I have to admit, I've heard that song so many frickin' times that I could play it with my toes while sleeping, but I will have to bust out the vinyl before seeing TTT
It's truly one of the greatest songs in rock and roll. Overplayed at times, (Stairway to Freebird anyone?), and one of those songs every guitar player learns to impress girls (guilty), but all for good reason.Dalton wrote:It's one of the most beautiful and powerful songs I've ever heard.

But I still rock out to the second half of Freebird. Remember Wayne's World?Drewcifer wrote:and one of those songs every guitar player learns to impress girls (guilty), but all for good reason.
Tell me about it. I hear it almost every day and it's usually either the live version or the awesome live performance from The Song Remains the Same (which I have never seen but do enjoy more than the studio version, a rarity. "Do you remember laughter?").Drewcifer wrote:It's no suprise that 20 some odd years later, it's still one of the most requested songs on the radio.
Hmm, it's the first half of 'Freebird' that I really love. Is that me just being a chick again?Dalton wrote:Hah, I hear thatDrewcifer wrote:It's truly one of the greatest songs in rock and roll. Overplayed at times, (Stairway to Freebird anyone?),
You're not the only one brutha (guilty again). Too, every "top 100 rock songs ever" show I've heard on the radio ends with #2 Freebird, and #1 StH.Dalton wrote:But I still rock out to the second half of Freebird.

I saw Skynrd once, and that was the general reaction in the crowd when they played it. All the women were swaying and singing during the first part, and all the guys were playing air guitar by the end.Zaia wrote:Hmm, it's the first half of 'Freebird' that I really love.

but an awesome show all the same. Still have the t-shirt somewhere... Original Warsie ++ Smartass! ~ Picker ~ Grinner ~ Lover ~ Sinner ++ "There's no time for later now" Nah, probably more of an emotional difference. You love hearing the words, probably, since they stir certain emotions, but I love the music since it emotes, for me anyway, far more than words ever could.Zaia wrote:Hmm, it's the first half of 'Freebird' that I really love.

What about VH-1? I remember the #1 bands, but not the #1 songs.Drewcifer wrote:You're not the only one brutha (guilty again). Too, every "top 100 rock songs ever" show I've heard on the radio ends with #2 Freebird, and #1 StH.Dalton wrote:But I still rock out to the second half of Freebird.

No, I'm not old enough to have see them before Van Zandt died
haha the three of us have high-jacked this thread quite nicely, haven't we?
Do you remember how VH-1 compiled the list? This isn't flamebait, but I wouldn't put AC/DC in the top 20. Trust me, I love AC/DC -- I wore out a vinyl copy of Back in Black in high school -- but IMO, there's a great many other bands/artists deserving of the #3 spot.Dalton wrote:What about VH-1?

Bands..hmm...IIRC, the top three were AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix and Zep as #1.
Original Warsie ++ Smartass! ~ Picker ~ Grinner ~ Lover ~ Sinner ++ "There's no time for later now" VH-1 compiled the list by sending questionnaires to bands and singers and shit, I think.Drewcifer wrote:Do you remember how VH-1 compiled the list?

AWESOME!! Supertramp rocks, dude!!!Next of Kin wrote:I can only think of one right now. Breakfast in America by Supertramp.
Supertramp is pretty good for a nice, mellow 2am road trip. A nice wind-down band for meZaia wrote:AWESOME!! Supertramp rocks, dude!!!Next of Kin wrote:I can only think of one right now. Breakfast in America by Supertramp.
It's a bit more early 90s (sounds odd, but Alice does move with the times).Rathark wrote:I bought "The Definitive Alice Cooper" in October. How does the album "Hey Stoopid" (1991?) compare with his early stuff?innerbrat wrote:Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid
