Rock N Roll Hall of Fame 12:A Night to Remember
Posted by prashant prasiante at 12:48 AM 3 commentsMonday, February 20, 2012
Rock and roll hall of fame has always been one of the most
talked about, honorary and controversial rock n roll element. It takes an
artist 25 years from their first album to be inducted into rock and roll hall
of fame. The best thing about Rock and roll is it doesn’t only induct the
artist but also the people who have helped them gain the fame by working behind
them including producers, engineers, songwriters, media persons and record
executives. Likewise it also honor those musicians who have served music industry
with their music staying out of the spotlight like backup musicians, session
musician and concerts backup musicians. The first rock and roll induction
ceremony was held back in 1986 with the early pioneer of rock n roll being
inducted like Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, The Everly brothers and “the king” Elvis
Presley.
The year 2012, seems to be much more interesting in rock and roll hall of fame
with the bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and Guns N Roses
headlining the ceremony. Many people are eager to see the induction ceremony of
Guns N Roses. They have been inducted in their first year of eligibility. Many
still question themselves, Will guns and roses reunite for one night in
Cleveland? The open feud between Axl Rose and Slash is no secret to any music
lovers. The band who started their career in 1987 with their biggest selling
debut album “appetite for destruction” did not even last long up to mid 90s.Now
Axl Rose is the only original member remain in the band. As a music lover myself,
I can surely say Guns N Roses were the dynamic group of Slash , Axl Rose , Duff
Mckagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum and Izzy Stradlin. The new lineup didn’t even came
close to the original members.GNR redefined hard rock and the so called rockstar
persona. When the band started no one even would have thought that band will
last for such a short time but in that short time band gave us some of the greatest
music of lifetime .So, it will be so interesting to see will they reunite again
or not?

EVOLUTION OF ROCK
Posted by prashant prasiante at 3:20 AM 1 commentsThursday, February 9, 2012
As we all know, rock music is and always been one of the
most popular and established genre in music culture. Now days when we watch music
channels like VH1 and MTV, we can clearly see the change in style of rock n
roll. What was rock music 50 years ago and what it is now is one interesting
question everyone wants to know. So, I am just trying to put a light in some of
the major elements that helped in the evolution of rock music.
Rock music was actually originated in late 40s when blues and country music where given new sound by the use of electric guitar and drum beats. But 50s is known as the decade where rock music gain attention. The fusion of blues, jazz and country with new sound of electric guitar became one of the fundamental music genre of that period. Talking of the early rock pioneers, we can name Elvis Presley on top along with other artists like Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
New age of rock (60s)
60s was the time when America was introduced to the British Invasion
and soon British Invasion overcame the music culture of America with the band
named as “The Beatles”. The reason for me for making Beatles one of the most talked,
popular and influential band of all time is because they took the music that
was created in late 40s and made it a whole different things with more melodic
and psychedelic music and make that genre their own, thus giving birth to the
new age of rock music. Following the path that Beatles polished and carved, many
new bands and artists began to rule the world by their music. Bands like The Rolling
Stones, Pink Floyd, Cream, The grateful dead and Jimi Hendrix and experience.
This is the period when hippy evolution was originated and soon became popular
counterculture movement. Because of that, drugs and sex became one of the most
prominent topic for the lyrics and necessity for the rock stars. Similarly,
with many bands following rock music, new sub-genre of rock started to originate.
Psychedelic rock and blues rock was popularized by Eric Clapton, The Doors and Jeff Beck and Progressive rock was made
popularized by Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and The Who, whereas folk rock
was gaining fan following due to artists like bob Dylan and Janis Joplin. In
the year 1969, First Woodstock festival was held in which many artists like
Santana, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, The Who, Sly and the family stone
performed and was headlined by Jimi Hendrix.
Rock Evolution and Mainstream Success (70s and 80s)
Rock Evolution and Mainstream Success (70s and 80s)
Likewise, 80s is best known for the establishment of metal and hard rock. Bands with tight leather pants, jackets, bikes, insane hair styles and faster guitar solos like Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Poison, Whitesnake and Def Leppard were topping the chart and playing large Arenas. Similarly, in early 80s, fusion of funk, rap and heavy metal created the genre like funk rock or metal. Red Hot Chili Peppers can be named as early pioneer of funk metal. Alternative rock also came in attention with the bands like REM, Sonic Youth and later Nine Inch Nail and Jane’s addiction help to popularize the sound. Likewise, another biggest evolution was the evolution of thrash metal. Four big names in metal scenario Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and mighty Metallica revolutionized the genre that black Sabbath created decades ago. Thrash metal created their own style of music with bone crunching riffs, faster solos, and over the top attitude. The rivalry between glam metal and thrash metal was talked about topic in the 80s.
Evolution of Alternative
and Grunge (90s)
NIRVANA AND PEARL JAM(PIONEER OF GRUNGE) |
As we can see people walking around with t-shirts of bands
from 70s and 80s and their playlist full of the old school music, we can say
rock music from the past decades still exists. Still old bands who helped to
shape the music of rock n roll are active and getting more recognition with
help of hall of fame and Grammies honoring bands that helped in the evolution
of rock music. Heavy metal has now many sub genres like death metal, black metal,
hardcore metal and nu metal and the bands like Children of Bodom, Cradle of
Filth, Cannibal Corpse, Slipknot, Norma jean popularizing the sub genres.
Alternative rock is still active with the bands like Foo fighters, Coldplay, Incubus
and Nickelback who are giving us good music keeping alternative rock alive. Likewise,
pop rock has become very popular among the audience now a days with the artists
like Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boys and many more on the list.
Thus, rock music has passed through many eras and decades to
be as influential as it is now. Everyone who loves music can’t forget the gift
and music of Beatles that they gave to us. Every single artists who is now in
the eye of media, charts and awards are somehow influenced by the past bands
and artists. Without the founding bands and artists of rock music, today’s
artists like Katy Perry, Rihanna and kids like Justin Bieber wouldn’t have been
in existence.

THE DECADE OF ROCK: 80’S IN MUSIC
Posted by prashant prasiante at 7:09 AM 11 commentsSaturday, February 4, 2012
I LOVE 80s LOGO WHICH WAS MOSTLY USED IN T-SHIRT |
Likewise in
the 80s, many bands revolutionized the hard rock genre in their own style. R&B
and hip hop broke into mainstream with the group like Prince, Run DMC, Beastie
Boys, LL cool J, Public enemy, Freddie Jackson became successful artists and their
music become dominant cultural movement throughout the decade. Likewise
alternative rock was popularized by the bands like REM, The Pixies, and Sonic Youth
and also was dominating with different style of Alternative pop, Industrial
rock, and Noise rock genre with new bands like Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction.
Post punk band like U2 and new wave music with bands such as Dire straits and Duran
Duran were also prominent music in 80s decade. But post punk act didn’t last long
and were disbanded after mid 80s to add the element in creation of alternative rock.
Similarly, one band of four college friend named Red Hot Chili Peppers didn’t
achieve much commercial success till their third album in 1987,” The Uplift Mofo
Party Plan”, but they did get noticed for the fusion of funk rock and the
combination of rap rock and heavy metal guitar tone which later influence the
band like Rage Against the Machine, Korn and Limp Bizkit.

As a whole, 80s is the musical era or decade most of the people want to hear and feel again because of some of the greatest live acts and bands with loud, aggressive attitude, and over the top music.
