Black Sabbath's Black Magic...

Hey all....
Rockonomy is back with some old metal and rock for you guys....The band featured today is probably the beginners of the "heavy"metal or "Hard Rock" genre of music....

The Band is Black Sabbath......
Black Sabbath was initially formed as..Earth...in 1968 by Ozzy Osbourne,Tommy Iommi,Bill Ward and Geezer Butler....

They were initially known as Polka Tulk and then changed to Earth and played heavy blues rock...but the later changed their name to Black Sabbath...They majorly played the Death Lyrics..quite horrifying....

Black Sabbath was also ranked as Greatest heavy metal band in the history of rock music by several magazines and even by MTV awards.....

Black Sabbath faced a lot of changes in the lineup of the band...there were in total 22 changes in the lineup of the band...Anyways..the original people of the band Reunited in 1997 with an album Reunion...

Black Sabbath has delivered some great masterpieces in the past ...likeParanoid...Black Sabbath....Master of Reality..Volume 4 and many more.....
They completely changed the face of metal and rock music in their era and led a bunch of musicians and bands to follow them in their glorious music style....

Initially they played the covers of musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Cream but they soon came up with their numbers like Black Sabbath.....

Black Sabbath has got a huge history behind them and I think any blog would be just too small to sum up the Ecstasy of the music of Black Sabbath....

Although I am going to talk about some things...Did you know that all the members ofBlack Sabbath were into drugs a lot....Coke was a word to them that meant a lot....
Later they underwent some Rehab to control it....

Black Sabbath's success has a long story...and I am not going to state all of it now...lets move with album to album...it started with the album Paranoid...a quadruple platinum album giving all the push to the career of the band...Although it was followed by several double gold and platinum series of albums and all are masterpieces....

It was not just a simple music as it was an inspiration to several leading bands in 80's and even now!!...Bands like Metallica..Megadeath...Smashing Pumpkins....etc are really influenced by the Black Sabbath....

And now its your turn to turn your head with the Black Sabbath music and jazzy touch to Metal...Along This article..you can download the album for free....and get into the legacy of metal by Black Sabbath....Black Sabbath's Paranoid...an awesome collection of great numbers...Track Paranoid is also featured in Guitar Hero....

..........Jimi Hendrix............

Hello everyone....

Its been a while since any Rock artists has been featured here on Rockonomy...

Well...the artist of the Week is JIMI HENDRIX....actually he should be called artist of the century.....Probably the greatest guitarist in the world of Rock music....wait... he is not just a guitarist..!!..

He is a successful and brilliant songwriter,singer and producer.....

He is considered the most influential guitarist in the genres like Hard Rock..Acid Rock...Blues Rock...Psychedelic Rock....

Born as Johnny Allen Hendrix(27,November 1942-18,September1970) is considered as greatest guitarist by The Rolling Stone Magazine ......

Jimi was born to an army man and his name changed to James Marshall Hendrix in the memory of his dead mother...well very less people know that Jimi has been in Army...but we ain't here to discuss his biography...man that would be too long...

Well...skipping everything and jumping to his musical career...he started off in sometime when he was around 15...after getting an electric guitar later...he started with some local bands and performed in some gigs....well he was not so good with the grades but he could play the guitar with his teeth...unbelievable  right??.....

Well his first formal band was The Velevetones...he also jammed  with The King Kuslas....His career started with a bang...earlier he was a boy playing a right handed guitar with the left hand...but later he became the heart throb of millions...specially in UK....even the fans of reigning musicians like Eric Clapton....Hendrix attracted a huge fan following...

Then came the Jimi Hendrix Experience...It included plenty of tracks written with Golden ink in the history of Rock Music.....performing with plenty of bands and musicians...He was often requested to play Purple Haze...his most popular number I think.....  

Around in 1964...Hendrix joined his first national tour.....and was honored with an award.....in 1965 he joined the band Curtis Knights and Squires...and started touring...He met quite legal disputes  because of some contracts and also was unhappy performing in south America.....

Well....looks like if I am gonna tell you his history...I"ll end up with some sleepy readers.....You know what...he has got some interesting turns and twists in his early life...but I am gonna talk about his music only.......

Some of his most popular tracks include......purple haze...can you see me...manic depression...fire...voodo child....machine gun...etc etc.....which were also voted as greatest solos by many guitar magazines.....

Well he was the one who opened the Electric Lady Studios.....Hendrix was quite a fashionable person...really you can check him out in his videos....wearing those flashy clothes and Bob Dylan hairstyle.....

Well when it comes to the styles...I surely wanna mention his unique styles in guitar playing and amplifiers effects.....

You wonder from where wah wah effect came from.... answer is Hendrix ...... Hendrix is known for his different effects and guitar styles....also his association with Fender led to many innovative styles and techniques in guitar playing.....

These were some of the things which made him so so popular and made some of the greatest rock bands to fall in his follower list... some bands like.... The Who and Cream.......

Sadly Hendrix Died in 1970..on 18th September due to some drug intake with some alcohol...his death was definitely a setback to the Rock music...Dying at an early age of 27...Hendrix still gave a lot to Rock......

Well coming to album featured here on Rockonomy... its a collection of some tracks by Hendrix which made him so so popular..... some of his wonderful creations..... these are the songs where you feel the real magic of Rock......

Chemically Romantic...MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE....

Hey folks.....

Its been a long time on Rockonomy,no new post has been made available for people with the album....but Rockonomy is back and its back with a bang.....

Today's artist or band is My Chemical Romance or just MCR.....

MCR is an EMO rock band originated in New Jersey.....

The band has that something in it which made them so popular among the youth.....some of the significant qualities of their music are...soulful lyrics...I mean their lyrics are generally emotional kind and in fact really good.....secondly the instinct of punk in their music also makes their songs so cool....and also...the way the lead singer of the band....Gerard Way sings....really turns the head......

So..the band started off in 2001 and released their first album in 2002...named..I Brought You My Bullets,You Brought Me Your Love....the album was good but not a huge success.....

It was in 2004..they released their second album..Three cheers to sweet revenge...hitting the charts..the album made to platinum in just one year...giving hit singles like Thank You For The Venom...I'm Okay(I Promise)....Helena....

It fetched them lot of tours with great bands like Nirvana..Green Day etc....the band started attracting a huge fan following(including a lot of girls) coz the band members are just too cute....!!!!

Following it ..the released the Black Parade album(which is my personal favorite) in 2006...the album was a major hit and still is....tracks like Teenagers...Welcome to The Black Parade...I Don't Love You...etc...are just awesome....

The album was also recognised by Rolling Stone magazine in Top 50 albums for the year....

Black Parade just added too many stars in their career and that of Gerard..fetching him Hero of The Year award in NME awards....

Talking about the awards...MCR has a strange toll...I would rather say Gerard has won strange awards...According to a magazine he got Hero of The Year...Villain Of The Year...Best Album of The Year...Worst Album Of The Year(Black Parade)....Best Track ("Welcome to the Black Parade").... Best Video ("Welcome to the Black Parade").... Best Live Show, Best Thing about 2006....... Worst Thing about 2006.....Sexiest Male (Gerard Way). Strangely, Gerard Way also finished third in the Sexiest Female category. 

MCR has faced a lot of criticism about they being EMO by many Rock Bands and some conflicts with Marilyn Manson accusing them of stealing or I would rather say copying his style....but all of them subsequently sorted out.....

with the following band members:

     Gerard Way — lead vocals (2001 - )

     Ray Toro — lead guitar, backing vocals (2001 -  )

     Mikey Way — bass (2001 - )

     Frank Iero — rhythm guitar, backing vocals (2002 - )

     Bob Bryar — drums, percussion (2004 - )

MCR has found its place in Each and every IPOD  and music systems today......

Well its time for the album of the day....THE BLACK PARADE......my personal fav...the album is just too awesome.....

You can download the album for free or just save time and listen it only on Rockonomy.....
