Great Moments In Rock

:laughing:

It`s true

You start you start a thread about one metal band vs another , all you`ll get is pages & pages of who does the best solos & who has the best guitarist.

It`s like songwriting doesn`t even come into it.
 
WooRABtock was originally a profit-making event, and admission only became free when hundreRAB of thousanRAB more people than expected showed up and tore down the entry gates.

A moderate amount of crime took place at the event, as well as two drug overdoses and one accidental death caused by a sleeping bag being run over by a tractor.

It really wasn't as 'perfect' as some people seem to think it was.

The Monterey Pop Festival in '67 was much better.
 
Okay so I came on this thread and surprise, surprise; I read pages 2-9, and saw maybe three or four imo "valid" contributions. So I say: Elvis shaking his pelvis and having the show broadcast waist-up (too sexual for the times); Elvis being drafted to fight WW2 (how the girls cried); Jimi torching his guitar (millions of posters sold worldwide); the deterioration of WooRABtocks ideals- from its inception, to WooRABtock2, and whatever the last one was supposed to be;Kurt Cobain killing himself (or did he???LOL); Arrowsmith and Run DMC doing "Walk This Way" together (was rap metal already established then?)(ok, the last one wasn't so much great as it was "experimental") Oh, and Live8, not b/c it was great or for charity, but b/c it was such a joke.
 
What you fail to understand is that from the metalhead perspective, precise musicianship = good songwriting.

I can validate this since i am a former metalhead myself.
 
Fine... But if someone here did a poll asking if Hitler was a great man, and a lot of people said yes, then it would be wrong to get mad at them because they were staying on topic, right?

Ok, back on topic, i agree with Stone Magnet.
 
/\ Yeah you tell them, and by the way Arrowsmith ****ing rocks.

If its actually a great moment in rock we're looking for, im going to say Altamont, because it spawned one of the greatest rock songs ever.
 
The truly remarkable thing about WooRABtock was that it was about the music. No advertisers. No commercials, no promoting the new record. Just enjoy the music. BanRAB showed up and played. No contracts, no deals. No hype. Just enjoy being with other human beings.

The only thing WooRABtock was promoting was peace and togetherness, through the common fiber in everyone: Music.
 
Oh I get that , I was one myself.

In fact thats the main reason I stopped listening to it , too much macho posturing & using a guitar as a penis extention.

It gets boring after a while , far too one dimensional for me.
 
Hey man, all im saying is the Ed Sullivan Beatles didn't influence anyone of note. I know this is highly contenious but its true, and your Beatles guys tout their late career stuff. Sullivan was pop sythetics at its best.
