Long Live Rock 'N' Roll

'True, Fine Rock 'N' Roll' By the mid 1950s, Rock 'N' Roll had established itself and its sound, but there were still artists pushing the boundaries and exploring the avenues of the genre.'Here's Little Richard' is one of those albums that made such a significant contribution to the genre's progression and development.

In this show, we aim to determine which type of song rules supreme: The Cover or The Original! Does writing the music and lyrics grant you immortality in having come up with the initial work? Or is it how you take those lyrics/music and develop it into something special that matters more? In our next battle of the 'Covers vs Originals' war, we take a look at 4 more covers chosen by ourselves and our listeners and discuss & debate whether it is better than the original. And so continues the game for many 'Cover vs Original' episodes to come to determine… which is better - the cover or the original? Going in to Part 3 -  Covers: 10 Originals: 6 This episode: 1.

'Rock Ain't For Keeping' The Who cemented themselves as one of the most iconic and important Hard Rock bands with their 5th album, 'Who's Next'. We explore the groundbreaking sounds, innovative techniques, and timeless themes that make this album a cornerstone of rock music. Bringing a host of progressive and innovative features to the forefront - such as the use of synthesisers and electronic effects, continuity of conceptual themes/lyrics, dynamic songwriting - all mixed with raw Hard Rock energy proved that The Who were the best in class at the beginning of the 70s, leading from the front in the development and progression of Hard Rock!

'The Freedom Of Music' Rush's 7th studio album, 'Permanent Waves', marked a departure from their earlier sound and embraced a more diverse musical palette. Incorporating synthesisers more heavily and refining songs into simpler structures with a more radio friendly accessibility, Rush changed their own trajectory and gained many new fans/plaudits from this release. Whether you're a die-hard Rush fan or discovering 'Permanent Waves' for the first time, join us as we dive into Rush's most successful album (up to that point) and explore the fine balance achieved between Progressiveness and Accessibility coupled with Peart's traditional lyrics commenting on society and freewill.

Episode 64 - 'Praise For Absolution' Muse's third album, 'Absolution', presents us with everything that worked for 'Origin Of Symmetry', but elevated to the next level! The genius of Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme is on display as electronic soundscapes, symphonic elements and classically inspired passages are combined with Hard Rock to give us this innovative record that didn't necessarily introduce new musical concepts, but helped redefine the possibilities within Alternative Rock.

Are Holograms and Avatars the future of live music?  Last year, KISS announced that they would "live on eternally" through their brand new avatars who would take over the roles of KISS from their human counterparts and opened up a world of touring and viewing options for them. ABBA successfully executed the Voyage tour - using 160 cameras to capture facial expressions and body movements to simulate a real show. Meanwhile Dio, Tupac and Zappa's deaths did not stop them from touring- as their holograms were tested with real live bands backing them to, again, try to simulate a real show. In this episode, we debate and discuss in great depth the pros and cons of all of the experiments listed above, try to ascertain whether or not this tarnishes or furthers a legacy and ask ourselves: Would we go to a virtual gig?

'You Can Hear The Hats & The Beards!' ZZ Top's US breakthrough came in 1973 - in the form of the short, but sweet 'Tres Hombres'! Tastefully and seamlessly combining Rock, Blues, Soul and Boogie, ZZ Top carried the torch for the traditional Blues/Soul efforts, but fused it with the 70s Hard Rock of the time, whilst also paving the way for many future Rock bands to adopt this multi-genre approach. A simple album in sound and feel, yet a substantial and important effort from the famed Texans. Laz & Felipe look into this album!

'Sweet Sounds Of Stones' Dubbed as their best work in decades, The Rolling Stones are back with a brand new album! 'Hackney Diamonds' is their 24th (UK) studio album and is their first original work since 2005's 'A Bigger Bang'. Receiving great critical praise and enjoyed by the fans, Laz & Felipe ask: how did The Rolling Stones create another brilliant album so deep into their career?

'Rock's Run Riot' Following Rick Allen's loss of his left arm after a car accident, Def Leppard's follow up to their momentous 'Pyromania' was a long process. Beginning in 1984 and ending in 1987, 'Hysteria' took 3 years and several producers to complete! The band set out to make a Rock version of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' - hoping every song could be a hit single. This goal came to fruition when Leppard released SEVEN of the twelve tracks from the album over an 18 month period and, subsequently, sold over 20,000,000 copies - 12,000,000 of which coming from the USA.

Episode 59: Understanding Eddie Van Halen - Interview with Steven Rosen In the newest episode we have the absolute pleasure of chatting with and interviewing Steven Rosen - a renowned rock journalist who has finally released his long-awaited book about the friendship he shared with the late great guitar player Edward Van Halen. Steve has previously authored seven other books including biographies on Jeff Beck, Free/Bad Company, Black Sabbath and Randy Rhoads, and writes about what it was like being friends with one of the most iconic guitar players in the world - with whom he shared many hours at his Hollywood home, his 5150 studio, on aeroplanes, in cars - and even jamming on several occasions with Van Halen! Steve was authorised to write Edward's biography back in 1985 but due to several delays by Eddie, followed by his illness and then a disagreement with Rosen, the book never came to light. In order to tell the story accurately, Steven pored over hours of interviews and peered deep inside distant memories to create a book unlike any other out there. Laz & Felipe are delighted to have Steven on the show and to talk about all things Eddie Van Halen! 'Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen' by Steve Rosen is out now and available for purchase here: TONECHASER BOOK [https://www.tonechaserbook.com/] (tonechaserbook.com)- a must have for any Van Halen, Guitar or Rock fan this Christmas!

'Now And Then, We Miss You' 60 years after forming the most iconic band the world has ever seen, The Beatles are back (we still can't believe we've typed this sentence!) with a brand new song and their last ever new single. Using John Lennon's voice from a 70s demo, George Harrison's guitar work from a 90s session and new Drum and Bass tracks recorded by Ringo and Paul in 2023, the Fab Four have continued their legacy as innovators and pioneers by using new AI technology to extract audio and splice these different tracks together to create a brand new song! In an emotionally charged episode, Laz & Felipe discuss, in detail, the last ever new Beatles song.

Episode 55 - 'Hooray!' Struggling to make inroads in the world of American Hard Rock, GFR omitted the 'Railroad' from their name and rebranded to 'Grand Funk'. Combined with bringing in a new producer, sharing lead vocal duties between Don Brewer and Mark Farner and tidying up their playing, Grand Funk Railroad executed an album that celebrates all American music that has come before, but packaged in a very neat and complete 70s Hard Rock album.  Episode 55 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/16BP7dUGgXtXjuDAepIuDj?si=mt854WQPRYKHxRX8mxUkug LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

'American Pie' (Album) - Don McLean (1971) 'Everybody Loves Don, Baby' In 1971, following the breakup of The Beatles, the rise of solo artists and singer/songwriters became apparent with the likes of Carole King, James Taylor and Neil Young in the US and Elton John and Cat Stevens in the UK, taking big steps in the music world and making names for themselves.  Don McLean's second album, 'American Pie' elevated him to this success - largely thanks to the two tracks dedicated to other artists: "American Pie" for Buddy Holly and "Vincent" for Vincent Van Gogh - with the soft, sweet nature of his voice added to the beautifully intricate guitar playing presenting a level of emotion and poignancy to audiences that became legendary! Laz and Felipe dive into the lyrics, music and emotional content of this famous album about America and Love.  Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2xAKFXTSXMf6FCTc0hQhVv?si=dM7oVFJcQyKcXtaus7uGmg LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 51 - 'American Pie' (Song) - Don McLean (1971) 'The Day The Music Thrived'  From the album of the same name, Don McLean released 'American Pie' - a song about the loss of culture, American values and innocence across a 10 year period throughout America.  Concerning the death of a musician, the change in popular music style, the ever-changing political landscape of the USA and the Vietnam War, Don takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings through this 8 and a half minute epic that is, arguably, one of the most famous songs in Rock 'N' Roll history.  Laz & Felipe, in a special episode, focus solely on this song and analyse/breakdown the lyrics of each verse and what they could mean/represent.  * Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2g6Tw8jZJ1HkBUCLGxvaIy?si=FInRR0NSS5C4nucq_JWpsg * American Pie Full Lyric Explanation: https://www.musicgrotto.com/american-pie-song-meaning-don-mclean/ * American Pie Full Lyric Analysis: https://web.archive.org/web/20200118091344/http://understandingamericanpie.com/index.htm LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL  - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 50: 'Eat 'Em And Smile' by David Lee Roth (1986) 'Shy Boys (Not!)' Having parted ways with Van Halen in early 1985, David Lee Roth assembled a star studded supergroup consisting of Billy Sheehan on Bass, Steve Vai on Guitar and Greg Bissonette on Drums - to help him write and record his debut album, 'Eat 'Em And Smile'.  With a wide range of styles available including Glam Rock, Blues, Rock 'N' Roll, Glam Metal, Big Band Jazz and Fusion/Prog elements, David Lee Roth's debut album was met with favourable reviews and had a unique all round sound - meeting the mainstream desires in easy to listen to melodies, singalong choruses and nice chord progressions - whilst also boasting some of the most difficult music played by some of the technical musicians.

Episode 49: 'Hotel California' - Eagles (1976)  'Pretty Songs All In A Row' In the spirit of the Bicentennial celebrations happening across America through the 70s - culminating in a 4th of July celebration in 1976 - the Eagles felt obliged to write an album that celebrated, criticised, embraced and challenged their American culture and heritage.  With founding member and principal country enthusiast Bernie Leadon departing, the band agreed to move away from their signature Country Rock sound and new member Joe Walsh joined and brought with him more Rock focussed riffs which would shape this classic album!  * Episode Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7cAoYyAq460onq2gLZBqkT?si=zIv_Md3ATAu4BAHcq0Se9g * Hotel California - Big Lebowski Cover: https://youtu.be/D02q4Ol3XrU * Hotel California - Live 1994: https://youtu.be/2zA09VYs5Dw LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL  - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 48: 'London Calling' by The Clash (1979) 'Revolution Punk'  At the end of the 70s, with the Punk era drawing to a close, bands like The Clash sought new directions to take their music in. Having toured in 1979 with unusual support artists such as Sam & Dave and Bo Diddley, they returned to the UK with a multitude of ideas and a bucketful of inspiration.  Not caring about what others thought and wanting to try out new material, they rehearsed in isolation - covering some of their new favourite songs whilst writing music that would go on to complete their landmark album.  Combining Punk attitude with the musical attributes and characteristics of a variety of other genres including Reggae, Rock N Roll, Pop, Jazz, Rockabilly and R&B - The Clash created and executed one of the most famous albums in all of music, 'London Calling'.  * Episode 48 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2nJDCe2Y35HMMHFVkZRlbP?si=Vz8Jw03GQoWTPXljg7Tppw * Danny Ray - "Revolution Rock" - https://youtu.be/FqBchwVRhX0 * The Clash - "London Calling" Video - https://youtu.be/EfK-WX2pa8c LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 47: 'Rising' - Rainbow (1976) 'A Light In The Blackmore' Rainbow's second album saw Blackmore change the lineup, keeping only Ronnie James Dio, for the follow up to 1975's 'Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow'.  'Rising' was a fantastic Hard Rock album - but did so much more than it is ordinarily given credit for. Pioneering and innovating several sub-genres of Metal as well as playing a massive part in the development of Heavy Metal in the 70s, Blackmore and Dio executed a brilliant album of two halves that can be enjoyed by Rock or Metal fans alike!  Laz & Felipe dive into the Fantastical lyrics, the phenomenal performances, the Classical influence on Blackmore and Dio's stunning voice!  Episode 47 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6yuYJtZnjaGJxHAtWhatkO?si=dzx2ocCnTmysrUlgLzCzgA LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL  - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 46: 'Morrison Hotel' - The Doors (1970) 'Morrison's Hotel' After the disappointment of their previous album, 'The Soft Parade', The Doors went back to their blues rock style and presented us with some of their finest work.  Following a series of misdemeanours in Jim Morrison's personal life coupled with a troublesome relationship with his girlfriend, perhaps this album provided a space for Morrison to get back to what he did best? Combining their Blues/Rock 'n' Roll base with their traditional psychedelic and R&B elements, 'Morrison Hotel' would be a welcome return to form for the LA group and one that would see their legendary status cemented in the history books.

Episode 45: 'Pet Sounds' - The Beach Boys (1966)  'We Still Believe In Brian' A sure contender in every 'Greatest Album Of All Time' debate, The Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds' was a historic, compositional and technological masterpiece. Credited to the band, but (if we're being honest!) a Brian Wilson solo album, Wilson was hugely inspired by The Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' and, in response, strived to make the greatest Rock album of all time - and he might very well have succeeded!  With unusual chord voicings, harmonies and chord progressions, an unusual reliance on session musicians, autobiographical lyrics and technological innovations that would inspire others for years and years to come,  'Pet Sounds' stands firm as one of the greatest albums of all time.  Laz & Felipe dive deep into the mind of Brian Wilson and this masterful release.  Episode 45 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dWaMgrGpBaJ5DGxJe4J1W?si=TXBkbsXYSCCxOf6quX3KtQ Frank Zappa Plays The Bicycle: https://youtu.be/izDvYokFU7U Hermeto Pascoal Plays His Beard: https://youtu.be/PKllb7pFSkM LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL  - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 42: 'Reggatta De Blanc' - The Police (1979) 'White Reggae'  With their intense touring schedule fine tuning their cohesiveness and tightness, The Police presented us with a sharper, more polished album that would be a defining moment in their career and in the development of New Wave and Rock in the UK. Copeland's percussive anti-backbeat grooves, Summer's atmospheric & layered guitar tones and Sting's Caribbean-inspired vocals & intricate bass lines, the trio created and executed a wonderful Rock/Reggae/Post-Punk hybrid record that has long stood the test of time and made The Police the band we know today.

Episode 41: 'The Joshua Tree' - U2 (1987)  'U-Two Americas' Fresh from multiple tours in support of 'The Unforgettable Fire', U2 wanted to continue their trajectory and momentum of their ambient, atmospheric music, but with a harder hitting end product - 'The Joshua Tree' certainly hit that mark becoming the fastest selling album in British history and selling over 25 million copies. Having immersed themselves in American culture and history during a tour, the working title of 'Two Americas' would be the thematic base for this album. Musically, they sought to combine their Irish heritage with their new found love for the American Blues and Country - and, lyrically, adding in their distaste for its politics, this album transformed U2 from music stars to global superstars.  Bono's passionate vocals combined with The Edge's minimalistic guitar parts resonated with audiences around the world and presented us with an easy to listen to album filled with passion, fire, suffering, soul and love.  Episode 41 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5q1X2ifOYCM1YwOP7Hg1dh?si=e8-xXXYdTsmV6GMq8yVmfA LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 40: 'Breakfast In America' - Supertramp (1979) 'Songs Of Vision' In 1979, Supertramp departed from their staple Progressive sound in favour of a more accessible sounding, Pop-ier album. 'Breakfast In America' was their most commercially successful album - selling over 19 million copies worldwide. It brought to them new listeners from the radio, yet also indulged their already committed fanbase - with a beautiful blend of Pop, Prog and Rock, 'Breakfast In America' was a landmark release for the group.

Episode 39: 'Selling England By The Pound' by Genesis (1973) 'I Know What I Like (In My Prog)' Concerned with the rise of Americanism in 70s Britain, Genesis would take a line from the Labour party's manifesto and explore some serious folk and cultural elements in their fifth studio album.  1973's 'Selling England By The Pound' was a very serious contender, musically, in the Prog/Hard Rock categories, but also continued the whimsical theatrics and drama from several of their previous instalments - combining both elements to create one of Genesis' most revered and successful Prog albums.

Episode 38: 'Between The Buttons' - The Rolling Stones (1967) 'Cool, Calm, Connection' Following the success of their first few albums, The Rolling Stones changed things up with their 5th (UK) installment in 1967. 'Between The Buttons' went under the radar due to its departure from their blues-based Rock to something more Psychedelic, but presented listeners with, perhaps, the Stones' most mature work. Choosing to write a 'sound experience' rather than a collection of singles, Brian Jones put down the guitar to pursue a variety of other instruments and some well orchestrated classical instrumentation was introduced to their music. Laz & Felipe discuss, dissect and dive into this underrated gem of an album!

Episode 37: 'Dookie' by Green Day  'When Punk Comes Around'  Credited with the reinvigoration of Punk Rock in the mainstream, Green Day's 3rd album, 'Dookie', was one of the landmark Rock albums of the 90s. Breathing new life into Punk and blending genres to innovate new styles, the album would be responsible for the rise of Pop Punk in America.  Laz & Felipe dive into the everyday, mundane lyrics whilst also discussing the musicianship and that famous 'Basket Case' video!

Episode 34 - 'Rumours' - Fleetwood Mac (1977) 'Gold Dust Album' In the midst of affairs, divorces and heavy drug use, Fleetwood Mac headed into the studio in mid 1976 to record their eleventh studio album. 4 out of 5 members were in the middle of breakups (with each other!) and the band were in turmoil - often not being able to be in the same room as one another.  Yet what came out of those sessions would be crucial to the progression of Pop music as we know it. With stunning production, a variety of popular styles dabbled with and emotional/heartfelt lyrics that people could connect to, 'Rumours' would be the seminal Pop album signifying the transition from 70s Rock to 80s Pop. Laz & Felipe take a deep dive into the mental state of the band as well as identifying and discussing the musical and lyrical content that worked so well in creating one of the best selling and most renowned albums of all time.

Episode 33 - 'Hunky Dory' by David Bowie (1971) 'Oh, You Pretty Thing' Diving deep into the occult, dealing with his brother's mental health and preparing to become a father for the first time - David Bowie spent early 1971 with these thoughts in his mind whilst writing songs and music for other artists to use. When he realised that this material was too good, he headed to the studio and recorded his signature Art Rock album, 'Hunky Dory'. With the piano arrangements of Rick Wakeman and the orchestration of Mick Ronson combined with Bowie's honest lyrics and expressive voice, 'Hunky Dory' would be one of his most down-to-earth albums. It painted us a picture of his mind at that stage of his life and gave us "an honest account of a man struggling to make sense of his life". - Episode 33 Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4YgCW2fAwcZjhM1nIqb8ID?si=aef9d76066874008 LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 30 - 'Aqualung' by Jethro Tull (1971) 'My God!'  In early 1970, Ian Anderson and his wife came upon a homeless man - whom she photographed and whom Ian dubbed 'Aqualung'. The seemingly insignificant event would be like the falling of small stones that start an avalanche - for the interaction would inspire Ian Anderson to question his societal status, his childhood, his religion and, most importantly, his diety. Jethro Tull's fourth studio album, 'Aqualung', came out in early 1971 and was a fantastic deviation from what the world saw as 'Prog Rock' at the time. With a variety of stylistic influences and inspiration - this album combined Classical orchestration and instrumentation, Prog melodies and phrasing, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal riffs and Blues-y structures combined with philosophical, personal lyrics to become one of the most renowned and revered Prog Rock albums of all time.

29. Thin Lizzy  'Toughest Band In Town' In 1969, Thin Lizzy began. Formed from renowned Dublin musicians: Eric Bell, Eric Wrixon, Brian Downey and Phil Lynott - this group would go on to become one of the biggest and best Rock bands to come out of Ireland! Their legacy would go on to inspire and shape the ever-changing characteristics of Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and Classic Rock, but their own influences came from a wide variety of styles & genres, including: Irish, Funk, Blues, Folk, Disco, American R&B, Motown and early Heavy Metal. With Lynott's sweet, melodic vocals and aggressive bass playing, Downey's pounding drums, the signature duelling guitars of Robertson, Gorham and Moore and the ever present musical homage to their Irish background - Thin Lizzy became a household name. But dig further down, beneath the surface, and you soon discover the consistency, quality and stylistic variety of this band that proves their worth and cements their label as Rock 'N' Roll legends!

28: 'Bo Diddley' - Bo Diddley (1958) 'Hey, Bo Diddley!'  Bo Diddley's 1958 debut album could be said to be the defining transition from American Blues into Traditional Rock 'N' Roll. With a collection of singles from 1955-1958 and some newly written songs, Bo Diddley broke the rules of rhythm, lyrics, instrumentation and, most importantly, styles.  'Bo Diddley' is filled with innovative uses of the guitar, call & response phrases inspired by Gospel and Blues music, single chord vamps in which the instrumentation becomes key - not the chords and, most significantly, the Bo Diddley beat - a significant, distinctive rhythm derived from African dances and Cuban claves.  Laz & Felipe dive into this pioneering album and look at how Bo Diddley mixed and blended a variety of genres to produce one music's first out and out Rock 'N' Roll albums!

27. The Animals 'Animal Tracks' In the early 60s, a hugely important British band, from Newcastle, would form. The Animals were part of the culturally phenomenal British Invasion of the US. Along with the likes of The Beatles, The Kinks, The Hollies and more, they brought their British Pop over to the States and left their mark.  But one aspect of The Animals was very different to their counterparts; their music had strong influences from already popularised American music styles. From Blues to R&B, Rock N Roll to Motown and Gosepl to Doo-Wop - The Animals left their mark on both sides of the pond by incorporating these different genres into one hybrid style and executed their British-American music to perfection. Laz & Felipe take a different approach this episode and go through some of The Animals' greatest hits from the 'The Singles Plus' album and talk about the differing styles, influences, lyrical meanings and genres they hear from song to song!  (In this way, the episode playlist has been structured like so: 1) Animals song 2) Original version of that song [where available] 3) Other earlier or notable covers of the song [where available] 4) Stylistic examples of other songs that we hear) Episode 27 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3aLQEOzUCf13Ww2H75Y9nz?si=c3406aa0675e4d29 Portishead - S.O.S (ABBA Cover): Portishead - SOS [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVe-9VWIcCo] LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL  - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

26. 'Audioslave' - Audioslave (2002) 'Be Yourself' With Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine both on breaks, the ashes of both bands rose in the form of Audioslave - a heavy, grungy, funky take on music that emphasised both Chris Cornell's vocals and Rage Against The Machine's music.  Their eponymous debut album was a fresh take on both of their already successful music, but with new, unique and unexplored musical ventures attempted and achieved. 'Audioslave' was a success - it bred a couple of well received singles and was met with positive critical acclaim. Laz analyses the musical aspects, whilst Felipe dissects the lyrics - and, together, they dive into the minds of Chris Cornell and Tom Morello.

'Prog Will Find A Way' At the end of the 1960s, a Prog band formed who would become household names in the world of Progressive Rock. Undergoing numerous lineup changes and with each album sounding vastly different, yet so familiar - Yes unleashed their music into the world! Laz & Felipe talk about the journey of Yes, which are the essential albums/songs, how Yes view themselves as well as the various lineups that the band have undergone.  Episode 25 Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6klWBP40BEkfPM5AkxJrB5?si=dbcbd68ffa0349e7 LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

Episode 24 - 'Van Halen' by Van Halen (1978) 'Eruption' As far as debut albums go, very few come close to achieving what Van Halen's did in 1978. Before the glitz of Glam Rock and the glamour of Hair Metal, came this 4 piece outfit who innovated and pioneered the kind of Rock/Metal music we would so casually associate with the 80s.  Having had a huge influence on bands like Whitesnake, Ratt, Guns N Roses, Poison and many others, 'Van Halen' showed the world how to combine heavy music, raw execution and raucous guitar tones with tight harmonies, polished production and sweet melodies to create an album that is critically and historically associated with the inception of Glam Rock and Hair Metal. Laz & Felipe dive into the album and discuss all the fantastic aspects of this short, but sweet, EP!

'Metal Militia'  With Heavy Metal about a decade old, there came a group of bands who, like any great innovators, sought to expand and transform the generic 'Heavy Metal' genre into something more niche and refined.  Metallica, undoubtedly, stand out as one of the biggest Metal bands to have ever existed. Constantly evolving and adapting to the ever changing music industry, these Metal titans pioneered Thrash Metal (along with 3 other notable bands!) and continually changed their sound which would result in the furthering of their career and the enhancing of their legacy.  40 years later, we look back at their multi-(sub)genre spanning career and discuss how the Four Horseman became the world's biggest Metal band!  Episode 23 Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6c8PM6RtfoL706YkG5gvYz?si=a81731cdbdd0443b LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - Follow the Podcast on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/longlivernrpod - Get in touch and/or leave us a review: longliverocknrollpodcast@gmail.com - Podcast Music by GeriArt, NaturesEye, astrofreq, Twisterium from Pixabay - Podcast Art by Ross Davidson (@ross_feelshame)

'Think For Yourselves' 1965 - With Beatlemania dominating the charts and the hearts of audiences, the Fab Four found themselves with no commitments and no deadlines when heading to record their next album. Having recently returned from their US tour their 6th studio album would contain a plethora of genres, many influences from different cultures and their most honest lyrics yet - and with this album The Beatles changed Pop Music forever.  Laz & Felipe go deep into the lyrics and find out why it turned The Beatles from pop act to masters of the studio. New instruments, new chords/scales, new recording techniques and new genres/styles cements 'Rubber Soul' as one of the most important albums in music history -  for the first time, the album became more important than the singles.

'The Faithful Servants' In the late 1950s, a backing band emerged that had no limit to its potential. Hired and used by Ronnie Hawkins, Sonny Bill Williamson and Bob Dylan - 1 American & 4 Canadians broke out to form their own act and write their own music. Music that would change the sound of American popular music forever.  The Band released their first album in 1968 and their second in 1969, to huge critical acclaim. Those two albums would rubber stamp two moments  in modern music that would go on to influence thousands of bands/artists/musicians in America. The birth of Americana and Roots Rock signaled the start of how American writers and composers could twist and mix all of the USA's most popular genres into one streamlined sound.  Loved and revered by most, but not known to all, The Band had fans in the form of Eric Clapton; who was desperate to join, George Harrison; who stated how impressed he was by their musicianship and camaraderie and Roger Waters; who described one of their albums as "one of the most influential albums in the history of Rock 'N' Roll". Laz & Felipe analyse, dissect and discuss the factors that brought this band to the forefront of American popular music and how their music changed American popular music forever.

'Band Of Doom' Fresh from releasing their groundbreaking, eponymous debut album, Black Sabbath returned with what would prove to be one of modern music's most important albums. Singing about the stuff that no one else wanted to, 'Paranoid' and its dark lyrics paired with crushing riffs and a pounding rhythm section presented the world with the first complete Heavy Metal album and would go on to inspire & pave the way for thousands of bands & musicians. Along with a Quiz and other regular segments, Laz & Felipe give their verdict on 'what Heavy Metal is', analyse and discuss the dark lyrical content of the album as well as the iconic guitar riffs and musicianship of this hugely important album.

17. Cream 'Cream Of The Crop' In 1966, 3 of the UK's most renowned and sought after musicians united and set aside their differences to form the band that would create, pioneer and define the 'Electric Blues Rock' movement in Britain. Having all left other bands and projects to further this endeavour, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker came together, as Rock's first supergroup, to form Cream! In their short time together, Cream pushed the boundaries of what British Blues was - by pioneering the use of the electric guitar & the status of 'lead guitarist', incorporating elements of Hard Rock, Psychedelia and Jazz into their music and setting the bar so high for other acts heavily influenced by the Blues, but wanting to find their own sound.  Laz & Felipe choose their favourite Cream songs, discuss the history and relationship of the band, identify and discuss the similarities and differences between the Cream albums and figure out how and why these three guys did what they had to do to certify themselves and live up to their self appointed reputation as the cream of the crop!

'Machine Head' can only be described as an album that encompasses any and all forms of Rock music. A driving tune for the ages, a classic story with an iconic riff, a Metal song Sabbath would be proud of and a Jazz/Blues jam that's worthy of the greats - only make up half of this scintillating album.  Laz & Felipe introduce some new segments whilst dissecting every great moment of this pure Rock album.

Episode 14: 'Elvis Presley' - Elvis Presley 'We're Counting On You' In the mid-1950s, a young Elvis Presley had his contract purchased by RCA Records for a staggering $35,000. Producer Sam Phillips stated: "If I could find a white boy that could sing like a black man, then I'd have something!". Born and raised in poverty, Elvis spent a lot of time in black communities and was exposed to a multitude of styles and genres emerging from these circles. Sneaking out of his church to visit the black gospel church on Sundays, Elvis knew what he liked and didn't hold back when it came to song choice for his debut album. What resulted was one of the most important albums in music history - one that could be classed as the first ever Rock 'N' Roll album. A record that would bridge, not only genres and musical styles, but ethnicities, cultures and communities.

Episode 12: 'Brothers In Arms' by Dire Straits 'Mark's Latest Trick' Mark Knopfler's ability to understand the true meaning of Rock 'N' Roll shines ever brighter with what would be Dire Strait's penultimate album. In the mid 80s, where technology was advancing, popular music becoming more electronic and the breakthrough of MTV as a platform for said Pop Music, Mark and Dire Straits were able to bridge the gap between traditional Rock 'N' Roll and 80s Pop - resulting in one of the most well known guitar riffs of all time, songs written by a virtuoso Guitar player with almost no guitar solos in and an album that really does preach our Rock 'N' Roll mantra: Musical Freedom.

Episode 4: Creedence Clearwater Revival 'Fortunate Fans' In 1967, a band who had been performing for over a decade together, changed their style, attitude and main songwriter and went on to become one of the most important bands to emerge from 60s USA. Fresh from having performed their own gig, Laz & Felipe discuss the band dynamics, the songwriting, the style, the heartbreak & misery and the legacy of John Fogerty's troupe. Creedence Clearwater Revival emerged from the ashes of The Blue Velvets/The Golliwogs and took the Rock 'N' Roll world by storm. Despite only being together for 5 years, the band (with their plethora of popular singles) pioneered Swamp Rock, re-energised the Roots Rock movement and would go on to influence many Country/Blues Rock groups to follow. Despite the disappointing way the band ended, their legacy and music will forever remain essential to Rock 'N' Roll.

Episode 1: Rock 'N' Roll Is Dead! "Rock 'N' Roll is dead!"… is a phrase we hear a lot in the music industry.  It's a statement that was first coined in the late 50's when Elvis went to the army, Little Richard retired and Buddy Holly died. It was spoken again by Roger Waters in 1972 whilst Pink Floyd were in the studio recording the very album that would give Rock 'N' Roll a new, albeit different, lease of life. Lenny Kravitz sang it to us in his 1995 hit single and 20 years later Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D echoed those sentiments.  But is Rock 'N' Roll really dead? Join us for the first episode of the brand new Podcast; 'Long Live Rock 'N' Roll'. In Episode 1, Laz and Felipe introduce themselves while discussing, debating and trying to get to the bottom of the true meaning of what Rock 'N' Roll really is and whether or not it really is dead... (SPOILER: As you can probably tell from the name of our show, we don't think it is!)
