Charles J. White Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 It wasn't. Like many British rockers of his generation, Pete Townshend attended art school. One of the concepts he picked up at Ealing Art School was "creative destruction". He decided the Who should incorporate it into their stage act and the rest, as they say, is history. I get it, but I guess I'm too middle class or from a blue collar background to accept smashing instruments in the same of art and fun. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think a lot of other kids felt the same way as I did growing up, maybe that is one reason why I took Zeppelin over The Who? I don't know, just throwing that out there to see what others think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made some great songs. I tried listening to Ten recently and it didn't do it for me like when I first heard those songs. I have never given the time to listen to Lenny Kravitz. I should give him a listen. Geekfreak I am saddened to hear that you are having health issues. You are in my thoughts. Yes please keep us informed. We care! Keep your chin AND your fist up!

I generally prefer Soundgarden because they have that power which I find very exciting, however, Pearl Jam has written some pretty cool catchy tunes. Hope things work out with the medical tests for you, keep pushing on! As far as Lenny Kravitz goes, he does a great cover here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LJpPeo5TC4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I guess I'm sort of a loser because I have never heard the term "Black Rock", to me Living Colour or Jimi Hendrix or Chuck Berry is just rock, really great rock music at that, but I'm not really sure I understand the term "Black Rock". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekfreak Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 ok Charlie J. the term is from classic rock magazine about the bands or solo musicians whom feature black musicians which mix the following the music styles of rock, blues, r&b, soul and a hint of pop. sorry if what I`ve written in the post, as this wasn`t written to upset anyone. I`m please you like living colour there a favourite band of mine, since hearing on sorry reading a an interview by Mick Jagger talking about them I then. went to watch mtv there the band where on the song was " glamour boys" from these I purchased the album "VIVID" the rest is history... I`m a music junkie I`m so opened to listening to any music a great thing to me is just that open-minded about most of what go`s on around my life in my everyday life, some of my best happiest times have been when I`ve been sitting on a wall, beach or walking with a halo of music soaking into me its great to be sitting watching the sea waves and the music in may player filling my mind that's amazing. there are times when its better to just view the landscapes all a round you... one other form of music which I`ve enjoyed since aged 14yrs old that's about no it is LOL `74, it was the first time I heard in a classroom an "OPERA" it was by Richard Wagner, I`ve been finding to buying/listening too many operas... out and about looking for vinyl/cd`s which would later at home give me a pure amount of pleasure its always a "secret Garden with music" ...
