One of the most kick-ass songs I've ever seen. It's the Bohemian Rhapsody cover at the Freddy Mercury tribute concert. It starts out with Elton John singing the slow stuff, then once it gets heavier Axl comes out, all with queen playing the instrumental parts. I'd also recommend watching the Freddy Mercury tribute concert, I remember finding the whole thing on youtube. After Freddy died, all the greatest bands came together and played all of queen's greatest songs. It's incredible.

that was awesome

I really don't see why somebody's sexuality automatically makes them horrible at singing. Freddy Mercury was incredibly gay, and you just said that the song is nice. Hmmm.....

but elton john is whiny, overated and annoying, I prefer freddie mercurys music by far too

My dad used to rock out to Elton John, his sister once threw a coke bottle at him once for blasting the Saturday Night song and it left a huge gash on his face.

Then they all got beat with a wiffleball bat :(

My dad always hated Elton John. So did I. I never saw any appeal in his music. Would you even call his music classic rock?

Ya know, I never really liked elton john either. But I liked him in that song. *shrugs*

I don't really care for it, but the Saturday song is okay. If you define Classic Rock by the time it's been around then yes I think it is Classic Rock.

How would you define the Classic part?

Recently, I found a version of a cover of Stairway to Heaven by Pink Floyd. At first, I thought it was a mistake, but after I listened to it, I was really impressed by how it turned out. It sounds almost like a completely different song (best part starts at roughly 4:00 BTW)

Also, it took forever to find the right uploader. Everything had a 5 MB limit. This song is 7.5 MB.

To play, click the "listen button".

Oh, and I almost forgot. At the very end, (I think that it's) Robert Plant singing the final verse. It's a really cool cover, but don't just listen to 30 seconds of it, and give a thumbs down. Listen to the whole thing. It really sounds different from the original song.

That's awesome, it matches the song perfectly. That is a perfect party/Saturday song btw. I love to blast it on weekends. It's probably my favorite song Sir Elton John does, but I enjoy much of his work, like Bennie and the Jets, Rocketman, Harmony, and Follow The Yellow Brick Road.

Pink Floyd's Richard Wright has died. Official topic here

That really sucks, he was to me a more important member than Syd.

Lately, I just can't stop listening to Deep Purple.

What are your guys' opinion on them?

I haven't heard anything by him in a long time. I know if I play that Saturday song my dad's gonna tell me the above story again haha. I might look into him and Meat Loaf too.

I love Knocking On Your Back Door. Besides SOTW I love a lot of their songs and blast them whenever I'm driving around.

I totally agree. Most fans of that song are 11 year olds playing guitar hero

My favorite songs by DP would have to be My Woman From Tokyo, Space Truckin, Speed King, Hush, etc. etc.

I saw Deep purple live some weeks ago with Nazareth.
Favorite song is Child in time.

I'm a "Wring that Neck" guy myself...

I like

Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
The Who
The Doors
AC/DC
The Rolling Stones

Fuck, I'd love to see Rush perform again :) Their Snakes & Arrows tour was AWESOME!!!!

OOOOH SHIT! I haven't even seen them once in concert! I would've loved to see the Snakes & Arrows tour. Next time thy're in the U.S. I really need to get in! If I see them and they play the Pass, I'm going to fucking explode with joy.

Wow guys. What the fuck happened to this thread? It's practically dead. In 3 months, we've had what, 5 posts? That's too bad. I really like classic rock. So, um... revival effort post?

Shit, I forgot about this club. Umm, classic rock?

Isn't it weird that at the start of the next decade (2010-2019) artists from the 90s will be considered Classic Rock :/

I'll shit bricks the first time I hear STP, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam on a classic rock station.
