[kj] Anyway we can get KJ to play Austin's South by SouthwestMusic Fest this March!?

I agree except with Soundgarden trying to sound like Led Zep.esp in their
early stuff, Badmotorfinger for example you could pretty much call metal
(except Drawing Flies which you could easily call punk). 

 

Suppose Led Zeppelin influenced a hell of a lot of bands but no one really
came that close to picking up the torch they dropped.

Well, that was the point -- NO ONE took up that particular torch. Sure, lots
of bands attempted -- everyone from Kingdom Come through the Mission through
Soundgarden -- but there is only one Led Zeppelin.

Yeah Olly, ROCK THE FUCK UP! When you're playing Led Zep records, you can
always make the excuse that there's a Killing Joke link that you need to
explore.I promise I won't tell anyone on Cult Punk that you're listening to
SYMPHONIC PROG ROCK COVERS (well at least for a couple of days that is)

 

So anyone willing to venture a comment as to who if anyone took the torch
from Led Zep after they broke up?

yeah,i knew you would feel this way about the idear,
 
but again i stress--k.j riding on coattails of  ledzep,would get them more
respect fpr doing that,than (as they did) with motly crud--!!
 
as a man of your knowledge and exsperience  oliver,of both music and with a
purpose i am alarmed by your pairtinf thus those 2(mot..crud/zep ;( how very
dare   bleeeep..............................
...
---as with the 3 bands in question k.j/ledzep/ and crud lol,i will put 3
different catorgorys
music with feeling/music with a purpose and
 music with no purpose at all really apart from arse and titilation----k.j
and zep,fall into first two catorgorys ;D/
 
motly crud fall only into the last catorgory,there just a bunch of itis
really,apppealing to people who are interested in nothing but tits ;D))))
!!!!  <http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w2/emoticons/smile_embaressed.gif> 

can you see now what i am getting at
<http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w2/emoticons/smile_wink.gif>   ok zep have
about 5 tracks in there vast back catologue of tunes,that will appealing to
men being men,you get my meaning?good--every track of the muts cruds(motly
crew)is there to appeal to men being men and some more  ;/
if you cannot see the similaritys between k.j and zep,then you either dont
know  enough about k.j or enough about zep,i suspect it is the  latter,,try
reading up on the zep a bit,inside the zep--to find out what they were
about.
 
i have footage of when the damned appearing on marc boland show on vid,i
know what you mean,those 2 groups were not similiar,either in dress or
thought,but mysterially,as time moved on,i can kinda link a bit of a
sililarity in style music wise,if only on a handful of tunes,between
marc.b/t.rex  and the later damned of say--mid 80s onwards.
ppshere you go,judging anaudieance b.4 you have given them a chance to prove
you wrong or right--i still think you are wrong on this one,and as long as
you keep thinking,ledzep are motly crud mutt part 2,you will never change
your mind about k.j and zep gig----move away from the image of zep/mutt crud
forget it,there from 2 different mind sets completley..now visualise,k.j and
ledzep.but go really learn about zep b.4 you do that ok ;) xx
