so many young collectors are being mislead

[ComicConnoisseur]

Pat is right: you need to recognize the overall value, even if you don’t like the music genre. You also can’t prescind from time, culture, general context when making evaluations in a balanced way.

That’s what I was saying to 1950s war comics about the comics: sometimes direct comparision are difficult, if you are not careful they are very misleading.

 

The Beatles: not a big fan either, but when you listen to the 1968 albums from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks, you get a great picture of the moment.

 

My favorites must be "While my guitar gently weeps" and "Sympathy for the devil" but overall I just love the Kinks lyrics.

Anyone else notice the parallels between the rock n roll industry compared to the comic book industry in that most of all the big mainstream rock acts and mainstream comic book keys happened between 1961 to 1994?

 

It also seems like rock n roll looks to have been hit harder in the modern era then comic books have.

An example for me is I can at least name some new modern comic book hits like Saga, and The Walking Dead, but I can`t really name one new big modern rock group that came out these last 5 years.

btw I love rock. I guess I have been out of the rock and roll loop since the mid-1990s(Nirvana and the other grunge acts).

The music lacks overdriven amps and hostility. Not for me. But gimme some Richie Valens, and Chuck Berry.

Jason, you need to upgrade there is a lot of new stuff you may enjoy.

New stuff?

Hall and Oates I've seen a few times. I've seen +live+ about 25 times, Rush about 15 times, Phil Collins about 10 times, Genesis a few times, Pink Floyd once, hrm...let's see...I went to the big Faith No More/Metallica/GnR show once though it was only for Metallica. We also had a big thing in Central New York called the K-Rock-a-Thon where I saw a lot of "alternative" bands, including Staind and Evanescence before they were big. I was into Drowning Pool a lot then and went just to see them but it was a bonus that other groups were on the same stage. The show lasted for like 15 hours or something. One band I've never seen live is Marillion, and they're my favorite of all time.

 

Peace,

I have a case of Major Inapak from the fifties if you want them.

via pm.

 

Sorry, but someone already posted before you.

But I don't think he recited the Pledge of Allegiance, backwards, standing on his head, so it was still up for grabs.

 

I think there was already a negotiation going on via PM... time to check timestamps...

Alright, dinguses, enough with the music derails. There's a water closet for that purpose.

[Illustrious]

Jimmy Linguini is my favorite music artist at the moment.

[MrBedrock]

I could begin to list all of the bands I have seen live...but it would end up being a post like greggy's Strawberry Shortcake and I might get a wrist-slap.

[namisgr]

Bob Marley and the Wailers.

It's scary how many bands I've seen in my lifetime.Hell in one weekend in the summer of 1983 I went to the US Festival in San Bernardino,Calif. there were 40 bands from Van Halen,Judas Priest,Scorpions,Ozzy etc to David Bowie,Willie Nelson.

I've never been to a concert, but I have read plenty of comics.

They were like 45 minutes late getting onstage.David Lee Roth comes out in this big azz cape and a bottle of Jack Daniels. Good time!

[Buzzetta]

I like K&TG too, they're awesome. But calling Dylan and the GG spoon?....Next you're gonna say the Beatles suk.

Nope, I love the Beatles. They were actually great.

 

Lump Marley in with Dylan, The Dead and the Stones...worthless overrated no-talent crapola.

I guess music is like art, that everyone has different tastes. At least it gives us something to argue over a couple of beers. (thumbs u

 

Tell me about Phish, the Smiths, Jimmy Buffett and Billy Joel

how old are you? 60?

Not even 40

 

[DavidTheDavid]

someone was debating me that there are more comic shops than there are sportscards shops, and even though it was off topic I had originally said that sportscards was a much larger hobby than comics fanbase wise, I am no longer arguing this point as I was willing to concede they may be closer to equal nowadays, and I was giving the other guy the benefit of there maybe being more comic shops than there really is,,, that's all

 

Gotta give it to you for stamina. Most OPs would have abandoned this thread by now.

 

My , keep in mind just how much experience, history, and knowledge many of these boardies have. There are several extraordinarily knowledgeable folks on this board, so maybe considering some of their opinions is worth your time.
