Jahfin Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, it would have been interesting to see what they would've done with Queen though, in my opinion. It wasn't as though they were never open to collaborations but for the most part, they always seem to play it close to the chest. I'm not sure what the reasons behind that were (or if there even were any) but it's something I've always admired about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm sad that they were in their prime before I was even born, but can't really fault them for that. Just wish I had been around for the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Zep Girl Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Everything happens for a reason. Whether you want to believe it or not. I too wish I would have been born earlier so I could actually witness some of the things Zeppelin did. But I'm not going to dwell on that for the rest of my life. As of right now, I am so greatful that the three remaining members are in good health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingLovingHeartbreaker Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That none of the surviving members have came out with their own fragrance. For example: Zoso for men and women. I'd buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrongeragurl Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I feel that if Led Zeppelin performed at woodstock they would steal the whole festival. Not saying the other groups are subpar, just how the crowd would react. They should of released more of their acoustic work from headley grange. From what i've heard, Jimmy still hasn't released it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gospel Zone Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The fact that they never collaborated with anyone like Queen or the Grateful Dead If I were part of a big name act such as Led Zeppelin, The Stones , The Beatles, The Who etc. I would be very careful not to get involved with other acts. I'd try stick to bringing in unknowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingLovingHeartbreaker Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 haha! oh man, I wonder what it would smell like. I don't know exactly what scents could be used to create it, but It would be a unisex fragrance. Something elegant, mysterious, and sexy. The bottle would be shaped like an obelisk, to give it "Presence". And with the Zoso logo in white against the black bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZ-ZOSO Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I also wish there was more live, pro-shot video footage of Led Zeppelin in concert. At least one or two full concert videos from all of their tours. Imagine pro-shot, band authorized, video of Led Zeppelin from the Fillmore West in 1969 all the way up to and including Led Zeppelin's Last Stand in Berlin, Germany on July 7, 1980. I do have the last two Earl's Court 1975 concerts as well as Seattle 1977 and both Knebworth 1979 concerts on dvd. For a band like Led Zeppelin, that toured the way They did and gave the fans everything They had, I do think that it is sad that these are the only dvd's that are currently available as "Bootleg" (not including the "Song Remains the Same", which most Led Zeppelin fans have seen 100's of times and can be bought at your local Best Buy). If anyone knows of any other live, full-length "bootleg" dvds that are out there, Please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickagain98 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 They would've blown Jimi (Hendrix) off the stage if they did play Woodstock, imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezer Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 They didn't shoot concerts on films (except for TSRTS). That's why the quality of their footage is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm also sad that I wasn't born in Birmingham ten years earlier and was chosen by the band to be their rhythm guitarist and harmonizing vocalist with Robert! AHHHH to dream........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 That none of the surviving members have came out with their own fragrance. For example: Zoso for men and women. I'd buy it! That's a cool idea! It could be a unisex fragrance, smelling of Scottish heather, Egyptian incense, cigarettes and 1970's wood paneling (suggesting the interior of a recording studio). Maybe a slight hint of guitar polish too. And Jack Daniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I hate the way they fucked up the TSRTS concert(s). I don't want to see a motion picture during Page's best live solo (No Quarter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like them or not, the fantasy sequences are a huge part of the original concept for The Song Remains the Same. In some circles, they're even considered groundbreaking in the sense of conceptual filmmaking which came to be de rigueur on MTV years later. Then again, everyone has claimed to invented that idea years prior, including the creators of The Monkees television program. Truth is, no one person perfected the idea prior to MTV but they sure helped to popularize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnthepage Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm sad that they didn't get along with the media. I'm also bummed that none of them wrote an auto-biography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I'd count Jimmy's photo book as an auto-biography, well the only LZ member's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Not sure I'd consider Page's book an autobiography, at least not in the tradition sense because it's essentially a book of photos, not writing. That's where the true insight into his career would come from. Yes, you can still tell a story using only photographs but I wouldn't call that an autobiography. As for Zeppelin's stance with the press, I actually admired that. We didn't need to know all of the intimate details of their lives. It also helped to create a sense of mystery which has come to be as big a part of their legacy as the music itself. Tons of other artists have learned from that approach as well.

I don't recall there being any "schemes" in The Song Remains the Same. There's always fans out there that think they know better than the band themselves but they did what they thought was the right thing to do at the time. No, it hasn't aged well and it often causes them to be the subject of ridicule but it's also a huge part of their legacy, for better or for worse.

Geezer Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I don't think their legacy would exacerbate had they released the raw footage of the MSG gigs. OK, those concerts contained some mistakes, but they were too trivial and definitely not a pertinent reason for not releasing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get where you're coming from about the press. It's just a little sad that Rolling Stones, of all of the media outlets, pretty much bashed them every chance they could. Keeping their distance from them def. made them more intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
