This week on "Get the Led Out" we're playing interview clips with two members of the Rolling Stones.
This week, we lost a great artist. Condolences first and foremost to the family and friends of Bert Jansch. He was a major influence on so many, including Jimmy Page. He will be missed, but his legacy will remain.
His final US tour began in December 2010, and our producer Denny Somach was the first to interview him. Here's the part of their conversation where they reflected on Bert's connection to Led Zeppelin.
It involves a song traditionally called "Blackwater Side," which Bert played on an album in 1966, and the track on Led Zeppelin's first album in 1969, called "Black Mountain Side."
This week on "Get the Led Out" we're playing interview clips with two members of the Rolling Stones.
First, Keith Richards has been doing press for his autobiography, "Life," which is a national bestseller. He took some time out to give us his opinion of Led Zeppelin, and it turns out he didn't think much of the band. He's hot on Jimmy, but Led Zeppelin never "took off" musically as a band, in his opinion.
We also caught up with Ronnie Wood, whose autobiography "Ronnie" came out in 2007. He remembers being asked to join Jimmy Page's New Yardbirds, which was to become Led Zeppelin. At the time, Ronnie was playing bass for the Jeff Beck Group, also under Peter Grant's management. Ronnie reveals what he thought when he first saw John Bonham!
A great band called Sons of Albion has been in New York for the past week. We've been seeing a lot of Logan and Nuno and the gang while they've been playing some great shows at places like Delancey, Piano's, Fontana's...
The band has been making some new music produced by Paul Logus, who is a contributing producer for GTLO, so it's "all in the family"!
So happy with the level of support Sons of Albion have been getting here in New York... All I can say is look out for big things! More to come on this...
While Jimmy Page was in Los Angeles late last week, promoting the upcoming guitar documentary "It Might Get Loud," along with Jack White of the White Stripes, he stopped by KLOS-FM 95.5...
I was just profiled in the New York Daily News..... for "defending" classic rock 10 years ago....
