Kev946 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Personally I'm not too keen on the UK music scene at the moment, although I love Amy Winehouse. Bascially, what's happended to Rock Music though? Anyway, here's 3 US bands I'm liking at the moment. Flyleaf First Video is there last single and the second my favourite track from their debut album recorded live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GvCZ6E27Ic Evans Blue Their last single http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWdNCUm5 ... ed&search= +44 2 of the guys from Blink 182 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl4zGbSBP3U Enjoy....

Sgt Wilson Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I like Flyleaf Kev Reminds me of a cross between Broadcast and Avril Lavigne Don't rate Evans Blue sound a bit too Nickelbackesque for my liking and as for +44, may have to have a few listens. It's all personal taste though eh? Quote

It's all personal taste though eh? I love Flyleaf. Your comment on Avril Lavigne is about right but much heavier. As for Evans Blue, this track isn't the best. +44 are very Blink 182 sounding which is no surprise being Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker from Blink 182. Also, if you like Blink 182, try listening to Angels & Airwaves, which is Tom DeLonge's new band. The debut album in cracking. Quote
Sgt Wilson Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I'm always open to new stuff Kev, I'll give 'em a whirl. Have you ever listened to Magazine? Formed when Howard Devoto split from Buzzcocks, very much an acquired taste but my era(late 70's) and still love 'em today. Quote

sl114 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 They are pretty cool actually. I met +44 the other week as they came into the studios for some interviews. Really nice guys and im and going to get their album when its out. The other two are pretty good too, i like that sort of stuff. I have to say i am not that impressed with the type of Rock coming out these days, but it is picking up again which is always good Quote

I saw Deep Purple with Richie Blackmore in 1970 - it was the loudest rock I have ever heard, before or since, but what made it special was that every note and every instrument was crystal clear, and it was musical!!!!

Beavis Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 In the beginning of 1974, an estimate of 400 000 peoples showed up. They went to see bands like; Emerson Lake & Palmer, America, Black Sabbath, Earth Wind & Fire etc. But the big one was Deep Purple. 1500 workers to handle security, hot dogs etc. Well over one million gallons of water ready, equipment enough to cover several miles, a railway to fit in the gear for each band etc etc. One of the biggest show to this writing date. Deep Purple had a contract that said, that they were "on" at sundown. This show runned unlike other shows early. A man in charge of the show came to the band and said; Right! Your` on!! Ritchie Blackmore said; No, I`m not going..! He was waiting for the sundown like the contract said. The man from NBC started to use a invented language, screaming and shouting. Ritchie still said no. The NBC man got the local sheriff to handle Ricthie. But they locked Ritchie in a room backstage. The audience got more and more anoyed, but after about an well half-hour the sun went down. The group started with "BURN". Richie tried to tell the cameraman on stage to move back, because he needed more space. He told him about five times to move, but the cameraman on the stage didn`t listen. So Ritchie got his revenge by smashing his guitar into the cameralince. It is all in the video. At the end of the concert, Blackmores middle Marshall-rack amplifier was gonna blow up. The roadie responsible for that, wanted a big blast. So he did put too much explosives in, so the blast kicked Ritchie forward on the stage. Even keybordist Jon Lord on the other side of the stage felt the blast well. This is well showed in the video. A miracle none got hurt, according to Jon Lord in a interview. A lot of Stratocasters ended up as souvenirs to the audience this evening. This concert is really music history. I Doubt very much that the clash were louder than these. Quote
Kev946 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 I saw the Sex Pistols at the Nottingham Boat Club in 1975 before Sid Vicious joined them. John Lydon was at the bar next to us before the gig having a pint.... Quote
