Led Zep - Wei Shan Yang - 01-19-2011
Some New Seers music...
When you die you face the Eagle. The Eagle asks you a question..."did you listen to Led Zeppelin when in your tonal exisitence?" If you answer yes, you may be allowed to pass, if you answer no, the Eagle devours you. It might have devoured you anyway, but this was a no brainer...no one can face the crushing power of Infinity AND not like Led Zeppelin...its just one of those warrior facts.
A Power Band
Bonzo sounds like he's 3 drummers rolled into one.
Jimmy Page inspires our magical mysterious yearning for the unknown.
John Paul Jones is the rock, stability of the band...lending his talents (musical know-how) in ways many didn't realize unless you read up on the band.
Robert Plant is just pure sexual explosion and kind of a "good father" essence.
Without further ado:
Awesome

When I was younger in my twenties, I was often told I reminded people of R. Plant because we both had long blond hair and had similar facial features. I have always thought Page was the best guitarist in the world ever, seen him in concert once and he was amazing with his violin string on the guitar. My favorite Zep song?
The Lemon Song..

"I was often told I reminded people of R. Plant because we both had long blond hair and had similar facial features."
R. Plant is a hottie, I used to fantasize about him often. He's still my favorite band member, I still followed his music after Zep...saw him in concert.
The Lemon Song...ooooh baby...mmmmmmmm....

I was watching an episode of the Simpsons the other day...they are in England and Homer sees Jimmy Page and says, "Hey there goes Jimmy Page...England's biggest ripper off of American black music"...hehe, yes Homer is correct..but Jimmy did such a good job of it so must be forgiven and... thanked actually, because he enhanced it if you ask me.
And here's one Jonesy lended his riffs to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFI36dir_Ro
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTIyODczNzQ0.html
Their last album, In Through the Out Door is interesting departure from others...like they were venturing into new territory. The album doesn't know what it wants to be...a touching ballad, All of My Love, a sugary sweet marathon song that little resembles rock n' roll, Carouselambra,..(I like that one too...Jonesy again) jumpy tunes like Hot Dog and South Bound Saurez, latin rhythmed Fool in the Rain, swanky blues, I'm Gonna Crawl, ...but the best of them, I think, is In the Evening. It peaks my imagination, especially the beginning sounds...I see a red sunset, open horizon.
"Oh it's simple, All the pain that you go through
You can turn away from fortune, fortune, Cause that's all that's left to you
It's lonely at the bottom, Man, it's dizzy at the top
But if you're standing in the middle, Ain't no way you're gonna stop
*Chorus: Oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I just got to have
Oh whatever that your days may bring
No use hiding in a corner, Cause that won't change a thing
If you're dancing in the doldrums, One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stop
When you're the master of the off-chance, When you don't expect a lot"
'off chance'...cubic centimeter of chance
'When you don't expect a lot' ...intend your future instead. To intend is not to expect, its to KNOW...then wait for IT to arrive.

This is what started it all for me (video is supposed to be In the Mood). I was 12 and 'saw' Robert Plant for the first time on MTV. I fell instantly in love... with his eyes. I had of course grown up with Led Zeppelin music in the backdrop of my childhood...my sister and uncle being older than me had their albums and I heard their songs playing, but being just a kid didn't pay much attention to it. Then when I saw Robert it really changed me, my whole existence took on a new energy and quest. I began delving into metaphysical more after that for example.
Then I saw he was not just a solo artist but in the band Led Zeppelin and all this music I had heard and liked but never consciously noticed. So then I spent about 10 years being really really into this band (my entire teenage years). So there you have it. I think Led Zep has affected a lot of people on a visceral level. Imagine a world without them...shutter at the thought.
ROBERT PLANT
"The Enchanter"
She moves through the mountains and down to the sea
She sings in celebration with her piper for me
She's leading the man who's beating the drum
Love is all around her on the road to the sun
Round, round, moving me round
Round, round the air
She's lost in conversation with the birds of the air
She's trading information in a world without fear
She's fixing up a potion made of laughter and love
And I will follow the enchanter on the road to the sun
Round, round, moving me round
Round, round, round
Oh that the stars will light my way
Oh as my tides dance the ebb and sway
She's studying the planets and she's searching for signs
Her eyes promise mystery and her treasure to find
She's mixing my emotions it's so easily done
In a league with the enchanter on the road to the sun
Oh that the stars will light my way
Oh as my tides dance the ebb and sway
It's so very easily done
She moves through the mountains and down to the sea
She sings in celebration with her piper for free
She's leading the man who's beating the drum
And love is all around her on the road to the sun

LZ rocks hard.
But their artistic merit isn't as much a result of the talent of any one member, but in the unmatchable synergy of them together.
Led Zep - ninth octave - 01-22-2011
I have always been amazed with Robert Plant's package. lol, they didn't come any bolder than his. I'm sorry I missed the glory days of Led Zeppelin. The one concert came together and went in 2007. It was another time not to be relived again . Page & Plant's differences reconciled is good enough. I follow Plant's abounding musical abilities. I did see him in concert in 2oo5 . He and Alison Kraus did an award winning album "Raising Sand". He sings with a bluegrass/country western flare and sounds just as youthful today with another album put out in 2010.
I don't know what happened to his facial features. Quite scarry. Now he is an older lion, but stills sings with a golden voice.
Please Read the Letter That I Wrote and Polly Come Home is a great song from Raising Sand

Polly Come Home
If the wild bird could speak
she'd tell of places you have been
she's been in my dreams
and knows all the ways of the wind
Polly, come home again
spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
as it begins
dreams cover much of time
still they leave blind
the will to begin
I searched for you there
and now look for you

Led Zep - sear - 01-23-2011
LZ fans may enjoy reading the book about them. I forget the title. It may be named Thor's Hammer.
I think LZ also made at least one feature length movie. I saw some of it, but couldn't stick with it to the end.
But their music is immortal.
Long live LZ!!
Led Zep - Wei Shan Yang - 01-23-2011
Yes Sear its Hammer of the Gods. I read it, and also read that Plant and Page say it was greatly exaggerated...their sexual escapades and disagreements between members etc. Page and Plant were not happy with it. It was unauthorized. It did inform me things about them though that I'm sure are true. But yes, it probably was very exaggerated and not told with the 'heart' that was in the band.
Ninth, yes Plants still beautiful. He has genetics that make him look older than he is...though when you have a youth such as his was, its hard to keep that appearance. But Mick Jagger on the other hand started out looking very old and now people say he looks good for his age, lol. Its all very strange and aging is no fun, but Robert's still hot and has hot body
Cool... you got to see Led Zep in 2007, did you? Yes, you and I have always shared a deep love for LZ, I remember.
Led Zep - Wei Shan Yang - 01-23-2011
Speaking of aging...I was looking at a current video of Page Plant recording "Hole in Bucket" I think its called and goes something like..."there's a hole in the bucket and the fear can't stay in" or somethign like that. So I was looking at Page and remarking how he's aged. He used to look so frail like a soft gail could just blow him away. I used to worry about his health too. But now he looking very solid and has some real gravity to his constitution that when he's next to the other musicians he looks like an unmovable rock by comparison. And his face...he looks Japanese now! lol
Led Zep - sear - 01-23-2011
"Yes Sear its Hammer of the Gods." WY
- dang -
That's right. It slipped my mind.
Thanks.
Actually I didn't read it. I dated a gal that did.
She told me the reason LZ spelled the "Led" in LZ that way was so the daft Americans would pronounce it to rhyme with "greed".
I forgot to mention before, NPR's Terry Gross did an interview of Robert Plant; nearly an hour long I think.
It's interesting, worth a listen for dyed in the wool LZ fans.
Thanks for correcting my title error WY.
Led Zep - Wei Shan Yang - 01-23-2011
And thanks as well for your info Sear. I love to hear about LZ. I have not read up on them in a while and particularly Robert, who I had always followed more closely, but am sort of getting back into them, giving the old songs a perusal
Dancing Days are here again...dadadada da
Led Zep - Wei Shan Yang - 01-25-2011
Since I was recently reminded of Hammer of the Gods, I decided to look it up on Wiki.
I found this interesting, especially what Robert wrote, because honestly, I read that book when I was abotu 15 and it made Robert Plant out into a MAJOR womanizer, and I mean major...like he needed 5 groupies a night every night. So I had this image of him in my head of being this sex maniac and it never donned on me he may have spent many nights in hotel alone, lol. You know, like a real person. The book did not damage my liking him as a person, it just shaded my view of him in a way that was exaggerated. I'm sure he's been with lots of women in his time and especially since his career makes that so easy to do, and the songs they wrote pretty much reveal this. But the way the book was written made the band members appear super human but not a in very good way (and not just about sex but in how they dealt with each other and tour people etc). and they come off as not like real people with real feelings and struggles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_of_ ... Daniloff-1
Criticism
The book has been the subject of much criticism. All three surviving members of the band have cast doubts on its accuracy,[3] with one article summarising their collective view of the book as a "catalogue of error and distortion."[4]
Guitarist Jimmy Page has stated:
I think I opened [the book] up in the middle somewhere and started to read it, and I just threw it out the window. I was living by a river then, so it actually found its way to the bottom of the sea.[5]
According to the band's vocalist Robert Plant:
The guy who wrote that book knew nothing about the band. I think he'd hung around us once. He got all his information from a guy who had a heroin problem who happened to be associated with us. The only thing I read was the "After Zeppelin" part, because I was eager to get on with the music and stop living in a dream state.[6]
One of the author's primary sources of information was Richard Cole, the band's tour manager. As Plant explained
He (Davis) did a lot of investigations with a guy who used to work with Led Zeppelin, Richard Cole, who, over the years, had shown deep frustration at not being in a position to have any authority at all. He was tour manager, and he had a problem which could have been easily solved if he’d been given something intelligent to do rather than check the hotels, and I think it embittered him greatly. He became progressively unreliable and, sadly, became a millstone around the neck of the group.
These stories would filter out from girls who’d supposedly been in my room when in fact they’d been in his. That sort of atmosphere was being created, and we were quite tired of it. So eventually we relieved him of his position … And in the meantime he got paid a lot of money for talking ****. A lot of the time he wasn’t completely …well. And so his view of things was permanently distorted one way or another.[7]
Cole subsequently published his own biography of the band, entitled Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin Uncensored.
Davis has responded to these criticisms in interviews,[8] maintaining that Hammer of the Gods "was a book that outed members of Led Zeppelin as heroin addicts, and as people that brutalized other people."[2]

This was for son Karac, who died at age 5. Beautiful, beautiful song.
I think we (Zep fans) all resonate with it for someone/s in our own life.

Led Zep - Wei Shan Yang - 01-25-2011
This is one of my most most favorite Zep...and I always thought other fans did not share the sentiment..odd thought, because actually have no idea since I never did take a survey on it to find out. No I think maybe I heard some fans say it didn't 'sound like' Led Zep so they didn't like it as much. But its because Jonesy had most of the composing in this one, so it does depart a bit from typical sound though they never stuck to typical strictly, typical just meaning bluesy/guitar.
I like the upward progression of music scale...and the bursting energy and stays through the song (except for one middle part...which I like that too).

My Internet access at home is broadband.
So clicking a link to a video is a waste of time.
I've got nearly every album LZ produced, including two different boxed sets. (the one album I tried to avoid buying is the one with the family on the cover). (But I think that one may be on one of the boxed sets.)
What's the name of the track dedicated or inspired by the dead 5 year old?
Led Zep - LeeKuanMajor - 01-25-2011
I remember I had scored some orange sunshine acid and was coming up, at home, during summer vacation as I listened to Houses of the Holy. Talk about an album cover to trip out on orange sunshine by. It sure did take you away. From my studies I've learned that Led Zeppelin was going through a very happy period in their career when they recorded this album.
*I
had all the best original albums I owned shipped to me and, if I want
to, I can go and look at the actual Houses of the Holy cover I was
looking at on that particular orange sunshine day. I'm not the type of
person to make such a claim without being able to prove it so I just
went and found the album cover and am looking at it now. It's in
amazingly good condition considering this is indeed the same album cover
I was spacing out to on that day. The vinyl record jacket has the words
of the songs on it. I believe this was the first time Led Zeppelin had
the words of their songs printed in this manner.
Led Zeppelin has been very influential on my original music and the style I've created which I call: Embryonic Music (the song of life)
Believe it or not, on my Spanish guitar, I can play Zeppelin songs like Houses of the Holy, Over the Hills & Far Away, Immigrant Song, Hangman, Misty Mountain Hop, Four Sticks, an original variation of Celebration Day and some others, when I am in the mood. I play them with a pick on my Spanish guitar and give it everything I've got, standing up in a legs spread heavy metal stradle stance, complete with Pete Townshend, of the Who, swinging of the arm in an arch.
I don't do it very often anymore, but I can when I am inspired to do so. I eventually intend to be recording a medley, with my new recording equipment, because I have NEVER (((EVER))) seen (((ANYONE))) play Zeppelin on a Spanish guitar the way I do. I use the guitar I bought when I was at the Military School of Music and after the bridge piece wore down I replaced it with a carburetor & choke cleaner straw. I periodically change the straws, as I now have quite a collection of them from used contact cleaner cans. The action on that Spanish guitar is low and the contact cleaner straw, as a bridge, gives the guitar a natural buzz tone when I play it loud which sounds VERY COOL when I am playing Zeppelin.
It has been my casual belief that Jimmy Page somehow accessed, through occult means, a sacred sound that he stole in order to incorporate into his Crowley inspired sex magick music. I have developed the ability to take the very best of that sound and leave the blasphemous perversion behind. This is the basis of my original Embryonic Music style.
I am being fully honest here. When I am in the mood and playing Zeppelin on my Spanish guitar Jimmy Page would not be able to compete with me. I am indeed very muscular & dynamic!
Just being honest
Led Zep - LeeKuanMajor - 01-25-2011
My big gripe with you, SEAR, in your forum has been that you tend to pass judgment against people without doing any worthwhile research. You did it with James Arthur Ray and you have done it with me.
My above post was specifically created to prove you wrong in your assessment of me as being young and inexperienced. About how old would I had to have been to be dropping orange sunshine acid, during summer break, when the album Houses of the Holy was first released, eh? I have offered much proof to prove you wrong and still, in your forum, you believe I am just young and inexperienced.
I would imagine you still think I am lying. You can't expect a liar to believe that others are telling the truth. Such a person automatically assumes that everyone else is also lying. That's just the way it is!
Oh well....

If you can't see YouTube clips you are are missing the best the Internet has to offer. For crying out loud, what? Do you live in a bloody swamp? Get high speed Internet access and see what you have been missing. Once I got high-speed Internet access and discovered YouTube my Internet life changed forever. You're still living in the Internet 'Dark Ages'. If you can't watch YouTube you might as well still be using dial-up service.

You people tend to talk Castaneda don Juan jargon as though you really know what you are talking about. However, when it comes to real demonstrations of power all you really have is talk and...your tales of power.
In order to play Led Zeppelin as I do, on Classical Guitar, I have to tap into the realm of the miraculous. It's the only way for me to do Led Zeppelin songs the justice they deserve.
I have a saying: "I used to play guitar. Now, I play the miraculous!"
Notice how dynamic my posts on this thread are. They practically explode onto the scene. This is a real demonstration of Personal Power presented. Everyone else's posts just kind of wimp along and then suddenly I post here and ((((BOOM!!!)))) you are blown away. This is REAL PERSONAL POWER, as spoken about by Castaneda's don Juan. You are seeing a very real demonstration of power and, of course, it makes the phony supposed warriors uncomfortable.
That is to be expected

Every time I would come across a new magazine

I would buy and save them.
I have quite a collection!
It's fair to say that no other rock group
has directly influenced my original music
quite like Led Zeppelin
