Rock Stars about Led Zeppelin, part 1:

"It was the first time I saw them..."

Ace Frehley, KISS]: "I first saw them at the Fillmore East [the Fillmore East Festival] in 1969, in New York. They were opening the performance of Iron Butterfly and just swept them off the stage."

Carmine Appice, Vanilla Fudge]: "Of the people we played with at that time, Zep were the coolest. They were our opening act, and six months later, we were sharing the show equally."

Mick Box, Uriah Heep]: "I was at their concert at the Cooksferry Inn [a small jazz club] in Edmonton in '69. Bonzo had so many drums that they barely fit on that stage, and Plant was standing not in front, but to the side of him. They were amazing."

Freddie Mercury, Queen]: "I went to see them at the Lyceum Theatre. It was incredible." (from a letter to a friend '69)

Roger Taylor, Queen]: "When Freddie and I first saw them, we just couldn't believe it — their sound was so powerful." ('84)

Malcolm Young, AC/DC]: "Angus and I went to a Led Zeppelin concert once. They left after a couple of songs. Their blond singer was just a poseur." ('92)

Paul Stanley, KISS]: "I first saw them in August '69. They played together as a unit. But the most important thing was the sexual energy coming off the stage, their self-confidence, their rock bravado."

Bruce Foxton, The Jam]: "I went to see them, like, in '73-74. My friends liked them more than me. But their rhythm section and Page's guitar work were just phenomenal."

Carmine Appice, Vanilla Fudge]: "We performed with Hendrix, Cream, the Who, Alice Cooper, Zappa — and everyone was swept off the stage. And everyone was wondering who could do this to us? They turned out to be Led Zeppelin. They were amazing."

Does anyone want to listen to Graham's cover of Last Christmas

(it was released just before the Christmas last year so it's appropriate to listen now)

Tuesday, January 24: Uriah Heep, “Hot Persuasion”

R.I.P. Lee Kerslake (1947-2020)

Abominog was presented as a retooled version of Uriah Heep embracing heavy metal in general, and to a lesser extent the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in particular.  But aside from Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake coming in fresh out of the Blizzard of Ozz and the opening riff of “Too Scared to Run” the album didn’t feel like such a drastic departure from what Mick Box had been doing with Heep up to that point.  Sure, there was an economy to “Hot Persuasion” that was anathema to “The Magician’s Birthday”, but the band’s discography throughout the ‘70s was littered with brisk and relatively commercial rockers featuring melodramatic vocals.  And so it was here, perhaps the biggest distinction being Peter Goalby’s broader singing range.  Maybe the real story was that after several years of half-assed records made by scattershot lineups, here was an iteration of Uriah Heep that was focused and committed to their approach, and without delusions of grandeur or significance. And arguably that more than anything else made “Hot Persuasion” more likable.
