jclalor 12 #36 March 2, 2012 Quote Quote Quote Classic Rock 'n Roll is early Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry... It morphed into Classic Rock sometime around 1963. I believe Rolling Stone magazine credits The Kinks with leading the transition. ***Nope. That was sub-genre of Rock & Roll - "Rockabilly" usually (but not exclusively) refers to the type of rock and roll music which was played and recorded in the mid 1950s by white singers such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, who drew mainly on the country roots of the music.[33] Many other popular rock and roll singers of the time, such as Fats Domino and Little Richard, came out of the black rhythm and blues tradition, making the music attractive to white audiences, and are not usually classed as "rockabilly."

Carl Perkins turned-down the chance to record 'Blue Suede Shoes' for Sun Records. They offered it to a new kid named Elvis Presley. Elvis' recording went to the top of the charts. Perkins recorded it later with mediocre response. Perkins stated later that he regrets not recording the song when he first had the chance.

Elvis' recording went to the top of the charts. Perkins recorded it later with mediocre response. Perkins stated later that he regrets not recording the song when he first had the chance. Chuck, I never knew that. I've heard very few songs that can equal or top the original... and, in some cases, I really wish people wouldn't push them out if they can't meet or beat it. It ruins the original for me. I can tell you that in those cases where I've heard a remake of one of my many favorites - my tendency is to not even listen so it doesn't ruin it for me. I was surprised when I walked into a friend's house and heard David Cook on American Idol do a remake of "Eleanor Rigby." Literally stood there ready to put my hands on my ears a howl at the moos (prolly why I don't watch AI)... but he did a great job [IMO] of making it new and I thought that even Paul McCartney could appreciate this kid.

If 1 is equal to "A," and 2 is equal to "B," and 3 is equal to "C," then, A != B and C is = to the end of time as we know it.

"Eleanor Rigby" remake by David Cook. BIGUN, I recall seeing Cook do his version on AI. I was impressed then and re-viewing the video, I am still impressed. Carl Perkins did a great job on 'Blue Suede Shoes' also but Elvis was too big by that time. On the other hand, Elvis did a great re-make of the Big Mamma Thornton song; 'You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog'. There's a young girl on AI now, who did a version of a Carey Underwood song and knocked it out of the park. It's the rare person who can make a hit of a re-make of an 'original'. Some, music should just be left alone, too. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #48 March 2, 2012 Quote Quote The birth of heavy metal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Really_Got_Me www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvyDWGF290M Well, I'll agree with Robert Walser that it had an influence, but seriously who invented heavy metal; The Kinks wearing the Austin Powers suits or Mars F'in' Bonfire? "Heavy Metal Thunder" is right in the lyrics! Whereas, "You Really Got Me" I can't decide is about a guy who's just been dumped or whose girl won't give up the balloon knot. Either way, it's just another love sick song. It's a bit harder than what the Beatles were doing at the time, but the subject matter is about as pedestrian as it gets.
