Ladies and gentlemen if you want to learn the ins and outs of shock rock, you need to go to the master "Alice Cooper" Check out some of his videos and early performances such as "Welcome to my Nightmare" Enjoy the duet below of a diciple in Maryln Manson with the king of shock rock.
Several artists have crossed the line and brought about great changes in music as well as our attitudes. The Beatles, Elvis, Nirvana, and even the Tupac Shakur. However, the one I think caused the most stir and almost single hand brought punk rock close to main stream was Sid Vicious. His talent wasn't great and his singing lacked so much that he wasn't even the lead man in the Sex Pistols. However his character and this take charge attitude came through on the song MY WAY. I have attached the video click for those of you who might have never seen Sid Vicious perform. The star that he build was short lived as so often happens with people are not ready to become this famous. However the testament to his legend lives on as I still see young people wearing SID VICIOUS shirts and listening to the music. I really hate that Sid Vicious was the face of Punk Rock because so many other great bands and artist came out of that genre. Watch the clip and then do some research into other great punk bands. The Sex Pistols were the main band but so many others such as The Dead Kennedys, The Meat Puppets, Generation X, make awesome music. Well enjoy the clip and do some slam dancing if you like.
For all of you out there getting ready to start a new band or just get your first gig. Help us out and post some of your work on our show. You might get someone to follow you that might help you out at a latter time. Not to mention you can tell all your friends to check it out.
Just wanted to let anyone out there that loves music, you have to listen to The Ramones. One of the best groups ever and they stood the test of time. I cannot count how many albums they are out and they just kept getting better with age. For you other Ramones fans you have to get a watch the movie "Rock and Roll High School" This gives you some great shots of the band and lets you hear their voices and really shows you how tall they were. Do yourself a treat tonight download some Ramones songs and jam out the rest of the night.
Well we just have a few more days until our band champion is decided. Make sure you get on all the sites and vote. We want to make sure the public states their opinion. I am having such a great time viewing all the acts and artwork. I am amazed at all of it. Keep it coming people and just keep rocking out bands.
