Classical re union

I missed it!!

of course I missed it!!!

In fact, i never knew it!!

I wish i knew it!!
I really wish I knew!!
I damn **&%ing wish i knew!!

Led Zeppelin played again on stage, and I am not there!!
Of course, eventhough I live in a different continent, I would have flown down to UK just to see them live again. As i read through the reviews, and browse the video clipping over and over again, all I have is frustration, and a hope that they will continue, to tour!!

Even though in their sixties, they have not lost their "led Zep" feel - the high pitch cries, the classic posture, and the hallucinating music still flows out. I hate to even think about it.

And the next time, they decide to play, I am going to be there..
come what may!!!

"Dazed and confused" would be the right mood right now!!

Yes, I am planning to buy a stairway to their concerts -o-

Best Guitarists

After the songs, its time to have a look at the guitarists. No rock/metal song is complete without the guitar, the distorted notes, the hum, the sustain. Heres for you.. my fav guitarists of all time.

1. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)

Arguments may continue, but I cant think of letting anyone else in the top spot, atleast in my blog. Anyone who loves the good old classic days wont have any other choice for the top spot. His most beautiful, most complex, cutting edge, hallucinating effects are unmatched. Very hard to emulate or simulate, and those who tried have failed miserably.

Songs to listen : Stairway to heaven, Whole Lotta love, Since I've Been loving you, Dazed and Confused (wooow)

2. Jimi Hendrix

3. Ritchie Blackmore

4. Joe Satriani

5. Kirk Hammet

6. Van Halen

7. Randy Rhoads

8. Dave Mustaine

9. Eric Clapton

10. Brian May

11. Slash

12. Gilmore

13. Dimebag

14. Mark Knopfler

15. Stevie ray vaughan


Now, now, now
lets argue about it!!!!!!

All time Fav... at the moment

And here it is.. another of my fav passtimes...
My top hits of all times.. (at the moment)

1. Kashmir (Led Zeppelin)

In one word - Majestic.
The track blasts off with incredible power, and delivers a perfect blend of east and west, rock and blue, and mystery.

"All I see turns to brown,
as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand,
as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find,
trying to find
where I've been. "

a musical and lyrical masterpiece, a keep-it-always song.
