Joe Schmo Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 1. Done the air drum roll with John Bonham at the end of Whole Lotta Love 2. And the beginning of Rock n Roll 3. You know that, man for man, there has never been a more musically talented band ever 4. You've wondered why, oh why, couldn't they have toured JUST ONCE in the last 25 years 5. You've strummed your thumb and forefinger together along with John Paul Jones during that bass riff in Good Times, Bad Times 6. And Dazed and Confused 7. Wondered, "If Bonham hadn't died, how long would they have stayed together?" 8. You, along with Robert Plant, have screamed, "You've been bad to me, woman but it's coming back home to you" while listening to Your Time is Gonna Come 9. Tried to play the opening guitar riff on Over the Hills and Far Away (Even I'VE done that and I have zero musical ability) 10. You can't imagine anyone besides Robert Plant being the lead singer of that band 11. Felt your heart race while Jimmy Page whales on the guitar in Dazed and Confused 12. And Nobody's Fault But Mine 13. And The Song Remains the Same 14. And...well....you get the idea 15. Cliched as it is, you NEVER get tired of hearing Stairway to Heaven 16. The first time you heard the words in Misty Mountain Hop, you thought to yourself, "What the HELL are they talking about?" 17. Even though they didn't sound that great, you still thought it was pretty cool when they reunited at Live-Aid 18. Thought that John Paul Jones was very underrated and in many ways, the lynch pin of the band 19. Marveled, and I mean TRULY MARVELED, at how talented a guitarist Jimmy Page is 20. Said to yourself, "If I were to win the 100 million dollar lotto, I would pay Zep whatever I had to in order to get them to play a concert at the local neighborhood bar by my house." Well, there's my short list. I'm sure if I thought about it I could come up with several more. Anyone have any of their own they would like to add?

Evermore Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 1: Spent hours spinning the pinwheel inside the cover of Led Zeppelin III. 2. Built a shrine to Led Zeppelin in your bedroom. Complete with incense and a flag of the fallen angel. 3 Carried the tab songbook "Led Zeppelin Complete" wherever you go until it wears out. 4. Played Stairway to Heaven backwards both on vinyl and digital formats. 5. Still continue to play Stairway to Heaven whenever you pick up a guitar.

bonzo1026 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Nice list. Here's one to add to it: You've cried and screamed like a 2 yr. old teething baby with diaper rash and colic because you didn't win the "lottery" and you're NOT at the fucking show right now and you know for a fact that a fair percentage of people that ARE at the show aren't NEARLY as big a fan as you are! I think that covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StMark's Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 15. Cliched as it is, you NEVER get tired of hearing Stairway to Heaven __________ You lost me at #15.

bfisch Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I sing the entire TSRTS version of Stairway to the studio version. I also play my own improvised version of Stairway based off the TSRTS version on keyboard. (yes, solo included) I've done almost all of that stuff ... but I cracked up laughing at number 9. I tried playing that intro so many times on guitar. I can play it at a warped pace; some things I can only play fast, others I can only play slow.

manderlyh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 How about if every time you see a road sign that says "Plant Entrance" you tell whoever is in the car with you,"Hey, that's where Robert lives!" Oh MY GOD! Oh no!! I laughed my fucking ass off at that one. In fact, I am still laughing my ass off at that one. I can just see me saying that, and my friends or family just pretending that they didn't hear it because it's so stupid. When that usually happens, I'm like: "Did you hear me? I said..." sang "Does anybody remember laughter?" and "I hope so" while listening to the studio version of Stairway Yes! Excellent one! I have done that numerous times myself. What about the "stop" in the studio version of "Out on the Tiles?" I can't listen to it without singing "stop." ...evidently;I'm not a Zeppelin fan. What should I do about this pesky tattoo? Get a big, fat Stones Toungue to cover it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hioctane103 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 yup, im a zeppelin fan. pretty much everyone of those are true except the last. ive never thought of that. how about saying "f*ck!" everytime before you play the song Friends on your acoustic or having the little conversation with yourself: "shall we roll it jimmy?" .... "nah leave it yeah..." haha i also like copying all of page's little "mannerisms" when i play guitar, just like his hand waving thing when he plays theremin, or the violin bow mimic on dazed. or the mischievious stance from kashmir, etc... i know a lot of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Mountains Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Well, I guess the thing that I wished that I had done every since I heard TSRTS is wish I was that person in Stairway to Heaven that lets out that loud whistle in the audience, I think all of you will know what I am talking about.

Joe Schmo Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I thought of another one. You hear "Heartbreaker" on the radio. Being the Zephead that you are, you have been conditioned to expect it to go right into "Livin Lovin Maid." Then when it DOESN'T (commercial, song by a different band), you think it sounds strange. It's like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop and it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I've done all of them. In a city about an hour away from us they have a plant that says *Fill in city name* Plant and when I was really little I thought Robert Plant really lived there. Needless to say I was disappointed when I found out he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop and it doesn't. When I started listening to my Zeppelin on my MP3 player in the car, I'd get all confused because my MP3 player doesn't play the tracks in order they were put on the albums. I usually choose "shuffle all" or "shuffle" under the Zeppelin title. Here's another one I've perfected the way to pound out rythmns on my dashboard and steering wheel when I'm driving. I get a lot of stares in traffic. It keeps me happy though. I'm particularly good at being Jimmy and JPJ at once on "Bron-Yr-Stomp." I get embarassed when I realize someone's watching me.

ChildOfTheSun Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 . 2. Built a shrine to Led Zeppelin in your bedroom. Complete with incense and a flag of the fallen angel LOL...When my wife and I were newly married 20 years ago, I did this to our spare bedroom in our apartment. I put up all my Zeppelin posters and framed pictures from my collection centered around the official tour poster a friend bought for me in Japan. When she came home the look on her face was priceless. I asked her what she thought and her reply was it'll do but I was thinking of paint not wallpaper!

norwich_fc Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Haha, done may of those, particularly singing "does anybody remember laughter?". Another: You smile to yourself and get a warm feeling when you hear the name of the Coventry City and Wales footballer Robert Page. Not sure if this is particularly relevant, but I can no longer hear Communication Breakdown without instantly reaching for my phone, as I had it as my ring tone for such a long time!
