January 14, 2009

Drummer Brian Tichy (OZZY OSBOURNE, BILLY IDOL),guitarist Tracii Guns (L.A. GUNS, BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION),bassist Robbie Crane (RATT, VINCE NEIL, ADLER'S APPETITE) and vocalist Robert Mason (LYNCH MOB, WARRANT) have joined forces in a LED ZEPPELIN tribute band called SHRED ZEPPELIN. The group will make its live debut on January 16 in Redondo Beach, California, to be followed by a show at the Hilton Ballroom in Anaheim, California after ALICE COOPER's set for Coffin Case.

Tichy previously stated about his love for LED ZEPPELIN's music, "ZEP has never done me wrong... never. Every record, every bootleg... They are the coolest, they are the funkiest, they are the most inventive, they are the most bad-ass. Bonzo, that's all I say... If you don't get it, then it doesn't matter. John Paul Jones… same thing. Page... He wrote 'The Rain Song'. No more to say. Plant... everyone else follows what he started. They are all clever, they are all wise and extremely sensitive to the surroundings they created. One group had to be the best at everything and that is LED ZEP. Yes, THE BEATLES are the shit. Yes, QUEEN broke ground on every record. THE WHO, THE [ROLLING] STONES.... Yeah, yeah, yeah.... but ... JIMMY PAGE WROTE 'THE RAIN SONG'! Hahaha.... Oh, did you ever hear the drum intro to 'When The Levee Breaks'!!!?? That is equally as perplexing as the first time in your life that you heard 'Black Sabbath' by BLACK SABBATH....Those are things we now take for granted. There was a time when humans had never heard such a sound. It leaves you dumbfounded!!!! And to have the capacity to do that musically is the shit!"
