the History of Rock and Roll

I started listening to radio in early "70 At that time there was a lot of comedy television set up to review the band. There was, for example," Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour "with great music, interspersed with alien costumes good gentle bickering. Many of these comedies like "Partridge Family", with David Cassidy, "Getting Together" (with Bobby Sherman) and "Monkees", was used to make stars and loved as a teenager.
There were also a variety of programs such as "Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour." Glenn commented: "It's fantastic when you think about the power of television and movies, if you do not have a record, I never got on TV and movies, but the Goodtime Hour made my career explode all over the world." I loved shows, especially their music. TV, which always have a significant impact on the enjoyment of rock music, and even now.
And soon developed an interest in the history of rock and roll. The words "Rock and Roll", it seems, used first in 1951 by Cleveland disc jockey named Alan Freed, taken from the song "my baby rocks me with a roll of balance." It was in blues and traditional music that evolved in 1950, from rhythm and blues, and, using the terms "rock, roll, and rock and roll, etc.) to refer to sexual relations. Editors used the term to understand music with heavy rough and back to win the inclusion of eggs in his audience.
He started a radio program entitled "Moondog Rock and Roll Party", who played black music for white audiences, enthusiasm for black music has become contagious. In 1952, then released for a rock concert, and first and roll. Standard industry is aware that the new popular music, is and was created by blacks, has tried to exploit.
In 1952, "Bill Haley and Comets", became the first (black) rock and roll band at that time, although the United States were still divided along ethnic, largely. When Sam Phillips founded Sun Records, he said, "If you want to find a white man who sings with the Negro feel, I would make one million dollars."
In 1952, the theater, "television program on the air. In 1953, Bill Haley's "Crazy Man Crazy" became the first rock song to enter the Billboard charts. "Crying in the Chapel" by the Red Sox became the first black and white pop charts beginning. In 1954, Du Wop, a new type of black vocal harmony emerged, with the Earth Penguins' Angel (1954) and the à la carte "Just (1955).
Market bar machines deployed in the early '50 's, and the first solid body electric guitars were brought to market. In 1954, turned in record, in 45, and a transistor radio screen. Players are cheaper. Adolescents and now can listen to music wherever they want.
"American Graffiti", a very good film to shed light on early rock and roll. Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock was the first rock song used in film, and became the national anthem of rock and roll, rock and roll back to the success of the country in 1954.
In 1955, Chuck Berry became the main songwriter of rock and roll first (rather than just a translator). It was the first to be the lead guitar, and I descending pentatonic double-stops (the essence of rock guitar). Unfortunately, being black, he has not received the same broadcast music white so he is still one of the eminent persons. I remember him more for "Johnny Be Good"
Elvis Presley to record their first record was in 1954, and since his first visit (such as Good Rocking Tonight), everyone was black, to enable children to listen to black music. With great success, Rock "White" were not only tolerated but promoted by major record producers. Black Music (such as "Shake, Rattle, and Roll") was still strong, but the original.
Slowly but surely "White Rock" I played more than piano and guitar singers began to sing their own songs (instead of the professional composers). "Black Rock" was always written their own songs, composed on the guitar. This is how rock and roll became guitar-based, used a small combo instead of an orchestra, and, therefore, stressed the rhythm rather than harmony. Rock musicians and was expected to have a guitar in front of them, although most of them white I do not know how to play guitar.
The industry flourished and independent labels flourished. Until 1959, the market share of rock and roll was 42.7%. This, despite the bill proposed in Congress in 1955 to ban rock and roll band in the United States, fortunately, that did not happen!
In 1960, that saw the invasion, "British" rock bands. The Beatles and most important of these, made rock music most popular in America. Bob Dylan used rock and roll protest against war, poverty, and racism. He continued to rock and roll to develop and change.
Although rock and roll is still around, this does not mean the same thing as I did the first two decades. After the emergence of disco "70, many people thought rock was losing its authenticity, and returned with a hard rock and heavy metal. 80 rap, black movement, and became very popular. By the time 90 people were rock complaining later, it was very disappointing, then a very small group Hanson began with "mmm" Bob took the world by storm. other "boy bands" followed, along with shows and find them make them stars, and so far we have programs like "American Idol", which is very popular.
Rock Band seems to be Swinging up and down, more than anything is moving and changing American culture. The sound of our lives.

Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix was one of rock's few true originals. He was one of the most innovative and influential rock guitarists of the late '60s and perhaps the most important electric guitarist after Charlie Christian. His influence figures prominently in the playing styles of rockers ranging from Robin Trower to Vernon Reid to Stevie Ray Vaughan. A left-hander who took a right-handed Fender Stratocaster and played it upside down, Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before Hendrix had experimented with feedback and distortion, but he turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began. His expressively unconventional, six-string vocabulary has lived on in the work of such guitarists as Adrian Belew, Eddie Van Halen, and Prince. But while he unleashed noise--and such classic hard-rock riffs as "Purple Haze," "Foxy Lady," and "Crosstown Traffic"--with uncanny mastery, Hendrix also created such tender ballads as "The Wind Cries Mary," the oft-covered "Little Wing," and "Angel," and haunting blues recordings such as "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile." Although Hendrix did not consider himself a good singer, his vocals were nearly as wide-ranging, intimate, and evocative as his guitar playing. 

SLASH (GNR)

SLASH was born in Hampstead (London), England on July 23, 1965, and he was raised in Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, England. His given name is Saul Hudson. His mother was a Black American, and his father is a white Englishman. Both artistic parents worked in the entertainment field. His mother was a clothing designer for entertainers. She designed some of David Bowie's unforgettable costumes. His father provides art direction for record albums. Two notable clients are Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. On Friday, June 5, 2009, SLASH's mother Ola Hudson died of lung cancer in Los Angeles.

At age 11 SLASH moved to Los Angeles with his mother while his father remained based in England. Born in the UK, SLASH was an immigrant in the United States and was to remain one for many years. The family eventually lived together again in L.A. where SLASH had a rough transition to conservative Southern California. The long hair, jeans and t-shirts that he wore even then didn't exactly fit with the other kids. An outsider at school, he lived a bohemian life at home. Surrounded by artistic friends of his parents, SLASH grew accustomed to the moods and eccentricities of those in the music world. Frequent visitors at the Hudson household included Joni Mitchell, David Geffen, David Bowie, Ron Wood and Iggy Pop. SLASH has said that these surroundings prepared him for coping with the stress of the music industry, the conflict between artistry and business.

In the mid-1970's, his parents separated. SLASH moved in with his beloved grandmother until he could sort out the situation at home. About this time SLASH discovered BMX (bicycle motorcrossing), joined up with a group of kids, and rode with a passion. It's not surprising to hear that SLASH would ride without brakes! SLASH eventually became a professional BMX biker winning awards and money for his great riding.
