Eddie Van Halen Reinvents the Guitar
Eddie Van Halen's newly designed guitar is the Wolfgang
By Denise Quan
CNN
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- There are rock stars, and then there are Rock Stars. Eddie Van Halen is a Rock Star.
Eddie Van Halen wanted to create a guitar that was practically indestructible -- at least by him.
Take an incident in the summer of 2007. A security guard stopped me as I attempted to drive through the gates of Center Staging, a rehearsal studio across the street from Burbank Airport.
"That's odd," I thought. "They've never had security before. I wonder what's going on?"
Pretty soon, I discovered the reason for the limited access. A black BMW convertible drove up, and a baby-faced teenager jumped out of the driver's seat. The passenger door opened, and out walked Eddie Van Halen. Everyone stopped talking and stared, including Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, who were outside taking a break from their own rehearsal.
Van Halen and the other members of the band had just announced a big reunion tour with original singer David Lee Roth at a splashy news conference in Beverly Hills, and I had inadvertently discovered where they were prepping for their journey. Eddie and his son Wolfgang -- named for Mozart -- greeted a couple of people in the parking lot and quickly disappeared inside the soundstage.
Moments later, the earth trembled as the loudest guitar I've ever heard in my life was fired up. It was like a sonic boom -- only the sound wasn't coming from the airport. It was coming from inside the soundstage. The legendary guitarist launched into the familiar intro to Van Halen's 1978 hit, "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love." That was followed by "Runnin' With the Devil."
Joss Stone ran out of her own rehearsal studio -- barefoot -- and begged a security guard for entry. She was turned away.
Months later, I would catch Van Halen, the band, during their triumphant hometown concert in Los Angeles. Little did I know that during that tour, Eddie had been road-testing a series of prototype guitars he was designing with Fender. The instrument was called "the Wolfgang," after his son, who's Van Halen's current bass player. Watch Van Halen show off his new axe
After years of wearing down metal frets and having pieces of his guitar rip off or malfunction during shows, Van Halen says he's built a guitar that even he can't destroy. On the Wolfgang, frets are fashioned of stainless steel, and metal gadgets are custom-made by a company that specializes in medical tools. Sections of wood are left unpainted so the instrument can breathe and age -- "like a Stradivarius," the 54-year-old musician explains with a degree of pride.
We recently caught up with Eddie at his 5150 Studio, high in the hills above Los Angeles. It's where the album "1984" was recorded, along with every subsequent Van Halen record. The studio sits on seven acres, just a stone's throw from the Tudor mansion he bought in 1980. He and his fiancee/publicist, Janie Liszewski, scoot around the property in golf carts. The red, white and black-striped motif of his signature Van Halen guitar is painted on the walkway. The following is an edited version of the interview.
CNN: You've been tearing guitars apart and redesigning them all your life, haven't you?
Eddie Van Halen: It kind of started when I went to a Radio Shack-type of store in Pasadena. They had a 12-string guitar hanging there, and I didn't want 12 -- I wanted six. And so I asked the guy, "Could I take six strings off and try it?" And the guy said, "No, not unless you buy it." So I borrowed the money from my parents, bought it, took six strings off and voila -- did what I wanted. The guitar -- it's on the first album cover. It's called Frankenstein.
I'm always tinkering with stuff. And basically, the new Wolfgang is a combination of all the years of tearing things apart, ruining things, creating things and coming up with things that I later found out I could patent.
CNN: How many guitars have you accidentally broken on stage?
Van Halen: On stage? (He shrugs.) During the last show, I actually tried to break a Wolfgang, and it wouldn't break. I picked it up and I couldn't break the damn thing. I threw it up in the air, and later put it out in the rain. I picked it up half an hour later, and it was still in tune. It pissed me off.
CNN: The Wolfgang sells for about $3,000. Are you worried about introducing a high-end guitar when the economy is taking such a hit?
Van Halen: I just don't think that way. I'm really not a businessman, so to speak. The only reason I do it is because people are always asking me where they can get what I use.
CNN: Who are some of the musicians who have asked?
Van Halen: Everybody uses my stuff. They just don't like talking about it.
CNN: I'm told you can hear things that most people can't with the naked ear.
Van Halen: I have selective hearing. (Laughs)
CNN: I think a lot of men do!
Van Halen: Obviously, I've lost a little bit, at very high frequencies -- which is kind of like a woman screaming at ya.
CNN: "Ed, did you take the trash out?" "Can you wipe the dishes?" Are you hearing anything?
Van Halen: What was that? (Laughs) I don't know. I'm blessed with a good pair of ears. That's how I fooled my piano teacher. I'd watch his fingers and I'd listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.
I can't read music. Instead, I'd do stuff inside the piano, do harmonics and all kinds of crazy things. They used to put me in these annual piano contests down at Long Beach City College, and two years in a row, I won first prize -- out of like 5,000 kids! The judges were like, "Very interesting interpretation!" I thought I was playing it right.
But everything is open to interpretation. Imagine if Beethoven had a tape recorder. Then you'd know exactly what he meant. Maybe he meant (singing the opening notes to the Fifth Symphony), "Da da da da" instead of "Boom boom boom boom!" Who knows.
CNN: Did you ever take formal guitar lessons?
Van Halen: No. That's why I do all this crazy stuff. It's not taught.
CNN: Do you think you'd approach music differently if you had taken guitar lessons?
Van Halen: Probably. But you only have 12 notes. Do what you want with them.
CNN: What kind of music do you listen to when you're at home?
Van Halen: I don't listen to anything, really. Believe it or not, I'm so slammed with ideas, and the man upstairs overloads me with stuff, so I'm always doing my own thing.
CNN: How was it having Wolfie on the road with you on the last tour? He was 16 when he took over as Van Halen's bass player in 2007.
Van Halen: It was a dream! That kid is truly amazing. I did name him after the right guy. (Laughs)
CNN: He's still in high school. Did he have a tutor on the road?
Van Halen: Yeah, he had four hours of school and then a gig at night. He worked three times harder than any of us.
CNN: How was it touring with David Lee Roth after all these years?
Van Halen: It was great.
CNN: No smackdowns?
Van Halen: No, no. Everything went great. It went smooth.
CNN: Is there going to be another Van Halen tour?
Van Halen: Oh, I know so. I mean, we're a band! That wasn't just a one-off thing. It's officially a band. And Wolfgang Van Halen is the bass player. Janie and I are getting married in June, and my son's going to graduate, and we'll pick it up after that. Obviously, I hope we record some new stuff. I'm writing, and just doing the same thing I always do.
CNN: Is Wolfie going to be in the wedding?
Van Halen: He's going to be my best man. My brother's marrying us.
CNN: Oh, that's right! Alex (the drummer in Van Halen) is an ordained minister.
Van Halen: Yeah. Reverend Al! (Laughs) We're going to do it right here in the backyard. Small, intimate wedding. ... We'll get a string quartet for part of it and a DJ for afterwards, although I'm not much of a dancer.
CNN: Sounds like a very traditional, non-rock star-type of wedding. So many people can pick out an Eddie Van Halen guitar solo, but not a lot of people know who you are as a human being.
Van Halen: I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I'm not your average bear. I -- what's the word? I'm not -- normal. (Laughs) I sound like Michael Jackson. I'm not like other guys.
CNN: You hate interviews, don't you?
Van Halen: Well, believe it or not, I really don't have much to say -- 'cause the equipment speaks for itself. And so does the music.
CNN: If I play your new Wolfgang guitar, will I sound like you?
Van Halen: Why would you want to sound like anyone else? Get your own guitar. They're available!

non-john: Ron Asheton R.I.P. -- strawberry shortcake, 11:05:23 01/06/09 Tue [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Stooges guitarist found dead
By Mike Bruno
(Entertainment Weekly) -- Ron Asheton, the guitarist for the influential punk rock band The Stooges, was found dead this morning, police tell the Detroit Free Press.
The 60-year-old's deceased body was found in his Ann Arbor, Michigan, home after a caller phoned police saying they hadn't heard from him in a few days. Authorities are investigating the cause of death, but foul play is not suspected.
The Stooges were founded in 1967 in Ann Arbor by Iggy Pop, Asheton, and his brother, Scott Asheton. Though never a major commerical success, the band has been cited by artists like Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and Jack White of the White Stripes as a major influence.
The group's albums included a self-titled debut, which was released in 1969, and 1970's "Fun House." Among the group's songs are "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "1969" and "Raw Power."
The Stooges are nominated for induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with inductees set to be announced later this month. They reunited for a series of shows in 2003, and released a new record, "The Weirdness," in 2007.

non-John: G n' R and Dr. Pepper -- strawberry shortcake, 13:19:26 12/02/08 Tue [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Guns N' Roses lashes out at Dr Pepper
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Guns N' Roses became Guns N' Roses N' Lawyers this week.
Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose finally released "Chinese Democracy" in November.
The band, which released its first album in 17 years last week, has found itself in a legal tussle with soft drink giant Dr Pepper over a promotion turned awry.
Dr Pepper rolled out a marketing campaign in March promising a "free soda" to "everyone in America" on one condition -- Axl Rose, lead singer and frontman for Guns N' Roses, had to "finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, 'Chinese Democracy,' in 2008."
Guns N' Roses, often called GN'R by its fans, released the album last week. And Dr Pepper followed through, posting a coupon on its Web site for a can of soda. There was one catch: fans had 24 hours to go the Web site and print out the coupon.
That's when the Pepper hit the fan. Watch why GN'R is so angry
So many GN'R fans -- and, no doubt, fans of free stuff in general -- tried to get the coupon that they choked the site and it crashed. Disgruntled and downright ticked off, some blamed the band.
"When you go on the blogs and you read the responses from the fans, they associated Axl with this promotion ... and blame him for the fact that they didn't get their free soda," said GN'R lawyer Laurie Soriano.
That's when GN'R became GN'RN'L. Soriano fired off a letter to Dr P. No one is LOL.
Her letter asked the soft drink company to make good on its offer. She has yet to hear back, Soriano said this week.
Don't Miss
EW.com: 'Chinese Democracy' gets a B
"We've gone public with the fact that we are not involved but are trying to clean up the mess," Soriano told CNN.
Dr Pepper told CNN it had "taken great steps" to keep up its end of the bargain. It said it extended the window for the giveaway from 24 to 42 hours, added a toll-free line to handle consumer requests for the coupons and set up an interactive voice recorder to accept coupon requests. None of those measures are still in effect.
"Additionally," the company said in a written statement, "for those who contacted us in the week after the giveaway about difficulties requesting the coupon, we continued to offer free coupons to address any problems they may have encountered."
That may be so, but the band still wants an apology.
"The door to a lawsuit being filed is always open until the fans are taken care of and Dr Pepper has done the right thing," Soriano told CNN.
The band may have other concerns. "Chinese Democracy" received mixed notices upon its release, and some bloggers are blaming Axl Rose for the new album's reception.
"The album was beaten to the top of the UK charts by The Killers' 'Day And Age' on Sunday," the British music news site NME.com said Tuesday in a segment labeled Today's Top Gossip. "Sources have said that record bosses are fuming because Rose has been AWOL for the last two months -- meaning he hasn't done any promotional work for the album."
And an official Chinese Communist Party newspaper was widely reported as describing "Chinese Democracy" as a "venomous attack" on China, accusing the band of turning "its spear point on China."
As Rose once sang, "Welcome to the jungle. It gets worse here every day."

non-john: Mitch Mitchell 1946-2008 -- strawberry shortcake, 14:18:27 11/13/08 Thu [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell was found dead in a Portland, Oregon hotel this morning at the age of 62. Early reports indicate he died due to natural causes. Raised in London as John Mitchell, he and bassist Noel Redding comprised Jimi Hendrixs rhythm section from 1966 until 1969, with Mitchell joining the guitar great on all three Experience albums Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland as well as legendary performances at the Isle of Wight and Woodstock. Mitchell also played in the Dirty Mac with John Lennon, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards for The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus.
Post-Experience, Mitchell remained mostly under the radar, performing at the occasional studio session or concert before ultimately joining first the Gypsy Sun Experience and, most recently, the Experience Hendrix tour (he performed on the tour in Portland this past Friday). With the death of Hendrix in 1970 and Redding in 2003, Mitchell was the last surviving original Jimi Hendrix Experience member. Sadly, Mitchell is the second drummer associated with Hendrix to die this year: Hendrixs Band of Gypsys bandmate Buddy Miles also passed away in February.
In a statement on behalf of the Hendrix estate, Janie Hendrix (Jimis sister) said, Were all devastated to hear of Mitchs passing. He was a wonderful man, a brilliant musician and a true friend. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who played on three Experience Hendrix tours with Mitchell, said in a statement, Today many of us have lost a dear friend, and the world has lost a rock & roll hero. Velvet Revolvers Matt Sorum also paid tribute to Mitchell. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, Sorum said. Next time you put on Electric Ladyland, Axis: Bold as Love or Are You Experienced?, listen to the pure musicianship of one of the greatest drummers of all time. God bless Mitch Mitchell!
R.I.P. Mitch.

Pink Floyd keyboardist Wright dies
LONDON, England (AP) -- A Pink Floyd spokesman says founding member Richard Wright has died. He was 65.
Richard Wright (right) and a reunited Pink Floyd earn cheers at 2005's Live 8.
Wright died Monday after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. His family did not want to give more details about his death. The spokesman is Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist.
Richard Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason at college and joined their early band Sigma 6.
After Syd Barrett joined the band, Sigma 6 eventually became Pink Floyd and Wright wrote and sang some of the band's key songs. He wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" from Pink Floyd's 1973 "The Dark Side Of The Moon."
He left the group in the early 1980s to form his own band but rejoined Pink Floyd for their 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason."

By ALEX WILLIAMS
Published: August 29, 2008
DURING his freshman year at Point Park University in Pittsburgh a couple years ago, James Acklin, now 20, felt lost among the social cliques on his new campus until he got to talking with a student who was in some of his classes. She seemed unusual, and it wasnt just her look: thick-framed eyeglasses, bangs and vintage dresses. Then, one rainy day in February, the two skipped class and went to her apartment. As soon as she opened her door his instincts were confirmed: she had a turntable. So did he. They both spoke the language of vinyl.
Their bond was sealed as soon as she placed the stylus on an LP by the band Broken Social Scene, he said in an e-mail message. There was this immediate mutual acknowledgment, like we both totally understood what we define ourselves by, continued Mr. Acklin, who considers his turntable, a Technics model from the 1980s that belonged to an aunt, a prized possession. It takes a special kind of person to appreciate pops and clicks and imperfections in their music.
The ranks of vinyl devotees are growing. Lately, the anachronistic LP has experienced an unlikely spike in sales, decades after the mainstream music industry wrote off the format as obsolete. Major labels are expanding their vinyl offerings for the first time since they left records for dead nearly two decades ago, music executives said.
While the niche may still be small measured against overall sales of recorded music, the surge of interest in vinyl and, particularly, its rising cachet among young listeners is providing a rare glimmer of hope in a hemorrhaging industry.
Even if the industry doesnt do all that well going forward, we could really carve this out to be a nice profitable niche, said Bill Gagnon, a senior vice president at EMI Catalog Marketing, who is in charge of vinyl releases. He said that people who buy vinyl nowadays are charmed by the formats earthy authenticity.
Its almost a back-to-nature approach, Mr. Gagnon said. Its the difference between growing your own vegetables and purchasing them frozen in the supermarket.
The category virtually collapsed in the late 1980s with the advent of the compact disc. And despite the efforts of various subcultures of supporters club D.J.s, audiophiles, hardcore punks to engineer a vinyl comeback, sales continued to wither as MP3s joined CDs as competition over the last decade. The industry had shipments of 3.4 million LPs and EPs in 1998 and just over 900,000 in 2006, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
But shipments jumped about 37 percent in 2007, to nearly 1.3 million records. Three years ago Warner Bros. Records returned to the format when it opened becausesoundmatters.com, an online vinyl store stocked with reissues and new releases. At first, any vinyl release that sold 3,000 copies was considered a success, said Tom Biery, who oversees vinyl sales for the company. By comparison, the 2007 Wilco album, Sky Blue Sky, surpassed 14,000 copies.
Vinyl is suddenly chic, he said, even among people too young to have grown up with the familiar crackle of a needle carving through the grooves of an album. I have friends who have younger kids 13, 15 years old, even 10 and all those kids want turntables, he said. Their parents are like: Wait a minute. What are you talking about?
Mass-market retailers like Virgin Megastore and smaller record stores like Mondo Kims in Manhattan are devoting more floor space to the antiquarian 12-inch disc of late. Newbury Comics, a chain of 29 music and merchandise stores in New England, has sold 400 turntables since it started selling them in June, Duncan Browne, a company executive, said.
Despite the spike, records still represent a sliver of the music business as a whole. In 2007, for example, the industry shipped 511 million CDs. But given the declining interest in compact discs those half-billion CDs represented a drop of more than 17 percent from the year before any growth was welcome, executives said.
This year Capitol/EMI is in the process of reissuing its first substantial vinyl catalog in decades. Some of those albums, like Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, are classic rock leviathans aimed at nostalgic baby boomers. But many are albums by contemporary artists, like Radiohead and Coldplay, who appeal to young music buyers, Mr. Gagnon said. Most are pressed on acoustically superior 180-gram vinyl, and many are packaged in gatefold jackets, so they can serve as collectors items for young fans who might also have the music in its digital form.
With music so abundant on the Internet, record label executives said they needed to make physical copies of albums stand out as desirable objects in order to get people to buy them. Vinyl albums are up to the task: they are exotic because of their novelty and retro allure, and more physically imposing than CDs. (And the 12.5-inch album sleeve is an ideal canvas for cover art.)
Deluxe editions are trophies of sorts for passionate fans, Mr. Biery said. In September, for example, Warner Bros. Records will release a new Metallica album, Death Magnetic, in a five-record box version each of 10 songs will get its own side for about $115.
Many new-generation fans of vinyl view LPs as branded merchandise, like band T-shirts or posters, as much as a practical means of acquiring recorded music, said Matt Wishnow, the founder of Insound, an online music and merchandise company. In the last two years vinyl sales have expanded to about 50 percent from less than 20 percent of the companys business, he said. (The median age of its customers, he added, is 25.)
In an era when everybodys music collection is the same thanks to file swapping, collecting expensive, unwieldy LPs is a conspicuous way for the superfans to advertise their cognoscenti status, he said.
Its a customer who wants to have vinyl in their home the same way they want books in their home, Mr. Wishnow said. For such a customer, he added, the message is, When I can have all the music in the world in the palm of my hand, what does it say about me that I spend $15 to $20 for this format that is a pain to store and move and is easily damaged?
Young vinyl collectors said digital technology had made it easy for anyone even parents to acquire vast, esoteric music collections. In that context, nothing seems hipper than old-fashioned inconvenience.
The process of taking the record off the shelf, pulling it out of the sleeve, putting the needle on the record, makes for a much more intense and personal connection with the music because its more effort, said R. J. Crowder-Schaefer, 21, a senior at New York University who said he became a serious vinyl disciple a few years ago.
Along the way, devotees often cross paths with their parents, who are still upgrading their audio technology. Meghan Galewski, another student at New York University, bought her father, now 56, an iPod for a recent birthday. He bought her a turntable for hers.
He thought it was stupid that I wanted this old technology, Ms. Galewski, 21, said. She had to tutor him on how to use his iPod, then rifled through his stacks of records from the 60s and 70s to appropriate gems like his original Woodstock LP set.
But for Corinne Monaco, 17, who lives in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, her interest in vinyl provides a way to bond with her parents. Afternoons on the sofa listening to Jethro Tull and Jimi Hendrix albums with her father, she said, give her a chance to see where he was coming from, with the music of his youth.
INDEED, records force children of the digital age to listen to music in the rigid manner of previous generations, said Scott Karoly, 21, a student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a recent vinyl convert.
No longer can they use a click wheel to sample songs from Miley Cyrus, Nas, Black Sabbath, John Coltrane and the Scissor Sisters within minutes. With vinyl, listeners cede control to the artist. They let the music wash over them, in the original order of songs, at the original pace. I have a ton of music on iTunes, Mr. Karoly said, but with that music I get A.D.D. really quick. With my LPs, its like reading a book as opposed to clicking through articles on Yahoo.
When you put on a record, he added, its an event.

Soul legend Isaac Hayes dies
(CNN) -- Soul singer and arranger Isaac Hayes, who won Grammy awards and an Oscar for the theme from the 1971 action film "Shaft," has died, sheriff's officials in Memphis, Tennessee, reported Sunday.
Relatives found Hayes, 65, unconscious in his home next to a still-running treadmill, said Steve Shular, a spokesman for the Shelby County Sheriff's Department.
Paramedics attempted to revive him and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2 p.m., the sheriff's department said.
No foul play is suspected, the agency said in a written statement.
Hayes was a longtime songwriter and arranger for Stax Records in Memphis, playing in the studio's backup band and crafting tunes for artists such as Otis Redding and Sam and Dave in the 1960s. See photos of singer Isaac Hayes
He released his first solo album in 1967, and his 1969 follow-up, "Hot Buttered Soul," became a platinum hit.
In 1971, the theme from "Shaft" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks and won an Academy Award for best original theme song. The song and the movie score also won Grammy awards for best original score and movie theme.
Hayes won a third Grammy for pop instrumental performance with the title track to his 1972 "Black Moses" album.
From the late 1990s through 2006, Hayes provided the voice of "Chef" for Comedy Central's raunchy animated series "South Park," as well as numerous songs.
The role introduced him to a new generation of fans, but he left after the show lampooned his own religion, the Church of Scientology.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. In a CNN interview at the time, Hayes credited his success to "adjusting and constantly evolving, expanding and trying to stay as young as I can."
The new generation of popular musicians, he said, "could use a little more substance like we had in the day."
"They're standing on our shoulders. Some of them don't realize [it] because they sample me so much," he said.
Hayes credited his role on "South Park" with expanding his fan base, and said that he had almost passed on the job.
"I started to walk out. I thought it was a Disney thing. I [had] never heard of this thing," he said. But his agent persuaded him to tape some episodes.
"Toward the opening I started having trepidations -- 'Oh my god, what have I done? I've ruined my career.' But when it aired, the ratings went through the roof," he said.
A 1992 visit to the royal family in Ghana was a life-changing experience for Hayes, he said.
"I went back on speaking engagements and encouraged African-Americans to go to Africa [to] interact socially, culturally and/or economically," he said.

non-john: The Police -- strawberry shortcake, 07:24:53 08/06/08 Wed [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Police guitarist: 'We're the same three (jerks) we always were'
NEW YORK (AP) -- During a lengthy reunion tour that concludes Thursday, The Police didn't necessarily resolve the conflicts that blew apart one of rock's most successful groups nearly 25 years ago.
Sting performs during the July Rock in Rio music festival with The Police in Arganda del Rey, Spain.
At least its members seem to understand them better.
"People don't really change," guitarist Andy Summers told The Associated Press. "We're the same three (jerks) we always were. I'm actually quite proud of the fact that it's gone on as long as it has."
The Police had initially planned to end their 30-year reunion tour a year ago in Giants Stadium, bringing full circle to a career where the first U.S. show was in New York's grungy CBGBs nightclub.
Things were going so well, both personally and as a business, that they kept adding legs; the reunion tour will end as one of the five biggest money-making rock tours of all time.
The full circle idea stuck, however. The 96th and final show of the tour will be in New York's Madison Square Garden, a benefit for two local public television stations.
At the simplest level, Summers said it has been immensely satisfying to see the faces of fans who had grown up listening to songs like "Roxanne," "Don't Stand So Close To Me" and "Every Breath You Take."
"I'm in front of the stage and you literally see people break out into sobs or kiss each other and jump around expressing joy," he said. "It's been quite emotional in many ways."
Some things never change: Summers was stuck in the middle between the "two kids scrapping on either side," headstrong singer and composer Sting and drummer Stewart Copeland, the volatile anchor of the band's meld of punk rock, reggae and jazz.
Copeland is a visceral musician, one who sees music as a spontaneous exercise of joy and who loves the creative process. Copeland views Sting as a musical genius, but one sure of his ideas and not really interested in collaboration. Now that Copeland has spent several years composing film music, hiring musicians to play exactly the notes he wrote, he can understand why he drives Sting nuts.
"When he exercises his right to have it the way he imagined it, it's a problem for both him and me," he said. "I just can't do it. I can't remember it. I have my own ideas. I'm incorrigible."
When he was 25 years old, he couldn't understand all this, said Copeland, now 56.
Sting, Copeland and Summers would occasionally socialize after the band broke up in 1984, "but not really to the extent where we were able to clear up all of our misconceptions about each other," he said. "It was really good for us to figure out what made the band work and what didn't work, so we could appreciate each other unconfused by these other issues."
Working with Sting has been inspiring, he said, "but, man, I need to breathe sometimes."
He doesn't want to overemphasize the conflicts, because Copeland said they've really been having a good time on the road.
Copeland gave another hint to his personality when he trashed the band's performance over the Internet after the first couple of gigs. "We are the mighty Police and we are totally at sea," he wrote on his blog.
The last leg of the tour has contained the best shows, he said.
"As we're getting more into it and less uptight about living the legend, it is actually becoming the stuff that got us here," he said.
So is this really the end?
"Yes," Copeland said. "It was the commitment in the beginning that made it possible, that it was a finite commitment. That has actually made it a lot of fun."
Same question to Summers. Is this really the end?
Yes, but ...
Maybe it's because he's seen the history of bands like the Eagles, who are now a fully functioning recording and touring unit again after once saying hell would freeze over before they would reunite.
"I'm fully prepared to say that was it, we're fine and we're done," Summers said. "On the other hand, I'm fully prepared if someone comes back in a couple of years and says we ought to give it a go. You have to consider it.
"A lot of bands, like the Eagles and probably numerous other ones, everyone sort of matures and they realize that it's fantastic business and the impetuosity that comes with being very young and walking away from something that is really successful, you kind of get over that."
He said he doesn't expect it to happen, but "that's the model that's out there for me."

non-john: Perry on Lollapalooza and Jane's -- strawberry shortcake, 08:48:24 07/31/08 Thu [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Perry Farrell Explains Big-Name Lollapalooza Lineup, State of Janes Addiction
7/30/08, 4:32 pm EST
Radiohead, the specs and requirements for their show, it keeps getting taller and taller, says Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell, on the phone from Chicago. It used to be they would hang their trusses 40 feet up, now theyre going up 60 feet. Everythings getting bigger and wider. Lollapalooza, the summer rock-and-lifestyle staple begins its 2008 weekend on Friday and it too is growing. According to Farrell, the three-day, eight-stage, 120-plus act Lollapalooza 2008 is within a few tickets of selling out, a show that he estimates will be attended by 75,000 people.
Radiohead will kick off the first show of their U.S. tour at the festival alongside Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Kanye West, Wilco, Love and Rockets, the Raconteurs and Gnarls Barkley. Farrell credits his roster of heavy hitters to a changing music industry. It used to be that you had to count on a record cycle, he says. If you look through this [list of bands], its not exactly record cycle material. Four of the headliners are not signed to major labels. Amazing, right? Farrell says that spot-dates for a band like Rage makes more financial sense than an ungainly tour with no label support. Musicians have always been around the campfire, banging on stones with pieces of wood or bones. Were always gonna be around, we just want to make sure we have fun parties to play and lucrative places to show up and impress people.
So what about his own headline-grabbing band, Janes Addiction? Theyre currently free from major label shackles and reunited with bassist Eric Avery for the NME Awards in April, the first time the band has been intact since the months after headlining the first Lolla in 1991. Im not opposed to it like I used to be. I would cringe and spit at the floor if you would have asked me that last year, says Farrell. Every time we get together its just very volatile [After the NME Awards], all hell broke loose in my life and I couldnt sleep because we argue. But still, if I imagine us standing out on a stage in front of who knows how many people, getting down All that hell and effort and tumult still sounds worth it to me.
At this years Lolla, Farrell, along with a special guest will be doing a DJ set on Saturday afternoon at Perrys, a new dance venue on the site the Grant Park layout is so massive that for the first time Lolla is christening its own clubs on the grounds, including a microbrew beer garden called Ledehosens. We thought we could make places to drink where youre not just standing in line waiting for the next guy to get beer, says Farrell. [Perrys] is a bit of house music and DJ culture, but with booze and shade and art. The club holds probably 400 people easily. Its a place where you can listen to club culture music, but also get out of the sun for a moment and, uh, get boozed up.

non-john: CSNY Get The Finger!! -- strawberry shortcake, 09:36:56 07/29/08 Tue [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)

Neil Young's new film chronicles 2006 CSNY "Freedom of Speech" tour
Group was criticized frequently for playing Young's "Living With War" album
Young didn't want to back down, though he recalls experience as draining
Next Article in Entertainment
NEW YORK (AP) -- Not every musician will make a film that features a fan facing him from a concert audience with two arms raised, middle fingers extended -- more than one fan, in fact.
The quartet received a decidedly mixed reaction, says Young, with some audience members walking out.
2 of 2 Neil Young was singing protest songs on a "Freedom of Speech" tour with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash at the time. Ignoring that kind of nonverbal speech would contradict the message, wouldn't it?
It was an easy call. Using the nom de plume Bernard Shakey, Young directs "CSNY: Deja Vu," a film that uses the tumult surrounding CSNY's 2006 concert tour as a backdrop for exploring divisions in the country over the Iraq war. It opens in theaters on Friday.
Before the tour, Young had released "Living With War," the blunt anti-war album where he was backed by a full chorus on songs like "Let's Impeach the President." There was little mistaking his intentions; one of the film's funniest moments shows Young almost physically knocked back when a CNN reporter mentioned the song and asked him, "What's that song about?"
Young invited journalist Mike Cerre along to speak to members of the audience.
"The interviews we got were more positive than negative," Young told The Associated Press. "But we tried to represent the people who didn't come by, trying to equalize the positive and negative."
It wasn't hard to find unhappy fans at a handful of shows, most obviously in Atlanta. Many streamed out, or stayed to offer hand signals. Some had inexplicably expected a greatest-hits show. Young said he was blown away watching families fight, the children wanting to stay while their parents were eager to leave.
He also had narrators read from concert reviews, positive and negative. One critic said, "I don't want to be told how to think by four aging hippies." Another said CSNY wasn't interested in free speech, "just the kind they believe in."
Plainly, he had struck a nerve. No one likes seeing angry fans, but Young had no interest in backing down.
"Just because I'm famous doesn't mean that I work for the audience," he said. "I'm not obligated to do anything. I'm an artist. I will do what I want to do. Whatever the consequences ... I certainly hope that it's a civilized reaction."
Through Cerre's contacts, "Deja Vu" tells stories of people band members met along the way. The characters include songwriter Josh Hisle, now a performing musician after two tours of duty with the Marines in Iraq; Gold Star mother and anti-war activist Karen Meredith; and Patrick Murphy, an Iraq veteran who's now a freshman congressman from Pennsylvania.
The title "Deja Vu" is also a hint that Young seeks to draw connections to CSNY's activism against the Vietnam War roughly 40 years ago.
Young has resisted playing one of his best-known songs, "Ohio," about the shooting of anti-Vietnam War demonstrators in Kent State, because he didn't want to seem like he was exploiting the victims' memories. The song was dusted off and given new context in the "Freedom of Speech" tour.
When he released his album, Young had said it was a shame that someone older had to write those songs, implicitly criticizing the generation fighting the Iraq war. He's since been set straight, finding a lot of music addressing the topic was being made; it just hadn't found an outlet. Young now features a lot of it on his Web site, which keeps a constantly refreshed chart on which songs are being played the most.
Young never wants to do such a tour again, and not just because he hopes for peace.
"It's too draining and terrifying," he said. "I was committed to it ... and I followed it all the way through to the end, but it's very dangerous and it's not fun. Singing those songs every day and meeting the soldiers and meeting people who were crying about their lost loved ones every day? We did that ... but I don't want to spend the rest of my life replaying that."
The artists received death threats, although this point isn't raised in the film.
"It's not very positive and it doesn't reflect well on society," he said. "That's where I drew the line. I just did not want to play that up."
There's one touching moment in "Deja Vu" when Young gathers his fellow band members around and thanks them for watching his back. They were all committed to the cause, although Stills was the one displaying the most obvious ambivalence.
Stills has been fundraising for Democratic candidates for years, but being put in a daily situation facing angry fans was tough on him. "Stephen is a wonderful guy," Young said. "He just doesn't like to be not liked."
Young said he believed in everything said and done during the tour, but "I've moved on to what's the solution." He believes oil fuels many of the world's conflicts and is helping to finance researchers all over the world hoping to find alternative fuel sources.
He considers the period during when the Iraq war was new and dissent was seen to be non-patriotic to be a blight on the nation's history. Even if he's moved on, he doesn't want moviegoers to forget it.
"I hope that when they leave that they talk about it for a while, and that when they wake up the next day they still have some images from it in their mind," he said. "The rest is up to them."

Daltrey takes pride in The WhoStory Highlights
Roger Daltrey still amusingly frustrated with Pete Townshend's creative plans
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Roger Daltrey is smacking his head.
He's heard enough about how Pete Townshend was writing songs for a fresh album from the two surviving members of The Who. Or maybe Townshend is writing for another band. Or he isn't writing at all.
"Just let him get on with it. It's a cracked old record, isn't it?" Daltrey exclaims, leaning over to hit his forehead twice with an open palm. "Oh, it's all on, it's all off. Oh it's all on. It's been 35 years, I'm tired of it. What is the point? What is the point? Give me a break!"
Which isn't to say Daltrey, 64, has given up on the possibility of following their last studio album, the actually not-so-long-ago "Endless Wire," released in late 2006.
"I still feel that he still will come up with perhaps his best work," Daltrey said of Townshend in an interview with The Associated Press. "I still think that he's still got it in him. It's just whether he thinks that we're the instrument that he wants to do that on. Personally, I think he's mad to try and change it at this stage in his life. I mean, why fix something that's not broke?"
To prove the point, the band was the center of a tribute concert over the weekend in Los Angeles. Featuring performances from Tenacious D, Pearl Jam, The Flaming Lips and The Who themselves, it will air as a two-hour Rock Honors show Thursday night on VH1.
The auspicious set of contemporaries who gathered pleased Daltrey. Eddie Vedder had worked with him on charity events, and Daltrey said Tenacious D frontman Jack Black "should've been a rock star."
"When you look at Jack Black, whatever he's doing ... it just always reminds me of that first initial feeling I had when I heard Elvis Presley singing 'Heartbreak Hotel,' " Daltrey said, delivering a guttural growl. "Haah! What's that noise! Graaaawr! Yeah, just that enthusiasm."
Wearing tennis shoes with blue socks, Daltrey in person shows little of the wear and tear you'd expect in a rock veteran of the '60s. He looks ready to hit the gym, and whirls his way out of the interview room with a bottle of water in hand, not stopping to eat a single bite of the Japanese breakfast that had been ordered for him.
He puts his own energy into booking charity concerts, small acting roles and the occasional venture back out onto the road. The Who will be touring Japan and the U.S. this fall, including two November dates already set at downtown Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre.
Sure, it's been more than four decades since "My Generation." But the two aren't ashamed of sparking fans' nostalgia. In fact, Daltrey says the memories of drummer Keith Moon (who died in 1978) and bassist John Entwistle (dead since 2002) still resonate when he and Townshend perform.
"We're left with ... the way they played, the way we reacted to the way they played. So that kind of stays in our subconscious forever," Daltrey said. "But the communication on the sublevel between Pete and I is the same as ever.
"And that's the bit that I get off on. Not particularly the formatted stuff that's written. It's just when it flies off at an angle and you're jamming. Because when it comes out of the air, it's wonderful, man."
The result may not be timeless, exactly, but it ages gracefully.
"You listen to 'Won't Get Fooled Again,' it still could be a new band," Daltrey said. "It's almost as old as The Platters. They still sound great, but it sounds dated. There are still young bands making our kinds of music. And our music holds up well with those young bands."
Daltrey calls himself a fan of Scottish band The Fratellis and English acts Razorlight and Metro. He hasn't yet listened to Coldplay's latest release, and is looking forward to something new from Amy Winehouse.
"She's something very, very special," he said. "I'm bored ... of that album ('Back to Black'). And I hope she takes care of herself. She needs to really go and talk to some survivors. I'm sure she will."
Daltrey said he doesn't hear much about the U.S. presidential race in Britain but called Barack Obama the "obvious winner."
"Let's just hope to God he wins," he said. "Let's be honest, with the standing in the rest of the world of America today, with what George Bush has done to your country, it is inconceivable to me that Americans would vote in another Republican. It would be kind of really, really weird if they win again. You just sometimes wonder, what if, just what if (John) McCain did win. The signals that would send to the rest of the world!"
The Who recently licensed downloadable tracks for the video game "Rock Band." Daltrey said he tried it and got bored quickly. He laments the way technology has shifted how people regularly interact with music, saying the scrapping of long-play records signaled the death of the music industry.
"They've destroyed the form, as soon's it went digital. The CD was a confidence trick," Daltrey said. "It wasn't just music that people used to buy, it was a total art form. ... I think that's what people like. They like it personal. They like vinyl because if you scratch vinyl, it'll be scratched, but it'll be your scratch. It will only be on your record."
"Now for people, (music) is just not a big part of their lives. It's like background noise. There's just so much else going on, isn't there?" he said.
With a wistful but sly smile, Daltrey summons his own nostalgia for the time of "Baba O'Riley": "That's all we had was music. There was nothing else. There was cinema, music and sex. Life was better."

Award-winning comedian George Carlin diesStory Highlights
Carlin died Sunday of heart failure, his publicist said
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- George Carlin, the influential comedian whose routines used profanity, scatology and absurdity to point out the silliness and hypocrisy of human life, has died. He was 71.
Carlin performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas.
Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, died of heart failure Sunday in Los Angeles, according to publicist Jeff Abraham. Carlin went into St. John's Health Center on Sunday afternoon, complaining of chest pain, and died at 5:55 p.m. PT.
Carlin performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, and maintained a busy performing schedule, which included regular TV specials for HBO.
"He was a genius and I will miss him dearly," Jack Burns, who was the other half of a comedy duo with Carlin in the early 1960s, told The Associated Press.
Carlin was often quoted, his best lines traded like baseball cards. "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?" began one famous routine. Then there were the non-sequiturs: "The bigger they are, the worse they smell," he observed. He filled three best-selling books, several record albums and countless television appearances with his material.
He appreciated the impact his words made on fans.
"These are nice additional merit badges that you earn if you've left a mark on a person or on some people," he told CNN.com in 2004. "I'd say it's flattering, but flattery implies insincerity, so I call it a compliment."

But he was probably best known for a routine that began, "I was thinking about the curse words and the swear words, the cuss words and the words that you can't say." It was a monologue, known as "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television," that got Carlin arrested and eventually led to the Supreme Court.
The "Seven Dirty Words" bit, which was initially recorded for 1972's "Class Clown" album, prompted a landmark indecency case after New York's WBAI-FM radio aired it in 1973.
The case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the justices ruled 5-4 that the sketch was "indecent but not obscene," giving the FCC broad leeway to determine what constituted indecency on the airwaves.
"So my name is a footnote in American legal history, which I'm perversely kind of proud of," Carlin said. "In the context of that era, it was daring.
"It just sounds like a very self-serving kind of word. I don't want to go around describing myself as a 'groundbreaker' or a 'difference-maker' because I'm not and I wasn't," he said. "But I contributed to people who were saying things that weren't supposed to be said." Watch Carlin's 7 dirty words routine
Carlin, who was also an author, was slated to receive in November the 2008 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, given by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
"In his lengthy career as a comedian, writer and actor, George Carlin has not only made us laugh, but he makes us think," Kennedy Center Chairman Stephen Schwarzman said in a statement. "His influence on the next generation of comics has been far-reaching."
In a typically wry response, Carlin said, "Thank you, Mr. Twain. Have your people call my people."
Carlin hosted the first broadcast of "Saturday Night Live" in October 1975.
He played the character of Mr. Conductor on the PBS series "Shining Time Station" and starred in more than a dozen HBO specials. Carlin was also a regular on The Tonight Show.
He produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a couple of TV shows and appeared in several movies, from his own comedy specials to "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" in 1989, the AP reported.
He also starred in three of comedic director Kevin Smith's movie -- 1999's "Dogma," 2001's "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and 2004's "Jersey Girl." And his voice was so familiar and tuned to the craft of comedy that he was often asked to appear in cartoons, including Toon City's "Tarzan II," Disney's "Cars" and two episodes of "The Simpsons."
He won four Grammy Awards, each for best spoken comedy album, and was nominated for five Emmy awards, according to AP.

non-john: Neil Young's New Electric Car -- strawberry shortcake, 15:10:57 06/02/08 Mon [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Singer focuses energy on electric car
Neil Young seeks to convert his 1959 car to operate on an electric battery
WICHITA, Kansas (AP) -- Neil Young, the rocker who provided some of the soundtrack to Vietnam-era protests, is trying to change the world again -- with his car.
Neil Young wants to use his convertible as a template to make electric cars more mainstream.
Young has teamed up with Johnathan Goodwin, a Wichita mechanic who has developed a national reputation for re-engineering the power units of big cars to get more horsepower but use less fuel.
The two are looking to convert Young's 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible to operate on an electric battery.
Ultimately, they said, they want the Continental to provide a model for the world's first affordable mass-produced electric-powered automobile.
"Johnathan and this car are going to make history," Young told The Wichita Eagle.
"We're going to change the world; we're going to create a car that will allow us to stop giving our wealth to other countries for petroleum."
Young has poured about $120,000 so far into the project, Goodwin said.
What's more, the prototype power system worked during a 12-mile test drive of the car last week -- albeit with a few glitches.
The drive almost ended in disaster when Goodwin, who controls acceleration with a knob in the back seat, twisted it the wrong way while approaching an entrance ramp and the vehicle lurched toward the rear of another car.
Young, in the passenger seat, was able to hit the brakes in time.
"Still needs work," said Goodwin, 37.
Young, 62, said he came across taped interviews of Goodwin eight months ago on the Internet, including a segment for the MTV show "Pimp My Ride." Goodwin's clientele includes California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had Goodwin work on his Hummer.
Young said he set out wanting his car to be able to use biodiesel, but later asked Goodwin whether they could instead power it with batteries and use it as a template to make electric cars more mainstream.
"The technology to make a practical and affordable electric car has been around for a long time," Goodwin said. "There are all sorts of ways of doing it and all sorts of ways to work out how to make it work on a national scale."
For Young, the project may finally complete a mission he set for himself with his music.
"You know, I thought long ago you could change the world by writing songs," he said.
"But you can't change the world by writing songs. Oh, you can inspire a few people, get some of them to change their thinking about something. But you can't change the world by writing songs.
"But we could change it with this car."

non-john: Bo Diddley R.I.P. -- strawberry shortcake, 10:04:23 06/02/08 Mon [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Guitarist Bo Diddley dead at 79
(CNN) -- Bo Diddley, the musical pioneer whose songs, such as "Who Do You Love?" and "Bo Diddley," melded rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll through a distinctive thumping beat, has died. He was 79.
Rock 'n' roll pioneer Bo Diddley influenced generations of guitarists.
Diddley died Monday, surrounded by family and loved ones at his home in Archer, Florida, a family spokeswoman said.
The cause was heart failure, his family said.
The world-renowned guitarist's signature beat -- usually played on an equally distinctive rectangular-bodied guitar -- laid the foundation for rock 'n' roll, and became so identified with him that it became known as the "Bo Diddley" beat. It was unlike anything else heard in pop music. iReport.com: Share your memories of the legend
"This distinctive, African-based 5/4 rhythm pattern (which goes bomp-bomp-bomp bomp-bomp) was picked up by other artists and has been a distinctive and recurring element in rock 'n' roll through the decades," according to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
Guitarist George Thorogood, a Diddley disciple, put it more bluntly.
"[Chuck Berry's] 'Maybellene' is a country song sped up," Thorogood told Rolling Stone in 2005. " 'Johnny B. Goode' is blues sped up. But you listen to 'Bo Diddley,' and you say, 'What in the Jesus is that?' "
Among the artists who made use of the Bo Diddley beat were Buddy Holly ("Not Fade Away," later covered by the Rolling Stones), Johnny Otis ("Willie and the Hand Jive"), the Yardbirds (covering Diddley's "I'm a Man" and adding their own guitar stylings to the closing bars, which were later incorporated into the Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction"), the Strangeloves ("I Want Candy"), Bruce Springsteen ("She's the One"), U2 ("Desire") and George Michael ("Faith"). Hundreds of artists have covered Diddley songs.
His debut single was his self-titled 1955 classic, with "I'm a Man" as its B-side. The songs were released on Chicago's Chess-Checker Records label, also the home of Chuck Berry and Willie Dixon.
"It was the first in a string of groundbreaking sides that walked the fine line between rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll," his Hall of Fame biography says.
Diddley was also a pioneer of the electric guitar, tweaking his instruments and adding a variety of effects to his recordings.
A contemporary of Berry, Fats Domino and Elvis Presley, Diddley cut a stylish figure on the rock 'n' roll landscape. With his guitar, dark glasses and black hat, he looked vaguely menacing; his music was much earthier and bluesier than that of his rock 'n' roll contemporaries.
However, Diddley wasn't above climbing on bandwagons in search of wider popularity; his early 1960s albums included such titles as "Bo Diddley Is a Gunslinger," "Bo Diddley's a Twister," "Bo Diddley's Beach Party" and "Surfin' with Bo Diddley."
Eventually, Diddley returned to his roots and became a rock 'n' roll elder statesman. He was featured in the Thorogood video "Bad to the Bone," playing pool with Thorogood, and showed up during the Nike "Bo Knows" campaign starring Bo Jackson.
At the conclusion of a Nike commercial that showed Jackson excelling at a variety of sports, the athlete picked up a guitar and produced a squall of noise. Cut to Diddley, listening to the attempt: "Bo, you don't know Diddley," he said.
"I never could figure out what it had to do with shoes, but it worked," Diddley told The Associated Press. "I got into a lot of new front rooms on the tube."
Diddley was born Ellas Otha Bates in McComb, Mississippi, later taking the name McDaniel after being adopted by his mother's cousin. Diddley's family moved to Chicago when he was 7, according to his Hall of Fame biography.
He played violin as a child, but said he was inspired to pick up the guitar after hearing John Lee Hooker's 1949 rhythm and blues hit, "Boogie Chillen."
He told many stories of how he got the name "Bo Diddley." In a 1999 interview, he said it came from his childhood friends, according to AP. Other tales included a one-string instrument from traditional blues called a diddley bow, the AP notes.
Either way, it became his own -- as did his music.
"I don't like to copy anybody. Everybody tries to do what I do, update it," he told the AP. "I don't have any idols I copied after."
"They copied everything I did, upgraded it, messed it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing, they have to put a little bit of Bo Diddley there," he said.
He continued to tour well into 2007, but suffered a stroke last May and a heart attack in August.
He was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in January 1987.
Though he was upset that he never received the financial rewards he expected -- "I am owed," he told the AP, adding "a dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun" -- he reflected modestly on the rock 'n' roll revolution he helped start.
"Well, it's no different from anything else, I guess. I started sumthin'. I just happened to be the first one," he told the British magazine Uncut in 2005. "But I never thought it would turn into what it did. Somebody had to be first, and it happened to be me."

non-john: Radiohead Can't Hear Their Own Song!! -- strawberry shortcake, 11:55:18 05/30/08 Fri [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Radiohead to Prince: Hey, that's OUR song
Prince sang Radiohead's "Creep" at Coachella
WASHINGTON (AP) -- After word spread that Prince covered Radiohead's "Creep" at Coachella, the tens of thousands who couldn't be there ran to YouTube for a peek. Everyone was quickly denied -- even Radiohead.
Radiohead was pleased Prince had covered "Creep." But who has the right to put online?
All videos of Prince's unique rendition of Radiohead's early hit were quickly taken down, leaving only a message that his label, NPG Records, had removed the clips, claiming a copyright violation. But the posted videos were shot by fans and, obviously, the song isn't Prince's.
In a recent interview, Thom Yorke said he heard about Prince's performance from a text message and thought it was "hilarious." Yorke laughed when his bandmate, guitarist Ed O'Brien, said the blocking had prevented him from seeing Prince's version of their song.
"Really? He's blocked it?" asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not. "Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment."
Yorke added: "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our ... song."
YouTube prohibits the posting of copyrighted material. If the site receives a complaint from a copyright owner, it will in most cases remove the video(s). Whether the same could be done for a company not holding a copyright is less clear, but Yorke's argument would seem to bear some credence according to YouTube's policies. YouTube, which is owned by Google, declined to comment.
Minnesota-grown rock star Prince also did not respond to a request for comment Thursday.
The dispute was an interesting twist in debates over digital ownership, held between two major acts with differing views on music and the Internet. Radiohead famously released their most recent album, "In Rainbows," as a digital download with optional pricing. They also have a channel on YouTube.
Prince, who founded NPG Records in 1993, has been innovative when it comes to music distribution, too. He released his 1997 album, "Crystal Ball," on the Internet and in 2006 was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Webbys. In 2007, he gave away copies of his disc "Planet Earth" in a British Sunday newspaper.
But the Purple One has also shut down his official Web site and in September of last year said he would sue YouTube and eBay for not filtering unauthorized content.
Prince fans have organized to urge him to relent in his legal fights to control images and photographs of himself. As of Thursday, the most popular YouTube clip about Prince playing "Creep" is an expletive-laden rant from Sam Conti Jr., who describes himself as a "former Prince fan."

non-john: Radiohead -- strawberry shortcake, 14:32:03 05/27/08 Tue [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Hit band done with the music biz 'machinery'
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The breakthrough for Radiohead on "Reckoner" -- a song that underwent multiple incarnations on its way to "In Rainbows" -- came by way of what Jonny Greenwood calls a "big percussion fest."
The members of Radiohead say they're feeling much looser since ending their label ties.
Recording in an English country house, all five members of the group make a loud, cathartic racket -- a habit-busting trick the band has practiced since primary school, says bassist Colin Greenwood.
"And I'm happy to say that success hasn't changed us at all," joked Jonny Greenwood, who would rather leave the percussion to Phil Selway's drums and Thom Yorke's rhythm guitar.
Whether through the primal release of a "big percussion fest" or by severing ties with its record label, Radiohead is giving the distinct impression of a band that has exorcised something.
Since self-releasing "In Rainbows" as a pay-what-you-want digital download last fall, Radiohead has moved quickly with the tilt of innovation. They surprised fans with intimate webcasts; they offered one track, "Nude," in stripped down audio pieces for anyone to remix; they held a surprise concert so crowded that police insisted they move along.
On their seventh album, particularly on songs like the falsetto-rich R&B ballad "House of Cards" and the languorous "Nude," the music reflects the same sense of freedom. The prevailing tone of the new material is -- gasp! -- a melodic warmth.
And this is a drastic change for what many consider the gloomiest band on the planet.
Meet the born-again Radiohead.
------
In a recent two-part interview with the band -- first with the Greenwood brothers and Selway, second with Yorke and guitarist Ed O'Brien -- a lightness was unmistakable. Much funnier than you'd expect, the quintet bemusedly contemplate wearing Speedos while shuffling into a Washington, D.C., hotel room.
They had just performed in nearby Virginia, where torrential rain caused flooding and enormous traffic jams around the Nissan Pavilion. In the apocalyptic downpour, Radiohead functioned as a hearth, exuding their newfound glow.
Five shows into the first leg of their North America tour, they played confidently. At one point, Yorke urged the soaked crowd to "cuddle," an unthinkable prospect for a Radiohead concert.
Tuneful beauty has always been part of Radiohead songs (like the "rain down" climax in "Paranoid Android"), but such moments have seldom been allowed to linger. Asked the origins of the new mood, Yorke is as clueless as anyone.
"I don't know where it came from, to be honest," said the 39-year-old singer, laughing heartily. "I think ('In Rainbows') has its moments of fraught tension, like 'Bodysnatchers' obviously. But it ends up in a good space. It starts off pretty anxious, but the end of 'All I Need,' by that point, everything is like, 'Ahhh' -- getting it out of your system."
When the band completed 2003's "Hail to the Thief," they essentially got what O'Brien calls the "machinery" of the music industry out of their system. Their six-album deal with EMI Music Group expired and they declined all suitors for a new deal.
The band was at a crossroads and low on energy. They were disappointed by "Hail to the Thief," which they felt was unfinished.
"What was great about 'Kid A' was that it heralded a new period and it meant we went off in some cool new places," said O'Brien, 40. "But the downside was that in the whole period up until the end of 'Hail to the Thief,' we picked up some nasty habits."
The band, of whom all but O'Brien still live in their hometown of Oxford, had progressed steadily into more experimental territory after their 1993 debut "Pablo Honey" and the classic guitar rock follow-up, 1995's "The Bends." The unparalleled "OK Computer" (1997) elevated them to worldwide fame, but didn't tame them. 2000's "Kid A" and its companion piece "Amnesiac" followed.
The outwardly political "Hail to the Thief," something of a return to guitar-based rockers, was the first sign that Radiohead's path had become confused. Afterward, the band members occupied themselves with their families. Yorke released a solo album, "The Eraser" in 2006.
"We were going along in a certain trajectory and then suddenly with 'Hail to the Thief,' it was: we can't carry along in that way anymore," said Yorke. "To me the hardest thing was finding a reason to carry on."
------
As unified as "In Rainbows" sounds, it took years to complete. The band began recording it with producer Mark Stent, the first time in years they didn't work with Nigel Godrich.
The attempt was futile and Radiohead set out on tour to help bring the new songs into shape. When they returned to the studio, they went back to Godrich, considered the unofficial sixth member because of his importance in helping refine the group's sound. (Colin calls his wealth of gear "like Aladdin's cave.")
"The key thing in actually propelling it forward was Nigel coming back into the process," said Selway, 41. "The reality when we got in there was it still wasn't good enough. We really had to raise our standards quite a lot."
Typically, songs begin with Yorke writing something on piano or guitar with vocals and fleshing it out with the multi-instrumentalist Jonny Greenwood. Then the band works together to find the right arrangement, a process that can be tortuous. "Videotape" underwent, Yorke jokes, hundreds of versions before finding the right minimalist sound.
"We still sometimes get overawed by the songs," said Greenwood. "We'll get very attached to a song as an idea in its very basic form, but we also know we can't really leave it like that. So that's what we spend our time talking about and planning and thinking about. Thom will sit and play 'Pyramid Song' on piano, for example, and it's obviously not finished. It needs a rhythm to propel it along. But what do you do with it and yet not mess it up? So that's the sort of enjoyable pressure we like to be under."
Though the method of release overshadowed the music of "In Rainbows" somewhat, it's been almost universally hailed as a masterpiece. Yorke has been quoted as calling it "our classic album, our 'Transformer,' our 'Revolver,' our 'Hunky Dory' " -- a statement he said is a misquote: "I do talk some ... but I didn't say that."
His point, he said, is that they strove to make a similarly concise work as those albums.
"In Rainbows" may be a departure, but it's unmistakably Radiohead. Yorke is still singing about disconnection between people, which he cheerfully acknowledges: "It's part of my repertoire. It's what I do. Some people go and work at something they don't like, others talk about disconnection a lot."
But the album still feels apart from the old Radiohead story line. For the first time, they don't sound self-conscious. The band says it all starts with being free of a record contract. (The album was also released traditionally on January 1 by ATO imprint TBD Records, topping the sales charts that week. The band has declined to release sales figures for the download.)
"When we weren't signed to EMI and didn't have a contract, that threw up all this mad(ness)," said Yorke. "In a way, your possibilities are endless and limitless and meaningless. You actually suddenly have -- I don't know why, it doesn't make sense -- but there was a complete lack of connection with our past."
------
The band has called the digital giveaway a "one-off" experiment, but they've also re-examined other ways they conduct business. They last year commissioned a report from the company Best Foot Forward to judge the carbon and ecological footprint of their touring.
Any adjustments are in the early stages, but the band has posted messages on their Web site urging fans to car pool to concerts. They caution that music is at the heart of any new endeavors.
And as might be expected for the ever forward-looking Radiohead, new songs are already in the works, though they are still just "on guitars," says Jonny Greenwood. He only hints that the songs explore "absurd musical ideas."
"When you hear Thom and Jonny in the soundcheck and they've come up with something and start playing it, it's good to hear," said O'Brien.
The process of finding the right instruments for the songs will soon begin. Greenwood would like to even throw a banjo into the mix, but said he gets "level looks" from his bandmates whenever he brings it out. "There's a ban on banjos," said his 38-year-old brother.
"What's interesting to me is very old technologies like orchestras and pianos and things and how they meet modern recording and treatment techniques," said Greenwood, 36, who also does classical work on the side, including the buzzing, unforgettable score to "There Will Be Blood."
Radiohead will tour Europe in June and July before returning for the second leg of their North America tour, which will kick off August 1 at the Lollapalooza Festival.
In the meantime, Yorke -- who said he still considers the album "the most satisfying format" -- has already envisioned the next innovation to deploy when they have new music to release.
"Let's leave it on the street corner with a little sign," Yorke jokes as excitement sweeps over his face. "Now that's a good idea! I like that idea. With a little photo on the Web: 'It's here.' A couple of clues. A little doggie bag."

No one really comes here, and obviously for good reason since the years of flame wars drove everyone away (although that seems to happen on other sites without our aid), and I'm not sure I want to keep this going.
I know some time ago I asked this but then traffic picked up and I decided to keep it going.
But it doesn't seem as though we're going to get much bigger than this.

non-john: Phil Spector To Go Back On Trial -- strawberry shortcake, 13:26:21 05/23/08 Fri [1] (awfnt.awf.org/66.89.54.170)
Phil Spector To Be Re-Tried For Murder
May 22, 2008, 10:05 PM ET
Dan Whitcomb, Reuters
A Los Angeles judge today (May 22) set a September date for pioneering rock producer Phil Spector's second trial on charges that he murdered actress Lana Clarkson in the foyer of his mock castle in 2003.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Larry Fidler ordered Spector to stand trial beginning on Sept. 29 in the high-profile case.
The jury in Spector's first trial deadlocked 10-2 in favor of a guilty verdict in September 2007, forcing Fidler to declare a mistrial, but prosecutors immediately said they would bring the case again.
Most of Spector's defense team quit in October, causing delays in the retrial. The new defense team is seeking to have Fidler removed from the case, claiming he is biased against the 68-year-old rock producer.
Clarkson, 40, was found dead of a gunshot to the mouth early on the morning of February 3, 2003, after Spector's driver called police to say that the record producer had killed someone.
Prosecutors say Spector shot Clarkson while trying to prevent her from leaving. They called a series of witnesses to testify that Spector had a history of brandishing guns at women when he was drunk and said forensic evidence indicated that the Colt Cobra .38 special revolver went off accidentally after he jammed it in Clarkson's face.
Defense attorneys countered that Clarkson, best known as the star of such B-movies as "Amazon Women on the Moon" and "Barbarian Queen," had been depressed and may have killed herself.
Spector did not take the witness stand in his own defense. He told a magazine interviewer early on in the case that Clarkson committed suicide for reasons he could not grasp.
After a five-month trial in 2007, the jury deliberated for 12 days before telling the judge that they were hopelessly deadlocked and could not reach a unanimous verdict.

O/T - Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape surfaces -- Foxy Lady, 08:27:52 05/15/08 Thu [2] (adsl-69-234-185-17.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net/69.234.185.17)
From: Contactmusic.com
A 40-year-old sex tape featuring guitar great JIMI HENDRIX has been unearthed by a rock memorabilia collector.
The unnamed collector has passed the saucy footage, which features a headbanded Hendrix frolicking with two brunettes, to the bosses of porn video giant Vivid Entertainment, who are set to release the film on DVD.
Vivid officials went to infamous rock groupie Cynthia Plaster Caster, who once set Jimi's penis in a plaster mold, to make sure that the guy in the sex film was the late rock icon.
She says, "No doubt about it... That's Jimi Hendrix's d**k, and I should know."
The groupie actually compares her Hendrix mold to the penis in the sex tape as part of the film.
Cynthia and another famous groupie, Pamela Des Barres provide commentary on the new DVD, Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape.
Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch is convinced the new film will be a hit: "This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star. He could clearly play more than just his guitar."

CSNY docu headed for theaters
Wed May 14, 2008 8:47am EDT
CANNES, France (Hollywood Reporter) - Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions are finalizing a deal for U.S. rights to the politically charged Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young documentary "CSNY -- Deja Vu."
Fortissimo Films, which acquired the film from Shangri-La, has sold rights to 15 more international territories.
The feature, directed by Neil Young, chronicles the rock group's 2006 Freedom of Speech tour in support of Young's "Living in War" album.
The anti-Iraq War theme and songs like "Let's Impeach the President" increasingly polarized audiences as the band traveled through the U.S. Interviews with soldiers and others affected by the war are intercut with the concert footage.
When the film premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival, the band members expressed a desire to release it before the November elections in order to encourage debate. The proposed deal would certainly get it seen.
In July, Roadside will release it theatrically in 15 cities, with Lionsgate handling a simultaneous nationwide video-on-demand release and, via potential partner Netflix, streaming video. The DVD will be released shortly before the elections through the band's label, Reprise, with HDNet in talks to air the film on the same date.
Fortissimo already has sold the film to Australia, Europe, Israel, Japan and Latin America. Cinetic is handling North American sales.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Velvet Revolver founding members Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner announced today that they are parting ways with singer Scott Weiland. "This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn't 100% committed to either," said Slash. "Among other things, his increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on."
This sucks!!
I am so glad I had the opportunity to see them live in Baltimore last year. That is a memory I will take with me to the end of my days. The band will not be the same without Scott.
In lighter news: STP IS BACK TOGETHER, BITCHES!!!!
love to all,

non-john: Stone Temple Pilots May Tour This Summer! -- strawberry shortcake, 09:36:23 04/01/08 Tue [1] (awfnt.awf.org/74.95.90.209)
Stone Temple Pilots Plotting Extensive Tour
March 31, 2008, 5:45 PM ET
Mitchell Peters, L.A.
The recently reunited Stone Temple Pilots can add a full-fledged summer amphitheater tour to its previously announced U.S. festival dates, Billboard.com has learned.
Details are still coming together, but a source close to the alt-rock band says STP will play more than 50 shed dates this summer and into fall, beginning with the Rock on the Range festival on May 17-18 at Columbus, Ohio's Columbus Crew Stadium.
Among the handful of other STP dates already announced are May 23 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as part of the Indy 500 and the 2008 Edgefest on July 12 in Toronto.
Further details about STP's upcoming tour will be announced during an April 7 press conference at the Harry Houdini Estate in Los Angeles. Sources say that Los Angeles-based Live Nation will produce many dates on the upcoming trek. It is still unclear whether or not the band will record new material.
Rock on the Range will be Stone Temple Pilots' first show since 2002. Scott Weiland is about to conclude a European tour with his post-STP band Velvet Revolver, but he and drummer Matt Sorum have taken their feud public, casting the outfit's future into doubt.
STP broke up in late 2002; the band's last album was the previous year's "Shangri-La Dee Da." In 2002, the rock act grossed nearly $1.3 million from 13 concerts that drew approximately 42,000 concertgoers.

Smashing Pumpkins sue record label Story Highlights
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Smashing Pumpkins are suing Virgin Records, saying the record label has illegally used their name and music in promotional deals that hurt the band's credibility with fans.
The Smashing Pumpkins says their credibility has been harmed by Virgin's promotional deals.
In a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, the rockers said they have "worked hard for over two decades to accumulate a considerable amount of goodwill in the eyes of the public," and that Virgin's use of the band in a "Pepsi Stuff" promotion with Amazon.com and Pepsi Co. threatens their reputation for "artistic integrity."
Virgin released the Smashing Pumpkins' music for more than 17 years, but the only active agreement between the two parties, the lawsuit claims, is a deal granting Virgin permission to sell digital downloads of the band's songs. The agreement does not give Virgin the right to use the band in promotional campaigns to sell outside products, the lawsuit said.
The band members said they would "never grant such authority to Virgin, or any other entity."
An after-hours call to Virgin Records wasn't immediately returned.
The lawsuit demands that Virgin pay with the profits earned in the promotion and asks for an injunction against using the Pumpkins' name or music in the future

John-
We all just wanted to shout out 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!' to you and let you know how much we love you and the beautiful music that you put into the air for all of us to hear. You've been lying low since the end of the last tour but that's cool: we all know you like to keep busy and we can't wait to hear what you've been cooking up on your 'down time' away from the band. We are sure our hearts and minds will melt.
We love you, John. Your music has touched each and every one of us here. Your music has made us believe in love and life and knowledge and spirit. You may not believe this but it has even saved lives. It has even brought people together in love. For all of this and more, we love you John and we thank you for being a part of this world. Thank you for loving yourself, thank you for loving us and know that you are deeply loved in return by each and every one of us.
Happy Birthday, John!
Love Always,
The Been Insaners

non-john: Weiland Gets Busted With A DUI -- strawberry shortcake, 10:43:01 12/13/07 Thu [2] (awfnt.awf.org/74.95.90.209)
Weiland: Denied by Japan; Arrested in America
by Joal Ryan
Japan's probably feeling a little psychic right about now.
The week after Velvet Revolver announced the Japanese leg of its tour was off because the Asian nation had "tak[en] exception with the backgrounds of various band members," lead singer Scott Weiland was busted for DUI.
The Nov. 21 arrest, the latest for the oft-arrested, oft-rehabbed rocker, was uncovered Monday by TMZ.com.
Weiland, 40, is due in a Los Angeles court Dec. 13 to answer to the misdemeanor charge.
Velvet Revolver's management said Monday that Weiland denies driving under the influence, and believes a Breathalyzer test will show his blood-alcohol level was "well within the legal limit."
"He is anxious to get to court...and clear this matter up," the statement said.
It was on Nov. 16 that Weiland's band announced it had been denied visas for four scheduled Japan dates, Nov. 26-30.
"The increasingly tough Japanese immigration officials are taking exception with the backgrounds of various band members, which have included arrests," the band said on its Website.
Five days later, on the night before Thanksgiving, Weiland's 2006 Mercedes CLS tagged a 2005 Chrysler Sebring on an offramp of the northbound 170 Freeway at 6:18 p.m. on Nov. 21, according to the California Highway Patrol. There were no injuries; the cause of the crash is still under investigation, CHP Officer Leon Hines said.
As authorities combed the scene, according to the CHP, Weiland "exhibited signs of impairment."
"The investigating officer administered a series of field sobriety tests to the driver [Weiland], which he was unable to satisfactorily perform," the CHP arrest report said.
Weiland was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of an unspecified drug about an hour and a half after the accident. He was booked later that night at an L.A. County jail, where the CHP said he declined an invite to provide a blood or urine sample.
With bail set at $40,000, Weiland was sprung at noon on Thanksgiving Day, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department online records show.
Earlier, the band said it was appealing Japan's no-visas-for-you ruling.
Velvet Revolver hit the road in support of its hit album, Libertad, in August in Baltimore. The overseas dates proved the hardest to keep. After Japan ruled out a visit, Australia got shelved. The band announced last week that its five Down Under dates, scheduled to get rolling Tuesday, were being postponed until early next year. "Personal reasons"unrelated to the Weiland arrestwere cited by band management on Monday for the delayed Australia concerts.
Weiland has an arrest record dating back to his days as frontman for the Stone Temple Pilots. In 2003, he pleaded no contest to a DUI charge stemming from an arrest on his 36th birthday. In March, wife Mary Weiland got into the act when she was arrested for allegedly setting fire to her husband's clothes outside their L.A. home.
Weiland presumably will have a lot to tell when he sits down to write his tell-all. Like Slash, his Velvet Revolver bandmate, before him, the singer has inked a deal to write his autobiography.
If he can't make it to Japan in person, maybe he can make it there in book form.

non-john: Well, Duh! -- strawberry shortcake, 07:26:24 12/11/07 Tue [1] (awfnt.awf.org/74.95.90.209)
LONDON, England (AP) -- After that performance, Led Zeppelin really must go on tour.
The reunited rock 'n' roll legends were superb Monday in their first full concert in nearly three decades, mixing in classics like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Black Dog" with the thumping "Kashmir" and the hard-rocking "Dazed and Confused."
The band's three surviving members -- singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones -- were joined by the late John Bonham's son Jason on drums.
And it was the newest member of the band that was given the honor of kicking off the sold-out benefit show, pounding out the beat before the others joined in on a near-perfect "Good Times Bad Times."
After the lights went down at the O2 Arena, newsreel footage of the band arriving in Tampa, Florida, for a 1973 performance was projected onstage. Then Bonham jumped in, soon to be joined by the rest.
They followed that with "Ramble On," and with it destroyed all rumors that the 59-year-old Plant could no longer reproduce his trademark wail. Watch the group's scorching performance
With his button-down shirt mercifully buttoned up, Plant roamed the stage belting out hit after hit, rarely giving his critics anything to work with.
But Page showed he still has the touch as well. Besides ripping out his patented riffs all night, he put the spotlight on himself when the band played the bluesy "In My Time of Dying."
With his left hand moving freely up and down the neck of his guitar and the metal slide wrapped around one of his fingers, Page effortlessly played a song that's not easy to master.
Page and Plant later combined to open "Nobody's Fault But Mine," a song that starts with another classic Page riff and then gets help from Plant mimicking the same sounds.
Still, it was Bonham who may have been the star of the show. At 41, he is older than his father was -- 32 -- when he choked to death on his own vomit in 1980.
Bonham's flawless performance and driving beat even made the other members of the band watch in awe at the end of "Black Dog."
After "The Song Remains the Same," Plant screamed: "Jason Bonham, drums! Come on!"
The 16-song set list produced few surprises. They did many of the songs expected, such as "No Quarter" and "Trampled Under Foot," and the entire show lasted a bit more than two hours, mainly because of encores "Whole Lotta Love" and "Rock and Roll."
"It's quite peculiar to imagine ... to think about creating a dynamic evening choosing from 10 different albums. There are certain songs that have to be there, and this is one of them," Plant said in introducing "Dazed and Confused."
When Page's solo started midway through the song, many in the audience were wondering whether the guitar virtuoso would resort to his old tricks.
But after only a few seconds, the 63-year-old Page turned his back to the crowd and walked nonchalantly toward his amp. Once there, he pulled a cello bow off the top, and the fans again went wild.
They followed that with "Stairway to Heaven," the band's staple song, which many hardcore fans were hoping would be dropped from the set.
But the crowd still loved it, with many standing to dance as Page played on his double-necked guitar.
Reviewers were ecstatic.
"With a synergy like this going on, it would be an act of cosmic perversity to stop now," Pete Paphides of The Times of London wrote.
"They sound awesomely tight," Alexis Petridis wrote in Tuesday's The Guardian. David Cheal of The Daily Telegraph said the band's "familiar old sinew and swagger were still there."
Fans are hoping to get to hear them do it again, and soon.
Though this show is supposed to be one-time event, there have been rumors that if all went well, it would kick off a world tour.
Plant seemed to play down those rumors, saying he plans to tour with bluegrass star Alison Krauss, but Monday's performance will only add to the fervor of the fans to see them play more gigs.
The show was Led Zeppelin's first full set since 1980. Robbed of "Bonzo's" pulsing drums, the band decided it couldn't go on and split up on December 4, 1980.
Tickets for the show, a benefit for the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, were won in an Internet lottery. Proceeds are to go to the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which provides scholarships to universities in the United States, Britain and Turkey.
"Hey Ahmet, we did it!" Plant screamed after "Stairway."
Monday's concert wasn't the first Led Zeppelin reunion. The band played together in 1985 at Live Aid, and joined forces again three years later -- with Jason Bonham on drums -- to play at the 40th anniversary concert for Atlantic Records.
At their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 1995, they teamed up with other musicians for another short set.
The show was originally scheduled for November 26, but was postponed until Monday because Page injured the little finger on his left hand.
There were several opening acts rotating across the stage, mainly hosted by former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. E-mail to a friend
