Music Heroes

There are many different heroes in the music world. Many Bands such as Kiss, AC/DC, and Elvis Presely are known for being some of the ALL TIME MUSIC HEROES. 
Music isn't only for listening to when you are bored, it is an inspiration to some people. It is what drives them through life. Music can make people happy, mad, sad, laugh, cry and many more things, and no matter what happens in someone's life, music will always be there for them.
Some of the Greatest Bands
There are many bands are up for the nomination of the GREATEST BAND EVER. The Steve Miller Band has been around Since the 1960's and have never been quiet.

Some other Great bands are the Beatles, who came over from Liverpool, England in the 1960's. They were known as part of the British Invasion. The band Broke up in the year of 1970, and all four band members went upon solo careers. Even though broken up, the band is still listened to by many people and will always be listened to.


This is a Video of one of the most famous songs by the Beatles. The Beatles gave a whole new meaning the word music, and are truly, heroes of music.

Music Poem

"The God of Rock 'n' Roll!"

Nothing is easy; if you think it’s so you’d better check again.
Goals can be mined with obstacles named "friend”.
Avoid shiny objects; they're distractions well-planned,
to keep your mind off the evil at hand.

You do the right thing and try hard to maintain.
Juggle responsibilities in a world gone insane.
Sometimes it makes you just want to give-in,
but you won’t, ‘cause you know, you can’t let ’em win.

Daily injustices make your blood boil;
but what’s a guy to do after a hard days’ toil?
You can’t take on everyone, so reserve the power,
choose your battles wisely; more Damage Per Hour.

In my home, I’m the God of Rock ‘n’ Roll,
out in the world I’m viewed as a troll,
it isn’t age that’s exacted its toll,
but the ravaged heart of a tortured soul.

Try to succeed in your profession of choice;
only to join others with no face, no voice.
The pay’s chump-change, how’re you going to get ahead?
Sound depressing?
  ‘Nuff said.

If you succeed; the pay and career are fine!
You only have to sell your soul and your mind.
After a few days off you begin to remember who you really were,
before success turned you into that strange person in the mirror.

Love is tough, don’t believe otherwise.
The toughest man alive is just “one of the guys”.
You’ve been to hell and back due to that chemical you’re so fond of,
that beautiful killer, personal revealer, insane heartbreaker; Love.

In my home, I’m the God of Rock ‘n’ Roll,
out in the world I’m viewed as a troll,
it isn’t age that’s exacted its toll,
but the ravaged heart of a tortured soul.

No matter what the lows, life’s highs will abound,
savor those moments, stake claim to that ground,
those memories are proof that you lived and had some fun,
this is all we can take with us when we’re finally done.

To me, this poem is saying no matter what you have done with your life, no matter what you act like, look like, smell like, with music, you can be whatever you want to be. You can not be judge, as long as you like what you are playing, and just playing in general, you can be the coolest person in the world.

Music of Heroes

There are many Heroes of music, but there is also plenty music of heroes. Super heroes had theme music for their television shows such that had such catchy jingles, that is was impossible to not have memorized. Every time you hear "Spider Man, Spider Man, Does Whatever a spider can." you know that a web swinging, crime fighting hero was on the television set, and you can not help but walking over to the T.V., sit down, and watch the show.,These were some videos of popular T.V. shows. There is also one Song of a Super Hero that wasn't a theme song, but is very well recognized as a Song of a hero.

 

My Music Hero.

There are many bands that I listen to and all of them had a chance to win the My Music Hero award, such as The Rentals, The Foo Fighters and The Strokes, but there is only one band that can win, and that band is Weezer. The style of their music is so simple and easy to understand, there is not one thing I can think of that would make me dislike them. The band consists of Rivers Cuomo (Lead Singer and Guitarist) Brian Bell (Guitarist) Scott Shriner (Bassists) and Patrick Wilson (Drummer). The Band Was Formed in the year of 1992, and has put out five records, The Blue album, Pinkerton, The Green Album, Maladroit, Make Believe, and their latest album, The red album. They have come out with such songs as My Name Jonas, Island in the sun, and The Greatest Man That Ever Lived. They have such a easy, yet creative style, that I have been attracted to for almost seven years. Here is an example of their style. 


My Conclusion

There are many people that think music is a silly hobby or passion, but in retrospect it really isn't. Music has inspired many people to do great things. It is a way of expressing yourself, in which you wouldn't be able to in any other way. "Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water-bath is to the body." said by Oliver Wendell Holmes. This is saying that it is almost impossible to live without music. Music is as important as taking a bath or a shower, and without it, we would be missing a big part of our life, and our souls.
