MJ :(

The King is dead. I believed he was immortal. :( I don't know what to say... He was always out there someplace. It's like one of your most important belonging is lost.. Pop music's king is gone now, and I hope Queen Madonna is immortal...

Crazy July!

One of the craziest July is coming here for Turkey.. Especially for rock-listeners, big concerts are coming...
4th of July : Dream Theater (date is just a coincidence?)
18-19th of July : Rock'n Coke Fest (Linkin Park, Prodigy, NIN, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight, Jane's Addiction, Juliette Lewis)
20th of July : Deep Purple!!!!

I'm so excited it makes me sick :D

FRG 2 : Jimmy Page

James Patrick Page (born in 1944, same age with my father :D) is one of the most influential rock guitarists. Known as the guitarist of "Led Zeppelin", but he started his career as a session musician, jamming on stage at "The Marquee Club" in London with people like Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.

When Clapton decided to quit the band "Yardbirds", Page (as a bassist first) and Beck joined. Then when Beck gone, Page climbed to the lead guitarist position (in Little Games album). In 1968, only Page and John Paul Jones (remember, right? :)) was remaining from the old band. Then Page recruited Robert Plant for the vocals and John "Bonzo" Bonham for the drums and the group renamed itself as "The New Yardbirds" then again to "Led Zeppelin".

"Ultimately, I wanted Zeppelin to be a marriage of blues, hard rock and acoustic music topped with heavy choruses - a combination that had never been done before."

When Bonzo died in 1980, Led Zeppelin was over. Page and Plant worked together as "Page&Plant" from that day forward. I personally want them to regroup at least for a day and I can see my favourite band alive..

P.S. This post seems to be a Led Zeppelin post more than a Jimmy Page post. Sorry about that :D The reason is my fanatism of Zeppelin, I think...

FRG 1: Jimi Hendrix

James Marshall Hendrix (1942-1970) is considered to be the greatest rock guitarist of all time. In my opinion, he is the very first of the electric guitar virtuosos.

He was influenced by blues guitarist such as B.B. King and Muddy Water so his sound is rather bluesy. But he is also experimental, the first one to use stereo "phasing" effects on guitar. Famous of playing "Star Spangled Banner" in Woodstock '69, using drugs especially LSD and amphetamines even on stage and mostly his "lefty" Stratocaster. It was in fact a regular right-handed Strat but he prefers to restring it and use it as a lefty one. This had an important effect on his guitar sound; because of the slant of Strat's bridge pickup, his low-E string has a bright sound while his high-E has a mellow one.

He was a real show-man on stage. Playing his guitar with his teeth or on his back.

Died in London, Notting Hill on September 18, 1970. His reason of death was not revealed. But police found simply red wine in his vomit. Sad story...

Ibanez X Series Iceman ICT700

If you wanna make some hard rock or heavy metal, you can try it with this axe. Wıth its iceman shaped mahogany body, DiMarzio D-Activator humbuckers, neck-thru design, reverse headstock and reverse sharktooth inlays on its rosewood fingerboard this machine is a shred monster.

There's only Indonesia made of this guitar here in Turkey. They say the Indonesian Ibanez's are infamous cos of their badly done paint jobs especially at neck-body joint section. But this one is neck-thru so that section is smooth there. Be cautious while buying.

Dur ihtarına uymak lazım...

"İspanya'da oynanan yerel bir maçta kırmızı kart enflasyonu yaşandı.

Cadiz vilayetindeki bölgesel birinci ligde Recreativo Linense ile Saladillo Algesiras arasındaki karşılaşmanın hakemi, her iki takım oyuncularına tam 19 kırmızı kart gösterdi. Linense’nin 1-0 üstün olduğu sırada iki oyuncu arasında çıkan kavga ve seyircilerin sahaya işgal etmesi üzerine maç yarıda kaldı."

Daha sonra da kendini trafik lambası sanan hakemi bir kavşağa monte ettiklerini yazmayı unuttuklarını düşünüyorum. Ayrıca acaba maç yarıda kalmasaydı ne olacaktı diye meraklanıyor insan. Tahminimce hakemimiz yeni bir rekor kırıp Guiness'e girmeyi hedeflemiş, fakat amacı yarım kalmış.

Her yılın en stresli, en gelecek korkusu dolu günü kutlu olsun. Bu yıldan sonra her yılın ilk pazartesi günü Dünya Stres Günü olarak kutlanmasını tavsiye ediyorum. Henüz bu darbe bana vurmadı ancak ofis arkadaşlarımdan gördüğüm kadarıyla etkileri sezilmekte. 2009 itibariyle sigarayı bırakmış olmam bir katalizör etkisi yapar diye düşünmüştüm ama ilginç bir şekilde beklediğim olmadı. Neyse arkadaşlar içebilen bugünün akşamında bir kadeh rakı, şarap ya da viskisini yudumlayarak günün bu ağır etkisini üzerinden rahatlıkla atabilir.
