Robert Plant at 62
Vocalist Robert Plant, born August 20th, 1948, just celebrated his 62nd birthday. I’ve always been a Led Zeppelin fan, not only for Plant’s outrageous vocals, but also because I admire John Bonham’s uncanny sense of timing as a drummer. One of my favorite Robert Plant solo projects is the short-lived Honeydrippers group, formed in 1984 [...]
Fender’s Jazz bass guitar hits 50
Fender.com has a great article celebrating the 50th anniversary of their Jazz Bass Guitar. It’s a great read, taking us back to the birth of rock n’ roll in the fifties. I’ve summarized some of it here, with my own comments. The Precision Bass first appeared in 1951. The world’s first commercially successful solid-body electric [...]
Montrose
The cable Music Choice Channel was playing in the background as I was working. “Hmm, sounds like Zeppelin, but I don’t recognize the song?” So I look over at the screen and it’s Montrose from 1973 playing “Space Station # 5.” Wow, what a surprise. Sure sounds a lot like early Zeppelin, from their 1st [...]
Jason Bonham at Winter NAMM 2010
Jason Bonham at the Ludwig booth talking about Ludwig’s Vistalite Plexiglas drums, that were originally introduced in 1972. Did you know John Bonham played an amber Vistalite set in Led Zeppelin? Jason’s website jasonbonham.net displays a beautiful yellow Vistalite set with a Zeppelin logo on the bass drum head. www.ludwig-drums.com www.namm.org www.namm.org/thenammshow/2010
Happy Birthday Jimmy Page
Happy Birthday to Jimmy Page, one of our favorite English musicians, guitarists and songwriters, born January 9th, 1944. If you’ve ever marveled at a successful career, Page is a great example; from his early studio sessions, through the Yardbirds to Led Zeppelin to The Firm, his work with Robert Plant and David Coverdale, and his [...]
Happy Birthday John Paul Jones
Happy Birthday to John Paul Jones, born January 3, 1946. Musician, multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and arranger, Jones’ work with Led Zeppelin is legendary, not only on bass but keyboards as well. Jones is currrently working with a new group, Them Crooked Vultures, featuring Jones on bass and piano, along with Dave Grohl of Nirvana & [...]
Decade of Classic Rock 2000-2009
I read plenty of music reviews about the end-of-the-year and end-of-the-decade, but none of them really captured what I felt was a good look at the classic rock scene in the past ten years. So here’s my take on the past decade in classic rock… 2000: Santana wins a record nine Grammy Awards, including Album [...]
Grammy Awards
The Grammy Awards was a three-and-a-half-hour extravaganza, but the long listing of performance artists sounded more like an all-day music festival than this year’s show. The Performers: Paul McCartney rocked out with Dave Grohl on drums, who was clearly enjoying himself. How appropriate they played “I Saw Her Standing There,” one of the original Beatle [...]
“How Many More Times” Yardbirds to Zeppelin
Found a great video of a young Led Zeppelin jamming to my favorite track off their debut album…”How Many More Times.” There appears to be five videos in a series, recorded from Vu!, probably a television show in Scandinavia, where the band initially performed as the New Yardbirds. Wow, you can really see the group [...]
Led Zeppelin I
It was forty years ago when Led Zeppelin released their debut album on January 12, 1969. The group had already played some gigs under their new name, after fulfilling contractual obligations as the New Yardbirds in 1968, and were now on their first U.S. tour as Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin I is still [...]
