I loved that, but how in the hell has a guy who looks like that and obviously plays guitar never heard Rush?
Completely agree, I think 75% of these supposed "first time hearing" videos are obviously not truthful.
Either way, it made me have the “feel good” laughs. The way he says “this is sick” then eye rolls when the synthesizer kicks in was great, especially after his eyes quickly went big and then squinty.
Correct. I’ve seen ones of Metallica or Rage and they act shocked when they’ve already done reviews on several songs of the same band.
i think musical taste and exposure can be pretty silo'd based on what you're exposed to when you're young also this lets me suspend disbelief
wait till he hears Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhodes and subsequently finds out they are no longer here. It will be a roller coaster of emotions.
Why? I grew up out west. No one in my family listened to it and non of my peers did. It wasn’t until I moved to the south.
I grew up in California on classical and opera and then went to Berkeley and we sure as shit rocked out to Free Bird with the vegan hippies in socialist co-op housing there
no offense but you realize Professor Moriarty is black, right? Southern rock isn’t high on the playlist on the west coast. You listen to what your parents listen to but mostly what your peers do. I grew up in two worlds my stoner/sufer heavy metal friends and my black friends. I grew up listening to Ozzy, classic rock, rap and 70s R&B and funk. Southern Rock wasn’t a thing in my youth.
I grew up on soul music, R&B, jazz and funk and when hit the prime age was when rap emerged in the 80s. No one I knew or hung out with listened to southern rock. Not a lot of black folks singing rock songs from the south in the Bay Area.
My dad who loves rock music never played southern rock. IDK when I first listened to LS but can’t imagine it was before I turned 18-20.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard Free Bird. Edit: Or at least known it. I’ve seen Forrest Gump but I wouldn’t have known that’s what I’d heard
I feel like half of this board would look at you quizzically if you asked them whether they've heard Stairway to Heaven.
I'm not even sure what to make of this post. Quizzically? As if they aren't familiar with Stairway to Heaven?
FYI people regularly argue this if you aren’t joking "Free Bird" achieved the No. 3 spot on Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos.[13] It is Lynyrd Skynyrd's signature song, the finale during live performances, and their longest song, often going well over 14 minutes when played live.[14] I’m not, but people do
let’s compare one of the greatest rock bands of all time to a niche southern rock band. Let’s do that.
I'm a Cuban guy born and raised in Miami who primarily listened to DJ Laz, Chino Latino and 2 Live Crew growing up, and even with that I'd heard Free Bird since I was like 5 years old. I can't even comprehend someone not ever hearing that song. I can buy someone listening to the song now saying they didn't realize that it was called Free Bird, but not that they never heard it before.
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-artists-147446/roy-orbison-90581/ I mean everything is subjective for example this list has the ramones above prince, David Bowie, and the band now while this is a crime against humanity, it also is what it is that being said skynard is 95 and LZ is 14
