Led Zeppelin????? Heavily overrated.

When you listen to what he added it's clear they had to break up, they just couldn't have been as good without him. They knew what they were doing. And I don't even have the DVD yet. I plan to get it soon, like within the next couple of weeks at the latest. Thing is, it's so hot out here in SoCal that I don't even want to go to places that are necessities, much less for pleasure. From the morning til night it's...just... HOT. I HATE it when it's this hot.

Ok. Now that I've stopped salivating for the moment, I feel I can post a coherent response.

And that is.....



But seriously, most people on this board know by now (if they ever read any of my other posts) that I am obsessed with Zeppelin.

I got into them when I was about 11 or 12, and the rest is history.

Oh, and Supernova, you're absolutely right about Bonzo. I was watching the DVD again last night and when it got to Moby Dick (The Royal Albert Hall part, 1970) and Bonzo, I really WATCHED the whole thing this time. (it's about a 17 min. drum solo)

The MAN WAS MINDBLOWING! There are really no words to describe how amazing this man was. I actually cried when it was over, because he was so talented and it makes me sad every time I watch him. Sad that he's not around anymore.

Ok, now I can start my usual picture posting frenzy....

Bonzo

And well, damn....the hottest man on the planet.....

Bonzo was one of the greatest drummers I've ever heard in my life!!! Led Zeppelin was and is one of the greatest bands. They could play any type of modern music to me. The DVD is awesome, but I like the CD version a little better. One of my favs How the West Was Won is Black Dog. The way Bonzo doubles up on the drumming is phenomenal, along with Jimmy Page's guitary, Robert Plant's awesome singing, and John Paul's bass playing. That group was and still is the baddest and fiercest to me!!

OUT!

I agree.

I am literally addicted to that DVD. I make my husband watch it with me all the time. He's aware of my obsession though. In fact, I got him into Zeppelin. He bought me the "How the West Was Won" CD last year, and was blown away by it.

Pretty good considering he's a total funk-head and rarely listened to anything that wasn't funky, except for a few New Wave bands here and there.

nice pics.

heybaby said:

Thanks. Don't flatter me for my pics though because I think I am known for not being able to stop posting pics of the band. I already had to restrain myself this time, because I have hundreds and I could just go on and on with them.

minneapolisgenius said:

Then you and my friend would be ridiculous together...I think she's has hundreds as well...we're always killing each other with the picture showing...me=Prince, her=Led Zep

Probably the most influencial rock band of all time after The Beatles.

One of my best friends (and former roomate) is as fanatical about Zepplin as I am about Prince (in fact, more so!). He's got TONS of Zepplin memorabilia, and everyone calls him "Zep". He's educated me about their music to an incredible degree. One of the few bands that I own all of their original studio albums (I still need to pick up all the live discs, and the BBC thingy).

I was listening to Physical Graffiti today and it occured to me what a great rock n roll album it wouldve been in its original format

Custard Pie
In My Time Of Dying
Trampled Underfoot
Kashmir
In The Light
Ten Years Gone
The Wanton Song
Sick Again

Even in its abbreviated original form it wouldve still been their strongest album. Sick Again in particular rules, those licks are so sleazy.

Well hello! And welcome back to your own thread!



I jacked it a bit, didn't I?

You have to introduce me to your friend then. I probably already know her from the Zeppelin site I'm always on though. I don't have that many Prince pics myself.

I can never decide what album of their is my favorite, but "Physical Graffiti" might just be it.

minneapolisgenius said:

Me too! I go through times when I'm really into one album or another, but I always come back to "Phys". Fucking great stuff!

JediMaster said:

Also, Physical Graffiti was the first Zeppelin album I bought when I was around 12. I had never heard them before (except maybe for "Stairway" on the radio or something). I remember laying on the floor and just playing it over and over again. I wanted to figure out the lyrics, and I had this big notebook that I would write the lyrics down as I heard them, so I could remember them better.

minneapolisgenius said:

For me, I'd heard their stuff growing up, but I remember hearing "Kashmir" and just being blown away! It was (and still is) one of the coolest songs I'd ever heard. After that, I wanted to hear EVERYTHING by them.

Cool to see so many Zep fans here.

I got into them when I was in jr high when I bought IV and have been hooked ever since (I got into zep right around the same time as Prince...I think maybe 83?). Some things about their stuff, it never ages. Also, everyone agrees that Bonzo was the backbone of that band and Pagey was right to disband after his death. As the years have gone by...I can honestly say at this point of my life my fave albums are Physical Graffiti, III, Houses of the Holy, & (still) IV.

Finally, after 1 year that How The West Was Won came out, I am still listening to at least one of the discs everyday. I just friggin love that set (the DVD is kick ass too...of course)

How about ALL MY LOVE?

I really like that one.
