Loss of authenticity of real music

Bands like The Beatles,Led Zeppeling and Metallica, they have been ruling their respective generations,(Beatles 1960-1970,Led Zeppelin 1968-1980 and Metallica 1980-till now) they have left their labels,and their views on diferent aspects of life such as mental fluctuations,psychedelics,adolescence,rage,emptines, and have been succesful in anatomizing each and emotion that can exist and even those that cant

So apart from my abrupt introdustion,my main motive for making this blog is the loss of reall music due to wayward new muscicians who literally cant even spell music but tend to sing ,dance,ride sports cars,and so on for money


And the children love them, and so as they say the most flourishing is the most foolish,the most flourishing musicians like the new hip hop artistes,the pop artistes,etc have been found to the most foolish among living beings(yeah they cant even spell MUSIC)

So let me describe what real music is all about, and how childhood enthusiasm force children to hear the new SHIT genres


Here are the 3 greatest rock bands that ever existed




THE BEATLES

The Beatles' impact is all over today. Listen to pop music, whether it is a guitar lick, harmonies, song structure, lyrics, if you are of the age group noted before, you know where the influence came from. You hear their songs on ads now. There have been two movies where the soundtrack consisted of only Beatle songs (done as covers).

The concept of Beatlemania is hard to comprehend if you were not alive or were too young, or simply missed it. It was one of those things that you say, "you had to be there". No amount of words can even begin to show the impact of The Beatles. The Beatles DVD set is the best we now have.

If you are still in doubt, well, look at any ad with teenagers. You will see the early Beatle look, just more unruly. The long hair the band introduced is just one of their legacies they left. Like Beethoven, The Beatles will always be with us in their music and how they touched all of us in either a small or large way.



























LED ZEPPELIN


t is unmistakable that rock and roll would not be what it is today without Led Zeppelin. They introduced a whole new style of music and created several different genres of rock and roll in the years they played
together. Led Zeppelin was clearly one of the most important and influential music bands in the sixties and seventies.

Not only are they great in that they wrote and played incredible music, but they also influenced countless other artists to do so as well. Many of the bands that existed in the past, could exist in the future, or that exist today are either directly or indirectly influenced by Led Zeppelin in some way. Brian Hiatt wrote, "Thirty-seven years after the release of Led Zeppelin I, the band also continues to inspire generations of musicians" (par 1). One of the many musicians inspired by Led Zeppelin, Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam, says, "Led Zeppelin—I think that's the band we always looked toward" (Hiatt par 1). Steven Tyler of Aerosmith said that Zeppelin was incredibly heavy, and that they achieved this by working together and synchronizing different instruments perfectly, not by being loud, and that he tried to do the same (Wheeler par 22).

There are countless numbers of songs by new artists with links to Zeppelin, and countless more are accused of stealing from Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page has rightfully accused many people of stealing from him. He was particularly angry with the Beastie Boys, and even with some rap artists, if they can be called artists. Some even admit it, like in the case of Tori Amos






















METALLICA

From the ad they recruited Ron McGovney as bassist, but were unable to find a fulltime lead guitarist, which resulted in a number of guitarists like Brad Parker, Jeff Warner and Lloyd Grant.

The band name Metallica came from an idea by a promoter of the San Francisco metal scene named Ron Quintana. When Quintana asked Lars Ulrich to examine a list of names for his new magazine promoting British and U.S. metal bands, Ulrich picked Metal Mania for Quintana`s magazine and used Metallica for his band.

In 1983, Metallica recorded its first album entitled Kill Em All at Rochester, New York. Although the album did not produce them instant success, it did gave them exposure and a growing number of fans in the underground scene.

After a year, Metallica released a major hit song Ride the Lightning, which features a more introspective, slower and newer style. Although this song became an instant success, some fans were discouraged and accused Metallica of selling out.

After the release of Ride the Lightning, major labels wanted Metallica. However, the band chose Elektra and released Master of Puppets in 1986. Although Metallica failed to release any single for the 1986 album, it was still regarded as the album that gave way to their success breakthrough.

When Metallica was invited to open for Ozzy Osbourne, their album climbed up to Billboard Top Album Chart #29. Until today, many people still consider Master of Puppets as the greatest heavy metal album of all time.

When Cliff Burton was killed by a freak accident in 1986 at a European show, Metallica discontinued playing for a while until they decided that Burton would have wanted them to continue their music. A few weeks after Burton`s funeral, with plenty of auditions to replace Burton, Metallica finally decided on picking Jason Newsted.

...And Justice for All was the first album where Newsted played bass. With much controversy, it was released in 1988. The following year, Metallica 1988 album was nominated for its first Grammy. Unfortunately, Jethro Tull`s Crest of a Knave won the award.

Three years later, the band won a Grammy for Enter Sandman from Metallica`s 1991 self-titled album, also known as The Black Album. It instantly became a hit and became the band`s most popular song to date.

When Metallica entered the mainstream in 1991, they were able to sell over ten million albums in U.S. alone. It was in 1996 that Metallica switched to alternative rock for their Load album. Unfortunately, many fans were discouraged of the sudden change in music style.

In 1992`s Reload, Metallica produced a major comeback as a metal group and their worldwide fans hailed their return. Their success continued throughout the end of 1990s. However, in 2001, Jason Newsted left the band for personal reasons while James Hetfield stayed in rehab for a couple of months.

In 2002, Lars Ulrich, the now sober James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and their long-time producer Bob Rock who replaced Newsted continued in creating Metallica`s 11th album entitled St. Anger, which produced a more mature, honest and heavy sound that fans worldwide continue to love.

To this day Metallica is considered one of the true pioneers in heavy metal.

  • Joe Satriano
And so on.... sorry if i havent mention some more artistes,because the upper list was testing my memory skills, i lack it bigtime,so it is obvious i may have missed an artiste or two

the artistes mentioned and described above are highly inluential and prudent in their work,whether it be vocals,drumming or guitars...their mucila work tests your gray matter and even if you dont know so much about musical aspects,the music itselfs pruduces AN ALIVE feeling

Since the early to mid 90’s, hip-hop has undergone changes that purists would consider degenerating to its culture. At the root of these changes is what has been called “commercial hip-hop". Commercial hip-hop has deteriorated what so many emcees in the 80’s tried to build- a culture of music, dance, creativity, and artistry that would give people not only something to bob their head to, but also an avenue to express themselves and deliver a positive message to their surroundings..

Todays music scneario is comprised of music which gives you a false sense of style and showoff a.k.a, hypocrisy.
Retard music vidoes,sexually attractive videos,lyrics on sex all these factors makes a joke out of the world itself, we all are not perverts ,,, are we?


We dont need all that sexual content, i lost my curiousness for sex when i left pubert at 16
so that says it all

Lady Gaga (left) she can do literally anything to get your attention



















I am offending anyone,but the things today are desperate and i hardly expect another Led Zeppelin to rise and start a musical revolution



50 cent(left)
He isnt standing like that due to some badass attitude or gifted style and made up physique
he is doing so because his producer is paying him big time to do so
This is pure LAME















Well enough of these.



As they say the real potential lies in simplicity,it is true indeed, for example a simple blue jeans is always of higher price and more demand than a jeans with full of crappy stickers on it isnt it
but the music scenario is so bad nowadays that people choose the weird looking crappy jeans

I am taking of the 90% of people,the majority,and i know this little blog of mine wont change anything but its my statement.

But lastly, a true statement from my heart and that is

"I WILL STICK TO THESE MUSICIANS FOREVER,AND TODAYS CRAPPY EMO MUSICIANS CAN GO FUCK PIGLETS"

Again, i dont want to offend anyone, different people have different choices.. but the blog is for them who are pure showoffs and think that party time and dance floors are their lifes

P.S check for speeling errors,they are widespread

Kind of music!

Both Hybrid Theory and Meteora combined the nu metal[60][61][62][63][64] and rap rock[65][64] sound with influences and elements from hip-hop, alternative rock,[66] and electronica, utilizing programming and synthesizers. William Ruhlmann from Allmusic regarded it as "a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style,"[67] whereas Rolling Stone called "Breaking the Habit" "risky, beautiful art".[68]

In Minutes to Midnight the band experimented with their established sound and drew influences from a wider and more varied range of genres and styles, a process Los Angeles Times compares to a stage in U2's work.[69] In it, only two of the songs feature rapping, and the majority of the album can be considered alternative rock,[70][71] rather than nu metal or rap rock. It also is their first studio album to feature guitar solos.

In concert the band has covered songs by artists as varied as The Cure, Deftones, Guns N' Roses, and Nine Inch Nails.[citation needed]

Linkin Park's use of two separate vocalists has become a large part of their music. Chester Bennington is most known for using screaming vocals common in various forms of metal and hardcore, while also using more melodic singing, and was placed 46th in Hit Paraders list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists".[72]

Mike Shinoda is the group's MC and does all of the rapping. Mike has also done all of the backing vocals live, and in their latest album, Minutes to Midnight, he sings lead vocals on "In Between", "Hands Held High", and the B-side "No Roads Left". Shinoda has also been placed in Hit Parader's list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists" at number 72.[72]

Hybrid Theory(2000-2002)

Linkin Park released Hybrid Theory on October 24, 2000.[19][20] The album, which represented half a decade’s worth of the band’s work, was edited by music producer Don Gilmore.[1] Hybrid Theory was well received by music fans; the band sold more than 4.8 million records during its debut year, earning it the status of best-selling album of 2001, while singles such as "Crawling" and "One Step Closer" established themselves as staples among alternative rock radio play lists during the year.[16] Additionally, other singles from the album were featured in movies such as Dracula 2000, Little Nicky, and Valentine.[16] Hybrid Theory was also nominated for three Grammy Awards, including best new artist, best rock album, and best hard rock performance (for "Crawling").[21] MTV awarded the band their Best Rock Video and Best Direction awards for "In the End".[1] Through the winning of the Grammy for best hard rock performance, Hybrid Theory’s overall success had catapulted the band into the mainstream's attention.

During this time, Linkin Park received many invitations to perform on many high-profile tours and concerts including Ozzfest, Family Values Tour and KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas.[16][22] The band also formed its own tour, Projekt Revolution, which featured other notable artists such as, Cypress Hill, Adema, and Snoop Dogg.[18] Within a year’s stretch, Linkin Park had performed at over 320 concerts.[1] The experiences and performances of the precocious band were documented in its first DVD, Frat Party at the Pankake Festival, which debuted in November 2001. Now reunited with former bassist Dave Farrell, the band began work on a remix album, dubbed Reanimation, which would include works from Hybrid Theory and Hybrid Theory EP.[16] Reanimation debuted on July 30, 2002, featuring the likes of Black Thought, Jonathan Davis, Aaron Lewis, and many others.[23] Reanimation claimed the second spot on the Billboard 200, and sold nearly 270,000 copies during its debut week.[24]

aspect of Djing in this band




Hahn joined Linkin Park, after meeting fellow band mate Mike Shinoda in art school, when the band was called Xero in 1996 as the band's turntablist. Since then, he has directed music videos for most singles of Linkin Park, with the exceptions of "One Step Closer", "Crawling", "Faint", and "Given Up". He is referenced to as Mr. Hahn at the beginning of "Cure for the Itch" on the album Hybrid Theory as well as in "High Voltage" from Hybrid Theory EP and "Kyur4 TH Ich" from Reanimation. He has also remixed the band's songs "With You" and "Cure for the Itch" (originally on "Hybrid Theory"), which appear on the remix album Reanimation as "Wth>You" and "Kyur4 Th Ich".

On the 2007 album Minutes to Midnight, Joe Hahn focused his contributions on programming with his sound effects board and MIDI keyboard. Minutes To Midnight also features his turntable talents on five tracks: "What I've Done", "Wake", "Valentine's Day", " The Little Things Give You Away", and "In Pieces." Joe has been known to utilize MIDI pads on several tracks from the band. Examples include "Crawling", "Numb", and "Points of Authority".

History

Originally consisting of three high school friends, Linkin Park’s foundation was anchored by Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon.[1] After graduating from high school, the California natives began to take their musical interests more seriously, recruiting Joe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band, Xero. Though limited in resources, the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda’s make-shift bedroom studio in 1996.[1][15] Tensions and frustration within the band grew after they failed to land a record deal.[1] The lack of success and stalemate in progress prompted Wakefield, at that time the band's vocalist, to leave the band in search for other projects.[1][15] Farrell also left to tour with Tasty Snax and other bands.[16][17]

After spending a considerable time searching for Wakefield's replacement, Xero recruited Arizona vocalist Chester Bennington. Jeff Blue, the vice president of Zomba Music, had referred him to the band in March 1999.[18] Bennington, formerly of Grey Daze, became a standout among applicants because of his unique singing style. The band changed its name from Xero to Hybrid Theory.[16] The newborn vocal chemistry between Shinoda and Bennington helped revive the band, inciting them to work on new material.[1] The band’s renaissance culminated with a change in name; from Hybrid Theory, the band changed its name to Linkin Park, a play on and homage to Santa Monica’s Lincoln Park.[1] However, despite these changes, the band still struggled to sign a record deal. After facing numerous rejections from several major record labels, Linkin Park turned to Jeff Blue for additional help. After failing to catch Warner Bros. Records on three previous reviews, Jeff Blue, now the vice president of Warner Bros. Records, helped the band sign a deal with the company in 1999. The band released its breakthrough album, Hybrid theory




Basic thingies 2 know

Linkin Park is an American rock band from Agoura Hills, California. Since its formation in 1996, the band has sold more than 50 million albums[2] and won two Grammy Awards.[3][4] It achieved mainstream success with its debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005.[5] Its following studio album, Meteora, continued the band's success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world.[6] In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth greatest band of the music video era and the third best of the new millennium behind Oasis and Coldplay.[7]

Having adapted the nu metal and rapcore genres to a radio-friendly yet densely-layered style in Hybrid Theory and Meteora,[8][9][10] the band explored other genres in their next studio album, Minutes to Midnight.[11][12] The album topped the Billboard charts and had the third best debut week of any album that year.[13][14] They have also collaborated with several other artists, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mashup album Collision Course, and many others on Reanimation.[9]
