No1ZeppelinFan Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Really peeves me off that people refer to Zeppelin as "Heavy Metal" or "Metal" they are NOT, They are a Rock band, Even Plant himself hates them being refered to as this. Come on who's backing me up here? Quote

Evster2012 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I think pretty much we all do back you up. Metal? Advantage Sabbath. Zeppelin were heavy, but never metal. As I said in a similar thread, I think "Metal" began in truth the day Rob Halford went into his first S&M shop. Saxon. Tygers of Pantang.. Yeah, Metal started with Sabbath. Anyone who says different has their dates crossed. Metal ain't about William Burroughs. It ain't about Steppenwolf or Blue Cheer. It's about Metal. And Diamondhead and Mercyful Fate. Not Def Leppard.] Zeppelin Metal? NEVER. Just the heaviest non-metal band ever! Metal bands wish they could be as heavy as Zeppelin. Quote
Reggie29 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 They're not Metal, just LOUD and POWERFUL folk singers! What we need is a new publication: Led Zeppelin for DUMMIES! Quote

Evster2012 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Ahhh Diamond Head. Sean Harris always wanted to be Percy though. "Wanted to be" would be the operative term! I should go to bed Whyalla. It's almost dawn! Love you mate, but if Angi wakes up and sees me still on the computer at 5 in the morning...Well, you know! "Up all night???" Cheers! Quote

I could go over the other bits and refine it... Oh, hi honey. No just posting. You know. Bed? Yeah, I guess so. I am kinda sleepy. Now I'm in trouble. Dammit Whyalla! Quote

Rorer714 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Playboy refers to them as "electric acid rock" in their review of LZ I. I remember teachers saying that we shouldn't be listening to that "acid rock".lol. Quote

I am a big music fan and own thousands of albums, from every genre and Led Zeppelin WERE NOT metal. In my opinion, it is hard to class them as they have a wide spectrum of songs styles (just take Hot Dog for example). I feel they are in a class of their own. If I were to class them in general terms, it would be in the Rock/Blues category. Quote

SuperSlinky Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Ok Guys first post in this forum, but I've been a Zep fan since I was 15 and that was in the 70's - nuff said on that. Led Zep are a rock band, they are a blues band, they are a folk band; they are not, never were and never will be a metal band - period! Quote
