The Allman Brothers Band - Jessica
The Original Lineup of The Allman Brothers Band
The Allman Brothers Band is a band from Macon, Georgia. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame labeled this band as "The principal architect of Southern Rock". This band was formed in 1969 and described as "the best damn rock and roll band in this country has produced in past five years" by Rolling Stone's George Kimball.
The band has been awarded eleven Gold and five Platinum albums between 1971 and 2005. Rolling Stone magazine listen The Allman Brothers Band as one their 100 Greatest Artist of All Time in 2004.
History
The band was formed in Jacksonville, Florida on March 26, 1969.
The band members were Duane Allman (slide guitar lead guitar), Gregg Allman (vocal, organ), Dickey Betts (lead guitars, vocal), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums) and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). Duane and Gregg had originally been in a garage band called The Escorts.
Dickey Betts filled Duane's former role in completing the last album he participated. After some concerts the band added Chuck Leavell (pianist) to gain another lead instrument but without directly replacing Duane.
Berry Oakley died in another motorcycle accident on November 11, 1972 only three blocks away from the site of Duane Allman's fatal accident.
Oakley was replaced by Lamar Williams at the end of 1972.
Personality conflicts started to tear the band apart during late 70's and 80's when Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts both began their solo album. In 1989 The Allman Brothers reunited and returned to popular consciousness of the American public until present day.
A legendary classic rock band.
Happy Weekend!!

Alright, as I promised this 'Band Of The Week' will back after the bloggers gathering. Back to my business, this weekend I want to introduce you all my most favorite rock band - Dream Theater.
Let's start with my favorite songs selection. Hollow Years (Live at Budokan) is one of my most favorite song, the guitar solo by John Petrucci really killer! Next also another live version, The Spirit Carries On (20th Anniversary World Tour), the guitar solo.
.. again will make you cry too.
Following will be the heavy one, As I Am...
this song really powerful!!!
One of their most favorite song is Metropolis, that's another one of their finest music work. Lastly will be Another Day, another slow version from this band.
Actually I prefer even more in heavy version, but I afraid you all can't take it, so I just posted the slow version.
Dream Theater - Another Day
Dream Theater is a progressive metal band formed by Mike Portnoy (drums), John Petrucci (guitars) and John Myung (bass guitars). Three of them were from Berklee College of Music in United State. The current line up of this band together with Jordan Rudess (keyboards) and Kevin James LaBrie (singer).
Dream Theater also is a well known for the technical proficiency of each instrumental, they also won many awards from music magazines.
Dream Theater was formed in 1985 and named as Majesty. Somehow in 1986 they were forced to change their name when another band named Majesty threatening legal action.
Therefor, Portnoy's father suggested named as Dream Theater, the name of a now demolished theater in Monterey, California.

John Petrucci
He is one of the most finest guitar palyer I ever seen, I really admire his skills. Now he also join with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai for the G3 tour.
Petrucci also notable as one of the musicians to popularize the usage of seven strings guitar (alongside Steve Vai, Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George and the nu metal band Korn).
. my guitar god
Mike Portnoy
Portnoy has won 22 awards from the Modern Drummer Magazine. He was the youngest (at 37 years of age) to be inducted into the Modern Drummer magazine's Rock Drummer Hall of Fame.
He is one of my favorite rock drummers, I really enjoy to see he plays on drums.
. my drum god
Myung has somewhat become the mystery member of Dream Theater. He really rarely speak and draw attention to himself in concerts.
He is very quiet and very committed into his career. I've met Myung in personal in 2005 when he came to Malaysia. I was so excited to meet him in his bass clinic and get his autograph, and.
.. I did it!
I got his autograph on a post card and one of my Dream Theater's CD cover.
Myung's autograph..
. don't play play oh..
. I really have it!
.. the finest progressive rock band in this planet!
Happy Weekend!!!
