Jarlaxle 56 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Here's something fun to try, listen to a song and then post the song and the first color that pops into your head when you hear that song. If there isn't a distinct color in your head just move on to a different song. Here are some that I did.... Lateralus- Tool (Green) Stadium Arcadium- RHCP (Yellow) Ride The Lightning- Metallica (Dark Blue) MFC- Pearl Jam (Dark Red) Try it out! I'm curious to see what you come up with for different songs.

Jarlaxle 56 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 What I find curious is that plain white pops into my head for a lot of Zeppelin songs, like Houses of The Holy and Stairway to Heaven.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The color I see tends to coincide with the color of the album cover. I actually read an interview with Jimmy Page where the guy told him about that theory, and said "for example, Houses Of The Holy is a very orange-sounding album to me. Does that make sense?" And Jimmy said, yes, that made sense to him. So I always think of songs on LZ IV as being grey, songs on Houses sounding Orange, LZ II as sounding brownish...

Joelmon Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 If you look at the thread starters list...there are several bands... Why do people seem to think it's Zep exclusive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosodude13 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) If you look at the thread starters list...there are several bands... Why do people seem to think it's Zep exclusive ? i think the jimmy quote about HOTH being "orange" got everyone going... but I'll talk other bands.. The Velvet Underground and Nico- Purple/Yellow In the Court of the Crimson King- I see it changing from Dark Red to light blue every other song 21st Century Schizoid Man- Dark Red I Talk to the Wind- Light/sky Blue Epitaph- Dark Red Moonchild- Light/sky Blue In the Court of the Crimson King- Dark Red Edited February 1, 2008 by zosodude13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Black Sabbath - Paranoid (shocking pink and BLACK) Deep Purple - Shades of DP (Purple!) these two bands, whatever the color of their cover albums are i still do think black and purple for them oh and Metallica (their self titled album) - BLACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
