joeboy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 My theory is the tight pants helped him hit the high notes from 1968 to 1972. Constant pressure in the lower regions helps in this regard. Starting in Japan 1972 this trick didn't work as well and Robert had to throw everything at the problem. Vocal cord nodules began to appear in early 1973 due to the abuse of screaming during concerts. These nodule obstructions cause hoaresness and problems in vocal range.

ledzepfilm Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 No, his voice was just powerful. Then after constant overuse/the flu, it started to become damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Dirigible Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 So if I wear tight pants I can hit high notes like Robert Plant? Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick2632 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Funny coincidence you mention Japan '72 as I'm listening to Thank You live at Nagoya 10/5/72 even though the sound quality isn't great his voice sounds flawless here, not as high as before (as you said) but more perfect IMO. But no idea if caused from tight pants, I think that's just in cartoons when someone puts on tight clothes and talk all squeaky haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantpothead Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wore tight pants in the 70s, and I can't sing like Percy. I want my money back!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy_girl Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I don't wanna be disrespectful or anything but come on..... tight pants??? No, I don't think that's the real reason for his voice back in the 70's. I think it's just practice and a natural talent. Or, as someone has said before, if I wore tight pants I could sing like him? Really? That's cheap, I mean a pair of tight jeans is how much? maybe a few dollars? If they'd make me sing like Robert, I'd like to buy the whole store:))) Unfortunately, the "recipe" for that kind of singing is not at all that easy to get... otherwise we would all be Plant(s)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeboy Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I was at a baseball game when I was young and my pelvic region unfortunately simulated a catchers mitt. I was in a daze but once I recovered my voice sounded like my fair lady. Everyone was laughing but my theory about pressure on this tender region was proven. All I needed to do was develope my songwriting skills and Bob was my uncle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Robert just had a naturally high singing voice. Nothing to do with his pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
