I wish I was born in 1949. I could have been young enough to party in the 60's, old enough to do some major coke and do some disco in the 70's, then be burnt out and depressed in the 80's.

Wouldn't you rather try to change music and make a name for yourself now, then be an old guy who possibly made a mark in the 60's.


LIVE IN THE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the now sucks :(

There was so much more free drugs and sex in the 60's. Better music. Better clothes. Longer hair. Woodstock.

We have had some great music in the 90s and there is some good current music. Classic rock bands are still coming out with albums, just they aren't so hyped.

We have Classic sounding artists. Like Gov't Mule. And you just have to look at some of the Jam Bands or underground bands, or even grunge and alt.

Because they usually aren't on par with previous stuff. I know that we have good stuff today...but man...just imagine to live that 60's vibe, would have been awesome.

OH MAN I just remembered something...I think its badmoon whos the Grateful Dead fan. Check this out: I'm listening to my local classic rock station yesterday (Q107.1) in Toronto, and they have this major announcement. Apparently, back in the day, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin (!) toured Canada on a train. From Toronto, to Calgary, then back up to Winnipeg, or something like that. Well, apparently, as you might expect, there was lots of drugs, music, and other...things...going on. Apparently, there was also a video camera present. Up until now, the tapes have been locked away by somebody because they may have some stuff on there thats..umm...incriminating. It's not like they hid their drug use, but who knows whats on there. So Q107 has supposedly "aquired" these tapes and is having a private screening but you have to win tickets.

I tried last night but didn't get em :(

:) Cool :)

They'll probably eventually be released.

classicrock comeback
 

I definately hear ya on the classic rock coming back thing, i mean just for an example: the film school of rock. After watching that any person has the erge to go whack on some led zepplin or ac/dc (for those about to rock).
theres no better music than the greats of classic rock. im only 16 and i no what ur saying, most of my music collection consists of queen, led zepplin, pink floid, ac/dc, much of the 80s rock (not quite punk tho), and random songs that were all written during or before the early 80s.
personaly im luvin ths "re-rise" of classic and prog-rock so if i may say a few words...................................
Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to recieve
We are the dealers
We'll give you everything you need
Hail hail to the good times
'Cause rock has got to ride away
We ain't no legend, ain't no cause
We're just living for today

For those about to rock, we salute you!!!

ha, too much of the *smoke* woooooooow, eh???

[QUOTE=rock not roll]:amaze: in Calgary we have Q107.3. Best radio station i've heard in my short life :)[/QUOTE]

I wanna take a trip out there man...my good friend has family there. His cousin used to be some head bouncer or something @ Cowboys (which supposedly sucks now).

I just want to go party, and I heard Calgary is a good place to do it.

Yep. Cowboys=teh gay. Lots of other rock/country music type clubs. The people like to drink, partying and drinking goes way up when

1. Nickelback comes cause they need money.
2. A good band comes.
3. the flames make the playoffs.
4. Stampede!!!!! :chug:

Calgary=party city (sort of).

Flames...heh.

I have to say even though I'm a loyal leaf fan (and Canadian), I wanted to see Dave Andreychuk get that cup. You guys put up a good fight though.

Man I hate being gone for awhile. Missed all the conversations. On that note:

I like David Bowie.
No Quarter is a cool song.
I have a Jim Morrison shirt that has the "American Poet" deal on it.
Living in the now is alright.

Hopefully that covers it.

What are your thoughts on Calgary? That's the most recent conversation even though it has little to do with classic rock.

If there are so many people out there that like such ****ing good music,
why do all the radio stations play a bunch of **** ****ed up bull****? I havent seen a good band come out since at least the 90's, and i miss a lotta old ****. what the **** is happenin?

heh.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I like David Bowie.[/QUOTE]

It's a shame he had that heart problem so he had to cancel the rest of his tour. Luckily I saw him before it happened, and he was amazing. (Even from the nosebleeds ;) )

[QUOTE=BillCosby]It's a shame he had that heart problem so he had to cancel the rest of his tour. Luckily I saw him before it happened, and he was amazing. (Even from the nosebleeds ;) )[/QUOTE]

Yea it does suck, hope he gets better.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]What are your thoughts on Calgary? That's the most recent conversation even though it has little to do with classic rock.[/QUOTE]

I don't like them because the wings lost to em and i'm from Detroit, but other than that i don't mind them.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I don't like them because the wings lost to em and i'm from Detroit, but other than that i don't mind them.[/QUOTE]

Well I don't like Detroit b/c two years in a row you've made me lose money due to premature exits in the playoffs. :D

But back to classic rock...

Some friends of mine and I were discussing what Jimi Hendrix would be doing these days had he not choked on his own vomit.

My opinion was he'd have done some psychedelic rock/electronic stuff in the 80's, but totally gone back to straight blues in the 90's.

May be a stupid discussion, but what do you think?

[QUOTE]Some friends of mine and I were discussing what Jimi Hendrix would be doing these days had he not choked on his own vomit. [/QUOTE]

He'd be dead. Can you actually imagine someone with a death wish like him stop using drugs?

Hrmm.

/me tries to think of famous junkies who aren't dead.

/me keeps thinking.

It's possible he could have lived...Keith Richards is still alive.

It's possible, but hey it didn't happen. I always wonder what he would do next, but i wonder more about the doors than anyone else.

^^^

very true lol.

Ive been listening to nothing but Jethro Tull for about 3 days now, what albums do you all like by them? i prefer their folky tunes like off of "songs from the wood" "heavy horses" and "stormwatch"....also "a minstrel in the gallery", i have all their albums and enjoy each one in a differnet way just the 70's were really the highlight for them including "stand up" and "warchild". what are your opinions on the band and songs?

Jimi Hendrix went to my highschool :amaze:

^They're incredibly unique. But, I only have [I]Aqualung[/I]and I love that. So, I'll try to check out the other albums :)

Hey everybody, it's the glorius return of me. YAY!!! I don't know if you noticed but I've been gone for about 2-3 weeks because of my "awesome" computrer which crashed. **** thing took a ****ing century to fix. ANyway thought, I'm back and let's let the good times roll. Oh, moon I see you reviewd [I]Undermind[/I]. I bought the album finaly but I guess it's too late now :upset: Well, I gotta go catch up on some posting.

I'll see you around the bend...

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^They're incredibly unique. But, I only have [I]Aqualung[/I]and I love that. So, I'll try to check out the other albums :)[/QUOTE]

myself, along with many other diehard Tull fans, aggree that "aqualung" is a misleding album. everyone gets it and its not the best description of the bands sound. Even Ian's solo albums (secret language or birds and rupi's dance) are alot better! hehe. Its thier biggest hit album, but we all know that dosent mean its their greatest. if you got any Tull ?'s lemme know!!

I got [I]Benefit[/I], [I]This Was[/I], [I]Aqualung[/I], and [I]Thick As A Brick[/I]. In my book they all get a 5/5. I don't think I'm really a die-hard fan but I still like Tull a lot. I agree that Aqualung doesnt really show the true side of the band. IMO it's stil good though. My favorite album is [I]This Was[/I]. I think it shows the band at it's best working with the blues. Mick Abrahams does an awesome job playing guitar and writing and that gives me another reason to love this album. Well, that's my $.02

I only own Aqualung but I've heard War child, Thick as a brick and a few songs from other albums. They're an amazing band. (yay voodoo's back)

Classic rock is my favorite genre of rock. My favorite bands of that genre are The Doobie Brothers, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd(the classic rock radio station in St. Louis calls them classic rock, so thats why I included them), Jimi Hendrix, Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band, The Beatles, The Eagles, the list could go on for hours so I'll stop here.

Welcome back Voodoo :wave:

Sorry about the review, but it was either you or I do it, or some other unkown n00b would have. Cause I saw discussion on it.

The kids in my school don't seem to like Classic Rock :upset:
In my class the boys listen to rap or Children of Bodom :P

Meh favorite Classic Rock bands in no particular order:

AC/DC
Guns N' Roses
Led Zeppelin
Queen

I'm convinced that Keith Richards was dead 20 years ago and that somebody is just animating his corpse.

[QUOTE=Riovanne]I'm convinced that Keith Richards was dead 20 years ago and that somebody is just animating his corpse.[/QUOTE]
he looks dead.

The only things left after world war three will be lawyers, cockroaches, and Keith Richards.

yet another great summer concert experience for me....

tonight (from 5-11) I'll be seeing, David Clayton Thomas with blood sweat and tears, randy bachman, lighthouse and voodoo lounge. Tommorow i'll be seeing alice cooper, foghat, edgar winter and helix. and saturday I see april wine, john kay and steppenwolf, honeymoon suite and goddo. :thumb::chug:

Goddo! Holy smokes...:lol:

He played a bar not five minutes from my house last year...but I had to work.

Edgar Winter should be cool, but I prefer Johnny Winter (his brother) he had some nice bluesy stuff.

Lots of Canadians there :D

Yes, classic rock is becoming more popular anongst teenagers these days. Not all of them but at least a minority of us are classic rockers. Like I'm 15 and there's nothing else I listen to. Teenagers these days are not familiar with one of the greatest rock and rool guitarists ever though, Jeff Beck.
