opsopcopolis Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I am a huge Zeppelin fan. But with that said, I have little interest in the pseudo reunion show(s). No Bonzo; No Zep IMHO I am interested in some stuff from the vaults. There are tons of Zep boots out there, but I would love to hear some cleaned up alternate takes, unreleased, demos, etc. You should give it a listen anyway. It's really pretty damn good and Jason does a great job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Ditto that. Its still in the family, still a Bonham at the drum stool who was taught by his dad, its really really good. If you love Zepp, it'd be a shame for you to miss seeing and hearing how damn good they STILL can be after all these years and at their ages, even if it was only for one night. Just think of them as the best Zepp cover band that ever will be! I appreciate your adherence to the rule of no Bonzo, no Zepp, but loosen up your rules for a couple hours and let this music in, it'll make ya feel good if do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I read earlier today that some LZ songs are going to be used in next week's episode of Revolution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 ^ I saw that too (possibly in the same place haha) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I saw on Yahoo news (and then at that other place). Is that that only use besides the Cadillac commercial and Fast Times At Ridgemont High? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I saw on Yahoo news (and then at that other place). Is that that only use besides the Cadillac commercial and Fast Times At Ridgemont High? IMDB has the full listing - quite a few. More than I would have guessed.

Analogman Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 This makes me feel old: In addition to today's CELEBRATION DAY releases, this is also the 30th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's CODA album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Me too! I got that for my 20th birthday (12/8/82). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 This is surprising (by way of Billboard.com) The surviving members of Led Zeppelin are staying up late next week. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones are set to visit the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Monday (Dec. 3) for a rare joint interview. The legendary band and Letterman will have plenty to talk about: both will have just been honored at the 35th Annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C. That event won't be broadcast on CBS until the day after Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 why get together to do these press interviews instead of showing up and playing?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I am sure it's a lot easier just to talk, rather than playing. It nice that they are going to be on Letterman, rather than another talk show. I did get the blu-ray of Celebration Day - it is pretty damn good. Haven't watched the whole thing, yet, though.

opsopcopolis Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 why get together to do these press interviews instead of showing up and playing?! Because Robert clearly still doesn't want to. Kennedy Center Honors is also never a playing gig for the honorees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have been listening to Led Zeppelin for 40 years. I must have listened to Presence 700+ times the first year it came out. Today, for the first time, I heard the snort in "For Your Life". I laughed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The Letterman promos make it appear that the band is going to perform. LZ is one of the most important bands of my life. and I'd love to see them play, but I have very little interest in hearing them respond to one-liners. I expect there will be a lot of people feeling cheated tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well they are going to be on Letterman - so people's hopes shouldn't be too high - love Letterman, but I am sure he is not going to be asking Jimmy what the set up was on the amp during the recording of "For Your Life", though he may ask about the snort. Listening to the Celebration Day cd this morning - it is pretty damn good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Letterman can be a fanboy...he will be goofy with them for a bit, but I'm sure Robert's serious, no bullshit personality will make David VERY uncomfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Watched the Celebration Day dvd at home this weekend. Wife was out of town, so I got to crank it. Damn, I've got a fair amount of concert dvd's, and this may be the best of them all. Didn't grow up a huge LZ fan, so it's a surprise to me that this zoomed to the top of my charts. But the performance of the music is undeniable. And it clearly comes through the screen how much Jimmy Page loves playing these songs. I would rate this a "must have" for even the most casual of LZ fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Presence (along with LZ I) is still my favorite album of theirs. The only LZ album that one could find in the cut-out bins. It has such a cold sterile sound - which is one of the reason people did not go for it as much as the other albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to hear other fans are digging it, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Not a great interview (Dave seems to take forever to ask a question that shouldn't take quite that long), but JPJ is one funny smartass dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has such a cold sterile sound - which is one of the reason people did not go for it as much as the other albums.That might be part of its appeal for me. Cold, detached. The music itself is rather morose. You can almost hear the drugs humming through the music. But (as I've said before) it might be Jimmy's greatest work on the guitar(s). Achilles is the very definition of "epic". Nobody's Fault is wall-to-wall guitar blitzkrieg. Tea For One (to me) updates the "Since I've Been Loving You" vibe, but is even sadder. And the space between the notes on things like For Your Life and Royal Orleans just make those tunes swing like a motherfucker. Not a song on that LP that I don't love. Jimmy Page looks like a country squire.John Paul Jones looks like a cool uncle.Robert Plant looks like the crypt keeper. Nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
