JIMMY PAGE, A Controversy, My Rant about Questionable Articles


    

This is my longest video ever! I spent so much time on it, I hope that you will like it! I felt the need to become Jimmy’s lawyer the time of a video. When I was younger, my parents used to say that I should have been a lawyer because I was always investigating, questioning everything, always searching for the truth. So maybe did I prove them right here? I also “feel” people, but “feeling” people is not enough to convince my viewers. The real and universal problem is that human beings have a tendency to envy those who succeed better. I actually have an opposite reaction, I want to know how they do that, it becomes an urge for me to learn from them. It also fascinates me. Maybe one day, I will explain to you why the behind the scene of a success fascinates me so much. No envy, only admiration. Here it is, grab a cup of tea because it lasts more than one hour.

 - Milani Baked Blush - Dolce Pink , such a beauty!
http://goto.target.com/c/1995691/7069...

try to find something similar and cheaper if you are interested?

will be the same.

excellent!

probably can find her Brand online.

it probably doesn't exist anymore, but if you absolutely want to know, I
can try to find a similar one here.

Led Zeppelin The RIFF MANIA Jimmy Page Black Dog, Grave Flowers, Rustin ...


  


Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page and his guitar riffs, not something brand new you would say, but for me, a recent riff episode made me reconsider the whole Led Zeppelin music from another perspective and it is like if I was discovering a brand new band, which is also actually the case for my friend and ex-neighbor Gabe and his bands Hooveriii​ and Grave Flowers Bongo Band, not so far away from Led Zeppelin actually.



In this video, I have been chasing a few riffs to see what was the effect on the music and the memory we keep of each song. Interesting to see how the riffs can affect our musical perception.

HOOVERIII & JIMMY PAGE Psychedelic Rock Music, Mark Hollis & Derde Verde


   

This is, I think, my longest video : discovery alert! A whole story around the band Hooveriii (to pronounce Hoover3) and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin + The Yardbirds - A lot of fun, a lot of music , a lot of electric guitars and electric guitar solos, I had a lot of fun making it, enjoy! 

I highly recommend this book: Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page, I will explain why in my future videos, to come as soon as I have completely finished to read it. I am half way now, and I am already fascinated, chiefly very interested in all what is said inside: short but very efficient comments, a ton of gorgeous photos! It is so precisely documented. I found it for that price on the link below, the original price is almost the double of this, but when you see the quality of the book, it is not a surprise... Be prepared to receive a very big and very heavy book, it cannot remain ignored for sure, it is just wow! By the way, it would make a magnificent Christmas gift when I think about it... The cover is spectacular as well. I precise that I am not sponsored to say all this, just when I am very impressed by something or someone, I want to say it and to share it.

Derde Verde: Slow Light & Mark Hollis Solo Album, A Lyrics Controversy


    

My new video is out! It is about a lyrics controversy - I am wondering if my video instead of talking about music is not rather a psychology session... But Michael Mackintosh I’m talking about at the end of this video, did appreciate it a lot and he is a life coach so maybe I am in the right direction... It is about the Mark Hollis Solo Album:  The Gift, Inside Looking Out and Derde Verde, their new album Slow Light, the songs I Will Wait, Jigsaw.

Derde Verde Album Release SHOW w/ Gregory Uhlmann

But finally the result is there, I hope you will like it, If you like guitars, this video is for you!

DERDE VERDE, MARK HOLLIS, TALK TALK Let Me In Their Psychedelic Moments


  

Here is what happens after an earthquake! :-) The shooting of this video was crazy, it was just after the shock wave, I was terrified, and people didn't stop calling me to know if everything was fine, my younger son was texting from Italy, and I always answer to my sons, so I had to stop filming almost every ten minutes. Shooting this video took me several hours in the making, and more the time was passing, more I wanted to hit the drums and couldn't stop. Yes, for sure, a hypnotic effect :-)

A Mistake I Made by Decluttering My Books. I Had No Idea How Sad It Coul...


   

I would have never thought that I would post a video in these circumstances. I shot it before, and now, we have to deal with the after.
Life is too short. We must do the most of it.
