Saturday Rocks:125 cele mai bune/faimoase cover-uri

Inca de acum aproape 2 ani,atunci cand am facut Top 50 cele mai proaste cover-uri(http://warandriot.blogspot.ro/2011/05/top-50-cele-mai-proaste-cover-uri-din.html ),v-am promis si "reversul medaliei",un top cu cele mai bune cover-uri din industrie,in plin proces de creatie venindu-mi o alta idee de postare pe aceasi tema vazand un numar mare de artisti ale caror melodii au fost "luate" si interpretate in nota proprie de altii.Dupa ce am trecut de socul provocat aflarii faptului ca melodii ca "I will always love you" sau "Hurt" sunt cover-uri,am reusit sa fac un top mai mare decat cel precedent,lucru care nu credeam ca este posibil in cazul cover-urilor de calitate si care m-a ambitionat sa fac si o partea a II-a pentru cel anterior mentionat.
Si cum gusturile muzicale difera de la persoana la persoana,mi-am permis sa fac mentiunea necesara in titlu,si o paranteza aferenta acesteia acum.In topul ce urmeaza veti gasi atat cover-uri considerate mai "bune" dar si un numar mare de melodii devenite "celebre" dupa ce au fost preluate de diferiti artisti,ramane la latitudinea fiecaruia sa aleaga daca varianta "modificata" este mai buna sau doar mai "faimoasa".

Behind the scenes(names):De unde provin numele trupelor?Part.1:

  http://warandriot.blogspot.ro/2012/12/behind-scenesnamesde-unde-provin-numele.html

 

92.Rolling Stones:Daca in cazul Beatles-ilor,disuctiile contradictorii asupra originii numelor inca mai apar,Rolling Stones au spus inca de la inceput ca si-au luat numele dupa cantecul lui Muddy Waters,”Rolling Stone Blues”.

93.Rush:Datorita agitatiei si a lipsei timpului liber intre doua concerte,baietii s-au hotarat sa-si aleaga un nume care sa descrie cat mai bine modul de viata inainte de a devenii celebri.Una dintre cele mai cretine adaptari dupa numele unei trupe ii revine,din pacate acesteia;unii inca mai cred ca Rush inseamna defapt “Rogues Under Satan’s Hire” si ca steaua de pe coperta albumului 2112 reprezinta pentagrama.Steaua nu este pentagrama(care nici macar nu este un simbol satanic)ci steaua lui David pe care o gasim si in Biblie de altfel iar cele 4 litere ce formeaza numele trupei nu au nicio urma de satanism.

94.Sex Pistols:Inainte de a devenii una dintre cele mai vanate fete din industria muzicala,Sid Vicious a lucrat la un magazin de haine intitulat Sex al carui manager era si impresarul lor.Acesta s-a hotarat sa adauge “Pistols” pentru a nu fi confundati.

95.Skid Row:Skid Row era o denumire des intalnita atunci cand vroiai sa descrii un cartier rau famat unde au loc crime si se vand droguri.

96.Skillet:John Cooper a spus intr-un interviu “It was a matter of throwing all these styles into the skillet and seeing what we cooked up.”

97.Slayer:Un film popular atunci cand trupa a luat nastere era numit “Dragonslayer”,nume pe care l-au luat si ei,in final eleminand “dragon”.O alta “legenda urbana” este ca numele trupei provine defapt de la Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot.

98.Slash’s Snakepit:Nu doar ca Slash iubeste serpii(chiar mai mult decat toate duduile din videoclip’ul melodiei “Patience”),dar Snakepit era denumirea unui studio in care Axl a refuzat sa inregistreze in perioada Use Your Illusion,loc unde Slash a revenit peste ani si a pus bazele unei trupe si a unui album nou.

99.Steely Dan:Intr-una din cartile lui William S. Burroughs apare acest nume,Fagen a spus “We just wanted to give the band a little more thrust than most other bands.”

100.Steppenwolf:O alta trupa numita dupa o carte,Steppenwolf de Herman Hesse.

101.Thin Lizzy:Una din cele mai cunoscute povesti legate de originea numelui acestei trupa ramane aceea care spune ca Thin Lizzy provine de la porecla lui Liz Stride,una din victimele lui Jack the Ripper.Un cantec despre el a fost lansat de catre trupa ceva mai tarziu,”KIller on the Loose”.

102.Twisted Sister:Atunci cand cantau in cluburile locale pe sume modice,baietii nu aveau inca un nume,astfel,dupa un concert,un barbat in varsta si beat a venit la ei si le-a spus “You guys look like a bunch of twisted sisters.”

103.U2:Intr-un interviu acordat acum cativa ani la MTV,Bono a spus ca numele trupei nu are nicio insemnatate speciala fiind doar o cifra si un numar alese la intamplare si care suna bine impreuna.

104.Van Halen:Ca si in cazul trupei Bon Jovi sau Ramones(aici e putin invers),Van Halen se numesc astfel dupa numele de familie a fratilor Eddie si Alex.

105.Velvet Rvolver:2 membri din trupa vroiau ca aceasta sa se numeasca Velvet iar ceilalti doi Revolver.In final au impacat pe toata lumea...

106.The Velvet Underground:Numele a fost ales dupa o carte cu tehnici de sado-masochism scrisa de Michael Leigh.

107.The Who:Mereu cand se intalneau,unul din ei era provocat sa aleaga un nume pentru trupa,intr-o zi cineva a glumit “The Who?”,astfel,intr-un findal s-au hotarat ca acesta ar fi un nume potrivit.

108.Yes:Solistul trupei,Jon Anderson a spus ca au ales acest nume la inceputul anilor ’60 pentru ca era unul usor de imprimat pe flururasii care le promovau concertele si ca era usor de tinut minte.

109.ZZ Top:Au vrut initial ca trupa sa se numeasca “Pizza Stop”,in final au luat singurele doua litere care se repeta in aceasta constructie si au facut-o sa sune ceva mai bine.

Cele mai bune produse muzicale de export europene

Pe langa numele imense din Marea Britanie care au pus stapanire pe toate top’urile si toate genurle muzicale,Europa a dat si alte cateva nume care au facut istorie.Daca ne gandim la “cea mai buna trupa rock a tuturor timpurilor” sigur vom zice The Beatles,Rolling Stones,Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd sau Queen,nume care au pus stapanire pe multi ani de muzica,fiind adevaratii pionieri ai rock’ului si in acelasi timp...europeni,mai exact din Marea Britanie,tara care a dat nume imense pentru multe industii de entertainment,in special cea muzicala.Desi mai jos gasim un numar impresionant de 60 de artisti/trupe din UK,principalul in aceasta postare sunt celelalte tari care au dat nume la fel de valoroase.

Dupa ce auzi(din intamplare sau nu)un cantec si repertoriul unei trupe/artist cauti ca vezi de unde a pornit,inevitabil tara din care vine.Pentru multi faptul ca provin din Europa dar nu si Marea Britania,loc care,ca muzician erai mereu pus in aceeasi fraza cu cei mentionati mai sus a reprezentat o piedica in drumul catre succes,radio’urile si top’urile din USA incercand pe cat posibil sa promoveze talentele autohtone,in perioada aia adevaratele voci venind in mare parte din Europa.Parerile sunt impartite,unii sustin ca rock n’roll’ul s-a nascut in Europa,altii tin cu America,probabil asa va fi intotdeauna dar noi,europenii stim sigur ca avem cele mai mari nume muzicale.

Finlanda,Suedia si Norvegia sunt doar cateva dintre tarile care au dat industriei muzicale nume mari,cele care au prins anii ’70-’80 avand un real succes,perioada ce a urmat fiind una neagra pentru artistii europeni(inca nu am gasit un termen care sa defineasca “europeni dar nu din Marea Britanie”).Am vrut initial sa fac o descriere pentru fiecare artist de mai jos,dar avand in vedere ca am facut si o lista cu cele mai mari nume date de UK m-am gandit ca ar fi prea mult(si asa am incercat sa ma rezum la 60 de nume).Pe viitor voi face o serie de postari care sa omagieze artistii europeni,pentru moment va prezint doar lista celor mai bune trupe europene.

Astept alte sugestii.De preferat nu din UK,aceste 60 de pozitii fiind doar un rezumat.
