Dave Marsh Biography

Dave Marsh is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on March 1, 1950 in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Dave Marsh (born March 1 1950) is a American music writer, critic editor, radio talk host. He was the editor in the beginning of Creem magazine. He has written for a variety of publications like Newsday, The Village Voice along with Rolling Stone, and has written numerous books about musicians and music, with a majority that focus on rock music. Additionally, he is a member of the committee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Marsh stated in 1978 “Queen isn’t here just to entertain. This group has come to make it clear exactly who is superior and who is inferior. Its anthem, ‘We Will Rock You’, is a marching order: you will not rock us, we will rock you. Indeed, Queen may be the first truly fascist rock band …[I] wonder why anyone would indulge these creeps and their polluting ideas.” Marsh had earlier written about Queen singer Freddie Mercury – who is considered to be one of the most talented rockers ever recorded and has the “passable pop voice”.

Also in the 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide, Marsh described Air Supply as “The most calculated and soulless pseudo-group of its kind, which is saying something”.

In the 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide, Marsh called Journey “a dead end for San Francisco area rock”, and their music “calculated”. He awarded every single Journey album released up to that point – seven studio albums, a compilation album and a live album – the minimum possible score of 1/5 stars. When asked about Marsh’s unrelenting derision of Journey on a 1986 television program during which other critics had defended the band, lead singer, Steve Perry, called Marsh “an unusual little man who all too often thinks that his subjective opinions translate to inarguable fact”.

Marsh has been described as an “grumpy rock and roll journalist” because of his blunt remarks on the popular musicians Marsh dislikes. In 1976 Marsh stated in his journal that Led Zeppelin had an “insurmountable flaw” in drummer John Bonham (who has topped numerous lists of the greatest drummers of all time) who he viewed as “something like clinically incompetent” and responsible for ruining every Zeppelin album until date.
