[2009.10.01] Live review: Them Crooked Vultures ACL taping

01 Oct 2009 06:00:00 PDT

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).

Opinion: LED ZEPPELIN - Led Zeppelin (1969)

01 Aug 2009 13:52:11 PDT

To me, this album represents everything i love in music. Absolutley mindblowing vocals and screams by Robert Plant, fantastic axe work by Jimmy Page, great bass playing by John Paul Jones and mad drumming by Bonham. 5 Stars, one of my favourites. More about LED ZEPPELIN at Progarchives.com

It's also their worst having something in common with Houses Of The Holy 6 years previously. Not that it sound...

3.5 stars reallyI was in high school when I heard this record for the first time. I enjoyed Black Dog but my favorite song was Stairway To Heaven. I have to say one thing in here. I usually don't pay attention to what others call a classic and the best. But this time I must admit Stariway To Heaven is de...

Opinion: LED ZEPPELIN - Led Zeppelin IV (1971)

28 Apr 2009 03:48:28 PDT

Starting off with a grimy hard rock tune is tolerable when it is so good. Oh, yeah, this is a pretty popular album, too! Go figure.And indeed, keeping with the tradition, Black Dog storms the gates, and kicks serious portions of ass. That riff is superb, and the whole song is a classic. Oh, if only...

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is Led Zeppelin does dueling banjos. It starts off soft and works its way slowly faster and harder until it turns into a good foot stomping tune, with those old time vocals. Not too impressive, but a dab of fun on a rather stuffy album. Sparse and shallow, but fun. Hats of To (Roy)...

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...

More pretty acoustic work from Black Mountain Slide, acting as almost an introduction of sorts to their very well known punching song Communication Breakdown. This doesn't do it for me, the vocals are great, and it kicks some tail, but not as much as the opening song. Still solid, and that so...

Aha! Bass guitar! I am John Paul Jones! I appear to have lost the 20-year friendship of Jimmy Page (how dare I try and write a better book than the bog-awful Hammer Of The Gods), Robert Plant (he'll change his mind when he sees it) and related friends. (Mick Wall's blog.)

“The Immigrant Song” was typically how Led Zeppelin opened their concerts but, technically, it was not how they started their show. First came the anticipatory drone of all these speakers against a blackened stage -you know, to set the stage. It could last for 2 minutes. And then, Boom! The c...

Led Zeppelin - The Ride Review @ Hard Rock Park

26 Jun 2008 04:13:38 PDT

Written by The Coaster Critic(noreply@blogger.com)
Led Zeppelin: The Ride is the headliner in Hard Rock Park's ride lineup. Creating a great new rock-themed park is a draw, but nothing catches the eye of would-be visitors like a flashy new looping roller coaster. To that end, Led Zeppelin delivers a thrilling roller coaster that does an exce...

17 Dec 2007 06:00:00 PST

Each of the ride's three trains has a built-in, 64-speaker, 1,200-watt sound system. While the ride itself only lasts 90 seconds, the "Led Zeppelin - The Ride" experience lasts the entire 5½ minutes of the band's 1969 hit song "Whole Lotta Love."

It’s been over 20 years since mega-producer Frank Farian’s rock lab experiment Far Corporation had their wretched claim to 15 minutes of fame – a cover of Led Zeppelin’s classic “Stairway to Heaven.” With a roster that featured members of the band Toto, few paid any credence to the act and f...

The band consists of Brigantino, drummer Helen Destroy, guitarist Steph Paynes, and singer Sarah McLellan. McLellan's got that Ann Wilson-style high belt that a female singer who wants to channel Robert Plant needs, and the band crunches out the hard rock riffage with the best of them. No...

Loudlife's press release and artist bio mentions a "Soundgarden meets Led Zeppelin" sound. As a huge fan of both, I couldn't let such bold claims go untested. After several listens to their self-titled debut album I'd say it's an accurate claim, but that Loudlife aren't yet at the lofty hei...

It was quite puzzling how really accurate they were. I have seen Jimmy Page play, and few on earth can compare. Their guitar player can compare, and I fully understand the weight behind a comment like that. I honestly felt how it must have been to see Zeppelin in a bar. Not the biggest band in the wo...
