History of Rock

[@ithacaaudio]

Hi everyone. Thanks for the amazing response to the video in the last couple of days, it’s really blown us away. Some people have also made some really good points about the diversity of the acts involved and raised questions about what’s been included vs what hasn’t etc. There are tons of hugely influential artists and sub-genres that we haven’t included in this and our main aim was to create a mashup that was foremost entertaining to watch, contain it to around 15mins, for it to primarily work well musically (and in the form of a Facebook feed) and have examples of the evolution of mainstream rock over the decades rather than create a kind of definitive documentary of rock. We really hope that comes across and you guys enjoy the video for what it is. It would have been great for us to start earlier on and explore more of the influence of the early pioneers before Elvis, which we picked mainly because musically it makes a great sounding intro with The Yardbirds. As you guys can probably tell, more hours than we’d like to think about now went into working out this giant musical jigsaw and getting it to work harmonically at the same time, but in hindsight we’d have loved to have tried to get some of the incredible women in rock to sit within the mix and feature a few videos rather than just noting their influence. Thanks for all the love so far and the interesting points that people are making too - it’s all great to hear.

Bands/Artists that should've at least made an appearance: KISS Sex Pistols Motorhead Judas Priest The Ramones Van Halen Ozzy Osbourne Motley Crue Bon Jovi Pearl Jam Green Day Bands that should've gotten more time: The Beatles David Bowie The Doors Iron Maiden Metallica STILL - one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time. 9.5/10

[@dd22musicfan1]

This video is absolutely amazing! The way you meshed modern social media (Facebook), with actual meshing of the songs, and with past comments from interviews by musicians about each other is just simply incredible. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on the Internet. Outstanding job guys!

[@johanlebacq6683]

I legit thought that this was way older than 5 years, Still going strong.

[@overlord5400]

All the moments with Led Zeppelin was the best.

[@WmJoseSinclair]

+el Ghoren and remember that Led Zepplin was once "The New Yardbirds", being the remnants of that band - and this video starts with the Yardbirds, then Elvis, then Cream -- Clapton, Beck, and Page were ALL in the Yardbirds, and of course, Clapton founded Cream, then Page was the leader of Zepp!

[@WilliamLionheart]

What I like the most of this video is that you've at one point heard their songs, at least once in your life if not more

[@fernandolucas581]

best video of rock evolution

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

Great music, but certainly not a video of rock "evolution": Duran Duran followed by AC/DC followed by the Doors means _nothing_ about rock evolution. And speaking as a real Duran Duran fan, the idea that they are as important as e.g. Little Richard is silly.

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

Depeche Mode were important but they were not the "first," they were influenced by e.g. Gary Numan, Ultravox, O.M.D., and the Human League.

[@ashcoffman1831]

Boris Nikitin I have to respectfully disagree. Duran Duran and Depeche Mode both started at the same time in different areas of the UK. Both are influential but Duran Duran actually play rock instruments and incorporate synthesizers. And yes, they do play their own instruments live and they do it well. Very misunderstood band. Check out their full body of work and not just the radio hits. The non singles are the best.

[@luvyou-baby]

Still a mind blowing masterpiece. One of the best ever made

[@BlacKHellCaT78]

make a "History of Metal" next!

[@Uroboro_Djinn]

Some of these were actually metal. Black Sabbath for example which could be considered the first metal band. Metal is a subgenre of rock after all.

[@robinchesterfield42]

Ann Wilson of Heart commented on a video, too. But it would've been nice to see Heart actually PLAYING. Maybe "Barracuda"--I think that song would fit the rest of the video quite well. Maybe some Jefferson Airplane, with Grace Slick belting "DON'T YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO LOVE?", or some Pat Benatar "Heartbreaker", or Tina Weymouth on drums with the Talking Heads...
