SourceNRG Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Otto-- THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! for posting all these old magazine articles. I have had SOOOO much fun reading all these, and as Evster said, remembering reading some of them when they were first out!! However, what I do NOT remember was that JP was ever stalked by some lunatic out to kill him?!? thank goodness THAT was nipped in the bud!!

Aquamarine Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Many thanks for the excellent scans, Otto! It's like stepping into a time capsule--including the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks for posting this article, Otto! The best thing about Ledzeppelin.com is the knowledgeable members who post articles such as these. I appreciate it so much! Thank you to all. I love the interviews with Jimmy best of all. Hearing/reading his comments, in his own words, is fantastic. I liked his comments about the stolen $200,000. His attitude was: worse things can and did happen, so why worry about something so insignificant in life as a lost $200,000. That's why I love the guy so much!

timothy5151 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks for posting that Otto. It's great reading this now as I wasn't born yet. Growing up in a time where Poison, Warrant, White Lion, etc dominated the rock mags, I feel sad that I missed out on all this during Zep's day. Thanks to posts like yours I can get to enjoy the read now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Masson Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks for all your responses, friends! I will indeed post a few more. Ev, I only saw Creem much later - the bookstores here didn't even sell Creem in the late 1970's as far as I can remember. They did sell the British mags, including NME, which I sometimes bought back in the day, struggling to understand the English. I remember I sometimes also bought the German mags, Pop or Bravo, but found very little of interest in them... well, once I did get a great poster of Queen there, which actually did stay on the wall, while my two big Zeppelin posters kept falling down. By the early 1980's I was buying rock magazines in English much more often, and it had become easier to understand them. I was never very careful about this stuff, or my clippings from newspapers, etc. and have lost a lot of it. I decided to try and at least get some of the mags via the internet, and while I was at it, to also get a few things from the 1970's. I really like to have the originals, and I am very interested in the band's history, so it was a pretty natural thing to do. Helen, I find mags often just capture the spirit of the times in a way that you find nowhere else, which is one other reason why I love to have a few of them. These ads! "Hey, so there is a brand new album out by Mike Oldfield, called Tubular Bells. I have to check that one out." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
