To what extent did the aerial forces of the First World War impact the course of the war and its outcome? “The day has passed when armies on the ground or navies on the sea can be the arbiter of a nation's destiny in war. The main power of defense and the power of initiative against an enemy has passed to the air.” -Brigadier General Billy Mitchell. November, 1918. The Italo-Turkish war, which lasted from 1911-12 and was predominantly fought in Libya, was the first recorded event of a bomb…

demonstrates that the wall is not affected in one way alone; a different action will cause a different reaction even if they may have the same goal. “There’s a way through a gate or a door”(2) which would be the most common way through, or you could use “zeppelins, helicopters, rockets, bombs, battering rams, [and] armies”(10). Although one could overcome the wall in both ways, the reply from the wall is different in each case; in the first the wall is unharmed, but in the second case the…

The genre I have chosen is Rock. Common instruments used in Rock music are mostly amplified instruments, like the electric guitar and electric bass. Rock also uses strong baseline and driving rhythms. Rock music, which was developed from rock ‘n’ roll, originated from the late 1940’s in the United States. It was influenced by country and blues music that started making a new sound using electric guitars and a balanced drum beat, which was a faster beat and rhythm instead of a slow one. Rock…

screaming vocals. People don’t usually think of slow, smooth, bluesy guitar playing when they think of rock music, but what most people don’t realize is that without the blues, musicians such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and even AC/DC would not exist. Blues music has had a dramatic influence the way rock music has, and is currently played, heard, and thought of in today's scope of music. For instance, when listening to rock music nowadays, and certainly…

Hindenburg was going to make a huge difference It had been made in Germany and after 30 years of travel on commercial zeppelins Germany had decided to make a leap in air travel.

Heavy metal music is and always will be one of the most polarising and controversial music genres in the world. While it is not without controversy, many fans of metal praise it as being the greatest musical style in the world. With the legions of fans it has, it is easy to see why metal has become such a massive phenomenon. The history of metal, staying true to the themes of it, is a dark grueling path of drugs, fights, brotherhood, and death. Metal has a very rich history full of culture…

While airplanes and observation balloons were mainly used for reconnaissance during World War I, their potential to drop bombs was experimented with. The Germans developed the Zeppelin, a balloon filled with hydrogen air sacs (Modern Marvels). Starting in January 1915, the Germans bombed Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn, and then began to repeatedly bomb London beginning May 31. Ordinary civilians in London were minding their business…

It is evident that the era of rock and roll greats such as Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin are fading. However, the passionate fans these legends created are still hungry for fist pumping guitar solos and rhythm driving bass drums. This desire for rock in roll in the twenty-first century is being adopted by the most popular radio music format in the United States: the country music industry (Kelly & Hunt 2016). In the words of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, “Country is the new rock ‘n’ roll…

On Saturday, October 28th, performers Tegan and Sara held a concert at the Queen Elizabeth. Although Tegan and Sara have been around since the 90s, they have really come into their own over the last ten years. Many fans consider their album, The Con (2007) to be the first “real” album that the duo produced, not unlike some of bands discussed in class- for example, many fans consider Abbey Road to be the last “real” album The Beatles produced. The performers themselves, Tegan and Sara, are twin…

Shrouded in an abundance of myths, such as the prospect that Johnson had sold his soul to the devil in order to obtain his musical expertise, Johnson’s legend prospers in the recordings of inspired musicians such as Muddy Waters, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and a handful more sensational performers sprouting from the American blues era (Robert Johnson Wiki). Robert Johnsons King of the Delta Blues Singers released in 1961, superseded the restrictions of former race music and left an…
