I'm a huge follower of Rock Music.. the variation in its themes and its range is what hooked me on to it.. I'm a big Fan of LINKIN PARK... they are just too damn good..

Apart from that I follow Limp Bizkit, Iron Maiden, Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Nickelback, Evanescence... the list goes on.. Among the classics, Bon Jovi, Metallica and Pink Floyd.. they are gods

Cheers

Hey Guys,
Count me in.
How the hell does people live without rock.
Its not music,its philosophy.
Its a way of life.
It is rebellion.
It is freedom.

Favourite is Nirvana. Kurt Baba ki Jai!!!!!!!!!!!!
Started listening to rock with Bryan Adams( now now I know many rock fans get offended when BA is called a rocker,I get offended too but this was a long time ago)

Moved on gradually to Bon Jovi,then Aerosmith, then Eagles and then others.Then GNR,Floyd,Metallica,Iron Maiden,Iron Butterfly etc. etc.
Fell for Morisson dada and the love affair still continues.

As for trivia I have loads of it. Am not a quizzer for nothing.

Does anybody knows which is the most redone song in history?? ie this song must have been sung by atleast 10 different groups in as many ways without altering its lyrics in any way.
Answer to this in the next post.Till then you guys speculate.

whoops mistake,big mistake....
well first of all....ROCK IS DEAD?????
well dude we all know that according to the critics rock is dead.....but then is it necessary that we all stop listening to the music or for that matter start listening to whatever the critics say has arrived.....and lets not forget things do revive(like the bell bottoms of 70's and other stuff)so why not make a beginning who knows where this begginning might lead to.
well,one finds PINK FLOYD,COBAIN and METALLICA most of the times in these threads but then so does one find almost every cat aspirant wanting to be in iim's,that itself shows what repo. our iim's have.....so why say that u find just these grps. welll they r good isnt`it thats why u find it.the name of ur thread itself shows that u(i am presuming that)r also a follower of floyd,so now just to be differnt do u expect that we shud give the names of grps that we dont listen to.gimme a break
as for discussion continuing on the other thread(well that's what my mistake is,didn't go thru ur thread earlier),well no harms,no worries the discussion shud continue...HIC,ET EBIQUE doesn't matter....
continue rocking.....here or there doesn't matter.....

also why is rock music called so??


The earliest form of rock music was considered the one sung by Buddy Holly,Bill Halley and the Comets and other groups of that time.This was late 50's and early 60's and the music was very popular among youth.MAinly this kind of music was performed in parties where dancing was also involved.This kind of music came to be known as Rock n Roll,because of the dance that was happening.Rock n Roll reached its cresendo with Elvis Presley.

As time progressed and the age of rebellion came about,dancing began to disappear from rock n roll.It was the age of psychadelia,acid and many other forms of rock music.The youth began to identify themselves with this music and the age of anger and voilence found its voice in rock music.The 'roll' being dropped as dancing was no longer fit for this kind of music.

This is what I heard somewhere.Pour in your thoughts guys.

Linkin park is part of a generation of music which is most popularly called speed.Many of the newer bands are part of this culture.

i dunno if there is any spicy theory behind it, but U2's formation is just another story of bands n ppl meeting together

Larry Mullen Jr. (born October 31, 1961; drums) posted a notice on a high-school bulletin board asking for fellow musicians to form a band. Bono (born Paul Hewson, May 10, 1960; vocals, guitar), the Edge (born David Evans, August 8, 1961; guitar, keyboards, vocals), Adam Clayton (born March 13, 1960; bass), and Evans responded to the ad, and the group formed as a Beatles and Stones cover band called the Feedback, before changing their name to the Hype in 1977. Shortly afterward, Evans left the band to form the Virgin Prunes. Following his departure, the group changed its name to U2.
