Never heard this one before but its funny as hell! Thanks again zdr!
Glad you like it as much as I do. I find that song/lyrics very deep too (today, the exactly same song makes me cry ... well..I guess I'm just mental)
-
How could I forget about this? It's my latest great find:
-
IDK if this song is really (objectively) funny, but it puts a big smile on my face every time I listen to it:
And seeing their bored faces (esp.Charlie Watts's) cracks me up

I just found this and can't stop laughing:

And another Weird Al classic:

And since you're a MJ fan ...

OK, arm yourself with patience, since it's a looong song

I found this article:
DMITRY MEDVEDEV told U2 lead singer Bono that he’s a fan of rock group Led Zeppelin over tea during a meeting at the Russian president’s residence in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
Upon his arrival in Russia on August 22, Bono joked he would cancel a meeting with Medvedev after learning the president preferred Deep Purple to the Beatles, Kommersant reported.
Bono told Medvedev yesterday they have to overcome the differences in their musical tastes. Bono, 50, said he’s a long-time Led Zeppelin fan, while he knows that Medvedev likes Deep Purple. The president countered that he also enjoys Led Zeppelin.

Bill Ward (Black Sabbath):
"I love Jimmy
. He's bloody great," Ward said. "When I first heard their very first album, we had a bunch of songs as well, but we hadn't recorded our first album, and then somebody brought over 'Led Zeppelin I' and we listened to it, and I'm listening to it and going, 'Holy crap.' You know, it sounded really professional and everything. I'd known [John] Bonham since I was 16 years old, and I'm listening to Bonham playing his chops, man, and I'm going, 'Wow.' I thought that that album was just completely out of sight. It was so good, and I love Jimmy's chops. We just sat around going, 'Wow.' We were in a different bag. We were working on 'What is this that stands before me? …' and so we were in quite a different place, but that first album was just, like, holy crap, blew me away. Just a really very, very good album.”
"All of us — Tony [iommi], myself, and the likes of Geezer [butler] and Ozzy [Osbourne], you know, we all knew Bonham, and we all knew Robert Plant. We were all from basically the same area, so we bumped into them all the time. We'd see them every other day or something," Ward recalled. "But I love John Paul [Jones], as well… What a bass player, man. He's doing good stuff. He's always been a brilliant bass player. "

I saw it by accident on TV, while zaping through channels. And something made me stop...why that song seemed so familiar? ...Then I realized (after compiling the lyrics): it was BIGLY
Of course I stayed glued to the TV...but some songs were hard to watch for me.
Anyway, Mike Godoroja is a proeminent musical figure in Romania (and he have a distinctive voice
). He is the biggest jazz fan, and he had lots of shows on radio and TV about jazz. Godoroja's Zep rendition was something I didn't expect from him. But proved the wide appeal across the music genres Zep is having. -
Yes. I can see them in a exposition.
And...Robert signed that painting?? You have to tell us when, where and ...well...all about it.

Now, THIS IS ART !!!
You are very talented!

He said it in a March 1975 interview with Stephen Davis, who details the interview very well in his new book LZ-'75. There are photographs in the book that show the exact moment where he said it in the hotel room.
I don't have the book.
So I would be interesed to know the circumstances: it was Plant who came up with the idea of being a Golden God or it was the interviewer who bring it up so Plant pick up the ideea and yelled it loud?

They could be considered among the first but certainly not the first as The Rolling Stones, for just one example, were using big screens at concerts before them.
Thanks. I found out finaly the article that misleaded me:
http://www.tpimagazine.com/Chronicle/274561/birth_of_the_big_screen.html
But now I have another question: who was the first to use the sintagma "Golden God"? It was Robert self-proclaiming? Or it was some newspaper and Robert found it funny and yelled it from that balcony?

It's sooooo easy to judge someone from outside...

Fingers crossed for you, Jason. Hope you'll find what pleases your heart.

I just wanted to bump this thread
So, Don Powell - Slade
Q: A lot of great bands came from The Midlands – who were your drumming contemporaries as a young man?
A: John Bonham, we used to play the local pubs together with our bands, way before Zeppelin and Slade.
Q: So you and John were good mates then - what did you think of John when you first saw him?
A: I thought he was the loudest drummer on the planet! (Laughs) He didn’t need microphones – he was so loud. I admired him greatly and he was a big influence on me; John Bonham is my all-time favourite drummer. Cozy Powell was around too, I met him a few times when he was playing with Ace Kefford – this was way before his solo hits (Dance With The Devil) or (the band) Rainbow.
-
Yes, the question above bothered me too.
Another question: I think I read somewhere that Zep were the first one to use big screens at concerts. I can't find the reference anymore. Did I dream that?

The Who Thread
in Other Bands / Music

I dislike their sound on many levels (and, believe me, I listened entire albums in order to find out what's the catch). But no, the first impression stands: I don't like Daltrey's voice (it's like he sings inside a barrel), I don't like the fact that the songs are constructed (manufactured- it seems to me) starting from a simple melody and overloading it with drum frenzy/bass/power chords, one on top of the other. Most of the times it's cacophony for my ears.
Usually I wouldn't have said this things in a Who thread, but I don't want that those who "don't get it" have the impression that is something wrong with themselves.
Heck, I even wonder if, without the instrument smashing and all the live circus they would have been noticed on the music scene in the first time.
