Yea well the story behind my comment was I played my new Bob Dylan cd (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan) for my friends, and when they heard Blowing in the Wind and they said who is singing this crap. All I could think was how could anybody even think this is crap, this is the best anti war song I've ever heard.

Great job but I have to spread first. ;)

My subtitle has lyrics from the song "The American Metap. Circus"

I love that album.

It is quite funny how in some songs Bob Dylan sounds like a really old man, despite being in his early twenties. He just has that voice.

I really like Dont Think Twice, It's Alright.

He sounds really old on Time out of Mind and Love and Theft. It always evokes the image of a dying Johnny Cash, for some reason.

My favorite song off the cd is Masters of War and Blowin in the Wind. You know before I had trouble saying who my favorite song writer is, but now the quistion is easily answeared.

I think "Its Alright Ma" is the greatest lyrical epic of all time.

"Visions of Johanna" is also great and "Chimes of Freedom" is underated.

I like Ballad of a Thin Man





Everything is Broken is also good.

i tell you who i've personally never seen here a lot, and thats Kiss. What does everybody think about Gene simmo's band? has anyone seen the movie?

That is because Kiss are not Classic Rock.

Hey guys.

[QUOTE=Schyma]That is because Kiss are not Classic Rock.[/QUOTE]
I thought about mentioning that...but no one else was and I got unsure :upset:

If its from the 60s and 70s, and it ain't good, we don't call it classic, we call it old fermaldehyde.

Tr00f and Ill rep you tomorrow for I have that 24 hour thing going. Nice to see you pop in here Zep and Good night. :wave:

Can you guys please list me the reasons why classic rock is better than new rock?

I need to convince my friends and i'm having trouble explaining it...
Thanks :thumb:

Well here's one. Talent was involved back in the day...Of course there are exceptions but on the whole this is true.

It's more creative and original, take prog rock for example..bands such as Yes, an original sound you seldom find anywhere else. Contemporary bands are just trying to re-create what has already been done, just with less musical virtuosity.

I know I'm chiming in late, just got home, but "oh sister" is the kind of song that hits you were it hurts and keeps on poundin'

That's a good album. My second favorite Byrds album.

And Kiss are a Classic Rock band. I don't care if you don't like them, most do and they have what they need to be a Classic Rock band.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station
Grateful Dead - Samson & Delilah

"Samson & Delilah" is a first testament story. It is a traditional song, but I really like the Dead's version. Rev. Gary Davis also does a fine job at it.

"Terrapin Station" deals with Christian mythology, but also various ancient beliefs. It is based upon the belief that the world sits ontop of a terrapin's (turtle) back. On the top is Heaven, the middle is Earth, and the bottom is Hell.

That is if you are looking for anything other than the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology.[/QUOTE]

Alright thanks. :thumb:

And I'm almost positive its a sitar on the intro to Paint It Black, which is why the intro rules so much.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Alright thanks. :thumb:

I think it is too, either that, or Keith got a REALLY nice sound out somehow.

Why wouldn't they be glam rock?

I always thought it was Brian playing on that Vox Phantom...

@zepfan2k3: A band can fall in more than one genre.

I think glam rock is way more fitting to their sound though...

Encantadas was the basis for Moby in Moby Dick, instead Encantadas deals with a tortoise, the shell is black- evil; the belly is white- good; and the fact that the tortoise's shell can only be seen as one color at a time.

Good ****. "Visions of Johanna" is good **** too.

I think I'm going to agree with you. I believe it's got fifteen verses packed into a six minute song. I actually used those lyrics for an English project on Monday where we broke down lyrics and went into detail about them and different writing techniques etc.

I want nothing more in life than to be able to write songs like Bob Dylan.

[QUOTE=zeppelinfan2k3]Why wouldn't they be glam rock?[/QUOTE]

Well, David Bowie, Queen, T Rex, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, and various others can be considered Glam Rock. Dare you say they are not Classic Rock?

[QUOTE]I think glam rock is way more fitting to their sound though...[/QUOTE]

But Glam Rock really doesn't have a definitive sound. It is based upon appearance, and possibly attitude.

Pfft, Queen is sooo glam rock...
/lie

I think Kiss was still more about the glam than any of those bands listed. Granted I only know of half the ones you listed, but, I wouldn't class Kiss the same as the ones I do.

TO your ninja edit:
I know, sound is a bad word to have used, my bad. I meant...attitude I guess.

More Glam than T Rex? Marc Bolan is the king of Glam.

KISS was probably the first hair metal band. Hair metal took the music of a watered-down Led Zeppelin and added the "glam" image.

T Rex defines Glam Rock. In my opinion.

I wouldn't really say KISS was entirely glam rock, but I understand why they would be considered glam rock.

BUt those are the ones I don't know :(

so how would you diffine this "glam"

It annoys me how kids who have never heard of anything by Kiss seems to have a hatred for them. I love them.
