jimmy & the great dane

Have this dumb thing I made in honour of today being the anniversary of Jason fucking leaving the band

You gotta be kidding me…

Have great Labor Day folks! From "Super Sound" (Italy), music weekly of the 70s! Greg and Jon Lord of Deep Purple on the cover!

Around the time of "Astra"! Snaped here with digital recording pioneer Ted Cohen, who worked for Warner Bros. and EMI before moving on to Westwood One. As the digital music era took shape, Ted advised major players like Universal, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Birthday Boy!

Haven't drawn/painted pretty much this entire year and then for some reason I ended up doing not one but four portraits now... But yay, happy birthday James! Love ya loads!

Happiest 58th birthday to my favourite human, the impossibly talented, James Hetfield! His music and lyrics have brought me so much comfort, joy and escape, it's hard to express exactly how grateful I am for the impact he's had on my life. Here's to many more years and amazing music! 💛

Ahhh happy 59th already to one of the most gifted guitarists, lyricists and singers, nvm iconically epic frontmen! Love ya loads James ♡

60 never looked so good! Happiest of birthdays to my number one and timeless fave! I look so forward to all the new music and awesome moments he'll make with this new decade of life! Here's to many more, love ya James! ❤

Wishing the best and happiest of 61st birthdays to the ultimate frontman, still sounding and looking incredible and living his best life rocking out on stage! Here's to so many more, and even more fantastic songs in the future too! Love ya loads big guy! ♡

62 and still only getting better! Wishing The Best only the best on his birthday! Forever my all time favourite, here's to many more years of Papa Het and kickass music with Metallica! Love ya tons and tons James! 💛

Cozy quote: " Lake and Emerson blew up for the nth millionth time and unfortunately, we had been signed to do two albums and tours. We'd taken advances on those 2 albums and when Keith and Greg had argument # 575 and decide they can't work together again, there's me in the middle thinking we've just signed these contracts"

Japan always had great ELP stuff

Ozzy & the Metallica boys.

1977! After a break of three years during which Greg and Pete penned an immortal Christmas classic and Keith hits the charts with a bouncy ragtime number, ELP returned all guns a blazing, enter "Works Vol One"
