Everything posted by Stairway is NOT stolen

  1. About the Stairway to Heaven Plagerism, I shall settle this once and for all. Here is the Stairway to Heaven Intro: E-------5-7-----7-|-8-----8-2-----2-|-0---------0-----|-----------------| B-----5-----5-----|---5-------3-----|---1---1-----1---|-0-1-1-----------| G---5---------5---|-----5-------2---|-----2---------2-|-0-2-2-----------| D-7-------6-------|-5-------4-------|-3---------------|-----------------| A-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-2-0-0---0--/8-7-| E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| And here is the Taurus intro: E|------------------------------------------5---5----------------------| B|------5-------5-------5-------5-------5-------3----------------------| G|----5-------5-------5-------5-------5---5-----3----------------------| D|--7-----7-6-----6-5-----5-4-----4-3-------3-3---3-0---------5/6------| A|--------------------------------------------------------0------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| As you can see, apart from the first 3 notes, it is completely different. And I have played these both on Guitar to check, and they DO sound different
  2. Any Wierd Al song. Particluarly 'Generic Blues'. ''I woke up this morning, Then I went back to bed''
  3. Good Times Bad Times. Not just because it's an awesome song, but because it's what I call a landmark Zeppelin song. To me, it represents Led Zeppelin basicly saying ''Here we are, this is our first Album, and we are not like other bands, and we want to impress you with the first 5 seconds''
  4. Agree to disagree. I only like a couple of Who songs, whereas Led Zeppelin there are only a couple of Songs I don't like. Plus Page is a better Guitarist than Townsend
  5. TSRTS is my favorite Version by far. Everything about it is perfect, from the Intro, to when the solo starts, to when the song ends. Out of all of Led Zeppelin's songs, 'Stairway To Heaven' Remains my favorite song. It helped me get through some tough times and everytime I listen to the Song, it feels like the first Time I have heard it. TSRTS has the thing that makes it stand out among all the other versions of the Song - The Solo. It has my absolute favorite solo ever. It's Jimmy doing what he does best, and that's improvisation. No one comes even close to him in that aspect.
  6. Surprised to see 'Hats Off To (Roy) Harper' at the top spot. I quite like that Song. I can't make it past 30 seconds of 'Hot Dog', and that's saying alot if I can't get to at least a minute of a Led Zeppelin Song.
  7. it's cool, the gentle wind is blowing and the sun is just peaking through the clouds.
  8. That sounded awesome. Things like that only really happen in movies, and not in real life.
  9. jimi Hendrix is a massive inspiration to me. He is my 3rd favorite Guitarist ever, after Jimmy Page and David Gilmour.
  10. Led Zeppelin by a long way. i find that some of the Who's songs date easily, and Zeppelin had a larger range of Musical Ability. I think I also read somewhere that compared to other bands of the time, Led Zeppelin had more creative control in their career. Not sure if That's true.
  11. They are alright. To me, they seem to be more like a band that relies more on their style rather than the quality of their songs.
  12. I don't think Led Zeppelin stole the Stairway to Heaven riff from Spirit's Taurus.
  13. I've heard a few of their songs, nothing much has impressed me. To me, the best 80s Rock band is probably Def Leppard.
