How's it going "Stargroves Tangie?" I can help you out with this one. "Albatross" was one of PETER GREEN'S FLEETWOOD MAC'S first hit songs. It was released as a single as was "Black Magic Woman" from "THE PIOUS BIRD OF GOOD OMEN" album released in 1969. Peter Green was the only guitarist on "Black Magic Woman." Peter Green and Danny Kirwan were the only guitarists minus Jeremy Spencer on the song "Albatross." I hope this helps, ROCK ON!
'albatross' is also a song that was in rotation around the studio whilst the beatles made abbey road. i'll leave it to ZFF to tell you what song it influenced on that album, as he knows his beatles, yes he does...

Thanks Beat!
I'm kind of a journeyman graphic guy myself. I've been knocking around in the visual business for 25 years. Before that it was just a hobby.
Here's my business website: www.bukworx.com
Here's some more "creative" stuff, mostly really old drawings:

God willing, if ever I get the skills/time/money I've got an animated short film in me.
i'm using your doubleneck as my background. great work!

after putting together the dvd that was released and working with footage of the band throughout their entire career, how do you think the concert footage from 'tsrts' rates in comparison-and if you were able to go back in time and film the band on any tour or year, which incarnation of the band would you choose?
editted to add: thanks, sam!

Here's an old one I'm trying to revive. It's slow going. I don't paint much any more.
It's fun AND frustrating at the same time.
you've really caught him! i'm very impressed-with the draughtsmanship and with the use of color. i would love to see other examples of your work, buk...

It's a joke, yeah, but I still think that some elitists would prefer something like Gerogerigege to The Beat Alls.
Didn't finish my sentence, lol. I meant to say that they would prefer said shit over the latter, but it's insane, because even though it's a matter of opinion, I scratch my head when they say the Beatles are unlistenable when they listen to harsh noise.
i'm glad you cleared that up.

The Velvet Underground are only overrated by hipster snobs
Like myself....except I don't have anything against The Beatles.
good one!
on a semi-serious note, a good indication of an overated band would be a career spanning box set with only four good songs on it....
....hey, the velvets qualify!
-
Still hold the title for most overrated band ever. They're no where NEAR as good as Throbbing Gristle.
beatles overrated? this is only said by musical snob elitists that want to sound hip.
what are you, a blue meanie?
i do like throbbing gristle, though. great choices in graphic illustration. so-so music. they are right up there with hawkwind and the exploding plastic inevitable, although i give the musical ability vote to hawkwind by a country mile. (an expression we use in pepperland)
the beatles still manage to affect peoples minds. i spit out gristle at dinner.
where's the beef?
if we are taking nominations for most overrated band, i would throw in the verve, velvet underground, and oasis.
notice i left out throbbing gristle. they're not even rated.

Inspired by Otto and Puck, I went rummaging through all the old photos I could find at my mum and dad's house today, and found this - me in 1975 or maybe '76, wearing my first Zeppelin t shirt! The photo was taken whilst we were on holiday in the New Forest.
I got contact lenses shortly after this photo was taken - thank God!
that is the most awesome picture!

Nice to see you, beatbo --so did the beard grow real quick, or did you take the second one first? (I like it, btw!)
second first...before summer. as much as i hate to shave, beards are unbearable for me in the summertime.
thank you!

two recent...
me, the other day on top of the building i'm finishing..
me, trying to figure out how to take a picture and still see my eyes:

Me too, but of course they were busy touring a lot of the time and didn't have very many opportunities. What I've always wondered about is why
(1) Jimmy didn't see Hendrix in England in 1966, because the latter very quickly became the talk of the town amongst musicians, including people Jimmy knew at the time;
(2) Jimi didn't go see The Yardbirds after Jimmy joined the band, because, second only to Cream, they were THE experimental band to see in England at the time.
But an examination of the facts goes some way towards explaining why this was, although there still seem to have been missed opportunities, especially in December 1966. Jimmy Page first played a gig with The Yardbirds on July 21, 1966. Hendrix only arrived in London on September 24, 1966, and started jamming there right away; The Experience's first gig was in France, on October 13, and their first concert in England was on October 25. But by then, in late October that is, The Yardbirds had already departed for an American tour which went on until late November; at the same time Hendrix was playing in Germany and England.
And a quick glance at their respective tour schedules reveals that the opportunities actually weren't that many. I still haven't made a thorough comparison of them though.
stevea.jones has. he posted the possibilities earlier...

excellent post, alucard!
sonic youth art is awesome-i'll have to keep my eye out for some as i shop.
as for the music, well:
i'm a fan of 'ghost bitch', 'drunken butterfly', etc
concert art=NOTDEAD!

i have some:

I knew Page was in the same room with Hendrix. Just wasn't sure if they spoke
GW: Speaking of Eddie Kramer, who worked closely with Jimi Hendrix: Did you
ever jam with Hendrix?
Page: No. And I never saw him play, either. This is a good story actually,
back in the late sixties, I went right from working with The Yardbirds,
to touring and recording with Zeppelin, and that kept me very busy. In
the first two years of any band, you just work solidly; if you're going
to make an impression that's what you have to do. We were no different.
In fact, we probably worked for three years straight. Anyway, every time
I came back from tour and Hendrix was playing somewhere, I would always
say to my self, "Oh I'm just so exhausted, ill see him next time".
I just put it off and of course, there ultimately never was a next time.
I'm really, really upset with myself for never seeing him. I really
wanted to hear him.
Now, did I ever meet him? I did actually go into a club in New York
called Salvation, and he was there, but he was totally out of it. He
didn't really know who anybody was -- he was barely conscious. Somebody
was just kind of holding him up. It is just kind of a shame that I never
really had a chance to talk with him or hear him... I heard his records,
naturally, but it would've been a thrill to see how he worked things out
on stage. That's quite another ballgame, as you know.
good one! i have this interview, too.
must have filed it in my brain as "same room-didn't meet".
so, what was your question again?
-
You're mistaken. Some of the Hendrix literature just seems to assume that Pagey went to see him, but he never did. They never met, and Jimmy has repeatedly said so in interviews.
i'm pretty sure that is the case.
-
Page said he met Jimi Hendrix once but never jammed with him. When and where did he meet him and for what purpose other than just to meet him?
where did he say that?
-
luke the duke knows the score on this one....maybe he will drop by.
oh, luke!

Oh yes, the incident at Scafell Pike:
