The comment intrigues me and I'm anticipating that it will take the discussion into a great direction. As a hack drummer, one favourite moment is Bonham's fill at 1:17 of Achilles Last Stand. I have heard a few things about them, but always up for LZ lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
RaoulDuke79 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So damn good. I may have to put on the headphones after everyone goes to bed and drift away. 2 hours ago, Nextmanup said: It's absolutely fascinating how Jimmy Page has slowly turned into an aging Oriental man with the passage of time! I'm not sure biologists fully understand the processes involved. Hahaha....you're right. He looks like a cross between Tommy Chong and the troll meme face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Jimmy was/is my inspiration to play guitar. While I play nearly everything of his, my favorites are acoustic guitar versions of Going to California, The Rain Song, Kashmire etc. for the obtuse, created tunings. Cant imagine Rock music without the Zep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Scandinavian late 60s film is the best Jimi and friends starting off tuning and fiddling around with their own amps and kit is great nostalgia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 9 years old when Bonham died. I did, however, see Jimmy Page on his Outrider tour with Jason Bonham on drums.

Cant imagine Rock music without the Zep. If I had to pick one Zep song as my favorite, it would be The Rain Song. What a beautiful song with an incredible build up. Listening to it puts me in another place. Love it. 1 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...

Gugny Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 3 hours ago, Chandler#81 said: Stage 112 SE. ‘Sparkle & Punch’! Nice! 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...

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. So, if my math skills are correct your next three albums were V, IV, VI.
