Led Zeppelin
 

I like Led Zeppelin......that is all

woot woot. me too

The Song Remains the Same concert video is Goat

I think “When The Levee Breaks” is my favorite LZ song. Today anyway.

That's The Way.

No Quarter, . . no question.

I love just about anything they ever did, but this one always takes me away to a different time and place in my life... summers as a teenager at the lake with friends or some girl, drinking beers and getting baked

Practically spot on what I'd say as well although most all of their music takes me back to a lot of great memories of girls,lakes and getting baked.

I'm also a fan of long songs and this one always did it for me.Love Bonzo's drumming in it.

Jimmy's favorite solo. I remember buying this cassette at Metro North. RAN to my car and blasted it right there in the parking lot by the theater.

I don't think they even have levee's in england

I never liked fool in the rain until I learned drums and then it becomes fun.

:rockon:

Did they all break?

love to get the Led out


So many great songs.

I remember many a day spent in my youth with my dad's headphones on, listening to Houses of the Holy on his stereo...

Been into this song lately. Love the start/stop beat.

Their shit's so good that even below average bands can sound really good if they cover their material, or if they even just sample it. The only exceptions were when Puffy Daddy tried to rap over Kashmir and maybe when Hootie tried to cover Hey, hey, what can I do?

Hootie and the Blowfish are going to make billions on their new album.

oh yeah?

Wtf? They suck

Are they covering any Zep tunes?

I hope not

no just saying the hype for their new cd and tour is zany.

My younger brother is a HUGE fan because of me listening to them in our room as a teenager....

He's gone to see Plant and Page many times and also went to Live Aid when the three remaining members united even though it was a horrible performance for many reasons.

Misty Mountain Hop is an underrated song for sure.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Going to California, Over the Hills and Far Away, and about 20 others is my personal favorite song. Each time I listen to an album my favorite changes....

Their new stuff is good

Love this song cranked up from Plant's solo project a few years ago

Real Zeppelin fans don't give these posers a second look.

One of my favs too.

I think Ten Years Gone is tops for me.

I remember buying that cassette at Metro North Mall with my sister, going straight to her car, popping it in, and jamming the **** out to Achille's Last Stand. It's a very vivid memory.

They’re the GOAT to me.

#Metoo

John Bonham's drum work on "Good Times, Bad Times" (playing a single bass drum - making it sound like a double bass) was some of the best (for that time) that I ever heard. LONG before there were ghost pedals - he literally had the "fastest foot" in R&R

wat about the cat from Def Leppard that still beat his wife with a level of virtuosity post-arm severing?

You're such a secret. Misty-eyed and shady, lady how you hold the key to his torment.

Go start a Def Leppard thread for that shit. Jackass.

It is insulting to the greatest band of all time to name that band in this thread.

:rolleyes:

You must not anything about them. They grew up listening to rock music because of their parents. They are all very talented and young. It is great to know the next generation appreciates what came before them. Maybe instead of dismissing them as copycats, support them because they are now carrying the Rock and Roll torch. Their new stuff is very innovative and I am looking forward to seeing them live. Led Zeppelin's influence is still going strong and that is a testament to how great they truly are. BTW- since Zep "borrowed heavily" in their early days from Blues artist - it is kind of hypocritical to slam a new band that Loves Zeppelin and let that influence their music.

Give GVF a real listen without a critical ear to their influences- they rock.

I knew better lol Just remember hearing that on Johnny Dare

The Best....discussion over....

Kasmir
How many more times
Tangerine


On and on.....

Never heard of her before. Sounds like Greta Van Fleet...

Thanks.

I hate his voice. Sounds like a strangled cat. But I love the music.

Jason Bonham: Robert Plant Says He Loved John Bonham 'Way Too Much' to Ever Fully Reunite Led Zeppelin Without Him

Robert Plant has taken some lumps for being the impediment to a Led Zeppelin reunion since the group's 2007 performance at the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London.

There's been plenty of speculation about the reasons for Plant's reticence, but Jason Bonham -- the son of the late Zep drummer John Bonham, who filled in for his father at Zep's 1988 and 2007 regroupings -- says that "Robert's true reason is a lot deeper," but also more clear-cut, than many realize.

Bonham tells Billboard that he, like others, was buoyed by reports that the 2007 show, preserved on the subsequent Celebration Day album and video, would be a springboard to put Zep into full flight again. "We did six weeks' rehearsal for one show, so I was thinking we must be doing more," Bonham notes. But after joining Plant for a soccer game in England, the drummer found out that would not be the case.

"On the way back I said [to Plant], 'I’ve got to ask you... are we gonna get the band back together?'" Bonham recalls. "And he said, 'I loved your dad way too much. It's not disrespect to you; You know the stuff better than all of us, and no one else who is alive can play it like you. But it's not the same. I can't go out there and fake it. I can't be a jukebox. I can't go out there and try to do it that way." Bonham adds that Plant also felt strongly about Zep's declaration shortly after his father's 1980 death that the band was indeed over.

"He told me, 'When your father left us, left the world, that was it for Led Zeppelin. We couldn't do what The Who did. It was too vital.'

"And I got it," Bonham continues. "I was absolutely fine with that. My dad and Robert, they'd known each other since they were, like, 15. It was a lot deeper for [Plant]. So I was OK with it. It was a great time, and to end it the way it did, with that great concert, was for the best. [Plant] said, 'We needed to do one more great concert, and then maybe put it to rest.'"

Led Zeppelin's legacy, of course, has continued with various reissues, including a 2017 catalog overhaul curated by guitarist Jimmy Page. Page, Plant and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones also began the celebration of the group's 50th anniversary this year with the publication of the book Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin.

Jason Bonham, meanwhile, has been carrying the torch for Zep and his father with a tribute live show that he started during 2009 as Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience. He changed the name to Led Zeppelin Evening this year after, the other band members said they wanted to use the Experience name for an upcoming project involving the archive of Zep live recordings.

"I got a letter from their attorney, who happens to be my attorney as well," Bonham says. "As I read the first few lines I felt very upset. It was my wife who saved me from getting into a rage; I was about to group-dial Jimmy, John Paul and Robert and go 'What the hell...!' but she said 'Read the rest.' And I saw it wasn't personal. They wanted to free up the terminology. It was my wife who said, 'Why don't you call it 'Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening' -- that way I could keep the logo the same. I said, 'You're a genius! That's why I've been with you 30 years!'"

Bonham -- whs also plays in the all-star Black Country Communion and in Sammy Hagar's band The Circle -- took his Led Zeppelin Evening on the road with Foreigner and Whitesnake during the summer, and played his own shows in the fall. And he's hatching plans for his own Zep golden anniversary celebration during 2019.

"Next year I feel is an even bigger year because [1969] was the first two albums, the first concerts, all of that," Bonham explains. "So I've got a few more plans with how I'd like to do things. I'd love to play the Royal Albert Hall and do the set they played back in '69. That would be something I'd love to achieve.

"And all of this, I think, will continue as the years go on, because each year coming up will be 50 years since Led Zeppelin III, whatever. I can imagine the celebrating of Led Zeppelin IV will be a big one. I just can't believe it was that long ago, and it still sounds so good and so timeless. People still love to hear this [music], and I'm happy to be able to go out and play it for them with some authenticity and a real connection to it all."

and by implication, the others loved him less.

But, I'm glad they aren't doing the geriatric circuit. Bands never or very rarely recapture their prime/ the inspiration of youth!

This Beato guy has a great channel fyi

I always thought it was weird that one of their best songs was never on an album

Why does the guy that started a Led Zep thread have red Rep?

You make a good point about Zep borrowing all kinds of stuff from other artists, which brings me to another thing...

Just a couple months ago I read an interview with Plant where he pretty well dismissed GVF as copycat phonies, it really left me with a bad impression of him... but then again Plant has always been a prickly mother****er

Back in the 80s he used to call David Coverdale of Whitesnake "David Coverversion" because of his similarity to Plant... loves me some Zep, but Plant has always been a prick

He stole plenty of from other bands, most famously Stairway to Heaven

Because dane.

Possibly another interview but I didn't take that from this,yeah it's a little tongue n cheek but I personally saw no ill will.

Sweet short clip Nzoner, he was a bit more forgiving and complimentary than what I recall reading there... its nice to see him valuing a torch bearer

Whatever his feelings are, bet you I'll be seeing GVF in concert this summer

Just a bunch of Greta Van Fleet wannabes.

Have you heard Train cover Led Zeppelin II in its entirety?!

Shocker, it's an old (American) blues song, Memphis Minnie, iirc, that Zep, ahem, "appropriated."

Def top 5 and close to number 1 for me. Rocked this one so many times throughout my life. My dad (who just passed Tuesday, RIP) is who got me into rock music, and Zep was one of his faves. Listened to every one of his albums so many times. Here’s another of my faves. Heard is named to sound like a Jamaican says Jamaica.

RIP Cl Sr.

BFD. Seriously.

The GVF kids love Zeppelin, they have played their songs and acknowledge they are a Huge influence on their music. Their guitarist states Jimmy Page was the model for his own style. I don't think they are trying to hide it or ride the coattails of Zep-like a band called Kingdom Come- who purposely put music out that copycatted LZ at a time when rumors were flying around about a reunion. Jason Bonham has made a career on Zep as well.

To me, it is not the same. They are not directly stealing Zep riffs ( as Zep did when they started) and only on Safari Song- does his wail at the start- really sound just like Plant. Others songs I think he sounds pretty distinctive.

GVF has a monster sound on drums- but come on, there was only 1 John Bonham. Nobody will ever steal his thunder. Plant as well- he is the Original Rock God and he should be flattered his influence is keeping the torch of rock alive.

The hate on Social Media is kind of ridiculous- Zep has been gone a long time and they don't own a patent on rock and roll. Plant would be wise to give these kids (and that is what they are) his blessing, to keep being creative and take music Rock/ Blues into a new direction.

I agree with every bit of this, GVF arent stealing anything... its just a strange confluence of events that the Zep loving brothers found a singer who just happens to sound a lot like Plant

They're awesome in my book

The similarities are organic, not premeditated... I'll be going to great lengths to see GVF this summer, cant wait

Agree. Great song.
Wish there was vault of unheard of stuff but Page always states that is all out there.
Great band and great songs.

Sorry for your loss

It is just a little too on the nose for me personally.

GVF coming to Starlight this summer- got my tickets today.

Their new record is pretty awesome. Should put all the Zep stuff to bed. These kids rock.

The echo is awesome. Plus bonham yelling whenever he plays a fill

Been a fan since I was 12, about 40 years ago. At one time or another I thought each and every Zep song was my favorite. Or that Zeppelin III was my favorite, then years later it was HoH, or whatever.

Right now I'm back to the 'primitive' phase, really enjoying bits like, "Babe, I'm gonna Leave You," and "You Shook Me," etc.

What's interesting to me is how younger people react to hearing Zep for the first time now. My brother's kids, my other 7 god children, friends' children, etc. all are now 'discovering' Zeppelin and the looks on their faces when they finally understand that bands are supposed to play real instruments, that vocals are about more than just rhyming or a beat, is incredible to see.

LOVE his "what makes this song great" series

Same here, although many of those songs aren't great. Episode 1 is a blink 182 song :hmmm:

Yeah I did not watch that one.

Sweet

Also weird to hear a totally different heartbreaker solo (even if it ends super awkwardly)

There's a Zeppelin bootleg called "Destroyer" recorded in Cleveland on the 1977 tour, the "No Quarter" is super long and during John Paul Jones' solo, he goes into this baroque-influenced neo classical piano solo that has to be heard to be believed.

That's the original solo from the basic track; Page overdubbed the new solo in its place at a later date - you can heat the guitar in the solo is actually a semi-tone off in tuning from the rest of the song.

Found these guys on youtube, they freeform Kashmir and I think are very good

These guys are good, but they actually tell you they are the best, in fact they are a test for greatness

Grew up on Zep back in my childhood it was 100% what i listened to. This song has been stuck in my head lately.

First time I heard of Zeppelin was around Nov '69. I was driving home one night from work at Woolco receiving depart. It was a xmas job I took while going to JC, it was pouring rain and they played 'Whole Lotta Love'. Even though that is from the second album and I listened to what was a very progression station, WFSO the Big 57 in St. Petersburg, that was my first time hearing them. I remember turning it up loud in my '69 Datusn 510 that I had purchased new a few months earlier.

A couple of weeks later, the manager said the night man called in sick and asked if I would stay all night inside the store. They would lock up about 11pm and I just had to push a dry mop up and down each aisle until someone came in about 6am. After eveyone left, the first thing I thing I did, was to go to the record depart and find an 8 track of the first Led Zeppelin and put it in a stereo and turn it as loud as I could. That played all through the store for about six hours while I pushed a mop around. The next month I joined the Army.

Do you remember if you bought some of your bootlegs from Buccaneer Records? They were in Goldmine Magazine and latter a website between 1992 and 2005.

I once owned that,lost it in a fire in 1986 :(

While I agree with you that Plant can be that way and they did use other bands but your are wrong on Stairway
