KILLS OUTLOOK May IKS- Page Outlook Rockin and rollin and a whole lot more By DIAI1ANN Lilt Tuesday night I threw end common sense lo Ihe dogs and attended my first rock concert Although am in my thirties ear ly thirties really 1 had never got ten the nerve or the ambition to head out to a concert no matter how much liked the performer Now I know why I wailed so long there was sex and drugs and rock and roll all right all in the next What tun Who did I sec One of the Gods of rock the former lead singer of Led Zeppelin Robert Plant Its probably a mistake go see in your doddering old age thats how 1 felt a hard rocker Zeppelin having been he premiere hard rock band way back when A performer ike hat attracts more of the least attractive fans around At one point Plant talked about his trepidation at going on another lour and I doubt that three or four of the audience what trepidation meant You dont need a college education to be rock fan Just think of all money Ive wasted All this took place at Maple Leaf Gardens that Intimate cosy lit tie theatre that just invites you lo strain your get a migraine At one point In the proceedings an announcement was made Thank you for not smoking Ha ha ha Anything that could be smoked was smoked I had forgotten how cloying the smell of pot Is People usually dont smokelt at the opera Another thing I have never seen at the opera or even at the Cultural Centre couples attempting to have sex during a performance In the seat to you while smoking It was enchanting I must say kept waiting for this couple to set themselves on fire They were bo stoned that I doubt they actually realized Plant was on stage Gee what a good way waste Co I think It could have been done for much leas at home By the way the girl on the other side of me did manage bum me wilh her cigarette But hey she did apologize it was more than I expected at that paint So you ask what about the show How about Robert Plant Plant was great He looks really good hand some and fit and his voice still sounds great If you liked it in the first place He was very polished very professional He did some Led Zeppelin tunes like Misty Mountain top which had the crowd on its I loved It but 1 was glad that he didnt do more of the old songs the audience was simply loo carried away at that point Everybody was standing and ones view was block Of course the couple In seal didnt stand I dont think they noticed they couldnt see anything Most of songs were from his new album Now and Zen But he other things from earlier records He wrapped up with a killer version of Bread on Through to the Other Side It was great Ray Vaughn did a very tight and Impressive opening hour He has Just completed two years of sobriety and relatively clean living He encouraged the audience to take care of themselves and follow his example Plant was drinking rier water on stage at one point imes have changed Being rather than probably makes a lot of difference So will I ever go to another rock concert Who cares I suppose I will if It la someone I truly worship and drool over Other wise it wouldnt be worth the lion I did see Plant close up though on our way up St Plants llmo passed us The window was partially open and we saw him push his hand through his hair We knew it was him we recognized the hair Be still my beating heart No thats Sting Ah well at least I have at last passed one of the rites of puberty Maybe Ill try guzzling beer until Im un conscious next another rite of passage I missed Topical collecting conference The Canadian Stamp Dealers Association will be playing

By JAMIE HARRISON The local band 3rd Degree recent ly won the Band Wars at Ihe Brampton nightclub In a recent interview the band members told of their experiences with the band and commented on future of the group Coctld I get a brief history of Todd Comcy The band started out about three years ago and we were Just doing it mainly for fun then and then we left those guys their old lineup because we wanted to do something more serious So we Joined up with a of people the drummer was town and the singer was from Ottawa and he was but he moved back to Ottawa so we had to get rid or him Then we got a singer from Toronto but he didnt work out after a while so we had move on then we had to pick up another drummer our old one wasnt working out then wc picked up a new singer and thats what we have today How long has this lineup been together Mark Ashley Seriously three months The first month we spent fool in around lias exposure from the Bawl Wars helped create aa lo band Todd Comey Yeah I think Its helped to open our eyes to what were doing were aware of what our potential is now and what we can do think it lust makes us want to do all that much more Mark Ashley We sort a had breaks at the battle of the bands Band Wan cut there was a lot of bands that didnt show up and there was bands that played one night and woo but due to differences of musi cians just parted their ways and never really returned So that was an advantage for What are tbe band main In Brace Todd Everybodys got their own influences I think this what gives the band Its uniqueness For any band lo make it theyve gotta be que If youve got a good tion that works well together you gonna make it Whats tbe ratio of cover songs to originals lo live set- Dean Hushes Id say a quarter of a show in original How serious Is the band An yon willing to take it ail way Todd Were willing to go all the way I think I am anyway Dean It all depends on how things go There are no egos in the band Rob Kemp did you leave home tonight thaha How would the band describe their Dean Middle of the road Com but not too commercial Todd you took away the keyboards youd have a good hard rock song but what make it more commercial is the keyboards Just the addition of the keyboards has made us more Mark Were starting to get out of writing about relationships and love and downfalls are everything Todd Were like 3rd Degree weve got our own original sound so come out a nd r us What are your future plans Todd the studio time that we won were gonna go in and get a good demo- tape done Joey Vendetta was at a bar we once played and
