Filed under: The Hit List GAB Archive, Redferns After a 1976 gig in Memphis, Bruce Springsteen hopped a Graceland gate at 3AM, hoping to meet his idol, Elvis Presley . Just as he was about to knock on the front door, though, a guard stopped him, and Springsteen was escorted off the property. Since that time, numerous other celebrities -- including Elvis Costello , Paul Simon , Katy Perry [...]
Everybody likes to make a comparison about artistes and Ralph's old man is no exception. He heard Wullae Wright's 'Halo Effect' playing on my laptop and next thing he was wiping the dust of his collection of vinyl, dug out Led Zeppelin I and stuck it under my nose muttering....."Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". Chance would be a fine thing some would say, however I had a listen and low and behold Wullae Wright [...]
Before the holiday break, the godfathers of heavy metal, Led Zeppelin were bestowed a high honor with the US President Barack Obama presenting them with the Kennedy Center honors. At the presentation, Obama was in rare-form delivering a hilarious speech honoring the rock greats. There was also a concert where bands came out and paid tribute to ... The post Everything About The LED ZEPPELIN Tribute Show Was Awesome (Except Kid Rock) appeared first on Metal Injection .
As we embark into what is obviously not the end of the world, I would like to give you some food for thought. When did you start settling for mediocrity? When did apathy become acceptable? When did the DJ become the promoter? When did DJ's start aspiring to become the next Milli Vanilli? Out of [...]
Don't expect to get a whole lotta details from Jimmy Page on his long-awaited new solo album, scheduled for release sometime in 2013. The Led Zeppelin legend insists that saying too much only sets up false impressions. "One of the worst things is, you say: I'm getting together with this musician and that musician or another musician, and they've already [...]
Foo Fighters hace poco, quizás muchos se acuerden, tocó en el Kennedy Center Honors en lo que fue un show en honor a Led Zeppelin, quizás la más grande banda de rock de todos los tiempos. Después de un buen tiempo, finalmente se pudo ver el show que dieron. No está completo para disfrutar, pero hay un video que aquellos que sean amantes de la agrupación liderada por Dave Grohl y Led Zeppelin amarán. Es un cover de "Rock and Roll" . Los premios que transmitió el fin de semana la CBS [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Getty | Getty There are a number of ways musicians can also become great showmen. People like Madonna use costume changes, elaborate stages and a legion of dancers, a band like Gwar sprays fake blood and goo across the audience while fighting animatronic monster things, and Bruce Springsteen does it by playing actual songs [...]
El pasado 2 de diciembre se realizó en EEUU la entrega de premios Kennedy Center Honors , en el cual Led Zeppelin fueron homenajeados por el presidente Barak Obama . En la ceremonia Foo Fighters realizó una performance donde tocaron Rock N’ Roll , el clásico tema de Robert Plant , Jimmy Page , John Paul Jones y John Bonham . [...]
Llevas años, o tal vez meses si tienes mucha suerte, trabajando en tu sonido, en tus canciones, en la banda que quién sabe cómo pudiste formar o llegar a formar parte. Finalmente, los planetas se alinean y logras entrar en los charts , vendes discos y estadios. Pero no estás contento . Y es que ese tema que te colocó en el candelero no es tu mejor melodía, o era sólo un tema de relleno, o simplemente ya te hartaste de tocarlo cada noche por más de un año, porque tu audiencia no estará feliz hasta que no [...]
Filed under: News , Video Kris Connor, Getty Images The prestigious 35th-annual Kennedy Center Honors aired Dec. 26 on national television, highlighting the awesomeness of rock gods Led Zeppelin . The program, which was taped Dec. 2, also honored bluesman Buddy Guy and featured performances from Lenny Kravitz and Heart. "These guys redefined the rock-and-roll lifestyle," President Obama told the crowd of celebrities and diplomats. "We do not [...]
A principios de este mes de diciembre se llevó a cabo la ceremonia donde se honró a Led Zeppelin como la mejor banda de la historia durante los Premios Honoríficos Anuales Kennedy , uno de los honores más importantes que otorga el gobierno de Estados Unidos . Además de la presencia del presidente Obama y de algunas lágrimas de los miembros de Led Zeppelin , también sobresalió el cover que hizo Foo Fighters a "Rock and Roll" con Dave Grohl en la batería, [...]
Last night I watched The Kennedy Center Honors and Led Zeppelin was one of the honorees. This song brought down the house. Ann and Nancy Wilson sang the song backed by a gospel choir and with the late John Bonham's son, Jason Bonham, on drums. My favorite scene from the audience during this song was Yo Yo Ma's head bopping with the music. [...]
Penso che sia sempre tutta una questione di tensione, di tira e molla, di assestare i colpi giusti in modo regolare ma deciso.. e sulla tensione, sul tira e molla i Led Zeppelin, i primi Led Zeppelin, ci hanno costruito una carriera. Generalizzo a pacchi ovviamente ma in questo momento mentre ascolto questo live del '72 a Tokyo la penso così. Prima di loro i The Who erano maestri in questo. Chè poi buona parte della produzione migliore del thrash classico è basato sullo stesso concetto. Ho sempre pensato che l'immagine migliore per descrivere i colpi assestati all'unisono da Bonham [...]
Het was groot nieuws dat er voor het eerst in bijna een decennium nieuw werk van Led Zeppelin zou verschijnen. Eigenlijk was dat al verwacht sinds het concert daadwerkelijk plaatsvond, in 2007. Het was een eenmalig concert om Ahmet Ertegun...
Top 9 songs I listened to on Itunes this year. (Fuck 10? What makes 10 so special?) 9. Billie Holiday - "These Foolish Things" If I could die and be buried in a song, it would be this one. Therefore, perhaps rather morbidly, I guess I listened to it pretty much every day on the bus. 8. Antony and Bryce Dessner - "I Was Young When I Left Home" It’s raining outside. Find a mud [...]
Me alegra muchísimo escribir notas como estas. Led Zeppelin vuelve a ser noticia por editar su discografía en formato digital en Internet. Hace ya algunos años que se encuentra entre el excelente catálogo de iTunes, pero hace unas hora se anunciaba la publicación de la discografía masterizada para la tienda de Apple . Se trata de un pequeño regalo navideño que precede a la publicación, el año que viene, del catálogo completo en forma remasterizada y remezclada , algo en lo que [...]
THE END OF THE WORLD Led Zeppelin have threatened to make more music. It should not be allowed. That is all. BOOTLEG
I love watching great performances or well-made documentaries featuring my favorite artists from the comfort of my couch. At the end of each year since we started Hidden Track in 2006, I devote a B List towards what I can consider the best music DVDs/Blu-Rays of the year. 2011 was such a good year for concert films that I expanded the list from its usual 10 to 15. Can't say the same about this year's batch, so I cut it back down to 10. However, those that made the cut are all worthy of your time. [...]
Pues ya estamos a nada de épocas de Navidad, amor y cosas que vienen en diciembre, pero algo que llega con ello es el frío y maldito frío se deja venir con todo. ¿Qué hacer en caso de tener frío, no tener dinero para un café o un calentador y tienes un ipod o computadora a la mano y casa sola con novia?
CBS's Sunday Morning has profiled many rockers over the years and has gained a reputation for smartly-produced compelling features thanks in part to their pieces on Levon Helm , Wilco and Tom Petty . Yesterday, the program aired a fantastic profile of Led Zeppelin that contains interviews with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, both separately and together. Segment host Anthony Mason digs deep into the band's history and brings us up to their 2007 reunion concert that was the focus of [...]
