I’m Joe. I’m 16 and I like drumming, collecting records, reading, writing, drinking tea, mythology, Tolkien and rock ‘n’ roll. I’ve been on stage with Iggy and the Stooges and met Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden. On this blog you’ll find Led Zeppelin, Rush, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Rainbow and some lesser-known bands.Tumblr (3.0; @wickedjoe)http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/abcffea24f4875bba05022fc07a3e286/tumblr_mon9kyyptE1rsqycgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is just the coolest album artwork ever.</p>http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/53359483249http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/53359483249Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:30:32 +0100uriah heepclassic rockprogartwizardlotrhobbitgandalffantasty<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a190fc2b91a3c6c509bbf6111e4e7a0b/tumblr_mnh4ppGzDM1qig4ico4_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/85beb3dac73d3d5c563336ba92aa4f5c/tumblr_mnh4ppGzDM1qig4ico1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/61f5899e54b3a2b717ff413c657f3e5b/tumblr_mnh4ppGzDM1qig4ico2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4f1644d0b4a3b571181f2995dcdadbb2/tumblr_mnh4ppGzDM1qig4ico3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/53278072473http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/53278072473Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:30:38 +0100rainbow bandritchie blackmoreronnie james diodioBlack SabbathDeep Purpleclassic rock<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/434c17162295ccc2bb77c502350d7fa9/tumblr_mo9x1ahKs51qhjmm4o5_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/63b0e64ffa0da3651ac4966723a25ab8/tumblr_mo9x1ahKs51qhjmm4o2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/06f2be504601750effb3d7ca2ecc5567/tumblr_mo9x1ahKs51qhjmm4o3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d946ba098ec4ce99024de925b62cedd8/tumblr_mo9x1ahKs51qhjmm4o4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d379c68f8615d045c61b75eb02b587ff/tumblr_mo9x1ahKs51qhjmm4o1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p>Scenery in The Desolation of Smaug</p> </blockquote>http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/53113192135http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/53113192135Sun, 16 Jun 2013 15:30:38 +0100 (This is going to be a weekly feature here, where I show some of my records and tell you a bit...http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52978076296http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52978076296Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:37:00 +0100Black Sabbath13rockmetalozzy osbourneTony Iommigeezer butlerBill Wardmy records<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/66c89295efb1c4bbf3192dfac497f701/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d7445366852304b136fc7686b86ffb85/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/800bfb26cc3a4ae81e04f79e85964607/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cb39f6764d4f9b13ee600d89e3eb8cb4/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f47943a6cc925db5b5476425dc119a0f/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o5_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/48824c2775f629ca7199be7dd06a5a71/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o6_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c7859d63255e06af9cd9c1ee5d3454f0/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o7_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/62dc0e811428577538e0bb03064589bf/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o8_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/80f1d114bfeef768505e69ab03d5c7f6/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o9_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/abeba0f5b43c5d6962fe0d3ec1bcb498/tumblr_mfwtj1L6kT1rj7qx4o10_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://cumbermums.tumblr.com/post/50563404636/a-handy-reference-guide" target="_blank">cumbermums</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>A handy reference guide!</p> </blockquote>http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52947665073http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52947665073Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:30:37 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/dc17166c38efb1bb9f5dd7aec01e08e6/tumblr_mnzoswkuyP1rwax0oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52868749348http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52868749348Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:30:47 +0100John Bonhamled zeppelindrumsgodclassic rock<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1ee21360aefc1fa479964c7b6b12e4a9/tumblr_mesv31qtut1rx8fiio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52708833960http://wickedjoe.tumblr.com/post/52708833960Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:30:42 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3e01747aeb0645d743d990048760bc6e/tumblr_mo5pq2sZy41rjghtbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Today is an important day for all of us.</p> <p>Today, Black Sabbath’s first studio album with Ozzy Osbourne since <em>Never Say Die, </em>13, is released in the UK.
