JaredR59 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Which do you think is better Stairway to Heaven or Kashmir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrocker Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 "Kashmir" for me, though I must admit thanks to massive overplay of "Stairway" and "Kashmir" I'm heartily sick of both at this point. From a songwriting perspective, though, "Stairway" is probably the better composition. "Kashmir" is not only a very repetitive piece of music -which at least partly explains so many iffy live performances of the piece- but it is also at least two minutes too long...

Nutrocker Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 In My time of Dying, Actually. Might as well say "Achilles Last Stand" and "No Quarter" as well...but that's not what the OP was asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I like both songs but I prefer Kashmir. I'll leave it to the critics and musicologists to determine which is the better song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phredzeppelin63 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I Like Kashmir better,but I think that stairway to heaven is a once in a lifetime song to write with all the intertwining of electric and acoustic guitar.also do not know of two many rock songs that are performed and perfected like that one was.no drum into at least 3 mns holding it out until the perfect time to bring it in.

Sue Dounim Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Achilles here too, but I'd say that they're too different to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Kashmir played on his Les Paul. Don't agree? Watch Celebration Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrocker Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Kashmir played on his Les Paul. Don't agree? Watch Celebration Day! He played it on the Les Paul in 1975 as well, but I agree, "Kashmir" is probably the highlight of the Celebration Day show. IMO -and all due respect to John Bonham- but I reckon "Kashmir" was the one song at that performance where they surpassed every other live version of the song (though "In My time Of Dying" comes awfully close as well). I've tended to blow hot and cold toward the 2007 reunion show, but I've always said that to give them their due they absolutely nailed "Kashmir" on the night.

Sue Dounim Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm still always gonna be partial to Kashmir on the Danelectro, but I agree, Kashmir 2007/12/10 is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppMan93 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have to choose, I have to pick Kashmir, that guitar sound he uses live sounds phenomenal. Especially the Knebworth version. It produces a very awesome atmosphere live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Kashmir was the song that got me into Zeppelin - there was a time where I would play the damn song everyday in my car when I was 16. Still is my fav song, but still the whole fucking catalogue of music is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIAFTOG Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I prefer Kashmir. The repetition works for me, I find it hypnotic rather than repetitive. If I'm absent mindedly playing a riff in my mind or just humming to myself, it's probably either Four Sticks or Kashmir. Of course, both Kashmir and STH are wonderful and inspired pieces of music.

Amstel Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 KASHMIR - and it's not close, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
