Agree with most of you about such bands as Greatful Dead, Eagles, Dylan and U2. But i would also like to add, DAvid Bowie/Ziggy Stardust and Kid Rock.

Whoever sings that song, "Give me the Beach Boys, free my soul, wanna get lost in your rock and roll, and drift away" should be tortured by every cultural torture out there. Can't stand that song! I think that, for mixing sambas and latin stuff and jazz improv and real raw blues and screaming/aggressive rock while the rest of the world was on the pop/rock early Beatles/Pat Boone trip, the Doors were pretty daring musically. I think they would have been sold in the jazz market and thought of as underrated or before their time band if they didn't have Jim Morrison. Nowadays, unfortunately, Jim Morrison = The Doors. Now that I think about it, who were the electric-guitar led jazz bands around that era?  |

"Give me the Beach Boys, free my soul, wanna get lost in your rock and roll, and drift away" ReallY??? I thought it was: "Live in a beach ball at 3-5-4, Ivanna's pet goat in a lock and load" Either way makes sense to me.  |

That would be "Drift Away" by Dobie Gray.

The problem I have with that song is...
1) Nobody gave them boys the beat
2) It confines my soul with no creativity
3) It's not rock and roll
If somebody would have gave them boys the beat, it might free my soul if it was rock and roll. However, it's the schlocky-est grocery store schlock yet!
Thanks for the song information.

I must be a geek - I like that song. It's fun to play, features some interesting parts (woodblock?), and a nice little hihat lick in the middle.

If he's a geek, I'm a hepcat—I must have associated that song with a so-so day or something, as well, because it just makes me think middling, unproductive thoughts (in addition to my general aversion to it). Maybe it was overplayed for me, as well. |

Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Foo Fighters
The Sex Pistols
The Clash
Blondie
R.E.M.
Talking Heads
Bob Dylan
Bruce Springsteen
The Rolling Stones
I don't really hate any of these (save for one or two); I'm just extremely bored with them. The critics and music press have had their noses so far up all of these artists' rear ends for so long that I can't help but feel a bit jaded about them.

Then I'm a super geek because I've always really liked that song. Great guitar work. |

Now that I think about it, who were the electric-guitar led jazz bands around that era? Larry Coryell for one - I remember the album "Lady Coryell" back then ('69) |

After watching the Grateful Dead show (70's) on my PBS station last week, I definately have to concur with not getting the Dead. Maybe you have to be stoned out of your gourd. . .
I LOVE the Dead but that show never really grabbed me. I've got the Dvd. The best part of that is when Father Time (Bill Graham) flies across the crowd in an eight-foot-long joint. Not that I'm into drugs or anything, it's just really funny. Bands I never got into: Bob Marley U2 *gag!* The Doors Most of the bands grouped with the Dead (Jam bands, etc..) Van Halen Nirvana Most bands popular amoung teens these days The Beatles *double gag!* I'll come up with a few more original ones when I can think clearly. |

I have to admit that I don't get into much metal. I dig the classics and I would rate Metallica as one of my favorite bands (at least up until the Black album). But many of this stuff over the past 10 years or so? I just don't get it. I cannot distinguish one band from the other, nor can I tell which is speed metal or death metal or whatever metal. I guess the music is unappealing to me, but more so, the fans turn me off. The high brow snobbery of metal fans is a big turn off to me. They seem to get personally offended whenever you don't embrace metal as the greatest form of music ever. They justify it by trying to relate it to classical music or by explaining the deep meaning hidden in the growling of the "singer". As for the aforementioned confusing of the subsubgneres, look out. You'd think I called Churchill a Nazi sympathizer when I called some death metal band a black metal band or some such nonsense. I just don't get it.

The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex or mechanical. If we cling to them, we will become bound by their limitation. Any technique, however worthy and desirable, becomes a disease when the mind is obsessed with it.

Tony, even though I'm a big metal head, I share most of the sentiment. I think we had a discussion of this matter here in the Café. Too many guys are way too caught up in categorization, and many are way overprotective of "their" music and "their" bands. BTW, Load is one hell of a record! |
