<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".
Daft Punk grew interested in electronic music shortly before reaching the age of 18, which led Brancowitz to leave the group and create the indie band Phoenix. In 1993 Bangalter presented a demo of Daft Punk material to Stuart Macmillan of Slam that led to their first single "The New Wave". Bangalter also uses Bass guitar, synthesizer, vocals, guitar, drum machine, vocoder, programming and the talk box to create Daft Punk's music.

Daft Punk combines elements of house with synthpop and creates a catchy, glitchy, robotic kind of music with their later albums becoming more like their roots with a combination of rock and pop.
All the glitz, flash, and glamor that was becoming the blueprint for all rock bands in that decade was being replace with a more realer down to earth style that was more relatable with the current generation. That I need a ballet to sell albums theory was being burn, smash, and buried as Nirvana quickly rose to fame with a grungier in your face style. Nirvana was also was making music as a way to express their creativeness instead of a get rich quick lets wright a meaningless song scheme; which allowed them to stand out amongst a generation full of fakes. Merely a year into the 90’s, the epic songs of Nevermind became the lasting impression of rock during the decade. If it was for the unexpected death of Kurt, I truly believe Nirvana would still be a major force today in Rock and Roll.
They became quite famous following the recontextualization of British and American hardcore punk musical scene. Dead Kennedy’s debut album is fast and furious. From the first note of Kill the Poor you know you’re listening to something new and exciting. The appeal of the Dead Kennedys is they don’t
(This essay is on the book, The Beatles: Ten Years That Shook the World, and Paul Trynka is the author, or editor-in-chief of the book) Editor-in-Chief: Paul Trynka John Lennon, James McCartney, George Harrison, and Richard Starkey are the names of the four men who shaped the face of music. Most know them differently though as just John, Paul, George, and Ringo. When John originally put together his first band, The Quarrymen, he had no clue that he was destined to become the greatest mind in music history, nor did he know that one of his audience members, Paul McCartney, would go with him. The original Beatles though, were not the four men we all know of today, but were John, Paul, George, Stuart Sutcliffe, and Pete Best. The Fab Four we know formed like this: John added Paul as a guitarist, Paul introduced George and he too was added as a guitarist.
“Hurt” written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, a hit single nominated for the 1996 Grammy for Best Rock Song and conclusion to The Downward Spiral album. When you first look at “Hurt” on its own it seems like a suicide note about someone who is addicted to drugs and decides to give up on life, one critic claimed it to be “a desolate ballad of addiction and isolation” (Nate Chinen, New York Times), but to truly understand the song you must look at the entire album as a story, as the writer Reznor said during an interview for Axcess Magazine, “The order [of the album] was made to work as a climax and then go down a tube. That side has to work as a whole.” (Reznor, Q&A Axcess Magazine) The Downward Spiral begins with “Mr. Self-Destruct”, introducing the antagonist talking to the protagonist, both of with are personalities of the same person. The song opens with the line “I am the voice inside your head / And I control you” (“Mr.
The influence of N.W.A on Hip-Hop and culture N.W.A (abbreviation for Niggaz With Attitudes), was an American Hip-Hop group from Compton, California widely considered one of the seminal acts of the gangsta rap sub-genre, sometimes credited as the most important group in the history of Hip-Hop. It was active from 1986 to 1991, the rap group endured controversy due to the explicit nature of their lyrics, and was subsequently banned from many mainstream U.S radio stations. In spite of this, the group has sold over 10 million CD units in the U.S alone. The unapologetic violent and sexist pioneers of gangsta rap, is in many ways the most notorious group in the history of rap. Emerging in the late '80s, when Public Enemy had rewritten the rules of hardcore rap by proving that it could be intelligent, revolutionary and socially aware, on the other hand N.W.A.
For my second historical event, I will be informing you on the 9/11 terrorist attack on the U.S. which relates to the band through one of Green Day’s hit songs, Wake Me Up When September Ends. Green Day is an American punk rock band that originally derived from the band, Sweet Children, which the two 14 year olds Billie Joe Armstrong (lead guitarist, vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass; born Mike Pritchard) had formed in Rodeo, California. By 1989, the group had added drummer John Kiffmeyer and changed their name to Green Day. Shortly after the band released their first studio album, 39/Smooth, the band replaced Kiftmeyer with Tre Cool (born Frank Edwin Wright, III); Tre Cool became the band's permanent drummer. Later after playing in the band as a session and touring guitarist for 13 years, Jason White (guitarist and backing vocalist) became a full member.
He only practiced peaceful protesting. “Give peace a chance,” a song he wrote became the fuel for many peaceful protests against the war. I think the government felt threatened by John Lennon because of the impact he had on the protestors and how they looked up to him. John was treated like a criminal by the government for voicing his dislike of the war in a peaceful way. I don’t believe he was ever violent with his war protests.
In a copyright lawsuit that settled outside of court, the question still haunts the cares of the world’s copyright geeks. Who would’ve won in the court of law? On December 4th 2008 a lawsuit was filed against British band Coldplay by guitar rock hero, Joe Satriani, who claimed that “substantial original portions” from his 2004 rock instrumental, If I Could Fly, had been stolen by Coldplay to create their 2008 hit song, Viva La Vida. Viva La Vida made the #1 spot on the US and UK’s music charts which was a first for the band, not to mention, won a Grammy Award for song of the year. If I Could Fly however never made anything and Satriani was seeking damages for “any and all profits”.
