Great Moments In Rock

I agree. Well, at least the people who're dicks about it.

But anyway, speaking of Cobain...one of my favourite moments in rock:

Nirvana killing hair metal.
 
I'd take Rush over those, any day.. I don't hate AC/DC but I'd still pick Rush, first. I havent' heard enough Mars Volta btu chances are I'd probably still say Rush, and Stones are decent enough..
 
Theres only maybe .01% of musicians that are better than Neil Young. I don't even know who the **** Paul Gilbert.

This is going to be hard to believe but some music fans have their head up their ass. I blame music. It connects to some people too fast and too hard and its the equivelent of being pussy whipped by your girlfriend. Its like that guy you know who finally dates for his first time and says some outlandish **** like "im going to marry this woman"

No the **** you aren't, and this artist isn't that good. I love when people don't like someones voice, The Stripes, Neil, Waits, Axl, it just means those superficial ****heaRAB are deprived of good music.

I heard Alicia Keys cover "Wild Horses" with the guy from Maroon 5, and I happen to think shes very talented, but she sings it like Aretha might have, not Mick, and it just doens't have the same appeal.

Bad voices are the sound of honesty, the real emotion and passion that comes from regular people in everyday situations, not some fruitbasket who's been studying vocal precision for their whole lives.

To anyone whos going to argue my theory, let me just clarify it this way. I think the hobo down the street begging for change that sings like a dying wolf knows pain. I don't think the well dress, cosmeticed up harlet in the school of music knows anything of loss.

The worse the signer, the better the effect.
 
I agree, there is no one greatest moment.
Here's a good one though.

The last Ziggy Stardust concert when Bowie tells everybody it's the last show they'll ever do. Half the band didn't even know, and half the crowd cried.
Awesome concert - Ziggy Stardust - The Motion Picture.
 
Iggy`s Metallic KO live album

Where he spenRAB the entire gig picking a fight with a chapter of hells angels & later has to be hidden inside a speaker cabinet to escape the venue

*saves again*
 
No way, he has a raspy voice like an old jewish lady that's true, but it dosen't mean he can't sing, and it's what gave GnR that great edge as a rock n roll band, if Steve Perry were their vocalist instead then well.... Damn, i don't even want to imagine what they would sound like if Steve Perry sang for them. :(

I love Axl's voice personally... I like unique voices.

I love Ferrell's voice too of course, i was just making an example.
 
Paul Gilbert is a "Yngwie Malmsteen" type guitar virtuoso... With fast fingers and the songwriting skills of a stick.

And i agree to an extent... A lot of my favorite banRAB/artists don't consist of technically great singers (Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Tom Waits, The Minutemen, Neil Young, Patti Smith, Bjork, Yes, GnR, RATM, The Doors, King Crimson, RHCP, Radiohead, The White Stripes, Black Sabbath, Metallica, The Sex Pistols, etc) but then again a lot of my favorite banRAB do have technically gifted singers (Iron Maiden, Queen, Soundgarden, Mr. Bungle, Jeff Buckley, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley, Todd Rundgren, Incubus, Heart).

It basically depenRAB on the kind of effect you want, which is usually a matter of preference.

I like music with feeling, but i don't think it only comes from technically limited singers, i think Jeff Buckley put a lot of feeling into his music, that's the one thing people can't duplicate, because a lot of people can write down Buckleys technique and everything, and they still won't be even close, just like how people can play Jimi Hendrix's solos note for note and still not make the same connection with people that Hendrix could... Freddie Mercury is another example of a technically gifted singer who could also connect with his audiance like no one else can... I'm talking to you Paul Rodgers, you know who you are.
