Flying ship,

No, you are rigth both can have it, one is more common in women another in man! I just wrote something about it, I'm not an expert, but I did read quite a lot about it, even about things like this that I myself never had!

First of all most mentally ill people are NOT violent or dangerous!!!!!!!!
Second of all, most mentally ill people who are dangerous do not have schizoprenia or manic depression, but personality disorders such as hysteria(in women), narcissism(in men) and psychopaty (in both)!
In other words, most people who are dangerous and mentally ill are mentally ill in terms of being very immature!

What, Lennon was free to be an alcoholic, junkie, wife beating, child neglecting hypocrite with severe mommy and daddy issues? The guy who wrote "Imagine no possessions" yet recorded it in the state of the art studio he had built in his mansion? Lying in bed for a week holding flowers and saying "Give Peace A Chance" is pretty fuckin' easy when yer smacked out of yer brains like John and Yoko were at the time. You have to wonder what Julian Lennon thought about the sentiments his dad put forth in the song "Mother", considering Julian was just about as abandoned by his father as John was by his. Or how Paul and George probably scoffed at the idea of John Lennon -easily the most 'well-off' Beatle growing up- writing a song called "Working Class Hero". How 'bout all the chicks Lennon and the boys banged on the road -misogyny at its finest- only to see John emerge as an early 70's champion of feminism? One of the greatest songwriters of his generation being reduced to being thrown out of L.A. nightclubs with a jamrag stuck on his forehead...I could go on, but my, John Lennon was a very fucked up individual, and yet people canonize the guy, which is something that probably makes John cringe in the afterlife...
I've probably read just about every Beatles/Lennon book there is...and quite frankly I wish I hadn't, because the more I learned about John Lennon the less respect I had for him as a person. Great singer/songwriter (mediocre musician, though), but a very tortured soul. Probably the best example I can think of of "Love the art, not the artist"...I'm sure my sentiments will piss a few people off, but nobody likes to see the Emperor without their clothes.
Well nobody is perfect and the books ussualy lie many times so that they are sold and people just LOVE to put down exceptional individuals and portray them closer to their own mediocre self!
Calling someone alcoholic and a junkie in those times is just ridicioulus and while it was always present, it was particulary in those times and I don't think periods of extreme consuption were ever long enough to call Lennon all that!
He earned his money in a rightfull way and in the capitalist system he needed it just like everybody and that does not mean he didn't believe in a better society!
And single parent families happen all the time and kids and parents can handle it and he also gave her money, but it's certainly immature to leave a child at such a young age!
And he certainly was a working class hero for many, if he wanted or not!
It's great that he suppported feminism and he probably didn't bang a quarter as much girls as people talk and as with aggression that he sometimes sadly did, this is also one thing he learned about and grew out of it and then started to fight for good causes based partialy on his own mistakes!
He CERTAINLY had his faults and some of his activism might have been a bit of a publicity thing, but I think he was quite an exceptional person too for real, not just an incredible musician!

Why did you answer this thread if you were going to make a moronic comment? Well, who knows maybe you have just ruined it for everyone else.
I was trying to make you laugh! And I was trying to be polite in the process!

Why do you all want me to make you laugh? Don't you want to laugh by your own will?!

How about this:

Orlando Magic
It's weird how often Plant's voice cracked even on some of the earliest concerts!! And then in 73 and up to 77 way to often!! But atleast up to 77 everybody else had almost no technicall flaws, except Jimmy now and then.
I wonder what audiences though of Robert's vocal cracks in the early seventies!? I mean who cares for technicall perfection, it's the magic that counts! But I think Zep would probably have about 15% more audience, with more technicall perfection!
I think Plant was certainly capable of doing ANYTHING he wanted with his voice, but at times when he wanted to do something very hard, he just didn't know exactly what to do in technical terms, so his voice cracked at times. I think his very high voice would also be better preserved if he would have a better technique and no smoking and drinking ofcourse.
Perhaps on this concert in Orlando Plant also lacked some self confidence, who knows why!!?? Perhaps the rather poor audience response at the start!??
-
Absolutelly incredible!! It could easily work as a fantastic drum solo!! You can obviously hear, how he is supporting the main riff!! You can hear the riff in his drumming! Incredible!! I wonder if he imagined any melodies when he played Moby dick!?
-
A fantastic solo in the end of I shot the sheriff:

I'm not at all artistically creative, so I'm fascinated by how songwriters/musicians can create brand new music out of thin air. I'd probably ask something about that, how do these riffs come to you?
That's a really good one, mine was a joke obviously!!
But i guess, extremely creative people just get good ideas. They listen to a lot of music and then they just get new ideas of their own while playing around on the guitar and sometimes, as we all know, these ideas might resemble some older music quite a lot, as in the case of Dazed and confused and some other suff, but i guess that happens to every artist, even the great ones and obviously Jimmy has written a lot of stuff totally out of the blue, he just gets excellent ideas and he can also solo excelently, which means he can get good riffs and phrases on the spot!!!!

I would ask him: Can I ask you one question!!?? If he would say no, I would say I'm sorry, because I already asked him one question and if he would say yes, I would say OK and ask him if i can ask two more questions, the one I just asked and another. If he would say no i would once again appologise, if he would say yes, i would ask him: Are you a musician and if he would say yes, i would ask him without asking if i can ask him, if he is Jimmy Page, because he is my favourite guitarist and if he would say yes, i would ask another question without asking, if i can ask another question and the question would be: do you play guitar??

And also, people would probably stop throwing bottles by themselves, if they would just keep playing. Yes it's a bit dangerous, but if they would continue, everybody would start enjoying it after a while and there would be no more problems.
When they stopped, people got pissed again and the circle started again.
-
Well i read they were 90 minutes late. It's sort of a star attitude to do that, but if you get a response like that, you should bloody appologise, instead of getting pissed off, demand no bottle throwing and leave the stage!
I mean the crowds should be used to big bands being late, but if a band does get an aggresive response, they should forget their star egos and just appologise, so that they can play a nice show!!
I wonder if they will ever play in Dublin again? I also read a lot of people left the place, while the band was backstage. If Axl would actually say sorry, maybe they could play to a full place!
-
Since i've been loving you!! It showcases the best of Roberts voice in every way!!
-
I'm so envy you...
You really don't have to!! Most of my bootlegs are downloaded and stored on the computer and dvds!! Just search the web!! Good luck!!
-
I just saw all Led Zeppelin official albums, tons of bootlegs and some posters in my room!! My room and my appartment are not directly Zep related, so..........
-
I never heard this album(maybe a song or two), but I just think it's not a good idea for Jimmy to bring a Robert Plant imitator, who tries to imitate the singing and the vocalizing and the lyrics and then even Zep's album covers are imitated.
It would be much better, if he would go for some completely new singer, that would not remind of Plant in any way.
All I heard from Page was Outrider(I didn't like most of the vocals there), Page/Plant albums(shure I liked the vocals) and Page/Crowes(I liked the vocals here). On most of his albums that I heard, I really liked the guitars, but sometimes, I just didn't like vocals!!
I would certainly say, Page did some great stuff in his solo carrer, but he didn't have the best solo carrer of Zep members. Plant did!!
Best of Page and Plant 1995-8 tour on video?

I also remember something went wrong there, right?! The band and the orchestra didn't 'fit' together!?
