Led Zeppelin: Classic Or Dud?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g8Dq45nZOI

This homemade doc is a little all over the place but still enjoyable

Speaking of King Crimson, whatever happened to the official LZ doc?

One thing this post breakup docu series is that jimmy and Robert should have retired when LZ ended

Ugh … one thing it makes clear

Townshend didn't like Zeppelin either: “I don't like a single thing that they have done, I hate the fact that I'm ever even slightly compared to them.” He continued, through gritted teeth and an angered perspective: “I just never ever liked them."

I remember he had similar things to say about The Jam.

What series?

Jcm on YouTube

That long shot of Bobby on the game show…for real

xxxp That's weird because Paul Weller was invited as a guest to their 2000 Royal Albert benefit show and both he and Townshend basically played an acoustic duet together with no one else.

I suppose money time heals all wounds, I don't know.

Ugh who gives a shit about the who take it to the who thread

Who are you?

Who who

Who who

Lol

I really wanna know

Plant has had a great career

Page really hasn't done much music

it's crazy how little jimmy has done. one studio LP and one live LP with plant, coverdale/page, death wish II, outrider.

Two LPs with The Firm, the live double with the Black Crowes

Good for him It’s not like he’s going to write another middle section from in the light

Jimmy's ready for Spinal Tap here:

I was gonna say, I think the years of drink and drugs took their toll.

idk i feel like percy's done pretty well? nothing earth-shattering, but nothing embarrassing. heard stories that he's a nice guy

He and Jones have come through it much better.

Page was pretty busy in the '80s...in addition to the aforementioned stuff, the was the Honeydrippers EP, not to mention this meeting of the minds...

Shoulda retired

Courtesy of Gioia's honorable mention EOY list, this is a pretty creditable cover:

Fucking honeydrippers … who wants to listen to that shit

This song is the real coda to the Led Zeppelin project:

Ugh no

I remember he had similar things to say about The Jam.

In the famous 1980 Melody Maker joint interview “The Punk and the Godfather,” Weller said he didn’t like the Who much, and Townshend said he didn’t like the Jam. Weller was (arguably) at the peak of his career, and Townshend was in the worst shape of his life, addicted to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol. So yeah, both of them revising their opinions 20 years later isn’t inexplicable.

The Rolling Stones hated LZ too iirc.

Weller was obviously lying.

it's crazy how little jimmy has done

Don't forget his guitar solo cameo on "Heaven Knows" and vox and guitar on this gem:

Or maybe I meant ... this gem?

Of course this doesn’t mean they loved each other’s work at the time, but really..

I distinctly remember Townshend in RS saying that Weller had no sense of humor. Not really harsh criticism, just kind of bitchy.

Weller was obviously lying.

I should have clarified that Weller said he did not like the present-day (1980) Who.

Weller and everyone else.

Eminence Front is garbage

It's a put on

"Athena" is a banger. "You Better You Bet" is catchy as hell. But they would have done better to hang it up after Moon died . . . like Zeppelin pretty mch did after Bonham went.

Plant always seems to be more with it and have bigger ears. He did that little Low tribute when Mimi Parker died, to name one recent example. Also always thought he was the one of the two that was into The Cure unless I missed something.

He worked with Port Thompson at the time.

*Porl

I couldn’t decide whether to type Pearl or Porl so I just said The Cure. Although if you search for it all the hits seem to be about touring with the entity known as Page and Plant.

Early facial hair period with jimmy in his little hat. Sounds like the same drum kit used on the first album
