Sure they did. It's in the doc. Most rock and roll is blues based. They also made all those simple three chords much much better. Electrified it, added bass, drums, electric keyboards, sound machines, equalizer. Everything echoes form something else. Nothing is original.
Yes, a lot of fun. It starts with their respective childhoods and how their musical roots took hold. Jimmy Page played as a childhood prodigy on TV in the 50's. The bulk of the movie is their beginning through the first two albums. And that's like 18 months. Two major albums and three or four world tours. They came together in late summer of 1968 and by early 1970 they were the returning heroes at London Royal Hall. Very condensed. They were all 20-23 years old; they needed that youthful energy. So no Stairway to Heaven or Black Dog. There is an extensive passage on Whole Lotta Love, which was great.
Each of the three living members are interviewed separately in present time, and a "lost" interview with Bonham shortly before he died in 1980. So no bickering or talking over each other, all with their won thoughts. John Paul Jones might've been the most expansive in view of the band in broad terms. Page was the leader and the brains behind the music.
Stairway to Heaven gets a lot of credit but when the levee breaks might be the greatest song ever.
Cruising in my charcoal gray 77 Camaro, centerline rims, bf Goodrich T/A&s black lettering out, headers, traction bars, bra in front, Blaupunkt stereo, pioneer speakers, stabilizer. Blasting this song around campus and fraternity row. Around the Felix Chevrolet dealership.
Hahahaha. The things we do for friends when they have kind sisters. Daystalkers sister is very kind, so I understand. One of the first times I smoked weed I ended up getting lost in my own neighborhood. Hahahah. Drove around in circles and couldn’t find my way home. I was like, if I can get to PCH I will be fine. I think it’s this way.
Lmao. I hadn’t thought about that in years. I didn’t find good weed until I got to USC.
I’ll check it out. JPJ and Bonzo were ridiculously good. Jimmy was really creative and I think EVH took some lessons on the ‘heartbreaker’ solo, which was kinda meh. Plant and the vocals, OK. Really great band.
I saw them in concert in '75 right after they released Physical Graffiti. The song Kashmir was very unique.
Is there a more overrated band than LZ? Aerosmith maybe.
Always thought they were overrated and still do...hell Heart when they were old did Stairway better then Zeppelin....
They stole many songs from black musicians and didn't give them credit

So many great songs.
