Legendary trios in rock: the best trio bands in rock music according to Fuzz Music magazine
Содержание
Five or four people - here it is, the classic line-up of any rock band, the gold standard, which is still relied on today. We have the king of rhythm - the drummer, the soul of sound - the guitarist (solo, rhythm, electric), the bassist who sets the tone, and, of course, the vocalist (he is usually the face of the band). But it happens that one person fulfils several functions at once. And he does it in the most dignified way!
Today we have decided to pay tribute to our beloved rock triowho have proved that the public "can be taken" only by professionalism, not by quantity. And in this they are really cool!
ZZ Top
Texas legends-- ZZ Top remain one of the greatest blues-rock trios in history! Their style is unique, and it's how they managed to take the world by storm: harsh blues tones combined with light southern rock'n'roll motifs. That in itself already sounds appealing! Known for his harsh, growling guitar tone, Billy Gibbons teamed up with bassist and vocalist Dusty Hill and the drummer Frank BeardTo make music that much more adventurous. As a result, these guys have influenced legions of followers (and even contemporaries) from genres ranging from country to heavy rock!
Over the course of his career. ZZ Top played, recorded and released excellent music, which many "full-fledged" bands have never been able to replicate.
Rush
For many years Neil Peart was a legend Rush. He remains that way even after his death. He wrote the lyrics and provided the band with an excellent rhythm section. Over the years, the trio played a lot of concerts, and Pirt always did his job with quality and diligence.
Rush deserve a lot of credit for the contribution they have made to the rock industry (and the world music industry in general). They were one of the most successful bands early rockwho used synthesisers in their sound. As the new wave gave way to a more guitar-orientated sound, so did Rush: they returned to their roots. Their work includes incredibly complex, experimental compositions and lyrics that lean heavily on science fiction and fantasy. All of this, coupled with the talent of each member, is admirable.
Cream
For classic rock, there is no trio more significant and powerful than the Cream. Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. - these three powerful players became legends of their time and genre. And Clapton, later a successful solo star, who has earned the title of one of the first guitar rock heroes.
Their third record "Wheels of Fire" became the first double album to reach platinum status! Cream recorded some of the loudest and coolest songs of the 60s, easily placing them at the top of the charts. They had a major influence on subsequent generations of rockers, changed the soundscape and became synonymous with the blues-rock.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
What would happen if a bluesy guitarist from Seattle travelled to swinging London of the 60's and met a virtuoso drummer and an excellent bassist? And there will be a rock'n'roll extravaganza of sounds, feelings and emotions encapsulated in some of the most recognisable tracks of the time! Simply put - we've just told you about the origins and further influence of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, a trio consisting of Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell. и Noel Redding.
In just three years, they have identified psychedelic rock (and the fashion of the time), unknowingly becoming pioneers of hard rock. Hendrix's combination of rhythm and lead guitar created a confident, roaring sound that influenced generations of iconic guitarists...
The Police
The late 1970s was the best time for the fledgling rock band. Punk was in full bloom, reggae-infused rock was starting to become popular, and post-punk and new wave were in their infancy. And now, onto the world stage. The Police. Vocalist and bassist Gordon Sumner (a.k.a. Sting), guitarist Andy Summers and the drummer Stuart Copeland combined all of these elements (with a little splash of jazz) in a sound that turned them into one of the best British power trios to conquer the world.
Today, everyone knows their songs - "Roxanne." at the very least! Although they broke up at the height of their power and went on to have a successful solo career, The Police reinvented what it meant to be a a powerful triofreeing themselves from the classic rock sound and clichés.
