Fresh Garbage Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) And there's a little Skip James in Robert Johnson. Not even he was above a little "borrowing". And there is also a whole lotta Gary Johnson in Robert Johnson!....yes it is true, his older cousin was the original one who spoke of meeting the Devil at the crossroads, and selling him his soul... and lets not forget the greatest of them all LeadBelly. without him there would be no Elvis/Dylan and even Zeppelin for that matter .LeadBelly was the real King!.... a true songster.

Cecil. Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello Cecil, Swandown may be able to nail this one a bit better as far as the specifics but basically it is the name of someone who was involved in the manufacturing of the album on vinyl. Many Thanks.......Cecil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Garbage Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Bill Ward claims to have been on good terms with Bonzo. I think the hard separation between LZ and "heavy metal" bands is a little artificial and frankly, snobbish. In reality a lot of these guys grew up in the same area and had the same musical influences. I agree I am not positive on this one. but pretty darn sure, that John Bonham was the best man for Toni Iommi. sometime in the mid-70's....

Fresh Garbage Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) There's no particular significance to his wearing of the Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin t-shirt. He wore the same shirt on several of the other dates during that last leg of the USA tour. The Led Zeppelin Boxed Set had been released that Autumn and I believe that shirt was also recently released to coincide with it. I believe the shirt was licensed thru Winterland Productions. My point is it was not a bootleg or fan-made shirt. I've never heard anything concerning a food fight in Birmingham, Alabama. Please share your story with the board or email me privately thru my profile page. Thanks! Are you talking about the Jimmy Page shirt that has Jimmy from a side view with a cigarette in his mouth?.....because I used to have that shirt. and when I seen him at Alpine Valley that Summer he wore it for the encores...I thought of wearing it that night as well, but wore my Manic Nirvana shirt instead....lol I seen Plant later that winter when TBC opened for him. and the show was great and all, but that show he did at Alpine Valley was one of the best concerts I have ever attended! that show will remain in my mind forever Edited March 2, 2008 by Fresh Garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Garbage Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have no doubt in my mind that the 73 NYC robbery was Mob related. I read ton's of Mafia books. and sooner or later one of these guys in protective custody will come out and spill the beans.... I just a matter of when.

Yes, almost certainly an inside job amongst the hotel staff. Peter Grant made sure they never stay at The Drake Hotel again and that says a lot as far as I'm concerned.

The last I heard he was working for Atlantic in the European market. It's not clear when he may have left but he shows no signs of slowing down in the music industry.

Fresh Garbage Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Wasn't Phil Carson the Producer for "The House That Ahmet Built" in 2007....I always thought he was still working with or for Atlantic records as well......wow It is to late for me to check now. maybe tomorrow...

That's the thing about those senior executive positions. Phil could have walked in one day a week, staying just long enough to gut a fish at his desk and no one would have noticed. I believe he was on the Atlantic Records payroll far more recently than 1990 but I do not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluxe Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 In '67, Traffic recorded 'Dear Mr.Fantasy.' Although Dave Mason was guitarist for Traffic, the solo played sounds remarkably like Jimmy Page and even has a few signature riffs of Page's that show up later in live versions of 'Thank You' I know Jimmy was on tons of sessions at the time, one favourite being Joe Cocker's 'With A Little Help From My Friends.' Any way Jimmy may have layed down that solo in Dear Mr. Fantasy for Traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandown Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Any way Jimmy may have layed down that solo in Dear Mr. Fantasy for Traffic? Very doubtful. Such a session would be too "high profile" for it to go unreported for 40 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Garbage Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Very doubtful. Such a session would be too "high profile" for it to go unreported for 40 years. good one kids....I never thought of it that uway until now. and yes it does sound like Page. one riff kinda reminds me of the live For Your Love- from the 10th of January 1969....Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
