UK rock and US rock

This time I'm going to write about UK rock and US rock. UK rock is British rock, and US rock is American rock. With my image, UK rock is cool, US rock is passionate.

Yearning seems very deep black Brits started from where to copy the United States rock and roll, blues rock. Is that it sprang up in the early ' 60s British beat.

The Beatles

Typical band is such as the Beatles, the rolling stones.

The Rolling Stones

Over time, evolve into hard rock, progressive rock, incorporating elements of European traditional music (classic), and. Pink Floyd, deep purple is representative.

Born is also shaped the evolution of the Blues hard rock.



Bob Dylan

Jimi Hendrix

For the lock on the United States has evolved from country and folk music of their own. Bob Dylan, the beach boys, is representative. Over time, major offensive of the aforementioned British beat, also received the social background and the Viet Nam war, various elements are harmoniously on the whole will evolve to something called psychedelic whole. Such as the doors, Jimi Hendrix, the grateful dead is representative.

When becoming 70's, rock genre and starts clearly.

Hard rock-United Kingdom (Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep), progressive rock (Yes, King Crimson), glam rock (David Bowie, t. Rex),

（ Doobie Bros. Eagles, West coast of the United States, southern rock (Allman Brothers Band), singer-songwriter (Jackson Browne, Billy Joel), American hard rock (Aerosmith, Grand Funk)

It is a condition.

Punk emerge from the United Kingdom as the antithesis to the rock complex turned to the late 70's. Sex Pistols, crash, etc. In addition, evolved quickly to hard rock, heavy metal is born. Such as Judas Priest and iron maiden.

Journey called arena rock, as well as the disco boom in the United States, Boston, Kansas, more technical, and intimate rock will become mainstream.

Roughly summarized, so far is quick locking of the United Kingdom and United States history.

Since the 80's rock seems now that evolution in the real sense is nearly over so that made advances in recording technology and equipment new season comes.

Now, is the difference between the United Kingdom and the United States, differences in national character, reflected greatly

change

After nearly 60 years since the birth of rock'n roll. Instrument is not little progress. But rock music is popular culture. And popular culture reflects the situation of the period.I examine the interpretation of word once in a while. Quite a few interpretation think the situation of the period. I think that rock music's change is, so to speak, changing times. 

The term "rock and roll" has been named in the 1950s radio DJ named Alan freed is. Alan freed has introduced a streaming their shows in black pop with these words. To flow openly black pop white radio channel in southern society in the 1950s was the racial segregation of course not. So calculating he without the use of the word "rhythm & Blues" that's rock and roll is not presented black pop music. His show all the races, reputation went to teenagers Centre. Cheerful and simple melody soon teenagers might like rhythm & Blues from word "rock and roll" to settle in the boom, as well as the we went to be bundled on a genre of rock and roll. 

In the 1960s youth culture changed significantly and will deny the culture before it will put out a strong originality, as well as. Generation gap is because it caused significantly for the first time history in popular culture. Generation gap in subscription magazines and music preferences in the current norm is, so roots wide gap tended to occur there in the 1960s. 1960S, situation in which young people are changing significantly. The underlying distrust of modern civilization there. Believed that anyone in history of advances in human history is modern civilization in a person who is earlier, and modern civilization is in the pinnacle of society being built. There are some problems, and never enough to worry as the trivial of the expansion will be resolved over time and overwhelming richness of material before that I thought. In the 1960s, it revealed problems of modern society to everyone. Thrive no matter how physically between rich and poor will shrink or racial discrimination was, too. And nuclear development competition has escalated in the cold war, was hot in the Viet Nam war. But situation is dark age at that time it wasn't. Thought and believe society can change many young people in their own hands and soon hopeful new era is coming.

Conditions were thought to move the age rock music, messages of love and peace to change society ends with the end of the 60's. BTW why is careful flower for simple, while Pippig who do drag, sang rock, is unchanged from what age. Their movements no convincing those who do not share the same fantasies, only the selfish and self-righteous one. Unlike the activities of specific political goals, such as the civil rights movement, entity as well as a message of love and peace, just was went swell the just expectations of the Ponzi scheme. Of course, it is the same who do not share the illusions burst is when confronted with the fact that no approach whatsoever for their power, inflated expectations.

 

Two types of music was in the 70's, appeared on the market. One is a sweet rock hits as well as widely, such as preferred. This was stupid commercial democracy on rock and from the avid rock fans, the broad and shallow penetration, surely went into the charts. Most current pop's descendants of this sweet rock. And another was rock hard and serious. The exaggeration it was greeted enthusiastically in some fans, serious criticism that transformed what struck many.

Just a reflection of youth culture in common with these two routes, standstill of the 70's, dark feeling.

 

It's lightness and panache in the 80's has been criticized by speaking or involved with what, in the 1990s, and became the object of laughter. If pompous poses and words and excessive self-consciousness is a symbol of the 80's, is "body" but definitely 90's. Body heat and their presence around it. "Think, move the body" it is literally true. It might be that "people are getting lost faith words it just this.Music scene also changed significantly. Rock for ever flow out of Vogue and more hip hop emphasizes the physicality has become common.

 

It's like this change in rock music has changed along with the historical background.

 

 

 

 

 

famous musician

This time I 'm going to write about some famous musician of rock musician.

First, I intoduce Elvis Presley to you.

Elvis Presley is American popular music biggest star After World War II gave birth to . Rock 'n' roll world known biggest man who occupies it. Big star 20 century gave birth to the United States. The symbol of the United States. ' "That's All Right" recorded at 54, southern local label "Sun" was her introduction to show stand out as a supporter of new music is a Rock 'n' Roll. ' Contract with the major RCA 56, debut at the Heartbreak Hotel Heartbreak Hotel. Since Hound Dog "hound dog", "don't be cruel", which becomes the first Rock such as Don't Be Cruel, "jailhouse Rock" Jailhouse Rock shot the winning hit 'n' Roll history. Also in the meantime, show innovation at work ballad Love Me Tender "love me tender", decorate also the Hollywood debut in the movie with the same name, showed a big success both in terms of music / movies.

Masterpiece in terms of music, too, such as large river & Straw made too many, like a ' 50s rockabilly era and that talked swamp style like the Las Vegas age only to the 70's too good. Starred in numerous musical films.

 

Next musician is the Beatles.

The Beatles is British rock group. John Lennon John Lennon (1940-80, guitar), and Paul McCartney Paul McCartney （ 1942--, base ）, George Harrison Ringo Starr and George Harrison (1943-2001, guitars) Ringo Starr （ 1940-, drums ） of four. Both born in Liverpool. I think that music of the Beatles and their way of life isf or peace, about life, about love, veritable to the depths of our hearts.

the Beatles has a lot of famous songs, for example "Let it be","Hey Jude" and "Help!" so on. These songs is used in television program and commercial message. "Hey Jude" has various interpretation. Please hear it, it is interesting to consider the meaning of words by yourself.

 

Also exept these, The Rolling Stones is formed in London in 1962. 1988, The debut single "come on". Mick Jagger (Vo), (G), Keith Richards, Brian Jones (G), (B) Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts (Ds ） is a member of at the time. According to my investigation, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones is always considered rivals relations that is sweeping the world series debuted in from England in the early ' 60s, they were also. The Beatles suit suits, against's the Rolling Stones suit casually dress. Try a musical experiment with the stones got the support of young people's disaffected, aggressive music and lyrics for the Beatles were a pop. "Beatles sect or faction Stones" such dispute arises from these differences.

 

 

kinds of rock

This time my theme is kinds of rock. Rock music has long history, therefore, it has many genres. I think that genre which I know is a small part of rock music's genre. I'm going to write genres one by one.


First, I introduce this genre, " Hard Rock".Characterized by guitar solo sounds massive, rugged riffs, and ad lib and including long, the blues rock. Is the first musician in the cream, the genres an entrenched in led Zeppelin. History of hard rock in the history of drag and the flower movement, guitarist / bassist / drummer history. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy page that rare star player was born.addition, bluesy swamp rock from the southern States also hard rock near formally. But there was now almost in shambles, some followers to play a tribute only to genre.

Next, " Metal". Lock on to selling and metallic guitar sound heard distortion at high volume, and pursue the hard rock-style aesthetics and electrifying vocals or chorus "to vie metal" and called. Of black, gold and red dress and hair also becomes famous. In the top-selling, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith's representative. There are a lot of synthesizer can be used. There are still popular, rock scene, genres, with an empasis on style so unusual and profound.

"Folk rock" produce atmosphere as if folk song and traditional, with electric guitar. By singer songwriter guitar rock. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell,. Dylan shifted to electric 65 years, announced a "like a rolling stone" and the beginning of the boom, British music also inspired. 

"Psychedelic" is the movement that was popular in 1966-7? Which reflects the drug experience, such as LSD and marijuana, to music. Or whatnot music reminiscent of hippie culture. Marked by looking, colorful fashion. Marked by looking, colorful fashion.

The statement of "progressive rock". A concept backed by traditional rock on an epic scale and profound story. Is a rock art as beautiful when when in quiet, furious when Raphael.

 



"Jazz Rock" is (1) one rock band approached the band. (2) what jazz band approached the rock band. As he was in the same two parties is different. Referred to (1) also known as "American rock", although it introduced a bold brass and saxophone sounds of the music composition is a rock itself. Adult-oriented rock AOR (adult oriented rock) that even came right out. (2) Will listen to jam a long strain or one interpretation of rock into jazz, was of brass, electric guitar, electric piano, such as in.

"Punk" means "thugs". A simple vertical born lock back in New York as a theme 70s groovy lock. Antisocial spirit of youth that is put there.

 

"Alternative" is a And the alternative meaning "not take the conventional way". Now, the "hybrid Rock" itself can be entirely nonsensical. Located behind the industrial rock, often rising indie bands, that belief is seriously ill.

rock's characteristics

This time my theme is rock's characteristics . Rock music impress me as music that rock singers take out their feeling on society. I had a vague image about rock music,and I want to know  "what is rock music ?". So I'm not only going to write about rock's characteristics but also rock music's definition.

I think instruments is one of rock music's characteristics. The instruments is electric guitar and bass and drum. And some rock musician play electronic organ, synthesizer, computer sound. Some artists play instruments as contrabass and violin.  I think that the instruments can extend the region of music, for example, guitar and bass can play various sounds by link these to amplifier.Using the instruments and machinery, one of rock music's characteristics,  can give music "distortion" and "make an impression". And many rock musician team bands. This musical form is one of rock music's characteristics. Right then,"Rock music is violent music"? Many people might think so. But rock music contain tender music. If so, what is rock music? what is rock music's definition?

Almost rock music is composed by rock musician. The first period,  mainly, rock music expressed resistance to and rage against stereotype and system. That is to say, it had the meaning of existence as counter culture. Although rock's movement appeared as outlaw in the first period, presently, as rock music is popular, it confirmed popularity and was mainstream by contraries. And what's more, new counter culture appeared to the rock music, new rock genre appeared. I think to be able to say that, in brief, rock is music as counter culture. Rock music's word is both complex representation and straight word. Rock musician not only want to listen melody but also word that they appeal. So, rock music need not especially violent music and contain tender melody. Rock music seems that many young men like it.I think that the reason is that they sympathize with rock music's word. They may sympathize with rock music's word for impatient about society

By the way, rock music has characteristics melody. In a case of rock, allotment note of melody's sound contain many syncopation. This allotment note characterize rock music's melody. And, using chord in rock music compound mainly three or four note. And, rock mainly is 2beat, 8beat, or 16beat.
Anyway, rock music's sounds have mainly stormy beat. Another, for one of rock music's
characteristics, it repeat same phrase. As I wrote a little while ago, rock musician want to express theirself storong emotions, so I think that they repeat same phrase.Rock music is element instruments is important. For example, in rock band's live, the only guitarist play between musics. In a case of this, the guitarist play mainly solo note very fast. The performance arouse the audience at the concert to enthusiasm.

Thus, rock music fascinate people in various charactristics.
