Born in New York City back in 1949, the singer and pianist Billy Joel became one of the most influential American musicians of all time. Since the early 70s he released 13 studio albums and sold an estimated amount of more than 160 million records worldwide. In an interview with John Mayer on his new radio show "How's Life", Joel revealed that he actually never really liked his own voice. That's why he said that he was always trying to sound like someone else when singing. Billy Joel says he never liked his own voice "I always wanted to sing like somebody else — I never liked my own voice. I would go in the studio and I'd do a recording and I'd come back in the control room and listen and go 'Oh God, it's that guy.' And I'd always be disappointed — no matter how good I thought the writing was, I never liked my own voice. Always wanted to sound like somebody else." As an example he mentioned names like Ray Charles, Sting and Elvis Costello, saying they have wonderful voices. Joel's most recent album is "Fantasies & Delusions", released in 2001. But that album has only classical compositions. His most recent album of "normal" songs was "River of Dreams", released in 1993. He recently released a new single called “Turn The Lights Back On”. The track was produced by the Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Freddy Wexler. The song was written by Joel, Wexler, Arthur Bacon and Wayne Hector. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCuMWrfXG4E&pp=ygUKYmlsbHkgam9lbA%3D%3DThe post Billy Joel says he never liked his own voice appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Black Sabbath created Heavy Metal in 1970 and a new music genre was born, evolving over the decades and creating many other successful sub genres. The impact the music made by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward had was immeasurable and inspired bands like Metallica. The American band formed in 1981 became the most influential and successful band of Thrash Metal and were deeply inspired by Sabbath. In an interview with Guitar World, Iommi praised the band led by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich and said that what they did with Thrash Metal was amazing. Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi praises Metallica and Thrash Metal "It was nice to hear those Thrash bands paying tribute to us. It's great how they were able to push it forward into something new and turn it into their own thing. I was just coming up with things I liked. So it was brilliant to hear about other musicians liking what I'd done, taking the same kind of idea and improving on it, evolving it into their own sound. Like Metallica, for instance, who probably learned things from us as well as other people." "What they did with the metal sound, turning it into thrash, was fantastic. They've always been respectful toward us and they're lovely guys. I love their attitude toward things, the way they write and everything. It reminds us a lot of how we were. Everyone in one room rehearsing together and taking it seriously," Tony Iommi said. Lars Urlich and James Hetfield paid tribute to Black Sabbath multiple times over the years. The two even had the privilege to induct the British band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2006. Although Sabbath is the most important Heavy Metal band of all time, they sold less records than Metallica. The band led by Iommi sold an estimated amount of more than 75 million records worldwide. Metallica sold a little more, an estimated amount of more than 125 million records worldwide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaacVsGramo&pp=ygUXbWV0YWxsaWNhIGJsYWNrIHNhYmJhdGg%3DThe post Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi praises Metallica and Thrash Metal appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Punk Rock music became big in the mid-70s, especially as a response to the excesses in music, such as those seen in Progressive Rock groups, which featured musicians who were extremely technical with their instruments and created complex, lengthy compositions. The biggest Punk phenomenon in the United Kingdom was the Sex Pistols, whose metaphorical guns were aimed at groups like Jethro Tull, led by multi-instrumentalist and singer Ian Anderson. But what is Anderson's opinion of the Punk group fronted by John Lydon? What is Ian Anderson’s opinion on the Sex Pistols Surprisingly, Ian Anderson is a big fan of Punk Rock music and already praised bands like the Ramones and of course, the Sex Pistols. In an interview with  Something Else in 2013, he recalled that he first wasn't really into them because of the way the vocalist Johnny "Rotten" behaved on stage. But later on he started to appreciate them and he went out and bought a copy of their only studio album "Never Mind the Bollocks: Here's the Sex Pistols" (1977). “It’s just part of what happens in the world. Allegiances change, tastes change. A new generation comes about and they want to listen to something that represents their growing years. Not the stuff of their older siblings.” “It’s understandable. It didn’t particularly upset me. When the punk thing came about, it was in some ways quite a welcome return to basics. I went out and bought my own copy of the first Sex Pistols album. (Also) the first Stranglers album. I quite enjoyed them in a funny sort of way. It didn’t stop me from carrying on what I was going at the time,” Ian Anderson said. John Lydon was influenced by Jethro Tull and told Ian Anderson he loved "Aqualung" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q31WY0Aobro&pp=ygUXc2V4IHBpc3RvbHMgamV0aHJvIHR1bGw%3D To show they were against the establishment at the time, some punk musicians, like John Lydon, used to criticize famous progressive rock groups, like Pink Floyd, to maintain their persona. However, he actually liked those bands and Jethro Tull was one of them. He told the crowd during a show a few years ago that he liked Anderson's band. Ian recalled that in an interview with Harrogate Advertiser in 2020. “The punks pretended they hated Tull and the Prog rock bands in 1977. But that was part of the marketing for the new bands. Johnny Rotten was a big fan of our 1971 album Aqualung. If you look at the cover with the tramp leaning to one side and scowling there is a definite resemblance with his own stage persona in the Sex Pistols. Rotten told me years later he loved 'Aqualung',” Ian Anderson said. The Sex Pistols were active for only 3 years back in the 70s. Their reunions happened once in the 90s and twice in the 00s. But, their only studio album to this day is “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols” released in 1977. So it proves that with only one record they were able to really cause a musical and cultural revolution in the world.The post Ian Anderson’s opinion on the Sex Pistols appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
