A place to talk about things that aren't worth starting a new thread for but you feel are worth saying; anything music related works.
I started this for 2 reasons:
1. For all the times I felt like giving some useless information or just plain speak my mind.
2. I'm desperately trying to start a successful thread.
Let me start by saying that Green Day are awesome!
No matter how much I hear them they'll alway be good and I never get sick of them. It's been too long since I've just sat and listened to Green Day!
*Loads Green Day onto the playlist*
The Libertines need to reform. And Pete needs to get off the dugs. Being in babyshambles isnt helping him. And i really hope Carl gets better. i feel so sorry for him and i could just cry for him.
To bad their aren't more woman who do heavy rock, metal and other heavy music's of the sort.
Nothing like hearing a girl (who's hot) scream at the top of her lungs!
Kittie, Otep, I can't see how they'd be punk?
There are quite a few Punkrock female singers but that's not the type of girl singers I was talking about. Rock lacks Female singers in general, too bad.
Bands:
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Beatles
Muse
Radiohead
Sex Pistols
Coldplay
Stone Roses
Def Leopard
Iron Maiden
The Clash
Guitarists:
Brian May
Slash (GnR)
Tony Iommi
Pete Townshend
Richie Blackmore
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
No offense, I'll probably get blasted to hell for this, but I don't think playing at 200 bpm is that great... a lot of Hendrix's songs descend into walls of white noise. Satch and Vai are so covered with effects, you cant even hear the guitar tone. The only really great guitarist you mentioned there would be Van Halen.
In my honest opinion, the bands and guitarists I've listed above are easily some of the greatest in the world.
All but three of those bands you mentioned were/are great (although you missed out Procupine Tree, who are better than all but one in that list), but AC's point was that not all of the best guitarists were British, he wasn't saying British musicians suck. He's completely right, I can think of about 10 just off the top of my head to add to the ones he mentioned, 5 of which aren't even American which is nice.
And I'm not a huge Hendrix fan myself, but 'white noise'?? Don't mean to sound rude, but are your ears functioning properly?
Okay, this is something that's been pissing me off for a while now. The whole thing with pop artists and teenyboppers wearing the anarchy sign and putting it on their speakers and such has to stop. I swear that 90% of these people know absolutely jack shit about anarchy except for that the Sex Pistols sang about it. Since when has Kelly Clarkson been a rebellious punk rocker?
Thats why i love Britain today. Cos rock music (and i mean proper rock music) is coming back into the mainstream. Real new artists such as, The libertines, Muse (not new but finally hit mainstream last year), Franz Ferdinand, snow patrol, Keane and many more have totally shook the nation into complete indie punk rock.
