I know what I’m going to watch this weekend! NetFlix just released, “Becoming Led Zeppelin.”

As a very young boy, Zeppelin and The Who were my favorite rock bands. The first rock record album I ever bought was Zeppelin III — and I still love it (and everything else from the band) to this day.
I started piano lessons at age 3 1/2. By the next year, my siblings decided to form a band and voted that I would be the drummer. So at the end…Read More

WOW (!) I remember well in 1969 when I was 12 years old listening to my Archies “Sugar Sugar” 45 rpm. My big sister came in to have her turn at the hifi and said “You have to listen to this”. I was expressing interest in learning to play. She put on Zeppelin 2 and Hendix’ “Are You Experienced”. I admit that Hendrix was above my head at the…Read More

I was the only one of my siblings to love Zeppelin. My sisters turned me on to Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, ELO, and many other artists I came to love. They were my resource. But my sisters didn’t care much for Zeppelin. My mother used to refer to them as “acid rock” and “drug music.” However, when I was in my late teens, I finally had a…Read More

Becoming Led Zeppelin on Netflix
Excellent doc.
Has the only known audio interview with John Bonham.

Ed, the first rock record I ever purchased was Led Zeppelin III when I was around 7 years old. I literally wore out the grooves on “Since I’ve Been Loving You” and “Friends” because I played them so much. And I still have that original album with the worn out grooves in my basement and its replacement. Yet, while I’ve turned my wife and kids on to…Read More

I saw them at The Rose Palace in Pasadena, CA May 2nd, 1969 with:
Julie Driscoll – Brian Auger and the Trinity
The Elvin Bishop Blues Band
The Chambers BrothersThe four band did a full set, took an intermission and all four came back for another (different) set.
The stage had no curtains and no back stage area. The were no chairs, it was…Read More

Great story. Their first album from back then was killer. Zeppelin still rules!
Last night I watched “Becoming Led Zeppelin.” My wife stayed through the entire movie, but my kids didn’t. While I enjoyed it — and I’d pretty much watch anay official documntary on one of my favorite bands of all time — I thought it was just okay as a documentary.
-
Also, as we learned from the doc and I witnessed firsthand, in the second set they played Moby D!ck, Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love. The world did not know of those songs yet, but they moved me then and of course in due time I immediately recognized them when LZ II came out.
-
Zeppelin would have been great to see at any point, but the excitement of seeing them back then had to be incredible. I’ve seen a few bands before they became big, but the biggest one that I saw that blew me away with a new sound was Rage Against the Machine. They weren’t even booked at the club I saw them at, it was a surprise show (it was a cool…Read More

I saw them shortly after LZ III at the L.A. Forum too. We were three rows back from the floor at the middle on the side.

One of my favorite songs of all time, redone by Brian Wilson in 2009.
1 Comment-
Very sad news. If I have a “favourite”, it’s him. Saw him with the BB’s in 1980. and several times with his own band since 2002. Al Jardine will be doing some shows with some of his band later this year. Brian was clearly a reluctant genius (“I’m just a hard working guy”). He had a warm soul, a lovely sense of humour and zero ego.

RIP Sly Stone. He brought us some awesome music.
Many years ago, Sly lived in and performed in Chicago at local clubs. A friend of mine, a very talented female rock singer in the mold of Janis Joplin, had sometimes sang with the band an dated Sly’s drummer.
Unfortunately, Sly had long battled addiction, and it had, at various times, led…Read More

I’m just getting back in the saddle after managing to get a prolapse in my lower back, and fracture in the middle of my back at the start of February..
I’m doing some mixing, and some shouting on a Citizen Regen song these past weeks.
I’m still not able to sit at my studio desk for more than 45-60 mins a day for the time being.
Plus trying to…Read More2 Comments-
Sorry to hear what you’re dealing with, but I’m glad to know that you’re on the mend. @bapu was one of our earliest LM members, and is a great guy and, of course, a talented musician. I put one his songs with Fizzy Pickle on the first LM Mixtape and plan on doing a Mixtape of heavier rock music with Citizen Regen on it.…Read More

I bought Wave Alchemy Triaz a couple of days ago and already nearly done with a song. I haven’t recorded more than 8 bar loops for over a year so I’m pretty pleased. Inspired.
I’m also totally pissed off that I bought the Caelum Audio sample bundle. Total crap. -

Citizen Regen is working on the 2nd part of “concept” song that may well be over 45 minutes long if not more.

45 minutes or more? I’m a huge Yes fan. Their longest song is around 24 minutes. ELP’s Karn Evil 9 is around 29 and a half minutes. 45 minutes???-Wow!!! Be sure to share it in the Song forum. I realize that it doesn’t get a lot of traffic at this point, but our community is growing, and I’m fully committed to that forum. Also,, I plan on…Read More

What are you working on lately? Are you writing something? Recording something? Are you bringing aboard some new hardware? Learning some new software? Share what you’re up to!

I’ll start. I’m more than halfway through a cover of The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence.” I’m hoping to complete it this weekend.

Now that Studio One appears to be working well for me, I am re-learning the DAW while also learning the Synthesizer V version 2 (vocal AI) that I just acquired. Studio One is great. and I think Synth V can do a nice vocal performance if I can stop rewriting the melody/lyrics.

You know a $450 million US-valued software company’s forum isn’t important to them when it’s outsourced to a SasS company and the server is down on a regular basis. It was down a lot of the day today.
Let your friends know about LinkedMusicians, including friends over at Cakewalk Forums, which I suspect won’t be operating very much longer.…Read More

I love this. Rock-Jazz-Fusion band, Vital Information, is given a song and are challenged to quickly come up with a unique arrangement. In this case, they are presented with the Soundgarden song, “Black Hole Sun,” and I think they absolutely kill it. Just a great job.

I’m so sorry to see this news. Billy Joel has canceled all scheduled concert performances due to being diagnosed with a brain disorder that has led to “problems with hearing, vision and balance.”
Billy Joel has been one of my favorite singer/songwriters since I was a kid and my own kids have grown up hearing his music around the house and in…Read More

Through his career, critics continuously panned his music as schmaltz. I find he’s one of the greatest American pop songwriters of all time, up there with the best around the world (Lennon/McCartney, Paul Simon, Carole King…).

Totally agree – a young female friend of mine (who is an astonishing fiddle player) sang Piano Man when she was first branching out into singing and her version is sublime

One of my old musician friends I played with for years has a younger brother that plays drums and sax semi-professionally named Dan Webster. I’m listening in my headphones, very nice.

OMG, I LOVE THIS!!!! That’s a great shot! I love the guitar, the shirt looks very cool. It’s just plain awesome!

Overheard at my house today while watching a recent concert video of a band that my wife and I met in our dating days back in the 90s.
ME: Wow, that drummer really looks old.
DAUGHTER: True. But we still love you, dad.
ME; Ouch! -

I am caught between these two names for the official LinkedMusicians stuffed bear. I want a name that's silly and fun -- and of course ties into the LinkedMusicians brand. Linkey does that, although it might lack enthusiasm. Shredward Van Fluffen is ridiculous, and I love that although I actually was never a Van Hellen fan -- it's simply the ridiculousness of it. I promise to include this bear in future photos and video. What do you think? If you have more suggestions, please post 'em! FTR, the name will only be shown on the listing, not the bear itself.
Which name do you prefer for the official LinkedMusicians stuffed bear?1 Comment-
I voted for Shredward Van Fluffen — which, BTW, was not my idea, but came from a long list of suggestions from ChatGPT. Linkey, inspired by Homer Simspon’s idiotic names for pets and various things (e.g., Stompy the elephant), was my idea!

Tell me about an artist you really enjoy that’s not super popular that came out within the last decade or so.

Spring and Summer here means garden and yard work. The soundtrack of which (for me) is “Thump-a Thump-a Thump-a…” to keep me moving. Just the usual pop/EDM artists, I’m afraid.

Okay, well, I’m still interested. @bluescat, who are some of the artists you’re listening to? Is there anything you recently heard that you ended up putting on repeat? You might be listening to some music that I’m not very familiar with — and that goes for others here too. Please do tell! Even if it’s not new to us, it’s still interesting to…Read More

Dave Guetta (et al), Daft Punt, Deadmau5 Kaskade, etc for “Thump-a”. When I am in a reminisce mood, I put on some Beach Boys, Queen, Dire Straits, Doobies, Toto, CCR, Steely Dan… Gotta be up-tempo so I don’t fall asleep leaning on my shovel. I actually have a suntan going already. I’m gonna get kicked out of the nerd union.

I do have lawn to mow I need to find my earbuds. Yard work is a lot more pleasant when there are good tunes playing. I usually like something chill when i’m doing yardwork. Although, when the lawnmower is on, I might switch to something more aggressive to drown out the sound. I enjoy all of the bands you listed a lot — maybe with the exception of…Read More

/Drifting topic, this is the wall/ I used to use wired earbuds that fit well under my hearing protection muffs. I decided to buy some bluetooth buds with ANR for a recent trip so I wouldn’t have to lug my Sony ANR cans on the plane. I bought some Anker/Soundcore Liberty 4 buds and I love them. I’m old and have hearing loss and tinitus, so the…Read More

I was born with a birth defect in my inner ears. I’ve been through around a dozen surgeries. I have had a fairly serious hearing loss since I was a kid, because of that, very bad tinnitus and hearing-related issues that I don’t want to list publicly. It’s all part of why I look at the fact that with tendinitis, hearing loss, and tinnitus, I…Read More

Another incredible life performance. She’s won a Grammy, but still not very well known. Her guitar playing is killer on this too. It’s nuanced, it’s jazzy. The song goes from 4 to 7. It’s just such a great, locked in groove. It really makes me miss live performance.

Hi Peter & all – I’m back after just skim reading the activity log for a while as we have been away on a last minute holiday to Norfolk to take advantage of the amazing weather!
I went to see this band a few weeks ago and really enjoyed them – the CDs are great too https://www.youtube.com/user/milliemanders
Also check out the divine voice of…Read More

Millie Manders and The Shutup, it kinda reminds me of Pink. Good voice, and very catchy pop. Olcay Bayir does have a lovely voice! It’s cool how different these two bands are and you enjoy them both! I’m right with you. I don’t really care what genre something is, I’m open to all of it. Nice share!
-
yeah I’m as eclectic as owt 🙂 I went to see Saor, a death metal Celtic band, a few months ago! Those were two genres I would never imagine co existing. I prefer Olcay’s vocals though 🙂

Okay, sorry for the side issue here, but is anyone seeing the YouTube video in Joe’s above comment? I don’t and that was the issue I just had the dev work on at the site that I thought was fixed.

Probably my fault as my links are to the YouTube channels rather than a specific video

What was odd was that I couldn’t reply to your comment @peter

When it hits 9 nested tables, you can’t reply to a reply anymore. Facebook and Reddit go 10. I’m not sure why this was written to stop at 9. I’m sure lamia6 could do a much better job of explaining it and why they might have stopped at 9 instead of 10.

Ah thanks! I wondered why you had started another thread on same subject!

Just go to the last spot where you can choose reply to keep things together. But I like the free flowing real time capability of the GROUPS. It’s clearly a knock off of Facebook. It’s far superior to the forum for free flowing conversations. The forum is great for storing things we want to share for a while with a large audience. But the GROUPS…Read More

I think, in time, I would like to have occasional meetups with audio. Say, like a monthly meeting where we can discuss things, it can be wide open and then get into discussion on what we would like to see at the site.

On that note, did I share with you guys that a couple of years ago I watched one of my favorite movies — Spinal Tap — with my son, then 18 and he didn’t laugh even once. I remember saying to him during a funny line, “That’s funny, isn’t it???” His response? “I guess.” Before the month is over, I want to watch it with my daughter. She’s more…Read More

My sister gave me Led Zeppelin II for Christmas, it had just been released a couple of months before. So far I had only bought 2 albums – The Who Live at Leeds and The Band’s brown album. First track, Whole Lotta Love, was like nothing I had ever heard.
