    Default Kingdom Come

    I may be a bit late , but I've been recently alerted to this band, and rather like them.

    Let the river flow
    Through my callused hands
    And take me from my own
    The eyes of the damned

    EDIT: BTW I hate videos like this. You don't get a chance to focus on what you're seeing before some coked-off-his-face producer switches to a different shot

    'What Love Can Be' is my favourite and a long time guilty pleasure.
    I couldn't find the original on YouTube.

    Didn't Gary Moore get all grumpy with Kingdom Come?

    I liked, 'Do you like it' was a particular fave.

    I wonder these days why this band got so hammered for the Zep 'influences', but these days bands like Rival Sons get away with nary a mention.

    At the end of the day, a good tune is a good tune. And 'What Love Can Be' is a great tune.

    You want a Led Zep clone with Jim Morrison singing? Try The Tea Party. Underrated by I liked them.

    Queen ripped off Zep but I have never read anything about that!

    Right then. I found the video, though I wish I hadn't!
    I've never seen this before and it is everything I HATED about cock-rock when I was a thrash metaller!
    Still, mega tune all the same.

    I met them in Newcastle airport when I was 16 ish, just after the first album- which I loved. I was on the way back from a school ski trip, they were supporting Magnum in the toon that night

    They were extremely gracious and friendly, which was nice. Got an autograph or two. No one else in the airport had any idea who they were!
