daviebhoy Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Ok,you have a choice of TWO Zep songs to be played at your funeral,1 for the coffin to be brought in and 1 for the coffin to be taken out to.They can be any song but no one can choose Stairway or they will be banished to Mordor for evermore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I'll start: 1. Celebration Day 2. Dancing Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATHER OF THE 4 WINDS Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 GOT TO BE " IN MY TIME OF DYING" UPON ENTRY. THAT'S A NO BRAINER! AND THEN " ACHILLES LAST STAND" FOR THE EXIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leandar Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I have no idea what I would pick for that, but I have heard Stairway to Heaven at a graveside after a funeral and believe me, you do that, you'll never hear it quite the same way again.

zepyep Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi all, I'm being cremated also,but I'm having an Irish wake,with wall to wall Zep,too much Guiness and Jameson's! "The Song Remains the Same" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissandra Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Such disdain for a thread that not only has been done before, but was both successful and, as I recall, without complaints . As I've said before, I wouldn't want any song played at my funeral that is by a popular band such as Led Zeppelin if only because it would probably ruin the song for the people attending. It would also seem like a mockery of my life and/or death and I wouldn't want that either. I've also said before that 'In My Time Of Dying' is a great choice albeit a tad creepy because it's both eerie and about dying/death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've already got "Forever Autumn" and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" requested in my living will but will amend it to add "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Since I've Been Loving You" also. Take out all the BS eulogizing and just play my entire CD collection, that's how I'd like it. Nah, I don't care what they play at my funeral. I'll already be at that great gig in the sky, getting my own private concert, so the ones left on earth can play "Bennie & the Jets" for all I care.

boggedmaffus Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 it's gotta be "your time is gonna come"... got some great lyrics if you're deceased and it's absolutely doused in organ so you could have it played live in a church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Don't want to be too morbid but, because I have lost dear friends who were in their 30's and 40's, I have actually thought about this. For my cremation and launch down the Ganges, the music will be traditional Indian funeral dirges. Don't know where I will be but for the memorial back at the hacienda, Zep music will blast over the hills and far away (WWL, Nobody's Fault but Mine, Black Dog, Rock and Roll, Trampled under Foot, etc.) - no somber stuff. Pipes, bongs, bowls, and chillums will be passed around. Someone will read aloud my funniest and best Zep adventures (the ones that I can't share here). I want it to be a "Celebration Day" of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XX Ten Years Gone is beautiful but so sad it makes me cry even when no funeral is involved. Err.. uhh... can I come too? Sounds like a blast. I mean, long past all of us reaching ridiculous ages, of course. I'll be wheeled around by my hot young male nurse, and will have the good grace to pass away directly afterward. This is so strange, because I was recently listening to "Ten Years Gone" and actually thought if you wanted to slay everyone at your funeral, you could do worse. "Your Long Journey" from Raising Sand would also be really cathartic. For sure, you could forever alter "Stairway to Heaven" for people, too. But you've got the right idea - the Zeppelin would be for the after-party & life celebration. For the service, it would be "Alloway Grove" from Paolo Nutini before a few kind words are spoken, then U2's "One Tree Hill" after my ashes are tossed in the Merced river at the Devil's Elbow, below El Capitan in Yosemite valley. (Then, as an evil co-worker once pointed out, my remains would gently float into a water treatment plant in Merced...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine -- actually I drink only on rare, special ocassions. The last time was when Zep released the DVD set in '03, I bought a fifth of Jack Daniels to celebrate. Still have half & will drink that on Dec. 10th. You think it will still be good??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle of Los Angeles CA Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 For my cremation and launch down the Ganges, the music will be traditional Indian funeral dirges. HOLY CRACK OF DAWN. While we happy people are talking about a happy Pre-02 Concert Party - you guys are talking about dirges. I hope we're not going to do a suicide-watch here. WHERE'S THE AMBULANCE?
