Cliff Burton Pros And Cons

     During the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was a new wave a British Heavy Metal entering the cassette and 8-track decks of people everywhere. Over in Denmark, current Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, was a hug fan of this type of music. So obsessed with this music, Lars Ulrich wanted to start a heavy metal band... a band that he could play his favorite

For as long as I can remember, my dad always had his music playing. In the car, in the house, everywhere. In time, his music became my music; and it still is. Though my dad’s music taste was vast, his staple was Van Halen. Little did I know how much that band would shape me as a person. While most fans were in love with David Lee Roth, (the singer) I was all about Eddie Van Halen; the greatest guitarist in the world. The greatest because to me, he isn't just a guitarist. He’s an innovator, a genius, and one of my biggest role models. While I think all art is powerful, it’s all subjective, and to me, Eddie Van Halen is the perfect example to why art is so powerful. For he has created the passion, perseverance, and creativity that lives inside me today.

The vocalist and guitarist of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century, impacting both the musical and cultural realms. Jerry Garcia was fated to become one of America’s most influential people ever since he was born into Jose Garcia’s household. During his childhood, Jerry Garcia lived in an environment that fueled his musical development and experienced many events that pushed him closer changing the path of American music and culture. Jerry Garcia was a member of the American 1960’s counterculture and really embodied the ideals and goals of the group as a whole. Thanks to the influence of his adolescent development and his

Van Halen was the quintessential 80’s party band before the 80’s were even a thing. Runnin’ with the Devil is a biography of the band, Van Halen, from their start as a band with a record label up until the departure of David Lee Roth, their frontman, in 1985. So far, the book has looked into their start as a backyard party band in Pasadena, California, with Eddie Van Halen, a master on guitar, his older brother, Alex Van Halen, the drummer who was the backbone of Eddie’s riffs, Michael Anthony, the bassist who brought a jazzy tone to their songs, and David Lee Roth, the frontman who brought the California to the band. Back then they were drawing in crowds of at most 300 people. Eventually, they were discovered by Warner Brothers Records, who

In hindsight, all of these artists were the foundation of what lies on the horizon, a revolution that would evolve into a dynasty that hasn't been seen since the Renaissance and one unlikely to be repeated. Just as these artists were influencing me, they were influencing others ─ others with vastly better skills than I could ever fathom. On the smaller stages of the Los Angeles club scene, a band was mixing the sound, style, and showmanship into a cacophonous stew, gently boiling and carefully molding all the elements and preparing to unleash it on the unsuspecting music consumer. Although they didn’t know it at the time, it would be something which would change the very face of rock music and the artistic journey of guitar players everywhere.

He can play slow ballads, he can glide through a classical guitar solo on nylon strings, or he can shred a gnarly blues solo on an electric. One song that exemplifies this quality of his playing is his Austin City Limits performance of Autumn Leaves. It shows his jazz influence, but at the same time he incorporates classical soloing technique alongside his signature Travis picking. It is truly quite the display of musicianship. This versatility in his playing has personally inspired me to be the best I can be as a

The group was formed in 1965 by bluegrass - enthusiast Jerry Garcia on guitar and vocals, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan on vocals and organ, Bob Weir on guitar and vocals, classical music student Phil Lesh on bass and vocals, and Bill Kreutzmann on drums. From the beginning, they brought together a variety of influences, from Garcia's country background to Pigpen's feeling for blues (his father was an R&B radio DJ) and Lesh's education in contemporary serious" music. Add to that, the experimentation encouraged at some of the group's first performances at novelist Ken Kesey's

Jack Black convinces an audience during his speech that Led Zeppelin was the greatest rock and roll band to have ever played. He gave three major points to prove how amazing they were to him. Jack Black was dedicated to the band by supporting and listening to all nine albums that he said, “at least every true fan must do in a lifetime.” He was passionate by interpreting every song and inferring that some of the messages spoke of love or prehistoric people. Also he was flabbergasted by how much talent they hold.

With such inspirations as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Thin Lizzy, Hetfield quickly knew that he wanted to become a rock star. He started his first band, Obsession, with Jim Arnold on guitar,

Garcia disapproved the belief that a leadership style must be hierarchical by proving that his leadership approach was even better. Support is one of the most significant pillars of love and trust in transformational leadership. Garcia was always there for his band members when he was needed. He handled challenges appropriately when they came on the way such as the death of Ron McKernan who was the original piano player. Garcia in 1973 also supported the foundation of Dead’s record label and finally a recording of The Grateful dead movie two years later (Barnes et al., 2013, p. 745).

His voice has an intensity to it that makes you enraptured by his singing and his song; and to make it even more interesting, Little Richard hits notes that normally doesn’t sound good when a male artist sings them. There are multiple instruments that help make this song a hit like the piano, the tenor sax, the baritone sax, the bass and the drums, which makes a person admit that the skill of the vocalist and his band members is amazing to listen to; but in the end, the most musically challenging part of this piece is the tenor sax solo that bridges the first half of the song to the

This style was first launched into popularity by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones with their song, “Let’s Go Trippin’.” Dick Dale brought Middle Eastern and Mexican influences to the typical rock and roll style. In addition, he used a reverb-drenched electric guitar which was played to evoke the sounds of crashing waves. This style inspired many artists to take up the approach.

Not only will this paper carefully study the pop culture surrounding Saul Bass, but will of course acknowledge the life and work of Saul Bass and the overall influence this

The turning point for the new music came when the group Led Zeppelin was formed. As the book "Hammer of the Gods" points out, the members of this group were constantly high on every kind of drug imaginable. When they toured, they vandalized hotel rooms, throwing TV sets and furniture into the streets. Very young girls were tied up and sodomized, group members taking turns, and a photographer from Life magazine, assigned to photograph Led Zeppelin as they toured, was nearly raped by band members in a hotel room. Yet Led Zeppelin became the most popular group of its time. In fact, a whole generation was raised on its music. Throughout the 1970s, the music of Led Zeppelin was the anthem of American high school kids.
