  1. Alice Cooper rocked Monday, June 10th

    I saw Alice in Dallas June 10th and he rocked! Alice was in Good form. smokin.gif

    Catch this short tour if you can.

    Alice's show this time is mostly rock, and some theater. I like it that way.
    My only disapointments were: no "Desperado" and no "Halo Of Flies".

    Note on the sound mix: The bass drums were way too loud, even some distortion at times. I really don't mind chair vibrating bass .. IF it does not overpower (even slightly) the guitar and vocals, as they should be on top of whatever the bass drum is doing.
  2. It is very close tie for me who My favorite Heavy Metal band is. Judas Priest or Iron Maiden. I know that Priest were a great working band before Iron Maiden had yet to be formed. Hell, Judas Priest even supported Led Zeppelin back in 1977 in San Francisco when Led Zeppelin were playing, what would become, their final United States performances. So, Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest have some "history" together.

    As for this new dvd coming out by Judas Priest, They left off two of the greatest Priest tracks of all-time (in my opinion):

    "Screaming for Vengeance":

    and:

    This Press Release may help to explain why SFV was left out, although I would have included it and FB instead of some others in the set, but they were trying take at least one from each album....

    Could be a good workout for the Home Theater System :bubble:

    In May 2012, Judas Priest wrapped up their epic "Epitaph" world tour with a storming set at London's Hammersmith Apollo. The band, having announced that this would be their final large-scale world tour, celebrated their last and possibly final show with an incredible career-spanning set list that brought down the house. In addition to performing all their classics "Breaking The Law," "Living After Midnight" and "You ve Got Another Thing Comin'" the Priest dug deep into their catalog, performing at least one song from each of their albums, which rounded off their 23-song set list.

    Now, one year later, this legendary set will be released on DVD, BluRay and digital long form video by Legacy Recordings (US). The Epitaph captures Priest's electrifying over the top metal onslaught and is proof they are still at the top of their game after 40 years of headbanging. 140 minutes

    The Band talks about the Hammersmith Concert:

  4. Are you sure this is from 1969? In the film I've seen from that year, he looks more baby-faced.

    Not absolutely sure, but I believe the photo is the one used in the full page photo that was included in the original Superhype Led Zeppelin II songbook.

  5. there actually are some facebook pages for Robert's hair. not just hair but there was one specifically for the stomach hair also. and some facebook pages for the bulge . i'm not on facebook so haven't really checked them out but the links sometimes turn up when i'm looking for info and pics on the band or robert.

    On the old Zeppelin site, there used to be thread titled "Robert's nipples" if I am remebering that correctly. B)

  7. Too cloudy here tonight to see anything.

    It should be clearing some toward sunset tonight.

    And, Monday night's forecast is Clear.

  8. i saw the space station last night!

    it was amazing. at first it looked just like a star, then i began to realise it was moving, and it went straight over our house. :)

    I'd love to see the Space Station fly overhead.

    When and where do I look for it on any given clear night ???
