  1. I remember buying "Walking into Clarksdale" the day it was released. I loved it then and still love it to this very day. Like someone already mentioned, it is not a "Led Zeppelin" record but a "Page/Plant" record. If someone had the expectation of hearing "new" Led Zeppelin music when they bought or heard this album, than maybe I could see their disappointment. However, I knew that this was a new Page/Plant collaboration and anticipated it as such. And I was not let down. My question is to those who were disappointed: How or why or could you be disappointed with anything that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant ever released? I only wish that they would continue in some form or another. Obviously, the ultimate would be to remember John Paul Jones' phone number and get Jason behind the drums again.
  2. has not set their status

  3. What I would recommend is that you go to Youtube.com and just type in Terry Reid in the search box and just press enter. The first song to pop up should be "Seeds of Memory". Listen to that one. That was the first song that I listened to. Very good song. I was very impressed with Terry's singing and the music and song itself. Check it out. After that, I just listened to other Terry Reid songs that looked like they were studio recordings. I wanted to hear his studio songs first before I checked out his live stuff. I recomend that you do the same. Once you do, let me know what you think. Lastly, to get back to the main topic of my original post, try and imagine what Led Zeppelin would have been or sounded like if Terry Reid did take up Jimmy's offer for him to join the "New Yardbirds". Just try and imagine. Pretty hard if you ask me.
  4. If I could travel back in time I would travel back to 1968 and get to know Peter Grant and Jimmy Page and tell them that I would be the perfect road manager for the new band they were forming. Of course, I would become their road manager instead of Richard Cole. Knowing what I know now including all the highs and lows of Led Zeppelin's rise and fall, I would pretty much keep their history intact. Of course, I would prevent alot of the "lows" that eventually brought on the demise of the "mighty Led Zeppelin". Besides being an actual member of Led Zeppelin (or Peter Grant), which I would not want to be, this would be the next best "gig" that I can think of.
  5. I have read almost every post written on this great topic. I am a big "Doors" fan. If I had to choose my five favorite Doors songs they would be, in no particular, order: Texas Radio and the Big Beat Peace Frog Waiting for the Sun When the Musics Over Five To One
  6. That is actually pretty funny. Terry Reid. Tara Reid. Whatever DID happen to them? Just Kidding. Although, I really do think that Terry Reid was (is) a great singer, I always thought that Tara Reid was just a mediocore actress. However, I give her some credit for showing her tits in a couple of average movies. Not too bad. I do think that Terry Reid is a better singer than Tara Reid is an actresss.
  7. Back to my original topic. I have read the book "Helter Skelter" obviously about Charles Manson and the book, "The Stranger Besides Me" about Ted Bundy. Plus a couple of other serial killers in a killer (no pun intended) Time/Life book about serial killers that included chapters on John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz, Richard Ramirez and a couple of other less prominent sociopaths. I realize this may be a morbid or "mumbo jumbo" topic (as others have said), but I know that I am not the only one who has ever read a book about such a topic as this. That is most of my point in starting such topics as this one. What do you know/think/feel/believe (or not believe), etc.. Respond or not. I just like to get people to think of different and various "mumbo jumbo" subjects (sometimes). I am always welcome to your thoughts and CRITICISMS. Believe me, nothing can and will ever phase me.
  8. For some reason you sound a bit harsh and/or angry. You just mentioned anal sex, spanking, ritual mutilation and cannabalist recipes. I agree that those subjects would be considered more "controversial" but what the fuck are you talking about. Starting a topic about "Serial Killers" is alot different than "cannibalist recipes". I don't even know what that is. The term, "Serial Killer" is a somewhat common phrase or subject. "Cannibalist recipes" is not. If you know something that I do not, then that is okay. Like I said earlier, I am open to others opinions, curiosities, beliefs, perception, etc... I am sure you have heard the phrase, "SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL". As we all now by now, that phrase would describe Led Zeppelin, probably more than any other band, without question (especially the "Rock and Roll").
  9. Yes I can and have. Some recents topics I have started: Most Powerful scenes in movie history Top Five Favorite solo Robert Plant songs Top Five Favorite solo Jimmy Page songs Better actor: Al Pacino or Robert DeNiro Led Zeppelin by any other name Jimmy Page: Who he influenced? Terry Reid Five famous people that you would like to meet. Robert Plant: Guitar Player? Plus others. These topics I just mentioned it seems to me would fall under the category of "happy" and not "mumbo jumbo". Lastly, I sometimes like to start up topics that may be a little "controversial". If people choose to respond to such topics, cool. If not, cool. Curiousity, debate, opinions, facts, etc... I am interested in all these things that people have on certain sujects.
  10. I have read plenty of books related to the subject of Serial killers. In my opinion, I believe that Theodore Robert Bundy must be the most "prolific" American serial killer of all-time. I find this subject completely fascinating. My reason: What is it that makes certain individuals capable of such heinous crimes? Charles Manson Ted Bundy Jeffrey Dahmer David Berkowitz Gary Ridgway (the Green River Killer) etc... Obviously there are alot more American and other serial killers I could name. Who would you say is the worst of them all?
  11. We all know that Jimmy Page's first choice for the lead singer in his new group was Terry Reid. We also know that Terry Reid passed up the opportunity and recommended Robert Plant. As fate would have it, this became the "Mighty Led Zeppelin" that provided the world with the greatest and best music of all-time. Having been a Led Zeppelin fan for over 25 years now I think I know almost everything to know about Led Zeppelin. However, I just recently came across the music and singing of Terry Reid (thanks alot to YouTube). Just tonight I listened to at least 10 Terry Reid songs on YouTube. I was very pleasantly surprised. Terry Reid was (is) a very good and talented singer (having never really heard him sing before). Of course I am grateful and pleased that Mr. Reid turned down the job of lead singer with Jimmy Page's new band, because I don't think the music and "the Song Remains the Same" with any other singer than Robert Plant. However, with the help of YouTube, I am now a very big fan of Terry Reid. Check out his songs. All it takes is a quick search.
  12. If any of you are familiar with Rush's first album, listen to the song, "Here Again". Great Bluesy song. The guitar solo is so much Jimmy Page that it is beyond coincidence. Just read the above comment. Alex says he wanted to play like him. On this great Rush song, he does just that. Check it out.
  13. Don't get me wrong, I have never watched the show, the Hours, and do not know what it is even about. I obviuosly know who Geddy Lee is because I am also a huge Rush fan, but I do not know who the Eric is you are speaking of. Is it perhaps that you meant, Alex, as in Alex Lifeson, the great guitar player from Rush?
  14. I am currently (rereading) the book titled "the Stranger Beside Me" about Teodore Robert Bundy written by Ann Rule. Great book about the "infamous" Ted Bundy.
  15. Hello all! I admitted that when I started this topic that if I HAD to choose 5 Robert Plant solo songs those would be it. (See the very first topic post). However, it seems that alot of you seem to have a hard time just choosing 5 Robert Plant songs. Believe me, so did I. So if you choose, feel free to post as many RP songs that fit your criteria. My others would include: in no particular order: Watching You Burning Down One Side Shine It All Around The Way I Feel Sea of Love More from me to come later. I have alot of Robert Plant songs to listen to.
  16. Even though this thread has over 2000 replies, of course which I have not read more than 10 of them, it does seem to me to be, from the first couple I did read, just trivia about dates. Not "mysteries".
  17. Can you remember when or where you first "discovered" any kind of "live" Led Zeppelin recordings? I became a die-hard LZ fan when I was 13 years old and living in St. Louis, Missouri. Back around then I used to go to record conventions or record shows with the guy that actually turned me on to Led Zeppelin (he was around 16). It was there that I first found and first bought my first LZ bootleg album. To be completely honest I actually cannot remember what that record was. Maybe "Persistence" from San Francisco 1973. Nonetheless, since that first bootleg, I have amassed at least 150+ bootlegs of the "Mighty Led Zeppelin" over the past 25 years. This include albums, tapes, cd's, videos, and dvd's. After St. Louis, my family moved to Hillsborough, New Jersey (about an hour outside of New York City). I was 17 then. Some of my fondest memories are of me going to NYC by myself or with some friends, drinking beer, smoking joints and walking around Greenwich Village. The Village has some of the best record stores I have ever been to. During most of those "trips" I would always come home with at least one or two new LZ bootleg cd. It was there that I also discovered the once popular ZOSO magazine. Anyway, that is my little story of how I discovered the power of the live LED ZEPPELIN experience. To this day I am still seeking and searching for all that I can find. Remember, back then there was no Internet or Google or YouTube like there is today. What are your great stories of how you discovered your own collection of LZ bootlegs?
  18. Do you know if Michael Douglas is or was a confirmed Led Zeppelin fan, now or back in the day? Just Curious.
  19. My top 5 favorite Robert Plant solo songs are: (in chronological order): 1. Big Log (Principle Of Moments) 2. Easily Lead (Shaken 'N Stirred) 3. Big Love (Manic Nirvana) 4. I Cried (Manic Nirvana) 5. Calling to You (Fate of Nations) Of course I have more to choose from, however, if I had to choose only five, I think these would be them.
  20. Jimmy Page: "Hoover Nose". According to one of the books I have read, John Bindon calls Jimmy this because whenever Jimmy entered a room where the others were doing cocaine, Jimmy would come in and snort up a bunch of coke. Hence the name.
  21. Bonham (Bonzo) "the Beast" Page (Pagey) "Led Wallet"
  22. To be perfectly honest in my opinion, I DO NOT even consider anything about Janis Joplin (or her singing) when I listen to or even think about Robert Plant's singing in any days of Led Zeppelin's professional career. Even in Led Zeppelin's early days of touring. It may be the fact that both could and did sing the blues that these comparisons are inevitable. But, Janis Joplin tragically died of a heroin overdose in October of 1970. This was roughly about the time of the release of LZ III. I for one do not see or compare Robert Plant to be the "male Janis Joplin".
  23. I think this picture of Robert Plant and Michael Douglas is pretty cool. I never thought I would see a picture of these two together. I wonder if Michael ever saw Led Zeppelin live back in the 1970's or if Robert Plant has seen "Wall Street".
  24. Great Picture!!! I have never seen this one before.
