That we need some rock and roll like back in the 1970's back in nowadays they don't play anywhere as good of music like they do back then. I miss it and wish bands would play like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and many more. I have matched many dvd's on those bands live and the experience seemed awesome and I think music would benefit from original rock and roll returning not all the mainstream being rap and pop. I think that metalish like rock like I guess the term "hard rock" would be the turm that I wish back to being made I like Stone Temple Pilots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, and Smashing Pumpkins those bands exhibit the old style of rock that we need more adays. So who else out there believes we need old style rock and roll music back to now a days? Tell me what you think. Thanks! -Yours Truely Billy Bong From the middle of the blunt to the tip of your *unt baby!
dude the chillis are not old style, they are a style of theyre own, and they never leave that style so theyre pretty boring now. and linkin park? wtf man that shit is like the opposite to the movement of beinging back good old rock. zep, floyd, jimi, that stuff is called progressive rock, and i dont think will ever be matched. Same with the old great music of David Bowie, or other 70's/80's rock like deep purple and acadaca, and more awesome prog rock like rainbow and Rush. ithink though, that the best place to go now is to find new music. we cant go back, all we can do is steer music in a good direction, away from all this dance/techno/pop/nu-metal/hardcore/hip hop/rnb/rap shit thats around today. or at least advance these further and jsut see where they go instead of dwelling in their suckness. music today seems to be all about style or attitude or angst, and no longer about strong emotion, love, experience, and effort that the good old music used to be about. hell, rap and stuff of the 80's was heaps better than ti is now, because it was all true, and poetyic and from teh heart, despite how lame it looks now, and punk was about the real battlers in life and the real anarchists, sung by poor poeple and everyhting, but now, everyhting is about money, superficiality, and bulshit image, and thats where the problem mainly lies. great music went against the society's bounds. the beatles got the world to open up, linkin park makes the world sink into its own suidical filth. music is becoming so unimaginative it makes me cry. not really though.
Linkin park is probably the least like the older rock out of that list. It isnt even near that. I use like them, then I kind of started to realise their music sucks. I actually know of a band that plays some fairly decent music very similar to older rock. www.blackrabbits.com is their website if anyones interested. I just think its that these bands which are similar to the older rock arent getting signed because there isnt much profit in them at this point because the mainstream wants different types of music. I notice that music today doesnt have a point like it use to. Everything is about things they have never expierenced. They just write songs. Older rock use to make you think, anymore they just put the point straight forward right at you and usually what theyre singing about doesnt relate to everyone or isnt even true. I find most of the songs sung today that become popular are about a girl losing a guy or a guy losing a girl. I think that some songs with this idea are great, but they seem to be missing somthing from the older songs like "hello i love you" by the doors or any similar songs from that time period.
There is no "old style of rock". Are you saying Chicago sounds like Jefferson Airplane. Does Bob Dylan really sound like Santana? No. What we need is less close-minded morons. Have a nice day . EDIT: Phish you dumb fuck. And again have a nice day .
i agree with peace...(altough i'll take it one step further) the new stuff today needs to be stop being labeled. when i was younger all i like was older music. personally it was really good to me at the time and still was....so for awhile all i would listen to was classic rock and i thought all the new stuff was just boring crap just because it doesnt have awsome guitar leads or because it wasn't as slow or as intriquing as the beatles. Then i relized that if you listen enough to one peticular type of music you can really become accostomed to it. So from there i started branching out and i have a wide range of musical influences. besides if new bands today would copy old bands from the past or even try to remotly be like them it wouldnt be any fun anymore...in fact that would be the exact time when rock n roll (rock) dies because it would keep copying itself which is bulllshit... i think rock isn't really gonna die it's just gonna go through diffrent phases....untill it becomes somthing totally new... so like bob dylan says..."so don't fear when you hear a foriegn sound to your ear"- it's alright ma
Oh yes, we most certainly need more vapid "retro" bands without an ounce of originality to bring the cliches of rock & roll music back to life. Because after all, shag hairdos and designer retro garb is what it's all about.
What? Since when did Jimi Hendrix play progressive rock? Last I checked he played psychedelic rock. Same goes for Led Zeppelin; they are not a progressive rock band. Get your facts straight, man.
I would like it if more bands today were more fun to listen to, and make you want to explode with happiness the minute you hear them. Also I am a fan of big, rock-star hair. No matter how lame, I shall love it until I grow up, which most likely will be never, so I guess I'll love it forever and ever. If rock and roll has become this, really, well we can't turn back, I agree we need some new style of music to wipe the slate clean again. Ooh, I have an idea! Let's take a bunch of american kids, and lock 'em up with nothing but old blues records and some guitars. Then, let's let them make their own style of music, heavily blues-influenced, and put them on records. Yes, then, we take these records to some working-class British kids. British kids put their own spin on it, make music, and go to London. They will all form some good bands. One band in particular shall call themselves, The Beebles. Cut to the part where this band takes over the world. Yes, and a new art form is popularized. The most powerful art form discovered so far. When exactly does this art form die? Well, our Beebles would naturally break up... but does it die there? No, impossible. It continues, and one of my favorite bands after the Beebles would be Graphite Zepplimb. Yes, they are good even after the Beebles so it must be alive at this point. Does this art die many years later when a band from the rainy city called Enlightenment becomes the leader of a new spin on the art called, Gringe?? No. But it does change drastically. But you see, as long as Beef Richards and Mick Bagger are still alive, this art will never die. So it is not dead. hahaha... sorry that came out. I need to stop posting so late. But really, rock is still good. Long live rock... be it dead or alive! yeah, what chuck berry said. If rock and roll is dead I am dead and I am typeing so I am obviously alive and yes I change every day as does music. Plus, rock and roll is such a broad term... so many things fit under that category and not all of them are good, just as not all music nowadays is bad. But let's just see where this ride takes us. Doesn't matter anyways, when if I reach 75 (doubt it) but if I do I'll still listen to my century old albums because they make me happy... so very happy. Happiness that is more than I could ever hope to find, but I do on a daily basis it never ceases to amaze me. anyways, my apologies for the length, and I'm also sorry if I sound like I'm talking out of my ass... wouldnt be the first time...
I'm sorry for calling you a dumb fuck (even though you made me think you were at that time), but you need to listen and find more music. Yes, Phish is over now (because they recently broke up ), but they are a pretty recent band and have quite a few songs over twenty minutes. In fact (correct me if I'm off), I'm pretty sure they had like a seven hour jam session in Arizona on the night or day it turned 2000. It was a live session too and that's where I'm getting at. And Im pretty sure seven hours is longer than twenty minutes . Have a nice day (or night depending what time it is) . Peace .
