Last entry

Now I know that a lot of you aren't really interested in heavy metal or in any rock band that I've talked about but If you did take the time to read my blogs i appreciated it and for those left a comment or two i also thank as well. This will be my last entry and with every ending comes a grand finally. Or in rocking "Encore" is when you give a bonus jam to your audience at a concert. It also means that the crowed likes your style in music and makes them want to listen to your songs more often. Now for all you metal and/or rock lovers I will leave you with three songs that I personally love and are in my top 10 most listened to songs. Each song will blow your minds out and show you true music in history of both genre of music. With out any delay here is the 3rd place song.  This is "Back In The U.S.S.R" by the Beatles.


What did you think of that...Maybe something faster is more listened to right? Here is the 2nd place song, "Dance of Death" by Iron Maiden.


As you can see the album covers of their songs gives the heavy metal impression. And last but not least here is the 1st place song *EXTREMELY LONG DRUM ROLL* "Sweating Bullets" by MEGADETH.


Hoped you guys liked my blogs. Goodbye.

Green Day

Now you guys might not know this but Green Day  is a trio. Billie Joe Armstrong is singer and lead guitarist, Mike Dirnt as bass guitarist and Tré Cool as drummer. They are a punk/alternative/pop punk rock band and they are extremely talented for a trio. Now they started in 1988 with Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt who played some songs at Billie's mom's work and from there started their career. Later on, Cool heard about them and was interested to join them as drummer of the band in 1993. They won the all eight music awards in 2001 California's Music Awards.

Personally, I think they are pretty good and they are great to listen to since they talk about politics, nations, personal life and many other subjects. Something to add about there history that I found interesting is on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Day if you are intrigued to find out more about them. They are still on tour and have came out with new songs like "Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns" that are big hits. And last but not least and like all my other blogs here is a picture and a song for you all to listen to. Enjoy.

Collective Soul

This is an alternative rock band that has started in the 1990's and are still playing now. They became famous after performing their song "Shine". They are a really calming/amusing to listen to since they talk about anything. Now since they are a new band there isn't much to talk about so I shall just give you guys a little bit my opinion about them. Personally, I like the lead guitarist and the drummer since from my point of view they basically give the band a really good beat. My favorite song by Collective Soul is "December".

 The song, to me, talks about taking a break and to stop worrying about life orelse you'll be hurting yourself and everyone around you. Now that might not be what its really talking about but even if that ain't the story line behind the song, its still pretty good. They have a better future ahead of them since they have a better creativity than most newer rock bands and for that I give them credit since most bands of today. What I mean is that they don't stay on the same subject because they talk about life and in life there is more than just relationships and breaking up.

So heres a picture and enjoy the video.

Bon Jovi

Now here's another rock band you probably heard of. Now to give a little info on them here is a link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_Jovi. I don't know a lot on there history but what I do know is that they talk about the good and the bad times in life that happened to them or to others. What I do know is that Dave Sabo (Part of the band Skid Row) used to play with Bon Jovi until he was replaced by another bassist named Richie Sambroa. Their first album came out between 1984-85 called "Run Away". They became a really popular band after having troubles starting it. In the late 70's and early 80's, Bon Jovi was switching from band to band with David Bryan. They went all around New Jersey's clubs and studios to no success, until Bon Jovi convinced the director of the radio channel "The Apple". That's basically what started the band. It took Bon Jovi to put his voice on air to intrigue others to join his band. Tico Torres joined soon after followed by Richie Sambroa. Personally, I ain't a big fan of Bon Jovi but I do like some of his songs since they help boost your confidence in yourself if you ever need it. Now here is my favorite song by Bon Jovi, its called "Livin' On A Prayer"

Jimmy Hendrix

Now out of all groups of rock you know, count on Jimmy to beat them all in the consummation of any type of drugs. He is a big hit during his concerts were he would grab his guitar, hump it a few times then lite it on fire. The backfire to this is that when he's all sobered up, he can't play any of his songs for reasons like and from my point of view "HE WAS PROBABLY HIGH WHEN HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE SONGS!!!!!" Jimmy Hendrix mostly talks about love and whatever else he can think of that sounds great to his ears and to my ears as well. He plays the guitar and sings his songs. He sang blues type songs and all of his songs had a rhythm to it. That type of rhythm that makes you feel relaxed and happy. He toured around most of the U.S and England. But in September 18th 1970 he was found dead in his apartment in London, England. It was ruled out that he was assassinated by Micheal Jeffrey who forced Jimmy to take a type of drug named "Vesparax" and a mixture of alcohol which caused him to drown in his own vomit. He was only 27 when he died and so he was placed in the "27 club" that commemorates all rock artists that died at the age of 27 for example Kirt Cobain. now here is the song "All Along The Watchtower" by your friend Jimmy.

Pearl Jam

Now this peculiar band has been a big hit during the 1990's and even today you might hear about them if you go to any local guitar shop. They are in the grunge type of rock and from the magasine " US Today" is quoted as they are consisted of  Eddie Vedder that sings, plays the harmonica, the ukelele and the rythm guitar. Mike McCready who plays the lead guitar, Jeff Ament for basse, Matt Cameron as drummer and Stone Gossard as another Rythmic guitarist. Personally they are a great band to listen to since they are mostly open to most ideas and they basically help out one another with writting lyrics for thier songs. Now from Wikipedea, it sais that their were four other members that were part of the group for a certain time. It was four different drummers first off is Dave Krusen in 1991, then Matt Chamberlain in 1991, followed by Dave Abruzzese in 1994 and finally Jack Irons in 1998. They started with Ament and Grossard who were in their own band called "Mudhoney" until Andrew Wood joined and they renamed the band as "Mother Love Bone" until Wood dies of a drug overdose before the release of they're first album "Apple". To honour his death, Chris Cornell from "Soundgarden " and made an abulm with the rest of the group. Now back to Pearl jam itself. The name was inspired by the story of Eddie's great grandmother named "Pearl" and one "Jam" came from the inspiring Neil Young who played "Jams" of ten to twenty minutes long. And now they still play to this day to show some of their great hits. Here is "Last Kiss" from Pearl Jam to you.

Aerosmith

Now all of you should know about Aerosmith. They are one of the best rock bands to have ever existed in this world and they know how to make better love music than any other band that talk about love. They are mostly looked up to for theirs songs that talk about mostly anything that either involves love or sorrow. They started in 1970 with Joe Perry (The lead guitarist) and Tom Hamilton (The bassist). Steven Tyler, the signer, Joey Kramer at the drums and Ray Tabano joined soon after, but in 1971, Tabano was replace by Brad Whitford. Personally I think it was wise to kick Ray out since he wasn't really that great as back up guitarist. I'm not sure why he got kicked but he must have been horrible or high. Either way they made their first album in 1973 with "Eponymous Debut Album" with the record company  Columbia Records. They made many platinum albums like "Get Your Wings" in 1974 and "Toys In The Attic" in 1975 and in 1976 they came out with "Rocks". Now that is most of what I have learned about them now from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosmith, I learned that because of drug addictions and disputes between the band members,  Joe Perry and Brad Whitford left in 1980. Miraculously they both came back in 1984 after sobering up and finally getting along they came back into the rocking business and climb for the rock and roll hall of fame in 1993. Now to give you a taste of their success, here is  the song "Toys In The Attic".
