I just started playing the bass a few months ago (after nearly 3 decades on the guitar) and I freaking love it. |
Quote:
as cliché as it sounds at this point, there's really no arguing that The Rolling Stones are actually the world's greatest rock and roll band. Don't care who likes 'em or not, what anyone's opinion is; no one has done it better for longer. Their 'worst' album is better than most band's best, period. Keith singing 'The Worst'...oh, irony. |

But that awesome ass bass solo in 1983 is totally Jimi. Noel Redding was a hack. Quote:
It's a different mentality than guitar; much more rhythmic, and subtle. The big thing for me was how to not attack a bass the way you might a guitar, like letting the notes breathe and be full. especially in a trio. But Noel Redding, he seemed to never really make the switch from guitar to bass. He thought he was a star in his own right, equal to Hendrix, and that he would quit and be the lead guitar and vocal of his own band, Fat Mattress. How many Fat Mattress records you own?? |

The infamous 1975 concert at Wembley is on YouTube. I'm not posting any of it here, lest I get perma-banned. |
Quote:
Yeah, I have the old Gene Simmons demos and the Cherokee Studios tracks from '75 - they pretty much improved each song, except for Beats Working and She's A/The Woman, I like the original lyrics to each one better. And in She's The Woman, the old one had the bridge from Mean Street in it, so the new one has a twist in it. But musically, they're on top of their game. Never sounded better, and really don't miss ol' what's his name at all. |

Over the years, I developed a certain somewhat percussive, hybrid rhythm/lead style on the guitar and never did really develop my lead "chops" because I'm just not dexterous enough. Ironically, I've found that this Neil Young-style hackjob guitar style translates really well to the bass. Quote:

Top Five for me, really depends on my mood. Different tunes for different moods.

As others have said it depends on my mood. These 5 are ones I can listen to at any time.
Neil Young (especially with Crazy Horse) Allman Brothers Band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Pink Floyd Beatles |
Quote:
The early Jefferson Starship, sure. I LOVE Fleetwood Mac. One of my all-time favorite bands, every single era. Peter Green, to the Kirwin/Spencer-fronted ensemble, then to Christine McVie/Bob Welch era, Stevie/Lindsey, Billy/Rick, Becca/Billy, back to Stevie/Lindsey (sans-Christine). Fleetwood and McVie are SICK - everything they play has giant balls. Even You Make Loving Fun and Dreams, all the played out shit from Rumours still sounds amazing. Nothing wrong with a whole buncha Mac at all. |
I can narrow down 5 if we're talking heavy metal:
Lamb of God Pantera Devildriver Whitechapel Opeth |

Neil is one of my absolute favorites in everything he does; he's one of the truly rare 'rock' guitar guys who uses a completely different approach for acoustic playing as opposed to electric. Quote:

horrible mental image though!! |

I'd be down to check that out. All my favorite new stuff is like, all my friends' records and shit. Like The Steepwater Band's new record, Lions Of Hazelwood, Tender Bone, Headley Grange, Daryl Hance, TUF, etc. |
Quote:
There's very little that I won't listen to. Sorry that they're your favorite bands. But my aunt had an 8-track player and I got my fill of bland, by-the-numbers 70's AOR Arena Rock. It's probably the soundtrack to your youth, nostalgia, etc. It's just not very good, sorry. |
Quote:
But I do have boredom in abundance, so there's that. :D |
This list excludes solo artists.

No love for Boston?!?!
They are one of the best rock bands ever! |
Quote:
Sorry. I won't fault anyone for their music, but out of everything ever recorded or played, the last thing anyone should ever choose to listen to would be Foreigner, Styx, REO, Boston, and especially Journey. |
Quote:
With all of the classic rock and metal listed, I'm a little surprised that more people didn't list Deep Purple or Judas Priest. |
Quote:

Quote:
Every single ****ing song sounds the same. Even with the other guy singing. I can never in my life fathom someone actually choosing to listen to Boston. Like, 'I'm gonna take this CD or whatever, out of the case, put it IN the tray...and press play.' I'm just gonna say, if you actually DO that...then you get what you deserve. |

First off, to me Rock is Rock, not Pop. Therefore bands like the Beatles are out.
1. Led Zeppelin 2. AC/DC 3. Guns n Roses 4. Black Sabbath 5. Kiss I wanted to nominate people like Chuck Berry, the Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, the Kinks, the Clash, Lynard Skynard, and others but they are either more pop or just not the top 5. I also love Ted Nugent but he is never taken seriously as one of the greats To me when you hear great rock you have to wanna head bang and jump around and press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and run real fast and get whipped into a frenzy. |

it's actually funny if you don't take any of it so seriously. duh. read with sarcastic tone; there isn't a sarcasm font yet. |

The Mark II version...I love the Coverdale years, too. Glenn Hughes is a beast, and so is Roger Glover. Hot damn, luzz me some Purp. |
Quote:
Wait...you listen to Journey, Styx, REO, Boston, and Foreigner. You're a female, and it's your time of the month?? Change tampon, maybe??? |

I liked Rainbow more than Purple. I saw Rainbow in '81 (with Joe Lynn Turner instead of Dio, unfortunately) and it was a great show. I was just surprised more people hadn't mentioned them. |

My top 5 in no order
Bon Jovi Whitesnake Motley Crue Def Leppard Ratt |
Quote:
Part of it is that I really became "musically aware" and started to develop tastes distinct from my Dad's (he was a hippy :D) in the 1983-1986 timeframe, about the same time that Whitesnake hit it big. I wanted to see the guitar/rock mags cover Dio, Twisted Sister, and the like and they were covering Whitesnake and Poison instead. Add to that that Vivian Campbell was in Whitesnake and I can't stand Campbell. I ****ing hated Whitesnake and by association, David Coverdale. |
