Well, tbh, it was an idiotic point. It's like saying you can't like Iron Maiden if you don't like Genesis. And also, I question that Bathory were heavily influenced by Zeppelin. Tbh usually people accuse Hammerheart of ripping off Manowar.How eloquently rebutted.
The music wasn't relevant to that point so...Ditto. This says nothing about the music.
Also, I mentioned the music was crap. Happy?
Music: what you get when you put all the instruments together. You can have tedious music with great drumming.Drumming is not part of the music? Bonham was one of the first outside of jazz to play drums not just as a metronome but like a lead instrument.
My problem isn't that he sings high, my problem is his colossally annoying voice. So, no, actually, I have no problem enjoying Priest, Maiden, and most power metal.I can understand people not having a taste for Plant but on that basis you'd have a hard time enjoying Priest, Maiden and most power metal.
Is that the one where Plant moans until I hit the skip button? I think I might have let that play out once because I wasn't paying attention, but I honestly can't recall the bassline.You obviously haven't listened much then because 'Dazed and Confused' is only one of the most famous basslines ever.
Okay, that's great. Of course, considering Zep's reputation as being innovative, I consider this significant. However, if you'd read the whole post you would have noticed the part where I took back "hacks."Congratulations on citing an internet source which you don't understand. Those allegations can basically be dismissed by one of the following:
1. 'plagiarism' was commonplace in blues and not considered objectionable.
2.Choose any of the heavier rock albums of the period and look at the number of covers (Jeff Beck, Yardbirds etc)
3. the majority of those songs were radically altered
4. those songs were basically Zep's formative period as they carved out a new style and really were not those that made them famous.
Actually, I meant I can't really listen to his voice for more than three minutes. I've made multiple attempts to get into them, and have about 8 hours of their stuff on my comp my friend lent me, maybe half of which I've listened to.vihris-gari said:I like how you mention turning Zeppelin off after 3 minutes. As in, you've already made up your mind about the band before actually making any attempt at appreciating their music.
The attitude doesn't bother me; songs about rocking and sex and drinking and leaving women are fine. What bothers me is that neither band writes music that I find remotely interesting. I passed through the brief phase almost every guy goes through in seventh grade where AC/DC are the epitome of all that is awesome and then one day I realized that Angus Young's guitar-playing was actually really boring and their music was childish. I don't have a problem with people who like them, although there are a lot of people who wear AC/DC shirts who don't like their music.Really, there's just no defense for such an epic fail at hard rock opinions as those quoted above. If you can't get over the attitude of bands like Zeppelin and AC/DC enough to actually give them an open-minded listen, then don't make ignorant-ass posts about them.
