Just now getting to watch the whole unedited Taylor Hawkins tribute show at Wembley in London, and I gotta say.... This thread needs to be re-upped because quite a few people named in these pages have been onstage!  And really, for any classic rock fan, this is the best way to see some greats, not sure how many more times we'll see a few of them!

I'm particularly blown away by the spirit & epic-ness of Metallica's Lars Ulrich on drums and AC/DC's Brian Johnson on vocals (& Grohl on drums) for "Back In Black"; then Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson of Rush with David Bowie's drummer Omar Hakim, playing Rush songs, and Roger Taylor, Roger Taylor's son, Dave Grohl & someone else ALL ON DRUMS, and Brian May on guitar, for Queen songs! And I didn't know the James Gang before... And there's so much more.  So folks who posted passtionately in this thread should check out the whole 5 hour show, there are some incredible moments!

All of those musicians you mentioned are terrific players, without a doubt.  But as much as they are all excellent, I would not consider any of them as being in that rare and special group of artist who created major changes in rock.  And I do not say that to disparage any of them! 

Think of it this way- if we did this same thread question for jazz and were to name 5 musicians who did the most to change jazz, outside of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and a few other major heavy weights of that genre, I don't think there would be a whole lot of room for many, many other fine players like Elvin Jones, Ron Carter, Oliver Nelson, Dave Brubeck, Dexter Gordon and on and on almost ad infinitum!  Epic though the work of those latter names may be (and often were), I don't see any of them fitting into a top 5 list of artist who made the biggest changes in jazz.

With all due respect, JH, I think your ideas- excellent though they surely are-  might fit better in another thread topic.

That's cool Brian, I'll explain what I was trying to do then definitely retire from this thread.

I was not making the case that these were THE life-changing bands. I meant exactly what I said: Some of these groups were on people's lists in THIS thread, and more than anything I was flying the flag that if people weren't aware that all this went on at the tribute, it was a chance to see some classic rockers doing their thing with a lot of crossover between bands, which is pretty rare with these groups these days.

I was trying to think which thread might have the most people that might be interested, and I thought of this one.  Nowhere in it do I claim any of these bands to be the top 5 game changers, I say exactly what I mean which is "Really for any classic rock fan, this is the best way to see some greats, not sure how many more times we'll see a few of them!"

I apologize for just trying to spread the word on something I thought this group in particular might be interested in and might not know about. Since this is the 2nd time you took what I said in particular, said it didn't fit your topic, and suggested I start another thread, while I will continue to spread the word on things that I think a larger group might be interested in on this forum, I'll steer clear of commenting in threads you start. It was really a good faith effort to reach a specific group I thought might be interested.

Over and out.

Hey, JH, I'm sorry I hit a nerve, JH.  I think you're overreacting.  I can tell you are very passionate about the Hawkins tribute.  Absolutely nothing wrong with that and that's cool.  But why  here?  I mean, not that it's a big deal.  We're just here to have fun, right?  But why not start a thread that fits the topic you're on which is different than this one? 

Look, on this Other Music forum,  I'm here to have fun and be friends.  If this turns into something more hostile, I am definitely sorry about that and have no interest in the conflict.  Music is sacred ground for me, something to share and appreciate, not a place to bicker.

I'm done here as well.  Sheesh...

Almost done...

Can we all agree on one thing?

John Lennon should be on the master list. All by himself.

...and since John Lennon is more popular than Jesus that is all the approval I need. Thank you

Brian means no harm.  We love talking music on here and you should too.

Put us all in a room and we would have some serious fun discussing Muzak, lol!
