    COVER FEATURE 28 TRAPS TRAPSMAGAZINE.COM THE JOHN BONHAM STORY ManCityCity BoyCountry Country BY CHRIS WELCH WITH ANDY DOERSCHUK JON COHAN JARED COBB & KAREN STACKPOLE autum 2007 TRAPS 29 30-49 Bonham 7/19/07 3:29 PM Page 30 JOHN BONHAM PREFACE A SLOW NIGHT AT THE MARQUEE As a Melody Maker reporter during the 1960s, I vividly remember the moment when a review copy of Led Zeppelin’s eponymous debut album arrived at the office. My colleague and fellow scribe Tony Wilson had secured the precious black vinyl LP and dropped it onto the turntable, awaiting my reaction. We were immediately transfixed by the brash, bold sounds that fought their way out of the lo- fi speakers – Robert Plant’s screaming vocals, the eerie Hammond organ sounds of John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Page’s supreme guitar mastery. But amid the kaleidoscope of impressions, the drums were the primary element that set pulses racing. We marveled at the sheer audacity, the sense of authority, the spatial awareness present on every track. Within moments, John Bonham’s cataclysmic bass drum triplets and roaring snare rolls had signaled a new era of rock drumming. The first time I saw Bonham up close was in December 1968, at The Marquee Club on Soho’s Wardour Street. While The Marquee has long held a mythical status in the rich history of the London rock scene – hosting early appearances by such legendary bands as The Who and The Rolling Stones – it was actually a dark and rather cramped facility with a tiny stage that fronted an even stuffier dressing room.

  • Song of the Day Lxxxvi
    SONG OF THE DAY LXXXVI This may go down as one of the shortest SOTD’s yet. Not because the song isn’t worthy of being written about, it certainly is. But mainly because the song is another instrumental and the song is so short on record. Of course I am talking about “Bron-Yr-Aur,” Jimmy’s acoustic, quasi-classical piece from “Physical Graffiti,” LP two, side three, track two, clocking in at a mere 2:06. Named after the cottage where Robert suggested they retreat to in order to get away from everything and focus on writing for their third album, this is about as beautiful as it gets. Jimmy utilizes an open C6 tuning for this piece, and for you guitar novices out there, you tune your guitar, from low to high, like this: C-A-C-G-C-E It is another in a long line of Page compositions that is just so enjoyable to play. It’s a bit difficult to learn if you aren’t used to playing classical guitar, as it requires a lot of finger picking to accurately perform it, but it is certainly worth the effort to get your skill to the needed requirement because this is a song that everyone loves. I remember being 14 and having a Led Zeppelin poster on my wall and my dad walked in my room, looked at the poster and just gave me that look. You know the look – that look that asks: What are you doing with this crap? I simply told my dad to hold on, pulled out my “Physical Graffiti” album and played this song.

The Carol Burnett Show lasted eleven seasons on CBS, thanks in part to the recurring comedy sketches that attracted a large, loyal viewership. “The Family” remained a favorite because fans related to the Harpers’ constant squabbling about mundane stuff. As the irascible Mama Harper, Vicki Lawrence was wondrously transformed into a full-tilt senior citizen and it wasn’t a matter of if, but when, she would get her own TV series. MAMA’S FAMILY debuted in 1983 on NBC, lasting two seasons before going into syndication for another four years.

  • Led Zeppelin
    For Linda, Evie, Mollie and Michael – always. Author’s Note While I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed the company of various ex-members and/or former employees of Led Zeppelin, it should be born in mind at all times that this is an unauthorised biography, written objectively and with no undue pressure from any outside influence to do anything other than tell the story as I honestly see it. It should also be clearly understood that the italicised ‘flashback’ passages of the text are not the actual words of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant, nor are they actual quotes. Whilst they are all based on thorough biographical research, the facts of which can be found in the Notes & Sources section at the end of this book, the words themselves are the product of my imagination.

This dissertation examines uses of history and expressions of cultural memory in Norwegian black metal. Formed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Norwegian black metal seemed at odds with many of the stereotypes of Norway. The genre is an extreme style of heavy metal music that has been associated with burning churches, desecrating graves, and committing murders. Yet, Norway is often perceived as wealthy with sublime natural beauty and high levels of equality. Since the late 1990s, Norwegian black metal has increasingly received positive recognition and support from Norwegian government agencies and cultural institutions who have deemed this style of music a cultural product of Norway. In exploring the relationship between Norwegian black metal and Norway, two primary questions are asked: what makes Norwegian black metal ‘Norwegian’ and what are its influences? To answer these questions, a theoretical approach based on Astrid Erll’s cultural memory complex is used.

    GETTHE L%`E a CelebrationD ofOUT "The Mighty Zep" ~@ From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the big concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six accomplished musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin’s studio recordings with all the bells and whistles. Utilizing the multi-intru- mentalists at their disposal, Get The Led Out re-create the` songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin them- selves never performed live. Dubbed by the media as “The American Led Zeppelin,” Get The Led Out present a two hour+ set each night that spans the mythic career of the legendary British supergroup. With a strong focus on the early years, they also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever heard in concert. The group is achieving strong box office scores in the Mid-Atlantic. Not uncommon are return-visits and sell-outs at %a number of the region’s most prominent venues and PACs including The Nokia Theater (NYC Times Square), Boston’s House of Blues, Pennsylvania’s Sovereign Center and Keswick Theatre, and Oswego New York’s “Harborfest” (two years in a row) as well as “Great band [who] knows the music inside-out and present countless other theaters and national concert it amazingly well.
