Re: Zep/Weirdo-Rock connection...

["Debbie&Pieter" <p.kleij@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mortiis was once the bass player for Emperor, a Norwegian black
metal band who made some wonderful albums. Their former
drummer is still in jail for murder. This was going on when there was a lot
church burning etc. in Norway. In a book on the whole scene Zep is
mentioned as one of the major influences on black metal/Satanism.
Funny is was just thinking as i get a lot of music magazines at my job, to
put up a
weekly dose of name dropping Zep bands/people. There is a lovely quote from
Flea in Q or Mojo about hair-bands only taking the cock sucking macho thing
influence from Led Zeppelin.
