  1. WOW! More people would be a bass player than the greatest drummer of all time? lol
  2. I rarely see any love for Down By The Seaside. What an awesome song.
  3. Someone probably already posted this but I'm not reading the whole thread: http://www.amazon.com/Light-Shade-Conversations-Jimmy-Page/dp/0307985717/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332974341&sr=1-1 A biography based on actual interviews with JP himself. Comes out later this year. I don't know about y'all but I'll be at the bookstore the day it's released.
  4. Kids writing the book is a horrible idea. Just look at Bing Crosby's kids. One hates him and wrote a smear book. Another loves him and says the book is all lies and now the two hate each other. Disaster.
  5. Ozone Baby - Led Zeppelin
  6. Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
  7. Emerald Eyes - Jimmy Page
  8. In The Evening - Led Zeppelin
  9. Bring It On Home featured the beginning and end lyrics of another song as a tribute to Williams. The rest of the song is original. I don't thinks it's fair to call it a cover. I think you can make the argument against Black Mountain Side and Dazed And Confused (even though I might not necessarily agree) but Bring It On Home I feel definitely counts as a Zep original. That's just my opinion.
  10. I'm one of the people who likes all of the songs.
  11. This is a great video. I actually heard one of the whiners from Spirit claiming Led Zeppelin ripped them off and they really wrote Stairway To Heaven (he didn't even say they lifted the opening tune though I'm sure that's what he meant, he just said he wrote Stairway). I wonder if he would get offended if someone accused him of ripping off one of the early songs on here?
  12. I'm going to add my voice to several previous and state how idiotic it is to say Stairway is ripped off. Anyone who can't hear the difference has a mental deficiency. Clearly Led Zeppelin did use portions of other people's songs. If you pay attention you will notice that the case for plagiarism isn't as clear cut as they want you to think. The LP sleeves didn't always give credit and rightfully so in some cases since lifting one or two phrases and creating a totally different song does not merit a writing credit. If you hear the guys in Zep talk you will often hear them mention a song they wrote and how it used another persons writing. Often they say it's in there as a tribute. Someone paying you tribute with two sentences does not mean you co-wrote the song. And not changed enough? Really? He clearly didn't listen to both versions of any of the songs he talked about, just copied something he read online or heard on youtube.
  13. Goodbye To Romance - Ozzy
  14. Don't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty
  15. I also have hypo-thyroid disease. That's quite a coincidence. I'm able to keep my weight and energy level where it should be as long as I take medication everyday. It kinda sucks going to the doctor regularly to get blood work done and being on pills for the rest of my life but it's better than being overweight and tired for the rest of my life (and possibly dying if the condition worsens).
  16. Say "Let's get it on Uncle Ted!"
  17. I read a really good book on dieting. It was called Quit Digging Your Grave With A Knife And Fork by Mike Huckabee. The same Huckabee who ran for president in20 08 (as if there were other Huckabees out there lol). It's not political at all though. It's just very straight forward common sense. I would recommend it.
  18. For the studio versions only: 1.Rock And Roll (I'm not sure between this and STH, I might change my mind tomorrow) 2.Stairway To Heaven (Admit it, you all love this song a crazy lot, you just put it lower because of how over played it is) 3.Black Dog 4.When The Levee Breaks 5.Going To California 6.Misty Mountain Hop 7.Four Sticks 8.The Battle Of Evermore (Does anyone else think Robert Plant invented the Nyan Cat in this song? Doesn't it sound like he's singing "Oh meow, oh meow, oh meow, nyanyanyanyanyanyanyan"?)
