firebird1999us Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Carouselambra and a lot of the 80s sounding stuff like Ozone Baby off of Coda. Although Carouselambrahas that big thick guitar part in the middle for anyone brave enough to make it that far. I always thought In The evening was lazy songwriting too.

Knebby Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) If any of it was 80s sounding, that just shows they were always ahead of their time. Edited October 23, 2012 by Knebby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knebby Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 My point was they didn't write any of them in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckenbauer 6 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 1 - Black Mountain Side 2 - Living Loving Maid 3 - Hats Off to Roy Harper PG - Trampled Underfoot (I will probably be shunned for this, but I have never liked this song), Sick Again Of those songs, I'd say 'Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)' is the weakest, but the rest are great! 'Sick Again' is one of my absolute favourites, not just from that album, but of all the band's stuff. When Bonzo's drums really kick in and it goes from being just another rock song to being a real ballbreaker Baoum-BaoumBaoum-Baoum-Baaoouumm! Durdldld, Durdldld, Durdldld, Durdldld... I just love everything about that song. The intro, the solo, the sound, the vocals, the production, the structure, the ending. All brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In The Evening is a classic, as are all Led Zeppelin songs. I always thought that 80s music was synthesisers, Just take a listen to McCartneyII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that 80s music was synthesisers, Just take a listen to McCartneyII I thought 'In the Evening' should've been played at the Ahmet Ertegün Tribute. Not only is it fantastic, but Robert's vocal style at the show really suited that song, and it would've been great for them to do something from that album And I'm sure the slowed-down guitar solo section of 'In the Evening' is DEFINITELY Dave Gilmour!

Top Notch Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Never liked All of My Love or Kashmire. Kashmire is not awful, maybe it just got played too much while I was growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckenbauer 6 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Since you used such emphatic declarative words, you must have some documentation, some proof of fact? Nah, nothing like that. Just years of listening to Pink Floyd. Maybe I got kinda carried away But seriously, the solo in 'In the Evening' is one of my all-time Page favourites. I really like that whole album, even 'Carouselambra' and 'Hot Dog', which seem to have been singled out as low-points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgerbracht Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I've never really liked Black Dog. After seeing Celebration Day I've got a new appreciation for Trampled Underfoot and In My Time of Dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Trampled Underfoot was waaaay under represented in the bootlegs, in Celebration Day it is a classic- many, many LZ intangibles across the board in this performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is about 'Hot Dog' people don't like? It's fun, energetic, got good guitar playing, has a sense of humour about it... And is that a honky-tonk piano in there, too? And the solo in ‘D'yer Mak'er’ is great, with a really good beat from Bonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Everybody Hate Hot Dog, It's such a fun song, with good musicality from the four members of the band, D'yer Mak'er is perhaps a bit too Un-Zeppelin, but it's still a fine 70s Rock Song, better than Most of the Stuff out there now. Carouselambra is an Epic, as you all know that ALS is a showcase of Jimmy's skills, Carouselambra is the same for Jonesy. it's Monstrous and powerful, and those Lyrics are Epic, the Guitar Is Epic, and The Synthesizers are Super Epic. the Fact that it's that under-appreciated reminds me of how under-appreciated Jonesy is. You don't have to love it, but you must Respect it, and the same for Every Zeppelin song. Edited October 30, 2012 by tazulike88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesZoSo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hats off to Roy Harper The Crunge Fool in the Rain Wearing and Tearing A lot of people are saying Out on the Tiles, lol it's one of my favourites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 A lot of people are saying Out on the Tiles, lol it's one of my favourites Out on the Tiles is THE LZ song most unlike the others and I love it. The production, the tone, the pace- everything including its placement on the LP is stand alone to me. I always wondered if it was already done for LZII and just didn't fit or wasn't laid down. The tone of the individual instruments are instantly recognizable to that particular song. JamesZoSo you have excellent taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is that a honky-tonk piano in there, too? And the solo in ‘D'yer Mak'er’ is great, with a really good beat from Bonzo I'm with you, Beckenbauer. Everybody else may hate "Hot Dog" but not I...I love it's country-honky-tonk flavour and its humour and sense of fun. From the moment I first heard it a couple days before ITTOD release, "Hot Dog" was a favourite of mine. "D'yer Mak'er" is not one of my faves from HotH...but I don't dislike it. I just find it lyrically weak. I love Bonzo's drumming and Jonesey's bass and piano the best on this song. I never skip it, though, as I find it a nice bridge from "Dancing Days" to "No Quarter". Out on the Tiles is THE LZ song most unlike the others and I love it. The production, the tone, the pace- everything including its placement on the LP is stand alone to me. I always wondered if it was already done for LZII and just didn't fit or wasn't laid down. The tone of the individual instruments are instantly recognizable to that particular song. Absolutely..."Out on the Tiles" has long been one of my faves. How can you not like a song with a riff in F? But I have to disagree that this was a song left off from Led Zeppelin II. Everything about its sound...the drums and the guitar tones particularly...says this was recorded for Led Zeppelin III. It has a similar sonic imprint to "Immigrant Song" and "Celebration Day".
