Led Zeppelin reunion tour 2009

Admin — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 12:03:43 +0000

According to The Sun, Robert Plant have finally agreed to join the rest of the band for a reunion tour starting the summer of 2009. Jimmy Page, Jason Bonham (John’s son) and John Paul Jones were actually rehearsing with another singer in case Robert wouldn’t join them. But Robrt couldn’t stand the idea of not being involved in this project.

I’ll go anywhere to see Zeppelin. I hope they come to Europe, or even better; Scandinavia. How about Valle Hovin Arena in Oslo, Norway? Or Roskilde festival?

Top 500 classic rock songs

Admin — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 08:34:06 +0000

You have all seen the top 500 classic rock songs list on the main site, Rock-Songs.com. Here’s the place to comment on the list. But first a few common questions and answers:

Q1: How is the list put together?
A: By compiling many other “top 500 rock songs”-lists. On each list I gave nr. 1 500 points, nr. 2 I gave 499 points.. and so on. Nr. 500 got 1 point. So it doesn’t really reflect my personal favourites.

Q2: How come there is some songs that aren’t really rock songs on the list?
A: I don’t know. Refer to Q1.

Q3: Hey maaaan..this is like..ehh crappy..this is bullshit dude..how come [insert any band/song] isn’t there?
A: Not my fault, check Q1. I used all “rock 500 lists” I could find, I didn’t exclude anyone.
