Hard rock

Hard rock is a music that has resulted from the rock and is often characterized by a hard sounding (distorted) electric guitar. The tempo of the music is often high, the vocals, guitar, and organ parties alternate and complement each other. Just as in the jazz is a catchy riff to the song as a coat rack for important act. It typified by the guitar made with so-called power chords.

Another feature is the solid vocals work, in which sharp lash out not be sparingly. Some famous bands in the genre are Aerosmith, AC/DC, Boston, Europe, Deep Purple,Guns N ' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Scorpions, UFO, Uriah Heep, Van Halen and Whitesnake.

It should be noted that various styles in rock music have a strong kinship. The music of The Who as a group contained both rock and hard rock elements. The border between hard rock and metal is sometimes also difficult to explain. Metallica is a metal band, but is often also called ' hard rock '. A different style combination that was laid between hard rock and hip hop by essentially Run-d.m.c. and the Beastie Boys also to a lesser extent. ==History[ Edit] == From the blues (and what other influences) is rock and roll emerged. There was a rebellious culture what in the formation of this movement was an important aspect. Not more tidy as MOM and dad, but thick greaseheads and solid rock and roll. Rock and roll came from that other rock types. The blues and rock and roll remained apparent, but rougher guitar work featured many of this music style. This was about halfway the sixties when the hippie movement was formed. Around and by this move originated many music groups.

In the course of the time was the (live) sound of bands heavier, especially through the use of ever more powerful stage amplifiers. The growing volumes caused that, in order to describe this new style of play, terms from industry wielded. The term Hard Rock comes from the world of the mining industry and mining. It is not difficult to see that this branch of labor is heavy, with violence and that the tools to carry out this work should be at least decent. The bridge to the solid rhythms and sounds from the hard rock music is easy.

As the first hard rock number is sometimes In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly called although there also many psychedelic music was in it. In any case there were suddenly in the year 1968 groups in the charts with their later so called hard rock music. Most famous bands as first-fruits in the late 1960s in the hard rock are Blue Cheer (with their hitversie of "Summertime Blues" might be the first hard rock band), Steppenwolf, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix Experience and Deep Purple. The Rolling Stones also formed a bridge to the hard rock. It can be said that those bands (along with many others) to open the hard rock era dominate guitar work that was electronically distorted (distortion), often with the musical characteristics of the blues. Also (hammond) organs were often part of the occupation. In a rock band for example, if The Doors are the Fender Rhodes Piano Bass and Vox Continental been important tools, as with Deep Purple.

Also The Golden Earring made frequent use of the hammond organ, as can be heard on the album Eight Miles High from 1969. Under the influence of their first tour in the United States the same year, their style is becoming more progressive and harder. A highlight during performances was their version of "Eight Miles High" could last up to 45 minutes. On the album Eight Miles High is the title track from 1969 reduced to 19 minutes full of solos and experiments. It marked along with the rest of this record the development of Golden Earring to hard rock. Established In 1973 this Hague band finally her name in the genre with the classic Radar Love, with which they garnered success worldwide.

In the late 1970s got the hard rock a new impetus by the inventive guitar playing of Eddie van Halen. After Jimi Hendrix he gave the style a new sound by its pounding rock guitar and screeching, echoing glissando's.

Hard rock slumped in Europe get away in popularity in the years 1980-1985, mainly due to the competition with even tougher and faster- New Wave Of British Heavy Metalbands such as Iron Maidenor Saxon . Also in mainstream charts created from bleaching new punk rock genres as synthpop and new wave to be more popular than hard rock bands. In America, however, proved to be immensely popular hard rock, especially under the form of glam metal than. Bands like Mötley Crüe and RATT produced throughout the 1980s well into the ear lying hard rock and heavy metal which dominated the American charts. Later in the 1980s in Europe would also bands such as Bon Jovi and Europe achieve this success. At the end of the 1980s and the early 1990s, finally also Guns N ' Roses and Metallica, originally a band that played aggressiveAmerican thrash metal, both European and American success with plates that are good in the ear contain lying hard rock and heavy metal. ==Clothing Style[ Edit] == The clothing style is not changed from the 80 's: a (too often washed) black t-shirt with a pair of jeans or an army pants. Below are submitted by the singers mostly still carried boxes, although this army stereotype no longer applies. Many hard rock bands have been changed several times by clothing style.
