Nice comp!


Gotta say, they sounded great and the vocals were ACE. Closed your eyes it sounds just like Robert Plant.

One issue though---playing Zeppelin on a strat should be illegal! (nothing wrong with strats, but it just goes against the whole Zep grain)

You know quite a few of the later records had a strat on them though, right? (the Lemon song excluded, but still... lol)

I think they have it down! Thanks Jeff, a good way to start the day.

Regardless of if they were used or not - It is a little strange seeing the strat and tele, for that matter, in the Zep genera - doesn't match the posters i used to have.

Funny how that happens! I love seeing people mentioned Led Zeppelin I as their favorite Les Paul sound.... Um... that was all Telecaster buddy!!

Check, but the Tele wasn't on my poster!

Note - the Telecaster is one of my Fave electric guitars.

Yep, and if you listen closely---the first album does sound like a cranked Tele. People's imaginations take over. Page's Dragon tele was way cool.

I didn't know about the strat later on though! Are you talking like Houses of the Holy era? In any case, they started branching out later on, so I can see where a strat would fill in nicely. Earlier it was predominantly heavy riff-driven blues that suit an LP perfectly.

I learned about this band while Shari & I were having dinner last night with Mike Gutierrez.

Last album or two. Where's that "barf" emoticon?

I'll drink to that. Bonham was great, but I'm strangely glad in some ways...I'd be afraid to see what came next.

Really? Led Zeppelin have been around for quite a while.

A little late here because I am in Paris. This is the guy Zep should use to replace Plant.
