Sorry About the Lack of Posts

I've been quite busy and my slow computer isn't helping much, so I haven't had much time to do any real thorough work on my blog. As a result, I'm giving you this George Thorogood song to listen to. Everyone likes George Thorogood!

Weird Wednesdays

Guess what. Today is Weird Wednesday! I'm showing you my favorite parody song writer. His name is Weird Al Yankovic. (Hence the Weird Wednesday) Here you can see my favorite song of his, Fat.

Weird Al Yankovic is an accordion playing parody song writer. His music videos have been quite popular in the 80's on MTV, and he is still making new parodies today.

Usually, he has a crazy look on his face. Or a  "weird" look if you prefer.

Well, I hope you enjoy your Wednesday today! And remember, we're half way through the week.

The Beatles- Inventors of Heavy Metal

It's about time I wrote a post about The Beatles. Almost everyone knows The Beatles. It's because they were great. But does everyone know that it was The Beatles who invented the genre Heavy Metal? See for yourself. The song appeared on the White Album (or The Beatles album).

And yes. He does yell "I've got blisters on my fingers!" at the end of the song.

It's kinda hard to imagine these people playing heavy metal music.

Going to Kansas.

Kansas is a very awesome band with amazing music. Their songs are still listened to often every day. The band's nice mixture of various instruments and vocal harmonies makes for each great song.
     Kansas was a band that originated in Boston. No. I was just kidding. The band originated in Kansas. Topeka, Kansas. Their first album was released in 1974.

This was not their most popular album though. It was their 6th album that was really popular. This album is one of their most famous albums. It is called "Leftoverture". This album featured my favorite song of theirs. Carry On My Wayward Son is my favorite song on the album. It is also one of the Kansas's greatest hits besides Dust In The Wind. Kansas is a great band to see live in concert which is why I got a live concert  video of Kansas playing Carry On My Wayward Son. You can see it below.

That's all I have to say for today. So, see you tomorrow!

Ram Jam!!

That guy second from the right has some serious 'stache!

This band could be considered a one hit wonder, (considering that I only know a couple of songs by this band) but I think that is was a great band. Ram Jam. It is an awesome name. The band's most popular song would have to be Black Betty which was their first single in 1977. It is a very fun song with a great guitar and drum part. The bass sounds pretty cool too. I have a video of Ram Jam performing their song, Black Betty, below.

This music video is really funny! I like how there's one random band member in the background just dancing not even playing anything. That bass guy's pretty scary though.

Feel free to comment on what you like about the video or band. I want to hear your opinion.

Led Zeppelin!!! Again.

Jimmy Page whips his hair back and forth!

Just as a forewarning I'm going to tell you this: I love Led Zeppelin. There are going to be many more posts about Led Zeppelin. Probably a lot more.

I have more where this came from. 

Today I'm showing a great song by Led Zeppelin. It is called Over The Hills And Far Away. It is a great song, and I like how Jimmy Page used his electric 6-string instead of his usual 12-string for the song. It puts a nice twist to it.

Also, does it ever occur to you that Robert Plant does this position a lot?

He does it in almost every single song!

P.S.- I got a post in! Maybe you won't have to wait until Saturday for a post!
