Foo Fighters covering AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock"

There are several such videos/recordings, but here's a BBC one:

Screamin Dave!

Friend sent vid. Screamin Dave!

And drums!

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Jimi Hendrix Experience Radio One jingle

https://m.

it surely gets the job done. Love the ways it looks at the history of rock.

It makes good good sense!

Quite the banger ain’t it?

Was great. Got a lot of good music in this thread!

"if I really say it
The radio won't play it
Unless I leave it
Between the lines"

Also the Entertainer by Billy Joel
"It was a beautiful song
But it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05"

but I dig it for the playlist!

Rebellious!

And here's what happens when you sing the Christmas carol over the music of the heavy metal song...

right after "veteran cosmic rocker"

even though I *loved it* in my teenaged years. Actually, it was probably in my top twenty or so tunes at the time, ie. 15-18 or so. Keeper!

I remember it now. Been ages since I heard it, so thanks! Love the groove.

but always dug this on the radio, at friends’ places, etc. And like the Wussy song, about rock saving a young persons life.

Used to play this one in a band myself. Thanks for reminder!




Bonus connection: RD plays bass on this track by Todd Rundgren…..

...co-musical director for Cyndi Lauper on the True Colors tour.
Dave Rosenthal (keyboardist for Rainbow) was musical director before Rick signed on.
Dave wanted to just give the title to Rick, but Rick wouldn't have it. So, they shared the title.
The other 3 in that band were monsters.
Rick played a Steinberger for pretty much the whole show. Played a Strat on a couple & acoustic on at least one.
He got some wonderful clean tones out of that guitar.

songs about being in a rock band. Cool. Might have to be a playlist of its own.

Onto the playlist you go! Thanks!

I play piano in rock cover bands and lister to CB a ton to get Johnny Johnson into my mental landscape.

Patti Smith

That drum pattern and playing is intense! Double kick I guess?

Anyway, new to me, so thankee kindly!

As hinted at elsewhere in thread (Derringer’s R&R Hootchie Coo) I’m a pretty big Todd Rundgren fan and he produce this one. People my age tend to forget just how huge they were at one point. HUGE crowds.

On the radio I always turn this one up, that’s for sure!

Also digging that Woodstock jacket he’s sporting at the show itself. Classic!

sounds from him. Great add, my friend!

Pure raw energy. Love it!

and harmony arrangement, just like always. Def making the playlist!

intact on these, that’s for sure. First one sounds dang near country.

Love a topic/theme music thread!

This is one of my favorites:

Always loved this version. A head, myself. Play keys in a couple GD All Stars sort of projects 3-4 times a year (strictly part time on big deal, really, but I do get to play with some musicians way above my pay grade from jam-centric original bands in the St. Louis area.) Anyhow, just really got this one into my hands this summer.

And what kind of fan would I be if I didn’t answer with this one (dig the rapid meltdown on this one):

I’m surprised this hasn’t been posted yet. Seems to have been a common theme for Bowie…

This song is always on my playlist!
