Saw these guys a couple years ago. Remind me of Zep.
Wow! New music to add to my playlists. I get Ozzy vibes with this. Love it!I seriously love these guys and yes, yes they also remind me of Led Zeppelin. Another guy and band I can't get enough of is Wolfmother and their lead singer Andrew Stockdale.
Wolfmother - Sundial
I just heard this the other day at the Mexican restaurant my family and I ate at.Rubén Blades, "ganas" (a somewhat difficult-to-translate word, meaning at the same time: feeling like, wanting to, longing, desire and hunger).

Your post triggered a flashback. During the early 90s, I lived in LA. I hadn't heard of Tool until one day I got a knock on my door. At the time I was blasting PJ Harvey's Rid of Me a lot. When I opened up, this person I only knew as the guy who lived next door was standing there holding a CD. He said, "Hey, if you dig that you need to check out my band's new album. By the way, my name's Paul."Tool - Opiate

And that's how I got my copy of Undertow.
It was. A related story about dilemmas: this place was near an ornate, completely-closed-off-to-the-public building in Hollywood. Yep, the Scientology Celebrity Center. I'd pass by it pretty much every day, wondering what the hell went on in there. Then one afternoon I ran into Paul on the stairs.Not the Paul from the band was it?

"Hey man, you know that crazy Scientology place over there?"
"Yeah. I betcha Tom Cruise is there a lot because I see Nicole Kidman hanging out at (neighborhood coffee house) the Pig all the time."
"We got a gig there! Wanna be on the list?"
Of course, I immediately said yes. What I didn't tell him was that I also had tickets for Fugazi at the Palladium, also in our neighborhood, the same night. What to do?
Well, I got sort of lucky. Fugazi had a couple of openers before they played so I saw the first part of Tool's set. Then I high tailed it over to the Palladium, just in time for Fugazi to come on. I felt really torn at the time. But today I'm pretty sure that was the right thing to do because the Celebrity Center had a really weird vibe and there were a lot of cultists standing around in faux naval uniforms continuously staring at people there for the gig (I seem to remember hearing somewhere the Scientologists shut the show down once they saw who and what was happening in their gazebo/greenhouse thing) and Fugazi didn't make it out to the West Coast much.
Sadly, I never did get a chance to find out how to think more clearly or get a copy of Dianetics. Ooops! Not.
