What albums do any of yall have? Im building my collection, i got:
Led Zeppelin 1
Led Zeppelin 2
Led Zeppelin 3
Early Days and Latter Days
Oh and The Song Remains The Same DVD!

What is evrybodys favourite song? Im undecided between Babe Im Gonna Leave You, Since Ive Been Loving You and Heartbreaker.

The best riff IMO is Trampled Underfoot, makes you want to bu-bu-bu-boogie!

[Mort]

Bring back the Zep for the Top of the pops intro!

[JimJims]

[Apocalypse King]

Bring back the Zep for the Top of the pops intro!

They've put a totally sucky crap song on TOTP now! I have stopped watching it in protest.

[madmouse]

i've got them all, my fav is 'the rover' the best band ever!

[Mort]

Is it not the intro anymore? Or is it just a cover version?
It isn't even a cover version any more. Its a totally new song.

[Reuben]

None. BUT I do like "Baby I'm Gonna Leave You"...the PQM collaboration (Phil K vs. Nu Breed mxi) is HOT! Man...had no idea Led could sound so club... :LOL:

[Senza]

i have:

I
II
III
IV
houses of the holy and physical grafitti



'Thank You' is a damn classic. Actually..almost all Led Zeppelin is.

Anyone else hear 'Tangerine' in the background of an Orange ad recently? I've only seen it once and know how Zeppelin are pretty stingy in the way of permissions so i may have imagined it.

[pluk]

they're GREAT!!

i used to listen to my dads old zep records when growing up

i have:
led zepellin
II
III
IV
Houses of the Holy
Presence
Song Remains The Same DVD
How The West Was Won audio DVD
Led Zepellin DVD

favourite song... tough call... Since I've Been Loving You :D

[she_had_a_username]

I have the big 4 cd remasters box, and then a little green 2cd box of all the remastered songs they left off of the 4cd one. And 'how the west was won' of course, plus the dvd.

Awesome band. :cool:

'Out on the tiles' is my favourite I think, it's very underrated. Brilliant song.

Out on The Tiles is amazing, i just learned it on guitar.

Hats Off To Roy Harper is crazy (brilliant slide guitar) and The Lemon Song is super cool!

[miss villkhu[TSP]]

i'd heard of the band a while back but i never actually heard any of their stuff til this summer. i may have to get one of their albums and investigate further. but i must go now, i have a 9.10am appointment!

[misanthropy]

i'm glad to see a led zeppelin thread here. :) i have a lot on vinyl -
led zeppelin
led zeppelin II
led zeppelin III (whose album cover is quite silly with the thing you can turn and all)
led zeppelin IV
physical graffitti
houses of the holy

and a couple cds, but i love the vinyl sound and feel!

i don't think i could choose a favorite song, too difficult!

[Thanatos]

I despaired so much the topic is far, but I found it.
I have Led zeppelin I, II, III, IV and presence out of vinyl, and almost all out of Cd.
It is for me one of best the groups which never existed.

[Erroneous Fiend]

My actual favourite song is Since I've been Loving You. My band covered it somehow!

thats my favourite too

[Josh]

Led Zeppelin are BRILLIIANT, in fact I'm listening to Dazed & Confused right now, that's what made me look for this thread!

[in your world]

zepplin, along with pink floyd, are the band(s) i would most like to have seen live, oh well i doubt i'll have much chance for that now :rolleyes:

[TetrisMaster]

I have

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin III
4th Album
Houses of the Holy
Presence
Early Days
Latter Days
The Song Remains the Same (Live)
BBC Sessions (Awesome)
How The West Was Won
Led Zeppelin DVD

My favorite songs are Since I've Been Loving You and What Is And What Should Never Be. This could be my favorite band of all time (even if I never cared for their last few albums).

[Bakesh]

I'm almost always in the mood for Zeppelin, I love them a lot and see a lot of similiarities in bands i like today (Muse especially).

I've been listening to the longer songs by them lately like 'How Many More Times', 'Kashmir', and 'Tea For One'. Oh and 'Your Time is Gonna Come'.....They just had so many great songs (and are still great), it's hard to pick just one favorite. I have to be in the right mood to prefer one song over another, etc etc etc....

i listen to 'How Many More Times', and imagine the whole band playing this song together and thinking.....God, nobody could beat this i don't think. It feels so natural, the whole entire song, and for it to be on their first album, just that much better.

[Twin]

Apologies if this has already been posted.

what's the best Led Zepp song?

I reckon bron-y-aur (physical Graffitti) is the best, Jimmy Page at his creative best.

Paranoid.

[Sarah]

Funny. One of the biggest bands ever & you didn't think to check if anyone else liked them enough to make a thread?

[Clunge]

+ you spelt zeppelin wrong

However, No Quarter is my favourite

[Paul]

At the moment my favourite is Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You.

[batmus51]

Heartbreaker is my favorite..
.
Whole lotta love, Kashmir and Dazed and Confused are runner-ups..

[killer queen]

At the moment my favourite is Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You.

technically that's not theirs... it's a cover... very good though
anyway my favourite at the time I guess has to be The Ocean, I absolutely love it

I second Bron-y-aur.

It's fucking cool.

[Clunge]

Why is Physical Graffiti always hailed as their masterpiece? Sure disc 1 is amazing but disc 2 is shit. Every other album (I, II, III, IV, Houses of the holy) is far better. :confused:

[Paul]

I didn't realise it was a cover! :eek:

Who did the original?

[killer queen]

yeah it's a cover from some guy from the blues scene back in the old days... don't remember who though

[Simone]

someone has started a new zeppelin thread. it should be combined with this one

[Paul]

yeah it's a cover from some guy from the blues scene back in the old days... don't remember who though

CD sleeve has it written by Page, Plant and some Anne Bredon woman :confused:

[killer queen]

yeah but the original lyrics and music was by that other woman... or so I read on an special edition of a mexican mag dedicated to Led Zeppelin.. they also said that at the beginning they haven't included the name of the original composer and so she sued them or something so on the later editions of the album they had to include her name too

[Clunge]

Zeppelin are like a drug, especially the longer songs like Kashmir, Since I've Been Loving You, No Quarter and When The Levee Breaks

[Fluky]

I love led zep!!! i got it on atm actually, i've just got "IV" but i've heard most of the albums. The rain song is good.

i cant really choose a fav song tho. its awsome, i love his voice too

[Clunge]

II > III > I > IV > Houses Of The Holy > Physical Graffiti

:D

[Stu]

The live 3CD set "How the West Was Won" is amazing stuff :cool:

[Bakesh]

I was surprised to find out that When the Levee Breaks is a cover too...I'm slow, but, man, i NEVER knew that ;)

I still don't kn :p ow what LZ was thinking with Carouselambra, but other than that I like just about every song

[Puppetmaster]

*bumps*

Had a Zep fest the other day. Listened to the earlier stuff and watched the DVD. Oh how I love them. There's no one quite like them and Floyd.

http://www.vinylsurrender.com/Graphics/Photos/Led%20Zeppelin/LedZeppelin001.jpg

Ahhh <33

[Clunge]

Mmmmm.

Probably at heart my fave band ever.

[Puppetmaster]

Mmmmm.

Probably at heart my fave band ever.

:yesey: along with Floyd.

[Clunge]

Quite so :happy: .

[Puppetmaster]

Faves:

D&C, Heartbreaker, Ramble On, Black Dog, IMTOD, Rain Song, Kashmir, The Wanton Song, BCW, Achilles (the solo <333), White Summer at RAH in '70. STH and SIBLY at MSG in '75. Predictably, that STH solo is one of my fave Zep moments ever. I wrote a story about it. :LOL: :happy:

[MissThais]

Ya! Led Zep! It's really great!
My favorite song is "Immigrant song"!!!!

[Jase]

Fucking love Led Zep! Personal faves are Immigrant Song, Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven, White Summer Black Mountain Side, Black Dog, Carouselambra, Achilles Last Stand (personal favourite) and Heartbreaker. Just a few faves...

[Clunge]

It always surprises me how many people really like Achilles Last Stand, I just find it so very 'bleh' - same goes for all their later stuff really. But that's just me.

Give me anything from I to IV and I'll be happy :happy: .

[Jase]

Achilles Last Stand is brilliant simply for the drumming. Of course the rest is brill, but still. The one that I find overrated (other than STH) is perhaps "When the Levee Breaks". I also find Physical Graffiti overrated. I only love two tracks (Kashmir, Bron Yr Aur). Also, I don't have a personal favourite album. Too much good stuff spread out over the ten albums.

[Niles]

Speaking of overrated: Achilles has good drumming now? It's not fast, nor technical, nor difficult to play (except for the fill at 1:16). The most interesting drumming on a Zeppelin album is No Quarter. Bonham is the one of the most overrated drummers ever.

Still I love Led Zep. Especially:

When The Levee Breaks
No Quarter
Dazed & Confuzzled
In My Time Of Dying
Trampled Underfoot
Four Sticks
Misty Mountain Hop
Immigrant Song
Friends
Whole Lotta Love
What Is & What Should Never Be
Heartbreaker
Bring It On Home
We're Gonna Groove
I Can't Quit You Babe
The Ocean
Kashmir

[Clunge]

Hmm, I'm completely biased in favour of Bonham, he's probably my fave drummer of all time :LOL: .

His live work > his studio work.

[Puppetmaster]

Achilles is slightly bleh as a whole. But the solo.... *waves lighter*

[Jase]

I love the drumming on Achilles simply because it sounds so bloody good. Technicality isn't what makes things good ya know. If you become too hooked up on whether or not something's hard to play or is technically brilliant, then you lose sight of what makes music good.

*Goes off to listen to Achilles Last Stand*

[Puppetmaster]

True, that.

[Niles]

His live work > his studio work.
Troof.

[Clunge]

Though I still think he is a brilliant bluesy drummer, same goes for the rest of the band.

Blues perfected, especially Page's guitar.

But they can rock-out too which makes everythign doubley awesome :happy: .

[Ril]

Hmm I'm coming to think just lately that I don't like them as much as I thought I did. I've hardly listened to them in months.

[Puppetmaster]

Same here. I only seem to go on a Zep binge about once a year, and I'm definitely not the mad groupie I used to be. :rolleyes: But I still think they're one of the greatest bands ever, and one of my favorite bands.

Yeah definitely, for the influencial value alone. :) And I still do love blues more than anything, but I listen to more 'alternative' bands these days, who I think are a bit more adventurous and diverse.

[Puppetmaster]

It's generally hard being a hardk0r fan of bands that aren't around anymore so I gave up on it. Muse ftw!

[Purplesum]

Whilst sifting through my Dads record collection i came across 2 Led Zepplin records! So i listened to them both, and they are amazing!
They are Led Zepplin, and Led Zepplin II.

[Clunge]

LZ 1 and LZ 2 are probably my two fave Zep albums, both utterly brilliant.

[dazed and confused]

I Have All Their Albums Except In Through The Out Door and my favourite songs would have to be:
Black dog
Dazed And Confused
Achilles last Stand
The Battle Of Evermore

ALL HAIL THE GODS!!!!

[Magdalena]

I can't stop listening to When The Levee Breaks.
Mmmmh.

[Clunge]

When The Levee Breaks is my fave off Zep IV.

It always reminds me of NIN for some reason :LOL: .

[mr.jingles]

The very early Led Zeppelin doesn't thrill me much. Too bluesy for my taste.

I'm more fond of the Led Zeppelin that made 'Zoso', 'Houses Of the Holy' and 'Physical Graffitti'.

[Puppetmaster]

Was listening to IV earlier; it reminded me why I used to be obsessed with them. Ahhh they're so great. <3 :happy:

OH MY GOD!

Why America?! You're British you bastards!!!!!!!!

Anyways my favourite is III and for some reason I just love Out on the Tiles...it's my absolute favourite song by them. Little did I know, it's my mate's as well...should I marry him? I didn't know exactly what to do so I just told him I loved him...

p.s. the Song Remains the Same DVD is brilliant whilst stoned...recently a friend and I watched it a few times through one night but it was nearing the early morn and I wanted to leave so I was 'gonna go after this song'...which happened to be the half hour long Dazed and Confused...which was only 5 minutes in. oh Jimmy Page.

*craps pants* I gotta be there! :eek:

[Clunge]

Hmm.

I absolutely love Zeppelin, they are probably deep down my favourite band of all time but... I won't be going to this. It'll be good I'm sure, but I think I'd rather not see them at all than know I've missed seeing them in their prime.

+ I won't be able to afford it :LOL:.

god id have thought youd fight your granny to get tickets

[Caff]

I would love to go but then again, it'll probably spoil the image I have of them [I don't just mean that they're obviously older] from my dad's description of them when he saw them in the early 1970s. Plus, I can't really afford an arm and a leg's worth of ticket.

[Clunge]

Same reason.

My dad saw them in '75 and just said how utterly amazing they were. This won't be :(.

[glasskite]

My friend is so excited about this one, I don't think he cares about the ticket price, he will be there. I mean, how often is Led Zepp gonna be doing gigs?

[seregon]

I would like to go to this hmmm I wonder if my ex will go being the Led Zep obsessive that he is

£125? Ok screw that :LOL:

[E-Mused]

tickets selected by ballot :/

don't like them ideas they done the same with arctic monkeys earlier this year and alot of people thought it was a bad idea.

[seregon]

Whats the point of coming back after all those years just to let certain people come and pay shit loads of money!? Not really fair imagine the amount of fans they would have gained during that time :rolleyes:

[pubicmage]

Hm. I wonder if Jimmy Page's guitar will be horrendously out of tune like it usually was in the '70s.

[destructiveaesthetic]

god I've been tracking this since the rumblings of gossip were going on 2 weeks ago...and naturally I wake up too late to access the site (fucked up the time zone difference). Fuck the 125 quid, I'd see totally see them if I could just get onto the fucking site!

[Static Shadows]

I wish I could afford it :(


Definately one of the best bands ever. I love Robert Plant and the Strange Sensations newest album (Mighty Rearranger) and the dvd for their most recent tour is pretty awesome, so i doubt this gig would be a let down. Plant can't hit the high notes anymore, but still sounds awesome, and I can't imagine Page has forgotten how to play the guitar!

[destructiveaesthetic]

The site still is down...ffs.

Do you think they'll film it for a DVD?

[Purplesum]

OMG, i would love to go. But £125?! I'm about to stop working and become a student, there's no way i can afford that. Plus, i can't get the damned website up anyway...meh.

[Riviera Paradise]

Oh man.... what shitty date!!! But I will give it a shot and see if I can make it...

[Green Mamba]

£125, 2 Tickets Per Address, Ballot Lottery....

They can go back into retirement for all I care.

[Judderman]

a 125 pound ticket which could be shit, and you've gotta win it aswell. fuck that.

and plus it won't be how led zeppelin really were.

[destructiveaesthetic]

Well I've registered but we'll just have to see...

I hope none of my other housemates didn't apply cos it's one per household ha. I'll get my boyfriend to do it as well even though he hates gigs...why I even like him I don't know.

[E-Mused]

Demand for Led Zeppelin's one-off reunion gig has crashed the gig's official website.

Led Zeppelin are set to play the 02 Arena in London on November 26.

The show is a tribute event for Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

The ballot to get one of the 18,000 tickets, priced at £125 each, opened at 4pm but Ahmettribute.com crashed within minutes.

Promoter Harvey Goldsmith, who is putting on the event, said there was demand from as far afield as Japan, Australia and the United States. He predicted that the gig would cause the "largest demand for one show in history".

The £125 tickets are limited to two per person and will be distributed by ballot only.

Those wishing to go to the show must register on Ahmettribute.com to be in the ballot.

Registration closes on Monday (September 17), while any tickets that appear on online auction sites afterwards will be immediately cancelled.

[christoph]

i read 25 million have signed upto the site, which is fuuuucking ridiculous

[Clunge]

Holy shiiiite, 25 million! :stunned:.

Fuck that. I'll just wait for the DVD/TV broadcast that is bound to happen.

[seregon]

Why don't they just do a world tour!? Or are they just being lazy selfish old bastards

[Clunge]

Why don't they just do a world tour!? Or are they just being lazy selfish old bastards
They're only doing this for two reasons:

1. To honour the memory of the bloke who signed them back in the 60s
2. To promote their new best of

I very very very much doubt they'd do anything just for the money, Zeppelin never seemed like that kinda band.

[destructiveaesthetic]

Yeah can you imagine the hundreds of millions that's being thrown at them to do one? After Live8 Floyd was offered over $200 million but do you see them touring? no :(

Although gigwise said they would be open to more dates...which makes me more nervous about paying 125 quid. ah here's the link: http://www.gigwise.com/news/36921/led-zeppelin-to-announce-new-dates?

[pubicmage]

I very very very much doubt they'd do anything just for the money, Zeppelin never seemed like that kinda band.

Haha, is that why they're releasing yet another greatest hits compilation? They seem to be bunging them out every few years now.

[Clunge]

Strange you should say that because when I heard about Mothership, my initial reaction was 'oh no, not another one' but when I looked into it... the amount of Zeppelin 'best ofs' or 'collections' is fairly small in comparison with many other bands of their era.

And also, all the Zep greatest hits/collections are utterly shit :LOL:. The only one remotely worth getting is the Early/Latter days collection.

I think Mothership will be a proper send off so Zeppelin, so to speak. And anyhoo, is it even the bands idea/decision to release these sort of things? - I'd have thought it would be a company simply cashing in on their status and continuing popularity.

[Gemsy]

If you get tickets, can you give them to someone else?
I'd love to see them, but I'd rather give them to me dad.

I thought I'd be over my jealousy but I'm not.

I'll keep thinking that it won't be the same as being alive in the 70s and seeing them then!

[Raw Power]

Page is rubbish live, he has always been. At least after his heroin years..
I've heard Zeppelin sounded great, but that's from people who think Page is
the greatest guitarist ever in history. Led Zeppelin was great, but let's face it
Page was sloppy as hell.

Agreed. I don't think it was just Page, though. Just watch the majority of their live videos from 1973 onwards; Plant and Bonham were usually just as sloppy as Page.

On the Song Remains The Same, the version of Stairway To Heaven is a prime example of their sloppiness. The guitar is not even in tune with the Mellotron, which alone makes it painful listening! And Robert Plant just sounds lazy and drugged up.

I do like their first three albums, though. Maybe they will be better at the reunion concert because they have had so much time to prepare. And none of them are messed up on drugs this time.

[Raw Power]

Yeah, Page was amazing on the first records, even though he stole plenty of riffs :P

I really hope they do a tour, even though they would be sloppy or suck, it would be amazing to see Zeppelin live.

[Clunge]

I don't care, I've seen vids of Zeppelin post-73 and they're fucking awesome. My dad saw them in '75 and he's been to god-knows how many gigs over the years and he still says it was the best one he ever went to. I would have given every scrap of money I have to have gone last night :(.

Setlist:

'Good Times Bad Times'
'Ramble On'
'Black Dog'
'In My Time Of Dying'
'For Your Life'
'Trampled Under Foot'
'Nobody's Fault But Mine'
'No Quarter'
'Since I've Been Loving You'
'Dazed And Confused'
'Stairway To Heaven'
'The Song Remains The Same'
'Misty Mountain Hop'
'Kashmir'
'Whole Lotta Love'
'Rock And Roll'

Pretty much every single one of my favourite Zep songs. Jealous x a lot.

[mr.jingles]

Let me just say that Robert Plant is an amazing vocalist, but nobody can deny that he's not as good as he once used to be. Now, there are people who claim that he sounds horrible, and that's a bit too harsh. The man still holds a decent voice, but it's clearly a bit far from being at the top of it's game.
This is the reason why they didn't play 'Immigrant Song', because he can't sing that song in another key other than the original.

After seeing the YouTube videos I have to say that I'd be very glad to watch them live if they decided to tour, but I might enjoy more watching them again on the 'How The Wast Was Won' DVD.

[pubicmage]

I think Robert Plant's vocals are much more stable than they used to be. He was so prone to going off key in the '70s, which he never seems to these days.

[Chris]

I logged onto MSN and spoke to one of my mates who was standing backstage at the gig while they were on :(

Went last night, and Page isn't one of my favourite guitarists... but after last night he is now. :LOL: It was fucking awesome :) and I'm very happy to say that. Best song in my opinion was Dazed and Confused, and Rock and Roll. <3


Oooh! Lucky! I would have loved to have been there...dang!

[Puppetmaster]

Re-unions like that are always a bit meh. Sure, the nostalgia factor holds it all together for the audience, but the chemistry's gone, and they all probably hate each other or are totally indifferent. I think it was Plant that said in an interview that playing together again would be like sleeping with a wife you'd divorced ages ago.

[brian27]

I've not seen any footage yet but does anyone know if John Paul Jones used his Mansons?

I'm guessing he did!

[Mobius]

I would tell you if it werent for the fact that Warner have had all the footage taken down... bastards...

[Clunge]

Kashmir :yesey:.

[Mundi]

for your life? wow! Have they ever played that 1 before?


nor the entire Ramble On..

[frutiger75]

After seeing the YouTube videos I have to say that I'd be very glad to watch them live if they decided to tour, but I might enjoy more watching them again on the 'How The Wast Was Won' DVD.

right. and they should have played over the hills and far away...

[Gemsy]

I don't care, I've seen vids of Zeppelin post-73 and they're fucking awesome. My dad saw them in '75 and he's been to god-knows how many gigs over the years and he still says it was the best one he ever went to. I would have given every scrap of money I have to have gone last night :(.

Setlist:

'Good Times Bad Times'
'Ramble On'
'Black Dog'
'In My Time Of Dying'
'For Your Life'
'Trampled Under Foot'
'Nobody's Fault But Mine'
'No Quarter'
'Since I've Been Loving You'
'Dazed And Confused'
'Stairway To Heaven'
'The Song Remains The Same'
'Misty Mountain Hop'
'Kashmir'
'Whole Lotta Love'
'Rock And Roll'

Pretty much every single one of my favourite Zep songs. Jealous x a lot.
+1. DAMNIT.

[Enemy]

Kashmir :yesey:.

Kasmir was probably the most immense song of the night... Robert Plant: 'apparently there are people from 50 countries here tonight. This is the 51st.' DUH-DUH-DUH! DUH-DUH-DUH! Amazing.

[Clunge]

Was there any crowd action much at all? I mean, if it was any other band playing, I'd want to be jumping around and having a bit of a mosh to Rock And Roll, Black Dog etc :LOL:.

[destructiveaesthetic]

I think it was Plant that said in an interview that playing together again would be like sleeping with a wife you'd divorced ages ago.
That was David Gilmour.

[Rainbow]

That was David Gilmour.Yeah, it was. :LOL:

On Zeppelin, Jimmy Page said he's ready but the rest of the band is not. Robert Plant will be busy until September 2008, touring with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss (and I'll be seeing them in June :D ). --- Anyhow, it means there's still a chance of re-reunion + tour.

I'm a new Zeppelin fan - Some of their songs can be annoying, but makes a big difference seeing live videos. Looks like a great live band, hope I'll have a chance to see them!

[Travisx2112]

Easily the best band ever. They ALWAYS made good music. None of their songs suck.

I don't have a favorite, love them all, but I hate Stairway to heaven, because of everyone's attitude toward it.

[Rainbow]

Yeah, Zeppelin rocks! They make Jack White sounds like a baby. :p

A lot of people think that STH is the "greatest song ever written", when it clearly isn't.

[cutemuse]

I got every albums, DVDs, recordings, every piece of Led:DMy parents are big fans so we got everything and I'm a fan too:)

[cutemuse]

Well, my parents own them, but we are the same family;)

[Rainbow]

A lot of people think that STH is the "greatest song ever written", when it clearly isn't.Umm, I'd say "who's to decide?" ... interestingly, Robert Plant doesn't think it is the greatest, either.I got every albums, DVDs, recordings, every piece of Led:DMy parents are big fans so we got everything and I'm a fan too:)I started to listen to them, and am surprised how Jack White sounds like them! :eek: Since many of Muse fans like White Stripes, I think there are common appeals with Zeppelin, too.

[Bell@tr!x]

Oh Led Zeppelin, I Love This Band!!!
Jimmy Page is a crazy with the guitar!!
the voice of robert plant is fantastic!!!;)

[matt1il]

I started to listen to them, and am surprised how Jack White sounds like them! :eek: Since many of Muse fans like White Stripes, I think there are common appeals with Zeppelin, too.

this reminds me of a jack white quote from when led were put into the hall of fame...

"I don't trust anyone who doesn't like them!"

[pubicmage]

Umm, I'd say "who's to decide?" ...

Exactly. I don't think it is the best song ever but it is completely subjective.

Besides which, nobody has heard every song ever written, so even if it was objective, a rounded view could never exist.

[Rainbow]

this reminds me of a jack white quote from when led were put into the hall of fame...

"I don't trust anyone who doesn't like them!"This is the first quote ever I read Jack talks about Led. Like, I searched if Jack went to see the reunion show, or if it's written in 'influence' section on Wiki, but nothing I could find.

[mr.jingles]

Wasn't Led Zeppelin inducted in the Hall of Fame back in 1995?

Why would Jack White make an statement about something that happened when he didn't even have a record deal.

[Gemsy]

Easily the best band ever. They ALWAYS made good music. None of their songs suck.

I wish somebody would retcon both of those songs from my memory.

Sorry. I just have an innate hatred of all things to do with Led Zeppelin and The Eagles.

[cutemuse]

Why it wasn't recorded when Led were in London?? I mean, it was their last gig...And sorry, I'm not so good in English:DI hope you understand what I'm talking about...;)

[Rainbow]

Why it wasn't recorded when Led were in London?? I mean, it was their last gig...And sorry, I'm not so good in English:DI hope you understand what I'm talking about...;)On a new interview on Uncut magazine (May 2008), Page said:

"It was recorded, but we didn't go in with the express purpose of making a DVD to come out at Christmas, or whatever. It's feasible that it might come out at some distant point, but it'll be a massive job to embark upon."

So there. ;)

I just watched No Quarter (Unledded). It can be the best music video I have ever seen!
Page + Plant are so musically mature ... complex but tight.

How the West was Won is:
"released in 2003. These original performances are from the band's 1972 concert tour of the United States, recorded at the L.A. Forum on June 25, 1972 and Long Beach Arena on June 27, 1972. Guitarist Jimmy Page considers Led Zeppelin at this point to have been at their artistic peak, as is mentioned in the album's liner notes." (Wikipedia)

This is definitely one of my favorite live albums from any band - over two hours long, 18 songs..

the whole performance is incredible. some songs are extended with some nice jams :cool: (some lasting over 20 minutes)

definitely recommend checking this out - there are some other live albums i think, but this is the best in my opinion

Reunion rumor has squashed. :(

News from Sep 28 (The Sun (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/article1735624.ece))
A source revealed: The rest of the band had all but given up on Robert joining them, but they were determined to go ahead so had started to seriously explore other avenues. He realised he couldn’t face the thought of not being involved. They are now forging ahead with the tour plans and they can’t wait to get on the road.

Then today (Robert Plant official site (http://www.robertplant.com/index.php?l1=2&l2=0&l3=0&articleID=186&rt=NE))
... and tomorrow they (Robert Plant and Alison Krauss) play Portland, Oregon before finishing the tour in Saratoga, California on October 5th.

After those dates, Robert has no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone for at least the next two years. Contrary to a spate of recent reports, Robert Plant will not be touring or recording with Led Zeppelin. Anyone buying tickets online to any such event will be buying bogus tickets.

“It‘s both frustrating and ridiculous for this story to continue to rear its head when all the musicians that surround the story are keen to get on with their individual projects and move forward,” Robert Plant said.

“I wish Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham nothing but success with any future projects,” he added.


at least 2 yrs! Sounds like it'll never happen, Jimmy will be nearly 70. :( :(

Here's the interview from this site: http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/jack-bruce-calls-led-zep-lame-jimmy-page-crap-179860

Dave Ling: It's good news that there might be more from Cream?
Jack Bruce: "Well, the trouble is that I'm doing so many amazing things on my own. Cream is just a band from many, many years ago, and we did do something [referring to the reunion shows in 2005]…

"Everybody talks about Led Zeppelin, and they played one fucking gig - one fucking lame gig - while Cream did weeks of gigs. Proper gigs, not just a lame gig like Zeppelin did, with all the [vocal] keys lowered and everything.

"We played everything in the original keys. [Becoming animated]: Fuck off, Zeppelin, you're crap. You've always been crap and you'll never be anything else. The worst thing is that people believe the crap that they're sold. Cream is 10 times the band that Led Zeppelin is."

Ling: That's a bold opinion.
Bruce: "What? You're gonna compare Eric Clapton with that fucking Jimmy Page? Would you really compare that?"

Ling: To be fair, they're different kinds of player, aren't they?
Bruce: "No! Eric's good and Jimmy's crap. And with that I rest my case."

[Martin]

I don't like Eric Clapton, but I don't like Jimmy Page even more if you see?

[pubicmage]

I don't like Eric Clapton, but I don't like Jimmy Page even more if you see?

I find this post 100% agreeable.

I don't like Cream, Jack Bruce or Led Zeppelin. He sounds bitter that he made a bit less money from the Cream reunion. Still, I don't mind what he's saying solely because I think Led Zeppelin are shit.

[Obi]

Led Zeppelin are the most talented rock band of all time bar none. Creme are meh, Ok.

[Samuel]

Well I always thought the Led Zep were better than Cream. In hindsight, Jimmy Page didn't really have a very different sound from Clapton, at least I think so.

[pubicmage]

Led Zeppelin are the most talented rock band of all time bar none. Creme are meh, Ok.

They're hardly the most talented. I've seen so many videos of them live where Jimmy Page couldn't even co-ordinate his hands properly. Trying to play guitar faster than you are physically able to is not really talent.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that Mahavishnu Orchestra were the most talented 'rock' band of all time.

[Tyler77]

Jack Bruce though also said he thinks that Cream and Hendrix were the bands that paved the way for Led Zeppelin. I think he feels Cream is not getting the credit they deserve. I sort of agree. I like Led Zeppelin but I think Cream covered the territory first.

[Noel Gallagher]

He's got a point about Led Zeppelin the whole 02 arena gig was an overblown farce, and it was simply embarrasing watching them struggle to perform with the same gusto they used to - changing key pfft........just don't bother coming back. Howether Clapton is also an overrated tosser and Cream were nothing more than average so he hasn't really got a leg to stand on. Bands simply should't reform after so many years, it's a blatant and disgusting cash in and nothing more.







And before the usual 'coming from an Oasis fan:LOL:' comments, I don't care it's just a username.

[Gemsy]

www.wholelottaled.co.uk

[Davy]

I never got into Led Zep, think they're too overrated.

[Gemsy]

I dunno, I genuinely believe they're overrated for a good reason. They have truly excellent songs.

[guitarchaeologist]

I find this really amusing since Page and Clapton were both original members of the Yardbirds...and I don't think one is better than the other. They just differ stylistically.

[Riviera Paradise]

I simply think Jimmy Page has written much better music and his style remains more original...

Cream and The Doors are two of kind anyway and Zeppelin is different...

[Martin]

Cream and the Doors are 2 of a kind?

How? Cream were a power trio, the doors didn't even have a bass player for most of their albums.

[Cheesy Grin]

Cream and the Doors are 2 of a kind?

How? Cream were a power trio, the doors didn't even have a bass player for most of their albums.

That and The Doors are just better.

[mr.jingles]

Clapton is overrated.

Good guitar player, but his style is not mind blowing.
Clapton just took what traditionalist blues guitarists had done decades before, and introduced it to a rock audience.

The O2 gig with Led Zeppelin was just way behind expectations. Mostly due to Robert Plant's voice, and my guess is that this might be the reason why he's not willing to join Led Zep again. Plant just can't hit those high notes anymore, but the media is still willing to create hype just because it's "Led Zeppelin", or should I say Led Zeppelin - 1

[Obi]

Led Zep are Gods. OK, maybe not the most talented, but well ahead of their time. Songs like When The Levee Breaks were just epic for their time.

[thrillby]

Led Zeppelin are almost defiantly touring again:D.......but maybe not with Robert Pant:eek:

some web articles say that he is,

some say he isn't.

does anyone know what happening with this?

[lensip max]

Yay Led Zep!

My fav guitar blasts are the ones in Dazed and Confused - y'know, the "WE'RE CHANNELLING SATAN NOW!" ones :D

[PlugInMonster]

I also love the more intricate guitar work of songs like "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Rain Song".

[hoodude]

What can I say about Zepp - to me, I think they will always remain the ultimate rock band. Never before or since has any band had the kind of mystique and presence they had. When Page used a theremin on stage, I think half the people in the audience thought he was coaxing demons out of his Marshall stack (of course he never denied that might be the case)...Admittedly, part of that magic was people's naivity at that time - it was more magical back then. Now rock-and-roll is a much more community-driven phenomenon, and a thousand twelve-year-olds are playing insane solos on Youtube with Les Pauls that Jimmy Page probably couldn't afford - but back then, only wizards and warlocks like Page and the boys could make that kind of magic happen...

[Clunge]

Not bad, but not as shocking as this one.

wEiyGgWt6no
^^^the greatest song in the world!
My favourite song of all-time.

I couldn't give two shits if Jimmy's guitar work is a sloppy or lazy, it just sounds and feels so right, particularly in that song.

[Rainbow]

My fav guitar blasts are the ones in Dazed and Confused - y'know, the "WE'RE CHANNELLING SATAN NOW!" ones :DThat song- the beginning of it anyway, is very simple. Yet, when I play it at home, it sound so stupid. :$ Actually, a lot of phrases of Zep songs are like that, but not many people in the world can pull off like Page does. What can I say about Zepp - to me, I think they will always remain the ultimate rock band.When I heard Zep for the first time, suddenly my fav band The White Stripes sounded very immature. Zep is the ultimate. :yesey: I can imagine what you describe about audience with Theremin - now I think we have better idea how it works, but it still looks magical to me. I think it was the combination of Page's atmosphere and the way he did it (I saw it on 'Song Remains the Same' DVD). In the new documentary 'It Might Get Loud', there's a short segment Page shows Jack White and Edge how he did it, but it didn't look very magical in the studio environment. :rolleyes:My favourite song of all-time.It's a time-stopper, isn't it? :D

I actually don't like Stairway at all, Kashmir is my favourite and has been for years... whoever said That's the Way (sorry short attention span) has a good ear though, I like the accoustic feel of "III"

Kashmir is a prototype of a "symphonic monster" that Muse is working on.

Kashmir would be pretty hard to beat son. :rolleyes:

Mmmm.

Hmm well yeah they have tones of masterpieces. I personally adore the live version of going to california from the "How the west was won" album ; i think tis way much better than the studio version.And i also think that live version of dazed and comfused from "the song remains the same" album is unbelievable; the improvisations are amazing. One of the few bands that managed to sound better live than on studio :happy:

Fantastic band. I love most of the albums but am not so keen on Houses Of The Holy nor Presence, although Achilles Last Stand is fantastic. I even like In Through The Out Door which is more keyboard orientated. Despite appearances to the contrary, the best musician in Led Zeppelin is John Paul Jones and that's a fact. ;) In fact the two best multi-instrumentalists in rock are clearly John Paul Jones and Matt Bellamy. :cool:

Led Zeppelin is overrated.

*hides*

I don't think there is a punishment harsh enough for what you just said...... SIN!

[Anxyous]

Just bought Whole Lotta Love off iTunes yesterday... Awesome track :awesome:

Also got LA Drone + Immigrant Song off How the West Was Won. The live version of Immigrant Song beats the album version by far IMO...

Your username is overrated. :p

[boomeraangsquad]

The Rain Song is absolutely outstanding.

My dad brought the Definitive Collection Mini LP Replica CD Boxset home from the library yesterday, so I'm busy ripping all the CD's :awesome:

I don't like them either! Whole Lotta Love is good though

[Clunge]

And what else have you heard apart from Whole Lotta Love...?

[Mobius]

I bought the Led Zeppelin DVD (The one with random gig performances, not The Song Remains the Same.)

Fuck me it sounds good through a decent pair of speakers. :happy:

[The Knight of Cydonia]

Whole Lotta Love and Black Dog are definite favorites
How The West Was Won is my most favorite Led Zeppelin album

[P-Mac]

Why can't Robert just agree to go on tour :(... just do it for the fans!!!

[Clunge]

I'd love it to happen, just to sign the band off properly as Pink Floyd should have but I very much doubt it will.

[P-Mac]

The only problem is, in my opinion, if they ever did tour, and hit the road for about 18 months, they will have only played to about 5% of their fanbase. They are so huge they would have to play like 10 nights at one venue.

[WhiteDog]

I idolise Led Zeppelin---and own the superb box-set of their entire career catalogue of albums, i.e The Complete Studio Recordings

[Veronica_cy]

I've been listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin these days, after neglecting them for some time. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You is my favourite Led Zep song and by far my favourite song of all time. I have faint memories of my 9-year-old self head-banging with my big sis to this song whenever the heavy parts kicked in. Good times.. I shall never, EVER get sick of it!

I've seen this countless times but it never ceases to amaze me. Makes me wish I lived in the 60s.

[Jyrgen]

Damn that performance is awesome :eek: But I think they did a very good job in 1998 on the Page & Plant tour. Jimmy was on fire on the added solo and he even played the Stairway riff in the end :p

[Dave Jon]

I was amazed to find there was no thread for one of the best bands ever!

What albums do any of yall have?

What is evrybodys favourite song? Im undecided between Babe Im Gonna Leave You, Since Ive Been Loving You and Heartbreaker.

The best riff IMO is Trampled Underfoot, makes you want to bu-bu-bu-boogie!
Heartbreaker is definitely my favourite song!!!!! Its riff IMO is the best I've ever heard, very catchy! Also Achilles Lasty Stand has a beautiful drum riff *___*

Albums I've got:
Led Zeppelin I, II, III & IV (Zoso/Untitled)
Houses Of The Holy
Presence (Achilles Last Stand :))

[Anxyous]

Just got the remastered Led Zeppelin I and II CD's today.

Is it just me, or is Whole Lotta Love quite clippy?

[Anxyous]

Having completed my collection of Doors albums, I'm turning my attention to Led Zeppelin. I have them all digitally, but I'm getting the CD's, and so far I have I, II and IV. I would've gotten III yesterday, but the store was out...

[Mobius]

III is my favourite. :happy:

[Jay Bee]

The solo on Achilles Last Stand is sexual. :happy:

[Wind Sorcerer]

The solo on Achilles Last Stand is sexual. :happy:

Achilles Last Stand is outstanding. Bonham does some amazing fill-ins there.

[KirstyCave]

The solo on Achilles Last Stand is sexual. :happy:
That whole bladdy song is epic, definately one of their best. Though the solo IS :eek:

By the way. Led Zeppelin are a trending topic on Twitter. Which is rather awesome.
Finally after Bieber being up their the whole time, maybe people are starting to realise good music ;)

Aye, 2:29 in particular is just :awesome:

I'll probably get Presence next paycheck because of that track...
