Stormpilot Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 At 19:44 of this track Jimmy breaks into a ominous lick that sounds a bit like Holst (Mars I think although Saturn would be more apropo) but maybe this riff is from some other unrecorded song? Just as quickly as it starts it ends (about 20:20) and that is it...over. It has a Sabbath sound a bit too dark for Zep but wondered if anyone knew anything about this riff. I like it and have started imagining a Zep song that would go with it......it sounds amazing by the way And sorry if there is a 50 page thread somewhere on the forums about this already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringwraith Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Are you talking abou the violin bow bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Are you talking abou the violin bow bit? Would be a good idea to have a listen seeing as their is a time reference in the post... No, it's after the violin solo, when the band comes back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Actually, you were on the right track. It's a snippet of Holst's "Mars, the Bringer Of War". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's either March 13th or the 16th (I believe it was on the second disc of Hampton Kicks) but man do they have a Black Sabbath sound in that one! Heavy and Dark! (if I would have played a few minutes of this track after the bow solo. you would think it was Sabbath).... it just goes to show how many ways Zeppelin could have went with thier music.
