Superhype Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yea, check out AdAge.com for the references in the video. Right before he walks behind that girl with the "Runes" tattoed on her back, you can see them on display in the front window of the tattoo shop (might have to rewind and pause the video to see it). Awesome!!! Does anyone know how we can download that video, or convert it to youtube??? I know it's only a matter of time it will probably be on there one way or another. Thanks!

Daniel Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 That thing got me reminissing about the 70s. The girl with the symbols instantly reminded me of a cool chick that I met and knew for a day or so but she had her tatoos strategically placed elsewhere -- my god, I do miss the free and easy 70s! It was a different World back then, sex couldn't become a death sentence like today. I also related a lot to the kid almost getting run over because that happened to me so many times when I was going to and from the Open School in downtown St. Paul. Stoned out of my mind listening to LZ full blast on my Walkman, I must have nearly got nailed, well I don't know but a lot of times. I think I may have burned too many brain cells back in the 70s because the only thing I really caught was how irritating it was that the camera man and the kid were both looking into the sun just as RP was singing "O let the sun beat down upon my face" but then a minute or two later I realised what had happened, some of that fancy newfangled sublimo text messaging like when you play stuff backwards. After re-watching the clip it is no big surprise that his telephone/walkman thingy's screen reads: "Led Zeppelin" "Kashmir" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Is there a violin bow in the window that the doubleneck is in? I don't remember ever seeing JP play the doubleneck with a bow but I obviously have not seen all pictures/concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the vid was larger and clearer. My eyes aren't what they used to be. in addition to the gibson double neck in the shop window is also a bow and some amps. I seen Robert Plants feather symbol in the tat shops window I can also make out a moon, a flying dove, a dragon, bonzo's symbol, a dream catcher...I'm sure some of those don't apply. I didn't see Jonsey's symbol in the window though. The tat girl...she has something on the back of her right arm. I can't make it out...it's probably nothing related. At the 6 second mark is a man standing in the middle of the crosswalk. weird. Swansong at the 9 second mark Stickman at 16 The obvious: The Physical Graffiti building I think I am missing one.

tyedye Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Do I smell sell out for a future tour? Unbelieveable. Why do you consider it a sell out? I think a lot of us would almost sell our first born child for a Zep reunion tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunray782 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Can anyone can work out the significance of the taxi driver nearly running over the main character? Nevermind! I think I know!!!!! Could it be that he's so into the music he didn't notice the taxi? I think it's in poor taste if it was meant to be about Plant's car accident.

LZ77 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 cool commercial..... looks exactly like the video for "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve that came out in 1997-98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyedye Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Can someone make out what the graffiti says that is on the metal at the 9 second mark? The red poster there does kind of look like the Hermit at 9 seconds but look more like a lady with a red dress with a white thing blocking her eyes at 10. Who is the dude standing in the middle of the crosswalk at 6-7 seconds and why is he just standing there? He is to the left under the stoplight. Is there a zeppelin anywhere in the clip? Ugh. Does someone have a link to a larger and clearer video clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evster2012 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Do I smell sell out for a future tour? I'm not saying it isn't a possiblilty. I've heard some things. But I wouldn't consider this a sign. The Cadillac campaign using Rock and Roll didn't mean a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
