Don't get me wrong, I love many of the pics you all have been posting, but I'm going to have to finally confess that--
--I've always thought he looks a real prat in this one.
Sorry, ladies (and Jimmy)!
Is it the hair? I've always not liked this one because of that.

:lol:
It's the best thing to do, for sure!!!
It would be really entertaining.
Ok a picture (I found this is in the depths of my pictures folder
): -
Any chance you could start up a poems thread and keep this one for pictures?
Headmaster thread part 2????

You can't tell though. When i have taken pics of myself they usually look bad and you can tell i am taking them.

What's this from?

If you want to discuss Paul's solo years - I'd say his best albums IMO were with Wings.
Yeah, that stuff is great. But overall I'd say that Paul's career in The Beatles had less questionable moments than his solo one.

hello songbird, how did you know what size to make it? and what size was it, love it wish i could see it up close,it looks like alot of work went into it!
I didn't make it (sadly I haven't figured out how to go back in time and be born 30 years earlier yet), I just quoted from the link that Sam posted.

"I made Jimmy Page a jacket and took it to the Forum and gave it to the General Manager. I made a black jacket because he usually wore black. This year he switched to white. I attached a letter stating that I had tickets for the 6/23 show. The concert was fantastic and I really enjoyed the show. When they came out for the encore Jimmy Page had my black jacket on! He walked all around the stage and turned around to show off the back. I almost fainted and my group of friends went crazy, I was a celebrity in my group of friends. I will never forget that moment as long as I live. Just to think that he would do that was awesome. To this day when I tell people about it they are amazed also."
That is really cool!

I can't stop listening to "Quiet Please" by Galactic!

^ I agree with that. I just sometimes don't agree with their definition of 'talent.'

On the contrary, I think he looks better than the celebrities who desperately to look young with botox and surgery. :mellow: :mellow:

I've also heard that Government Mule is EXTREMELY loud. My friend said that when he went to see them, he was standing at the back with toilet paper stuffed in his ear and it was still just painfully loud!... I think he actually said he had to leave. And, those guys only play songs that are 25 minutes long each, so its not like you could get a break from the noise very often.

I always thought Deep Purple had the record for decibel level.
The Rolling Stones and Humble Pie also were UP THERE !!!!!!
Yeah I read that Deep Purple performed at 117 dB... and apparently My Bloody Valentine (I don't really know who they are, a recent My Chemical Romance type band I think?) just set some sort of record also.

The last few concerts I've attended,which I could count on five(four) fingers,I've shelled out the cash to obtain 12th row or better seats,third row being best.I always pack ear plugs just in case.
Maybe my ears are fried from yesteryear,but I have not needed the plugs.
It seems to me now, that the brunt of the volume thud increases further from the stage.
When I experienced Led Zeppelin in 1977,I was in an upper tier of the coloseum and in football terms,on the 35 yard line facing the stage.
And like ZepFanForever,my ears ring to this very day.
Damage from loud concerts is not something you necessarily notice right away... besides maybe temporary ringing in your ears once in awhile, or whatever. I'd say its good to wear earplugs at concerts when you know its loud, even if you don't feel like its uncomfortably loud. Its just that most of the time the damage occurs over a long period of time and before you really take notice, its too late.

How's it going "songbird?" The world's loudest concert was held in 1994 at 129 dB. I saw two LED ZEPPELIN shows, one at THE FORUM in L.A. on 23 June 1977 and the other at the OAKLAND COLISEUM one month later on 23 July 1977. After doing some research on my own, the concert at THE FORUM was between 90 and 95 dB. The OAKLAND show was between 95 and 100 dB. I'm not very sure about SIMON & GARFUNKEL but you can rest assure that their shows were under 80 dB. I know for fact that I'm losing a lot of my hearing after seeing hundreds of concerts throughout my lifetime. I hear a whistling tone all the time now. I hope that this helps. ROCK ON!
Thank you!! I actually ended up switching to The Who... they broke the record with 120 db in 1976. But 129, that is so fucking loud. Which concert was it? I also stumbled across a piece of info about the band Manowar playing at 126 db, but I didn't see anything about the 129 one.
Doing all this research about how music can damage your ears is scaring me.. I already have ringing in my ears sometimes and I'm only 18! I don't plan on stopping going to concerts though so (unless I get ear plugs) I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Sorry to hear about your hearing difficulty (tinnitus?), that must be really annoying. Thanks for your input.

Hi all you tech-geeks...
Does anyone here know approximately, in decibels, how loud Led Zeppelin concerts were? Or who could direct me to any web sources that would give me such info? I'm doing a psychology project on the loudness of concerts and how they can damage your ears, and I have to compare two bands, e.g. Led Zeppelin (LOUD!!) and Simon & Garfunkel (Not so much!). Its due tomorrow, so this is very last minute... I tried doing a search of the forum but the search function doesn't like me very much and keeps giving me error messages... anyway, any help would be MUCH appreciated!!

I agree Roxie....James it is....
If I was James I would be flattered to be likened to an icon like the Lion from The Wizard of Oz..

PS Jay Leno....you need to retire sooner rather than later.. Bring on Conan...HE'S GOT CLASS..until then I'll sleep rather than watch your show...
I like Leno! Although I'd take Letterman or Conan over him probably.
-
I can take Leno poking fun at Robert but Howard Stern is just a douche.
-
I ALso think Steve Walsh has one of the most soulful and powerful voices in rock music.
Agreed. Can't say I'm a huge fan of Kansas though. But do love Dust in the Wind and Carry On!

Was he making a serious attempt to wink? Oh Jimmy.
