You can actually hear, damn near feel the resonant heads on the drum. Lots of Led Zepplin as well. Guitar fret slides and bass slaps. Vocal imperfections, etc.

I'll never forget that feeling... at live concerts... literally immersed and enveloped by the vibes. It was mystical...almost magical.

All part of the awe and wonder back then.

Quite a collective experience. Another thing cell phones have ruined.

I remember hearing a news report earlier this year about Bob Dylan - not my cup of tea but hats off to him for this.
On his last tour here in the UK as everyone entered the building they had to place their phones into a sealed bag which was returned to people on their way out.
Don't know about the specifics of how it worked but a great idea!

The Tubes - White Punks on Dope.

Rock and Roll was murdered

Rock isn't dead. There are plenty of rock bands out playing the bars, beerjoints and festivals end of covid, people want
to dance and get laid.

Much to early to call the demise of "Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll"

a reply to: Freeborn

Yea, bands have been trying but of course, can't get them all.

Comedians too.

a reply to: olaru12

I have a tee shirt - "Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls"

Also "Dark Side of the Button Moon".

If anyone remembers Button Moon"?

Rock and Roll was murdered

It was absolutely murdered.

Name a modern movie or tv show with a rock sound track?

All rap now.

Rock and Roll still lives with the musicians that know how to play and perform it. Most of the crap today cannot hold a candle to real talent and musical ability. Technology does not replace talent, although they tried very hard.

dam straight.

Don't know if you'll be able to watch it over there but SAS: Rogue Heroes.

Just finished watching it.
Not many shows I watch but I'd been persuaded by a good friend to give it a viewing - pretty good and a Rock/Punk soundtrack.

There was a deliberate push to get rock off the radio and all the stations started changing genres with a deliberate push to rap and pop music

They were after our culture. I remember when you would flip through radio stations and always had at least 4 or 5 rock stations to choose from and a couple of Classic rock stations then you could switch to AM and get a couple more stations like Z-ROCK. Now there is one Rock station and one Classic Rock station and they play the same songs

+1
who determines what the radio stations play? I remember a WKRP episode where the owner was thinking about bringing in an outside consultant to determine format / playlist. are a bunch of stations doing that?
I suspect ownership is an issue. we used to have independent / locally owned radio stations. now seems like they're all part of different media collectives.

and this new generation of music is awful. as soon as I hear fake handclaps I change the channel.

TDC brings up a good point; the music industry will say that they are giving the kids what they want, but how can the kids choose when all the stations are playing the same stuff?

like a lot of things in the USA these days (old guy rant) today's music is awful. there's good stuff out there but good luck finding it on the radio.

so in keeping with the conspiracy theme...was this because a handful of record execs made stupid decisions? or is there some kind of agenda behind it? and if so, Who?

there was a scandal back in the day with DJ'S

pay to pay.

i can't dig up the name at this second.

it was about who got air time.

a reply to: sarahvital

Payola.

a reply to: neo96

Iron Man?

Ac/DC?

Armageddon - Aerosmith?

And so on.

a reply to: sarahvital

I saw Johnny back in the late 80's - just jaw dropping talent. Another one I would put in that category would be Dick Dale. He was tough as nails and kept playing right up until his death at 81 despite numerous health issues.

Name a modern movie or tv show with a rock sound track?

first ones off the top of my head should be obvious,

Stranger Things. 80's tunes

Supernatural, last show was in 2020 and just about all their episodes had classic rock and roll tunes in the soundtrack.

Suicide Squad originals and covers

Captain Marvel, originals and covers

and there are a butt load of commercials that use classic rock.

how far back do you conciser modern movie 5 10 20 years? cause there's lots of movies and shows that used classic rock tunes from 2000 up.

for me this tunes sums it up till the day i die,

i was a big motown fan growing up.

mom listened to frank and dino.

dad was country.

i got into jazz in my 20's.

i like all music until i hear one i don't like.

Same here. Good music is good music. The hell with everything else.
