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.
one of my best buddies had a silver AMX Javelin which I coveted and thought was pretty awesome at the time
another had a black '68 Camaro Z28 with factory headers, even in the early '70s they were hard to find, and his already needed paint, but shifting from first to fourth without lugging was always pretty impressive
neighbor had a genuine white 455SD Firebird that seemed to have unlimited power and zero traction, still....
carpooled with a friend who drove a two tone rust MGA roadster with one SU and one Weber carburetor that was in process of restoration but his daily driver, 'cause you know, someone has to be that guy
had no stereo, the top was a sieve when it drizzled and a funnel when it rained and you couldn't rev it over 3000 rpm without issues, but his sister was very kind to me, so I went with the flow
Hahaha, great post. Yeah, great time to be alive. Cool cars, awesome bands making great music, great concerts, Chicks with tight jeans and short shorts, not at the same time though. The weed kinda sucked though. 😂
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.
They stole many songs from black musicians and didn't give them credit

So many great songs.
