His mom was a gospel singer, and he started playing trumpet at a very young age. But when he was 10, he started drumming.\n\nMax Roach is one of my main inspirations for drumming. He practically invented bop-style jazz drumming.

They were a part of the "San Francisco Sound" where a lot of pathbreaking, innovative stuff took place.  For example, bands started writing THEIR OWN songs.  This band and others lived together communally in one house.  The role of the bassist(Jack Casaday(sp?) was more free and inventive.  The SF sound featured a lot of "jamming" that people take for granted today....multiple lead singers and band songwriters... the "thing" that bands do is play "songs"and Jefferson Airplane's songs and those of their contemporaries have become classics....contrast this with many of today's bands and one could argue that many of today's bands CAN'T:write good songs, play their instruments in a variety of styles/influences, ARRANGE their songs or come up with their own style....HOW MANY of today's bands will be known in 10 or 20 years?????Where is TODAY's Hendrix, Beatles etc????

Never cared for it back then. I like my metal REAL, not w/ hairspray.\n\nYou need a dose of 80s Metallica & Slayer, man...\n\nADDENDUM:\n\nWell since we're doing this via threads, you need a few things asked & pointed out. You said:\n\n"you know what i couldnt help noticing that you came and answered my question for your info i do like heavy metal also but dont go bad mouthing the 80s cus motley crue gave metallica there first break when they let metallica open them"\n\n \nOk, Right- where in my reply did I bad mouth the 80s? \n\n2nd, if we're talking about bad mouthing something, can we also use your bad mouthing of punk thread as a real example?\n\nNow, onto Motley Crue. I never bad mouthed them specifically, did I? I bad mouthed hair metal in general. Truth is, I kinda like the Crue...but you, of all fans, oughta know they TOTALLY ripped off 70s UK bands like Sweet & Slade. Same exact style pumped up 80s style. \n\nIf we're gonna do any comparing, Metallica are *light years* ahead of MC in terms of originality. \n\nAlso, where are MC today? Where are Metallica? See where this is going?

I don't know about the answer to your question, but the two bands were related in another way as well: Aldo Nova keyboardist Tommy Zvoncheck played synths on the Blue Oyster Cult's "Club Ninja" album in 1985.

I think it was creative differences.  The rest of the band wanted to ease up on the political message and focus more on the music, he wanted to focus more on the politics and less on the music.

It was a caveman named Og who first created music by hitting rocks with sticks. He created rock music.

First song ever was "Hit the Lights" and that was on a "Metal Massacre" CD. It was like the demo version though. Then an improved version was put on their eponymous debut "Kill Em' All"\nThe Metal Masscre version was on the demo "No Life Till' Leather"(Their very first CD ever, very rare).

i willtry to take a stab at this but don't hate me if i get it wrong. but the earliest know music to be composed was in the mediteranian. Around 27b.c. in greece i believe. they were able to compose musi in modes(like keys) There was the doric mode, phyrgian mode and another one i cannot remember right now. But this is western music. i bet there were earlier civilization that had different methods of making music.

The band came into being in 1962 when former schoolmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met Brian Jones, who named the band after the title of the Muddy Waters song "Rollin' Stone". The original line-up included Mick Jagger (vocals), Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Keith Richards (guitar, vocals), Ian "Stu" Stewart (piano), Dick Taylor (bass) and various drummers such as Mick Avory (later of The Kinks) and Tony Chapman. Taylor left shortly after to return to art school, and was later to form The Pretty Things. He was replaced by Bill Wyman. Because the Stones were not too pleased with their first "official" drummer Tony Chapman, they hired some temporary replacements to play in their first gigs. One of them was the influential drummer Carlo Little, who was with Cyril Davies All Stars. Charlie Watts, a drummer more interested in jazz than blues or rock and roll, joined the Stones in January 1963 as their new permanent drummer.\n\nUnited by their shared interest in rhythm and blues music, the group rehearsed extensively, initially playing in public at the Marquee Club in London, where Cyril Davies's rhythm and blues band was resident. They soon got their own residency at The Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, which was run by Russian emigre Giorgio Gomelsky, and began to establish themselves as London's premier live act, even being honoured with a visit from The Beatles. At first, Brian Jones, a guitarist who also toyed with numerous other instruments, was their creative leader, despite Mick Jagger increasingly becoming the focus during live performances. The band rapidly gained a reputation for their frantic, highly energetic covers of the rhythm and blues songs of their idols and, through their recently appointed sharp young manager Andrew Loog Oldham, were signed to Decca Records (who had passed when offered The Beatles).\n\nBy the time of their first single release; a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", Ian Stewart was, at the insistence of Andrew Oldham, not officially listed as part of the band, though he continued to record and perform with them. Another of Oldham's ideas was to convince Keith Richards to drop the s from his last name to become "Keith Richard", matching the surname spelling of British pop star Cliff Richard.\n\nThe choice of material on their first, self-titled EP, reflected their live shows. Similarly, the album The Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hitmakers), which appeared in April 1964 featured versions of such classics as "Route 66" (originally recorded by Nat King Cole), "Mona" (Bo Diddley) and "Carol" (Chuck Berry). The performances were pivotal in introducing a generation of white British youth to rhythm and blues music, and helped to fuel the "British Invasion" of America. More importantly perhaps, while The Beatles were still suited, clean-cut boys with mop-top haircuts, The Stones cultivated the opposite image: decidedly unkempt, and posing for publicity photographs like a gang of surly yobs. This made many girls go crazy for their bad boy image, and soon made them a teen idol group. The follow-up album, The Rolling Stones #2 (Now in the United States), was also composed mainly of cover tunes, only now augmented by a couple of songs written by the fledgling partnership of Jagger and Richards, having been locked in a room by their manager, who refused to let them out until they had written something they could release. Encouraged by Oldham, the band toured Europe and America continuously, playing to packed crowds of screaming teenagers in scenes reminiscent of the height of Beatlemania. While on tour, they took time to visit important locations in the history of the music that inspired them, recording the EP Five By Five at the studios of Chess Records in Chicago, Illinois.\n\nOn June 30, 1965, the Stones released the album "Out of Our Heads". The US version included the so

George Gershwin  (1898-1937)\n\nThe musical idiom of jazz evolved in New Orleans in the early part of this century from ragtime and the blues. The origin of the term jazz is obscure, but it first appeared in print in 1913 in a San Francisco newspaper, in reference to enthusiasm at a baseball game. The application of the term to the specific kind of music occurred during World War I. \n\nIt was, moreover, in Europe, where American dance bands were very popular, that classical composers first incorporated the new idiom into their compositions: Claude Debussy in Golliwog's Cakewalk (1908); Igor Stravinsky in Ragtime (1918); and especially Darius Milhaud in the ballet La création du monde (1923).\n\nGeorge Gershwin was the first American composer to make jazz acceptable to the classical music audience. The son of poor Jewish immigrants in lower Manhattan, he was a natural-born pianist and left school at 16 to become a pianist with a Tin-Pan Alley firm, plugging their new songs. He soon commenced writing songs himself, eventually teaming up with his brother Ira as lyricist to become one of the most successful teams of song and musical comedy writers on Broadway. They created a string of immensely successful musicals from Lady be Good in December 1924 to Let ‘em Eat Cake in October, 1933. The opening night of a George Gershwin musical comedy was a social and media event with Gershwin himself usually leading the orchestra.

Martha and the Vandellas did it originally.....followed by the Greatful Dead in the 60s, then in the 80s Van Halen and a mix by Mick Jagger with David Bowie... The Kinks and Mamas and Papas also took a stab at it....

It might be a bit late but start here\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/\n\nStart at 1960\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960\non the right hand side you will see a catagory view of 1960. Check the links under science and technology, or change to view decades in the top right hand corner, select 1960's.\n\nand follow onwards, or just search for 60's technology there.\n\non a lighter side you could make your whole project about the invention of the Audio cassette in 1963 by Philips. Mass production thereof started in 1965 in Germany, although it only started being used for music in the 1970's.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_audio_cassette

I'm just like you, but I'm 17. Rap??? They call that "music"??? And talent??? It's talking in rhymes! I think music back in the 60's and 70's was the best ... it actually ment something! Like The Beatles. Brilliantly composed and sometimes floaty. I love that. Ever herd "Revolution #9"? Now that's weird, but I still like it. Led Zeppelin is my fav. Brilliant, talented music with a meaning. Sounds cool too. But yeah, I agree with you 100 and 10% on that. Imagine what modern music will sound like 10 years from now! That's a scary thought!
