    The Monkees Thread

    YES, there is a connection between The Monkees and Led Zeppelin, well Jimmy Page anyway.

    Sometime between Oct 24-26 1966 The Yardbirds recorded an appearance on the Milton Berle show. Afterward, they visited The Monkees on the set of their television program at either Columbia Studios or Screen Gems Studio 7 (name may have changed since then) in Hollywood.

    Zeppelin's "Starship" was originally The Monkees tour plane.

    Tonight on VH1 at 9pm Cental Time they are showing the Foo Fighters movie Back and Forth on their Rock Docs series. You can also see them on SNL tommorrow night, 4/9/11. I have listened to their new album a few times now this week and I like it. If you missed it, you can listen for free here:

    not for sure how long the link will work and you will be able to listen for free.

    That was a great rock/doc! I'm looking forward to their new album!

    Favorite Album Opener

    "Good Times Bad Times"

    This is a perfect opener! Though not my favorite but this song is just something special. I do believe that it blew everyone's mind back in 1969 by how powerful it was, and yes, it still is. :)

    That's what I was thinking, too!

    Seems like I heard or read something about this recently...Nesmith wants no part of it if I'm not mistaken. For that matter, has he ever taken part in any of these reunions?

    Papa Nez surprised them onstage in 1986 and joined them in "Listen to the Band" at their concert in Los Angeles.

    After the four of them did the TV movie in early 1997 that aired on ABC, he joined them on a UK tour and when there was talk of a US tour, he bailed.

    They are literally like family and have a real love/hate relationship like brothers, so when there is talk of in-fighting, none of the fans bother to be concerned about it, really.

    Monkees in talks for 2011 reunion

    By WENN.COM

    Singer Davy Jones has announced plans to reform The Monkees, just a year after ruling out a reunion with his bandmates.

    The group, who found fame in the 1960s, last performed together in 1997 but in an interview last year, Jones claimed a Monkees show would never happen again.

    He said, "It's not a case of dollars and cents. It's a case of satisfying yourself. I don't have anything to prove. The Monkees proved it for me."

    However, the singer appears to have had a change of heart. The band is considering a string of concerts in 2011.

    Jones says, "We're talking about doing a tour next year with The Monkees. There's talk about a show with dialogue."

    But the 64 year old is urging his bandmates to shape up before they hit the stage again: "My thing is I just don't want to get on stage with a bunch of old guys."

    I guess Davy's 30-something year old bride has "rejuvenated" him!! LOL!

    I've seen the Monkees 3 times in concert over the last 20+ years. All 3 concerts were great and everyone had so much fun.

    Remembering Buddy Holly -- The Day The Music Died

    I'm not afraid to say, I think it's a bunch of crap releasing "Basement Tapes" and "Apartment Tapes" and the like. Now what, we need to buy every single note the guy ever recorded. I guess the Estate of Buddy Holly thrives.

    As much as I love Buddy Holly, your post made me LOL, Jethro! I definitely see your point. :P

    It goes without saying that when an artist is dead; anything, and I mean anything, they did, sang, recorded, wrote, looked at, thought about, dreamt about....becomes something everyone is clamoring to get.
