neilymon Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Does any body know if Led Zeppelin recorded American Woman. I thought is was done by The Guess Who. Someone here in the area thinks it was Led Zeppelin. I listened to their version and it sure seems like The Guess Who's distintive sound or NOT Led Zeppelin's distintive sound.

Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The Guess Who I'm sure. Lenny Kravitz covered it for an Austin Powers movie soundtrack I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie29 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 The Guess Who. I saw them in December 1972 , the same year Live At The Paramount was released (one of my favourite live albums), I still have the original vinyl I bought all those years ago. They were the support band for Three Dog Night! Bachman had left and was replaced by Kurt Winter and Don McDougall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always felt that if Bachman had stayed, they could have continued as a really good viable act. Unfortunately, Cummings went Vegas and the rest is history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtherealAirship Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 With all due respect to Bachman, the late Kurt Winter was an underrated guitarist who played and sung his way into the history of that band. His sound and style has never been duplicated to this day. His musicianship was one of a kind and is very, very missed. The planned follow up album to 'American Woman', 'The Way They Were' with Bachman (released from the vaults in 1976), can't begin to compare with the 1970 release 'Share The Land' with Winter. Kurt brought a pocketful of songs into that band from another group called Brother and they fit like a glove in The Guess Who. Unfortunately the band withdrew from its hippie roots in the mid-seventies and dismissed Winter in 1974. The band was never the same. Kurt Winter 1946 - 1997 R.I.P. We miss you.

Aquamarine Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I don't really understand why anybody would think this song was Zeppelin? (Not being sarcastic, I mean I genuinely don't see it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdr Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Maybe because it have the WLL riff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah but the fact it had already been used by Zeppelin should make it obvious it wasn't them. To me, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermedalist Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 The Guess Who it was and I saw them in concert in Rochester back in the day. They were fabulous. They had alot of great material. Sure the top 40 stuff like Star Baby, but American Woman, These Eyes. And they are from Canada, just like Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyzoso Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 It was the time i started to become a LZ fan at the time i didn't know much of their songs only Kashmir and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You I wasn't for sure if "American Woman" was actually by The Guess Who. I started to listen more of classic rock music back in the days and up to today i listen alot of alternative rock music i didn't start listening Classic rock music til 2 years ago. I'm use to listen to Grunge music, alternative music in the 90s and early 2000s, and today's rock music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
