Led Zeppelin

By ryan Them Crooked Vultures is the new supergroup consisting of Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana (like you didn’t know that), Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and John Paul Jones.  Do I really even need to state where he’s from?  It’s John Paul Jones.  Alright, of Led Zeppelin.  I don’t t...

By going in such occult directions, Sabbath openly distanced themselves from the prevailing hippie culture and guess what? It was an instant success and it reshaped the history of rock, or at least a huge part of the rock culture. Every track on this album surges with power and pours out sin...

By FRX(noreply@blogger.com) My earliest memory of Led Zeppelin, though surely not my first encounter, takes place in the summer of 1994. I had just turned twelve years old and wouldn't go to my first concert until a few months later. Having grown up listening to classic rock radio, I was already familiar with the band's m...

By Steve Sauer(Steve@LedZeppelinNews.com) Rolling Stone, the chief magazine leading the pack of the music media's offenses against Led Zeppelin from 1969 onward, is now having to figure out how to deal with John Paul Jones in the digital age. But seriously, Sheffield can't keep his mind off Led Zeppelin in his review. Overwhelmingl...

By Steve Sauer(Steve@LedZeppelinNews.com) And there it was: Jones slips in that he won't be anticipating any future work with Led Zeppelin. The window of opportunity for that to happen has firmly shut, Jones affirms. There really is, as LedZeppelinNews.com anticipated not long ago, no reason to believe. Who's going to be at Glastonbu...

Review: Ladies and gentlemen, Them Crooked Vultures — the second-best band John Paul Jones has ever been in! The Led Zeppelin guys never made much of a splash in the supergroup scene, unless you're the kind of die-hard fan who still busts out those old records by the Honeydrippers or the Fi...

General Music News: Led Zeppelin's plan to find a replacement singer for Robert Plant "fell by the wayside".

By Rolling Stone Robert Plant is in talks to perform at Glastonbury. “There’s place for me there, but I have no idea who with,” he told the BBC, thereby igniting the hopes of thousands of Led Zeppelin fans itching for another reunion show. Jay-Z, the man who bragged he “made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yan...

By Steve Sauer(Steve@LedZeppelinNews.com) And that chump was whoever at Contactmusic.com Ltd. dreamed up the laughably naïve headline, "LED ZEPPELIN - LED ZEPPELIN SET FOR GLASTONBURY 2010?" If this really were the beginnings of a Led Zeppelin reunion, every indication is there would be no indication.

By J. Edward Keyes Hearing Pusha T and Malice repeat “What happened to that boy?” between Plant’s pained yowl is weirdly thrilling — like they’re egging him on. Unlike most rock/hip-hop mashups, all the rappers sound genuinely great on this, matching the original’s toughness note for sneering note.

Jones is an interesting case - he's the one member of Led Zeppelin who didn't make questionable career moves post-Zep by, for examples, dying tragically (John Bonham), playing in the Firm (Jimmy Page) or naming an album "Now & Zen" (Robert Plant).

By dolphinblog Playing: Yes- you may want to play like Jimmy Page. That’s cool. But he wasn’t the first nor the last to use a violin bow, so besides Jimmy Page, you may want to check 60’s freakbeat combo The Creation (Eddie Phillips was the first guitarist to use a violin bow) and Sigur Ros.

By HappyParts My good friend Jefferson Parker reminded me of Roy Harper’s legacy and his influence on Jimmy Page – after he listened to a new Graham Coxon tune.

The Lemon Song. Another metallic classic. the song thumps along without care for damage done. I am so damn tired of these brutally terrible lyrics, though. Although it grinds heavy, when it wants, and it always wants, baby. That solo is restrained and fine. Plant kind of screws it up for me, howev...

By ledzeppelinhistory-owner@yahoogroups.com (Steve Sauer) When Robert Plant shared in the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Led Zeppelin in 2005, he ignored the honor.
