Robert Plant, Phil Lynott and Dimebag Darrell “The Great Rock Conjunction”

If you were paying attention to the stars this weekend you might have noticed the significance of August 20th.  On that single day, 3 of the greatest rock music performers and song writers were all born. Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy fame was born in 1949, Dimebag Darrell of Pantera born in 1966 and the elder Robert Plant born in 1948. There are a few photos of Phil Lynott and Robert Plant together, but doubtful if the 3 of them had much if any interaction. However,  can you imagine that band? Holy sh*t!!!

KnuckleBonz has been fortunate to create 3 Dimebag Darrell Ltd. Edition statues. Check out the current Pantera work here from KnuckleBonz.

Our KnuckleBonz Phil Lynott statue design just got approved and we will be rolling that out for pre-order soon…stay tuned.

Rock Hard this Monday…

Led Zeppelin “Physical Grafitti” Anniversary “Heaviest Zepp Ever?”

On this day in 1975 Led Zeppelin released their 6th studio album “Physical Graffiti “. The term studio is used loosely here because the album was primarily recorded at the Heady Grange county estate in Hampshire England. This is significant because the allowed the band ample time to improvise arrangements which fuels this masterpiece. Some of the heaviest Led Zeppelin to date was on the recording. The John Bonham’s drum open and Jimmy Page’s riff on “The River” are heavy bloody metal at it’s purest. Physical Graffiti also includes “Kashmir” showing off the diversity the band had in this era.
