Megadeth

Amazon.com – Executive Summary

After left Metallica in 1983, guitarist / vocalist Dave Mustaine formed the thrash metal quartet Megadeth. Megadeth became one of the leading bands of the genre during the mid '80s and late '80s. By the early '90s, they had toned their music down slightly, yet that simply increased their following;

Throughout Megadeth's many lineup changes, the two core members were bassist Dave Ellefson and guitarist / vocalist Dave Mustaine (born September 13, 1961), who was the band's official leader. He formed Megadeth with Ellefson, Slayer guitarist Kerry King, and drummer Lee Rauch. This lineup was extremely short-lived, and Mustaine and Ellefson soon recruited guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuelson.

For the next few years, Megadeth toured and gained a following, signing with the independent label Combat in late 1984. The following year, the group released their debut, Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!, which received strong reviews, not only in metal-oriented publications, but also in mainstream music magazines. By the end of the year, the group had signed with Capitol. Megadeth's first major-label album, Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?, was released in the fall of 1986. The new lineup debuted on So Far, So Good...So What!, released early in 1988. So Far, So Good peaked at number 28 on the charts and also eventually went platinum (despite less enthusiastic reviews).

By the end of the year 1990, he was not only sober, but he had reconvened the band, firing Young and Behler and replacing them with guitarist Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza. This lineup recorded Megadeth's fourth and most progressive album, Rust in Peace. The record peaked at number 23 on the American charts and went platinum. 1991 saw Metallica break through to the mainstream, and sensing the possibility for similar success, Mustaine followed suit in stripping down the band's sound, though it remained as technically perfectionistic as Rust in Peace. The result, Countdown to Extinction, was released in 1992, entering the charts at number two; the record went double platinum and became the band's biggest hit, confirming that they had retained their audience in the wake of grunge.

Now Megadeth moved further toward the mainstream with Youthanasia in 1994, which entered the charts at number four and, like its predecessor, went platinum. The following year, the group released Hidden Treasures, a rarities collection that featured some of the soundtrack tunes that had helped expand the group's MTV audience in the early '90s. 1997's Cryptic Writings found Megadeth fully embraced by album rock radio, which formerly would never have touched the band. Ex-Suicidal Tendencies drummer Jimmy DeGrasso signed on in 1998, in time for the following year's Risk. In 2000, following the release of the best-of Capitol Punishment, Marty Friedman followed Nick Menza out the door; he was replaced by former Savatage and Alice Cooper guitarist Al Pitrelli. After signing with the BMG subsidiary Sanctuary, Megadeth debuted its new lineup on 2001's The World Needs a Hero.

While on break from touring, Mustaine suffered a serious injury in January 2002 while staying in Texas. During his time off, Mustaine prepared an elaborate reissue campaign, remastering each album and reissuing them all with bonus material. This campaign set the stage for a Megadeth revival, which came in 2004-2005 with a surprising comeback album, The System Has Failed, and some heavy touring. Capitol released a new best-of, simply titled Greatest Hits, just as Megadeth hit the summer concert circuit, headlining Mustaine's own Gigantour festival. In 2007 Megadeth released the politically charged United Abominations.

Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath Paranoid Rock Music CD Review
Executive Summary by Clyde Lee Denis

The exceptionally talented Rock group Black Sabbath have released their CD entitled Paranoid. Paranoid literally grabs your attention right from the very first note with War Pigs / Luke’s Wall and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song Jack The Stripper / Fairies Wear Boots, which is another great track by the way.
Paranoid has a pleasantly varied, mix of 8 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. Overall Paranoid is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Black Sabbath's best to date. If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this album.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - Planet Caravan, track 6 - Hand Of Doom, and track 8 - Jack The Stripper / Fairies Wear Boots. My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - War Pigs / Luke’s Wall. This is a great track!

Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin is the #1 Rock and Roll Band of All Time
Executive Summary By Peter Cross

I've been in rock and roll all my life and I believe that Jimmy is the most brilliantly prolific of all the great rock and roll guitarists. As a songwriter, Jimmy used his superior ability to play lead guitar to create actual song structure. Jimmy's riffs differ from each other within each song, and also from song to song.


The intricate way in which he wove his bass guitar playing into, through, and underneath Jimmy's guitar playing is nothing short of perfection itself. CREATIVE SONGWRITING Hardly anybody has ever covered Led Zep songs for very good reasons. The Beatles certainly deserve abject worship for John and Paul's creative songwriting ability, no question about that.

I'm talking about 9 Led Zep albums chock full of brilliant and intensely high songs - I don't know how many hours of great rock and roll listening that is. STAGE PRESENCE Led Zep was there when the concept of "rock and roll star" was still evolving.

There will never be another rock and roll band to approach the stratospheric musical heights that Led Zep reached.

DEEP PURPLE

"Machine Head" - Deep Purple
Executive Summary By Enrico Monsanto

The album kicks off with the fast-paced "Highway Star". One of their most recognizable songs, it boasts of complicated guitar and organ solos by Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord, respectively. Like most of the songs in this release, both tracks have more that its share of fretboard brilliance by Blackmore and keyboard fireworks by Lord. Compared to any lesser rock songs, this is defintely topnotch. The last three songs closes the "Machine Head" experience with a loud bang. "Smoke on the Water" doesn't need any introduction anymore. The next song "Lazy" sounds like a jam to me.

Release: 1972

Tracks listing: 1. Highway Star; 2. Maybe I'm A Leo; 3. Pictures Of Home; 4. Never Before; 5. Smoke On The Water; 6. Lazy; 7. Space Truckin'

Band members: Ian Gillan - vocals, harmonica; Ritchie Blackmore - lead guitar; Jon Lord - piano, organ, keyboards; Roger Glove - bass guitar; Ian Paice - drums

Rock Music

Rock Music Has Many Genres
Executive Summary about Rock Music By Kati Makat

Rock music was subsequently mixed with many other elements of music to give their own touch to rock music. So in 1970s jazz was blended with rock to create jazz rock music, and then it was blended with folk music resulting in folk rock and later Latin, soul and funk music also had its influences on rock music at times. Today we have different categories under rock music and some of the popular ones are heavy metal rock, progressive rock, blues rock, soft rock, punk rock and techno rock among others.

In the 1980’s and 1990’s many new additional genres of rock music such as Brit pop rock, Indie rock, alternative rock, hard rock and grunge style rock were introduced. The kind of rock music that Pink Floyd was sang was known as psychedelic rock. The folk scene combined with rock gave the new term folk rock. Music be it of any kind rock music, house music, gospel music, folk music or country music each has its own touch and of course its own group of loyal followers.

The Unsung Greats of Classic Rock
Executive Summary about Rock Music By Matthew Kepnes

No matter what era you were born in since the 70's almost ANY band you listen to would have been influenced by artists and bands from this era. The seventies was a great era for music because it truly was a ground breaking time for original music. Jimmy Page etc but there are other extremely talented and influential guitarists who are less well known that should be in the legend status as well. Deep purple: Guitarist: Richie Blackmore: Choice albums: Made in Japan and Deep Purple in Rock, Songs: Highway Star, Child in Time.
