You’ll find that the Chuck and Eddie Show on MTV had a lot of different artists who were popular during that era. The most well-known ones were the duo of Kanye West and Jay Z. Kanye West and Jay Z had to be somewhat in denial when it came to the fact that they were the reason why this music was so popular in the beginning. It took a bit of time for them to admit that they were influenced by the music, but it’s there like a running joke for all the times that you see them together on stage. They got stronger as they went along with the songs and their fame only grew over the years.
Chris Cornell is another one of those artists: who had to be somewhat in denial when it came to the fact that he was listening to too much of the same music that everyone else was listening to. The Strokes were the heavy hitters of the eighties and these guys were often in the midst of the fights and the dissension that were going on within the group. It took some time for them to get back together and they were able to stay together for quite a few albums. This band had to be quite strong. They went through some dark times in their career, but they always remained relevant and that is what makes their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame worth watching today.
For you to have your music played: at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame you must have the ability to draw a crowd. Chris Cornell fits into this category of singers that had to be somewhat in denial to the fact that they were popular. People are always going to be surprised when they see the sound of his guitar and the voice of John Entwistle. These are just two of the many singers that are considered to be in the top five but these guys definitely fit in. When you have songs like this, you have to be somewhat in denial to realize that they are still popular.
Some of us who had gone through: the early stages of the punk movement we would go to Seattle and visit Seattle shows. Seattle was the hub for all things Alternative. There were always lots of bands like Sleaford, Minor 7th and others that made up the Seattle scene. Some of those bands would go on to be major players in the rock world. I would often visit Seattle with my brother in order to catch some of these Seattle shows.
When I think about this I think about: how I would hang out with him outside of the band even if there were only a few people in the audience. I would go to his place when he came over to watch a movie with my sister in the summer or some other time. It wasn’t until much later that he told me what he was into. He said that he was into this band called Pentatonic and they were really good. The only problem was that he wasn’t sure why he didn t listen to them as much as he used to.
That was what he told me: and when he said he was into Pentatonic I could tell that it was going to be the next big thing. Eventually he got together with some other hardcore Seattle musicians and started the band Pentatonic. This is a band that has been playing out for a long time and has not let go much yet. They continue to tour and they are constantly bringing new music and interesting changes to their songs. This is a band that will be around for many years to come and they have a crazy live stage show that is hard to resist.
If you want to listen to some good solid and true guitar songs, then listen to the new Pentatonic album and you will not be disappointed.
