Classic rock hate thread (hexbear.net)

I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

I swear this is the first riff every new guitar player learns (I learned it and I had never even heard the song until that moment)

Not every. My first riff was "Them Bones", Alice in Chains.

I think mine was "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Might have been "Paranoid."

Guitarists: wojak-nooo THAT'S NOT EVEN HOW YOU PLAY THE SONG! IT'S PERFECT 4TH DYADS WITH AN IMPLIED E-G-A ROOT, SO IT'S 2-5-7 BARRED ACROSS THE 4TH AND 5TH STRINGS! 0-3-5 IS A LIIIIIIIIIIIE!

When I played bass that actually wasn't my first song to learn. It was My Name Is Mud by Primus. But that was probably because I fucking love slapbass.

My friend started fucking around on a bass guitar, and the first thing he learned was the Seinfeld riff.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That's sort of how it happened for me. I had an idea of how to do the My Name Is Mud riff but it was at downtime during a jam session for the band I was playing guitar in and I was like hey lemme see if I can do slapbass.

The first bassline I learned was a Weezer song...

I think my first full song was probably Big Truck by Coal Chamber or something.
