  1. It's amazing seeing all the anger in some of these posts, I'd love to see how angry these people get when presented with real problems that actually affects their lives. When you sell 350 million records and form the greatest band of all time, like Led Zeppelin did, then release a massive peerless catalog with not a clunker in the bunch, a catalog so good it makes most other bands look like pathetic, as well as becoming the #1 most influential guitarist, producer, and songwriter in popular music history, as Jimmy Page did, then you can release whatever you want too. Nobody's stopping you.
  2. Rik Emmett is the famous guitarist, songwriter, and lead singer of Triumph, who has 18 gold and 9 platinum records, and is also a music professor at Humber College in Toronto, Ontario. But gee, but what does he know, right? And I'm not the only one who "says so", anyone with a brain and even remotely functioning ears can hear the vast differences in the 2 songs and riffs in about 5 seconds flat, the Emmett video lays it out clear. And btw, those goofy emoticons don't help you make your weak point.
  3. The 2 are not even close, unless you need a hearing aid. Real musicians like Rik Emmett explain why in this video, he plays both and explains how they are not even remotely similar. But you know more than Rik Emmett, right? Go to 2:38, and also 5:30 and learn something..
  4. With all the bonus track mania going on with the Zep reissues, how couldn't Page put the full live NQ with the full solo from 1976 version on this new TSTRS release, at least as a bonus track? IT'S AMONG HIS BEST LIVE SOLO'S EVER. Is Page that isolated and out of touch that no one has told him how much the fans want this? We've been waiting decades now for it. This is the last TSRTS release, so I guess there's no hope for it. I'll take the full NQ remastered with the full solo over 99% of all the Zep reissue "outtakes", which I love. Page still seems sharp, not sure why he refuses to put his best solo out in a remastered form. There is no excuse.
  5. Translation of what Maloify is saying in laymen terms: "Can we please have just .000001% of anything having to do with the incomparable masterpiece Stairway to Heaven, even though it sounds nothing like the hoky, cringeworthy elevator music called Taurus? I swear you'll never hear from us again"...
  6. Williams seems like such a dick, not to mention his music is beyond painful.
  7. They did the right thing. It only helped their long term legacy and mystery more.
  8. He's improvising, like a real master. He has been sloppy, like on certain shows in 1977 and 1980, but then, a second later, when he plays a really complex, difficult piece like The Rain Song, he's clean as a whistle while doing really heavy duty, intricate chord changes, . Page is a mystery!
  9. Page's guitar playing on TSRTS concert from 1973, on tracks Dazed, WLL, and No Quarter, as well as the song TSRTS are his best ever. Like the OP said, his fingers just danced on the strings with tasty, killer licks that are coming through rapid fire and are just on another level from any other guitar player, I don't care who they are, they don't cut as deep to your soul the way Page did in 1973. Plus, for you long time guitar players and tone maniacs like myself out there, his tone was PERFECT AND PURE. Just enough edge, plenty of clarity and definition, and ATTITUDE. THE best rock and roll tone ever in my book. TSRTS is unreal, don't care about the edits here and there, I have the bootleg, it's 99% the way you hear it, he played it. LIVE. He was also really great on 1988 Outrider tour and 1998 Page-Plant. We saw Page-Plant at MSG in NY in July 1998 from the 10th row, and it blew the whole arena into smithereens. After the show, on the way out of the Garden as people were exiting, huge crowds started chanting and screaming again, it was INSANE. I've been to hundreds, maybe a thousand shows in my life (yup, I'm over 50) and I've NEVER seen an aftermath of people still so psyched as to what they just saw. Huge crowds WERE STILL SCREAMING ON THE STREETS IN MANHATTAN AFTER THE SHOW! I only wish JPJ was there. Page and Plant truly earned it, and lived up to every bit of their legend, plus it was only a 4-piece, not some corny ensemble of backing musicians like the Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, etc. all used in recent times to fill out their sound. 1998 was the time they should have done the Zep reunion and filmed it, they still totally had it.
  10. This is incorrect. Before deliberation, the jury asked to hear both songs, the known recorded final versions as they appear on the records, and immediately voted unanimously there was no infringement. The appeal will go nowhere.
  11. They need to give it up, and get some real music of their own instead of parasitically clinging to Zeppelin's talent for $. Skidmark needs to get a life. This stupid song Taurus isn't even worth a listen much less a lawsuit, Spirit needs to stop flattering themselves and delusionally thinking they are worth comparing to Led Zeppelin even for a second. Taurus is so unmemorable, these maggots must have alot of cash to keep suing Zep. They will keep losing.
  12. Good, I'm glad Zep are seeking fees back, they should. What a stupid lawsuit.
  13. Probably, as it was such a weak case. Any lawyer in his right mind who isn't hearing impaired and not suffering from brain damage would not have taken this case about 2 seconds after listening to the 2 songs and seeing how dissimilar they are.
  14. That says it all! Spirit, not Zeppelin, has some serious egg on their face now. They lose what proved to be a silly case, then the laywer gets suspended, hilarious! Proves what a complete clusterf@ck this whole Taurus-Stairway lawsuit, Skidmore, and Malofiy are, he's such a douche nozzle it's has become comical. If this isn't full vindication for the Zep boys, I don't know what is..they come out looking clean as a whistle with a cherry on top. You know Zep is laughing right now, not to mention the likely increase in Stairway's sales from all the media coverage. People are undoubtedly rediscovering how great of a song it truly is.
  15. I guess these idiots have tons of money to waste trying to milk money they didn' t earn. Gold digging losers with ZERO talent of their own. They need to face the fact that they lost, let it go, and get a job, instead of trying to extort Zeppelin with sob stories from 45 years ago...the songs sound nothing alike, not even the 3 notes (!) in question. They only wish Taurus sounded anything like Stairway...
