Absolutely! Bono’s ability to combine his musical talent with genuine activism is truly inspiring. He doesn’t just talk about change-he takes action to make it happen. A legend in every sense!

I understand where you're coming from-this has been a complex and sensitive issue for many. Yusuf Islam has spent years clarifying his stance, emphasizing his commitment to peace and dialogue, and condemning violence. It’s always valuable to explore the full context of someone’s journey. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

That’s a hilarious comparison! I guess some banter has its Jack Russell energy! Thanks for sharing your take-it’s always fun to hear different perspectives.

Wow, what an incredible lineup! 🤩 Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top together must’ve been epic. It's amazing to hear that ZZ Top’s performance stood out-they’ve truly mastered the art of putting on an unforgettable show after all these years. Both bands are absolute legends in their own right!

Great point! British bands like The Beatles, The Stones, and Clapton undeniably reshaped music history. But let’s not overlook the incredible impact of American bands like ZZ Top, whose 52-year legacy with their original lineup is unmatched. Bands like The Beach Boys brought revolutionary harmonies, and artists like Jimi Hendrix (though he gained fame in the UK) set the bar for guitar innovation. It’s less about competition and more about how both sides of the Atlantic have enriched rock and roll in their own unique ways!

Close, but not quite! 😊 Jimi Hendrix didn’t play in The Moving Sidewalks-that was Billy Gibbons’ early band. However, Hendrix did open doors for Gibbons, famously calling him ‘one of the best young guitarists’ on The Tonight Show! Such high praise from a legend speaks volumes about Gibbons’ talent. Thanks for the comment!

@@TuneRoots7 I stand corrected thank you sir. I've seen photos with Jimi and Moving Sidewalks. I assumed incoorectly that Jimi was a member. Every day is a school day XD

No worries at all! 🤝 Those photos are definitely iconic, and it’s easy to see how that mix-up could happen. Jimi and The Moving Sidewalks crossing paths is such a cool piece of music history. And you're absolutely right-every day is a school day!

Much appreciated! Thank you so much for the support and for subscribing! I'm really glad you enjoyed the structure and found the info helpful. It means a lot to have your feedback! Stay tuned for more content, and I appreciate you being part of the community!

That’s awesome! Peter Frampton is a legend-his music has stood the test of time. 🎸🎶 Thanks for sharing your love for his work! ♥️🌟 2025!

You know it! 🤠 That's pure Texas swagger right there-ZZ Top's roots run deep in the Lone Star State, and they've brought that legendary energy to rock & roll for decades. Long live Texas music!

Thanks for your feedback! I can see how you'd want more focus on Peter Frampton himself demonstrating the talk box-it’s such a fascinating tool and a signature part of his sound. The narration is meant to provide context and highlight his impact, but I totally get that you'd prefer to see more hands-on moments with the talk box in action. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Happy new year 2025

Great question! Black pioneers are at the very heart of Rhythm and Blues, and their contributions are absolutely essential to the genre's history. Legends like Louis Jordan, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin not only shaped R&B but also influenced countless other genres, from rock and roll to soul. If anything seems overlooked, it’s important to recognize and amplify their legacy-they are the foundation of this incredible music. Thanks for bringing this up! Happy new year 2025

Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate your feedback. You're absolutely right-time restraints made it challenging to cover every influential black music pioneer who shaped R&B and soul music. Their contributions are monumental, and I’ll be sure to highlight more of their stories in future videos. I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation, and I hope to dive deeper into this rich history soon. Thanks again for watching and engaging! Happy new year!

Actually, Syd Barrett didn’t live in Qatar-he spent most of his life in England, especially in Cambridge. Maybe there’s been some confusion, but it’s fascinating how his story sparks conversations from all over the world! Happy new year!

I can see where you're coming from, and it's clear that opinions on Syd Barrett can be quite polarized. While his time with Pink Floyd was brief, his early contributions, especially with The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, helped shape the band's unique sound. His struggles with drugs certainly took a toll, but it's hard to ignore the influence his creativity had on the early psychedelic rock scene. Whether or not you consider him a genius, his role in music history is undeniable, and Pink Floyd’s later work wouldn't have been the same without his initial impact

That’s a poetic yet poignant way to describe Syd Barrett’s story. His journey reflects both the brilliance and the fragility of the 1960s counterculture-a time of incredible creativity but also immense personal struggles for many artists

Yup, Gilmour made it complete.

While opinions on Syd’s contributions may vary, it’s important to acknowledge that his creativity and experimental approach were instrumental in shaping Pink Floyd’s early sound. His influence laid the foundation for the band's later success, even if his time with them was brief.

Absolutely, David Gilmour brought a whole new dimension to Pink Floyd's sound. His talent and style helped the band evolve into the iconic group we know today, building on the foundation Syd had laid.

his wife definitely was not a great woman

The 27 Club is such a tragic phenomenon, and Kurt's loss is one that still resonates deeply. He truly was an incredible artist, and their story, though complicated, remains part of music history. His legacy will always live on.

Understandably, Courtney Love is a polarizing figure for many. Regardless of personal opinions about her, there's no denying that Kurt's story and legacy remain incredibly impactful.

That must have been quite an encounter, though it’s heartbreaking to hear about their struggles with addiction. It’s a reminder of how even the most talented artists face their own battles behind the scenes.

That’s a great point. Many people who have struggled with mental health have produced some of the most unique and inspiring art. Syd Barrett is a perfect example of how brilliance can emerge from deep personal challenges. It’s a reminder that creativity and vulnerability often go hand in hand.

Absolutely, RIP Syd. His music and art continue to inspire and resonate with so many, even years after his passing. His legacy is unforgettable.

@TuneRoots7 I love his 2 albums

Yep. Just AI BS.

Sorry to hear you feel that way! I always strive to bring fresh perspectives and insights. If there’s a specific angle or detail you’d like to see more of, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Happy new year!

Well said! Syd truly embodied the soul of an artist, prioritizing creativity over performance. It’s heartbreaking to think how the pressures of the industry may have weighed on him, and how psychedelics became a way to cope. His story is a poignant reminder of the struggles many artists face behind the scenes.

Sorry to hear you feel that way. If there's something you think could be improved or clarified, feel free to share your feedback-I'd be happy to help! Have a happy healthy 2025'

Shit innit?

Have a happy healthy 2025

@@TuneRoots7 Pull your own plug.

Absolutely, Syd's artistry was truly one of a kind! From his innovative songwriting to his captivating paintings, his creativity knew no bounds. That tortoise painting is such a fascinating piece-owning it would be like holding a piece of his genius. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2025 as well!

That's an interesting perspective and one that really makes you think. Syd's disillusionment with the music industry could very well have played a role in his decision to step away. It’s tragic yet admirable in a way-he stayed true to himself and his art, refusing to conform to a system he didn’t believe in. It adds another layer to his legacy as someone who valued creativity and authenticity over fame and success.

Him being smashed off his tits on drugs while he should have been doing his job like the rest of his colleagues didn't come into it then?

It’s definitely a complicated story. While Syd’s struggles with drugs played a significant role in his behavior and eventual departure, it’s also important to consider the immense pressures he faced in the industry. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but it adds context to why he may have turned to substances as a way to cope. It’s a tragic example of the toll fame and creativity can take on someone.

​@@TuneRoots7 having studied and read on Barrrett-era Floyd and solo career for over 30 years, I believe it's all of the above. Not to mention, he was a pure artist, never wishing to repeat himself and getting lost in the "game": touring, writing, pressure, trying to trim the edges for a Pop music world, mix in with constant LSD, psychedelics in general, hash, pills, women, women, WOMEN, all whilst high and being treated like a god, i think he just shut down and said "f**k it"

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You're absolutely right-Glenn Frey played a significant role in Bob Seger's music, including contributions to iconic tracks. I'll keep your feedback in mind for future videos to provide more detailed insights into the musicians and stories behind the songs.

What an incredible experience! Meeting legends like that must have been unforgettable. It's moments like these that make music so special!

Absolutely! Peter Gabriel’s music and legacy truly stand the test of time ❤ Forever an icon!

Beautifully said! Peter Gabriel is not only a legendary musician but also an inspiring human being-a true artist and family man. His impact goes far beyond music!

Absolutely 💔. Syd Barrett's story is heartbreaking but also deeply inspiring. Despite his struggles, he left behind a legacy of groundbreaking music that continues to touch and inspire so many. A true reminder of the brilliance and vulnerability of creative genius

Syd may have had mental issues, but he was still much saner than Roger Walters is these days. Walters has become a complete nut case.

Syd’s mental health struggles were certainly complex and deeply impactful, but his creative brilliance still shines brightly in his legacy. As for Roger Waters, he's definitely a polarizing figure today-his outspoken nature has sparked a lot of debate. It’s interesting how both of them, in their own ways, have left such distinct marks on music and culture.

Kashmir is such an epic track-great choice! 'The Nervous Man Song' is such an interesting nickname for it. Is it the hypnotic rhythm or the powerful build that gives you that vibe? Would love to hear more about what makes it your favorite!

@@TuneRoots7 Ya I think it was the Build up of the cords that had me thinking of a guy that was trying to defuse a bomb or a nervous guy trying to rob a store , Ya it's kind of Hypnotic .But love to crank this song up on my Turn table . Always been a big Zep fan since day one .P/S i'm 70 years young ,favorite band 2 is Deep Purple . When no one is around ,I CRANK the living shit up ,never stop listening to the sounds of my youth .

I totally get what you mean about the buildup in 'Kashmir'-it definitely has that intense, nervous energy, almost like a ticking clock! It’s awesome to hear that you’ve been a Zeppelin fan since day one. Cranking up those tunes on a turntable sounds like pure joy, especially with the classics like Zeppelin and Deep Purple. There’s something timeless about those sounds that really take you back. Keep rocking and enjoying the music of your youth-it's never too loud when it's your favorite band!"

An absolute masterpiece! 'Stairway to Heaven' is timeless-every note feels like a journey. What’s your favorite part of the song? The intro, the solo, or the powerful ending?

Haha, yep-those guys! 😄 Led Zeppelin (or should I say Zed Lepelin 😉) truly changed the game in rock music. Got a favorite song of theirs?

Absolutely! 🎶 One Love truly is a song for the ages. Bob Marley’s message of love, unity, and justice continues to inspire generations worldwide.

Great catch! You're absolutely right-Peter Grant played a key role in suggesting the spelling change from 'Lead' to 'Led' to avoid mispronunciations. It’s such a small tweak, but it made a huge difference in their iconic branding. Thanks for pointing that out!

@@TuneRoots7 My Pleasure as a 'True Believer' in Led Zeppelin since 1969, & having the Honor of seeing them Live in 1975, It's vitally important that No Detail of their Rich History gets Overlooked!

yep, but he couldn't find a better name so they stuck w it

You’re right-John Paul Jones wasn’t initially a fan of the name! It’s fascinating how something that started with hesitation ended up representing one of the most legendary bands in rock history. Imagine if they’d gone with a different name!

Sounds like you made a big life change! 😊 Unlike Hotel California, it seems you found your way out. Where did your journey take you after leaving 'Commiefornia'?"

@ Nevada

Thanks for sharing that insight from Felder's book! Henley’s talent as a wordsmith really shines in Hotel California, and the layered lyrics give the song so much depth. Happy Holidays to you too-hope it’s filled with music and joy!

If I remember correctly, Henley took a tape home with him one night and came back the next day with lyrics and the melody.

You’re absolutely right-there’s a version of the story involving John Entwistle as well! Some accounts mention both Keith Moon and Entwistle joking about the 'lead balloon' phrase during the same conversation. It’s one of those rock history moments where the details vary depending on who’s telling it, but it definitely highlights the humor and wit of The Who’s members!

It’s Rock&Roll ❤

Hotel Cecil definitely has its own eerie vibes, but Hotel California takes it to a whole new level of mystery! And yes, it’s pure Rock & Roll magic ❤

The Humble Pie years were such an important part of Peter Frampton's journey. Teaming up with Steve Marriott brought out a grittier, harder edge to his playing that really showcased his versatility as a guitarist. Those early tours and albums helped lay the groundwork for his solo success later on. Humble Pie was definitely a turning point in his career-pure rock history!

​@@TuneRoots7Jerry Shirley -drummer in Humble Pie- said that Peter Frampton stole the sound from them. Listen to Performance Rockin' The Fillmore before listening to Frampton's Comes Alive.

That’s definitely one of the darker interpretations! The imagery in Hotel California-like 'you can never leave'-does feel haunting and otherworldly.

Well said! The themes of addiction and those clever oxymoronic undertones really make Hotel California unforgettable. It’s no wonder so many consider it one of the greatest songs ever written.

Absolutely true! Peter Gabriel intentionally avoided hi-hats and cymbals on his early solo albums to create a more distinct, tribal rhythm. It’s a testament to his innovative approach-always pushing boundaries and challenging traditional sounds!
