Kashmir Chicago - Taste of Polonia 9/4/2010

Lalaha — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 21:37:40 GMT

Met some friends for pierogis and brews at the city's biggest Polish festival, and to hear Kashmir, a midwestern LZ tribute, for the first time. Meh.

Visually, it was a hot mess. The paunchy, double chinned singer had some sort of platinum wavy shoulder length something (:confused:) on his head. Surely it was just a cheap wig and not his own hair, but platinum? I couldn't figure it out all night - and honestly, could barely stand to look at him. Yeah, it was that bad. Percy's fish pout was passable because he was hotter than Hades, but on a middle aged guy? Just creepy. The guitarist was very Jimmy '77 - whippet-thin, REALLY long hair (his own), but with silver moons and stars pants and sort of a poppy-esque top. Cute, with proper gear usage by song, but inexplicably he kept jumping off the stage into the crowd. Not too Jimmy-like there. The drummer was wearing a shirt reminiscent of TSRTS AND the bowler hat, while the bass player made no attempt to mimic JPJ in looks, dress or playing style. In fact he looked/played so much like Geezer Butler I wouldn't be surprised if he's also in a Sabbath band.

Aurally, it was better. The singer actually manages to sound a good bit like Robert, the guitarist was pretty accurate and his tone was nice - but he was the one who played the few bits of organ used. Very odd. The bass player was solid and the drumming was pretty good on an amber kit EXCEPT for the solo. He needs to go back and really listen to what Bonzo was doing with his bare hands, because it was not a bongo solo. The played some deeper cuts like In the Light, Royal Orleans, Out on the Tiles and Wanton Song, but also included some others in medleys. The guitarist was the real frontman, and he kept saying how they were playing for the love of the music. I thought that was nice.

IF they dropped all of the faux Zeppelin look and stage mannerisms, and just played the music being themselves, I might see them again. But as is, not so much.

get a load of this place in Arizona:

You can get the Quadruple Bypass Burger. It has FOUR half-pound beef patties (if your math fails you, that's TWO WHOLE POUNDS of hamburger), EIGHT slices of cheese, and I love this part, TWELVE slices of bacon! All in a trim 8,000 calorie meal! the thing is a foot high!

Sexist remark: the waitresses are a nice touch!

Around the TV (and radio) dial... LZ etc.

Lalaha — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:32:32 GMT

If you're channel surfing and notice an upcoming show featuring LZ or a related topic, this is the place to share that knowledge with your fellow PZers! I know that I personally watched TSRTS any time I stumbled upon it, until I got wise and saved it on the DVR (sometimes putting in a dvd is too much hassle!).

Make sure you mention the channel, date and time (and country if your PZ location is of an esoteric nature! ;)).

First Up:

1) If you have DirectTV on demand, you can watch It Might Get Loud anytime before Sept 16!

2) VH1 has a new limited series premiering this Sunday (Sept 5), 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Led Zeppelin will appear on Hour 5, the episode for artist's 20-1 (I won't spoil the surprise by saying which place), which debuts on Thursday, Sept 9 at 9pm CDT in the USA.

Mods - maybe you can sticky this so folks can find it? Thanks!

Stepping Down

infidel — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:44:16 GMT

Hello all!

I am writing let everyone know that I have tendered my resignation as an admin on PZ effective September 15 (gotta give two weeks notice! :o).

I have enjoyed my time as moderator and admin at PZ, and I am not disappearing, I just wanted to be "demoted" to a regular member at this point in time for personal reasons. I am now working (and enjoying!) two jobs, I have some other coals in some other fires, and I just do not have the time to put into the site I once had and that it deserves.

I know Bud and Gypsy would let me keep my status as admin even if I can't come here as much, but I just feel I'd rather close the book on my service or I will always feel like I should be doing something at PZ. And I'm finding now that people PM me because I am an admin and I do not get their messages for a while and often do not have the time to help them and I don't like feeling like I'm leaving people hanging.

I want to make clear this is a completely personal decision, that there is no other reason for it, and that I will still be visiting the site as much as I can. I only say this because there is so much behind the scenes stuff going in at various internet forums and I want to assure you all that there's nothing like that behind this decision. :)

Thanks to Bud and Gypsy for allowing me to serve such a great site and such a great group of people. I wish PZ nothing but the best for evermore. :)

The Groove Remains the Same - a tribute to John Bonham

Lalaha — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:58:32 GMT

If I was still living on the west coast I would SO attend this event! :hippy:

>>September 25, 2010, marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of LED ZEPPELIN drummer John Bonham. His groove and sound is considered to be the most influential of all rock-n-roll drummers; John "Bonzo" Bonham is the undisputed king. Bonzo will once again be honored in a special concert featuring rock's biggest names behind the kit at the Key Club in Hollywood, California.

On stage and for one night only, a rotating cast of guest drummers perform their favorite LED ZEPPELIN songs.

Confirmed drummers include:

* Steven Adler (GUNS N' ROSES, ADLER'S APPETITE)
* Vinny Appice (BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, DIO)
* Kenny Aronoff (JOHN COUGAR, JOHN FOGERTY)
* Frankie Banali (QUIET RIOT)
* Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN, FOREIGNER)
* Fred Coury (CINDERELLA)
* Jimmy D'Anda (BULLETBOYS)
* James Kottak (SCORPIONS)
* Khurt Maier (SALTY DOG)
* Chris Slade (THE FIRM, AC/DC)
* Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, CHICKENFOOT)
* Brian Tichy (WHITESNAKE, FOREIGNER, BILLY IDOL)
* Joe Travers (ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA, DURAN DURAN)
* Simon Wright (AC/DC, DIO)

Carmine Appice (VANILLA FUDGE, ROD STEWART) will perform via video.

Joining the drummers on stage will be musicians Brent Woods (guitar), Michael "Denim" Devin (bass), Keith St. John (vocals), Stephen LeBlanc (keys) and Brian Tichy (guitar).

"Not a day goes by where I don't think of John Bonham's snare sound, and it hit me � 'Why isn't there a Bonzo tribute where every drummer gets up on a Vistalite kit, with gong and timpanis, and plays their favorite ZEPPELIN song?" co-organizer Brian Tichy, said. "I thought of all the drummers I know that worship at the alter of John Bonham and being in L.A., there are so many here."

Promoter Joe Sutton took care of the rest and has helped organize this striking tribute. His moxie for the all-mighty Bonzo and LED ZEPPELIN has never wavered.

"First and foremost, LED ZEPPELIN is the greatest band in the world and it is not a coincidence that John Bonham was the drummer," Sutton said. "Bonham's drumming is one of the main reasons that they were able to sound so huge."

Sutton continued, "I remember the day that John Bonham died; it broke my heart. Not only to lose a great man and the best drummer in the world, but to lose LED ZEPPELIN as a band was just devastating to myself and everyone I knew. So to have a chance to put together a tribute 30 years later for the almighty Bonzo I will use all of my efforts and experience to put together a very special night."

Tickets for "Bonzo: The Groove Remains The Same" can be purchased at Keyclub.com.

The Key Club is located at 9039 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. <<

Vanilla Fudge and Led Zeppelin

StarChildBlade — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 07:37:25 GMT

I was wondering if it was known as to whether these two bands ever jammed live together before. I know they toured, and they partied together, but I was wondering if there was ever a time when they actually played music onstage together.

I am a huge fan of both bands, and Vanilla Fudge regards Zep very highly, enough to release a full on tribute to them (Out Through The In Door, 2008), and I'm sure that back in the day, Zep acknowledged Fudge as an initial important influence.

Hello Fellow Zep Fans

CarvinAbuser — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:56:46 GMT

My name is Craig, I'm a guitar player (heavily influenced by Jimmy Page) and a big Zeppelin fan. I think they're the greatest hard rock band of all time. My favorite album is LZII.

I'm also in a rock band called The Fabrockators. We're trying to keep classic rock alive and we have a Zeppelin influenced song called "The Sin". Check us out when you can. Thanks

Lalaha — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:47:26 GMT

Good in-depth interview can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00th8kp for the next week. You can advance the iplayer up to the 1hour 2 minute-ish mark, where it starts with Ramble On. It also contains the BBC version of Heartbreaker, and Kashmir. Nice memories of Peter, some fun Riot House moments, and one of his better explanations about his reunion tour refusal.

It lasts almost an hour and also includes Angel Dance and another song, House of Cards, from the new album (at 1 hour, 54), towards the end. I will need to listen to that last one again 'cuz my jury is still out on his vocal tone in a few places...
