Strider Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Led Zeppelin has nothing to do with that image, nor is that image linked to the song "Stairway to Heaven" in any official capacity. It looks like one of those treacly pieces by Thomas Kincaide, an artist Led Zeppelin had nothing to do with. That piece was created long after "Stairway" came out, and if the artist titled it "Stairway to Heaven" that was his own doing and in no way makes it the official image of the song. Personally, the image I connect with the song "Stairway to Heaven" is the inside artwork of Led Zeppelin IV when you open the double-gated cover.

Pb! Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 There actually is a Stairway to Heaven album... And a bootleg (this is the most appropriate version for this thread): It was also issued as a 12" single in Brazil in 1988: The promo sleeve is kind of bland; the back has a b&w pic of the 4th LP: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc88 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 But the first image is a Russian version? Or not? So..the autentic image asociated to the band at this song is only this http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/78946605/Led+Zeppelin+IV++PNG.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Dirigible Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 But the first image is a Russian version? Or not? So..the autentic image asociated to the band at this song is only this http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/78946605/Led+Zeppelin+IV++PNG.png Google "Led Zeppelin IV the Hermit". It is a painting from inside the gatefold of Led Zeppelin IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb! Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I would say the only 'authentic' image is in the listener's mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but is normal that the listener's mind connect the song at external influence... Listening this song always on youtube, I m sure that many person connect this song at the image that i posted.. But listening the song in the complet album is also posible that the cover image and the eremith, becomes "the image"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
