  1. Really It has all been out there I am a huge fan of Plants's recent solo work and don't think the Thunder Gods will return and yeah the 50th anniversary so far has been enigmatic... but these sensationalist stories and "definitive " biographies are a bad rehash of 70's innuendo and exaggeration.....enough. We get it Jimmy Page is just perched to be the Antichrist any day now and assimilate us all....(total sarcasm) Back to music... I still love the Diaments but the latest remasters are growing on me...
  2. U know there r probably 100 posts from me agreeing that bonus discs r rubbish not now with no hype. Rebuying and relisteningb I do like them and love 3 and coda . I don't have bootlegs but feel these r interesting alternate looks at the albums I think the first time around I did not get the concept.
  3. Definitly feeling it... Exactly right I think by not trying to find a replacement for the irreplacable they keep their integrity and legend intact
  4. I do like the song but there are several classic LZ songs i like better. Radio overkill left its mark on some and people reading so much into the lyrics when it was just another great Zeppelin tune probably sways people too. I never liked the Wizard of Oz either.and yeah Tea For One is indeed a great one. It makes some people upset i am not interested in Jimmy's occult fascination or that i dont care what his sigil means. It doesnt mean i am less of a LZ fan... Everyone is different...
  5. definitely the right decision jason is awesome but it isn't fair to him to put him in the position of the greatest of all time...They went out with dignity.
  6. I was going to leave the boards but I'll just apologize here and ... Guess I did not realize the redundancy.. Man , I totally remastered my posts too much ... A joke. Sorry and hope everyone enjoys the work Page is doing I am glad he is here and clean and sober to do them and that's most important. Keep enjoying... Presence ought to be great one of my top 3 favorite albums by Zep.
  7. Ok I was trying to help out the guy above who had the I tunes remasters the 80's cd's and for whom cost might have been an issue but with my blessing mods can delete all my posts and threads started so this doesn't become tiresome. So mods please delete these obviously offensive posts thank u
  8. Until Warner decides to squeeze more $ from the fans and issues the re remasters ultimate box. I get they are probably the best for people with great home systems but as cd is a dying format and more people will be using iTunes and Amazon music are they worth 100 bucks for those people? I guess it is an individual decision based on disposable income and is any catalog worth 1000-1500 for SD boxes ... Again up to what people can afford comfortably. I probably inherited my parents' conservative spending ways out of necessity. On Steve Hoffman's forum I see people prefer the 80's releases to 94.. I had access to a good home system then and to my perfect ears at the time the diament remasters sounded either too flat and thin or overloaded with bottom depending on the song. I can't tell u what is defective in my listening brain but I guess I am just not as attentive to nuances. Strider is undoubtedly right because he always is but it really depends on how they are being played and where for the differences to come through dramatically.
  9. Well maybe u missed ...not everyone can afford them.. The SD boxes that is
  10. U know u are basically saying because of your way of listening u are superior or a better "fan" . Music is for fun not picking apart and analyzing every time u listen. That's ok. The only people that matter are music students with expensive systems ... I get it The past few years must have been miserable for your ears til these came out.
  11. yes i do think a lot depends on your system i listen in the car on the computer and upload ti itunes and plug phone into car aux thats all the stereo I have and honestly am happy with Definitive 08 box....I try to hear nuances in the new cd's but I can barely tell andam going to get rid of first 6 remasters as they will give an audiophile somewhere much more pleasure. I am not denying the mastering just saying it is for the elite as I dont even have a home stereo other than a UE speaker for i phone
  12. Has both translated and original... Well I have picked some up. I figured before I read the Once and Future King I have to read the original... The story is all there couched within dozens of battles and how many Knights were in each one..dozens....
  13. I didn't mean that in a nasty way I work with SLP's and audiologist a and just know 9/10 people over 50 have some change in their hearing so I guess many of us on here have "bad ears". These remasters just sound shrill to me(cd) compared to the 94's and th cardboard packaging is a freakin nightmare for cd scratches. I did not even finish listening to PG after 5 and a half listenings looking for something that I can't find...FWIW I did end up with 7 mint discs as I refused to accept scratched maybe someone will get some use out of them.
  14. That seems condescending ...surprisingly. Very few people still have home stereos or the money to rebuy the same thing 4 or 5 times Slightly better maybe but these are hardly a revelation and PG just sounds off to me
  15. Le Morte D'Arthur all 1000 middle English pages
  16. I am pretty ignorant as a musician one part always kind of reminded me of STH before the guitar solo ....anyway both great songs
  17. Totally Ot but does anyone hear slight bits of STH in tangerine...this seems like ideas Page had in his head for while...
  18. I agree it is really sad but with no stereo I am getting used to keeping songs on phone and computer altho I still want the official cd release...I resisted a long time but realized cd's will b impossible to find like VHS very soon I do remember the days when just playing with the PG package was interesting while listening for first time but, of the people I know -I am 52- and no one under 40 has a stereo system at home and i can't even afford one myself so now if they indeed still make them.... it is sad...even sadder to me are books disappearance...I was at Best Buy last week and their cd selection is incredibly small and they are doing away with it altogether by Xmas 2016.
  19. They may have meds for that now Virginia....so thats what Katy perry sounds like....hmmmm ...
  20. Imprtant not to blame the departed RC for all this -It is just other money grubbers no doubt seeing dollar signs when remasters were announced. Hopefully to be over and forgotten soon...
  21. As a non- musician I cant speak to specific technique but to me Page was the best when he was at his zenith...I do not detect "sloppiness" to my ears...just my opinion Going slightly OT i am disappointed at the amount of "Plant cant sing and plays hillbilly music" and "Page is a sloppy cradle robber" amount of posts...These are the guys many of us grew up with It is a like a soundtrack to our lives Just cuz I am not into the companion discs does not mean it invalidates their worth to others. I respect what each of the 3 do and am just happy they are alive and out there. Does not mean people can't express themselves but do any of us know enough to definitively state something is actually bad or sloppy with any kind of authority. They did not get to be the greatest band in many of our worlds by being hacks or lacking musical/vocal gifts.
  22. Yeah I am skeptical about what I was told honestly I don't know enough about music to judge but waiting this long seems ridiculous if they have a case or think they do
  23. I have heard atlNtic is going to start printing labels for 4 that have Randy California's name.. This from a Atlantic person to distributor for a chain so maybe it is not looking good
