LED ZEP

[william_kent]

@catalog thought we should do a thread

@0bleak has had an interaction

I've always been mystified why Jimmy Page has never been arrested for nonce crimes

 

[william_kent]

a couple of years ago, pre=lockdown. I bought a led zeppelin rerelease from FOPP and the teenage metalhead girl behind the counter quizzed me 'what is your favourite led zeppelin tune?" and my immediate answer was



Immigrant Song

VALHALLA I AM COMING!

as a teen when I was living in a shire I cycled many miles to a Sunday market and bought LED ZEP 3, OG press with the spinning wheel cover, which got caught up and mangled in the front wheel of my racer on the way home

 

[william_kent]

one of my favourite books EVER is the LED ZEP biog, HAMMER OIF THE GODS

Bonham shitting in a groupie shoe story remains ingrained

 

[william_kent]

I laughed so much when Robbie Williams defeated Jimmy Page in a neighbourhood feud by playing BLACK SABBATH at full volume

 

[william_kent]

what are your favourite LED ZEP tunes or stories?

 

[william_kent]

an ill conceived thread - @sufi please DELETE!

 

[william_kent]

there was a lawsuit between Abel Ferrara and the alleged nonce over the use of my favourite rapper

which must make this dissensus turf

Main thought: Bonham had THE FUNK. I'm automatically gonna like anyone that has THE FUNK.

even though he shat in a shoe of a poor teenager who only wanted to tell her schoolmates how she met a rockstar?

well, funk is pretty a nasty thing

 

[william_kent]

but LED ZEP IV

WHEN THE BREAKS BREAK



WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS

@0bleak can be forgiven for his love of funk even though some preteen had to eat shit out of her shoe ( I'm indulging in sicko jokes here )

 

[william_kent]

I'll fetch my coat

I'm a bit out of it

but I have a lot more to say about the curse of ZEP

 

[0bleak]

some of my favorites are Black Dog and Kashmir with the interlocking time signatures

I was sort of alluding to Schoolly D above and his misappropriation of Kashmir in his tune 'Signifying Rapper' in the OST of Abel ferera's bad lieutenant but I got more scared by the non woke rapper hate lyrics than I was by threats of the LEAD BALLOON WEIGHT for copyright strike lawsuit landing on my doorstep

 

[0bleak]

Black Dog switches from 4/4 to 3/4 to 5/4. Then guitar and bass go into 9/8 time while the drums are in 4/4.

Kashmir is in 3/4 with thee drums in 4/4.

But it's not so proggy that it loses me.

 

[william_kent]

so yeah,here is Kashmir



but no way am I going to post Schoollly D signifying rapper

 

[william_kent]

the LOVE OF MY LIFE likes to take coach trips via a UK company so I'm used to boarding a bus in Oldham or Stockport early Saturday morning along with various guys who look like Shaun Ryder's dad - once we were returning from wherever and this came on



WHOLE LOTTA LOVE

it was Christmas, so when this came on between Wham and Mariah I got a bit excited

when I managed an 'Internet cafe' an avant garde jazz sax player supplied me with more than one zep boot and one 3 cd set featured a 55 minute Bonham drum solo of 'whole lotta love'

pure psych

 

[0bleak]

whole lotta funk!

 

[william_kent]

I haven't really mentioned the 1969 Scandinavian bootlegs which are pure fire

 

[0bleak]

are they your fave?
