Red Hot Chili Peppers are a Californian rock band whom has combined aspects of funk and hip-hop with rock and roll, pioneering funk metal. The band started in 1984. From the time they formed in the early 1980s, the Red Hot Chili Pepper have played an innovative blend of punk, funk, rap, and metal. While they gained most of their notoriety for their energetic shows as well as their battles with addictions, their sound exerted a strong influence on alternative rock throughout the 1990s. With various members undertaking solo projects or touring with other bands, and their lack of permanency in the lead guitar spot, the Peppers always seemed on the verge of breaking up.
A perfect example is of The Beatles song “Hold Your Hand” in contrast comparison to Glee’s version. The song is different in regards to the singer and band members, the time-frame in which the song is sung and, the overall mood of the video. Although the words of the song are same it’s obvious that it can have different meanings. The first difference I noticed in the two videos was that the Beatles were a group and harmonized as one. The Beatles consisted of four young men, all of whom could write, sing, and play multiple instruments very well.
How did ‘The Basement Tapes’ influence popular music in the late 1960s? The Basement Tapes, released as a studio album in 1975, was an album consisting of songs written and recorded by Bob Dylan and members of The Band in 1967. These intimate, ‘home-grown’ recordings, penned and taped in the “basement of a nondescript, three bedroom ranch house,” in Saugerties, NY reverberated across American and English folk, gaining popularity through interpretations by Manfred Mann, The Byrds, Peter, Paul and Mary and many others, as well as through countless unofficial bootleg copies in circulation long before the official release in 1975. At a time when psychedelic rock was taking over the airwaves, the recording sessions in the basement of ‘Big Pink’ (so named for the colourful exterior), involved Dylan and The Band returning to the authentic feel of folk music, emphasising simplicity and honesty, stripping the music back to its roots. These recording sessions saw Dylan return to the acoustic guitar after his controversial ‘plugged-in’ performance at the Newport Folk festival two years previously.
<BR> You can barely read a magazine or flip on the television without hearing about one of these new hip-hop/rock groups. Media such as Rolling Stone and MTV treat these bands like miraculously they created this "new" genre of music. Bands such as Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, and Sugar Ray are treated as creative geniuses when they are only doing things that have already been done before. Some of these new bands are very talented, but bands such Run DMC, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rage Against the Machine, blended the seemingly mismatched flavors of rap and rock with brilliant results long before any of these bands had ever even seen a turntable. <br> The earliest example of this mix of hip-hop and hard rock, came in 1985 with the release of Run DMC's "Rock Box".
Led Zeppelin Research Topic Led Zeppelin was an English rock band active in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Formed as The New Yardbirds in 1968, the band consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham. Led Zeppelin are frequently recognised as the progenitors of heavy metal and hard rock and they have also had a significant cultural impact. In 1966, Jimmy Page joined the blues-influenced rock band, The Yardbirds, replacing bassist Paul Samwell Smith. Page wanted to form a supergroup so he and bassist Chris Dreja began putting a new line up together.Terry Reid (Page's first choice for lead singer of the band) suggested Robert Plant, a Stourbridge singer for the Band of Joy and Hobbstweedle.
This essay will consist on how these musicians took control of America and the impact it gave to us. Their energy came across the screen and caused young girls to scream and their fathers to protest. The Beatles came to New York City on February 7,1964,less than three months after the assassination of J.F.K. In his book “The Beatles Come To America” Martin Goldsmith states that and the band brought with them a sound that hadn’t been heard before and helped rouse the country out of mourning. John Lennon wrote over 70 of the songs by himself, including A Hard Days Night, Let It Be, All You need is love, Come Together, and I Am the Walrus.
On the right side of the stage crouched low over multiple racks of effects, pedals, guitars, synths and bizarre homemade “instruments” is the ugliest british citizen to ever become a millionaire, Jonny Greenwood. While anyone with an opinion about music would most likely agree that Greenwood is a brilliant noisemaker, his musicianship spans the gap between popular artists and classical composers. Greenwood has done (specifically in the last five years) very extensive composure for film, his band, and also BBC television shows. It is arguable that his work on Paul Anderson’s film There Will Be Blood was the calcification of his creative genius, at least in the minds of western-world film appreciators. Realistically one could say that had the film’s score been composed by someone else, it may not have been nearly as successful.
I think it's a really great song, because on the surface, it just like a daft kids' song, but the lyrics are great. For me, you know, I find very deep meaning in the lyrics, which Ringo probably doesn't see, but all the thing like 'resting our head on the sea bed' and 'We'll be warm beneath the storm' which is really great, you know. Because it's like this level is a storm, and if you get sort of deep in your consciousness, it's very peaceful. So Ringo's writing his cosmic songs without noticing.’’ George Harrison, 1969 Recorded: 26th, 27th April; 17th, 18th July 1969. Producers: George Martin, Chris Thomas Engineers: Jeff Jarratt, Phil McDonald.
Led Zeppelin were an English rock band originally formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page under the name "The New Yardbirds", based on Page's previous band, The Yardbirds. The band formed when Jimmy Page (guitar) recruited Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin), and John Bonham (drums). With their heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound, Led Zeppelin is regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal and hard rock music. However, the band's individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one genre. Led Zeppelin did not release songs from their albums as singles in the UK, as they preferred to develop the concept of "album-oriented rock".
The story of Ono and Lennon became an icon of the XX Century, summarized in numerous public appearances, famous phrases. Nude pictures and album covers, it was a reflection of great music, a lot of antiwar activism and much controversy. In one of these photos, the couple was dressed in white four decades ago in front of the "Gibraltar Peñón" - she was wearing a mini-skirt and wide-brimmed hat, he was with a long hair, his typical glasses and a jacket, holding the certificate of marriage. The next week they were in Amsterdam in their honeymoon promoting their political activism, the "bed-in for peace" with a beatific face, surrounded by flowers and in the middle with his guitar and a lot of messages of "Hair Peace" and "Bed Peace". Other controversial photo was about a idyllic blue sky with a white cloud which they wanted in the first album cover of the Plastic Ono Band, recorded live at the festival
