Led Zeppelin

[colson]

I hear you guys talking about all this new age music that sounds like shit to me. I was just wondering if you guys liked good old fashioned Led Zeppelin.
:cheers:

[Kommie]

Yes I do and stairway to heaven is not my favorite song contrary to that damn quiz.

[f|uke]

Zeps good. Not my fav, but I respect it and do enjoy some of their songs.

Led Zep are great. Not my favourite band, but they're tons of fun once in a while. Favourite albums would be II and IV. I'm not that big a Stairway fan myself; I tend to like their more "down-and-dirty" stuff like Black Dog and Rock And Roll.

[DeusExMachina]

They're cool.

Black Dog is a great f*ckin' song. I love Led Zepplin.

[Bad^Hat]

Yep. Infact, I'm gonna put them on right now.

[KagePrototype]

Led Zeppelin are brilliant, but if I was going to choose anything "old fashioned" I'd stick with Lynyrd Skynyrd. :)

[Absinthe]

Don't like. Don't hate. I just think they're overrated.

If you're looking for an album, definately get "pronounced leh-nerd skin-erd". That one's got a couple of classics on it (namely Tuesday's Gone and Free Bird), and is always a good start. If you're not much on southern-style rock, you probably won't like it (except Free Bird; EVERYONE likes that one :) ), but they're definately one of the best US rock bands I've listened to in a long time; and they kick the crap out of a lot of modern US rock bands as well. :p

You've probably already heard Sweet Home Alabama a few thousand times, so you don't have to get that one. :p

[Ennui]

I love Led Zeppelin - although Tool and Nine Inch Nails have replaced them as my favorite artist.

[Marius]

Led Zep, the seminal band of rock, without them, music would be a lot different than it is now.

[StardogChampion]

Don't like. Don't hate. I just think they're overrated.
Yeah, I only like a few of their songs. The Ocean, Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir and a Whole Lotta Love. The rest that I listened to weren't too hot.

[Space Farm]

Led Zepplin has to be the most overrated band ever.

I stilll love them though and own heaps of their CD's (and records)!

[Kommie]

Led Zepplin has to be the most overrated band ever.
They may be overrated but, comeon. metallica takes the cake for most overrated.

[el Chi]

Black Dog is a great f*ckin' song. I love Led Zepplin.
I listened to that today actually - God it's amazing. :)
I wouldn't say they're over-rated necessarily, but their pretentiousness can be a bit wearing at times...

"What, Jimmy? You want another guitar solo? But you've already got four... Alright alright, but only so long as we can have another verse where I get to squeal a lot."

"Hmmm... Ok Robert, but John wants a drum solo that lasts four minutes, doesn't really go anywhere and doesn't actually sound so great."

"Sure, why not. How long is this song going to be?"

"Erm - half an hour."

"Perfect. What's that John Paul? No you can't have a f*cking bass solo, you demanding bastard. For God's sake, where are we going to fit that in!? Now shut up and do as you're told."

[Space Farm]

They may be overrated but, comeon. metallica takes the cake for most overrated.

Oh yeah forgot about Metallica...

[Kommie]

Oh yeah forgot about Metallica...
I will forgive you this time....... :laugh:

[Bad^Hat]

Haha, brilliance El Chi :E

Don't diss Bonzo again :|

lol, any chance you're a bassist? :E

[cschaef13]

Led Zeppelin rules, Metallica sucks, especially the new stuff ****ing licks my balls

Hey man I like metallica too. I absolutley hate their new album though. They've sold out.

Haah if I wasn't laughing right now at the sarcasm I would be pissed off.

[Bad^Hat]

So... trying something different and taking a risk means selling out now? Great album.

[SupremePain]

no, ditching your fans to hit a larger audience means selling out. I dunno this whole "selling out" thing is pretty lame, either you like their newer music or you don't... i personly hated st. anger....

NOBODY MESSES WITH THE ZEPPELIN!
Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all time :)

[Kommie]

Metallica sold out the minute they picked up instruments

[el Chi]

:) No, but I just thought it was funny how they all got to show off except for John Paul Jones. He was a good bassist too, but ultimately a bit forgettable. I always have trouble remembering his name, like all the other anonyous bassists named John: John Deacon of Queen (the blandest non-entity ever to step into tiny shorts and play an instrument); John Entwistle of The Who; John the bassist from The Libertines (buggered if I know his last name) to name just three examples.

Part of me wishes the bassist for Led Zeppelin was Pope John Paul II, but that's another story for another day.

*laff*

john from the who is an amazing bassist, he looks quite akward playing though

[Milkman]

I have the Box Set (the CD One). Best $50 I have ever spent... EVER :D

[PoeticRocker]

John Deacon would rock with his short shorts, cheesy t-shirts, and kicking beats.

[Seppo]

I like Led Zeppelin. I used to be their biggest fan, and started to collect bootlegs. I was going to get all the bootlegs out there, but then came Iron Maiden and there was no turning back

[colson]

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying it's just f**kin weak. They just aren't Metallica anymore.

[Bad^Hat]

Okay, so how about when you make a band you write and perform the same tired shit for 20 years and see if you don't feel like a change? They tried something different, people are bound not to like it, so don't make a big thing out of it because you built them up into something they're not.

[Fat Tony!]

I only like one song by led zeppelin so I suppose I don't like them much.

Oh and btw metallica are not overrated.

[Zerimski]

I hereby declare that if anyone votes " WTF? Whos Led Zeppelin?", I will dig the name out of the logs and ban it :P

[el Chi]

But he's so bland! :)

[Homless Snark]

I heard of Stairway to Heaven, since i'm a guitar player heh. And never really payed much attention to them, then one day one of my best buds sent me over AIM every single cd of zepplin (there his fav band) and i'm really enjoying it, blast to learn to play to.

They tried something different, people are bound not to like it, so don't make a big thing out of it because you built them up into something they're not.It's great that they're trying new things, but when they do songs like "Invisible Kid" at 45-years-old, "sell out" immediately comes to mind. They toned down and went for the money, plain and simple. And it worked, to an extent - they alienated a ton of people but made up for it in new fans. To say Metallica didn't chase the money is like saying In Flames got bored of being a great death metal band, so they decided to become a shitty nu-metal (not that nu-metal is inheretly shitty, but that In Flames have become shitty).

Thread hijack, sorry.

[Bad^Hat]

Fair enough, I don't really pay attention to lyrics :D

[The Monkey]

*Bump*

Suck on this performance!

[nipples]

I believe I orgasmed.

[Warped]

I have all their music and used to listen to them since i was a kid. But you gotta be in the mood to listen to them.

[Ennui]

Good lord what a bump. I haven't seen this thread in over 4 years, isn't that weird? My post earlier in it is PRE MODERATOR Ennui!

I ****ing love Zeppelin and can listen to as much of it as anyone else wants to hear at any time in any mood. I also am known to frequently break out into various Zeppelin songs.

Kickass video Monkey.

[swan_song1973]

led zeppelins my favorite band of the 1970s, tied with pink floyd.

[The Monkey]

Have you guys listened to How The West Was Won? ****ing extraordinary album.

[ComradeBadger]

Incredible band... just wonderful :)

[Halfman]

led zeppelins my favorite band of the 1970s, with pink floyd. Deep purple,Uriah heep and more.They were stars om my generation. In my ****ing ex-USSR we have buy his LPs for all earning money(1 PL) and were hungry but hear them.
till now I hearing them all and I wonder about the Lady s group Lez Zeppelin.but immpossible in my Ukraine to buy them CD yet

[swan_song1973]

one of the best, if not best live albums ever.

[Lucid]

They're okay.
Not a huge fan, I like one or two songs.

When the Levees Break and Stairway to Heaven.

[VirusType2]

They were awesome, but after listening to them since I was a kid, I'm bored of all but about 2 of their songs. But I agree that How The West Was Won is a great set.

I never got bored of most of Pink Floyd's songs even though I've been listening to them for about the same length of time. Led Zeppelin is just too repetitive and relied on their ground breaking 'sound', which lost it's punch.

Their influence may have been greater than any other band.

I'm the exact opposite.
