For all of you who took note, I am posting about mustaches, more specifically, bands with mustaches in them (or mustached people if you prefer). I think I have enough information so enjoy the pictures.
Deep Purple. Mustache bottom right.
This one was obvious. Some people say that ZZ Top became popular because of their beards (and mustaches).
John Bonham (far left) from Led Zeppelin is definitely a great drummer too.
He's basically the best drummer ever.
Kansas has it all set with mustaches and an eye patch. Don't forget the awesome music.
OH MY GOODNESS ANOTHER MUSTACHE.
This is Rush by the way. They are an amazing band.
Queen is 20% cooler with Freddie's mustache. Those who get the reference, good work.
As you can see, I have added a poll to the side of the blog. I'm taking votes right now for a future project so it is important that all you guys out there vote. I know that there are a bunch of famous singers missing, but I just want you all to choose from what I got there. There will be more polls like this in the future so be warned.
Awesome! Lots and lots of pictures!
This a truly beautiful song by Led Zeppelin. It's one of their softer songs that appeared on their album Led Zeppelin II. Also, a quick fun fact: this song's lyrics were inspired by J. R. R. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings.
If you want to see for yourself, go ahead and look up the lyrics and see for yourself.
Just as a forewarning I'm going to tell you this: I love Led Zeppelin. There are going to be many more posts about Led Zeppelin. Probably a lot more.
I have more where this came from.
Today I'm showing a great song by Led Zeppelin. It is called Over The Hills And Far Away. It is a great song, and I like how Jimmy Page used his electric 6-string instead of his usual 12-string for the song. It puts a nice twist to it.
Also, does it ever occur to you that Robert Plant does this position a lot?
He does it in almost every single song!
P.S.- I got a post in! Maybe you won't have to wait until Saturday for a post!
Led Zeppelin was a very famous and popular band, but Jimmy Page and Robert Plant did most of the entertaining (Especially Robert Plant) while the bassist and the drummer just did their music in the background. Now John Bonham is a great drummer and when his song, "Moby Dick" comes on, it's his time to shine. He is truly a great drummer. I have this video of only part of the song Moby Dick, but it is enough to get a good idea of how the song sounds. If you want to see the whole version of this song (Which is over 14 minutes long live) you can find it on youtube.
Most of the time in concerts the drummer will go of on a long drum solo which usually lasts around 10-15 minutes (sometimes more) so that the other band members can get a break. That is why Robert Plant and everyone else went backstage during the song. In this video, John is doing an awesome job drumming; the cameraman though, not so much.
John Bonham's symbol.
I always recognize John in his pictures by his mustache.
All this week, I'm going to be focusing on the band members in many famous bands that weren't put in the spotlight. This week I'm not going to talk about guitarists or singers. I'm going to put more focus on the bass players and the drummers or possibly even the rhythm guitar players and every other instrument player that put in a lot towards a band that wasn't put in the spotlight.
P.S.-
At first this post had a lot of words so I got rid of some, but then I added a lot of pictures. I hope you keep reading this week to see some great videos and learn some cool stuff. Enjoy!
I have been having a lot of fun lately adding captions to some of my favorite band's pictures. So, since I've been talking about Led Zeppelin lately, I'm putting up my Led Zep picture first. Here it is:
Personally, I don't want to take pictures of myself tuning my guitar. (I actually do have a guitar though.)
Also, for those of you who didn't notice, Jimmy Page was the one I imagined saying that.
I can't stop thinking about Led Zeppelin today. So, I'm posting up this video of part of a Led Zeppelin Concert featuring one of their great hits: Black Dog. Actually, the name "Black Dog" was inspired by a black labrador retriever. This song appeared on the album Led Zeppelin IV in 1971
