Led Zeppelin — Mothership

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) November 13, 2007 9:46 am

If you know the rawk, you very likely know each and every one of these songs by heart...

By Dan Busheikin (CHARTattack) December 10, 2011 6:35 pm
“IMHO, Led Zepplin is the shittiest band of all time - certainly did more to ruin rock and roll than anyone. Had Led Zepplin never existed, rock and roll would have covered the earth by now and brought about a perfect utopia.”- Patrick Stickles, the always-vocal Titus Andronicus frontman, says what no rock 'n' roll artist would dare admit.

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 10, 2010 10:51 am
Deaths from overdosing are commonplace in the world of rock 'n' roll. But being hit in the head by a speedboat, choking on a ham sandwich or being shot to death on stage are far less commonplace. Former Electric Light Orchestra member Michael Edwards getting smushed last week was certainly a peculiar way to go out. So it got us thinking, "What...

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 20, 2010 2:18 pm
Here's a good one for 4/20: How many times have you sat there stoned, listening to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven," going "whoaaaaaaa, maannnnn," at Jimmy Page's solo. Do you frequently quote the song to your friends, mystifying the non-music obsessed among them when you start talking about "a bustle in your hedgerow...

Anvil: Winning Friends And Influencing People

in
By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) January 8, 2010 11:45 am
During their initial rise to fame in the '80s, Anvil went from surviving on Kraft Dinner and salami to sharing a stage with Bon Jovi and Whitesnake. It seemed they were going to make it big — and fast. Life had its way with the Toronto headbangers, however, and because of poor management and crappy timing, Anvil teetered over fame's razor edge...

John Bonham's Gong Sells

A gong is always a good thing to have around. It can be used to enhance impromptu home boxing matches, summon servants and comes in handy when you've run out of these. The only thing that could possibly add to the appeal of this ancient instrument would be if its previous owner happened to be a deceased rock god. (It would be a little...
