LedZeppfan77 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) I think some people who are saying the feature should have had more of this, or more of that, forget that this was broadcast on the CBS Sunday Morning new show. As such, its target audience is very broad, and most of the viewers have minimal familiarity with LedZep. Same logic applies to the Letterman interview. I know the Zep diehards here wanted a 45 minute piece with nothing but hard-hitting questions to Jimmy, Robert & JPJ, but that probably wasn't what the production crew was looking to do (in either case). Your point is well made and true. The audience is not an audience that would know them that well, except for die hards like us that knew it would be on. I assure you there are ten times as many Zepp fans out there that had no clue it was on. Letterman however is a shit. I myself only caught the end of it as my wife was watching it. I had no idea it was to be on. Edited December 19, 2012 by LedZeppfan77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't know if they would have been open to this line of questioning, but I would ask their impressions/thoughts about current rock music, the music business today, etc. I wonder what Jimmy the producer thinks of the rampant (and painful) use of autotune. Just in the past week I've read articles in The Guardian and The New York Post trying to address the continuing popularity of so-called "classic rock." http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2012/dec/18/trends-2012-classic-rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJ said that most modern bands out there are very song-based, with Plant adding that he loves Mumford & Sons.

FireOpal Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Song-based, that's an interesting observation. Was he contrasting that with Zeppelin's approach, and how did he characterize the Zep way? Riff-based? No. Maybe longer-form music, with movements and more dynamics, like classical music.

FireOpal Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Beautiful. Thank you! Silently musing: Robert could do a duet with Mumford & Sons entitled "Whole Lotta Banjo" Edited December 20, 2012 by FireOpal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
