haha. so, let me do the fourth question.
and, we're suppose to create our own issues on the fourth post.
so, let me think, what i can write about.
well, i guess i'll be writing about this.
and please,
comment on it.
4. what does hard rock means to you?okay, first of all, i like listening to hard rock. i find it very nice to listen to.
:D
so, i'll tell you my point of views on hard rock.
the stylistic origins are from, rock and roll, blues rock and psychedelic rock. cultural origins are from united kingdom, during the 1960s. the typical instruments for hard rock is electric guitar, bass guitar and drums.
The term "hard rock" is often used as an umbrella term for genres such as punk, grunge, and heavy metal in order to distinguish them from the more radio-friendly pop rock genre.
there's three era in hard rock.
let me list the different kinds of bands in this three era.
:D
first era (1970s)
Led Zeppelin's third album, Led Zeppelin III was more pogressive rock-oriented than their second, but the heavy aspects of their music remained. In 1970,
Black Sabbath released what is considered the first heavy metal album, Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath's music was revolutionary even in hard rock; it was typified by dark lyrics, hard riffs and a heavy atmosphere, transforming the current hard rock into to an early form of heavy metal.
second era(1980s)
In 1983,
Mötley Crüe released the album, Shout At The Devil, which became a huge hit.
Van Halen's album MCMLXXXIV became a huge success, hitting #2 on the Billboard album charts. In particular, the song "Jump" reached #1 on the single chart and is considered one of the most popular rock songs ever written. However, 1984 was also their first to include the use of keyboards and synthesizers, marking a shift away from their original guitar-orientated style.
third era(1990s)
The early 1990s were at first dominated by
guns 'n' roses and
metallica. The multi-platinum releases of Metallica's "black album" and Guns N' Roses' use your illusion I and use your illusion II in 1991 showcased this popularity. But the popularity of such bands waned, as their music and attitudes became more decadent and self-indulgent. In 1991 a new form of hard rock broke into the mainstream.
by the time it enters 2000s, hard rock starts to decrease.
i know that lots of people dont listen to songs which are older then them. but, i really recommend you guys to listen to some of those bands that are being bold. thanks.
Labels: hard rock is LOVE
& i feel like everything i say is being swept away
