  1. Through the door today came my latest vinyl haulage from eBay. Led Zeppelin I Led Zeppelin II Led Zeppelin III x2 (Complete with rotating artwork) Led Zepppelin IV Physical Graffiti All for £21 inc p&p
  2. The Ocean - How The West Was Won. Jimmy is very into his LZ bootlegs, that room full of records from It might get loud is mostly LZ boots!
  3. To be honest, I am disgusted by the way Ross has just praised Jimmy and slated Jason in the same blog entry.
  4. Update: From a gig 2 weeks ago. Me rocking the Them Crooked Vultures shirt from when I saw John Paul Jones and Co
  5. in HMV, things are either really cheap or really expensive. One week Led Zep II was £24! and the week after that it was £4. Pink Floyd's The Wall was £36, and this week it is £9. In that shop, you just have to cheap your eye on it and wait for it to go down. And in reponse to your question, yes there is, but it's fixed prices....sky high.
  6. I also spotted Page & Plant's No Quarter for £2, which now sits in my CD rack. Wasting My Time and Wanna Make Love are killer tracks!
  7. I bought Jimmy Page's only solo album to date yesterday at HMV for a cheap £6. I definatley do not think Rolling Stone was fair by giving it 2 stars, in my opinon, it deserves at least a 4. I was very drawn in by the riffs in the songs. My only criticism is that it sounds a little "demo" like, but it's still a good listen. What does everyone else make of it?
  8. I read an interview with Mick Wall about When Giants... and his answers were, "It's in the book". Personally, I choose not to read any Led Zep book until the band release one. Jimmy Page is in Mojo this month, and we all know about his new photoautobiography; but he also said about releasing a posthumous book, but I hope thats not for another 66 years
  9. Bron Yr Aur and Friends are C6 tuning. You can here the open A sounding, giving it that minor tonality. Poor Tom is Open C.
  10. Bron Yr Aur is not Open C tuning, Open C would be CGCGCE. There you have the root note, the 3rd and the perfect 5th. Bron Yr Aur is played in Open C6 which is CACGCE, here we have the root note, the 3rd, the perfect 5th and a major 6th. The song is in 4/4 time, so if you are having trouble finger picking, take it slow. Play the bass note with your thumb. E|------------------------| C|----------0-------------| G|-------0-----------0----| C|----0-----------0-------| A|-3----------------------| C|-------------0----------| p i m a p i m etc p - thumb i - index m - middle a - ring play through it slow and keep practising so that you build up stamina.

  11. The reason why the bass was so low and the trebles were so high was because the Marshall 1959SLPs were a very dark sounding amp. Having the exact same settings on a different amp will give you different results.
  12. My dad does antique restoration type stuff, and in Dec 2006 he was asked by Paul Reeves (Page's ex-costume designer) to do some stuff in his new house on the Thames. My dad took his 1976 copy of TSRTS to be signed, tis currently framed on my wall He was round there two days ago putting up a chandler, there is a room with shelves of every single Led Zeppelin bootleg...ever. There was a guy there sorting it out in chronological order! And my dad popped the question about the DVD and the reply was "No, not for a few years yet, besides you can watch the whole thing on the internet!"
