Fish Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'd say,imo,the reason Nobody's Fault is a favorite is that it showcases the hard rock edge very well.Jimmy is killin' the guitar(the tone,bends,pulloffs),Plant is fast paced without lots of vocalizing,Bonzo is beatin'the skins with power only he could deliver and JPJ uses very hard cutting,fast distinct bass lines.They all come together to create a once in a lifetime great hardrock song.

oldbuckster Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 There is NO wrong answer, it's whatever you feel, this isn't a BEST OF question, best of is so unfair, everyday your favorite song can change, mine does, why not yours?

kaiser SET say Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well as I've told you and Michael the Zep is my favorite band and picking one is like (to coin another members phrase) picking a favorite child! Impossible, but I will tell you although it's far from a get down crunchy song "That's the Way" was really a coming of age song for this Orphan who used that song to pick my sad & poor me butt off the feel sorry for myself binge that I had basically put myself into after my parents passed away in 1970. I moped around for several months wondering what would become of my life as I ended up in the Orphanage and I can't explain how hard that is for a young man fixing to turn 13! Believe it or not Cat Stevens helped me through a lot of hard times too and all I can say is thank God for both and music in general as a strong healing force in my life and as the Oldbuck would say it's all about the music[] Need to jump over so I can populate Thebes thread because I'm setting here on disc 2 of How the West was one right this minute!

billyjoe72 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'll give three in order of goose bumps given. 1. Wanton song. Damn those klipsch play this nice and loud. 2. Ten years gone. 3. Over the hills and far away. A fourth would be Custard pie. I like playing it on drums most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Interesting drum tid bits for When the Levee Breaks The famous drum performance was actually recorded by placing the drumkit and drummer at the bottom of a stairwell at Headley Grange, and recording it using a microphone three stories above, giving the distinctive resonant but slightly muffled sound. The break has long been popular in hip hop and dance music circles for its "heavy" sound and has been used for many tracks, notably including Tomoyasu Hotei's Battle Without Honour Or Humanity from the Kill Bill soundtrack and the Beastie Boys' "Rhymin & Stealin" from their 1986 album Licensed to Ill.

rplace Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 For_anyone_who_hasnt_seen_this_yet_enjoy Thanks! about time somebody put computers to good use. I remember has a teenager taking my techniques TTable and putting the 33/45 speed selector in "neutral" then using my finger to spinn it backwards looking at the strobe marks to try and get the correct speed. I clearly heard, or thought I did, "The power of satan" guess it was whose power is satan. That was freaky. My friend and I about soiled our selves. It was after school and nobody else was in the house. Creepy....good times, now you just have to go to a web site. Kids these days got it so easy.

The lyrics don't seem to support those sounds when played in reverse. How is it it doesn't sound like that reading the lyrics backwards?

colterphoto1 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 It's in Stairway the the backwards track is supposed to sound like 'I sing with satan'. There's a wav file of it on the internet somewhere so you don't have to spin the LP backwards anymore. EDIT ooops I see it was already posted.

oldtimer Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That stuff about Zep and Satan was debunked a long time ago. Just some jealous fundamentalist nazis looking for the next "book" to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I have a quad reel that is perfect for recording and then playing backwards at perfect speed (of course we used to do this 25 years ago while in college when really bored and too poor to go out somewhere). Stairway seems to play back "here's to you my sweet Satan". But it requires many beers and a vivid imagination to hear clearly! BTW, I've always really liked "Bring it on home". A great rocking-blues tune. "How many more times" is also a killer tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You calling me a liar? [] I never heard the rest of the words on that site...but I remember doing it in my room like it was yesterday. I also remember it was the part of the song close to "There are two paths you can go by but in the long run..." and that web site shows the reverse part in that same spot. Seems like too big of a considence. Who knows if it was on purpose or not...but I remember hearing it for the first time and not sleeping all that well that night. Oh to be young again. Back on topic...I'll put in a 2nd choice for Misty Mountain Hop...hey whoopie cat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbuckster Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Here's 0ne that will get some response I bet; What did you guys think of;Unledded by Page and Plant? I thought it was Real Good, really enjoyed some of the versions of Classic Zepp Songs. Great cast of musicians on that set, including a very good drummer Michael Lee, and bassist Charlie Jones. Funny part is most of the songs you guys listed are played on this set. This is not Led Zeppelin, there will NEVER be another Zepp, this is just Jimmy, and Robert singing their songs.How about them sitting around with those musicians in Marrakech, fine stuff.To me, it is a must have,but I also know many people hated that set, but I understand they were looking for Led Zepp. What's not to like , open strings on a stand up bass, a hurdy gurdy man, an Orchestra, Plant and Page together........Mellow is the man................. the Battle of Evermore............another favorite.

colterphoto1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 If ya really wanna hear some interesting versions of Zep songs, get Whole Lotta Blues 'this aint' no tribute'. Classic Zep done by blues artists- takes you back to their roots. 1. Custard Pie - Eric Gales Listen Listen 2. Custard Pie (Revisited) - Matt Tutor/Eric Gales/Derek Trucks Listen Listen 3. Heartbreaker - Alvin 'Youngblood' Hart Listen Listen 4. I Can't Quit You Baby - Otis Rush/Eric Gales Listen Listen 5. When The Levee Breaks (Part 1) - Magic Slim/Billy Branch/James Cotton Listen Listen 6. When The Levee Breaks (Part 2) - Magic Slim/James Cotton Listen 7. Hey, Hey (What Can I Do) - Chris Thomas King Listen 8. Rock N' Roll - Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown Listen 9. You Need Love - Joe Louis Walker/James Cotton Listen 10. Since I've Been Loving You - Otis Clay Listen 11. Good Times, Bad Times - Carl Weathersby Listen 12. Bring It On Home (Part 1) - Robert Lockwood Jr. Listen 13. Bring It On Home (Part 2) - Robert Lockwood Jr. Listen 14. Trampled Underfoot - Eric Gales Listen Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Coming from the people who brought you the excellent Blues Power: Songs of Eric Clapton, it's no surprise that this tribute (oops, the CD cover says, "This Ain't No Tribute," sorry) features a lot of the same musicians. This anthology is likely to upset purists, who may not actually want a Delta-style "When the Levee Breaks" (courtesy of Magic Slim), but check out that harp work from James Cotton on the more upbeat, Chicago version! And Alvin "Youngblood" Hart's take on "Heartbreaker" simply must be heard to be believed; ditto for what Chris Thomas King does with "Hey Hey What Can I Do." Meanwhile, "Rock 'n' Roll" proves that Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown really can do whatever he wants and get away with it. As was said before, Whole Lotta Blues will annoy Zeppelin purists. But blues fans oughta love it. --Genevieve Williams Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
