I didn't like them at first, but meanwhile I love that CD. It's awesome if you put it in you feel like you're in a garage with them playing it right in front of you. My favourite song has to be Shadow Of Your Love. Awesome track.

We definitely need one. I couldnm't participate in the Silkworms one because I didn't find the time. But anyway. What song would be the best?

I know it's got nothing to do with GN'R, but I'd like to cover Rihanna's "Umbrella".

I think music lost some kind of relevance these days. People might still be listening to music, but it's not the same anymore. Nowadays you listen to an mp3 for a while and when the artist disappeared from the surface you don't listen to that song anymore and go on and download the next one, because that one is now en vogue. You don't have to spend your money anymore, you can have every album in the whole world for free. People just don't care about their music and bands, because they didn't pay a dime for their music, that's why the music and bands don't have that much influence anymore. Nowadays new bands that aren't 0815 don't have any chance. Look at Justin Timberlake or whatever. It doesn't matter if he releases good music, his music will become popular because it's Justin Timberlake, not because he's making good music (which he isn't). It's not about being good anymore, it's about having a certain name and that's what is ruining the music business.

I still buy my music and I own about 200 CD's, probably more than 200. It's just more pleasure to listen to music if you own the actual album.

I'm not talking about downloaded albums, I talk about the actual album.

It's awesome, nice songs. Though I'm not sure if I like the new singer better. Make or Break is still my favourite song.

Btw, Atomica is on position 95 on my last.fm account.

These are the upcoming concerts I'm thinking about at the moment. I have tickets for Megadeth and HIM. Not sure with the others, yet.

Stop complaning about downloading. Take a look at Norway. In Norway we download more music then anywhere else, even though we are the country in the world

who buys more music then anyone else.

People who download, usually buy more then those who don't.

No, they don't.

Really awesome bandname.

I have Stealth Plug. Even Richard Fortus makes advertisement for it. I think it's quite good, though in a few occasions it had some issues with the performance so the song skipped. Most of time it's good though.

The you know where you are part of WTTJ from live era.

Mayhem

What was that like? I'm thinking of seeing them in February.

I think I wrote wrong. :xmassrudolph: It was Marduk.

Anyways, here's some others I came to think about: Thin Lizzy (I know, not the real ), Crashdïet, Dark Tranquillity, Skid Row, UDO, REO Speedwagon and White Lion.

You seen UDO?

I saw them, too. Didn't like them at all, one of the worst performances I've ever seen. The other people seemed to like his performance, though.

I've seen these:

Some comments from nme:

'Good Times Bad Times'

"The set started with a clip from 'The Song Remains The Same' DVD with an American news clip telling of they broke The Beatles' attendance record for a gig in 1973 in California. Simple stage set, video screen behind the band."

'Ramble On'

"'Ramble On' done in extremely slow, bluesy manner, with shards of electric guitar from Jimmy Page."

'Black Dog'

"Page wearing dark shades, quite muddy sound. Crowd singing the 'ah-ah' bits back at Plant."

'In My Time Of Dying'

"Page is playing bottleneck guitar. Plant spoke for the first time before song, saying 'Good evening'."

'For Your Life'

"That's not something you get to hear often these days, Led Zeppelin giving a song its live debut."

'Trampled Under Foot'

"Before starting Plant told the crowd it was the band's attempt to sound like Robert Johnson's 'Terraplane Blues'."

'Nobody's Fault But Mine'

"There are huge screen's dominating the O2 Arena, they split into four sometimes, goes monochrome, colour etc...quite spectacular."

'No Quarter'

"Following the song Plant paid tribute to John Paul Jones, who played keyboards and bass on the track."

'Since I've Been Loving You'

"A bit of a style guide for you, all the band are dressed in black bar Page's who is rocking a white shirt. As for the song they gone for the epic version....very bluesy."

'Dazed And Confused'

"Settle yourselves in, we're expecting a ten minute version of this classic... it was. At the end of it of the song Plant told the audience 'On guitar Jimmy Page, just as he did on the 'Song Remains The Same' DVD."

'Stairway To Heaven'

"What do you think? From the moment those opening notes rang out the whole audience went absolutely crazy. The atmosphere is electric."

From Royal Orleans -

‘Baby’ Led Zeppelin fan pays £83,000 to see gig

IT’S a whole lotta money. A young man not even born when Led Zeppelin split up has paid a record £83,000 to see their reunion concert in London tomorrow night.

The pair of tickets cost Kenneth Donnell, 25, more than his family paid for their red-brick home in Johnstone, near Glasgow, a few years ago, blowing savings dedicated to buying an Audi R8 sports car.

Donnell says he has no regrets ? yet ? about the size of his bid at a BBC Children in Need charity auction made after he and 20m other fans failed to get a standard £125 ticket. He said he had wanted to see his father’s favourite band for years.

“I was gutted that I was not born in the 1960s and able to see Led Zeppelin in the 1970s like my dad,” he said, adding that he was sober when he joined the auction hosted by Terry Wogan.

The odd couple

He refused to say where the money came from but added: “I am not loaded, but at least it’s going on charity to help other people, which is a lot better than the likes of me spending it on a car and just getting the enjoyment for myself.”

The BBC said it had received his payment.

Despite strict antitouting measures that mean the lucky 18,000 fans have to turn up with photo ID before they can get their arena, websites such as eBay are still offering themtickets at the O2 for sale. A complex system of checks will also be carried out on the day.

Led Zeppelin, one of the most influential British rock bands of the 1970s, merged blues and folk music into an arena-filling roar. They refused to release singles but their song Whole Lotta Love was used as the theme tune for the Top of the Pops chart show. The band broke up in 1980 because of the death of their drummer, John Bonham. Tomorrow night he will be replaced by his son Jason, 41.

Since the break-up they have been rediscovered by younger musicians, although the singer Robert Plant, now 59, has mocked the imitators who have tried to copy their sound. Last week the guitarist Jimmy Page, 63, whose broken finger delayed the concert for two weeks, admitted that he had butterflies about the concert. “During rehearsals [in a studio near Windsor] it was a bit nervy, I didn’t want to be the one who couldn’t cut it, but now it feels terrific,” he said.

There is pressure on the band to follow up with a tour, especially in North America, with observers saying Led Zeppelin could earn £150m. However, Plant admitted he resented the “conveyor belt of expectations” about a comeback tour. “If people don’t talk about a tour, anything is possible,” he said. “The more people talk, the more pressure it puts on everyone, the less likely it will happen. We shall see how we all feel after London.”
