You will have to forgive me, but I imagine that somewhere a furry

pad.

Do you think he's wearing leotards while doing so?

Yes, and with a leopard print.

Slade, to me, were just a noizy pop band and without any real talent

Hell, I'm embarrassed by having one of them. 😉

Not me.

Slade was cool. They at least got away from the guitar solo thing.

To me the band from that era I always come back to is Pink Floyd. I've
never quit listening to them.

Later on - the Clash. I've never quit listening to them either.

And of course, dirty little Angus.

Atomic Rooster.

LED ZEPPELIN
It's 30 years since Led Zeppelin released Physical Graffiti and
invented heavy rock as we know it. Here's the inside story of how
they did it. Q mag talks about it and how Zep is THE best band of
all time and how they are more relevant now more than ever.

Jim

It must have been close to forty years since I heard them for the first
time. They were the warm-up band in a concert with Country Joe & the Fish in
Stockholm. The year must have been maybe 67 or 68. They were totally unknown
at this time but they made Country Joe sound like the warm down band instead
😉

I'm pretty sure Page was still with the Yardbirds in 67.
He also did a collaberation recording with Screaming Lord Sutch and
Friends which was total [censored].

Saw Zeps first stateside concert NYC Academy of Music (or Fillmore
East?) They it was billed as The new heavy metal sound. They opened
for of all Groups "Iron Butterfly" (heavy metal get it) believe it was
fall of 68.

You could barely see his body, but I swear you could see his Tonsils
in the middle of that head of hair, and when he wailed
BAAAYY...BBBAAYYY,,,,BAAAYY...BBBAAYYY and the guitar answered back
Ah What a "Far F"ing Out Show<BG>😉

I was hilarious! after everyone was absolutely amazed at these wailing
skinny English electric speed freaks with voice and guitar like
nothing they had ever experienced.

Then on stage comes the Sears/mod American Iron Butterfly, with clunky
Peace symbols, Polka dots, voice synth and "Ina Goda Diveda"
Everyone actually screamed for them to bring back Zep

I'm feeling my age because a similar thing that happened the first
time I saw or even heard of Hendrix. He was actually opening for "The
Monkees" in NYC Central Park Walman rink (I worked there at the time,
got backstage and got to get snubbed by Hendrix,)
Noel said "he's not normally like that man, give him a few minutes
by himself"

He went into his tent and I believe "he kissed the sky"
No surprise he still didn't talk to the likes of me <VBG>😉

Sorry bout that "ya drug it out of me" or I'm just sharing a big
offtopic flashback <VBG>

Them was the days

Bah. They just stole a bunch of blues licks and arranged them in a format
that would appeal to stoned white kids.

They also stole from Blind Lemmon Jefferson, but he was dead, so he
couldn't sue.
Tom Morley

Either that or he wasn't very good with numbers and couldn't figure out how much
to sue them for. ;-) Hi Tom, good to see you!

release of III
There really wasn't much comparison.

Yes...they really did.
Having said that, Iron Butterfly were actually really good.
There was a huge delay between tham and Zep which turned out to be
because a lot of their equipment was damaged in a Woodstock sized rain
storm. (It was a large outdoor multi band concert with Rare Earth and
a few other decent bands as well)
When they finally came on any thoughts that they might not have wanted
to follow Iron B. were quickly dispelled.

Absolutely, and Iron Butterfly were pretty good themselves.

No way. I agree with John Lennon's sentiment - "There are no new notes."

But when you do a cover you give credit where it is due.

I read an interesting article on this subject yesterday while hamstering
on the treadmill:

http://newyorker.com/fact/content/?041122fa_fact

Arnold Schoenberg would say tongue-in-cheek "There are plenty of good
pieces waiting to be written in C major". He'd then even say so and
giggle, partaking of a big juicy pork gyro.

mmmmm, pork gyro.
