sure, if you are deaf:nana:

 

They perfectly define shit.

 

If they looked like this:




and the singer sounded like Lou Reed and they had sold 35 copies of their albums, you'd love 'em!

 

yeah, if you like buttsex

CSN without Neil Young providing them with everything vital, should blow themselves out of the water

 

I stand by my statement.

We're what - 100 pages into this thread - and Im not sure I've posted an all out punk record never mind a Ramones record. You keep falling back on these ridiculous caricatures

 

you want some of dis hot fire?

 

serious poster is serious

 

As do I. Wailing maudlin vocals, open shirts & jewelry, lyrics that either read like some Tolkein might write after a brain injury or a parody of black soul, self indulgent diddling by a mediocre guitarist....so fucking bad.

 

LIFE IS A SERIOUS GAME, MAAAN!

 

Jimmy Page just isn't a mediocre guitarist, man... It simply isn't true

 

sounds like there's a bustle in your hedgerow, brah

you need to commune with John Paul Jones in the Misty Mountains and purify your soul

 

Yup, you really shouldn't be posting in any music thread.

RIP

have to say, he pretty much put me to sleep most of the time

still, seemed like a decent dude

 

They're awful.

 

Hut hates groovy things

 

I tend to dislike 'groove based' music, yes. It's generally cheesy as hell.

 

Hut hath no funk

 

No thanks.

 

The problem with Jimmy Page is, from 1977 to the mid 80's, he was so smacked out on heroin, that he was practically useless. He was barely involved in the writing and recording of In Through The Out Door, and his live performances really suffered. You'd still get some good nights from him on the 77 tour and the few shows they did in 79-80, but most of them he sounded terrible. Listen to his solo on All My Love, starting around 3:15. It sounds like he's playing with his feet. It's embarrassing.

But his playing with Zep from the 68 to 75 tours is amazing. That can't even be disputed.

No doubt

Correct on all counts

He was an extremely daring musician... Half of what made him exciting is that he was always pushing the limits, attempting to play things he couldn't quite do yet... That trying and failing on a technical front sometimes created dazzling, unexpected results and twists... A musician should never be afraid to fail, because it is how one gets better... Jimmy Page always pushed himself to the brink... And his genius as a crafter of layers upon layers of harmonies, rhythmic idiosyncracies and melodies is well documented on those records, in particular Physical Graffiti

 

Jimmy Page is from Hounslow

Led Zeppelin III was the first album I ever bought with my own money.

I understand taste is a subjective thing, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone hating the totality of Led Zeppelin's work and influence.

And Page being mediocre??? That is impossible for me to fathom.

 

Dude is one of the most interesting, idosyncratic guitarists ever

I could understand hating certain songs (I definitely do) but dismissing the whole??? Insane, to me... The worst thing about Zeppelin was Robert Plant, but he could yell whatever the fuck he wants and the awesomeness of John Paul Jones shines through
