :D

Anyone got any [b]favourite Black Sabbath songs?[/b]

[u]My favourites[/u] (not in order):

Paranoid
Iron Man
Changes

The Wizard and War Pigs.

Paranoid and War Pigs

So far War Pigs is the favorite ;). That's an awesome song.

N.I.B. is my favorite Sabbath song.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]So far War Pigs is the favorite ;). That's an awesome song.[/QUOTE]

I like Changes
 

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]"Changes"? Are you kiddin' me? That song sucked.

Well I like it.

And you can never take that away from me. :thumb:

I know.

I think it blows to high hell, though.

Differing Musical Tastes
 

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]I know.

Everyone has different musical tastes, remember. That's what makes us unique.

And because of that is why there is such a great thread here where we can meet up and discuss our favourite music!

Keep an open mind and remember everyone's different! :thumb:

im 12 and all i listen 2 is ac/dc van halen u know stuff like that

Don't patronize me, as[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]hole.

EDIT: To the guy who's telling me to "keep an open mind", which is basically saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all", which is inherently stupid. If I don't like something, I'm going to say it. I'm not trying to "change" anybody, and anybody who thinks I am is stupid, I'm afraid to say.

[QUOTE]Are you gonna do them?[/QUOTE]

Most likely...in time.

You can have Dose and the others. Unless you really want Deep End vol. 1, then you can have it.

[QUOTE=eddierulesVH]im 12 and all i listen 2 is ac/dc van halen u know stuff like that[/QUOTE]


Fantastic! Another one joins our army of Classic rock fans! keep it up listening to the good music!

[quote=Disconnection Notice]Don't patronize me, *******.[/quote]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to seem like that.

So I see.

So what does everyone think the new [b]Who[/b] songs: [i]Real Good Looking Boy[/i] and [i]Old Red Wine[/i]?

I don't like them as much as the old stuff but they're still fairly good.

Haven't heard 'em.

Is there a website where I can listen to them?

ive always liked classic rock but it really became a part of my life one day when i was hangin out with my friend at like 4:00-6:00 in the morning and saw a infomercial for a cd called the legends of rock and it was hosted by roger daltery(the who; if you didnt know that thats sad)and it was a 9 disc set with classic rock songs.

I don't buy compalations but that looks pretty good.

If Rodger Daltry approves (or atleast is getting paid to approve) it must be good!

I like Electric Funeral, War Pigs, Sweet Leaf, Paranoid, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
