Canned Heat and Santana were the best acts at Woodstock.

Was that to Unstable Mind?

edit:Nice ninja delete there rock:p

[QUOTE=Livewired]I read that in my Jim Morrison biography.

On the Road Again is probably their most famous song. Alan Wilson (guitar/harmonica) sings that song. Also Henry Vestine from The Mothers of Invention is in Canned Heat. They also have an album with John Lee Hooker.[/QUOTE]
Which one you read?

I thought Joe McDonald was the greatest.

Definitly those two. But CSN were up there too.

You're making me look less ultimate power'd :angry:

Hendrix rocked Woodstock too.

Of course, but he's the obvious.

Joe McDonald, Santana, Canned Heat and Joe Cocker were my favorites. The Who didn't do so well. :(

The Stephen Davis one.

[QUOTE=Livewired]The Stephen Davis one.[/QUOTE]
Me too he does a really good job. Thats the best one Ive read but he put down Jerry Hopkins...which is bad. :upset:

When does he do this?

The Stephen Davis one is the best definitely. I've read a couple, but that is the only one I end up referring to. It provides anything you would need to know about Jim Morrisons life (and death).

He also wrote Hammer of the Gods, which was the big Zeppelin biography. Has anyone read that? I've spent a lot of time reading Zeppelin biographys on the net, I am thinking of buying the book just so I have actual proof I'm not making facts up.

Several times though out the book he trashes Jerry's bio which I thought was more detailed and exciting.

Lunch has read it I believe. I'm looking into it aswell. He also wrote one on Bob Marley too.

I haven't read it so I wouldn't know.

Edit-The Jerry Hopkins bio

I think he did Neil Young not sure though.

I think being a biographer would be an awesome job...I practically study musicians lives as it is, I might as well get paid for it.

Does anyone here think they could actually write a good biography on someone famous? (and have it sell copies?) I could probably write a biography on a couple bands, although it would basically just be facts I've taken from other sites/books/tv. I could imagine Badmoon writing a Grateful Dead biography.

This man seems to know a lot about rock history

edit: I'm referring to Stephen Davis

I found it cool that Jim loved Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and especially Down by the River.

I thought it was cool how he said Led Zeppellin was "the death of Rock". :lol:

If you think about they kinda were the death of rock because after Zep disbanded rock music just kinda lost its quality,and became crappy with the occasional exception

Thank You. :D

I rep for that kind of reply. :thumb:

that is completely not true
there were tons of good bands in the 80's and later 70's

True but Stephen said as soon as they came into the scence rock was dead.

Hail our lord!

Agreed 100%, my lord.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]that is completely not true

OMFG IT'S B0NZ0!!! :eek:

Yea, like Rush...ummm...I know there were others I just can't think.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]that is completely not true

I'm not sure, there aren't that many in my opinion but like Johnny B. Good said there were a few exceptions except I think there were a bit more then a few.

/looks at RCHP, Van Halen and Jam Bands especially

Edit-Rush too!

I meant in general that it slowly decreased in quality and Zep didn't disband until the 80's so I didn't insult the 70's, I also mentioned that there were exceptions too.
