mos6507 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Too mellow for me, to be honest. Defanged. Kind of like what Unledded did with Nobody's Fault but Mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I think so what they should have done is when it came to the oh baby, oh baby oh baby part just explode and play it like Zeppelin.

Robert doesn't want to play the songs as they were. He's into rearranging them to fit the style of what he's doing at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Robert can't be accused of capitalising off Zep. At best an interesting arrangement. At worst mildly amusing. Personally, I prefer ROCK banjo myself!

snapper Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Black Dog turned into a shuffle? reminds me of when Clapton played Layla as a shuffle. They seem to be enjoying themselves, but I sure ain't, can't stand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'd really like it, if that's the way it was written to sound. While it does sound good, Black Dog just isn't made to sound like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RP/AK approach seems to be to remove most of the dynamics of the Zep songs and keep it low key throughout. Kind of like what you might expect to hear playing in a Starbucks.

pop Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Seeing Alison in that song is the sexiest thing I've seen in a long time. Yowsa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliet Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi: I don't like the version but I like Alison's outfit... J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 She does have gorgeous clothes, all soft, flowy type things. Very pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIBLY Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I've seen them live now and I really enjoying it but the LZ songs aren't the high points of the show in my opinion. I thought that When The Levee Breaks, Black Country Woman & The Battle Of Evermore work OK because the originals have their roots in the blues and country. But, Black Dog is a highly charged sexy rock song it aint a banjo shuffle. The words just seem wrong sung by a demure female country singer. The contradiction of Alison singing songs written from the male perspective seemed stranger live than it does on the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
