I've been listening to Queen On Fire: Live at the Bowl and I am in awe of Brian May's guitar playing. He is an absolute master of the instrument. It may be different in the UK and the rest of Europe since Queen was (is) more popular there, but he rarely gets talked about here in North America...

Beware...listening to Zeppelin or the Clash may get you arrested. What's this crazy world coming to? http://www.cmj.com/articles/display_article.php?id=11047244 This commentary on the incident cracked me up... . The Immigrant Song lyric is threatening, given its status as a terrorist...

According to Rolling Stone, teens are fuelling a Zeppelin/Floyd/Queen classic rock revival. It's nice to see that these rock legends are still relevant. Zep rules! http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/9257498/teens_save_classic_rock

Is "Angel of Harlem" and "MLK" played live in concert on the R & H video? Or are they the studio versions of the songs (like Hearland). Just curious, Thanks, LN

According to a PlanetRock survey, it's Led Zep. All four members were voted number one in compiling the ultimate supergroup. Not bad for a band that disbanded 25 years ago. Any differing opinions (Bono would be my number two, Edge in my Top Ten). Cheers...

I don't pretend to be a drummer myself, but here are my Top 5.... 1. Neil Peart, Rush 2. Jon Bonham, Zeppelin 3. Keith Moon, the Who 4. Lars Ulrich, Metallica 5. Larry Mullen, U2 Even if you are a Rush hater, this guy is mesmorisng to listen to. Larry may not be the greatest...

I always liked a couple of their better-known songs, but last summer I picked up Nothin's Shocking for $2 at a Garage Sale (a Canadian Twoonie). It was the best value I ever got for my buck on a C.D. Were those guys ever intense! Agressive punk attitude with Zep style solos over meaningful...

Like musical trends past, it's day of reckoning will come. It may be next year, it may be five years from now (hopefully sooner than later), but for one will be delighted when it does. The only question that remains is...will it be a resurgent rock music that will fill the void, or...

There are some songs that reflect a band in a nutshell. Stairway to Heaven certainly did that for Led Zep. It was acoustic, electric, soft and hard, mystical and bombastic, bluesy and hard-rocking all at the same time. It was arguably Jimmy Page's greatest solo, and Robert Plant's voice...

HTDAAB shot up fourteen places from# 34 to # 20 on Billboard this week. It looks like the Grammies may have helped to renew interest in the album. A successful tour won't hurt the album either. Who thinks HTDAAB will make it back into the Top 10?

It took only 35 years for Zeppelin to get recognized at the Grammy's, and all Plant could do was send a video message (and he used it to promote his new album of all places). Jimmy Page appeared to be genuinely excited about finally getting some official recognition, and Jon Paul Jones and John...

Today as I was listening to live U2 from 1983, I was just amazed at the sounds that Edge can crank from that guitar. It made me think of the guitarists that have traditionally been considered the guitar "gods"...Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Angus Young, David Gilmour...

There's no doubt that HTTAAB has done well in the U.S. The album has been certified triple platinum and it went to #1, ATYCLB sold 4 million in the US which is respectable in today's music climate. Yet as I looked at the charts, only 7 weeks from release, I see it's dropped from 13 out of...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4147831.stm It only took 35 years for the world's greatest and perhaps most influential rock band ever (along with U2 of course) to get recognized at the Grammy's. (5 number one albums just wasn't enough...they didn't have any # 1 hit singles)...
