Agree that it'd be a great use of Page's talents, but is Jimmy Page the type of guy to take on projects because they'd be interesting to him and artistically rewarding, but ultimately be "minor"? Legitimately asking; I know way less about Zep than most people here.

Yeah he won't do it... Esp as an instrumental record

dollar rave club (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 29 May 2014 18:36 (twelve years ago)

still a good idea

intheblanks, Thursday, 29 May 2014 18:37 (twelve years ago)

would prefer a reunion of screamin lord sutch's heavy friends with plant singing

Not that he was ever Richard Thompson but who knows if he has even kept up his chops?

Plant is the only boomer with an unembarrassing and often surprising solo career.

He's very cool and principled these days. But that wasn't always the case…

Jimmy Page raps on that track. Add that to his list of accomplishments.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 29 May 2014 20:36 (twelve years ago)

listening to lucifer rising again

goddamn this gives me the willies

dollar rave club (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 29 May 2014 22:30 (twelve years ago)

I need to admit something: I have never heard it. Clearly, this must be remedied.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 29 May 2014 22:49 (twelve years ago)

Man, I totally forgot both Toni Halliday and Kirsty MacColl sing on "Now and Zen."

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 May 2014 01:05 (twelve years ago)

one of the unreleased instrumentals "La La" to be included on the LZ II expanded edition

love it, very Who-like....now I'm gonna have to buy these records again--argh

Iago Galdston, Friday, 30 May 2014 14:23 (twelve years ago)

It's so...cheery!

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 30 May 2014 14:28 (twelve years ago)

pretty groovy - yeah, dead ringer for the who in a few parts (and then not so much as the song goes on). this has never been bootlegged?

tylerw, Friday, 30 May 2014 14:37 (twelve years ago)

whoah! awesome

You know, I have some 11-disc set of outtakes. It'll be amazing if this stuff goes beyond that.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 May 2014 16:28 (twelve years ago)

great song! it's like a Led Zep demo reel of all the cool shit they can do.

brio, Friday, 30 May 2014 16:53 (twelve years ago)

the bass drum fill at 3:13 on that new outtake

festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 30 May 2014 17:03 (twelve years ago)

I didn't get a Who vibe initially, but wow, it's a total dead ringer for "Overture."

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 30 May 2014 17:08 (twelve years ago)

(in sound, arrangement, and structure, not in melody or chord changes)

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 30 May 2014 17:09 (twelve years ago)

the bass drum fill at 3:13 on that new outtake

Love that. Fucking genius.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 30 May 2014 17:10 (twelve years ago)

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the instrumental is terrible. Led Zeppelin's best stuff is timeless, because they created an entirely new sound. This thing, on the other hand, screams "1969." That fucking organ, are you kidding me? If this is what's gonna be on the deluxe reissues, I'm gonna stick with my 1994 box.

Humorist (horse) (誤訳侮辱), Friday, 30 May 2014 17:38 (twelve years ago)

the first theme is very rotten then it gets into classic territory!

Iago Galdston, Friday, 30 May 2014 17:50 (twelve years ago)

I like the cheesy triumphant vintage wheaties commercial theme at the beginning!

brio, Friday, 30 May 2014 17:53 (twelve years ago)

I didn't get a Who vibe initially, but wow, it's a total dead ringer for "Overture."

Someone should sue!

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 May 2014 17:57 (twelve years ago)

I can't imagine anything in the world that would enrage Jimmy Page more than being forced to add "inspired by Pete Townshend" to a writing credit.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 30 May 2014 18:03 (twelve years ago)

lol

intheblanks, Friday, 30 May 2014 18:06 (twelve years ago)

Maybe they just thought "Overture" was a traditional tune and added their stamp?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 May 2014 18:08 (twelve years ago)

Yeah I mean "overture" wasn't that originally a Mozart joint? That shit was over 200 yrs ago so surely public domain by now, I mean really

Khamma chameleon (Jon Lewis), Friday, 30 May 2014 18:18 (twelve years ago)

Nice to open this thread and see some music posted instead of whining about influence

calstars, Friday, 30 May 2014 18:31 (twelve years ago)

tbf Led Zeppelin has not been the most productive dormant for 35 years act.

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 30 May 2014 21:00 (twelve years ago)

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 30 May 2014 21:06 (twelve years ago)

I would be up for Jimmy Page joining the current YES lineup.

Oh for a second I thought YES and YELLOW and I was like "oh cool!".

You know what's really good? Plant's "Mighty Rearranger." I saw him on the band/tour opening (sort of) for Pearl Jam at a benefit, and he and PJ played "Fool in the Rain" for apparently the first time ever.

I don't know if I can bear to listen to Vedder's hacks stumble all over that saunter of a tune with their two left feet…

veronica moser, Saturday, 31 May 2014 16:13 (twelve years ago)

ah they sound OK, but despite his posturing otherwise, Vedder's inert singing shows he's got a clear channel soul

veronica moser, Saturday, 31 May 2014 16:17 (twelve years ago)

plant sounds great though.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 31 May 2014 16:19 (twelve years ago)

"whether it was YES or whoever . . . that's great, because you're passing it on"

awesome. really a shame XYZ never got off the ground. chris squire and jimmy page would have been something else together

reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 31 May 2014 17:03 (twelve years ago)

Vedder's hacks

zzzzzzzzzz

La La is great!

Bow to the holder of the Bonham master tapes

lol page is WAY too sloppy for Yes. No way he could pull that off.

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Saturday, 31 May 2014 18:26 (twelve years ago)

They play alot slower now, he'd do fine
