It seems to me that there already are "Stones" and "Eagles" Realtracks styles available. OK, I grant you that there are no styles that specifically sound like "Satisfaction" or "Hotel California" - but...

But yes ... post some ideas in the Styles Wishlist. It could be that Rock is being ignored because it is the "elephant in the room" - being the biggest selling musical style over the last 40 years or so - and maybe most people haven't thought of asking more Rock styles (thinking them to be too "obvious" or something).

Maybe I can think of a few suggestions myself. Be nice to have a drummer who could play in the style of "Ringo circa the White Album" or "Charlie Watts" just for starters. Or maybe some pseudo-Hendrix guitar styles...



I'm sure you're right (I don't have BIAB booted up on my other puter right now.) But I would assume that there are enough that with the right chord changes and the use of dots and muting certain instruments in certain measures a TON more rock "styles" could be cobbled together by us users.

Heck...Keith fell asleep in a Chicago hotel room after he "toyed around" with the now iconic signature lick in Satisfaction...which HE intended to be a horn section!!! In the studio, he used a Gibson Maestro fuzz box into God knows what amp (a Champ????) because he was just "sketching" the line for horns. (-:

But he got out-voted by the other band members and the producer...and the rest is history!

A really interesting book could be written about how acts of "genius" in the arts and sciences were actually either blind luck... pure accident or aggressively fought AGAINST by the "genius" in question!!

George C. Scott (I happen to know for a fact) was AGGRESSIVELY OPPOSED to the inclusion of the now legendary opening scene of Patton with him standing in front of the American flag!!

He felt the scene was SO powerful that the film would have no place left to go. How wrong was THAT!!!!
