New stuff is interesting and thoughtful to me, though my husband is the long-time fan. He tries to spoon-feed me their music and I must say, so far, so good

Those Megadeth lyrics to Lying In State seem so appropriate today. Mustaine now a committed Christian has written and is still writing some pre found lyrics. I'm watching a complete concert from last week for their new Dystopia album which gotten some great reviews.

g, I have a feeling that'll be appropriate for the next several months.
I fucking love Mustaine!
Taking a long weekend and listening to the music my husband would typically roll his eyes at me for.
Currently blasting the scene from (the film) Hair - Let the Sunshine In.
ABBA's Waterloo might be up next.
Anyone here rolls their eyes at me for that, I'll cut ya
Lol, I won't roll my eyes I'll just look away, look away. A couple days ago I was listening to Billy Idol albums and I thought if my friends saw me they would disown me. However, I love to hear the songs Sweet Sixteen, Eyes Without A Face etc. was he ever a MTV staple back in the day.

g! Just discovered this, thought you might dig it (not sure if you're a fan of QOTSA but oh so talented and Homme has a similar timbre of voice as Idol). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGtXtzOHroA
kce, very nice - and it's so good to see you here again! I hope your life is keeping you in a happy state
And to my Zep-loving friend(s), the Wilson sisters covering Stairway to Heaven = such pureness. Especially seeing Page's & Plant's faces. Got a bit teary along with them.
Led Zeppelin are the gods of rock- they're on a different plateau than every other band even though I rarely listen to them any more.
Selfishly, I wish they'd grab Bonham's kid and do a 'last tour'. But the fact that they haven't speaks to their rock godliness: no plug and plays... no next man up (even though it's kind of a no-brainer). They played hard. They lost a man. They went home. The gig was up.
And I do know there are personality issues at work here aside from honouring the band mate.
* Billy Idol cussed out Led Zeppelin and because he did... I think he sucks (I've never been able to forgive him for that). Elvis Costello did the same thing- and, despite having some really good cuts, he'll never receive air play through my speakers.

The Ramones did as well, I saw an interview when I was in 8th grade, ____ Ramone said something like "I have never listened to Led Zeppelin but I know I don't like them" and I never gave the Ramones a chance after that lol
Zep is on another plane altogether, you are right about that. The truest rock gods there ever were!

Lol.
Second thing we've ever agreed upon!
(Ramones... delete delete delete from music library).
I love the Ramones. I love Led Zeppelin. It makes absolutely no difference to me what either thinks of the other. All music stands on its. But, hey, it's the lounge. Cheers, friends. Spin whatever makes you feel good this morning.
My back is out so bad I can hardly walk this morning and I have to work anyway but, damn, I feel GOOD in my soul this morning!

Thank you that was real nice Hedo I don't know much about QOTSA but I do like that deep bass voice that lead singer has similar to Billy Idol.

The PNE in Vancouver, back in 1988 or 1989, was out of control. The people in the stands had rushed the floor. The chairs were crushed and the floor mob swayed- lifting people and moving them what seemed like 10 feet East or West depending on which way the crowd form was moving.
It was mid-summer. Unbelievably hot. Plant was killing it. Threw in Misty Mountain Hop at one point.
The encore break saw the place become frenzied. I've never been to a show so violently intense.
Plant came out... the place felt like it was going to implode... and then the first notes of Big Log were played and the crowd instantly mellowed to the extreme opposite of what it was.
I've never seen a song have such impact or a performer influence a crowd like I did that day. Nobody's come close. If we're ever together talking about live shows... I'll bring this up. There's a great story best shared over a beer that I'm not going to bother trying to place in written language- my favourite concert story of all time for sure.

Sort of appropriate for now too?

Posted this one before (though missing Bonzo & JPJ) but just beautiful. Brings me calm and smiles.
Cheers to you and your rolling rock
is absolutely a perfect album. i've listened to it for weeks at a time. it is meditative.

White Wedding!
Told my husband of the musical binging and he indeed rolled his eyes
Music is like food, I guess. Cravings run the gamut.
Although, JPJ gets no love in this video.
This came up here tonight...

And goddamn the back thing, B. Glad you're soul-smiling though!
OK, since Zep has the floor this morning, give us something good here to rock out too!
