Opinion: Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures

Written 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...

Opinion: Rolling Stone gives Them Crooked Vultures album 3.5 of 5 stars

11 Nov 2009 12:19:57 PST

Written 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...

Opinion: Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures

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...

Written by Daniel Kreps
Forty years ago today, Led Zeppelin released Led Zeppelin II just nine months after unleashing their historic debut. Produced by guitarist Jimmy Page, II laid the groundwork for heavy metal with its classic “Whole Lotta Love” and firmly established Zeppelin as one of the loudest and gre...

[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

Opinion: LED ZEPPELIN - D'yer Maker (1973)

20 Jul 2009 04:35:45 PDT

Over The Hills And Far Away' is also a great song, more loved than 'D'yer Maker' even. The one thing about it though is that it shines so much more live in concert (the 'How The West Was Won' concert specifically, and after listening to it live, my interest on the studio release weakens greatly....

Opinion: LED ZEPPELIN - Led Zeppelin III (1970)

28 Apr 2009 03:21:11 PDT

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)...

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...

Opinion: [2007.12.17] Myrtle Beach 'Zepplin' coaster gets test run

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...

Written by Daniel Woolstencroft
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...
