David Lee Roth Better Than Robert Plant Singing Live???

[Heater]

Open the vaults! Am I right?

[Seshmeister]

Who else Fucking LOVES Dave?

I see Bleater scored some of the blue meth this evilning.

Hopefully it's laced with cyanide.

Except you're probably basing those comments on the official overdubbed and highly processed recording of that show, since you weren't actually in London to see the performance.

The unenhanced (as in no post-show studio overdubs) audio of the 02 show is obviously a bit different than what ended up on Celebration Day, particularly with the vocals. As the raw audio demonstrates, Plant could still pull off some songs well (For Your Life sounded really good). Hearing him try and warble through Stairway at that show was just embarrassing. It'd be one thing to be there seeing it in realtime, I suppose, but when listening to it with a clinical ear it was just...it didn't sound good. Good Times Bad Times sounded like it was detuned at least a whole step...with the stuff they did from Houses through Presence, the vocals sounded decent. Anything earlier than Houses found Plant struggling. There was no escape, my sweet Satan.

No, he said BEERsack, I LOVE ballsacks.

But who the HELL carries beer in a sack? How funny am I? I'm the kind of deep, thinking man funny. Dave would Love me.

There's nobody else like you here.......except for, well......

More comic gold from your genius mind. You should write professionally.

Or maybe F. Satan could lace it with his love juice...then you would devour it. Right? Right. All gone.

Bleater, I'm truly sorry that you seem unable to find the man of your dreams, but the Gates of Hell just don't swing that direction. Maybe you need to stop fantasizing about The Devil, and about heterosexual rock singers, and just go out there and meet somebody.

I'm sure there's a redneck bar nearby where you can find guys who are into sheep.

Personally I prefer to be caught with a sheep rather than another man

Don't say that around Bleater. He might take it as an invitation.

Celebration Day is a calculated cash grab if I ever saw one and it's a steaming pile of crap. Every cut I've heard on the radio off of Celebration Day sounds noisy and poorly balanced. John Paul Jones is the best quarter of the whole. Pagey is going through the motions. Jason Bonham does not have the presence of his father. And Plant sounds strained. There is no magic. I will never buy this record!!!

Decision: Roth wins!

He needs self control. Heater don't be a poseur, just be yourself. If you're a fag, you're a fag.

Yeah, but he's also a sheep!

You think that's a cash grab?

Have you heard the latest news? Page is remastering the entire Zep catalog.... AGAIN.

This has to be at least the 6th time, if not the 666th. I should have included record royalties in the deal I made for their souls.
