Nextmanup Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's absolutely fascinating how Jimmy Page has slowly turned into an aging Oriental man with the passage of time!

I have this on my left arm, in black: I and my buddies were little kids in the late 1970s when Led Zeppelin ruled the world. We were only like 9 years old, but we know of them and liked their music. I remember joining a record club where your first 10 albums or something cost like 1 penny; then you got a new album each month that you could keep or not buy or something. One of the initial albums I got was "ZOSO" or Zeppelin IV! Had it on vinyl man....later destroyed in a flood in my mother's basement! Anyway, my buddies and I referred to your tattoo or their 4th album as "ZOFO" as we thought the 3rd letter was an "F" and not an "S". True Story! LOL. 3 minutes ago, row_33 said: he kept his hearing and was able to mix the amazing recent releases. I kid Jimmy b/c I love Jimmy. I am the biggest Zeppelin fan you'll ever meet. I listen to their music daily and started playing the guitar solely so I could learn Zeppelin music, which is not easy to play. The first real riff I mastered was the classic from "Black Dog". Took me nearly 1.5 years to play it correctly. Edited January 10, 2019 by Nextmanup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in middle school (1984) when I decided to really get in to Led Zeppelin. I remember calling my brother, who is six years older than I am and asking him where to start. He told me to start with Led Zeppelin II, so I did. Loved it. Then I went to Zep I, III and kept going in order. in hindsight, I think starting with II was really good advice. Lastly, Page looks like David Carradine in the picture above. Edited January 10, 2019 by Gugny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he does look like Carradine! II is probably my favorite album, then IV, then 1, then III. Houses of the Holy has some good stuff, and after that, it gets kind of bleak kind of quickly. Really, the first 5 albums are what built their place in history and what I think of as true Zeppelin. While on this topic, it's worth noting that "Rock 'N Roll", "Black Dog'" and "Stairway to Heaven" (for God's sake!) appear on a SINGLE side of the same album! Zeppelin IV. Name a better album side of rock 'n roll history! You can't. All 3 of those songs will be played, listened to, and celebrated as long as there are humans around listening to music.

III is my favorite. I loved the radical move from the sound of II. The only studio albums I don't love are Presence and In Through the Out Door. I like them both, but not nearly as much as the others. Coda has some awesome stuff on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting choice. They began doing the whole 'Alistair Crowley' black magic sound then. It's a great album but I'd say 1 could be my fave. The only good song on Presence is Achilles Last Stand. It's in my top 5 Zep songs. Coda is good because they picked the best of what was left over after Bonham died, from what I know. There wasn't much left, however.

row_33 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) The fill mixed between Friends and Celebration Day is eerie, apparently a good jam that got lost by the techies.... One writer was let into Page's house for an interview, during which Jimmy pressed a button and a wall moved and paintings of souls tormented in hellfire appeared. The writer didn't have a comment that suited Page's look to continue on that theme. Edited January 10, 2019 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(D G C G C D) It can’t be played any other way and it’s the only song I know of in this tuning. It’s my favorite Zep tune. I had to commit a Fender acoustic to eternal tuning so I can just grab it and play the song. Worth the $300 imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once you start with those alternate tunings, it can get expensive. I'm speaking from my son's experience, not mine. I'm straight up standard tuning. My son is all over the place and has multiple guitars to accommodate different tunings. And he just told me last night that his next goal is to save up for a 7-string. I'd never heard that about the Rain Song's tuning. Fascinating! This is why I love threads like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son's first amp was a little 30w Line 6 (bought the amp and a Squier Vibe Series Strat for $300 out the door - that Strat sounds just as good and stays in tune better than my buddy's American Fender Strat and my Mexican). When I knew he was serious about playing, I got him a Peavey 6505+ 112 Combo, which is 60 watts all tube (LOUD). One of his Christmas presents this year was a Celestion V-30 speaker for that amp. He's a metal head. But he plays some sweet blues, too. There's weekly blues jam at a local tavern. I brought him there to jam with the big boys and he held his own. So I got him a Fender Blues Jr. - 12 inch speaker, 15w tube. That amp smokes!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
