Hey, how about those reissues, I'm doing something totally different, btw, more of an Arcade Fire sort of thing:

Or maybe the National? Just U2? Anyway, totally nothing like Zeppelin, but it's cool that you all still like that stuff.

Totes. I can imagine someone not liking aspects or elements, but Zep, full stop? Bunch of liars.

With Zep, there are some elements I like rather than 'a few I don't '
I like "Houses of the Holy" quite a bit, physgraf about 50% of it, the rest I could just about muster a CD worth..
― Mark G, Friday, 27 June 2014 08:24 (nine years ago) link
I still love Physical Graffiti and In Through The Out Door the most, but love all the revisiting from the remasters Zep III slays.

Whoa I really like that Robert Plant song.

"25 Tracks Led Zeppelin Took To The Bank": acknowledging Zep's own artistry, and that this isn't news to many, basically, but good for comparative listening, to each original and Led recasting---plus: trading cards, with art which looks like R.Crumb's...http://www.willardswormholes.com/?p=24449

That's the latest doc from my buddy Jeff Heavy metal parking Lot Krulik. The movie's largely about whether Led Zep did a gig at a suburban MD Community Center outside DC, the night Nixon was inaugurated president (and how it has become mythical and legendary to some). The movie also covers how back then, many name bands used to play gigs at community centers and elk lodges and such.

Totally. The one surprise for me was Bob Mosely. I knew Plant was a huge Moby Grape fan, but didn't realize they'd ripped him/them off (too).
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 27 June 2014 20:14 (nine years ago) link
I love zep to death but I kind of wonder if, just once in a while, page didn't look over at plant while plant was doing his outlandish vocal riffing and just think to himself "bloody Christ, shut the fuck up"
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Friday, 27 June 2014 20:50 (nine years ago) link
Probably the same amount of times Plant looked over during one of Page's ridic guitar solos/theremin showmanship and thought the same thing.

So pass/agg that when Page & Plant reunited w/out Jones, they called the album No Quarter, after the song that was Jones' showcase in the Led Zep stage show.
― The Littlest Boho (stevie), Sunday, 29 June 2014 08:25 (nine years ago) link
Never thought about that! Also, Jones is 1/4th of Led Zep - no quarter!
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 29 June 2014 12:30 (nine years ago) link
Did Page/Plant ever offer any explanation, plausible or otherwise, for why they didn't bring JPJ in for that project?
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 29 June 2014 12:35 (nine years ago) link
and do Page-Plant hate JPJ or is it b/c playing with JPJ signifies "Led Zep reunion"?

xpost Story I heard, from someone who's been fairly close to members of Zeppelin over decades, is that Plant can't bear to be in the same room as Jones.

― Neanderthal, Sunday, 29 June 2014 14:11 (nine years ago) link
yeah JPJ always seemed like a pretty level headed dude, and Plant is supposed to be really nice, that seems so weird
― global tetrahedron, Sunday, 29 June 2014 14:30 (nine years ago) link
And if it wasn't for the two of them working together so intensely, ITTOD probably wouldn't have happened, what with Page barely functioning/strung out.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 29 June 2014 14:32 (nine years ago) link
Perhaps those two have a long standing, long simmering rivalry over which is the nice and responsible one?
― Riot In #9 Dream (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:19 (nine years ago) link
I mean, could happen.
i have heard tell of some quite gobsmacking pettiness between plant and page in the past over reissues projects and so on, so little would surprise me tbh.
― The Littlest Boho (stevie), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:27 (nine years ago) link
on the III remasters there's some weird little hissy ambient thumping that precedes "immigrant song" - has that always been there?? seems weird that you'd remaster an album and leave in this crufty sound
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:36 (nine years ago) link
Yep, that's been there since the first release:http://youtu.be/QCiLIptmpps

lol i think this shows the time that's passed - during my heavy zep phase i only ever heard these songs on LPs or the radio
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 29 June 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
It's so cool how II iII and IV all start off with a few seconds of weird studio noise
― brimstead, Sunday, 29 June 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link
I've heard III a million times, and the remaster was the first time I ever noticed the hiss.
Jones at 6:15 or so. Buuuuurn.

Kinda silly to see Plant with a guitar next to Page and Young.
The great lost Zep boot is the band jamming with Fairport Convention in LA. According to that book, Peter Grant may have taken and destroyed the tapes.

― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 29 June 2014 22:07 (nine years ago) link
Hey, Mick picks up guitar now and then next to Keith and Ronnie, so why not Percy?
Only thing I remember about that Fairport jam is that Jimmy picked up Richard Thompson's guitar and panicked a little because RT used such heavier gauge strings than he was used to - he said they were like railroad tracks or railroad ties or something.
"For What It's Worth" at the end wasn't worth it. Was he confused about who wrote that tune?
― Riot In #9 Dream (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 29 June 2014 22:08 (nine years ago) link
There is some Random Googler Gold up thread, along with Ye Olde ILX. Must peruse more thoroughly.

In fact, I had read the story about the guitar strings on this very thread.
― Riot In #9 Dream (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 29 June 2014 22:16 (nine years ago) link
I've seen quite a few clips of Plant strumming acoustic the last twenty years.
Jagger is by far the more accomplished guitarist at this point though.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 29 June 2014 22:23 (nine years ago) link
I'd be a nice thread if it doesn't exist: singers who pick up guitars
