They never went away and many of them are still going in one form or another , you are just not looking in the right place . But since Covid there are no gigs to go too . At least you have discovered Led Zeppelin , so many great albums and iconic songs . Not to mention Robert Plant`s other bands and solo career . At least you can begin to appreciate some decent music whilst you carry on dreaming of buying a C3 !Listening to classic rock and it sounds amazing on my headphones. What happened to rock bands? I never hear rock on the radio...
Van Halen - Jump and some Ratt songs and Led Zeppelin - Kashmir if anyone was wondering.
Need to burn a CD for the future C3.
, Oh & PF
I bet that was a blast playing on their home turf ! I met Robert Plant a few years back , he is still one cool guy in my book !"At least you have discovered Led Zeppelin , so many great albums and iconic songs ."
AHH my beloved LZ. Kashmir, brilliant.!
A few years back my younger brother, who's a drummer, told me he was going to try to get tickets for the last reunion, at the 02 I think, sadly without Bonzo. He was staggered when I told him I saw them at Birmingham town Hall in June1969. He was 10 & I was 15, guess I never mentioned it LOL
Ratt 1
Ratt 2
Poison
Tom Sawyer
I wanna be a rockstar so badly.
Chuffer, love everything you've said. I must say that I was invited to go by a guy I knew, slightly older, I think his name was Alan Parsons. He used to say, "fancy coming to, Pink Floyd, ELP, LZ, & others etc. I never had any money as I was still at school. So he got the tickets & he said pay me when you can. Not quite sure if I ever did,! LOL So a BIG thank you to him for my musical education. Also seen Stones at Wembley, Who at NEC & Nice at Bham.I bet that was a blast playing on their home turf ! I met Robert Plant a few years back , he is still one cool guy in my book !
Those were the days ! I have a T shirt that says " I might be old but at least I saw all the cool bands" . Says it all really
If I could relive my misspent youth , I would still misspend every second of it and then some !
All those great bands in the full flush of fame that I saw at gigs and Rock Festivals . When I was still working we had a young lass on work placement in between university breaks . We got talking about the bands that all her `cool` student mates were getting into . When I rattled off all the bands I had seen and that I was at the massive 250,000 strong crowd for the Rolling Stones free Hyde Park concert just after Brian Jones had died , I thought she was gonna go delirious ! She was straight on her mobile calling all her mates to say she was actually working with a guy who was at the Stones gig ! Kids eh ? they ain`t lived !!
Old rockers don`t fade away , they just grow old disgracefully ! Far out man
May the gods bless Auntie Doreen then , and good old `Bonzo ` Bonham too
I well remember the shock of hearing of his passing . Just like I know exactly what I was doing on 18th September 1970 when Jimi Hendrix died . I was hanging out in Bournemouth playing happy hippies with a couple of my mates and gorgeous blonde hippy chick called Anita that I picked up down there ! But that`s a story for another day 
If you aint got Tinitus you aint got it loud enough !FOGHAT
Sounds amazing on my headphones but my eardrums might explode because I can't help turning it all the way up.
A good trade off for having it loud in my opinion.If you aint got Tinitus you aint got it loud enough !
That wouldn`t be `the` Alan Parsons of the Alan Parsons Project perchance ? He would have been well connected !
Went through a door into a corridor, down corridor through a door into the gents through a door into a cubicle, it was STILL too LOUD!!!! I've got that Tinitus! LOL 
That thought did cross my mind sometime ago but No don't think so.
