After playing with the band for a few years he decided to leave them and shortly after he did he had an opportunity to audition for another band called “Nirvana” in Seattle. He was hired to play the drums which he did until the band fell apart after the lead singer “Kurt Cobbain” committed suicide at his home in Seattle, Washington. Though he had great success with the band “Nirvana” he found even greater success when he started another band or “Foo Fighters”. Foo Fighters had several hits over the years and much success. One of my favorite songs or the earliest song I recall hearing by them was “Everlong” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y) . The music video “Everlong” was nominated for best Rock Video at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. The first time I heard the song was with a childhood friend or “Chris” who played the song on his mother’s stereo while I was visiting his younger brother and it just clicked. We shared a similar sense of music or style of music so this as well as many other songs favored were similar in nature. I’m planning on going to a Foo Fighters concert next time they are perform locally, I think they will continue to play and release albums just like the Rolling Stones and…
only for the beloved music he produced and for his influence on the evolution and success…
"We just played it, just wore it out. The content of the song lyrics and just the attitude—it was incredibly original and wonderful." (George Harrison, 1993)…
He didn’t have the easiest life, his mother left him at the age of ten and sold herself into prostitution. He also had little contact with his father throughout his life. At an early age he was physically and sexually abused and when he was fourteen he got expelled from school in 8th grade and never came back. Instead he worked jobs as a janitor, shoe shiner, and many other professions. Although these obstacles in his childhood did not deter him in the future. In fact…
His music was able to live on, even after four decades. Many people still talk about Elvis and listen to his music. He wasn’t like other musicians, he used his many talents to entertain many. His music was very catchy and also told stories, which helped him later win many awards. Also, because of Elvis’s many awards, it helps today’s generation remember who Elvis was. Little Richard and Chuck Berry aren’t very well known in today’s generation unlike how Elvis is. With Elvis being remembered the way he is, it shows that he truly is the “King of Rock N’…
Michael was a musical icon for many. He was also an innocent man in the eyes of many. His musical career was extremely inspiring and seemly rewarding. I know that along his journey he has met some great vocalist and musicians in the same. It is unfortunate the way his journey started and ended. Even as Michael Jackson is today not alive, his legacy and music still lives on for all ages to remember and…
The former lead vocalist of Queen has one of the strongest voices in Rock music. His vocal range is a four-octave, which is commonly the range of classical singers. Mercury's vocals shine on songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," and "We Are the Champions." In 2001, Queen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.…
Even though he pushed himself to better his life, and get away from the unappreciated work, his body still remembered the hard work he went through. After the years of all the difficult work, his body “began to give out on him in his fifties, and it quit on him entirely before he turned sixty-five” (170). For most boys, they just followed in their father’s footsteps, taking those hard, body aching jobs. “They were bound to work as their fathers had worked, killing themselves or preparing to kill other”…
He influenced teenagers sending a message insuring them that they will be okay, even when they live in a world full of negativity. He always made people feel like they were alive and important, because he cared about each and every one of his fans. His song “Brenda’s Got a Baby” impacted a lot of people, because it was actually a problem in society. There were teenagers having babies at such a young age, they were selling their body’s and drugs, just to be able to survive and provide for their family. In this song he says, “That’s not our problem that’s up to Brenda’s family, well let me show you how it affects our whole community.” He says this because situations like those really do affect the whole community. He always wanted people to understand those things.…
In exactly 4 days, 29 years ago, the greatest song of all time was reveled. The king of rock, Queen, let their new single hit the stores. It was titled Bohemian Rhapsody, and it soon reigned supreme. It was the biggest song for about nine weeks, and became England’s third best selling song to this day. Freddie Mercury is the lead singer of Queen and wrote most of their greatest hits including Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Mercury died in 1991 which brought more popularity to the band. Whenever someone mentions Queen, the song Bohemian Rhapsody will always come to mind. Bohemian Rhapsody is a story of a child’s guilt about killing another man, and how he can move…
He wasn’t just some junkie that made music, he was a true artist who is appreciated and will never be forgotten. It’s evident what kind of impact that he has left on the music industry, even today in this generation you can ask people of the younger age groups about Marvin Gaye and they will know him because the music and work he put into his master pieces are timeless. “Gaye’s last public performance was on February 13, 1993 performing the “Star-Spangled Banner” at the NBA all-start game in Inglewood, California” (Grow). A day before his 45th birthday Marvin and his father got into a heated argument and his own father shot him in the heart, then in his shoulder. He was taken to the hospital and was pronounced dead the same day. This goes to show how love and hate are basically the same thing and will drive you to do things that you can’t imagine. The charges if murder were dropped on the father because they found traces of cocaine in Marvin’s system and he had a brain tumor that he didn’t he didn’t tell anyone about. Hopefully this paper has opened your eyes to the world of Marvin Gaye and his trials and tribulations to make it as…
Elvis’s fans were very sad because the felt such a close connection with him(when elvis died ). Elvis made his friends and family feel loved and cared for in any situation. I can see that Elvis was a loving and caring person. His music and movies helped make people have special connections but most of it helped bring out the the best in his fans and family. Elvis left his world being a role model, and people wanting to be just like him(lagrange). He was a big influence on upcoming singer and we still see his influence even today. Elvis is one of the greatest artist of all time. He had a humble beginning, but in the end he was the King of Rock ‘n…
Princess Diana was a very kind hearted woman, noble by blood, famous by marriage, but used her public light in a positive way.…
Today we are celebrating your Bar-Mitzvah, the time that they call the “acceptance of all the mitzvot.” As your older brother, I can tell you that its not the easiest part of growing up, but Dad would want me to say that you must always work your best to realize the importance of being a Jew and too love judaism. In celebrating your Bar Mitzvah this shabbos, and going on in life, you must always remember the core of who you are as a jew and what you represent. As I watch you grow and become a man, I think about who you are already. Your spirit and enthusiasm for life is something that was innate to you since you were born, and you must use that excitement for life forever. The most…
There were times when he came home from school and he only had time to put his books and get ready for the studio. He often sang until late at night, even if it was past his bedtime. There was a park across the street from the studio, and Michael looked at the kids playing games. And he just stared at them in wonder — he couldn't imagine such freedom, such a carefree life.…
