Rock music research \m/ Depicted here are 3 legends of rock music Slash from guns and roses and velvet revolver the one and only Kurt Cobain and the unmistakeable Jimi Hendrix
This part of the research is about old rock bands covering magazines as we are doing a project on magazines I thought it would be appropriate some of these bands could be seen as the pioneers of the rock genre those that have paved the way for the young pretenders so this is basically a short homage to them A Blast from the past \m/ This magazine is about a classic rock band called Pink Floyd. They are known for there psychedelic rock music in the 60s and 70s . Sid Barret the lead man died in 2006 by mental illness. Pink Floyd is one of the most successful psychedelic rock bands in history. This magazine is about Guns and Roses. The band formed in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. including over 46 million in the United States.
Nirvana What’s the first song you think of when you think nirvana.... Smells like teen spirit? I'm guessing 90% of people think of that song but this band was so much more then that they were ridiculously underrated especially when they have such rock anthems such as lithium and serve the servants heart shaped box and many more the band consisted of the unmistakeable Kurt Cobain who tragically took his own life and was known to be fighting some demons Dave Grohl who many people would know as the lead singer of the foo fighters and finally Krist Novoselic. Nirvana did something that not many groups have done they carried a whole social movement on their backs people known as the ‘grungers’ were mostly if all nirvana fans now that nirvana is gone the grunge genre and movement is certainly dead.
Radiohead Radiohead are known for their unique brand of rock music they are one of the few bands that are able to adapt to the times as they have recently released their album called ‘in rainbows’ which you can download for free and pay what you think the album is worth which gives you the option of just not paying at all Radiohead know this which means not only do they have complete confidence in the product that they are putting out for the millions of fans out there but to them its not about the money but about the music Radiohead could be seen as one of those bands that have never really sold into the idea of commercialism. The amazing thing about Radiohead is that this is a band that to many had reached the pinnacle after the real breakthrough album Pablo Honey which has been followed by great albums such as The Bends. They somehow find a way to create classics that survive through the ages like Creep Karma Police and My Iron Lung three Radiohead songs that are highly recommended
Oasis What can I say about Oasis... A band that never shuns itself from controversy in fact probably thrives and feeds of it. A family band consisting of the two Gallagher Brothers are a journalists money maker as they always seem to want to pick a fight with someone. In the 1990’s Oasis had a well documented war with Blur another band full of ego’s and maybe would have done a lot better if that wasn’t the case. Oasis absolutely blew Blur out of the water and then they shot to fame all around the world with great songs like Champagne Supernova (a personal favourite of mine) wonderwall which has become a timeless anthem along with don't look back in anger. Trouble however was never far behind the mancunians as they got into other high profile spats for example with Robbie Williams and Jay z . However it was the Gallagher's combustible nature which ended up being the reason for their separation as prior to a gig they got into a fight and since the 29th of August 2009 the band has been no more a sad way to end a truly memorable band
Guns and Roses The one ‘Glam Rock’ band that everyone wanted to be a part of they epitomise the rock star Guns and Roses are considered in some circles to be the best rock band of all time The band formed in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1985 led by frontman and co-founder Axl Rose has gone through numerous line-up changes and controversies since its formation; the current lineup comprises vocalist Rose, guitarists Ron Thal, DJ Ashba and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman. I told you everyone wanted to be in Guns and roses. Guns and roses have come up with songs that have just become synonymous with the rock genre sweet child o mine to name a few .
The Arctic Monkeys The Arctic Monkeys are personally my favourite band EVER! I am a huge arctic monkeys fan every British rock fan can remember the time when top of the pops was still on and they said a band called arctic monkeys was number one as we all watched in intrigue to see what the boys from Sheffield had to offer and we were not disappointed with what came out I bet you look good on the dance floor was an instant tune and still gets played on the radio to this day, the arctic monkeys came out with tune after tune fluorescent adolescent then mardy bum then brainstorm the plaudits just came flooding in and the great thing about the arctic monkeys is they modify their sound with every album and they still remain as great as ever you could say that they owe their fame to the social networking site MySpace which helped sky rocket their careers but to be fair a band with half the talent of the arctic monkeys should be stars as well as having a cult following they are acknowledged for their talent across genres even with dizzee rascal writing a song with them called temptation greets you like your naughty friend. There most resent album Humbug is in true arctic monkeys fashion succeeding and succeeding well.
Muse Muse the rock group from Dover was given the nick name the ‘new Radiohead’ now weather that is seen as a burden of or compliment its hard to tell especially with Muse who’s first two albums Absolution and Origin Of Symmetry were absolutely brilliant it came with tunes like Bliss and Stockholm Syndrome but did they peak to early? Muse tried to modify their sound they still are a big band who as built a reputation on their amazing live performances but as the albums came the less ‘rocky’ they became a mixture of pop and electro. Their new album The resistance is more the newer Muse then the older but fans like myself are waiting for the old Muse sound to come back as it’s missed.
Paramore Are they rock are they pop?... Who knows. But one thing is for sure is that they are a very popular band their first album RIOT! Was a complete success. And that album skyrocketed their careers and now our transatlantic cousins are as popular here as they are in America. There newest album Brand new eyes is also a success however to many Paramore have given into commercialism which to many hardcore rock fans is a criminal offence, as their songs seem to feature in every twilight film and since then they have had the dreaded ‘twilight fans’ all over them fans that don’t really know about the band but assume that they can call themselves a fan because a Paramore song was on a twilight film. Even though this has helped their popularity it has alienated the real Paramore fans as there seems to be a rift between the two.
Lost Prophets Does this band have one bad song? A lost Prophets fan is always guaranteed quality I struggle to think of one bad record that the lost prophets and yet they do not get the recognition that they truly deserve. Lost Prophets new album The Betrayed flew straight to number one and yet there wasn't even a murmur when it happened their previous album called Liberation Transition was a classic featuring songs like Rooftops and A Town Called Hypocrisy. But it always seems the case that great bands are never really truly appreciated in their time.
Enter Shikari Enter Shikari is a new British band which have hit England with a storm their mix of screamo rock techno and generic rock has gathered many fans. Even though to many Enter Shikari is a new band they are in the process of their third album their first two being Take To The Skies and Common Dreads. Enter Shikari will definitely succeed in England but I'm not sure about America because what Enter Shikari sound is like has never really succeeded in America Enter Shikari can be described as maybe to ‘Ballsy’ for America . Enter Shikari have songs that will automatically get you to sing along such as Solidarity and Juggernaughts WATCH THIS SPACE Enter Shikari will be the break out band they have a new song Thumper and a new album around the corner
Biffy Clyro The Scottish bands new album Only revolutions has taken England by storm with songs like Golden Rule and Captain. This is Biffy Clyro’s second album and lets hope they haven't peaked and they continue giving us quality albums like this. I honestly think this was the best British Rock album of 2009. check it out.
