@elvisorbison77 I've got my grammar goin' for me though. And like I said, personal taste. And the "music masses" involve guitar. Elvis, couldn't play. However, I'm probably wrong since I'm the "stupid foolio" right?
Elvis had some good songs, he was a decent singer. But he really couldn't play guitar. He was an icon, I just don't get into him much. He had some good song though
@aerofan0627 To appreciate Elvis, you need to look back at what the world and music was like before him. As John Lennon said, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." He was like the big bang of Rock'n'Roll. Elvis was truly original. If you can find the outtakes of Blue Moon of Kentucky, you will hear how they developed the song into a rocker. The early Elvis is the best.
@p25735 Like I said, he did have some good songs. As for Lennon, he was a pretty good song writer I just don't like his voice. He did sing good on some of their songs though. The tone fit. But as far as Elvis being a good guitarist, in my oppinion he wasn't that good. I personally wouldn't consider him the "Big Bang of Rock & Roll", seeing as how music is constantly changing. You have people like Chuck Berry who changed rock & roll & people call him the starter of it all. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith
@aerofan0627 Led Zeppelin made their career on taking blues songs that date back to the early 1900's and put a hard rock spin on it...ive never heard anyone say that Zeppelin stole the ''black man's music'...they just as much..if not more, capitalized on a 'black sound'!...but with the hard driving guitar sounds of the time..and the heavy drumming, disguised what was obviously there...and remember...that ''EVERY'' artist..from the beginning of music..had to hear someone else play.
@p25735 Rolling Stones, Motley Crue, lots more, they also changed rock and roll. It's just about your personal taste. I have nothing against Elvis though don't get me wrong.
@wilby2400 If you think Tyler had better range you are obviously deaf. Listen to Elvis in the 1970s just years before his death and you will come back here and tell me how wrong you were to make your statement. Elvis's voice ranged from deep baritone base to tenor. Tyler, as great a he is could not then and cannot now sing low tone music and I aint knocking Tyler either. I think he is great. I love Aerosmith. But the truth is the truth.
@wilby2400 I`m sure that Steven Tyler would have laughed his head off if you had told him to his face that he is a better singer than Elvis was. Sure, Tyler is very good. There`s no doubt, but Elvis was a genius singer. He could sing everything, opera, gospel, rock, pop, blues, jazz whatever. I would like to hear Tyler sing opera.
@sueellen360 Wow. I had no idea. Haven't heard that song in years. That Sun Session song sort of got lost and overshadowed by so many other great songs from 54-55. I have to find Tyler's version. Hard to imagine. George Strait loved the song and covered it but I'm sure Steven's is awsome 2.
@eatdrt98 Didn't chuck berry start rock n roll though? jus wonderin , confused bout who came first....i think it was chuck, but jus sayin...they both rock, steven does too.they all make/made great rock n roll music...real music
@AceInTheWhole94 Actually, guys like Bo Didley and Little Richard were the first Rock n Roll performers as they became known. Elvis was just so huge that he became the new music's leader. Back then, when they talked about Rock n Roll they included all music that wasn't the previous generation's music. Same thing happened years later when all music was placed under the Pop music banner.
@AceInTheWhole94 i don't know EVERYTHING about music, but i think chuck berry may have sang in a similar style, but he didn't really have as much of the 'IT' factor as Elvis.. Elvis made it BIGGG, you know? BUt chuck berry is still great:P
I'm fed up with the Elvis haters. We his fans, from this moment on should ignore every damn one of them and refuse to acknowledge any comment or anything else that they say. It's not our fault Michael Jackson and your other heroes fell short and couldn't cut the damn mustard. If you want to comment back, fine. But you will be ignored and I suggest other Elvis fans do as I do. But worry the hell out of Michael Jackson fans.
Nothing new really...Steve Tyler says what sooo many other great artists also think about Elvis...He was the most influential singer of the 20th century. Hard to belive that so many idiots still question this...well, everybody has the rigth to be ignorant!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Just not a fan of Elvis, he isn't a King imo. I think he ripped off a lot of the soul singers like Little Richard. Plus he seemed full of himself and let himself become a fat addict.
@monkeytrees people like you sound like a broken record, he never stole shit! And if you don't know what your talking about you should not post, learn the facts.
Two american Kings for two different era's. And don´t forget Tina Turner, the Quenn of Rock and Roll, and ...well I admit it, Maddona, the Princesses of Pop.
