RE: Beyond the Beatles: a bit of good music from the 60's
The Beatles influenced an entire generation of musicians. That british sound that they formed with the Stones repercussed decades of music in the island an all around the world.
They even composed the first metal song!
I think that this bands that was formed around the idea of the Beatles just make them look greater.
Yes they even opened the door for the punk movement to arise, but for bands as Rainbow and AC/DC, I feel their inspiration comes more from the kinks and the Who than for the Beatles. I personally am against any kind of idolatry for any band or musician. Nothing in music happens out of a context, and there are a lot of social, cultural and business factors that also helped their success.
Without saying that at the beginning the Beatles just copied all the american music that came to Liverpool. They actually become artists (in the sense of looking for new things and create) right after their sudden success in the USA.
For the first metal song, which one would it be? And under which criteria?
Well, I was talking about Helter shelter but there is I Want You (She's So Heavy) too. The riff, the structure and the tone of the voice in Helter Shelter remind the early metal, and the end in I Want you is pretty standar for the genre. But you can discuss that and I won't blame you, there is a full argument about that.
All good musicians also take all the inspiration for somewhere, they just give it a different approach, and yes I'm pretty sure that without the influence of american music after and during the length of the band it wouldn't be "The Beatles", and that was the circunstances that made them great, because they were great at some points.
They had the opportunity to push the rock limits. I didn't mean that they influenced AC/DC or Rainbow, just that the form that they played music reach places that no one before had reached.
indeed, my idea is that we appreciate the uniqueness all great musicians have brought, I don't like it when people idealize an artist... I knew I want you, but the other one was a discovery. And it's true it sounds heavy (and a bit out of tune sometimes hahahaha) at least for what will be the heavy metal of the 70's 80's, because then there are sooooooooo many types of metal were we can discuss.
But in the end it is not about who's right or if this sounds metal or not, it is about enjoying the music, getting inspired and create!
Pues creo que podemos estar de acuerdo con eso. Los artistas son una mezcla de muchísimas cosas, muchas de las cuales no están bajo su control, pero lo que quería rescatar era el fenómeno que se formó alrededor de los 4 de Liverpool, que definitivamente fue más grande que ellos mismos.
Y sí jajajajaja Creo que es Paul el que desafina tanto cantando. No dije que fuese buena, solo que parecía metal jajajajaja.
En eso último tienes demasiada razón, realmente no importa quien tiene razón en estas discusiones sobre géneros (aunque realmente a mi me entretienen bastante) Lo importante es tomar las cosas que están al alrededor de uno y poder construir y entender más y más música (y disfrutar en el proceso).
Hacía tiempo que no hablaba de Los Beatles y en el post montaste una banda que no conocía, muchas gracias por eso :D Buenas vibras para ti.
si es verdad! definitivamente ellos tuvieron un gran rol en la musica, pero porque se pusieron a hacer musica, no a discutir sobre si el pop es mejor que el country o lo que sea, por poner un ejemplo... a mi me aburre la gente que se pone en ese plan de que si es death metal con rock progresivo e influencias de modern jazz pero con vocals de pop, quiero decir que importa al final? Y muchos por hacerse los muy cultos dicen cada burrada...
