Appreciating music, years later

[Drago]

EDIT: Rock music drops the 3rd from the chord and uses mainly 1st and 5th notes (The power chord), using no 3rd note in a chord causes musical ambiguity and enables the guitarist to noodle around using the pentatonic/blues scale, which has a minor third. Resulting in playing minor based scales over a Major tonality, same as black American traditional blues music.

Like in Paint it Black?

I turned into my dad years ago, I'm now morphing into my granddad.

Wish I could pull that trick.My Grandad was 6ft 2".Im not !

How tall is your Gran?

 

[Hugh Manatee]

A-ha. Written off as a teenybopper band by me. Man, can that dude sing. Found Hunting high and Low on vinyl and I really enjoyed it. Daughter loves it too.

I have been discovering Kate Bush recently. Cloud Bursting came on the radio.
I was ten when that song was released so most of Kate Bush past me by first time round.

So how old were you when this came out (in 77 I think,)

I go through phases of getting all the recordings of artists I was either too young to get into when they were big or was too poor to afford all their stuff at the time.

I recently really got into The Faces, The Small Faces, The Kinks, Humble Pie, Sly and the Family Stone, Stevie Wonder (although that was a catch-up, I've always followed that genius), James Taylor, Gram Parsons, Otis Redding, the Rolling Stones (early stuff), BB King and Chuck Berry.

Steve Marriott joined a mate of mines band in the late 80s, I was at their first gig together at the 'Princess Charlotte' in Leicester.

Interesting fact: she wrote that aged 13!! That is genius.

Morten Harket holds the European record for the longest note held in a Top 40 pop song. During the song "Summer Moved On" Harket sustains a chest voice note for 20.2 seconds (8 measures).[1]

Not as long (quite) but not a single note either.

Talking about The Faces with Rod Stewart

I wouldn't have ever listened to this as a youth in a million years

This is just friggin awesome and I'm addicted to it

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

Major scale: C D E F G A B

(Every third note)
1st chord: C E G B
5th chord: G B D F

Errr Hmmph. Am I missing something? Those chords are every second note are they not?

Do you feel different listening to the same music today that you did years ago?

Still listen to a lot that I did, say 25 years ago
Eg; Stray Cats - maybe I appreciate Brian Setzers guitar playing even more now, if that's possible?
Restless - ditto Mark Harman)


Dave Edmunds - guitarist. writer, producer, multi-instrumentalist & played with a real 'legendary list'
his 'Subtle As A Flying Mallet' LP, is a wonderful Phil Spector tribute

Still got most of my Edmunds vinyl (7" & LPs)



Country?, I still listen to that in most forms
Some notables are;
Jerry Reed (absolutely fantastic guitarist)
Steve Earle (with or, without The Dukes)
Dwight Yoakham
Glen Campbell (vastly under-rated guitarist)
Dixie Chicks
Dolly Parton (don't like the '9 to 5' period, mainly the newer Bluegrass influences, but tracks like 'Coat Of Many Colours' still move me to )
Flatt & Scruggs
Johnny Cash
Waylon Jennings
Ricky Skaggs
Hank Williams (was he the first rock 'n' roll rebel?)
Carter Family
Alison Krauss

When I was young and a raging headbanger there was music that I would point blank refuse to listen to.
There are many bands and artists that fall into this category that I now listen to that I wouldn't have done and enjoy immensely.

The converse for me, Ian
Couldn't stand 'metal'/heavy rock, but now occasionally listen to Led Zep, although that's due to my being lead (ha!!) towards it by such collusions as Alison Krauss & Robert Plant?
Plus seeing Plant & Page(?) on Jules Holland, particularly when they once performed 'Gallows Pole'

I played some of my old LPs a year or two ago. 'Tommy' (The Who) and 'Relics' (Pink Floyd) made me feel so uneasy that I couldn't listen to them. I then put on one of my mother's Jim Reeves albums and it actually sounded quite good

Jim Reeves was always a voice that got to me, even as a 10 year old
So pure & refined

Stray Cats - maybe I appreciate Brian Setzers guitar playing even more now, if that's possible?

He's probably one of the worlds most underrated guitarists.
And, it was because of Setzer that I have the tattoo's that I have. I found out who the artist was and tracked him down. All my tattoo's were done by the same artist.
