Metal.

They're a good band- but hmm.. I guess it's like a defining feature in the band? Hard to put into words, I suppose a great band- ie great musicians and a great sound:

Led zeppelin for example:
Robert plant- fantastic vocalist
Jimmy Page- one of the greatest guitarists (top 10 of 100 of all time i think.)
John Paul Jones: Very good bassist and also provided other instruments into the songs too
Bonzo: Incredibly drummer- #2 of all time - I'd say #1 but bah

There's a fair few of modern bands I like and would listen too but I don't really see any as "wow that's incredible" with the exception of foo fighters/aerosmith/white stripes/the stones (if i'm classing them as still alive- i'm sure they're doing voodoo to keep themselves alive )

Also neil you was telling me hendrix was a crap guitarist yesterday and that you could probably do better than him so hmm :rolleyes:

Well if youre going to go by that crappy Rolling Stone list, Radiohead actually have 2 guitarists on it. Jonny Greenwood being the main one (watch this video and show me where you've heard something like it). He's even a composer in residence at the BBC and recently won the Listener's Award at the British Composer Awards for his 18-minute piece "Popcorn Superhet Receiver"

Nah, not singularily by the rolling stones list, looking at quite a few and also on personal opinions too: that solo's good yeah, he reminds me of Jeff Beck for some reason..

that rolling stones top 100 was pretty shocking, wasn't cobain at like number 15 or something?

Jeff Beck solo- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE8I5seKJjM

Dunno why greenwood reminds me of beck but bah.

I hope for music's sake that that's a joke.. seriously I'm crap at guitar but I'm better than Cobain. He confessed that he only knew 3 chords or something.

Nah, he actual was a pretty decent guitarist, there's some demos and live tapes of him warming up and he really is pretty good, he just doesn't play like that in their actual songs. He claimed he couldnt write.

Gym class heroes are growing on me and i'm hating myself because of it



I sort of agree with you there.. you're only giving like an "incredible drummer" though.. there's not a good combination kind of thing? I like greenday/bit of slipknot and blink 182, wouldn't rate them incredibly high though- I prefer corey's stone sour stuff compared to slipknots

Well I was in a rush and only thought of decent drummers that came to mind. In my opinion Slipknot has some rather talented members on each of the instruments, not just Joey(although he is reknowned) there are also members like Mick Thompson who plays the guitar really well. Slipknot really did change metal and brought this nu-metal scene into metal and many bands were influenced.
Rage Against The Machine - They had some great musicians especially on guitar from Tom Morello. Influenced a lot of bands and also did something that most bands haven't and didn't do at the time. They changed a lot of music and influenced plenty of bands. Another band that are fairly recent and have impacted music.
RHCP - I can't ******* stand this band. However many people do like their music, quite a different style of music it is aswell with those funky beats(But man are they are a pile of *****). Despite me not liking the band, they have a good balance of musicians allover. Their bassist(Flea) is world reknowned for his style of bass mainly as he is great at slapping. Their drummer is also very good and has quite a different style as he includes a lot of funk into this 'funk-rock' band. And the vocalist Anthony Keidis, he has a very distinct voice but also is very dynamic in the way he can change the tone and beat of his voice for their very different songs/albums.

I have just named 3 bands and given a fairly good description, all of which have impacted music and THEIR genre of music they play. Although I didn't describe them, Blink 182, Green Day and Radiohead are other clear and fine examples of bands that have not only influenced many bands but changed the whole genre they play in and set the standards high. In response to Ezzie and how "classic rock bands gave so much more" well sure they did, but most musicians have moved on. Most bands today won't be influenced by musicians from these classic rock bands. That's because this classic rock isn't around much and people are having much more defined music genres in the way that they play. You can call those classic rock bands great and sure they influenced many people, but don't deny that those bands I have listed have influenced many people aswell as also bringing a new standard to their music genre.

Rage against and the chillies rock? They've influenced so much, more so on rage against's part.

but are you now comparing blink 182 to say jimi hendrix or led zepp?
:s
