Suppose if I pulled out Blue Cheer, Spirit, Robin Trowyer or Moby Grape, more than one of you nabobs will name all the bass players...
It was narcissistic of me to assume only I was gifted passable knowledge of genuine rock. I AM HUMBLED and I won't forget it. Suppose if I pulled out Blue Cheer, Spirit, Robin Trowyer or Moby Grape, more than one of you nabobs will name all the bass players...Spuddy
Not so much a gift as you obviously had some brain cells survive. Most of the folks who listened those folks well....
Ahh , Savoy Brown ;-T Dusty
Entwhistle was great. I saw the Who, double-billed with the Grateful Dead at the Oakland baseball stadium. One of the stranger double bills ever, practically two different crowds as most of the Who fans left afterwards and most of the Deadheads didn't show up until after the Who finished. A loss for both…I wasn't expecting much from the Who. Oh boy was I surprised. Townshend is quite under-rated. Moon was on form, no need for a substitute from the audience. Entwhistle sounded more like Jack Bruce… and of course the Deadhead tapers never to my knowledge bothered to use tape for the Who. The Dead were pretty good for the days and when Lesh hit low notes the whole Coliseum would vibrate. Good times!A friend was in a boat some distance offshore. Heard everything just fine…What was that you said, sonny? :BEER:cr
Okay here's the argument stopper. The first rock and roll record and artist was Arthur Crudup. Even Elvis and Chuck Berry agreed on that. He first did this one in 1942, later in the fifties he even did a few with Elvis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxHQUvCkV20 For me, the first R&R I heard were chuck Berry and Elvis in the mid fifties on radio. You guys remember radio don't'cha? It was like TV only the pictures were only in your head. For the first couple days I thought the title of this thread was Musical ole farts so I didn't click on it.
When Elvis first was heard on radio, he was billed as the white guy who sings black. BTW, I liked Chuck Berry better.
Elvis ... a sad example of the effects of an addiction to fried banana and PB sandwiches , which led to an even worse jones for sequins and bell bottoms ;D Dusty
Foghat
I do ? Hmm ... Elvis just never blew my dress up the way that B Holly or Bo Diddly did , sorry . DustyOh, we're talking about YOUR TASTE, I thought we were talking about rockers that infulenced rock. sorryBack to: I know a cat named way out Willie 1 chord: chop chop chop chop chop............... .chop chop ;D
Geez fellas , all I said was ... Elvis never wrote a song , didn't invent anything like the Bo Diddly beat , I might even suggest that Eddie Cochrane had a greater influence . Isn't Summertime Blues the most covered song in R&R ? DustySent from a submarine in Oklahoma .
I was under the impression that The Kinks" You Really Got Me" in 1964 was one of the first power cords in modern rock.[/quotePretty sure link was the original dude to lay his left index finger across all 6 wires and crank the volume and tremolo up to 11 and wail.
