1) Interesting tidbit from Carmine Appice's book "Stick It!": an unknown band called "Led Zeppelin" was about to start a U.S. tour. Its mgt was the same as that of Vanilla Fudge. #LedZeppelin

No one would book them. Fudge's agent asked to have them open for Fudge.
2) The manager said, "Look, you only have to pay them $1500." No dice. "Look, pay them $750 and Vanilla Fudge will pay $750 out of their earnings."

3) So they did. By the end of the tour LZ had gotten so good and so popular that they ALTERNATED headlining depending on . . .

4) They finished the tour alternating headline bands.

5) Carmine told Bonham he loved his double tap bass drum licks.

Hay canciones que hemos oído tanto que ya hemos olvidado como nos impactaron la primera vez que la escuchamos. Cuánto nos cambiaron.

En el último hilo antes de verano, voy a hablaros de una canción que es un mito. De LA CANCIÓN.

La inocencia. La capacidad de ver el mundo con ojos nuevos y maravillarse por primera vez.

Abro hilo oscuro y siniestro!
