LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
hey guys, I wanted to start a topic about classics act that brough rock and roll and metal to the world.
I wanted to start with the king Elvis Presley because trough the years Ive Found that very few people in metal and rock scene dont like him, some dont even know him or ever listened one of his songs!
If we got to thank somebody for the music we enjoy today, is this guy,he put everything together (to make it simple, black & white music) broke boundaries and make rock and roll the music for change,fun, rebelious,freedom, and everything that rock stands for.
I dont want to make this an historic and hyper detailed tribute to the king, what do you guys out there think?!

A great way to make a topic un-serious is to put "Talk serious" in the title. Thus...

Re: LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
hahaha I know that a lot of us here born many years after the real king died, but hell, he did so much for rock and roll, that he deserves at least that people who dont listen to rock and roll oldies too much go and check some of his music. just to know what he did for us.Kosmo wrote:Elvis is cool you guys are just ignorant!

Re: LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
Elvis in the musician talk kinda made me chuckle, because he really wasn't a "Musician", he was an entertainer that used the medium of music extremely well. He inspired a lot of music, as well as the attitude of rock, but as far as my own listening goes, I'll go as far back as the Beatles in the "Rock" line, and for any other classics, I look to Blues musicians.
Re: LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
he really wasn't a "Musician"
two out of three made him famous, in 3/3 if we count everything since he arranged and cowrote songs. why would he not be a musician?A musician is a person who writes, performs, or makes music.

As I understood it, his actual contributions to composition were exaggerated.icecab21 wrote:he really wasn't a "Musician"two out of three made him famous, in 3/3 if we count everything since he arranged and cowrote songs. why would he not be a musician?A musician is a person who writes, performs, or makes music.
Re: LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
i know some were for publishing where he was not involved but some websites said he wrote songs that just did not get put on the albums and that You'll Be Gone had his involvement. i do think the song interpretation and arrangement is more of a musician quality than writing the song itself though.
Re: LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
here is the deal, some of the elvis first hit were popular music arranged as rock and roll , or rockabilly by that period.Rebel wrote:As I understood it, his actual contributions to composition were exaggerated.icecab21 wrote:he really wasn't a "Musician"two out of three made him famous, in 3/3 if we count everything since he arranged and cowrote songs. why would he not be a musician?A musician is a person who writes, performs, or makes music.
Later on Elvis or his manager I dont remember well, make outsider songwriters give elvis half of the credit of songwriting, since elvis did a lot of arragements of songs, but mainly for rolayties!
in any case, elvis gave us rock and roll, before him , all music was piano oriented and came from a music factory called "tin pan alley" who just wrote songs like they were making hot dogs.
elvis took the guitar , brought together the blues & country, black and white, he was a brilliant singer, very few people change music in such a positive way like him. and that is why he is and remains the king of rock and roll.

If he wasn't a musician, then what he did in all his life was a lie

Re: LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
haha of course not, he could play guitar ,bass, he did wrote some songs on a couple of albums and of course he could perform and sing like nobody at that time.ggonza43 wrote:If he wasn't a musician, then what he did in all his life was a lie
lets put it this way, before elvis the most heavy music was rythm and blues, and was of course banned for most of the white people.

no at all, rock and roll is about mixing diferent beats and sounds. is about equality.ggonza43 wrote:So after all we need to blame whities?

voice is a instrument, can;t just knock singing like that. it gets the same academic study and performance credit as any other instrument and the body has features just like any other instrument that lead to sound and music
Re: LETS TALK CLASSICS! [Elvis Presley]
I totally agree, the voice might be the hardest instrument to play:Dicecab21 wrote:voice is a instrument, can;t just knock singing like that. it gets the same academic study and performance credit as any other instrument and the body has features just like any other instrument that lead to sound and music
