I got to talking with some friends of mine at work. One of the guys was saying that in rock music the only really great bands, the ones that have had the biggest impact on rock music, were the British bands. I wanted to argue against his point but could not come up with an argument that had much ground. Not that what he was saying was completely true, I just couldn’t argue with him at the time.
Since then I have started to look more closely at some of the British rock bands that are out today and found that most of them are Punk bands. The very first Punk band that I started listening to was the Arctic Monkeys. I picked up their CD ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ and I have got to say that I love this CD.
The drummer, Matt Helders, sure knows how to play a set of high hats. His chops were clean and at times, lightning quick. Most of the music is bass/drum driven and both the drummer and the bass player, Andy Nicholson, complement each other very well. My favorite song on the CD is ‘Old Yellow Bricks’ (which I would definatly add to my song list if I were in a band) followed by a close second to ‘The Bad Thing’
I got this CD a couple of days ago and have played it at least 20 times. I am not even that into punk rock.
Also I posted a new poll today asking how many of you actually record yourself. By this I mean either practicing or at a gig. My instructor has asked me every time I come in for the last month if I started to record myself yet. Next time I go in, I want to finally say that I have. I just wondered how many of you do too.
