sorry to interrupt, but I have a quick question. Is the Queen with Paul Rodgers tour just in the UK or does it come the the US? *sorry if this has already been discussed*

Do they have Yardbirds on the site?

I left my cds at school.

All of them?

There have been rumors that there won't be a U.S. tour, but nothing has been confirmed yet.


And I don't think the Yardbirds are on the site.

thanks

Yeah, my whole case is in my locker.

how many rep points do you need for a star?

you need a 1000 rep for 3 stars(the min) and if I understood correct you also have to pay

MYR has been repped. You already have the join date and post count covered, so now you just need 1000 rep. I think I gave you about 31.

EDIT: There's no pay involved. I don't think..

Do you guys listen to Robin Trower? (attempt at conversation started)

I see... and do they accept pesos??

now [I]I[/I] want stars

That probably won't happen. We need to get back on topic, this isn't the "rep" thread.

What do you guys think of Yes? We haven't discussed them in a while. I think they're a great prog rock band, and the members are all very talented.

Any thoughts? How bout favorite cds?

Great band. Very talented and very creative. I have Fragile and The Yes Album and both of those are great.

They are quite good

Yes is great. I really love [I]Close to the Edge [/I] and [I]Fragile[/I]

Chris Squire is amazing and Steve Howe is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Listen to the solo for Starship Trooper - AMAZING
A guitar solo piece called The Clap (misleading title - great song)

Yea Steve Howe is amazing. I love him style of playing. Close To The Edge and Fragile are the two I have now. I love Close To The Edge. Great cd.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]i've heard neil young referred to as the Godfather of Grunge before..at first i didn't really understand it, but i suppoes it makes sense. what do you guys think?[/QUOTE]


yeh that's true - he was one of the first "real" grunge artists. He fused together folk, rock & elements of country/rockabilly.

You can't really classify Young in a genre group, and that's what makes him so grungy.

I think it's just because his electric playing is sloppy and distorted.

chris squire is what stands out to me about yes. some great bass songs are tempus fugit, soundchaser, and of course roundabout. my personal favorite overall song is heart of the sunrise (which also includes a blistering bass performance). yes, however, take a backseat to king crimson for my favorite prog group. king crimson anyone?

[QUOTE=rock not roll]I think it's just because his electric playing is sloppy and distorted.[/QUOTE]

very true. his vocals were kinda grungy too, i am never quite sure if he's singing in tune or not, although he usually sang much higher than the grunge bands of the ninetys.

edit- and i know barely anything about Yes, except for a few songs. i'm gonna go check my record collection and see if i have any of their albums, maybe i just missed one.

edit edit- no, no Yes records. although i did leave my amp on all night while at work...woopsies. :upset:

I'll send you some songs if you want. I have Fragile and Close To The Edge on my computer.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I'll send you some songs if you want. I have Fragile and Close To The Edge on my computer.[/QUOTE]

if that's directed towards me...i can just download some songs, which ones would be good to get a good taste of what Yes is all about? What's their best album to buy? I don't have AIM and my MSN isn't working, so sending songs are difficult.

I've heard the song thats like "I've seen all good people turn their heads.." and I enjoyed it. Actually, I just found out that was Yes like a month ago.

[QUOTE]If you think about it, Elvis was really the one that made black music accesible for white people. He's more of a theif than Jimmy Page.[/QUOTE]

Elvis is not a theif nor was he the first man to make White people like Black music. I believe the first Jazz album was created by a White band.

As far as Rock n Roll goes, Whites did not steal it from Black people. Rock music is actually pretty equal between both races.

Rock n Roll = White Melodies (Country) + Black Rhythm (Blues)

Elvis combined those two elements.

Also, if you trace music back far enough, you'd be amazed how much White Folk music influenced Blues.

Ah, who cares? Just imagine all the people, living life in peace!

Once again nobody mentions Rory Gallagher, who is easily as good as Hendrix, Clapton, Page etc. etc.

we've talked about Rory Gallagher before, unless you are talking about the whole discussion about stealing music. We've talked about his music and guitar playing , he's pretty good.

I think a lot time ago the laws about "stealing" music weren't nearly as strict. That's why folk, jazz, and blues artists often did covers of songs, and recieved all the credit. It wasn't really until Rock music started, that the legal aspects of coprights and stuff came into play. That's why everyone came down so hard on Zeppelin, they were doing exactly what all the blues and folk guys were doing, except that they were a mainstream band so it was a huge uproar. if they did that twenty years earlier, no one would have cared or noticed.

Bleh, most punk, hard rock, metal and rap steal stuff constantly without judgement.

And put it in a slightly different key, that's how they get away with it.

I don't own any Yes albums, but I'd like to own The Yes Album.

whoa, weird
