Rock Musicians and their work
Axl Rose & Sweet Child O Mine

Axl rose's work.
Axl rose is a renowned singer most known for helping write Paradise city, Welcome to the jungle and November rain renowned rock songs which are almost universally recognized.
His work on the debut album helped boost Guns N' Roses debut album, Appetite for destruction having a distinguished style and voice Axles tone along with the bands chemistry was one of the main things that set the band out on the course to becoming world famous and renowned.
Though being the singer of Guns N' Roses is a achievement itself Axle has worked with many bands, producers, brands and rockstars providing assistance or contribution to bands such as Hollywood Rose, L.A. Guns, AC/DC, Queen and Rapidfire to name a few.
Rose worked with AC/DC as a lead singer taking the place of Brian Johnson due to health issues with his hearing so Axl rose took over as a session musician for the band during the Rock or bust tour in 2016.
This other than paradise city and welcome to the jungle these are the songs I think about when I hear Guns N' roses it's a classic heavy rock song with many attributes that contribute and connect to the attitude of the genre and it's audience with brave feats on over expressing the message.
Steven Tyler & Dream on.
Steven Tyler is know as that one guy who made that song for the 1998 film armageddon starring Bruce willis anyway enough about the move stuff since Steven Tyler's work far exceeded just some famous song, being a member of the rock band aerosmith you may have heard of them making the hit song dream on.
This song like another in this blog post Is that iconic even eminem sampled it in future years making his take on dream on paying respects to this classic, Dream on it self is a song having a united goods and bads that make us all human and learning from the mistakes from your past are the only thing we can do to change the world. Overall the guitar and drums create the perfect build up in these songs and help support the theme of being a song about retribution.
Alice Cooper & Schools out.
Alice cooper is a rockstar for lack of a better term the legend himself is recognised among the likes of other rockstar legends like Ozzy Osbourne, John Bonham and Elvis.
This song is about celebrating that one summer break we remember from our school days and how we felt as soon as that final bell went and what we thought at that time. Schools out is a classic rock song and I don't know people who wouldn't suggest this song when it come to getting into the genre of rock.
Jazz
Labi Siffre & I got the.
Labi Siffre know for his inspirational songs like so strong and songs about oppression like school days Labi's work does open some eyes when I comes to the history of oppression and he's a good inspiration using music to help change the world in the years the guy has been making music.
The consistent and catch baseline makes this song a good listen for anyone who is interested In Labis work. This song was also that good Eminem would sample it if to make his song My name is and is a testament to how Labi siffre's work has impacted people regardless of who they are.
Miles Davis & so what.
Miles davis is a magnificent trumpiere who uses his trumpet as his singing voice as shown in this video of him performing so what you'll see how his work inspired the like so Pink floyd to utilise the trumpet in many of there songs along with may other bands I miles davis's career and beyond.
As you can see in this video Miles puts all his life force into playing the trumpet and it seems as if the guy just can't stop playing it's that fun for him and he obviously can breath under water cause it's like he has the lung capacity that'll rival superman, but listening to his work inspires others to take up the trumpet and though so what is more like Lo Fi music it really shouldn't be seen that way cause the trumpet Is the vocals in this song.
Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong yet another trumpeter and vocalist with incredible talent most known for his song what a wonderful world Louis has a crazy reputation and influence in jazz and most likely music in general.
This song like a lot of others to see the good in life and to appreciate what we have, the lyrical delivery and instrumentation is perfect and a good repistentasion of jazz and the vibes all it's music has in attributes.
Country
Johnny cash
Johnny cash though not seen as the greatest person alive he has contributed a lot to country music as one of the top ten people to listen to if you plan on listening to country music.
Ring of fire Is a good representation of country music musicians with acoustic guitars singing about country life, Bar fights, love, six shooters, stories about outlaws and sheriffs mainly this song is about johnny falling into a pit of fire maybe suggesting he has done something wrong and can't pull himself out of the hole he dug for himself, this is the sort of stories you should expect from a country song.
John denver
John denver's country roads is probably one of the most known country song of all time and it's popularity only increases the longer I has lived, due to the songs great reputation and execution it's no wonder you hear this song in every trailer for a open world game nowadays. Used in the trailer for the release of fallout 76 a game about a post apocalypse survival game based in the countryside of post apocalyptic USA and since country roads is about the beauty of John's home state it's funny they'd use it for a apocalyptic setting.
Marty Robbins
Marty Robbins, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist, and NASCAR racing driver which is awesome he is known for his work on the song Big Iron which I am using now as to tell you why this is one of the three songs I pick to represent country as a genre. I'm not trying to keep stereotypical with the songs I picked but isn't that technically what genre is a reoccurring similarity in particular things? Anyway Mary Robbins Big iron fits all the suits when it comes to being a quintessential country song Instrumentally and lyrically a very westton story about a rivalry between two outlaws,gunslingers and normal men from the country, the lyrical execution is great it's its own thing and I think inspired others to make similar leaps like this in the future of country music especially when it comes to singing.
