I'm starting to see a pattern...

The most glorious creature that ever lived. Hey, someone had to be - it just happened to be her! Eh? What do you mean 'subjective'?!

Indeed. He's done enough, surely? He's Jimmy Page, FFS, he's earned the right to do (or not do) whatever he wants.
Hands up anyone who really believed any of that 'playing live/new album...next year...' stuff?
No, me neither. -
Nope. Not doing it. Fourth album is perfect as it is and can't be improved upon. There's very few records that you wouldn't change a single second of - but Led Zeppelin IV is one of them.

I'm a miserable, anti-social bastard.
I've also been sober every second of my life.
It's probably not unconnected... -
What's bad about We Love Lesbians...?

I have to disagree, I would've loved for Zep to have put out a new album, imagine the possibilties?
Imagine if it was worse than Walking Into Clarksdale, though...😉

Saving it for a posthumous release ?
Keith Richards can't die - we all know that!

Agreed. For the best. Happy, even, that Plant cares that much. To do what is best.
Absolutely. Best way to look at it - keep it as it is, don't risk devaluing it with the prospect of ever-diminishing returns.

Well spotted, Steve and all good points. Suggests that the released version of Scarlet could include several splices, with sections repeated to create a longer track. Also that no.2 is a still unheard jam with Jimmy, Keith and Stu.
-
Thing is, producer boy insisted that 13 sounded as much like 1970 Black Sabbath as possible - even down to rejecting riffs if they didn't fit the 'immediately post-first album' vibe he was after. I don't think 13 is the album they'd've made if left up to their own devices.
I'm ok with Zeppelin putting a full stop on it after the O2. -
Come on, you've always wanted to hear Bowie's glam anthem re-done as a Stax soul stomp, right?! This might well be actual genius...
-
Tainted, though. When I was a kid, there was a little shit on the next street called John Baldwin - I had to smack him for nicking the milk off me mam's doorstep!
-
More of a groove than an actual song? That's not always a bad thing, but here I can see why it sat in the vaults. Agreed re. the observations on Jimmy's PG-type playing. I'm glad I've finally heard this, but, well, y'know...
-
I wonder what makes him say that...? 🤔
-
I'm never again buying anything that's been previously released. Flat-out nothing.
Line up, lube up and bend over for the Marketing Depts' latest scam to get us to fork out for things we already own? Nah.
We need previously unreleased stuff. But we won't get it while ever people are willing to re-buy the same stuff, over and over. -
Cornholio!
-
Nowt. Not until I saw redrum's cloud photos, anyway! Great stuff.
-
President Duterte will have you all killed!

I hate tea - even Yorkshire Tea. Couldn't sup it if tha paid us.

Surely Jimmy doesn't need to flog anything to raise income for owt, though - he's got more than enough rolling in to cover anything he'll ever need, no?
Stuff like this makes me glad I don't have the Collector Gene - it must drive collectors mental knowing that stuff like this is out there but it's out of their grasp.
People should do what they want with their own money but, frankly, anyone who'll spend 1600 quid on a photo deserves to spend 1600 quid on a photo...

See the one on the left? I used to know her...

Things People Do That Rub You

It's a good point: if you pay for insurance (car, house), you don't refuse on principle to make a claim on it when you need to - you put the claim in and they pay out, right?
Dunno how it works in the US, but the UK's National Insurance is the same thing - you pay it out of your wages, so you're covered if you need it in future.
If you've paid into an insurance scheme it doesn't make you a skiver if you make a claim on your insurance - and you don't view any payout as a 'benefit' , do you?
You're getting what you paid for. Same with NI. As for working for your dole money: bullshit - if you make a claim on your car insurance, you don't have to clean the insurance company's toilets for six months as a condition of being paid out, do you? Same thing. And just as the payout on house or car insurance isn't limited to the amount you've paid into the scheme, neither is NI. Once you're in the scheme, you're fully covered. Or should be. We all know what a set of welching bastds insurance companies are, though! Anyway, things people do that rub me up the wrong way? They exist...😉
