    I have never not clicked a link that said "Led Zeppelin." No matter how ridiculous.  "Former Led Zeppelin Roadie Remembers John Bonham's Favorite Cow" CLICK.

  • Pretty cool story regarding Jimmy Page I ran across on FB. A GUITAR CASE STORY After 47+ years, I can finally share the following story: In June, 1972 I went to see Led Zeppelin perform

Introduced the 5 and 8 year old to some Led Zep this AM on the drive to school.

Page playing out of the break with the guitar at his knees. So fucking great.

He should try Gorky Park. He's got that whistle thing down.

Man, "In the Light" by Zeppelin is such a rip off of "Winds of Change" by the Scorpions.  Such a sham!

I hear the horses' thunder
Down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.

“American Epic” director Bernard MacMahon has revealed the title of his long-awaited and recently completed Led Zeppelin feature documentary: “Becoming Led Zeppelin.”

The project, which was first announced in 2019, has unprecedented access to the band, marking the first and only time the group has participated in a documentary in 50 years. Though 1976 doc “The Song Remains the Same” centred on the band, that was largely a concert film of a series of Madison Square Garden performances in 1973.

“’Becoming Led Zeppelin’ is a film that no one thought could be made,” said MacMahon. “The band’s meteoric rise to stardom was swift and virtually undocumented. Through an intense search across the globe and years of restoration of the visual and audio archive found, this story is finally able to be told.”

Dude, are you saying I’m wrong?   Listen to In the Light and tell me they didn’t directly rip that off from the scorpions.  I mean I played a lot of zeppelin on my old radio show in the early 90’s. But they’re no match for the Scorpions

How could that be when the Zep song was written and released 15 years before? Or did I miss the scarcasm font?

Edited by Nole-4-Life

Yeah, was riffing sarcastic on something DougO had posted above me.  Despite my excruciatingly annoying pedagogical knowledge of classic rock having hosted a classic rock show and served on the board of an elite music school where I proposed a "History of Classic Rock" course...three people completely missed the fucking joke.  But you picked up on it, so pos rep.  

Back to whores, drugs, and rock.

It might be a double rip since the beginning whistling instantly reminds me of patience by gnr. Same feel to the song, too.

I'll have you know I got an A+ in History of Rock Music at The University of Texas.  

And also that I got the joke.

Really I just wanted to brag about my A+ in History of Rock, though.  

So thanks for that.

Norwegian Wood!

FAC 21!

I believe the final exam was "Analbum cover for 50 points."  

The question was, "What is Led Zeppelin's 'Runes'?"

I got the side eye, but then it helped that my Dad was a rocker.

Teaser clip released.

 

My God Bonham was so good. First track,  first album.  All the ghost notes. All the double beats. JPJ fucking laying it down. Page doing his thing. Plant singing to the gods. Best band ever. Fight me.

He just fucking blasts you with those bass drum triplets. It’s sick.

So wait, when/where is this deal being released ?

Last I read no release date.  Here’s more about the doc.  If perfectionist Page is excited about it, it’s going to be good.

“When we first met we were probably a little nervous of each other. But the conduit was the storyboard,” Page said. “And I thought they’ve really got it, they really understand what it was about.”

He said he had received plenty of proposals over the years to tell Led Zeppelin’s story, but “they were pretty miserable. Miserable and also to the point where they would want to be concentrating on anything but the music.”

“This one, it’s everything about the music, and what made the music tick,” he said. “It’s not just a sample of it with a talking head. This is something in a totally different genre.”

that's the book that Led zeppelin fucking hated, way more than all the others.  Saying it was all Cole-inflated bullshit.  

Richard Cole passed away this week. Plant posted something along the lines of "No more tall tales." Kinda dickish. 

No mention that IV turned 50 years old last month?

 

Unrelated, but i listen to the lemon song at least once a week. The tempo transitions just kill me (especially the fast to slow), and all 4 players are showing off.

So I was two when 4 was released. Fuck.

Hagar with Jason Bonham played when the levee breaks Monday night at Moody.  Bonham mentioned the 50 year anniversary of IV before they played it.
