My first couple albums were Doobie Bros 'Captain and Me', and Elton John 'Greatest Hits' (The 1974 one wearing the white suit).
If you check out Lee’s book My Effin’ Life, you might develop an appreciation for Rush. Not saying you’ll suddenly love their music, just an appreciation.
the show the bear has a lot of goo dmusic and features a lot of rem stuff. the scenes with strange currencies playing in the background are great. and if you havent seen it the xmas episode ranks up there with great episodes from the very best shows imo
we're going august 10 lmao. I'm going to invite that snob ranger
I have a golden rule. I don’t go to free shows.
Tea for the Tillerman? I don’t think so.
Billy Joel is an auto veto. I can't stand songs written on piano nor can I stand pop rock.. There's not one song he made that's tolerable to me. Elton is an icon. As far as writing on piano, he's one of the few that can and make it interesting.. Rush sucks unless you're 13 years old. Ayn Rand reading MFs. Queen is one of the greatest rock bands ever, but they've been so overplayed (same ten songs) that they've become boring.
Yeah I was born in last year of X. Identify more as a millennial as my pops was super into tech so I few up with it.
Oh I really got into it. Good show and that episode was great.
I’ll give you that early Yes was good. Still can’t get past Jon Anderson’s screechy, high voice. Will never happen unless I become an AI Master, but substitute Roger Daltry’s voice and we’re talking exponentially better.
I don’t go to orgies with less than 2:1 f to m.
Xennials.... Like '77-'83.
Are you a Xennial? How to tell if you're the microgeneration between Gen X and Millennial
Xennials are stuck between Generation X and Millenials and experienced technology in unique ways because of their age.www.usatoday.com
Well, I haven't really played in a while. I've seen Blues Traveler several times (3-4). IMHO, Popper is the best ever, at least from a technical ability standpoint. Musically, there are some old timers I would put up there with him (Little Walter for example). But no one can play like Popper.
I say if you want the Gen X cool you gotta add some years to your age. Or you’re just a millennial with an old soul.
No
Me either. These days anyway.
I'm sorry.... Please don't write songs. TIA
How'd you start? And get so good? Would you play by yourself a lot or did you join a band early?
Believe it or not, an old version of this book (see below) that came with a cassette tape and a harmonica, plus lots of practice on my own playing along with records (tapes). Played a lot in my car. I also had some piano and guitar lessons when I was kid - especially piano. But then got drunk one night and asked to play with a local band in a packed bar, in front of a ton of people (including friends of mine). Always was completely improv but I knew what blues accompaniment and solos were supposed to sound like.
And all this talk has me itching to play again.
Piano Man Sucks? You must not understand my generation. This song is about his trials of fighting for his rights and what he endured to be free of oppression.
John at the bar looks like Noodle's avatar.
Piano Man is an incredible song. And not just because of the harp (though I just did play along - found an old beat up harmonica in a retired briefcase. A very old Hohner Special 20 harp, key of C).
Man, I've tried playing guitar on and off for a long time and I just can't get it. I guess I just don't want to practice that much.
