This highly kick ass concert by Faith No More
-
I know some aren't as crazy about Clapton's sound in the '80's, I used to be one of those people, but I've been converted, I've really been digging the tasty solos (and other musicians) on this track lately - great stuff.
-
For the most part, I think the Doors are massively overrated - on a par with the Beach Boys, as possibly the most overrated bands of all time.
I disagree, though all the Doors albums have songs that range from just good to brilliant (whereas the first 6 Zep albums were pretty much brilliance all the way through). The Beach Boys were very good musically, but lacking lyrically. However, when it comes to most over-rated, no offense to any of his fans but I think Johnny Cash is the most over-rated recording artist I can think of.
-
Like I said, no offense intended whatsoever but going by the original post in the thread, I gathered it was meant to share our thoughts and recommendations about current artists. In other words, new artists that are currently creating, releasing and performing new music.
Well, maybe we should wait to hear from the original poster, as the wording in the OP is not quite as strictly defined as that.

I am honestly not trying to be rude so please don't take this the wrong way but this thread is for current music. If I'm not mistaken, The Smiths broke up in 1987.
Oh , my mistake I took the thread title to mean what are our current music recommendations - or what are we currently enjoying. etc. But seeing as The Smiths did just release a re-mastered box-set, they are kind of `current`again, I guess lol.

The Smiths - Barbarism Begins At Home. A killer track in so many ways, this is one of those bands that when I listen to them they restore my faith in the artistic integrity of rock music.
-
I will never get sick of The Doors, one of my all time favorite rock bands and I discovered them right around the same time as Zeppelin. I've been listening to LA Woman (the album) a bit lately, great album. I think The Wasp is an under-rated song, and L.A Woman and Riders on the Storm are at the moment my two favorite Doors tracks.

One of my guitar students has hinted that he's getting us tickets to see Brian Setzer, who I would obviously be thrilled to see. I'm also rather excited as it seems every show this guy goes to he somehow manages to meet the act. He is personal friends with Jimmie Vaughan and the last show I went to with him I got to meet one of the greatest blues players in the world - Walter Trout, as well as his opening band - Trampled Underfoot (not a Zep cover band, though they did cover Rock n' Roll).
-
Lately I've come to the conclusion that the greatest rock band in my mind after Zeppelin is possibly The Smiths. They remind me of Zeppelin in a way because they were a 4 piece band formed by a songwriting partnership between lead vocalist and lead guitarist, yet all the members were rarely gifted at their instruments and vital to the bands all around sound.

He sure has had a lot of incredible guitar moments, but his solo on this Robert Johnson track may just be the finest piece of blues playing Ive heard.
-
The Doors- Yes, the River Knows
-
Can I have a guitar lesson?
See that'd be perfect because then Id get way more questions.
That is one man's brain Id love to pick.

Im reading a Stevie Ray Vaughn biography called 'Caught in the Crossfire', Im also reading a book called :Science of Being and Art of Living: Transcendental Meditation
-
first of all, thanks a lot for the effort.
second, i belive that there is more in it.
do you think that wikipedia might be wrong?
i mean listen to it...the feel and the way its played is just like a guitar...
Ive been blown away by that harmonica solo for years, (and the drums) but I think its just a combination of great playing and great production. There are a lot of harmonica players that can get their instrument sounding like a guitar. A few years ago I saw a blues duo called Roy Rogers and Norton Buffalo, and the harmonica playing was a lot like that. The dude sounded almost like Stevie Ray Vaughn on his harmonica, like bending sounds and incredible sustain to the notes. It was very similar to when the levee breaks, but you dont hear it as much on their recordings, because the production is different. The backwards echo adds a lot to Zeppelin's version, no doubt.
-
Im 99% sure thats just a regular harmonica and that Robert Plant is playing it, not Jimmy Page.
Edit: ok its just a regular harmonica played by Plant, but the track was slowed down to create a 'sludgy' effect, and backwards echo was also added to the harmonica by Page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Levee_Breaks
