LeD-kHaN Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I am sure that Led Zeppelin members listened to contemporary music in their leisure which included the bands & artists from the 60s-to-the present. Can anyone name any talent that was appreciated by LZ? I can only think of Elvis, Sex Pistols & John Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Robert loves North-African music, hence the freaky percussion on some of his albums (at one of the Songlines world music CD's was a compilation of world music which he fancies, which includes bands like Tinariwen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Robert was a big MOBY GRAPE fan and Bonzo loved the Soul music of Motown from the 1960's. ROCK ON FOREVER my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Levee Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I know Jimmy was quite fond of Bob Marley. I saw it on a documentary, and there was a picture of him holding one of his albums. I cant seem to find the pic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah J Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 That is soooo cool. I love Bob Marley. Bob Marley's Resort is just down the street from the hotel I work for in the Bahamas. We have been quite a few times. It's really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Robert's a fan of so many different artists - a few he's mentioned of somewhat more recent times: Scott Matthews, Tinariwen, Black Keys, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Richard Hawley, George Jones, Rachid Taha, Tartit, Tidawt, Jeff Buckley.

zeppelincheetah Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Prodigy. I'm pretty sure one of the members of Led Zeppelin (can't remember who) spoke very highly of them about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzzoso Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I read somewhere that Jimmy was asked sometime in the early to mid 1980's what groups he listened to or admired and the one that I remember him saying was RUSH. Most of us know that Rush's guitarist, Alex Lifeson, is, was and has always been a huge fan of Jimmy Page. Just listen to Rush's first album and Jimmy's influence on Alex Lifeson's guitar playing is clearly evident. It is my favorite Rush album even though it does not feature Neil Peart on drums. On the great song, "Here Again", during the solo if you close your eyes and listen you (or at least I) could almost swear that the solo is being played by Jimmy himself. The solo starts at 4:38 and continues til 6:34. Check it out on Youtube: just type in Rush Here Again in the search box and it should be the second (2nd) song that is listed. The first listing is a live version of "Here Again". Check them both out but again listen to the solo on the studio version. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page-ist Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Has noone mentioned that Jimmy likes the Black Crowes? And I also heard someone say somewhere else that he said that Jimi Hendrix was the greatest guitarist EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivar Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I read somewhere that Robert and Jimmy were fans of Joni Mitchel. Yes, that's true. Their song Going To California is reportebly about her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
