Interesting piece of trivia, toally off topic but related to LZ...

Jimmy Page was big into the occult (why many said there was a satanic reference in Stairway... which of course nobody ever found or explained!) and was (not sure if he still is) a priest in the Golden Dawn. He lived in Alistair Crowley's old mansion (the dude Ozzy sung about on Blizzard (the founder of he Golden Dawn)). Saw a facinating program a couple of years back about the birth of '80's metal and the satanic undertones from Black Sabbath and Venom through to Slayer. Anyway, almost all of the bands interviewed praised LZ as being big influences in them wanting to lift the guitar in the first place and there were a lot of Page interviews... can't remember the name of the documentary though... was around the time of "The Decline Of Western Civilisation' (a cool doc with loads of great live footage from Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and co.).

Oh well.... nothing else to add.....................zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
