This, also from TMZ.com: According to website TMZ.com, the cancellation has been blamed on guitarist Van Halen's poor performances, after he turned up for several gigs apparently intoxicated.

This is the Other Bands / Music section of the board meaning you can post about other bands here. As for Jagger being an "ugly fuck corporate poser". How soon we forget Zeppelin and Plant have allowed their songs to be used for corporate gain. The latest being that JC Penney commercial featuring Plant and Krauss' cover of Killin' the Blues.

Yeah, the Drams record definitely has much more in common with the studio stylings of latter day Beatles and Beach Boys than Slobberbone ever did. Live, they still do the old Slobberbone tunes which is nice. The Steve Earle/Supersuckers single is Creepy Jackaloupe Eye: It's also available on the Steve Earle rarities collection Sidetracks.

No problem. I'm a huge fan of Slobberbone and of Brent Best's current band The Drams (which features most of the same members but is an altogether different sound). Not sure if you're aware of it but the Truckers and Slobberbone used to tour quite frequently together back in the day. I'm not sure if it's still available but at one time there was a video online of the two bands peforming Neil Young's Cortez the Killer together onstage under the name "Slobber Truckers". I'm also a fan of Two Cow Garage but so far all I have is their first record. Not sure if you're aware of this either but Brent Best has served as the producer of their last couple of records. I haven't heard a lot of Supersuckers but I do have one of their songs on a tribute to Willie Nelson called Twisted Willie. They're also on a Steve Earle single I have as well as backing him on a song or two from his outstanding record El Corazon.

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...logID=363112243 "Lost and Found" is our fourth full length record. The release will be available as a FREE download for a limited time. We are getting together the last of the final master edits now. Should be another few days and then the album will be available. We will let you know this week when and where the release location is posted. Later in the year, we will release "Lost and Found" on vinyl and CD. During that time, we will also release a limited run with deluxe packaging and artwork created and printed by John Smith and the rest of the band. The CD and vinyl will be a co- release from SKYBUCKET RECORDS and the new in house Dexateens label, CORNELIUS CHAPEL RECORDS.

Joel was banned from the previous incarnation of this board as well. If he was banned again for the same thing, they were for less than savory reasons and it's all for the best.

Where am I always swearing at people in my posts? As for my avatar it isn't directed at anyone. I'm a Johnny Cash fan. It's a simple as that. Not a single one of the articles I've posted came from allmusic.com. It's also not like all I do is cut and paste articles, I also contribute to threads. You can't seem to stop bitching about everything and are constantly baiting fellow members in your posts. If the moderators thought the posting of articles was a problem they would have done something about it long ago. Checked the Zep related forums at all? Most of them are full of articles posted by Steve A. Jones. They are also full of articles contributed by Pagemiester and others. Perhaps you'd be better off changing your screen name to the much more appropriate "Jethro Troll" because that's exactly what you are, a "troll". You have absolutely nothing positive to contribute to this forum and have done nothing but been antagonistic to your fellow members since arriving here. If you don't like how things are here I suggest you either find another forum more to your liking or start your own.

If there's anyone here attempting to force their own rules on people, it's YOU. Show a little respect and put a lid on it already.

The fact of the matter is, there was already a thread for Deep Purple. Same as there was already a topic for Aerosmith and others. eagle87 obviously didn't take the time to Search for previous topics before starting a new one despite being very politely told about the Search feature and how it is considered courteous to other members not to have multiple threads on the same subject. I post articles here. So does Pagemeister, Steve A. Jones and a number of other members. Hell you just posted one the other day yourself. I have been a member of this board since 2003. If posting articles was a problem with the owner then it would have been brought to our attention a very long time ago. Not to mention, who are you to suggest what interests board members? Go to any board and you'll see plenty of concert and what's everybody listening to threads, it's not just something unique to this board. If those threads weren't popular then members wouldn't post to them but as you can see the what's everyone listening to threads are among the most popular on this board. Not to mention they give each of us an opportunity to share what we're listening to as a way of discovering new music. The creation of them doesn't have anything to do with anyone being an "egomanic" but your constant bitching and baiting of members certainly paints you as a "troll".

It's considered common courtesy on most boards to do a search first before starting new threads. Just sayin'....

There is no genre of music known as "Classic Rock". It's a name created by radio programmers to describe a format.

Zep sent me in search of blues records by Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and others myself but Skynyrd and other groups were also instrumental in that search. Years later the Honeydrippers EP would have a similar effect when I began sifting through my parents old Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles albums. To this day I still love those old early rock n' roll and rockabilly sides which led me to pick up two very excellent box sets on Rhino: Loud Fast and Out of Control: The Wild Sounds of 50s Rock and Rockin' Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly.

There's quite a few of those if you do a search at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Blues-Roots-Led-Zeppelin/dp/B00004Y333 I know there was a good one I saw in record stores years ago but someone bought it before I had a chance to.

It was announced from the beginning by XM that the Zep channel would only have a limited run.

If they're not going to release a new album before touring I'd almost rather see them break in new songs on the road than resort to covering Plant's solo material. I remember that chronological live box set set being mentioned in several interviews myself but even though they don't feature individual songs I thought they manifested themselves in the Led Zeppelin DVD and How the West Was Won releases.

I'm not sure of exact sales figures but I'm pretty sure Dylan's Modern Times (along with his other recent albums) and Springteen's recent outings have done pretty well not only saleswise but were also critically well received. That's not to say a new Zeppelin record would meet with the same fate, unless it were really, really good. Plant and Krauss managed to pull one out of the hat with Raising Sand so I see no reason why Zeppelin couldn't, though that's a hell of a reputation to have to live up to.

If you like some of those you might also like Drive-By Truckers, Ryan Adams, The Yayhoos, Tift Merritt and some of the other folks I mention here from time to time. I'm not into "modern country" myself but I do love me some Steve Earle and the other alt.country stuff commercial country radio refuses to play.

I've heard people refer to bands like Guns n' Roses and Metallica as "new" Led Zeppelins but I never it took it to mean soundwise, just in terms of popularity. Personally, I was never much of a fan of Metallica myself. In the 90s I did find myself getting into bands like Pearl Jam and the whole alt.country thing though. There were also a few bands that sorta slipped through the cracks like The Men, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Animal Bag, etc. that didn't fit into the whole grunge thing.

Who was it you couldn't get through a minute of?

I've never lost my interest in finding new music. I'm always in search of that album you just want to listen to over and over again. Same for attending live shows. Not every one includes one of those moments that lifts your feet off the ground but every once in a while there's still one of those nights. That's what makes it worth it and keeps me coming back for more.

Then try further narrowing your search by looking for one of their album titles, a band member, etc. I've had no trouble finding the previous threads for Aerosmith, Deep Purple, and the other threads eagle87 has created duplicate threads for. Granted it's not the best search feature I've ever seen on a messageboard but it does work. At least it does for me and evidently at least two other members who have also posted links to the original thread within this thread. Not to mention the previous thread for Deep Purple was already right there on page one of this forum so it's not like it was all that hard to find. Like I said, myself (as well as other posters, as evidenced in this thread) have also used the Search feature to see if certain topics have been posted about before. Speaking just for myself it didn't take me 5 hours to search through the results. More like a matter of minutes and sometimes mere seconds. Yes, it does leave a lot to be desired but it's really not all that difficult.
