LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 16, 2020…ZZ TOP’S FIRST ALBUM BROKE ON THIS DATE WAY BACK IN 1971. HERE’S SOME INTERESTING ZZ TOP TRIVIA. THEY ARE THE LONGEST RUNNING AMERICAN ROCK BAND WITH NO MEMBER CHANGES. ALL THREE MEMBERS OF ZZ TOP WERE BORN IN 1949. THEY WERE ALL 19 YEARS OF AGE WHEN THEY FORMED THE GROUP. WHEN JIMI HENDRIX WAS ON ‘THE TONIGHT SHOW’, HE CALLED BILLY F. GIBBONS “ONE OF AMERICA’S BEST YOUNG GUITARISTS”. GIBBONS HAD WARMED UP FOR HENDRIX ON A NUMBER OF SHOWS. THEY ALSO OPENED UP FOR JANIS JOPLIN FOR A NUMBER OF SHOWS. ZZ TOP’S MANAGER WAS BILL HAM, AND WAS CONSIDERED THE GROUP’S 4TH MEMBER. HE ACTUALLY HELPED BANKROLL THIS FIRST ALBUM, AND PRODUCED ALL OF THE BAND’S ALBUMS UP TO 1996. HERE’S ZZ TOP IN CONCERT WITH OFFICIAL VIDEO FROM THEIR WEBSITE. BTW,THE VIDEO IS AN HOUR LONG ! WHEN I SAY ZZ TOP IN CONCERT , I REALLY MEAN ZZ TOP IN FREAKIN’ CONCERT.
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 16, 2020…FORTY TWO YEARS AGO THE SINGLE ‘POOR POOR PITIFUL’ ME WAS RELEASED BY LINDA RONSTADT. I’VE ALWAYS LOVED RONSTADT’S VOICE AND HER INTERPRETATION OF WARREN ZEVON’S SONG WAS PURE GOLD. WARREN ZEVON’S VERSION WAS A LITTLE MORE CRUDE AND RISQUE. HIS CHARACTER WAS A MESS AND TRIED COMMITTING SUICIDE BY PUTTING HIS HEAD ON THE TRACKS, BUT THE TRAIN STOPPED RUNNING. HE THEN MET A WOMAN AND ENGAGED IN A LITTLE S&M. RONSTADT’S VERSION IS GENDER REVERSED AND CLEANED UP A LITTLE. THE CHARACTER STILL FAILS AT SUICIDE, BUT ALL THE S&M REFERENCES WERE TAKEN OUT. HERE’S A GREAT VERSION OF ‘POOR POOR PITIFUL ME’ FROM 1996 WHEN SHE PERFORMED AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 15, 2020…THE SINGLE ‘I CAN’T EXPLAIN’ WAS RELEASED ON THIS DATE 55 YEARS AGO IN AMERICA. IT WAS THE FIRST SINGLE TO BE RELEASED BY THE GROUP UNDER THE NAME ‘THE WHO’. THEIR PREVIOUS SINGLE WAS ACTUALLY RELEASED UNDER THE NAME ‘THE HIGH NUMBERS’. HERE’S A BIT OF TRIVIA ON ‘I CAN’T EXPLAIN’. JIMMY PAGE OF LED ZEPPELIN CLAIMS TO HAVE PLAYED GUITAR ON THE SINGLE WHEN HE WAS DOING SESSION WORK. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY PETE TOWNSEND, HOWEVER, PAGE’S CONTRIBUTION IS SAID TO NOT HAVE MADE THE FINAL MIX !!! WTF !! HOW DO YOU CUT OUT JIMMY PAGE’S GUITAR WORK ?!?! HERE’S THE WHO WITH ‘I CAN’T EXPLAIN’ AND A VIDEO FROM 1971 WHEN THE BAND PERFORMED AT THE FILLMORE EAST.
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 15, 2020…TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN RONNIE VAN ZANT’S 72ND BIRTHDAY. VAN ZANT OF COURSE PASSED AWAY ON OCT 20,1977 WHEN THE PLANE CARRYING LYNYRD SKYNYRD CRASHED IN MISSISSIPPI. HE WAS ONLY 29 YEARS OLD. ACCORDING TO HIS BANDMATES AND FAMILY MEMBERS, RONNIE WOULD TELL THEM ALL THE TIME THAT HE “WOULD NEVER BE 30 YEARS OLD”, AND ACCORDING TO FORMER BANDMATE ARTIMUS PYLE HE SAID THAT “THE MAN KNEW HIS DESTINY’. SPOOKY STUFF. HERE’S AN ISOLATED TRACK OF RONNIE VAN ZANT SINGING “SIMPLE MAN”. ENJOY

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 14, 2020-TODAY DAVE GROHL TURNS FIFTY ONE. IS THERE ANYTHING THIS GUY CAN’T DO ? THINK OF IT, HE WAS THE DRUMMER FOR NIRVANA, AND THEN PICKS UP THE GUITAR AND FRONTS THE FOO FIGHTERS. PLUS HE TAKES ON A TON OF SIDE PROJECTS. HE WAS THE DRUMMER FOR QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, AND FRONTED THE DEATH METAL GROUP PROBOT. A LITTLE DAVE GROHL TRIVIA. HIS GREATEST INFLUENCE IN MUSIC WAS JOHN BONHAM. HE EVEN HAS THE LED ZEPPELIN DRUMMER’S TRADEMARK THREE CIRCLE LOGO TATTOOED ON HIS RIGHT TESTICLE.
HERE’S A FULL FOO FIGHTERS CONCERT FROM RIO
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 14, 2020-WHEN IT COMES TO HEAVY METAL GUITARISTS, ZAKK WYLDE IS LARGER THAN LIFE. THIS GUY CAN SHRED ON GUITAR. HE WAS A 20 YEAR OLD UNKNOWN WHEN HE JOINED OZZY’S BAND IN 1987. SINCE 1990 HE’S FRONTED HIS OWN GROUP BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, AS WELL AS ZAKK SABBATH. WHEN WYLDE LAUNCHED BLACK LABEL SOCIETY IN 2006 HE WAS THE HEADLINER ON THE 2ND STAGE AT OZZFEST, THEN HE WOULD DO DOUBLE DUTY AND PLAY WITH OZZY ON CERTAIN DATES. MAYBE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY HE’LL GET ANOTHER OF HIS BULLS EYE DESIGNED GUITARS. HAPPY 53RD BIRTHDAY ZAKK WYLDE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THIS YEAR AT BONE BASH AS OZZY’S GUITARIST.
HERE’S A GREAT VERSION OF WAR PIGS. ZAKK WYLDE WITH ZAKK SABBATH
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 14, 2020-29 YEARS AGO TEMPLE OF THE DOG RELEASED THE SONG ‘HUNGER STRIKE.’ TEMPLE OF THE DOG WAS A SUPERGROUP PUT TOGETHER BY CHRIS CORNELL IN 1990. CORNELL FORMED THE BAND IN HONOR OF HIS FRIEND ANDREW WOOD WHO DIED OF A HEROIN OVERDOSE. WOOD WAS KEPT ALIVE FOR 3 DAYS ON LIFE SUPPORT, AND WHEN CORNELL AND HIS BANDMATES WENT TO VISIT HIM THEY THOUGHT THAT A ONE OFF ALBUM WOULD BE A FITTING TRIBUTE. THE ALBUM WOULD CONTAIN WOOD’S SOLO SONGS, ALONG WITH 2 SONGS WRITTEN BY CORNELL. RESPONDING TO CONCERNS THAT THEY WERE SOMEHOW EXPLOITING WOOD’S WORK, THEY DECIDED INSTEAD TO RELEASE AN ALBUM OF ALL ORIGINAL MATERIAL, AND CALLED THE PROJECT TEMPLE OF THE DOG. ‘HUNGER STRIKE’ WAS THE LAST SONG RECORDED FOR THE ALBUM ON THE DAY EDDIE VEDDER FLEW IN TO SEATTLE TO MEET HIS NEW BANDMATES IN WHAT WOULD BECOME PEARL JAM. CORNELL HAD HOPED TO SING THE HIGH AND LOW PARTS OF THE SONG HIMSELF AND JUST OVERDUB THE VOCALS. BUT HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH THE LOW REGISTER. VEDDIE STEPPED UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND IT MADE IT CLICK FOR CORNELL. IT ALSO MARKED THE FIRST RECORDED VOCAL FOR VEDDER ON A MAJOR RECORD. HERE’S ‘HUNGER STRIKE’ FROM TEMPLE OF THE DOG
