I think Led Zeppelin II is the quintessential Led Zeppelin album
I am 72 and have been s huge Zep fan since 1971. No fourth grader should be listening to that music to that degree. O feel sorry for you
Jimmyâs Les Paul from Joe Walsh âhad its neck shaved to slim it downââŠâŠacceptedâŠâŠ..but âwhich actually shaved off the serial numberââŠâŠ. That sounds very much like the guitar was originally stolen! Thereâs no need to take off the serial number when shaving the neck down!
I blame the parents.
Plant didn't get writing credit on the first album because he was already signed to an existing publishing contract and if he received credit on the first Led Zeppelin record, he would be in breach of contract.
in my opinion led zeppelin 2 is the best album
Given that Led Zeppelin I (the debut) was recorded
I had an opportunity to ask Eddie Kramer about the bass sound on Led Zeppelin 2 at a clinic he was doing one time. Itâs such a classic sound. I always thought it was a Fender Jazz. He said that he thought it was a P Bass directly into the board but he went back and forth on that a couple of time, and finally came back with âWhat youâve got to remember is that âJohnseyâ is probably the finest rock bassist of all time and thatâs what really produced that bass soundâ. I donât think anyone can disagree with that.
Plant didn't "feel" like he didn't get any credit on the first album - he didn't. And that's because he was still under contract with CBS.
In the video, the guy talking said the Les Paul Jimmy bought from Joe Walsh in 1969 is a 1960 Les Paul. That's wrong. Led Zeppelin was on tour for their first record in the USA, opening for James Gang, and Jimmy was playing the Dragon Tele. Jimmy watched Joe play his Les Paul, and that was what Jimmy wanted. Joe Walsh was living in New York, and when the tour ended there, Joe brought Jimmy to his house because he had two 1959 Les Pauls. One of them had the baseball bat neck, and the other had a slim taper neck. In 1960, Gibson made the Les Pauls with a slim taper neck because a lot of players were requesting them. Joe sent one of the 1959 Les Pauls to his luthier so he could shave it down to the 1960 spec. That is the guitar Jimmy Page bought from Joe Walsh.
I walked 4 miles through the snow to EJ Korvettes, and with my Christmas MoneyâŠbought Abbey Road and Led Zeppelin II. Pretty cool purchase Iâd say.
The 2nd album đż knocked The Beetles Abbey Road off the #1 spot on the charts.
My first Zeppelin album. You never forget your first.
First album I bought with my own money as a 9 yr old back in '72. Couldn't wait to get home, put on my dad's headphones, and put Whole Lotta Love on volume level 10! Holding that album cover in my hands and staring at it, knowing I was looking at something that was already a part of rock history.
There Will Never Be Another Band Like LED Zeppelin In History
Ramble On, a priceless ageless work of art. i never tire of it now @ 77 still rambling on.
Led Zeppelin II is the best rock album of all time. The sonics, the groove, the vast scapes of sound created were otherworldly and I am sure that all the traveling and being in different spaces to produce and mix it gave it more of that mojo. It truly blew my mind as a very young boy listening to that album, putting the needle on the record and being transported to another dimension. Whole Lotta Love changed my life!
l just love how every album has a unique mix and life of its own. The mix is just as important as the material. The book, "Light and Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page" gives great insights into Jimmy's evolution as a studio musician. For nearly a decade he was like a hawk, quietly watching all the engineers in various studios. He explicitly said that he had a certain notion of how he wanted to record drums. And when Bonham came along? It was destiny itself.
Led Zeppelin II is my favorite Led Zeppelin album. It was so different and fresh when it came out. I remember hearing "Whole Lotta Love" on the radio. I liked the song so much, I went to the music store and bought the album. At first, I didn't like the other songs on the album but, after repeated listenings, I learned to love all the songs. There isn't a bad song on Led Zeppelin II.
This was AWESOME!!!
