  1. I think mainly because it is a side opener. It's a great side opener, but not nearly as great as The Song Remains The Same or Dancing Days... well maybe as good as Dancing Days.

    Running orders on lp's was very important..IMO more important than cd's. Also, like Zep Hed mentioned, maybe too similar to other tracks.

    Houses OF The Holy could have been a much heavier album with Houses and The Rover included. But it is great as is.. The opening 3 tracks are Jimmy Page at his melodic best. The Crunge was some nice light hearted relief after 3 epic opening tracks..

    No no no no...a thousand times no.

    There's a Blabbermouth article on David Coverdale posted earlier today stating that he might retire in 2021.  Not that there was a snowball's chance in hell that would have happened anyway. .

    We all know why Page didn’t attend Karac’s funeral ~ 

    I don't know why... 

  3. Josh Allen deserves part of the blame. Several key overthrown passes. He also had some great plays and passes. The 53 yard td play was awesome .. But kind of spoiled by John Brown’s idiotic dance in the end zone.. act like you’ve been there Brown.  They’re a very good team though and I was a bit nervous in the 3rd qtr. 

    I love how a 12-3 team can be so “bad” and catch so much shit. If they were going to film a team to steal signals.. any team .. why would they pick the 1 and 12 Bengals? Everyone knows it’s bullshit and some use it against them anyway.. 12-3 in the NFL is pretty impressive. Tom Brady is not done. Not by a long shot. Not a great season for him, but he has had elbow issues and a depleted offense. Looked pretty good yesterday though...  didn’t they.  If the past 20 years has taught you anything, it’s don’t count this team out. And don’t rub it in their face because they’ll make you pay. 

    That’s all. Sorry i missed playing the pool this year Strider, laying low for a bit.  

    Merry Christmas All

    iconic UFO researcher Stanton T. Friedman has passed away at the age of 84 👽

    I’m very sorry to hear this. Stanton Friedman was always interesting and imo, the most credible of all UFO researchers. Very down to earth and approachable too.  I wrote him once and he replied the same day.   

    Rest In Peace Stanton Friedman, the beautiful ladies Doris Day and Peggy Lipton plus comic genius Tim Conway.

    Meh. I don't buy it. I highly doubt anyone including Paul Rodgers would have the audacity to tell Jimmy Page to "wrap It up".  Unless you can come up with a verifiable form of proof by way of comments made by Paul that he had to tell Jimmy to wrap it up a few times, then I really don't think it happened like you think it did.

    That’s fine. You don’t have to buy it.  I said what it looked like to ME. Maybe Paul nudged Jimmy with his mic stand to tell him his shoe was untied.. I’ll agree it is open to interpretation. 

    But it did happen.

    I was at that show but I didn't see anything like that and I seriously doubt he would, after all, it was Jimmy's baby and nobody was there to see Paul.

    Trust me.. I had a birds eye view and saw it clear as day.

    They played The Worcestor Centrum 2 nights May 7 and 8 1985

    Yes, just rumor, noting more. Though I would have loved to see Paul Rogers Karate-kick Jimmy on stage as that would have been worth the price of admission. Downright hilarious.

    I personally saw Rodgers nudge Jimmy with his mic stand on the 1st Firm Tour in Worcestor Mass... Jimmy was kind of noodling around during the encore.

    Maybe it was nothing but.. I took it as Rodgers telling Jimmy to wrap it up.

    ^^^ Exactly!

     This is why I always like people from the granite state. A state full of people with common sense pragmatism

    I may be moving to NH eventually, I've always liked the idea of "live free or.die".

    Thanks.. I never considered it being a New Hampshire thing though. 

  9. Try not tipping and go back to the same place.. It's probably not quite as dangerous as mouthing off to the kid taking your order in a Fast Food Drive Thru... but I wouldn't recommend it. 

    It's part of the deal.... at least in The States. If you're spending 50 bucks on dinner, is it really that big a deal to give them 60?  I don't think it is. 

    Most waiters waitresses are excellent at places I go to, refills without asking, extra bread.. etc.. They sometimes have to put up with my Mother In Law..  They deserve a tip.

    Bartenders get a buck a drink... or if it's $3.50 they're getting $5. not a big deal.

    Yes, that Atlantic Reunion didn't stand a chance.  Huge row over Stairway, as well as Zep getting delay after delay on a start time.  Nerves (for Page) were resolved with alcohol, and the additional time meant a lot more alcohol.  They were awful.  

    No keyboards in the Televised mix for Kashmir didn't help much either.... Nor the fact the Robert's solo band played a super tight set.  

  11. from Wikipedia ...

    Page, Clapton and the Immediate All-Stars

    In June 1965, Jimmy Page invited Eric Clapton to join him in a jam session at his home studio on Miles Road in London, and the two guitarists recorded seven instrumental tracks together: "Choker", "Draggin' My Tail", "Freight Loader", "Miles Road", "Snake Drive", "Tribute to Elmore" and "West Coast Idea". Page and Clapton were both of the opinion that the tracks they recorded were merely rehearsals rather than fully formed songs, but representatives of Immediate Records soon approached Page informing him that they legally owned the publishing rights to all recordings he made as per the terms of their contract. Page reluctantly gave them the recordings of the jam session in fear of a lawsuit and was asked to clean them up by adding overdubs, which he recorded that August at Olympic Studios with a new lineup of the All-Stars. This time, the group featured members of The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Ian Stewart and Charlie Watts (credited as Chris Winters), facilitated by the Stones' manager at the time also being Immediate Records' co-founder, Andrew Loog Oldham. This was seen by Clapton as a betrayal of confidence on Page's part, and greatly damaged the personal relationship between the two guitarists for years to follow.

    "That was a real tragedy for me... Eric and I got friendly and he came down and we did some recording at home, and Immediate found out that I had tapes of it and said they belonged to them, because I was employed by them. I argued that they couldn't put them out because they were just variations of blues structures, and in the end we dubbed some other instruments over some of them and they came out- with liner notes attributed to me (on earlier copies) though I didn't have anything to do with writing them. I didn't get a penny out of it anyway... Stu from the Stones was on piano, Mick Jagger did some harp, Bill Wyman played bass and Charlie Watts was on drums."

    — Jimmy Page talking to Pete Frame.[12]

    Immediate Records first released these tracks alongside the All-Stars' previous recordings in 1968, spread out across their compilation albums Blues Anytime Vol. 1–3. The tracks were initially attributed simply to Eric Clapton, or 'Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page', although many subsequent releases have given the credit to 'The Immediate All-Stars'

    Hal Blaine 

    I just heard the very sad news that session drummer Hal Blaine has passed. Some were very fortunate to celebrate his 90th birthday with him just recently at The Baked Potato in Los Angeles, where he performed publicly for the last time. Arguably the greatest studio session drummer ever. 

    Rest In Peace Mr. Hal Blaine. So many songs from my childhood featured this brilliant drummer.

    "Bohemian Rhapsody"...lies, lies, lies. Freddie Mercury's story should have been dramatic and interesting enough without having to cheapen it with fallacies, lies and made-up bullshit. And Rami doesn't even do his own singing. Why should he win an award for essentially lip-syncing? This is no better than those Tom Cruise and Mark Wahlberg rock star movies...and when was the last time anyone wanted to suffer through those movies again?

    I liked Rockstar. I know it’s a little cheesy but what the hell.  

    I’ll never understand why Brian May and Roger Taylor ok’d some of the inaccuracies in the timeline. Freddie Mercury might have suspected he was sick, but he was not diagnosed with Aids till 1987 and didn’t tell the other members of Queen he was sick until 1988-89 ... during The Miracle  sessions... and well after Live Aid (1985) when he told them in the movie..

    Just like "Hot Dog" was a tribute to Elvis...as they were all HUGE Elvis fans. 

    Funny, I never really connected that.. I mean, I always figured it was a nod to Elvis... But, seeing In Through The Out Door was the 1st Led Zeppelin album released after Elvis died, it makes all the sense in the world Hot Dog was included.  

  15. The hiss at the beginning of Immigrant Song always sounded deliberate to me. Much like the little bit of guitar chugging at the beginning of Black Dog, the Plant grunt before Whole Lotta Love kicks in, or the studio chatter before Friends. It’s not like the whole song is loaded with hiss. Immigrant Song does start out very thin though because John Paul Jones’ Bass comes in after a bit.

    Kudos

    I like to think Page is just that player who, to stay true to his philosophy, purposely stays unfresh so as to make it interesting when he does play. The only other options are:

    Play the same songs over and over till you shoot yourself 

    or

    Don't play the fan favorites and piss everyone off. 

     

    It's not Jimmy's fault that most everything he did is a fan favorite, then again...

    And I'm still ticked about not getting my bet in on time. Until this last one, I had bet on every Patriot SB win. Not a Pats fan, but one of the few who respect them for their greatness anyway. I am a Yankee fan and know all too well the haters. I can't bring myself to do that. Plus, it would diminish the hate I have for the Red Sox, so.....

    (does this mean we can't be friends?) :D

     

    Sure we can.  I like Rick and he hates every New England based team with a passion. 

  17. Hey a good debate is healthy. I don’t agree with alot of posts and opinions on this whole webpage. I’m so tired of reading posts of people slagging a 75 year old Jimmy Page for not working harder...  It gets old.. He looks happy, healthy, content clean and sober..  but I wouldn’t want anyone to not post their opinions or get banned or run out of town either. Jimmy kind of asked for it.. I know. Just be prepared for a response if you throw anything out there. Simple as that. Just like I’ll hear about that remark.. it’s all good.  

    Besides the Patriots won their 6th Super Bowl last week..,

    No, there's a connection and an influence and all of that but Carmine simply goes to far. He claims Bonham considered him one of his IDOLS. Give me a break! Carmine was only two years older than Bonzo, and Bonzo was NOT an unknown when they met. Bonham was relatively well known in and around Birmingham for his ferocious playing and volume as far back as '66-'67.  

     

     

    . And it comes up in every interview. He got Bonzo his Ludwig endorsement. Exact kit as his and on and on. Every interview.. word for word. 

    Carmine is cool and a great drummer, but that gets a little annoying.
