As you guys can probably tell, more hours than we’d like to think about now went into working out this giant musical jigsaw and getting it to work harmonically at the same time, but in hindsight we’d have loved to have tried to get some of the incredible women in rock to sit within the mix and feature a few videos rather than just noting their influence. It would have been great for us to start earlier on and explore more of the influence of the early pioneers before Elvis, which we picked mainly because musically it makes a great sounding intro with The Yardbirds. We really hope that comes across and you guys enjoy the video for what it is. There are tons of hugely influential artists and sub-genres that we haven’t included in this and our main aim was to create a mashup that was foremost entertaining to watch, contain it to around 15mins, for it to primarily work well musically (and in the form of a Facebook feed) and have examples of the evolution of mainstream rock over the decades rather than create a kind of definitive documentary of rock.
Some people have also made some really good points about the diversity of the acts involved and raised questions about what’s been included vs what hasn’t etc.
Thanks for the amazing response to the video in the last couple of days, it’s really blown us away. History of Rock from Ithaca Audio on Vimeo.ģ48 rockstars, 84 guitarists, 64 songs, 44 drummers, 1 mashup.
