    It should be of note that Jones was using a standard 12 string acoustic guitar for Ten Years Gone/The Battle of Evermore and a mandolin for Going to California for all of the first leg of the 1977 tour. I suppose it's possible Manson started building the guitar leading up to 1977, but wasn't actually finished until by the time Zeppelin had to fly out to Birmingham from London? 

    I knew that. Now when he started building it, we will probably never know. Maybe he just wanted to build a cool guitar for Jones and it might be he knew the 1977 setlist in advance and he indeed started building it just before 1977.

  2. I believe in my singing for quite a long time now, but I had a terrible nightmare about everyone hearing music right and me being like the guy in Metallica One video.

  3. And I'm actually getting more and more integrated into society with music, but I'm also quite worried at times.

    And it's hard for me, because except for a few little a bit of grandiose moments in my life, I'm very unconfident, although it's certainly getting better.

    I love this forum honestly and I can never quit music, but I had such hard times in life.

    Please read the letter that I wrote.

  4. And this is not about being successful and I know that by asking people on the forum whether I have amusia is almost like wanting validation for my music. But perhaps what do you think?

  5. I have become quite convinced in the last few months I have amusia, which is a wider more complex term for basicaly tone deafness. By new reasearch it is not 4 percent but only 1.5 procent of people who have this disease and it can also happen because of cognitive mental problems and is not necessarily present from birth. The problem is, when you are not hearing things right, your brain and other people can easily confuse you in various directions, but I think I'm slowly crawling out of trouble.

    Of course, anyone who works hard, is creative, or just better than others at particular things deserve to be compensated for that talent and hard work. However that is a far cry from accumulating resources to the extreme just to do so as some perverse dick measuring competition. All resources are finite and all should have access to those resources at least to the degree to live a somewhat comfortable life. If one persons success comes at the detriment of the majority than the system is broken as for one person, or a small group of people hoarding the majority or resources is simply not sustainable over the long term. The center simply cannot hold.

     

    True!

    Once artificial intelligence gains sentience the human race is over, plain and simple. No way a conscious computer would interpret the human race as anything but a threat and general disaster. Skynet will eradicate the shit outta us and, IMO, we deserve it. We are actively destroying this planet, actively destroying our fellow humans, and for what? A few silly sheckles and power. The power thing cracks me up the most as it is just an illusion. No one can have true power over anything or anyone until one masters control and power over ones self first, however, should a person actually achieve self-actualization as described by Abraham Maslov, he / she would not need or desire power over anyone else or anything else.

    The asylum was turned over the the lunatics at day one.

    Well I guess you need some power over your own belongings, socialism didn't work. But we need a fair enough capitalism. But if you got people who are truly great like Led Zeppelin, don't they deserve their success?

     

    Have to go now to a jam down town, bye! 

     

     

     

  8. Some deep thinking and lastingly fought pains eventually turn into humour! How to save the world from all evil?: get all the 'bad people' with serious personality disorders into psychotherapy, people like many politicians and psychopaths in prisons and all sorts of mean evil people, that many times juts don't want to change! Ok? We got that?  

     

    Oh, then we are left with earthquakes, diseases, accidents.... well back to the drawing board!

     

    Oh and just some more thinking, I read that in 20 years we are gonna have fully functioning artificial intelligence that will be aware of itself! Nothing new that it might rebel, as it is not exactly a shovel.

    And then there is also death and ageing, which is not exactly a perfect thing either and I highly doubt we will ever be able to transport a human brain into a computer, as it is a organic sponge.

     

    Sorry for the rambling, please don't mistake eccentricity for confidence, at least it was not about me, well maybe a little. ;)

     

    And remember, if you love very hard to play songs, just play them, because you love them!  ;)

     

     

  9. This is going to be awesome! Hope for a follow up! I always dreamed about a long documentary of all their albums MTV Rockumentary style, I love this documentary. I was very disappointed with the trailer I have to say, but I'm sure it's gonna be great!

     

    Pre zep history is something I didn't explore that much until I got the Jimmy Page Anthology although that's mostly about Jimmy. I'm happy to own ten books about Zeppelin now and a new and truly great documentary is always very welcome for every fan!! 

  10. What makes me happy right now is that I work in a nursery home for the elderly(voluntarily) on the demented section and everybody is very pleased with me and I play music to the whole nursery home in the garden and I also jam with great local musicians(I sing mostly) and socialise a lot with them and getting more confident. I'm also happy to be very healthy, I'm japing about myself and Led Zeppelin less and less ;) and taking normal conversations and socialising and accepting I'm on the mild side of schizophrenia spectrum (and perhaps some autism, it overlaps a lot anyway) and taking a few little pills, small dosages.  :)  My album might get on the radio a bit, don't know. I'm moderately raised, never cared to be a star.
