The Second Voice
When you’re the lead singer in a band, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get all the attention…after all, you are the visual and audio focal point for pretty much everything…
Yeah, there might be a hot guitarist or someone else flashy in the group, but for the 99% of the time, the spotlight is on you…which is fine if you’re the lead singer…
But if you’re not?...what if you’re the schlep on bass or drums?...what if you’re the newest member of the band and you haven’t earned the right to claim any of the glare…maybe you have something to say…or maybe you have something to sing…
Chances are you’ll get shouted down, ignored or buried…but not always…i’ve found some very, very good songs where the second voice in the band—or the third or the even the fourth has stepped-up big-time to grab centre stage, even for just one single song…and here’s the thing: you might not even know it…

The Original Ramones

This is the story of the original Ramones.

Rock's Most Iconic Instruments
Most of us probably go through a phase where we decide to make music for ourselves…maybe we’ll do it alone, or perhaps we want to be part of a band.
The first thing you need to do is decide what instrument you will play…once you do that, you have to narrow things down to the exact make and model of that instrument.
When you’re starting out, your dream instrument is probably out of reach financially, so you make do with whatever you can afford…but you never lose sight of one day owning an iconic rock’n’roll machine of some sort.
It might be a guitar…and if it’s a guitar, you will inevitably have an opinion on amplifiers…perhaps you’re into keyboards…you might covet an expensive grand piano…or you have your eye on a particular line and model of electronic keyboard….the same applies to drums.
So what are these iconic instruments? What instruments are famous and desired by musicians worldwide, regardless of their level of expertise ?...and what about these particular music-making things that make them so desirable?
Let’s investigate…this is a look at the most iconic instruments—the goats of the tools of rock’n’roll.
