Mr ExcitmentShould mention that the "Reet Petite" vocalist was Jackie Wilson
Rock N Roll
- Thread starter Fun For All
- Start date
Eddie..i believe you are referring to Guess Who
I enjoyed alot of their tunes..but my fav was the under the radar Life In The Blood Stream....kinda Blue Eyed Soul marrying Doo Wop
Yes it was, I was not referring to The Ban with Levon Helm, my bad. I did see them at the old Concord Tavern on Bloor St.
Never heard this before I enjoyed. Still it doesn't touch this Guess Who masterpiece. In my opinion one of the greatest rock songs of all time
"Undun"
Burton's vocals are simply divine. The drumming, the jazzy guitar are not far behind. Its an absolute criminality that they have not been inducted into the RRHOF.
It's difficult to pick between Burton Cummings and David Clayton Thomas.
A harmonically perfect song and yet The Youngbloods are a one hit wonder. Never heard this song before Forrest Gump.
RIP John Rutsey.
He had Type 1 diabetes, his tour dates were limited. Neil Peart wasn't initially part of Toronto's music scene. He was born in Hamilton and grew up in Port Delhouse. I've always wondered where Lakeside Park was, it's the Port Delhousie penninsula before St Catherines.

Randy Bachman, lead guitarist for the Guess Who, was taught guitar by his friend and jazz great Lenny Breau when Lenny lived in Winnipeg.
Randy studied the famous Mickey Baker Jazz Guitar Books 1 & 2 which had chord variations that were way too complex for me...
Hence the chords in "Undun", though for most of their songs he used regular rock chords.
Saw MC5 live in 1970 in a small club in New York City.
My ears were never the same...

Three guitars (left to right: Fender Mustang, Jazzmaster, Stratocaster), no bass?

Finally showing some love to JP Jones. I tried playing it, my left hand cramped up.

Crazy world of Arthur Brown
Was the most influential album of 1968 for me. Genius album. Not one weak track. Even had a song about Apple. Very poignant for me. My last summer in England. Was depressed tonight and listened to it.

Roberto, Arthur Brown's keyboard player was Keith Emerson. Hard to believe she's blind.
Rock is dead. I regret that I never saw Bob Seger live, wasted too much time on Bruce Springsteen.
He did the honourable move and retired.

I always equated Eddie Money to Dudley Moore's neighbour in the film 10. There are very, very few songs better than this one.
