^GnR's vocals complemented their music. The vocals were unorthodox and hence struck an instant chord with the fans. Anyways, GnR is a classic act when you consider the Slash days. Now it is, wel, not so good.
Well..I regular post on this site..bumped upon this thread...could not resist posting..here..
Have always been a rock N roll fan....and metal fan...!
My favorites..have/are been:
1. AC/DC - Heavy from down under. Gloomy rifts.
2. Black Sabbath -- specially with Ronnie James Dio. (Part of unholy trinity)
3. Cinderalla -- Fizzled out to soon. But excellent lyrics.
4. Deep Purple -- Love Ritchie Blackmore, even if he has an attitude problem (Part of unholy trinity)
5. Dio - Diamonds is my favorite album
7. Eagles - Outlaws and rockstars
8. Europe - Maine Pyar Kiya original
9. Firehouse - Modernists with rock/metal touch
10. Grand Funk Railroad - vintage/excellent
11. Iron Maiden - Eddie still rules man. Ryme of the ancient mariner. What lead...!
12. Judas Priest -- twin lead guitar (KK Downing/Glen Tipton)
13. KISS -- Simmooooooooooons
14. Led Zeppelin - The grand fathers of rock. (Part of unholy trinity)
15. Motley Crue - lots of punk hair..but good songs.
16. Pink Floyd - GODS
17. Ozzy Osbourne -- solo career. Sounds as if he is singing from a tunnel. Haunting
19. Scorpions - learnt english so could become rock stars
20. Rainbow - Temple of the King. Dio has one of the best voices
21. Dire Straits - Mark Knofler -- best guitarist. Same league as Clapton
22. Van Halen - Inventor of tap guitaring
23. White Lion - probably only band with NO bad songs
24. Whitesnake - David Coverdale sails his solo ship. So very successful.
Basically if you notice:
1. All are non-contemporary band.
2. Heavily lead guitar oriented.
3. Were gods during their time.
4. Were crazy.
I even have LPs of some of these bands. Pure Vinyl. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Eagles...!
And currently my room has a KISS calendar, which I framed in glass. Its 2 years old, but still framed. All the four (Stanly, Simmons, Frehley, Criss), are on it with full masks and outfit.....!
With all those hannah montana , jonas brothers and R&B stuff dont u all think that Rock(specially Heavy Metal) has lost its Air play its been a while since a great rock album, Bands are breaking like hell, rock musicians are also dying lyk Bird flu chicken .................IS IT THE END OF ROCK ??????
And secondly arent u all pissed of all those 3 days Grace and all that Alt Rock Scene Frankly speaking me is ..
Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????
^+1 to above.
You just need to know where to look. What about crap and utterly gross bands like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, etc monickered with the 'rock' genre ? This is the main reason why real 'rock' or 'metal' is losing popularity. Dont blame Hannah Montana (though she is atrocious too). Montana is a pop singer. But bands like Linkin Park call themselves 'rock'. Rock, my ass.
As per me, I listen to old bands. I used to listen to a lot of 'Tallica before but now I mostly delve in death/black. Death, Necrophagist, Entombed, Nevermore, Absu, etc being my favs now. I hardly listen to anything remotely popular except for Megadeth .
Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????
+1, rock can never die. LP was never rock, i think what they sing is alternative rock or something but not rock precisely.
BTW i love listening to Bullet for my valentine, Megadeth , iron maiden, system of a down, korn and Slipknot.
Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????
^^
Although I have to admit YellPee, Limpy Biscuit Factory are not worth describing, I *did* get into metal through them if I look back to 3years ago at THIS very moment.
And yes, I've recently dived into As I Lay Dying and Behemoth, with the occasional Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Kreator, Kalmah, Bodom, Sodom, and Megadeth.
EDIT YellPEE is NOT alternate, you can classify Slash, Marty Friedman's acts as alternate rock. YellPee is just nu-metal.
Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????
People are also very much against rock as they find so called pop singer's(Hannah montana :AGAIN songs easy to listen and blame all metal genre to be lyk headbanging and producing distorted thumping and growl, I mean my friends always say that ppl into metal are crazy weirdos. this just blows me down ..........
