Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You



This is mine and Stones biggest and largest favorite group.
Led Zeppelin...This tune has a large portion of energy and emotions in it.

The video is from 1969
I was born and young, rock hasent really got to me yet.
Led just become stars, they formed the year b4.
The album "Led Zeppelin" was released on the same year, and this tune is #2
They almost always only had 4 or 5 tunes on one side, long and groovy tunes :)
This tune on the vinyl is about 6:41, thats what I call a song!!!



Page said that the album took about 36 hours of studio time to create (including mixing), and stated that he knows this because of the amount charged on the studio bill. Peter Grant claimed the album cost £1,750 to produce (including artwork).
By 1975, the album had grossed $7,000,000. Led Zeppelin met an interesting protest when Countess Eva von Zeppelin (granddaughter of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the creator of the Zeppelin airships) objected to the band's use of her family name and attempted to stop a March 1969 television appearance in Copenhagen. When the band returned to Copenhagen for a concert in February 1970, they were billed as "The Nobs" as the result of a threat of legal action from von Zeppelin.
She is reported to have said: "They may be world famous, but a couple of shrieking monkeys are not going to use a privileged family name without permission."



Put it on, loud volume and Close your eyes...

Peace, Thetania

Accept - Fast As A Shark

Accept visit Sweden for a club gig at Debaser Slussen yesterday.

It was a great evening, bumped into some nice friends like Biffen, Roger Nibeland, Tord Karlsson among few others for a beer and some great sunlight and a Accept Show. This was a real musical evening as many of the visitors was musicians or technicians, guys like Mikael Åkerfeldt & Fredrik Åkesson from Opeth, JB, Fox & Seb from Grand Magus & Pontus Norgren from Hammerfall was there so i guess these guys had grown up with Accept.

So what about the gig, well my expirations was not high at all, was more looking for chill evening with the guys, you know, take a beer and some chit chat. But hell, this was a blast. Mark Tornillo, this little guy has some voice resources and yes there is only one UDO, but Mark is doing a great job singing the classic tunes and he brings his own unique style to it. Even the new tunes sounds cool. The rest of the guys seams to have allot of fun and its nice to see that Stefan is in a great shape and doing a hell of a job behind his drums, Peter is rocking like never before and Wolf is kidding around as always. The only thing i notice that Herman is not given much space but i guess he is pleased with that position in the band. The gig in total was superb, the setlist was fat and contained 26 songs, so they rocked for approx 2½ hrs, see the setlist below. It's so nice to see that the band is back again and i wish the all the luck on the rest of the tour, if lucky we might be able to see them open up for AC/DC this summer.

Many stories was told this evening, witch i enjoyed alot. My friend Roger who has been the tech for Stefan Schwarzmann in the early days had a nice meet with him, got a real hugging party. After the show it was a meet and greet with the band so i took my chance to say hey to the guys.

Got some photos but haven't got time to process them yet, so some other time.

Todays tune "Fast as a Shark" is taken from Accepts setlist last night. This is Accepts fastest tune its very speedy and thrashy metal. The intro to the track is a snippet from a crackly old children's recording of a traditional German tune titled "Ein Heller und ein Batzen" (A Farthing and a Penny). The band thought it would make a humorous contrast with their heavy metal sound, and the fact that a young Dieter Dierks (in whose studio the album was recorded) was singing on the recording made it even more of an inside joke. The band soon found themselves in an unintended controversy, however: even though the song dated from 1830, it was a popular marching song during the Nazi era and still held that connotation for many listeners, a fact the band was unaware of at the time. "So out of a funny little idea we created somewhat of a monster," Wolf Hoffmann recalls. Enjoy!

Here is a great early version of this tune.

Accept - Teutonic Terror


Blood of the Nations is the title of the upcoming Accept's twelfth studio album, that will be released on September 14, 2010. It will be the band's first studio recording in 14 years (since 1996's Predator) and the first album to feature Mark Tornillo and Stefan Schwarzmann. It will be the first album without Udo Dirkschneider on vocals since Eat the Heat in 1989. This is also the first album to feature guitarist Herman Frank in 26 years.



This evening these guys will perform at Debaser/Slussen here in Stockholm and guess were im going to be :). Have been google a little bit to see what the guys is going to perform and all i can say it will be a really fat set list.

Current Line-up
Wolf Hoffmann: Guitar
Peter Baltes: Bass
Herman Frank: Guitar
Mark Tornillo: Vocals
Stefan Schwarzmann: Drums

Todays tune "Teutonic Terror", is the new video from reformed heavy metal legends. And this is the most metal video i have seen with these guys so enjoy this!

The "story or theme" behind the video, the director said, "We had all of these cool ideas for stories about a post-apocalyptic world, hot girls in 'Mad Max' gear and cool visuals and the more we worked it the more we kept coming back to the basics... this is ACCEPT, not MÖTLEY CRÜE, there are people all over the world that have waited years to see this band again, and every second that we cut away to some story that is really just filler anyway, we are missing what is really important. People want to see Wolf Hoffmann shredding his flying V, they want to see new singer Mark Tornillo singing a new ACCEPT song, and they want to see the band ripping into the new track. So I said, 'Screw the story, get me some fire, get me some tanks and let's rock it.'"

Dio - The Last In Line

Ronnie James Dio sadly passed away yesterday, the little man with the biggest rock vocals of all time has left the earth. It's with enormous sadness i write these lines and its very hard to explain how i feel. The man who open my door to Rock was Ronnie James Dio, now he is gone :( but he left a huge musical treasure behind.


"Message from Wendy Dio

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever.

- Wendy Dio"

Todays tune "The Last in Line" is taken from the second studio album "The Last in Line", this is for you Ronnie.

A beautiful letter from Lars of Metallica


A Letter To Ronnie
5/16/2010


Dear Ronnie,
I just got off stage in Zagreb. I was met with the news that you've passed on. I'm kind of in shock, but I wanted you to know that you were one of the main reasons I made it onto that stage to begin with. When I first saw you in Elf, opening for Deep Purple in 1975, I was completely blown away by the power in your voice, your presence on stage, your confidence, and the ease with which you seemed to connect to 6000 Danish people and one starry-eyed 11 year old, most of whom were not familiar with Elf's music. The following year, I was so psyched when I heard the results of you joining forces with my favorite guitar player. You guys sounded so right for each other and I instantly became Rainbow's #1 fan in Denmark. In the fall of 1976, when you played your first show in Copenhagen, I was literally in the front row and the couple of times we made eye contact you made me feel like the most important person in the world. The news that you guys were staying in town on your day off somehow embedded itself in my brain and I made the pilgrimage to the Plaza Hotel to see if I could somehow grab a picture, an autograph, a moment, anything. A few hours later you came out and were so kind and caring... pictures, autographs and a couple minutes of casual banter. I was on top of the world, inspired and ready for anything. Rainbow came to Copenhagen a couple more times over the next few years and each time you guys blew my mind, and for a good three years were my absolute favorite band on this planet. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to run into you a half dozen times or so and each time you were as kind, caring and gracious as you were in 1976 outside the hotel. When we finally got a chance to play together in Austria in 2007, even though I may not have let on, I was literally transformed back to that little snot nosed kid who you met and inspired 31 years earlier and it was such a fucking honor and a dream come true to share a stage with you and the rest of the legends in Heaven and Hell. A couple of weeks ago when I heard that you were not going to be able to make it to the Sonisphere shows that we would be sharing this June, I wanted to call you and let you know that I was thinking of you and wish you well, but I kind of pussied out, thinking the last thing you needed in your recovery was feeling obligated to take a phone call from a Danish drummer/fan boy. I wish I'd made that call. We will miss you immensely on the dates, and we will be thinking of you with great admiration and affection during that run. It seemed so right to have you out on tour with the so-called “Big Four” since you obviously were one of the main reasons that the four bands even exist. Your ears will definitely be burning during those two weeks because all of us will be talking, reminiscing and sharing stories about how knowing you has made our lives that much better.

Ronnie, your voice impacted and empowered me, your music inspired and influenced me, and your kindness touched and moved me. Thank you.

Much love,

Lars

Whitesnake - Love Ain't No Stranger



How about an oldie?
Whitesnake!

Whitesnake are an English rock band, founded in 1977 by David Coverdale.
And he is a male godess in world of singing :)


At this time, the band was made up of David Coverdale, Bernie Marsden, Micky Moody, Neil Murray and drummer David "Duck" Dowle with keyboardist Brian Johnston. Johnston would soon be replaced by Procol Harum organ player and keyboardist Pete Solley. Because of Solley's producing commitments he was replaced by the former Deep Purple keyboard player Jon Lord, during sessions for the first LP.

Early releases and commercial success (1978–1983)
In the mid 1980s Whitesnake had moved away from the early blues influenced hard rock to a more commercial heavy metal style.


In December 2002 Coverdale reformed Whitesnake for Whitesnake's 25 year anniversary. Joining Coverdale for the 2003 tour were guitarists Doug Aldrich of Dio and Reb Beach of Winger, bass player Marco Mendoza, drummer Tommy Aldridge and keyboard player Timothy Drury. During 2003 they headlined the Rock Never Stops Tour with other popular rock bands.

In 2009 Whitesnake was playing a show at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado when front man David Coverdale suffered a vocal injury. After seeing a specialist, it was announced on August 12, 2009 that Coverdale is suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion. The remainder of their tour with Judas Priest has been cancelled.

2010, David Coverdale has announced his voice seems to have fully recovered from the trauma, that sidelined him and the band on the Priest tour. He states he's been recording new demos, aiming for a new Whitesnake album, and on tape his voice is sounding full and strong.

Current members are David Coverdale on lead vocals
Doug Aldrich on guitars
Reb Beach on guitars
Uriah Duffy on bass
Timothy Drury on keyboards
and Chris Frazier on drums.


Here we have a tune from their album "Slide it in" and this song is written by
Coverdale and Mel Galley.

Enjoy Folks!

Paco de Lucia , John McLaughlin , Al di Meola - Mediterrean sun danced



This is one of my youth favorites guitarists.
Mr Paco de Lucia, Mr John McLaughlin and Mr Al Di Meola.

Their way to handle the instrument is terrific
and thats an understatement.

Al Di Meola is an American jazz fusion and Latin jazz guitarist.
He is from New Yersey, US.
In addition to a prolific solo career, he has engaged in successful collaborations with bassist Stanley Clarke, keyboardist Jan Hammer, violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, and guitarists John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía.


Paco de Lucia is a Spanish composer and guitarist who plays mostly modern flamenco.
He comes from Algeciras, Spain. In 1958, at age 11, he made his first public appearance on Radio Algeciras, and a year later was awarded a special prize in the Jerez flamenco competition. Thats something huh!?


John McLaughlin comes from South Yorkshire, England.
Jazz fusion guitarist and composer.
He had a band called Mahavishnu Orchestra and performed a technically virtuosic and complex style of music that fused eclectic jazz and rock with Eastern and Indian influences.

Combine this and u will get this tune!

Enjoy folks!

Peace, Thetania
