adnan Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 A bit harsh, considering the fact that despite any labelling The Yardbirds were a rock band, and a good one as well. I hate it when people call mainstream rock bands/artist blues. Clapton and the Stones would be good examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna play it you can play it. Just because you're white, black, age 60, or age 20, man or woman, doesn't mean you can't play a certain kind of music.

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Fuck, I just thought the quote was funny. I'm white and I've been playing Blues since I was 9, I know there's nothing wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
