DON'T SHOOT ME...Jimmy Greenspoon

 


     In the 1960′s he played in several local bands, including The New Dimensions, with his lifelong friend and Academy Award winning producer, Michael Lloyd. He worked on the Sunset Strip during the 60′s with groups Sound of the Seventh Son and The East Side Kids. They held residence at The Trip, Stratford On Sunset (now The House Of Blues), Brave New World, Bido Litos, Ciros, and The Whiskey.
     In 1968 he met a trio of vocalists, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells who would soon have a recording contract with Dunhill Records and were looking for backing musicians. Jimmy joined their new band Three Dog Night, which had commercial success in the late 1960′s and early 1970′s. Greenspoon was the first musician hired for this new band playing Hammond organ and Wurlitzer electric piano.
     Greenspoon helped re-launch Three Dog Night in the mid 1980′s. In 1991 Jimmy co-authored a book with Mark Bego about the band entitled One Is the Loneliest Number: On the Road and Behind the Scenes With the Legendary Rock Band Three Dog Night.

GUITAR WOLF...Joe Perry

Слика
        It’s hard to conceive a better musical foil for Steven Tyler than his longtime partner and occasional adversary. For more than 40 years, Joe Perry’s monstrous, blues-on-steroids riffs have been  Aerosmith ‘s bedrock. And his solos, jutting out from “Walk This Way” or slashing boldly through the high-gloss production of later hits like “Janie’s Got a Gun” and “Cryin’,” have a caffeinated energy that’s every bit Tyler’s match.

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY...Matt Cameron

Слика
        More than any other drummer, Matt Cameron laid the rhythmic foundation for the Nineties rock revolution, reconciling proggy technicality with overwhelming force. He aptly characterized his rotary-blade rhythms on the 1991 Soundgarden track "Jesus Christ Pose" as "a pure assault of the senses," but that efficient brutality wasn't necessarily characteristic of Cameron's work with the band – his drumming on  Superunknown  is as thoughtful as it is heavy, from the fluid asymmetry of "Spoonman" to the unshakeable backbeat of "Fell on Black Days." Twenty years after its release, Dave Grohl was  still raving , "Nobody played drums like Matt." When Soundgarden suddenly disbanded in 1997, Cameron wasn't out of work for long: Pearl Jam invited him on tour the following year.  SOUNDGARDEN  Badmotorfinger A&M,1991 https://www.sendspace.com/file/uaniyr

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Gravy Train

Слика
  GRAVY TRAIN  Gravy Train  (Vertigo,1970) - Progressive rock       Their debut shows Gravy Train as a brave and daring underground band, heavily influenced by and derivative of other prog/hard acts of the time, yet actually trying to push the boundaries forward. Unfortunately, since the album bombed, the guys preferred to dump all the experimentation of these songs in favour of a smoother, more commercial sound later on, which totally destroyed their idiosyncrasy and forever nailed them as second-rate good-for-nothings.
