You are a perplexing one Sabbath. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks Steve!

You do realize someone has to buy this and upload it for you to hear it, no? If you don't like it the way it is, edit/patch it yourself!

Just meaning the live virtuosity/improvisation of Zep is unmatched, would blow anyone off stage. Just ask Iron Butterfly!

This book is like a Bible to me, I read/quote passages from it almost daily!

Forgot to mention Ringo! Underrated drummer! (Sorry Ringo) But yea, just imagine a live 'Battle of the Bands' between the two bands, with all due respect to the Beatles, Zep would blow them off the stage.

John was a mean rhythm guitarist too, and George was great especially on the later albums!

Good post Matjaz! As much as I like the Beatles, Zep will always be #1 in my book. Although I think you may be underestimating Paul's bass playing skills, he was a beast!

I always thought of Zep and the Beatles as a kind of 'yin and yang'. The Beatles are perceived as very happy and upbeat, but could also be dark and acerbic, and Zep was obviously heavier and darker at times, but had plenty of upbeat, optimistic stuff as well. Also notice how the Beatles songs got longer, jammier, bluesier on the last few albums, kind of pointing towards FM Radio of the 70's. Kinda feels like they were 'passing the torch', greatest band of the 60's to the greatest band of the 70's. In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang, which are often shortened to "yin-yang" or "yin yang", are concepts used to describe how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary,[Note 1] interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts.

Having another listen now, Bonzos bass drum really stands out throughout the recording.

Classic! He's got a lot of good ones to choose from, that's for sure!

Welcome to the forum Etheral! Too bad you weren't here a couple weeks ago when this debate was going on, I think that John McNally guy crawled back into his hole.

That one still gives me a chill after all these years. Cheers! Here's a few more of my favs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeqdw6nzsuM I think I posted this one a couple weeks ago, best version of this song IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGWFg5ZizvA&list=FLtFke9JGY8OO18xsAiR9huQ&index=114

Anything Bill O'Reilly/Fox News says is a joke.

That made me feel many things, not just funny.

Sheesh, schools must be just as bad in the UK.

It's pretty smooth, easy to miss if your not paying full attention.
