hyrule Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Carouselambra. When I voted here years ago that is was my favorite Zeppelin tune, I was amongst two other people who agreed. I think that's funny, last place for my tastes. But, then of couse, I like Ode to Roy Harper, and can even enjoy Living Loving Maid if the mood is right.

Gibson420 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I like to jam to "That's the Way", "The Ocean", "Stairway to Heaven", "Babe I'm gonna leave you" and Rock and Roll. I'm working on "The Rain Song". Haven't gotten that one yet. I love the rain song im working on the live version with the EADADE tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 My band opens with Immigrant Song with the extended guitar solo like on HTWWW. I'm not much for it in rehearsals, but when we launch the set with it live, it just gets me right into the zone! We end it and it's like "That's right! Have some of that, bitches! IN YOUR FACE!!". Hell yeah! I also love that The Rain Song is in our set. My bassist/keyboardist has mastered the string parts and it just sounds so beautiful! He hits those improvs from TSRTS and it's like "Yeahhhhh, that's the shit right there, bro!" When I'm practicing by myself, I love jamming on the "Boogie Mama" rockabilly solo from WLL on TSRTS soundtrack. Jimmy's just so...on! I've been using that in my practice routine for 30 years and it's always fun! Oh, and Stairway from TSRTS soundtrack. I know every little note and nuance. Hell, I even play the notes Jimmy messed up, lol! Authenticity man! Oh and the No Quarter solo from TSRTS. Aw heck, TSRTS was the soundtrack of my teens. At one point I could play every note of every song, even the bow solo. Nothing made me happier! I'm a little rusty nowadays though. Maybe I should revisit!

That rockabilly solo always was my favorite, too. I can play some of it, not all. Gets a little tricky for me, still it is a blast to play. I thought I was the real deal when I could play Celebration Day of TSRTS. Looking back, its not that hard. Oh well. The solo from NQ on same is unreal, never could get that down. Sounds like a man possessed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yucko Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This is for all the music players out here. What is your favorite song to jam on? Either alone or with your band. What is your instrument? Any particular reason for the favoriteness?? My particular favorite is: Alone--Ten years Gone, With Band---WLL. Reason? TYG sounds great alone, WLL sounds great with a band. Also, they cover any drunken mistakes I may make!! Not that I make any mistakes..... me and my band enjoy fucking around with Moby Dick(riff section only) as a warmup at practice, and played it once(drunkenly) as an intro to a song at a show once...lol, didnt go over well when the following song was an original. When practicing guitar in the privacy of my living room latley, it's been the begining and ending coda of ALS. For Your Life is also fun to jam along with...

Footsteps of Dawn Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I just love busting out WLL! It sounds totally badass without being too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estofest Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I don't have a band, just myself, an acoustic and an electric. I like playing Misty Mountain Hop, Over the Hills and Far Away, Kashmir and especially That's the Way and Friends. I know a fair amount of Zep tunes but am trying to work on the solos of my favourites. On the electric I love to play Nobody's Fault But Mine and Bring it on Home. I'm also trying to learn Shake My Tree. I kind of like that little riff in that tune. Stairway is an obligatory one but not like I've seen posted by one individual here. While this thing is rolling on, can anyone please tell me what the tuning is for Poor Tom? Is it the same as Friends? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphonictank Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 6 & 12 string guitar. I've worked out versions of most of the zep tunes I play to accomodate whichever git I'm on and whether or not I'm playing electric or acoustic. Lately, I've been using The Ocean for warming up, and it just never seems to get old for me. It's a fun song to play, and just challenging enough to get a good warm-up. Favs: Achilles Last Stand TSRTS Stairway TSRTS No Quarter Good Times, Bad Times Nobody's Fault but Mine Ramble On OTHAFA HTWWW opening version Bon-yaur stomp (in standard tuning believe it or not) At any given time there's 5-10 zep songs in setlist. Varies depending on venue/audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo4Eva Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 My favorites are (on drums): Rock And Roll The Ocean D'yer Mak'er Dazed And Confused When The Levee Breaks Achilles Last Stand Fool In The Rain Bonzo was a master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I close each of my concerts with "Thank You". I've done medleys: Including (TSRTS, That's The Way, OTHAFA, IMTOD and on a rare occasion, Kashmir, AML or RNR). The first band I was in (back 20+ years ago), we did The Ocean, RNR and The Immigrant Song. R www.myspace.com/reidstevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estofest Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Midnight Rambler by the Stones. I play guitar and this song goes someplace. It's not just a spin around the block like a short song would be. It has all those different parts. It's a great warm-up song. I wish the Stones would try opening their shows with it. That would be interesting. They could come out casually, Mick do his little warm-up on the harp, "Well I'm a talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler, everybody got to go". And then Keith hits it. It would be great! I can even do this song without the capo. It's just a little more stretching. I agree, this is a fantastic tune. I think I prefer it to Can't You Hear Me Knocking. What fret is the capo on usually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoss Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The Song I love to play on guitar (and quite poorly on drums) is The Rover. I've been returning to that song for 10 years at least. I can nail the solo (on a good day), the lead fills, the rythmn guitar, but I cannot get the main riff going on. That riff is Jimmy's ultimate cocksure swaggering riff. It grinds up againt Bonhams drum on the backbeat - its almost obscene. I know the notes, but I cannot capture the sleazy swagger. Man I love that song! Getting that riff down is my holy grail.

progfan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm a guitarist! I love to play Kashmir on my guitar! I like to sing "The Lemon Song", although I never got to do it with a band, only at karaoke. Now that I'm getting into Anglo-Saxon and Norse culture, however, I'm enjoying singing "The Immigrant Song" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
