[kj] Anyway we can get KJ to play Austin's South by Southwest Music Fest this March!?

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Let's see.



Tedious, self-indulgent guitar.

Overblown vocals.
Pretentious lyrics.

I think you'll find that plenty of bands managed that.

Well, that was the point -- NO ONE took up that particular torch. Sure, lots of bands attempted -- everyone from Kingdom Come through the Mission through Soundgarden -- but there is only one Led Zeppelin.

Yeah Olly, ROCK THE FUCK UP! When you’re playing Led Zep records, you can always make the excuse that there’s a Killing Joke link that you need to explore…I promise I won’t tell anyone on Cult Punk that you’re listening to SYMPHONIC PROG ROCK COVERS (well at least for a couple of days that is)

 

So anyone willing to venture a comment as to who if anyone took the torch from Led Zep after they broke up?

yeah,i knew you would feel this way about the idear,
 
but again i stress--k.j riding on coattails of  ledzep,would get them more respect fpr doing that,than (as they did) with motly crud--!!
 
as a man of your knowledge and exsperience  oliver,of both music and with a purpose i am alarmed by your pairtinf thus those 2(mot..crud/zep ;( how very dare   bleeeep..............................
...
---as with the 3 bands in question k.j/ledzep/ and crud lol,i will put 3 different catorgorys
music with feeling/music with a purpose and
 music with no purpose at all really apart from arse and titilation----k.j and zep,fall into first two catorgorys ;D/
 
motly crud fall only into the last catorgory,there just a bunch of itis really,apppealing to people who are interested in nothing but tits ;D)))) !!!!

can you see now what i am getting at  ok zep have about 5 tracks in there vast back catologue of tunes,that will appealing to men being men,you get my meaning?good--every track of the muts cruds(motly crew)is there to appeal to men being men and some more  ;/
if you cannot see the similaritys between k.j and zep,then you either dont know  enough about k.j or enough about zep,i suspect it is the  latter,,try reading up on the zep a bit,inside the zep--to find out what they were about.
 
i have footage of when the damned appearing on marc boland show on vid,i know what you mean,those 2 groups were not similiar,either in dress or thought,but mysterially,as time moved on,i can kinda link a bit of a sililarity in style music wise,if only on a handful of tunes,between marc.b/t.rex  and the later damned of say--mid 80s onwards.
ppshere you go,judging anaudieance b.4 you have given them a chance to prove you wrong or right--i still think you are wrong on this one,and as long as you keep thinking,ledzep are motly crud mutt part 2,you will never change your mind about k.j and zep gig----move away from the image of zep/mutt crud forget it,there from 2 different mind sets completley..now visualise,k.j and ledzep.but go really learn about zep b.4 you do that ok ;) xx
