This link is growing and growing and growing..... :lol::lol::lol::lol:
I love it..... RJ, HJ & co firing away about Metal etc..... absolutely hilarious. I love you guys, you have real brains, shame you don't always use them, I guess being on a forum like this limits your capabilities to shine!!!!!
but what about Ritchie Blackmore, early Deep Purple..... he like Hendrix & Page & Tommy Iomi (spelling ?) revolutionized the pure artistic classical arts of music into a new contemporary heavy metal platform. And then there is Jethro Tull .... what an awesome band with Ian Anderson up front, and then there was early Genesis and Yes and well the list of influences (for me) goes on and on and on).
I was very lucky as a young teenager, went out with my older cousin and his connections to a few of the Paddo gang, got to see stacks and stacks of concerts from 1969 onwards at the Randwick Racecourse, Sydney Showground, Hordern Pavilion etc, and YEP, we broke into every one of them and got to see all these concerts for FREE. There are many hillarious stories to tell.... ohh the memories come flooding back.
My favourite live band of all time......... LED ZEPPELIN with John Bonham on drums back in Feb 1972 at the Sydney Showground..... MAN, that concert has still not been upstaged by any band I have seen or heard live on CD/DVD since . Gees, I wish we had todays technology to record live what I witnessed up near the front stage with John Paul Jones (a genius), Jimmy Page (a metal riff/feel electric guitar genius), John Bonham (well I still feel was is the God of heavy Metal /percussive Drumming even with bare hands) and Robert Plant..... well, what a raw, powerful soul seering high pitched voice with immense control, even with quiter slow emotional moments).....
You name it, if they toured back then, I probably saw it....
The worse concert I ever saw..... Eric Clapton in the Hordern Pavilion on the Ocean Boulevarde Tour.... he was so smacked out on Heroin that he played and sang awfully that night .... it was a most terrible concert... and yet I have seen him play with Creme & others and he was fantastic.
