  1. Sorry. I think Mick Jaggar's lips get in the way of his singing.

    No, that's mean. I just never really got into the Rolling Stones. Now they're just guys that tour in hopes of reliving the old days. It will never happen.

    NOooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!

    They aided in his singing !!!!!!! :D

    It was the skimpy outfits that made his voice high ! :rolleyes:

  2. I don't have a real job. Not old enough. I really want a vintage Volkswagon Bug. I have no idea how much it will cost me but that is like a dream car. Unless someone wants to hook me up with Janis's hippiemobile.

    :D

    First car I ever drove was a '66 Bug ! Our course it was the parents, but they let me drive it when we went to the beach in Hawaii. Surfboard on top away we went !!!! Everyone has Bugs in Hawaii in the early 70s....

    Well...

    I love Janis...Her performance at the Monterey Pop Fest in '67 just blew everyone away. In the movie they zoom in on Mama Cass a bunch during Janis's show and she's in mesmerized awe ! Really a great moment...

    The first summer I lived in Newport RI, she played the Folk Fest....I wasn't able to go...but we could hear it from our house ! The field was about 1/2 mile away ....Honesty, I don't remember HER set...but you couldn't escape the sound..it was pretty loud...I didn't know who she was then anyway...it was 1968.

    Here's a photo or three from that show....got the boot too !

    I only have her 'essential' collection and 3 bootlegs by her...but they're good ones ! :D

    Janis Joplin 7/27/68 Newport, RI...SDB 7.75-8.0

    Janis Joplin Tex.Pop Fest 8/30/69 SDB 8.75-9.0

    Janis Joplin 7/6/70 Honolulu SDB 8.5 from Vinyl

    I see you get photos from Wolfgang's Vault to Alicia.....it's a great site ehh ?

  3. Like her or not, Yoko is considered a huge influence on many, many performers. Just ask Diamanda Galas.

    That said, I've never been very tolerant of her banshee wail myself and once emptied a pizza place in Greenville, NC by playing Kiss, Kiss, Kiss on the jukebox non-stop back in the 80s when Double Fantasy first came out.

    I don't speak Greek.

    And that Kiss, Kiss, Kiss song would empty me of my pizza besides driving me out of the joint !!!

    Just watch the facial expression of the violinist in The Dirty Mac when Yoko opens her mouth. :rolleyes:

  4. I was just thinking it would be fun to post the first-ever picture I posted of myself on a Zeppelin forum:

    juneneuschwanstein054.jpg

    Me at Neuschwanstein in Germany, June 2003. :D

    Look at how young I look! :lol: (Geez...that was almost five years ago.)

    I remember that well !!!!!

    You probably never ran off the road cause you're headlights were on bright !!!!

    :D

  5. Anyone here that was old enough to buy "Double Fantasy" when it was released in the Fall of '80 ......How often did you listen to Yoko's side of the lp ? Critics poked fun of Linda McCartney's off key background vocals. Lennon gave Yoko Romo a whole frickin album side on his first solo album in 6 years so she could waste 20 minutes howling like an injured Mandarin dog !! :blink:

    McCartney 70's solo candy like "Let 'Em In" & "My Love",....it's crap. If you can compare that to anything by Zep, we better start talking about how much you enjoy Billy Joel, Elton John, etc.....because they wrote better stuff in the same vein in the same era.. Look at Harrison's 70's solo stuff. Sure I enjoy "All Things Must Pass"....but how about "Extra Texture" or "33 1/3"" ?

    Just fanning the Friday flames of a good thread. :rolleyes:

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Fucking great !!!!!

    ...and I'm an unashamed Beatle fanboy....

  6. Hey Jahfin, Joelmon (tangerine plant says hi)

    I'm a huge Beatles fan. My daughter also shares my love. She knows many of the words to her two favs: All My Loving and Eight Days a Week. Songs she asks me to play for her by name! I hope to influence her to play a musical instrument when shes around five. She likes many zep songs, too.

    Hi tangerine plant !! Long time, no see !!!

    You've made a nice subtle re-entry ! :lol: Beatle threads are always a nice place to come to reaquaint....and that's great about your daughter....startin' her off right with the early stuff...it's a bit more kid friendly. :)

    Hope you stick around....
