... but glam has to first be pretty boys and stage presence before music. Whitesnake had neither, except David Coverdale.
Bryon replied:
You don't seem to care too much for David Coverdale, do you? He's no Ian Gillan, but I think he's alright. I think most people never heard of
Whitesnake before their "Whitesnake" album, and if you watched the
videos for that, they could come across as glam.
I have friends who couldn't decide whether to call the Coverdale Page album White Zeppelin or Led Snake.
Bryon again:
My mistake, I was counting Cozy Powell as a Deep Purple member (I associate him with Blackmore and Rainbow and got them jumbled up).
For some twisted reason, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name Cozy Powell is the one album he did as the "P" in ELP. I know, I know, and please don't think I think it's anywhere near his best stuff. That's just the album where I actually became aware of his name, only to find out that he was in other groups I liked quite a bit better.
Yet More Bryon:
I did some googling and came across some surprising info (to me at least, which shows how out of the scene I've been)[snip]
- Cozy Powell died in 1998
- Deep Purple put out a whole batch of albums after the last one I
bought (House of Blue Light),...
- Iron Maiden has released a *slew* of albums since the last one I bought (Somewhere in Time), including a new one in October.
I've been lurking a bit lately over at alt.music.yes, and apparently they've also been keeping busy. I'm amazed how many bands from the 1970s and 1980s I've heard about recently that are touring and/or recording again.
Back to Kevin:
There was a band in the eighties that was practically a rip-off of Led Zeppelin and damn if I can think of their name now.
Over to Bryon:
Hmmm. Eighties Zep clone - maybe you mean The Cult? People have
told me they were a Zep clone, but I've never really heard any of their stuff.
Maybe Blue Murder? Or Kingdom Come? Or Great White, which I think I remember reading actually started out as a Zeppelin Tribute band called "The White?"
