What a fucking disaster that was.Lucus and his Star Wars tinkering.

And Waters is such hypocritical prick. Fuck him and his anti-war stance when he sucked the dick of EMI - who are a known missile weapons manufacturer - for years.
...and land mines. Don't forget the land mines. How many little children have had their legs blown off because of EMI landmines? It's all a big burrito of hypocritical shit.

That's right. And every fucked-in-the-head conspirator nutjob knows Princes Diana was killed by EMI for taking a stand against them.
An ironic statement, given the number of times the Zeppelin catalog has been released, remastered, and repackaged over the last 25 years.
Not that Grant had anything to do with that- he was already dead before their first round of CD's came out. But obviously Jimmy Page didn't take his old manager's word on the subject very seriously.
Oops.... did I just make it easier for Kristy to bash Zeppelin and Floyd in the same thread?

Nope. I'm pretty much done with Zeppelin. Unless that plagiarist limey bastard sticks his head out and goes through another mid-life type of crisis like he did when he joined the Black Crowes. What gets me if that Plant is now this self-professed Americana singer trying to hump the likes of Allison Krauss and Patti Griffith like he was 25.Oops.... did I just make it easier for Kristy to bash Zeppelin and Floyd in the same thread?
Paggie must have figured in Britain you could rip off all those American musicians and nobody would notice.
Well, you can't really blame the guy for that........
Have you listened to that "Band Of Joy" nonsense he's doing? It's awful. And that makes me sad because I happen to like Patti Griffin
He looks like Sammy fucking Hagar in that photo. All he needs to do now is bang on the window and try and sell us a bottle of tequila.Well, you can't really blame the guy for that........
breathe; breathe in the air. don't be afraid to care.
Band of Joy? Wasn't that the group he and Bonzo were in BEFORE Zeppelin? Like when Plant was fucking 16 years old??
I also don't own a Pink Floyd album and pretty much feel the same way you do. I just don't get it..
I respect Plant for realizing that a Led Zep reunion would inevitably disappoint and just doing whatever he wants.
Yeah, he's old. But the songs on those Americana records are good.
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
I suppose in his age and with the amount of money he has (more than God by last estimates) Plant can do anything he wants including rehashing Zep songs - without Zeppelin.
It still sucks though
Probably as good of a time as any to throw in Pink Floyd's first performance in 25 years (which unfortunately also turned out to be their last).....
Eternally Under the Authority of Satan
Now, is Dave's desperation country shit any better than plant's post-Zep rehashes? Fuck nope! Plant never had to grovel, sell out or embarrass his legacy. But our Davey? It's a shame that "Jump" is VH's "Stairway". But then Cowboy Dave and his blinding ego make it that much worse. it reminds me of how Pete's Brother paraphrased one of FORD's pompous,inaccurate journalistic manifestos and made both look that much more.......
Dave still has the voice. About it, really.
Jimmy Page is a victim of his own unwillingness to step outside himself...therefore he has resorted to whoring out his own legacy in various digital formats. Sad really. Last "good" thing Page did was Coverdale Page and that was nearly 20 years ago (despite what people think of David Coverdale, he did at least extract some inspire solos and songs from Page). Since then? A brief stint as Robert Plant's solo band guitar player (Page & Plant), a brief couple of tours with the Black Crowes, and the Zep reunion four years ago. Whoop de shit.An ironic statement, given the number of times the Zeppelin catalog has been released, remastered, and repackaged over the last 25 years.

Catalog whoring is old had, and quite honestly Van Halen hasn't participated in NEARLY as much as their 70's contemporaries. I fear that the only reason this hasn't happened yet is because Ed and Al are too lazy to do it, not because they have anything against it. There's loads of live recordings and demo recordings that need a clean up and release. That would be a goldmine.
No! Dave has 'Dave'.. It will never go away and becomes a more finly tuned instrument as we move along..
I was talking about Dave Gilmour. Floyd still blows.
How about you?

Loved it when Plant opened for the Who in New york and Townshend said, " It's what's left of Robert Plant opening for what's left of the Who."
Everybody is a hypocrite. even more so when they're a contractionally obliged hypocrite.
Fast & Bulbous, Got Me?
Well, Plant can't hit all those Zeppelin high notes anymore (he couldn't hit some of them in 1973, for Hell's sake) but he still sounds better than Daltrey on that last tour or that godawful super bowl performance.
Don't want to get into a pissing contest or a flame war. The point of the statement was that both are not even close to the talents they once were.
To be fair, Daltey's voice was bad on endless wire, the 2006 tour and at superbowl. He had surgery on the pipes since then and is much better now.
Sorry, couldn't help but try to piss farther than you.
True, actually. Although, I think the Superbowl was literally just a few weeks after his surgery, so he was still a bit shaky. But I saw him over the summer and I was surprised at how much his voice had improved. He said from the stage that since his surgery he realised how much he loves singing because it was nearly taken away from him. So, he appears to be taking better care of it. Having said that, he did play a nearly 3-hour set too (including, I must say, a nice little surprise for me at the end when he played Blue, Red & Grey alone on a ukelele to finish off...great stuff).
But, then, I've always thought The Who were a bazillion times better than Led Zep could ever wish to be anyway...so I'm bound to make excuses.
The only two people who ever pulled off a good Super Bowl performance were Prince who even had to play in the rain and Michael Jackson. All the rest seem to get hit by kyptonite or something. The talent seems to fade as suckyness rolls in.
I have no idea how a football game morphed into such a goon fest of so called entertainment and it has to be the only thing going that people watch the commercials for entertainment. The Super Bowl is just weird.
Not true. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were great. (Of course they always do a solid live show, so no surprise there)
The Boss was great too, even though it was easily the shortest set he ever played in his life....
Say what you will about Bono and his posturing at times, but the show U2 played post 9/11 was one of the most inspired and moving spectacles ever aired on television.

Even beyond the money, older albums that were released back when vinyl was the primary format just don't sound right to my ears when updated and cleaned up for a cd release.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Kristy, EMI is now out to kill you for criticizing them, lol.
1. I don't care for all of the PF stuff. I like Animals, DSOTM and Wish You Were Here. I saw The Wall when it had it's theatrical release. Went to see it at a midnight showing while tripping on acid. Big mistake. One of the most depressing films I have ever seen. That very night I swore I would NEVER see that film again. And I have not. I have no desire to. Nor have I listened to the album, with the exceptions of what I have heard on the radio, or seen cover bands play.
2. Robert Plant's most recent album is with a group of Nashville musicians, and he named the band "The Band Of Joy". He and Patty Griffin are a couple now. He is apparently in Nashville right now. Dunno how permanent his presence here is, but he has lived here on and off for the past decade.
3. Led Zep's first round of CDs came out long before Peter Grant died. He kicked the bucket in 1995. I owned Led Zep CDs years before then.
4. I am all for remastering if it actually improves the mix and the sound quality. If it is just a cash grab, I don't give a fuck. Thing is, this new series of remasters supposedly is just the beginning. Nick Mason made some comment about how they were going to be releasing all kinds of rare stuff that has never seen the light of day. From what I have read somewhere, we will be seeing film, outtakes, alternate takes, alternate mixes, unreleased tunes, etc. in the future.
5. Was in a friend of mine's record shop a few days ago. Happened to find an original vinyl copy of Robin Trower Live, recorded in Stockholm in 1975. I took the album out of the sleeve......it was like new. As if it had never been played. So my friend let me borrow it so I could record it. A pristine copy of the album. Woot!
Got it home, ran it into an early 70s MacIntosh hi-fi power amp, then out into my PC. Used some plugins to remove clicks, pops, and general noise. Sounds like gold.
6. I was surprised at the sound of the original mix on Ozzy's first two solo albums when I downloaded pristine UK release vinyl rips not too long ago. Sounded sort of muddy to me. But, those were the original mixes. And no fucking way was I going to give any more of my cash to that cunt Sharon.
I could be wrong but I strongly suspect at some point a fuckwit conspiracist on the internet has seen the term EMI landmine and got confused. EMI in this case stands for Electromagnetic induction not the record company.
Smoke em if you got em...
There is no one else in the history of human culture who is better than Bono at turning other peoples tragedy into theatre and success.
I now carry a donor card that says 'In the event of me dying in tragic circumstances I forbid Bono from making money from it'.
It must be terrible for Plant and Page when they look at their old groupies from the 1970s now and see them in their 40s...
I think I agree with most of the recent posts.
Haven't listened to Plant since Now and Zen. Haven't listened to Page since the Firm. What happened to all that talent from Zep? Where did it go?
It all went with John Paul Jones. The man has quietly put out more interesting music in the past decade or so than all of the Plant/Page collaborations and solo works combined.
