Damn, looking back at Lead Zeppelin, they completely sucked!

[noseminer]

i thought just about every song on the first album is a cover or has some stolen material somewhere in it. I mean can you realistically write and record an album of all new material in 40 hours or what ever?

good times bad times - dont know about this one maybe they <gasp> wrote all of it?
babe im gonna leave you - cover
you shook me - muddy waters i think
dazed and confused - yardbirds song
your time is gonna come - rip off of dear mr fantasy i think
black mountain side - old folk song
communication break down - ripp off of nervous breakdown
i can't quit you baby - willie dixon song
how many more times - mix between how many more years and the hunter, and the solo is stolen from jeff beck

Where did you get the bit about "40 hours?" Just curious.

on the wikipedia it says 36 hours of studio time, although i guess they had a bit more time to "arrange" the stolen riffs.

I think Physical Graffiti is one of the best albums of all time, regardless of where the material came from.

+ 1

Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock 'n roll bands of all times. Its not even open for debate.

HOWEVER, they could be sloppy as fuck live. It cracks me up that Page thinks How The West Was One was them at their peak. Its actually them fucked up out of their minds playing sloppy as fuck. They were in America for the first time, and it was like one giant party. Hell, they ended early the first night so they could go hit up the bars.

At the same time, if you watch the Dutch Radio Show thing on the latest Zeppelin DVD, where its all black and white, an age is using the Telecaster, you will see why Zeppelin is fucking incredible. Such an amazing performance.

BTW, the entitled spoiled prick attitude that you seem so fond of does nothing but help tarnish your Fathers legacy.

If his son is this much of a prick, I wonder what the man who raised him is like?

He even spelled it Lead Zeppelin...he's looking for comments.
He baited the trap, you all jumped in ya bunch of lemmings!

After seeing their new shit that they are pimping on HBO, it is clear (and I always new this) that John Bonham was the most talented and greatest musician of this enigma band –Page and Plant suck! Page was always out of his range like Mercury.

Page is a complete joke. He even wrote that when he heard my father, Fred Gerlach, playing Gallows Pole on 12-string that he had a major revelation. My father is a 12-string master and builder. Page then went on to write and say that he, Page completely rewrote my dad's version of Gallows Pole and then called it his own. The reason, 1.) Page can't play a 12-string guitar, 2.) It took a shit load of LSD for Page to believe that he is a legend in his own mind.

Led Zeppelin was nothing more than a LSD cult band and they sucked and stole music from so many great musicians, and it is well documented. Black musicians particularly.

Flame suit on, lemmings…

This coming from a guy that has probably the most overrated guitarist/band ever in his avatar.

 

[lefchr]

Page that bastard, completely rewrote my dads version of stairway to heaven too. What a asshole

 

[Mudder]

And my Mom's version of The Lemon Song....

you're giving him too much credit.....he spelled it correctly in his first post. It's another lame ass attempt of trolling by Queen Krimson

 

[thiswaythatway]

Wow, looks like Carl really did win his war against Queen Crimson. Carl is pulling the puppet strings and Queen Crimson is dancing like the bitch that he is.

 

[jkdsteve]

C- thread...must troll harder...

 

[King Crimson]

i wish i sucked enough to write songs like four sticks, no quater, the rain song,

Stole - not even original... any guess?

 

[King Crimson]

And slao desrve a good bitch slapping for leaving copyright off tunes...Williw Dixon suing them and winning comes to mind.

And about 500 others that they ripped off without any recognition.

Page is a total rip when it comes to composition - period!

 

[King Crimson]

i think it was only a couple songs off the first album and a song off the second album they "covered", and in the notes it says who wrote those songs.

Igonorance is bliss...

 

[King Crimson]

gerlach! wassup bro!? That's cool as hell about your dad. I'm a ZEP lemming and proud of it.

LOL - How you doing bro?

 

[thiswaythatway]

Diver Down was such a classic album filled with original songs.

 

[King Crimson]

the negative bastard strikes again with even more negative shite talking from his ass! suprise, suprise!

Open wide Mr. Kipper. I just had 3.

Wake me up when you can write a tune as good as Tens Years Gone.
