SteveAJones Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 The guy was commenting about concert he did not even attend-that is type of audience he was writing for. Similar, to someone who judges a book without reading it Your alright euro. Your no dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 This is my reply that I posted verbatim: You're a bloody idiot. If Led Zeppelin is so terrible live, what do they STILL have a massive following after 39 freakin' YEARS??? And why are they the most bootlegged band of all time? Please don't tell me it's because we're all masochists. It's because Zeppelin are the BEST, most entertaining band of all time. And each show is different, unlike the phlegm you most likely listen to. My bet is you're Britney Spears' manager on the side. You ought to take up another hobby, such as horticulture. Music is not your strong point, pal. Steve Wright Bend, Oregon JPRPFAN58@aol.com And yes,I have the stugots to say who I am. Feces head. Fuck that asshole.

lemonsqueeze Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Led Zeppelin Reunion Posted On Web; Who Should We Sue? Posted by Alexander Wolfe, Dec 12, 2007 09:40 AM » E-Mail » http://informationweek.com/blog/main/archi...eppelin_re.html The litigious environment surrounding alleged copyright violation has spun completely out of control. The latest from the RIAA is that you're a criminal if you rip your own CDs. Porn producers are suing YouTube knockoffs for illegally posting their copyrighted, X-rated content. And now, clips from Led Zeppelin's London reunion show are popping up on the Web. I mention the Zep postings (see the two embedded YouTube clips below) because they highlight the inability of any content creator to successfully enforce their copyrights. True, the clips are of poor quality, as are the performances, as best as I can tell. But that was always Zeppelin's problem; they were a terrible live band, as their boring movie, "The Song Remains The Same" showcases for all to see. And I say that as a person who likes their records, and listens to them far more than I care to admit (discs one through five, anyway.) But enough with the critical musings. My point is that intellectual-property rights are the Internet's elephant in the room. No one has figured out a way to successfully enforce what are essentially a content owner's property rights. This is fascinating, because property rights are pretty much the basis of Western society. Add on top of that the big paradox that the Web's biggest winners are those who've figured out how to game the intellectual-property system -- by aggregating or "excerpting" content created by others, and making money off of it via ads -- and you've got the upside-down online universe we're all living in today. As a content creator myself, I support IP rights. Just because the RIAA comes across like the Big Bad Wolf in its ham-fisted efforts to prevent copyright abuse doesn't mean it's not in the right. True, the record industry would be more effective in its fight if it did a better job of picking its battle. Trust me, kids are not dissuaded from using LimeWire because the RIAA won $220,000 from some Minnesota mom. On the other hand, I have no idea how they're supposed to preserve a dying industry. Heck, my industry is in the midst of its own troubles, what with unpaid writers edging out folks who do this stuff for a living. And that's just for starters. Despite the lack of clarity on where we're headed, I think we've at least reached the point where we can retire the simplistic argument that's been the mantra for the anti-IP crowd for the last decade. Namely, the Web wants to be free and content creators should all just get over it. No, thank you; I prefer to remain steamed. Fortunately for Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, they've got enough money that a little illicit posting isn't a problem. Here now are the clips; see if they don't leave you underwhelmed Underwhelmed? I have been waiting for 27 years for an event like this! The clips on the net were taken by members of the audience with camcorders for cryin' out loud! Even so, I am so very thankful to those who submitted! And to say that Zep was never a strong live band, are you serious?! That is what made them who they were and still are. For 12 years those guys toured rather heavily, and completely satisfied and left the crowds in awe... Gotta admit that we wouldn't even be discussing them after a 27 year hiatus if they hadn't left a deep impression on the world. I would also like to add how incredibly proud I am of Jason for having the balls (and talent!) to fill in for the world's greatest drummer. Can you imagine how he must have felt? Very good, I hope... Well done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Action Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thank You! I could have gone without the "feces head" comment. I really wanted to say "shithead", but they have censors. I made my point as it was. Oh well....I was pissed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phhhl Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I was trying to think of an example of one audience that may share his opinion, and making the statement that he was catering to that opinion. Perhaps I failed in your case? What a load of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarmy Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 What a load of crap. you're no better than the writer who doesn't back up his opinion on Led Zeppelin. you didn't explain why it was a load of crap. I'm interested to see why my being honest about my thoughts and actions appeared as a load of crap to you. If you won't believe me anyways, then don't bother responding.

Aligula Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Its's crap because your statement is entirely ridiculous and based on nothing whatsoever. You yourself put forward no evidence to support your massive generalisation. I myself (and all the other Zeppelin fans I know) love Floyd too. That doesn't mean all people like both bands but I'm not quite sure what made you think that most people don't... The pot will call the kettle black. It's a drunken punchup on a website.

The Rover Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I say ... Who cares about Negative reviews..... We all know it was great show..... Why bother even repeating shithead remarks ?? I mean... what is the good of repeating shit ? ? ? ? Who needs this thread anyways ? ? ? ? ? ? Please, every time someone, somewhere wants to cast a Negative light on Zeppelin.... Does it bear repeating ? ? ? ? ? I want to discuss the Good things about Led Zeppelin ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're seriously putting words in my mouth. If you're going to call me out on something then don't get the facts wrong. I never said "most Led Zeppelin fans don't like Pink Floyd". You basically accused me of making this generalization in your post. Don't bother responding if you're not going to answer for your mistake. I already have answered for mine, and it's more than what a lot of cowards would do on the internet. Did you read these?: ok maybe I should have said "what audience is he writing for? the "anti-Led Zeppelin group"? but you see, that's too general and it's not funny anymore. but it illustrates my point a little better in case you didn't get it. You may be on to something because I certainly don't like Pink Floyd. It looks like I made the mistake of assuming there were members of the Pink Floyd community that felt the same way. I'm sorry about that. If you'll read my post above, you'll see my intended meaning. What more do you need? It's unfortunate that I live in a world where I'm always honest with people about why I say the things I say, and they don't believe me. It's ironic that I tell the truth and they assume I try to cover up my opinion. I layed it all out there for you (and whoever else) to understand and you have missed all understanding completely.
