>"So I took my acetate to a production meeting and played it to Mick, suggesting that I felt that the band was going to be huge and therefore we should have them on the show as it would be an enormous coup. My suggestion fell on deaf ears, as Mick did not get it at all. A couple of months later I dragged George Harrison to Olympic on the way home from a Beatles session and played him the master tape with the same result, he didn’t get it either. I found this slightly disconcerting as I could not understand why they did not get what was so exciting to me. Prior to this I had always felt that we all shared pretty much the same taste in music. Jimmy and John Paul Jones were from the same era with the same influences and yet Mick and George openly disliked what they had done, seeing no value in it at all."
they were mogged and they knew it was over
>>131307913Mick is trash. George is trash.
>>131308073we upload trash
Paul would've dug it. He invented metal after all.
>>131308280Paul would've internally dug it but externally remained aloof about it and then tried to mog it with his own work.
>>131307913this is some nerd music engineer saying this.no rock star gives a fuck about new music within a year of making it. they're too busy fucking models and shit.

>>131310687yes, 60s rock stars famously never gave a fuck about what their peers were doing or sought to compete with them
>>131307984honestly this
>>131307984True. You basically stopped hearing about the Stones and the Beatles completely after 1969. They’re both incredibly obscure bands at this point, mostly forgotten.
>>131310738Kek first thing i thought too
the assholes at Rolling Stone magazine shit all over them, too. the early boomers just couldn't fathom harder, non-psychedelic stuff, I guess . they'd all moved on to folk or something. I actually got an early boomer into Zep after they initially dismissed their name out-of-hand. I was like what are you talking about, they're awesome. there was a whole cohort of boomers that just couldn't fathom any rock groups past 67 being good for some reason. I've heard them dismissing Floyd, too. it's super weird.
>>131313339> the assholes at Rolling Stone magazine shit all over them, too.They correctly pointed out that the first Led Zeppelin album was just a poor man’s version of the Jeff Beck group.
>>131307913Maybe they'd already heard the first Jeff Beck album.
>>131313378fuck a Jeff Beck. if Zep ripped him off, then why couldn't he ever capitalize on the same sound instead of just release a bunch of albums with a bunch of groups that only sold enough to get him the next deal with the next group?
>casually invents black sabbath
>>131313574>then why couldn't he ever capitalize on the same soundBecause unlike Zeppelin, Jeff Beck wasn't a one trick pony.
Led Zeppelin IV [Atlantic, 1971]More even than "Rock and Roll," which led me into the rest of the record (whose real title, as all adepts know, is signified by runes no Underwood can reproduce) months after I'd stupidly dismissed it, or "Stairway to Heaven," the platinum-plated album cut, I think the triumph here is "When the Levee Breaks." As if by sorcery, the quasi-parodic overstatement and oddly cerebral mood of Led Zep's blues recastings is at once transcended (that is, this really sounds like a blues), and apotheosized (that is, it has the grandeur of a symphonic crescendo) while John Bonham, as ham-handed as ever, pounds out a contrapuntal tattoo of heavy rhythm. As always, the band's medievalisms have their limits, but this is the definitive Led Zeppelin and hence heavy metal album. It proves that both are--or can be--very much a part of "Rock and Roll." A
The moment good times bad times full layers come in it sounds so heavy and full like nothing that had come before
>>131319138This. Plus that little background fill thing Bonham does. Never heard anyone else play that. >>131308416>would'veAre you a conspiracy nut? Or did you really not know that Macca was a fan of LZ, especially Bonham?
>>131308280I can tell you really believe this.
>>131321778I can tell you're a homo.
>>131318375>the quasi-parodic overstatement and oddly cerebral mood of Led Zep's blues recastings is at once transcended (that is, this really sounds like a blues), and apotheosized (that is, it has the grandeur of a symphonic crescendo)That is a good assesment, or at least how I also feel about the cover. And I really dig it, it is a revolutionary song.
>>131321812Shut up bitch. "He invented heavy metal". I reCANT my statement, you are a troll
