Hendrix overrated?!£!$!"$%!"%!??
He technically pushed guitar playing at that level into the mainstream, he could not read music, had a right hand guitar that he played left hand and learnt all by ear.
He was a genius and that would be underating him, as a player he wasn't the best its people liek Steve Vai and Joe Satriani but as an influence he is one of the biggest.

Hendrix was technically average, artisticly brilliant.

yeh true i dont like him or his singing to be honest. That why i put the "?"
I know some people adore him though...
I think there's noone really like freddie mercury. He just had that special something :smile:

Axl Rose was a genius, his voice was just what rock was about, it was unique, gritty and powerful and his songs just captured the essence of being radical and outspoken, which rock should be! :biggrin:

I dont think he wrote some of the songs with any meaning, such as One In A Million, I mean it was one of the most homophobic and racist songs in history but considering Slash's mother was black and he played with Elton John and at the Freddie Tribute he cant of truly meant the lyrics but he did get a lot of publicity for it and in turn more sales. :wink:

I agree about Freddie Mercury, I mean the Live Aid gig was spectacular and his vocal's were untouchable, he was a better singer than Steven Tyler and Robert Plant but I dont think he was as rocky as they were but he was downright amazing and probably the greatest front man of all time.

Wow essay!
aha no s'all good
Glad you agree about freddie :smile:

Brian May is my hero btw :biggrin:

uth

Ye I tend to ramble on :biggrin:

.
Brian May is amazing, I think he was his own worst enemy when he played more simple solo's when he had the ability to play anything, that said thou I Want It All is stunning and Bohimean Rhapsody, well what can you say about that song. :biggrin:

Bon Jovi's guitarist Richie Sambora is my personal favourite, hes more melodic and Bon Jovi may or may not be seen as classic rock but Sambora does rule in my eyes :biggrin:

.

I think a lot of Queens material such as Who Wants To Live Forever and These Are The Days Of Our Live have a huge impact now Freddie died, there much more meaningful and it makes it more powerful. :wink:

Bon Jovi is classic rock yes :smile:

And i know! Those song are so meaningful. And after he died the other three recorded No-one But You; that really makes me sad. :frown:

And Queen's early albums totally rule too. The songs like You & I, Great King Rat and Tenement Funster. Yeahh now we're talking!!

Sorry i just love queen :biggrin:

Another revision late nighter broken up by classic rock discussion :biggrin:

.

If Bon Jovi is classic rock then they are my favourite classic rock band because they are my favourite band :biggrin:

, I think the range of music that they've done is amazing and they are one of the best live bands ever.

Queen were really the first classic rock band I liked, I liked them when I was young but lost intrest then started listening to music in general again at like 14 and they came up, so they were the triggers into my classic rock love :biggrin:

.

Bon Jovi is the one for me thou :wink:

(I like every single on of their solo works to, Richie Sambora's two solo albums are my favourite of all time, you must check them out on youtube!)

Mama just killed a man, put a gun against his head........

I'm still waiting for a new Guns N' Roses to take over the charts and knock all this crappy indie and emo music off, I mean its all exactly the same now. Although Chinese Democracy maybe released this year by Guns N Roses (After almost two decades in production) and some of the leaked tracks are amazing.

uthred50

Yeh chinese democracy should rule!
Ive loved queen forever too. My mum had (and still has) all the queen LP's :biggrin:

I was brought up on queen lol.

Hmm with bon jovi john's voice gets on my nerves a lil after a bit sometimes. Like axl rose but not near as bad.
Having said that i'm listening to the lost highway album at the moment :biggrin:

ooh and please help get new members for our beloved society too! :smile:

People just dont appriciate the classics anymore :biggrin:

.
Lost Highway is amazing, its one of those albums where only two songs are really well known but the rest are even better, it has a slight country influence but its not too much and its still got the Sambora sound :wink:
