hecube Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Did Robert Plant snort on stage? For those who think I'm crazy, listen carefully to the studio recording... Edited October 23, 2012 by hecube Quote
sickagain98 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I was looking for that as well. Didn't hear it, though. Quote
Lambeau Leap Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 It was Robert's favorite song of the night and mine too; simply a stunning version! Quote
Knebby Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Why are you quoting parts of people's posts in various threads with no further contribution? Quote
tazulike88 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 ^^ to increase his posts count, perhaps. For Your Life is Bloody amazing and the live version is definitely just as good, Only Missing the Vicious Snort. And I've always wondered, why did he snort in the first place ?? did the snort have any significance ?? Quote
magerogue Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 What snort?? what are you talking about? Quote
hot dog Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Well the song does reference cocaine. Also hence the 'white line' visuals at the O2 on the screen. Quote
hecube Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 What snort?? what are you talking about? Ha ha! I knew someone would not understand. Listen to the studio version of "For your life" in a good pair of headphones, at a healthy volume and report back... Quote
Dallas Knebs Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 dint hear a snort at the O2, reportedly there is a drool by Page during Kashmir tho Quote
tazulike88 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 dint hear a snort at the O2, reportedly there is a drool by Page during Kashmir tho Yeah, i've seen him drool a couple of times, why is that ?? i know he loves the instrument, but not to drool all over it. Quote
Knebby Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah, i've seen him drool a couple of times, why is that ?? i know he loves the instrument, but not to drool all over it. He's pretty much always done it - certainly very obviously in the last 30 years. It's because he is concentrating so hard, and so lost in the act that everything else becomes unimportant. Quote
Sagittarius Rising Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 In the studio version the snort follows the line, "On the balance of the crystal-paying through the nose." The song is a reference to the drug & groupie scene in music at the time, Robert even alludes to impotence caused by overuse of cocaine. Great song and lyrically impressive and very relevant for the time. You might call it a pre-rap version of White Lines. Quote

Well, some idiot actually said to me : "because of his drug addiction, he loses control of his saliva, and that's why his playing is shit." but don't worry, i gave this guy a handful and i always believed that because he was so into his playing, he just forgets about anything else in the world, although it's not a majestic sight, but i sure can respect it Quote
Dallas Knebs Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 second show at Knebworth he had stuff all over him it was tears, sweat and slobber and I don't know what else was pouring out of and off of him- all over the guitar, him and the stage. He even had goosebumps at one point during ALS. He was playing from a place with which I am not familiar. The bootlegs and even the DVDs do not do it justice. I have no idea about the diss about him playing sloppy, he brought emotion and power- speaking for myself technical precision is its own reward. Love watching the man in his element and in his band, nothing else is even close. He's pretty much always done it - certainly very obviously in the last 30 years.

Beckenbauer 6 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) I love this song, and the performance at the 02 was great. So glad they included it 'Presence' is certainly an undervalued album, it's got 3 of the best rock songs ever on it! (Tracks 1, 2, and 4) And the other tunes are pretty good, too Edited October 24, 2012 by Beckenbauer 6 Quote
