Remember when those guitar riffs were everything? Think AC/DC, with their classic album Back in Black. Even JJ realised the greatness of that one! What about Def Leppard? Guns'N Roses had November Rain, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, with amazing guitar solos. Let's not forget about Van Halen (who could forget them!). Balance was an ultimate album!

What is your opinion on the guitar rock of the 70's and 80's? And who are your favourite bands?

i listen to dire straits and queen, golden earring..ya name it. Guns n roses ofcourse to with paradise city and songs like that. Dont forget rolling stones, status qou.

I only listen to some songs of them..mostly their best songs though

Rolling Stones aren't as much old school, because they were still popular into this era...even Metallica are pushing it being called old school...

I love GnR though...November Rain is a beautiful song...*sigh*

why arent they old skool.....they are from that era and i consider them to be old skool even though they are still famous now.

If thats your opinion queen cant be old skool either

But Queen were from that era, and still popular now, Rollign Stones are from the 60's right through until now, releasing records...it's also a 'sound'...maybe I'm not explaining thos very well...

haha just explain it me okayz lol ... cause i am lost now

Old School is like The Old 70's and 80's rock with the guitars kinda squeeling and that sorta thing...like the Hair Bands...??? Does that help?

rolling stones from the 60's? is that true? nah never mind i am getting everything mixed up now...what about the byrds?

Nope...same kinda era...
Old School=Screeching guitars=Van Halen/Def Leppard/Poison/Alice Cooper/Guns NRoses...etc

I'm kind of lost . . . I like those bands you've listed there . . .

but I like the pre-old school bands even more as in 1970s/1960s . . . but hair bands are cool too.

I love Led Zepplin (not old school since they did form in 1968 but their music especially Jimmy Page's guitar licks are soooo good) . . . I could listen to them forever.

Neil Young . .. this Canadian rocker has played almost as longer as the Stones and is so influential.

I love the Stones too . .. they've been going strong since the 1960s where back then they competed against the Beatles. Mick Jagger. . . back in the 1960s he was a bit of a bad boy rock 'n' roller . . . I love the Stones did I say that.

Psychedelic rock is awesome . . . but that is confined to the 1960's and when the lizard king Jim Morrison of the Doors died in 1971 the music of the 1960's was lost (ahhh) and the Doors broke up . . . argh.

Post-psychedelic sounds from Pink Floyd are something I can't get enough of - it is Classic Rock but they belong in a class of their own . . .

Nope everyone I've listed are not old school/hair bands.

Let me list a few more artists: KISS, ZZ TOP (Southern rock boogie woogie/electric blues but makes me feel good, lol), Rush, Tea Party (my fav. canadian band but so not old school), 54:40, Aerosmith (how could I forget them), Sloan.

Did I forget KISS??? Bad K! *smacks forehead* I forgot Aerosmith!?!?!?!

*faints*

kiss also.....i only have i was made for lovin you song lol. I better study the era of the music songs i have lol

uhm europe is also from that era i hope. :D

I think so

Europe? I only know the continent... :unsure:

europe-final countdown, its a famous song lol

Oh...The Final Countdown! :lol: I know that! I didn't know the band though! Here we go see...songs help stupid minds! :lol:

Not entirely true..i aint getting smarter by knowing songs :lol:

LMAO! hehehe! But if I know the song and not the band, so the song helps! :lol:

Yea thats true..usually i know the band by knowing the song. Thats true though but i mix everything up lol

:lol: Well, especially with all the 80's one hit wonders, you know the song better than the artist! :lol: U Can't Touch this!

mc hammer..

okay i like toto also..africa :wub:

I was listening to my regular radio station this morning . .. on this day in 1975 was the day that KISS released their single "Rock and Roll all nite" .. . .

Just a nice bit of trivia to get me through today.

That's cool! Did you know that Gene Simmons is an Israeli?

Nah with gene simmons i think of his awesome big tonque lol :D

That was so classsic! I love that! Have you seen Robbie Williams vid for 'Let Me Entertain You'? He tried to do that, and I don't think he pulled it off, but that's just me! :lol:

No one can match that tonque of kiss lol....he is unique with doing that. Kiss is good though :D

:lol: Axle Rose roxs!!!
Guns'n'Roses have some sweet guitar work. November Rain is a total classic!!!

Plus there is paradise city from them also...yea they are good though.

There's also Welcome to The Jungle too,
and Sweet Child O' Mine - by Guns and Roses too ... yes they are great.

uhm knockin on heavins door is also good

Yes it was but it wasn't an original Guns and Roses song .... but a good cover tune. Bob Dylan did the original years back.

ohh well its the motto of some of the bands/singers today......better stolen a good song than to write an absolute shitty number.

November Rain was Bob Dylan :blink: Are you sure??? I know Led Zepplin covered Stairway to Heaven, and that was Dylan, but I'm sure NR was written by Axle and Slash?

Thats what i thought also but who cares i love the song......plus the title november is good my b-day month :reallyexcited:

:lol: I looked it up and it is deffinately a GnR song.

well thats cleared up lol...but i love that song..

whats more old skool uhm....did i mention golden earring?

Not November Rain. I was talking about Knocking on Heaven's Door.

NR is my favourite G and R song .....

I remember one Golden Earring song ... Radar Love ... I have to confess that I don't know much about them though.

I only know Radar Love, now that you've mentioned the song! :lol:

Another 45 miles, twilight zone, radar love, burning stuntman, the devil made me do it, when the lady smiles.
