  1. You're very welcome BUCK!...And I agree with you completely...I loved all 4 parts of the interview too esp the part where Jimmy and Robert performed "Black Dog"...it was a really nice Australian version where there were some folks playing the didgeridoo! Awesome stuff! Shows how innovative Plant and Page can be! And you're right...Poor Jimmy! It was as if Stairway To Heaven had been converted from this beautiful work of art into this weird comedy sketch show...Jimmy was such a sport about the whole thing...but I still find myself digging the "Fat Elvis" version though!
  2. OMG, Dan! I think you just described the best engagement party on the planet! A very big CONGRATULATIONS to you and your fiance! Thank you so much for sharing this!
  3. Its such a great song! Truely timeless in my book! I'll never get sick of it! But I pretty much do stay away from the radio though! Also, so many bands have covered it and Robert mentioned in an interview in 1996 that "its like flogging a dead horse!"I guess he's right but still! What a great song! I also love the Fat Elvis version of Stairway To Heaven!...Hilarious! You can check out that interview with Robert and Jimmy (if you haven't already seen it that is!)...here : And I completely agree with you Yupter! It is overplayed but not overrated!
  4. Sheesh! All this sounds so familar! I have got 1000s of emails pertaining to "business propositions" (which involve the transfer of 1000s of $ into my bank account! ) or crap like "Congratulations! Your email-id has been selected as the lucky winner of $50,000!") But this email that I got last week, is literally the icing on the cake! It was from a company selling Viagra online (yep! you read that right!)....That company sent me a message asking me to purchase it and avail of a 75% discount and be a sure-fire winner in their annual cash prize draw where the winner gets to win US $20,000! And I am not even a man! I am a 22 year old female college student! Why the f*ck do I even need that sh*t? They sure got the demographics wrong! :hysterical:
  5. 100% agree with Jimmy! Thanks for the article Reggie!
  6. You might be suprised to hear this but I grew up on a "more than healthy" dose of Frank Sinatra. My Grandad (from my dad's side of the family), who happens to be a huge fan, owns every single album (he is also a rat pack fanatic, by the way!) and every afternoon, right after lunch, he literally bored my poor family to tears by playing his records over and over again! In fact, I remember my dad storming out of the living room and shutting the door to his study and blasting a couple of Pink Floyd tracks just to (in his words) "ease the pain of boredoom!". In fact, one day, it became so bad that my dad exclaimed : "I'm so sick of that Sinatra prick! Can't we listen to something else?!"...the only thing which didn't occur was my dad and Grandad going head to head in combat! My mom and Grandmom ended up being the referres! I know many people love Sinatra and I didn't mean to offend anyone by saying that he is so not the "epitome of coolness" blah blah blah (by the way I'm 22 years old and I don't know what the word "coolness" means! It just doesn't make sense! Could some kind soul enlighten me on that one please?) So, just like when people who have heard "Stairway To Heaven" being played on the radio umpteen times get so sick of it that they would rather not listen to it ever again, the same thing goes for me and Sinatra! And I think that's pretty understandable! Don't you? Cheers!
  7. Wow! This is really cool! But one thing which makes me really disappointed is the fact that this contest is open only to U.S residents!
  8. Well, I've finally decided that I am going to borrow "When Giants Walked The Earth". Judging by the reviews, I guess its a good book! Thank God for the music library at my Uni!
  9. Thank Goodness I stay away from the radio! I'll NEVER ever get sick of Stairway To Heaven! Its a timeless classic! I guess the consequences of listening to the radio way too much are just awful! Yikes! And ummmm..."Electrophile" what's up with all the sarcasm? Is it really necessary?
  10. I was going through some notes on Binary Relations which were handed out in class a couple of days ago and I couldn't help but notice this really interesting coincidence : (Here is the first page of the hand-out where you'll find something really interesting!) Definition. A binary relation on a set S is a subset of the Cartesian product S × S. This definition is so abstract that you may find it difficult to see how this is connected to the ordinary idea of things being "related". Here's the idea : A relationship between two objects is something like "x is the father of y", or "x is greater than y", or "x and y have the same color", or "x2 + y2 = 4. Look at "x is the father of y". Your experience in the real world tells you what this means — how you would verify that a given person is the father of another person. But another way to define the "father"relationship would be to make a list of all father-child pairs. For example, if Bonzo has a son named Wickersham and a daughter named Gordinier, then the pairs (Bonzo, Wickersham) and (Bonzo, Gordinier) would be on the "father" list. You can see that these are ordered pairs elements of the Cartesian product people × people.
  11. Hi Craig! Welcome to the forum! I'm pretty new myself! I joined about a month ago and I am loving it so far and I am sure you will too!
  12. LMAO! Apparently someone did! LOL! Hilarious! :lol:
  13. I think my choices might suprise some but these guys were far ahead of their time and I think that the music industry suffered a great loss with the death of these two legends!
  14. Wow! That's really awesome! Congrats! You have one hell of an awesome collection there! Gosh! Just enjoy every second of it! Its going to be one awesome journey (going through all the tracks and checking out the DVD!)...I actually find myself envying you right now! Anyway, enjoy and get the Led out! Cheers!
  15. It is no wonder that I tend to overlook every fuckin' list Rolling Stone mag has ever put up pertaining to Greatest Albums, Artists, etc!
  16. OMG! DMachine, this is probably the coolest bottle opener I have ever seen!! So awesome! Thanks for posting this!
  17. Here are my top 3 opening and closing songs : Opening Songs Achilles Last Stand Black Dog Immigrant Song Closing Songs When The Levee Breaks How Many More Times Sick Again
  18. Physical Graffiti. This album is truly a work of art! Simply Brilliant! Led Zep can be seen experimenting with so many different styles and it's got "In My Time of Dying", "Kashmir", "The Rover", "Trampled Under Foot", "Ten Years Gone", "In The Light"..... what's not to love about this album?....its just 1.3 hours of the most beautiful music ever created! Some people have called it "self-indulgent" but to me, its just pure bliss! To me, it's even better than IV!
  19. Oh Dear God! I want this DVD so badly! Gosh! Luckily, my birthday is in a couple of months! So, who knows?! I hope Lady Luck will Smile Upon Me!
  20. 1. In My Time Of Dying 2. Achilles Last Stand 3. The Rover 4. Stairway To Heaven 5. When The Levee Breaks Adding just 3 more songs to the list (narrowing it down to 5 was way too tough!) 6. Trampled Under Foot 7. Nobody's Fault But Mine 8. Dazed And Confused Boy! That was hard! Whew!!
  21. When I was about 10 or 11, I used to be into all these "boy bands" like Blue, Westlife, Boyzone and other nonsense! LOL! I really have no idea what came over me back then! Anyway, thank goodness I went in for a major revamp of my music collection at the age 12 when I discovered "real music" (I think you know which band I am referring to in particular! Yep! Led Zeppelin!)
  22. Oh man! I'm really loving this new and improved version of the forum! Awesome job Sam! Cheers!
