can you clarify "Southern"? i'm new here ...

Posted by: TimT Jan 23 2004, 05:14 PM

hmmmmmmmm I guess Southern Rock was a genre popular in the '70 to late 80's, most bands came from the southern US ie texas, the southeast etc..

I grew up practicing my drums to southern rock so it has a special place in my heart. Marshall Tuckers "Can't you see" is my next favorite song.
Best concert was at the Paramount Theater in Seattle it was the Outlaws opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd when Lynyrd was playing Freebird the 3 guitarists
from the Outlaws joined them on stage it was a religious experience.
I forgot to mention Johnny Winter (Rock and Roll huchie Coo)

Edgar and Johny Winter are from my neck of the woods. Port Arthur, Texas. Janis Joplin too. They have a big b-day bash for her this weekend as a matter of fact. The Museum of the GUlf Coast has a replica of her 356, pretty cool.

Posted by: Uncle Richy Jan 23 2004, 08:10 PM

ZZ. No better southern rock song than La Grange.

Posted by: Uncle Richy Jan 23 2004, 08:11 PM

Posted by: URY914 Jan 23 2004, 08:43 PM

The Outlaws-"Green grass and high tides"

They were a Tampa band that made it.

ok, who has heard of....


THE BEAT FARMERS!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: redshift Jan 23 2004, 08:48 PM

Dixie Dregs, I mean, someone here has to be a little ecle... eclec... different.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jan 23 2004, 08:52 PM

I think it's "highly" debatable as to wether or not ZZ is to be categorized as a "Southern Rock" band. They are one of the best Texas Blues Rock bands I've heard and frankly (or is that Frank Beardly) one of the best Blues Rock bands (and just plain ole best Rock bands) ever, but not a Southern Rock band (in my book) hence my vote goes with my fellow Michigander...

Allman Brothers.

Hard to beat that one...

Posted by: URY914 Jan 23 2004, 09:05 PM

Any one heard of "The Whitehoods"?
Big in the '50's and '60's, then they had to go underground.

Paul

Posted by: TimT Jan 23 2004, 09:09 PM

Yea Dixie Dregs, I saw them a few times in a lil place in Amityville

Then there was thes Allman Bros, Grateful Dead thing at some racetrack.... Watkins Glen... yea thats it....

Marshall Tucker....

Posted by: redshift Jan 23 2004, 09:16 PM

I see Greg Allman occasionally, I'll mention the fans. (I won't say anything about our cars though.. heh)

So, Holly lives in Hialeah FL, and it's about 6pm, and there comes a thunderous crash, she runs outside to see Greg coming across the yard, bare feet, from what's left of a 87 vette parked where the telephone pole used to be. He lived there for a couple weeks.

Dickey likes my Les Pauls.

You can't get away from the Allmans, at least I can't.

Posted by: URY914 Jan 23 2004, 09:17 PM

Allman Brothers-"Eat A Peach" so named because Duane Allman ran into the back of a peach truck on his scooter and was killed.

Posted by: URY914 Jan 23 2004, 09:19 PM

How about Sea Level.
Chuck Levell and who else from the Allmans?

Paul

Posted by: East coaster Jan 23 2004, 09:23 PM

Limp Biz-kit!!! Hey they're from Jackonville......For you Dixie Dregs guys, I met Steve Morrisey(sp?) and he's a really cool dude. He's a fellow pilot and owns and old Mexican military jet.

Posted by: redshift Jan 23 2004, 09:24 PM

Hey man, Tattoo Bob did most of my stuff, when we'd play Macon, we'd eat at the Soup Kitchen, where they all used to eat, and then drive over to Rose Hill Cemetary to have drinks with Berry, and Duane, we'd play Melissa, and One Way Out, and when we'd get really lit up, I'd start screaming Whippin Post.

Sometimes I feel...

The Allmans were never better than at the Filmore.

Posted by: Mike D. Jan 23 2004, 10:31 PM

DUDES...

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble -

I also partial to the musical stylings of "SCOTS" - Souther Culture On The Skids - with songs like "Fried Chicken and Gasoline" and "8 Piece Box"...

Oh yeah...

CAR BUFFS!

Poison. 'nuff said.

Posted by: Neal Jan 24 2004, 12:23 AM

I agree that some of these bands are not Southern Rock but because the south is blues and country based then all these bands are (Southern) rock/blues...etc
If it makes you want to run into a brick wall then it's southern rock...

Posted by: URY914 Jan 24 2004, 06:09 AM

Southern Rock makes you what to get a mullet cut, drink beer and always refer to your wife/girlfriend as "My ol' lady". Also, if your house has wheels under it, you're prob'ly a Southern Rock fan.

Paul

Posted by: maf914 Jan 24 2004, 07:15 AM

You mean if you keep your spare wheels in the basement?

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 24 2004, 09:38 AM

the Amazing Rhythm Aces. i would add the Blasters but they prob don't count as southern.

I have fond memories of a .38 Special concert at Red Rocks. Purple Pharaoh, grain alcohol, a chick in a string knit bikini, and Mickey Mouse characters playing in a band on the rocks above the stage...

Posted by: Racer Chris Jan 24 2004, 09:58 AM

Way back when, I had an album by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils that I liked a lot.

And how about Leon Redbone? Yeah, I know it's not southern rock, but I never liked southern rock anyway. :finger2:

Posted by: URY914 Jan 24 2004, 03:44 PM

Skynyrd would be my favorite southern rock band. I like everything from hendrix to tool.

John

Posted by: Neal Jan 24 2004, 10:11 PM

On a new direction Pantera is a nice mellow rock band.

Posted by: rezron Jan 24 2004, 11:35 PM

The Allmans and Skynyrd are great- as well as a little
Ruby Star with Black Oak Arkansas! But I still do like
the sound of a little Flirtin with Disaster!
