i would like to see rush, but i dont think i would pay eighty bucks.

i remember the first time i heard rush, i thought the singer was a girl. then i saw a clip of a concert of theirs on tv and it was really dark and bad quality, i still thought he was a girl. and i wasnt sure if geddy was a guys or girls name.

no matter how bad creams playing could be, i would still love their playing. im sure it wont be a bad show though, i wish i could go.

Rush isn't worth $80. Atleast not their music. Maybe their live show is better than their albums.

I paid 87 for Van Halen.

Haha, sucker.

I'd never spend that much on old, burned out, sammy hagar song playing Van Halen unless I won the lottery.

You got jipped.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]You got jipped.[/QUOTE]

Yea I don't really like them either.

So.... is anybody thinking of attending the 2005 world ac/dc tour??

Me! Ac/dc are gods of arena rock I says.

i think i will try to see one, if they are in the area. i've seen a few live clips of them (like at the aids thing) and they are still rockin despite their transition from humans to living fossils. but when you think about it, angus isn't even that old, i mean jethro tull is still touring, and paul mcartney is still active. (same with bb king and that guy is OLD)

so last night i was watching this vh1 thing about moments in hard rock or something like that...it showed clips from when Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for best heavy metal album (or was it metal group?) in 1988. everyone was completely stunned and metallica was all pissed off. i found it so funny when it showed Hammet complaining.

anyone else find it ironic that Jethro Tull, who has produced a lot of folk, as well as some blues rock albums beat out Metallica when it came to metal albums?

im thinking of bringing that up in The Metallica Thread but i dont want too many people mad at me.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]^Yeah, $80 is crazy.

Well, here's a topic. Who do you believe is the most important member of Cream, or your favorite?

I couldn't decide who is my favorite, but I believe Jack Bruce is certainly the most important. He did most the writing, sang, and led the band with his lead bass lines.[/QUOTE]

My favourite member of Cream has to be Clapton (am I predictable or what?). And I don't think that any guitarist could have done what Clapton did. Unlike Hendrix, who was his contemporary, and Page, who is worldy known because of his playing in Zepp, Clapton was more of a perfectionist when it came to live shows. If you listen carefulle, Hendrix and Page were kinda sloppy, while Clapton was a perfectionist, and you can't barely hear a mistake of sloppiness while he's playing.

And you can't ignore the influence Clapton has over other guitarists that came after him

Jack Bruce is very talented. He was one of the first to use the bass as part of the melodic ensamble, instead of just being a backing musical instrument. He's important for being the responsible for most of the band's material, but he didn't have a very good bluesy voice, and I think Clapton is better at singing more traditional blues than Bruce. Still, he has an unique voice, and a unique talent. Bruce was the one who kept it together while the band improviesed on stage.

And Baker, he's one of the best drummers out there. One of the reasons that "Sunshine of Your Love" is so great is because of Baker's drumming.

Whichever way you look at it, Cream wouldn't have been the same without any of the members.

Who had that one website, Xsao or something like that. Does somebody want to give me the site again? I lost the bookmark on it.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]I doubt there is one middle aged person in this thread, hopefully on this website. No, I really dont like new age rock, but then again, I dont know what bands you're specifying.[/QUOTE]
im referring to bands like creed, the darkness, system of a down, staind, disturbed

im not against classic rock but i just see threads like the official iron maiden thread with tons of posts in it, and i just think that the posters must be middle aged people because young people wouldn't listen to them? maybe its just me, but ive never heard any iron maiden music..

i have black sabbath - war pigs and black sabbath - paranoid. i think both of these songs are crap and i guess i just sort of made a generalisation from that about most of those old bands that ive never heard (eg iron maiden)

i dunno

xsao.net

For now on, you shall only refer to that site as "that site" or "the site", for reasons I don't know.

check out my new review.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]check out my new review.[/QUOTE]
It has been checked out :thumb:

On the subject of ticket prices, tickets are gonna be waaaaay more than $80 for Cream. When Fleetwood Mac came to Pittsburgh tickets were over $200. So imagin what a Cream reunion would be.

Clapton isn't anywhere close to the world's best guitarist. But if you've heard his unplugged album you'd know that he's one of the best music-writer type guys.

Umm, I need to build my vocabulary :(

[QUOTE=magicbus]I paid 87 for Van Halen.[/QUOTE]

and i thought i got ripped to see clapton for 60 tisk tisk :lol:

as far as the darkness, i think that they had to have done a song of free bird of stairway sweetness. Course that would never happen :(

[QUOTE=Led Zeppelin4986]and i thought i got ripped to see clapton for 60 tisk tisk :lol:[/QUOTE]
I would pay $60 to see Clapton.

i wouldn't...

i'd pay like $20 to see metallica or ac dc though :P

Has anyone heard of Vietnam? They're a very new band, I think they're only just releasing their first EP soon, if they haven't recently.

I saw them last weekend. They were fantastic - had a really 70's vibe to them.

Obviously not classic rock, per se, but if anyone's going to start some crazy movement that brings it back...

never

[QUOTE=scrowler]never[/QUOTE]
Uh....never what :confused:

You're back! :eek:

a little while back in a european magazine it was talking about a pink floyd reunion...(which i doubt would ever happen because of the disagreements in the band that lead to the break-up) but if there was to be a pink floyd reunion tour..how much would you pay to go see them???
