Essentially loud
French-German TV channel Arte will be airung a new documentary called Hauptsache laut (Essentially Loud) this Saturday, January 17 at 22:00 CET, repeated on Saturday, January 24 at 1:55 CET. The documentary focuses on how the rock music became the loud music. A number of very loud luminaries have been interviewed for the film, including the lead singer for The Loudest Band in the WorldTM — one Ian Gillan, along with Dave Davies of The Kinks, Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, and Suzi Quatro.
Thanks to Claus Dornhard for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Suzi Quatro? Who is she? If I remember right, there was a person of the same name back in the early seventies. But she had nothing to do with loudness, not to say anything about essential loudness. I rememeber she used to chew gum. Bubble gum. 🙂

Well, I heard Pete Townshend had to order louder Marshalls because he had to compete with Keith Moon’s drums….
January 21st, 2015 at 09:52That period of time was the “Big Bang” for rockmusic! The music exploded in so many different directions:
– the progressiv rock (with Pink Floyd + King Crimson)
– the art rock (Genesis + Yes)
– the melodic side of rock (with Wishbone Ash)
– the blues+bluesrock (Taste, and later Rory Gallagher solo)
– and Jethro Tull brought us the flute tunes
Really a great time to enjoy…
Have a nice Day!
