McSeven Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Both were considered the fifth member of The Beatles/Led Zeppelin. Which band went to greater fortune between the two. Could we play with History. If GM hooked up with Zep I wonder how they would sound. What about PG managing Zep. I know both GM and PG did different things with their groups.

SteveAJones Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 It's an apples to oranges comparison. George Martin was many things but he wasn't The Beatles manager. Peter Grant was many things but he was not Led Zeppelin's producer, arranger, composer, conductor or audio engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler19 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The Beatles could have used a Peter Grant and most likely would have lasted as a band a bit longer. Led Zeppelin had no need for a George Martin but were very smart to use the John brothers in a lessor capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 As Mr Jones put it.. apples and oranges If you’re talking most valuable as a “fifth member” musically, It’s Sir George Martin without question. Peter Grant had a hands off aproach towards the music. He had complete faith in the band, especially Jimmy to deliver the goods musically. Brian Epstein to Peter Grant would be a better comparison. They were both exceptional Managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
