Metaltown

Im back from metaltown,,, it was fucking awsome..

Rise Against - Hero of War

I think this song is incredible. What I need to know is how did they know how to write with such in-depth experience of the situations they speak of? If anything this song is not so much as an eye opener...if it is then please follow my former instructions with regards to pulling your head out... these things always happen in war. Is it a real shock... that is why we teach history. So lest we forget we are doomed to repeat again and again....it is obvious that a single generation gap is all that is required to forget the horrors of war in America. This generation is shocked by what this war has dealt upon the world and their fellow citizens and innocent people effected by the war... yet ask anyone from the Vietnam era and they will tell you that this is not all the different than the war in south east Asia during the 60's & early 70's. So why do we not teach this next generation the horrors of Vietnam & The War in Iraq? Lets teach them the real horrors of the war and the truth and the ugliness of the war. This way we might be able to break the ugly chain of war that keeps creeping up every second generation or so?

I think perhaps the most moving part of this song is ‘she collapsed with a flag in her hand, a flag white as snow’. The white flag, of course a symbol of surrender, also has a sense of purity and innocence about it. The fact that a woman is carrying the flag further portrays this point, so in a sense, this soldier has not only killed the messenger of peace but peace itself. Quite an emotive song and certainly presents a confronting theme about some aspects of war but more so the sarcastic undertones of the glorification of war by the driving force of soldiers to become heroes.

The songs has an music video but i chose to not show it first because i think that the video let the song down though.. better to listen to the lyrics and imagine a video in your head, first listen to the song and lyrics then if you want you can see the music video to...

Rock & Roll Queen

love this song preformed by "The Subways".

the howl Indie rock/alternative rock genre fit this band really nice:)love the backdrop of punk guitar riffs and sweet harmonies.

Paramore

Paramore is an awesome band..:D love them

The band isn't just a short pop-punk girl with red hair and a spunky attitude. Their music is like them, it's aged differently. It's sped up, and slowed down. It's emo without being whiny, or bratty. Almost a very literal anti-Avril Lavigne.

The style is i think emo and a bit of pop-rock/power pop, if you compare their two albums: "all we know is falling" and "Riot!", "All we know is falling"has an arguably more formulaic pop-punk sound that was delivered particularly well and the combination of the two had created a refined rock infused pop/punk album.

and then if you look at the second album "Riot!" is exploring a diverse range of styles, however, not straying far from their signature sound.

It’s unreal how amazing how all Paramores lyrics sounds so amazingly when Hayley sings them. Her voice is so perfect. love it<3

it's hard to chose witch songs to put up here but with a little variety from both albums it should go...:D

"Misery Business" my favorite song



"Pressure"(acoustic) love her voice



"Hallelujah" Everything about it makes me think about life. Love the lyrics<3



"Here we go again" awesome song

Jimi Hendrix

so for a change i will write i english... :)

so Jimi Hendrix is my favorite guitarist of all time i think that Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist ever.

Jimi Hendrix was one of rock's few true originals. He was one of the most innovative and influential rock guitarists of the late '60s. Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential musicians in music history.

Jimi Hendrix band The Jimi Hendrix Experience's first hit single was "Hey Joe." It spent ten weeks on the UK charts, reaching as high as spot No. 6 in early 1967. The debut single was quickly followed by the release of the full-length album Are You Experienced, a musical CD featuring sounds of generations to come. Are You Experienced has remained one of the most popular rock albums of all time, featuring tracks like "Purple Haze," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Foxey Lady," "Fire," and "Are You Experienced?"

A left-hander who took a right-handed Fender Stratocaster and played it upside down, Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before Hendrix had experimented with feedback and distortion, but he turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began. But while he unleashed noise--and such classic hard-rock riffs as "Purple Haze," "Foxy Lady," and "Crosstown Traffic"--with uncanny mastery, Hendrix also created such tender ballads as "The Wind Cries Mary," the oft-covered "Little Wing," and "Angel," and haunting blues recordings such as "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile." Although Hendrix did not consider himself a good singer, his vocals were nearly as wide-ranging, intimate, and evocative as his guitar playing.

I saw a program on TV yesterday that was about guitar heroes in history of rock and roll. And when Pete Townshead (guitarist in the band "The Who") talk about Jimi he said that he had contacted Eric Clapton (one of the greatest guitarist of all time) and ask if he wanted to go to a movie. The thing was that the two had never meet before. Eric was surprised but accepted and then in the cinema Pete Townshead said to Eric:" I have just seen a man that is going to but us out of business."And he was talking about Jimi Hendrix.

The extraordinary performances, recording, and lyrics of James Marshall Hendrix have made him impossible to forget. This American rock music guitarist made a legendary mark not only in
the history of rock 'n' roll but also on the pop culture as a whole. With unique techniques never seen before and blatant sex-related performances on stage, he became one of the most influential music figures of the 60s.

Fortunately, the tragic death of this young man came after rather than before he had contributed so much to the rock 'n' roll era of the 60s. Not only did he inspire black musicians to persevere in their careers, but he also influenced the entire pop culture with his unprecedented music and stunning performances. In the eyes of many Americans, the legendary rock music guitarist Jimi Hendrix will live on forever.

If you haven't heard this man play the guitar then something is wrong with you. When you hear Jimi Hendrix its like one big music orgasm. :D

My favorit song - "All along the watchtower"



"purple haze" wonderful guitar sounds:D



"Woodoo Child"



"The wind cries Mary" A really nice guitar ballad:D

Dire Straits

Dire Straits is an awesome band, a rock band founded in 1977 and played until 1995. After that they have done some charity gigs and some other small things. Dire straits style is a little more conventional, and they are known for their lengthy songs that sometimes stretch to 15 minutes...

Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler is a really good guitar player, there are not many who is as good as him. He ranks high on the list of the best guitar player in the world.

Dire straits probably best known song is called "Sultans of Swing" where you really hear that Mark Knopfler can play the guitar damn good. Dire Straits most famous sounds are known as "Sultans of Swing", "Romeo and Juliet," "Tunnel of Love, "" Telegraph Road "," Private Investigations "," Money for Nothing "," Walk of Life "," So Far Away, "" Brothers in Arms "and" Calling Elvis ".

I love this band...wonderful

"Sultan of Swing" - this is one big music orgasm...


"Romeo and Juliet" - I think this is one if the best love song in the world



"Walk of Life" - wonderful sound

random + Boston

woo-hoo, I learned a new song today on guitar- "Every rose has it's thorn" by Poisonn...:D really good song

And now I'm going to talk about the band:"Boston"...:D

Boston is an old school rock band that started in 1976 with their debut album called "Boston" ... just have to say that it is not often you find a album of a band where all the songs is nice as hell: P and plus that this were their debut album and it's not often you come across a debut album that is so good ... Boston's debut album is the best album they have made... love the album and the band: D wonderful

Going to write a album review of that album "Boston"

Boston is a five-man band that embodies the best influences of English heavy metal compounds and progressive rock as no other American band ever did. Group affinity for heavy rock & roll provides a sense of dynamism consistent magnetically with sophisticated progressive structures. "Fore-play/Long time," for example, is a perfect marriage between "Led Zeppelin" and "Yes" to play musical "chairs" with electric and acoustic sounds.

Singer Bradley Delp's muscle energy vocals are powerful and smooth. He teams with guitarist Tom Scholz, who coproduced and wrote six of the album's eight tracks in a relationship that is key to the group's striking personality. If Boston is so exciting to see as it is to hear, Aerosmith will soon have company at the top.

Boston is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and deservedly so. Due to the increase of disco and punk, FM rock radio seemed completely dead until the emergence of bands / artists like Boston, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen. Almost every song on Boston's debut album can still be heard on classic rock radio decades later due to the strong vocals of Brad Delp and unique guitar sound of Tom Scholz.

Singer Brad Delp took his own life in 2007...R.I.P Brad

Album song list
1. More than a feeling
2. Peace of mind
3. Foreplay/long time
4. rock & roll band
5. Smokin'
6. Hitch a ride
7. Something about you
8. Let me take you home tonight
5/5 :D

The song that Boston is the most famous for is "more than a feeling" that the most people have heard.



Then the song "foreplay/long time" the guitarist in "Boston" started to play guitar when he was 21 and one year later he recorded this song, and that a good achievements because the guitar play in this song is awesome.



There is something about you...<3

Keith Moon

denna man måste bara hyllas: Keith Moon trummis i The Who.

Keith Moon, som avled den 7 september 1978 vid en ålder av 32, var den Heliga och revolutionerande trummis i den inflytelserika rock gruppen The Who.Rock and Roll Hall of Fame beskriver honom som "en av de största rock and roll trummisar genom tiderna", han var känd för sin off-beat och ofta explosiva spelstil.Han är fortfarande en mycket älskad musik legend och en av populärkultur's all-time excentriker.

"allting med honom var extremt, säger WHO's sångare Roger Daltrey, medan Keith Moons biografiker, Tony Fletcher, sa att han var “the first to treat the drums as though they were a lead instrument.”

Enligt Pete Townshend, Keith Moon bara "dök upp på en spelning ... gick till trumsättet och nästan slog sönder det i bitar. "Gruppen tog omedelbart honom och tack till stor del på hans revolutionerande stil omgående kraschade in i 1965 musiken som man inte kan förklara.

Den numera ökända låten "My Generation" följde snart efter, befästa gruppens framgång, medan hans explosiva scenen upptåg tjänat honom smeknamnet ‘Moon the Loon’.

Som The Who framgång ökade, så gjorde hans förkärlek för djur-och växtliv, med en av hans mest kända händelser under 1973 Quadrophenia turné när han tog en häst lugnande och svimmade på scenen under spelningen:D

Keith Moon var en av världshistoriens bästa trummis,det fanns ingen som han och det kommer inte att finnas någon som han någonsin. Alltid när Keith spelade så hörde man det direkt: Han hade en så speciel spelstill och utstråling som ingen annan. Sen även om han personlighet var inte så populär så hade han en plats i allas hjärtan som lyssnar på The Who

Även om The Who fortfarande spelar ida så blev det aldrig samma sak efter Keith dog. Keith saknades och det märktes i senare spelningar.
Liksom vem annars är keith Moon lägger stora smällare i sitt trummset för att förstöra det efter en spelning eller käka gorilla lungnande medel för en spelning och spela ändå, ja jallafall halva efter att ha svimmar vid trummsetet. Sen fick ju en i publiken fortsätta spela resten av spelning...

R.I.P Keith Moon

The Who - Wont get fooled again... den låten där Keith nog är helt sjuk på trummorna:D fett trumsolo en bit in i låten



The Who - Behind Blue Eyes... nog del låten som The Who är mest kända för,, eller jallafall som ett annat skit band har gjort en dålig cover på... orginalet ee fan bäst...:D

jag älskar musik

Jag älskar musik
den är mitt väsen
den avgör vad jag är och förändras ständigt med mig.
för mig är musiken helig,
den är min tro,
den får min respekt och heder.
Jag lär mig av de musiker jag älskar,
de som bryr sig om vad de spelar,
vad de säger
hur sången kan röra vid ditt innersta och få ditt väsen att skälva
hur texten han få dig att gråta
hur ackorden kan ändra världen.
Med musiken så mångsidig och hängiven
behöver vi aldrig trösta efter en dikt,
en text,
ett ord,
en melodi,
ett ackord
eller en sång att växa av.
Jag älskar min tro!
