“Grow up foolish prick?” Thanks ptet. Seems as if Fred is the one who needs to grow up. I was just joining in on the fun of poking fun at LZ.

The original posting here was clearly meant as humor.

What’s your excuse, Fred, for coming onto strangers blogs and leaving comments calling complete strangers “foolish pricks”?

Is that the grown up” thing to do?

I read your opinion piece grinning from ear to ear. I does my soul good to know I am not the only one who HATES Led Zeppelin. Good Lord Almighty! Overrated and overplayed. In the words of Bill Clinton, “I feel your pain!” Yes, at one time, I too was embarrassed to dare deny the diety of the ‘Mighty Zep’. Not any more. I think my breaking point came at the 3,128,148,195th playing of the ‘Immigrant Song’ on the local classic rock station. Yep, you can count on the typical ‘classic rock’ station playing the ole ‘Zep’ at least once and hour. My musical taste ranges from classic rock to classic R&B to Punk to New Wave to classic country to classical. I think I would rather have my eyes burned out with an acetylene blowtorch that have to listen to LZ or (c)rap though. Thanks for writing that opinion piece. I now know that I am not alone. I can face the world with a new sense of being. Also, now that I have found this new freedom, I will now officially state that I also HATE Nirvana! Cheers. MAQ

haha, i’m not convinced at all, led zeppelin are the best, you are high, robert plant is amazing, and you were going off a magazine, seriously, the media hated led zeppelin, because they don’t sellout, all of zeppelin’s decisions are made in thought of what would be better for the band and for the fans, led zeppelin are the best band EVER, without a doubt

Well I can’t believe Led Zeppelin still remains popular - I always thought they were over-rated and their 25 years of classic rock radio supremacy is mind-boggling! However, I DO enjoy Dread Zeppelin and I also love the various cover versions of Stairway (both the Australian gameshow release and the others I’ve found - Brave Combo, Dolly Parton, that Finnish band on YouTube)

You’re not actually alone in your switch from unquestioning obedience to the Mighty Led Zeppelin to hating the shit out of the overrated dickheads. Actually hate is maybe too strong a word, as they’re really quite comical if you think about them. Does anyone remember laughter? Yes, we’re laughing at you Mr Plant.

I know I’ve posted a couple of Chet Atkins clips, but I’ve always felt that his sins as a producer cast a dark shadow over his accomplishments as a guitarist. Give me Merle Travis, Paul Yandell or Al Myers any day of the week.

When I finally get around to doing a new episode of The Church Burnin’ Ebola Broadcasting System, I’ll plan on showcasing a Bob Newman tune or two - Al Myers throws down some tasty licks on those old records.

now, Skynyrd. That’s fucking timeless son. Also Scott Joplin. but not Chet Atkins.

I feel the same way… but I still enjoy watching them on DVD or youtube for ‘rare’ live videos. they suck at times, but yet they rule too. argh. Some bootlegs from ‘69 ~ ‘73 are really good, no edits like ‘the song remains the same’.
