Theory of a Deadman

My favorite band at the moment is Theory of a Deadman. I've seen them live twice, though Tyler, the lead singer, isn't very good live, like at all, but it was still the coolest concert I've ever been to. Their latest album, The Truth Is... is my favorite album of theirs. I love their lyrics, their instrumentals, Tyler's vocals (when the studio makes it better of course). I like the lyrics the most, they really make you think. Like We Were Men, it really makes me think about the soldiers fighting for our country, how they "defend our country with [their] lives".  I also like Head Above Water, because I guess I can kind of relate to it because to me it's about a struggle, or a difficulty someone goes through. I of course have all of their albums, a "hard-core" fan of theirs!

The Rock Revolution

My top three favorite artists that we listened to in class would have to be Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, and Little Richard. I like how Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard when they're singing they hit really high notes, I think that sounds so cool. Jerry Lee Lewis, is so crazy and insane which I really love and I think it's hilarious. Also, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard both play the piano while they're playing, at first I didn't really like the sound of the piano but listening to them, makes me enjoy the piano much more, I like the way they play it in a rock and roll tone. Elvis Presley, he's ehh good, I LOVE his overall look, the dancing, everything, and I somewhat like his vocals. My Grandma is completely in love with Elvis Presley, she has Elvis Presley pillows, address books, everything. My number one favorite singer this week was Jerry Lee Lewis, he's great at piano, he has good vocals and he's completely bonkers.
