I don't care what ANYONE says but I am very satisfied that Osama bin Laden is dead. I would like to think that almost every American is over-joyed with the news of his death. I know there are some people on this site who disparage people like me because I am very vocal about being a Proud and Loyal American. (You know who you are).
With that being said, I am also Proud of the CIA and the Special Forces (Navy SEALS) who carried out this 'historic' operation. Very Proud that bin Laden was killed by Americans.
Just like September 11, 2001 is an important date in American history, so is this new date, May 1, 2011.
LONG LIVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
God bless you.
PS: This just in...AP report says binloaden was burried at sea.

Yeah I know. Kind of weird. One day a part. Being reported this happened a week ago? Dunno yet.
-
Google Hitler's date of death.
-
That doesn't mean there won't be reprisals.
Who said it did? My point is... on this day, Let evil hide in fear, not us. Justice is served.
-
Well, according to what the Pres just said, he hasn't been dead for years.
I'm concerned about the possibility of reprisals . .
Seriously? Over 3000 innocent people died at the hands of this bastard. We (the USA) just served justice.

Shot in the face!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets put it this way...If "Bonzo Jr." were to pass away (God forbid, knock on wood and all that) Mr. Halfin would be the first one looking to cash in on the pictures he has taken. And you can take that to the bank Ross, you KFC luva.

How did you get their autographs?
On eBay, silly...
(I am joking of course.)I got a few at the forum shops at ceasers. Robert and Jimmy.

Well again, as I recall he sold his rights to royalties on the sales of Led Zeppelin's back catalog, not his rights to royalties on publishing as a songwriter.
I don't see why Atlantic Records would sue him for sampling Jimmy's guitar from Led Zeppelin recordings for use in Tall Cool One, as Atlantic Records holds the copyright for all the songs. I suppose there's the remote possibility his management failed to secure a licensing agreement with Atlantic Records to do so, but again I can see no motivation for them to sue an artist (Plant) who is on their label using samples from another artist (Zep) on their label. I believe Robert has quipped he could have sued himself for doing it.
Semantics. He did discuss it in an interview, whether it makes sense, or not. The content in which it was brought up, I can't remember, but it was talked about.
-
But by saying that, doesn't he then prove that he did sample it and it wasn't a re-recording? That doesn't make sense to me.
Not everything makes sense, or can be explained. Everyone knew it was Zep samples. I believe Robert was pointing out that in a sense of being sued by Atlantic for using his own music it was not going to stand in court, as it is him, and Jimmy. Absurd to think of such a thing yes? I doubt he was serious, but his point is not to be taken lightly. Look what took place with John Fogerty of CCR.
-
I don't think it's ever been clarified if Robert sold off his songwriter royalties or his Led Zeppelin royalties.
The band, along with Atlantic, own the rights to the lyrics. If you remember, Robert had made it an issue about sampling Jimmy's licks on his Tall Cool One song. He said that Atlantic could not sue him for using them, as it would be tough to prove that it wasn't Jimmy doing it in present day.
When asked in a BBC interview about the fortune he must be making in royalties off of Zeps music Plant said, I sold them years ago.
I don't have the interview, and honestly, do not know it to be fact. I am going by memory.

In my best Tortelvis voice -
I'll post more details when I find them. I'd never heard he sold them to Jimmy before. So far as I know it was a deal with Atlantic Records which may have been tied into starting his own label (Es Peranza) and launching a solo career so it could have been 1981; my notes elude me at the moment.
Is why I cleared that part up. I did not say he sold them to Jimmy. Not an issue. It is my understanding however that Jimmy does own/obtained them at a later date. No source on that.
-
For once in a while this thread is a little quiet. I have a new one.
MrZoSo has made a claim in another thread that Robert Plant sold his songwriting royalties for Led Zeppelin's songs to Jimmy Page in 1983.
Can anyone confirm or deny this, or offer any more information?
Just to clarify, I said this...
I believe it was 83 when Robert sold his royalties to Atlantic, which wound up in the hands of Jimmy. -
Robert Plant did sell his rights to royalties from Led Zeppelin's back catalog circa 1983.
This was during the height of New Wave Pop & New Wave British Heavy Metal music.
I believe he sold them to the label (Atlantic Records).
There was a 20th Anniversary single for 'Stairway to Heaven' but Director Richard Linklater was told he could not use Led Zeppelin music in 'Dazed And Confused' despite having held a favorable private screening with Page/Plant. Some internet sites infer Jones & Page approved but Robert opposed and exerted 1/3 creative control. I
don't specifically remember but I seem to recall Linklater was simply told it was a
"band decision". They had yet to allow their music to be used in any films at that time.
And in my best Elvis voice...
Huuh Thank u, Steve...Huuih thank u very much.

And you edited that?
Lol, Yes. I had to fix the quote.

IS JIMMY PAGE EVER GOING TO SELL HIS DOUBLE NECK GUITAR OR HIS GIBSON. IS HE?
No.

It has been nice seeing Eddie give the proper credit to Jimmy as an inspiration in the past few years, instead of the nasty comments he had made as a younger man. While I do not like to compare, I think Jimmy's accomplishments and capabilities hugely out way Eddie's speed, which is all Eddie brings to the table on paper. Although if tested I think Page could play as fast as Eddie, Jimmy is a musician first. He can (has) write/written music on an epic scale that can be compared to some of the greatest musical composers in history. Eddie does not possess this gift. Urinating on the neck of a guitar does not qualify Eddie to be on the same playing field as Page. Just my opinion.

well it seems the German pressing. There are also a couple of pressings from Yugoslavia, at least one totally Yugoslavian and one German with over printing in Yugo language.
Hey Luke. I believe you and I have crossed paths on eBay a few times, many years ago. I may have even purchased something from you lol...But I remember you name.
-
where did you get the record from,i have II but the one with " 20 orginals"
plus i have been spending most of my time looking for I but either too damaged or way too expensive.
Actually, it's 2 Originals. 2 Originals of Led Zeppelin is the title.
The inside is Zep I and Zep II....I think It is German?, and was pulled immediately when Peter Grant found out Atlantic was pressing it. Yeah, it is expensive. I have had it for a long time. Maybe 20 years ago. I got it in a record shop, in freehold NJ. Think I paid around 40 bucks for it at the time.

Yes i am a stupid person but would vinyl records count?
I would hope so! Here is one of my favorite vinyls I have.
This inside...

I'm not sure if you noticed it or not Knebby, but there seems to be something large protruding out of Jimmy's pants. Very odd photo.

Jimmy Page & Charlotte Martin, Montreal, 1970. More information to follow.
As requested by Steve A. Jones.

dude, i'm here to meet COOL ZepHeads, not clowns like yourself. If the pics bother you, simply scroll by them ....! No need to waste your life making comments about things that aren't your concern-knucklehead!
I'd make a few really nasty remarks here, but it will be removed. So Fuck it, I will anyway.
How about you simply scroll off the internet so us "clowns" can view a thread the way it was intended.
Not your personal photobucket with every post.
Osama bin Laden DEAD

Not at all. I did not read any expression other than fear. My thoughts at the time of this bastards death was not one of fear, but of justice. As to the point you did make, I think rational people understand we are at risk of retaliation. It is in fact a serious concern/factor, just not my first thought in hearing a mass murderer had been shot in the face.
