Okay... At last I've got a moment for focusing on this... I'm so sorry, I had a test week at school etc. Evenings were only reading, reading and reading... At least I know perfectly how did the Roman Empire fall.
I didn't get the Celebration day tickets. Yet. I've lost my hope over Led Zep reunion, though there has never been a thing called hope in that case. I watched one documentary about Rush and fell totally in love with those crazy guys (again). I followed Professor Snape and Darth Vader on Twitter. I heard that Nightwish has changed singer. Too bad, 'cause I liked Anette Olzon. And I still can't believe we're going to London after twenty fucking four days!!
By the way, if you haven't voted yet in Classic Rock Magazine's Annual reader poll, I recommend to do that. here's a link: http://awards.classicrockmagazine.com/
Among other nominees there are Alice Cooper, Rush, Slash and Van Halen in "Album of the Year", Pink Floyd, Whitesnake, Jethro Tull and The Who in "Reissue of the Year" and George Harrison, Mott The Hoople, Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones in "Film of the Year". But it's a miracle if Clockwork Angels or Rush doesn't win anything.
Here's one other nasty poll too (the link may be old, it had some problem but I couldn't figure out what was it): http://www.guitarworld.com/poll-greatest-guitarist-all-time-round-5-jimmy-page-vs-brian-may And here's the situation this far: http://dl.guitarworld.com/Sweet16Bracket.jpg
I mean, who even can decide which one's better; Randy Rhoads or Eddie Van Halen? I mean, probably Eddie but personally Randy means so so so much more to me. Or; Alex Lifeson or Tony Iommi? Jimmy Page or Jimi Hendrix? I couldn't even vote in those questions. Or maybe I just take these random polls too seriously.
To the end some of my autumn songs.. I wish you all officially nice autumn time. I already know what I want for Christmas presents: Darth Vader alarm-clock, drumsticks owned by Keith Moon (they were in eBay and cost 19,000 dollars each) Duff McKagan's It's So Easy book and Jimmy Page. I've always been realistic.
Page & Coverdale: Shake My Tree
That voice! David Coverdale has amazing voice! And it suits to this music very well.. I'd love to see
Pagey and Coverdale again on tour together.. David could probably sing Led Zep songs too, his voice is "almost Robert enough" in case you understand..
Then something Finnish:
Grease Helmet - Keep Your Helmet Greasy
Jere Garcia actually has very nice singing voice, right? At least I like it..
And Andy's solo is so Hanoi Rocks type. But as a whole this is somehow fresh to hear old good
hard rock today on the radio.
Rush - The Weapon
This is just amazing. One of my favorite Rush songs. Listen to the drums! The rythm is just hypnotizing,
as well the lyrics are too.
T.Rex - Metal Guru
In honour of Marc Bolan, who would have turned to 70 on 30.9. but who tragically died
in a car crush in 1977. But he'll always be the godfather of glamrock. R.I.P
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes
Another kind of tragic death was the death of Keith Moon in 1978. But I believe everybody love him, unlike Marc Bolan who is sometimes discribed such an asshole. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's impossible to not to love Keith Moon. He was just too adorable.
And Roger's voice. I love it too much.
And the lyrics of the song.. Pete Townshend is amazing songwriter, one of the bests.
Rush - Red Barchetta
This has been playing in my head for days now...
But this songs has a talent to always make my day. Neil Peart is amazing lyricsist too. This video is really cute, especially Geddy.. His hair is amazing. And look at the drumset! I can't play drums but I'm so jealous about that drumset. I'd love to have one as huge in my living room... new point to my X -mas present list?
