  1. I love both bands. I think that they are both different tastes. I think that AcDc are Cheeseburgers and Fries with Coke. Led Zep are gourmet meal with Red/White wine.

    To do an objective take on both bands, we need to look at the band members.

    AcDc Bon Scott, has a voice of a criminal mastermind. He is more bad boy than Robert Plant. He is like a storyteller that sings. He has a lot of attitude, but he can't really do any vocal gymnastics.

    AcDc Brian Johnson sound like a wearwolf. He sound like he is howling away, but he can't sustain his vocal bar.

    Angus Young is like Chuck Berry on Crack or being electricuted. He has a lot of adenaline in his riffs and lead solos. I can feel everyone of his licks. He has a real great sense of playing his lines great. Its almost like he is a great actor with cool lines. Every single solo from Angus young fits well.

    Malcom Young is like his brother except that he stays on point with his riffs that just bash you in the head.

    The Drummer and Basist just stay on course and have great rhythem. They are steady and strong and don't do anything fancy.

    On to Zep.

    Jimmy Page is a great guitarist. He is versatyle and he can twist his guitar inside out. He also makes his guitar like a magic wand.

    Robert Plant vocals are mystical, he can stretch his vocals and his lyrics have great feel to them.

    JPJ is a versatyle player with a great sense of funk and soul in his playing in a understated way.

    Bonzo is a Gorilla on the hunt and can make his drums sound like a tribal warriors ready to battle.

    In my assesment. AcDc rocks hard all the time, but they have less great songs as a whole. Zep has better songs, but they don't have to go crazy and nuts like AcDc.

    Its hard to say who is the best. If you want veraiety then its Zep. If you want non stop adenalin then its AcDc. If they were both movies. Then Zep is Lord of the Rings. AcDc is Crank.

    Good assessment. Also:

    If you want to see a live act: AC/DC

    If you want the best act on DVD: LZ

  2. What? I can't hear you because i've been listening to LZ's Presence.

    Are you joking? I crank it up until my ears bleed and my pant legs flutter.

    Sorry, can't buy the "it's too long to play on the radio" reasoning. Hell I hear "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" all the time and I think that lasts twice as long.

    Jim Ladd, used to be on KMET (Los Angeles), now on KLOS (also Los Angeles). Plays ALS often. Any other Jim Ladd fans out there?
