Led Zeppelin, the greatness of

Led Zeppelin were amazing...definitely one of my favorite bands.

Don't know about the bow however.

According to Page in a video interview I saw a few years ago, he got the idea for using the cello bow from the cello-playing father of former TV actor David McCallum (from "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."). Page was forever trying something new to keep the performances fresh for both the band and the audiences, and the bow, like the theremin he used in "Whole Lotta Love" fit right into that notion. The only way I know to really answer the questions about the technique would be to recommend watching the film "The Song Remains the Same" and you can see for yourself. His technique was, shall we say, percussive.

And just because I play a cherry sunburst Les Paul and a hot-rodded Epiphone G-1275 doubleneck, that's no reason to assume I'm a Zeppelin fan. :wink:

Here's a great Led Zeppelin song and a great bunch of cats....

Rock on!

geeeze gustav, I sometimes wonder where you get
lost in the internet.

Help me, Jane. Help me.

That would be the blind leading the blind

Here's an interesting site about manure spreader calibration

This is the great thing about A2K. What other site has a discussion about Led Zeppelin that includes manure spreader calibration.

Only at A2k will you witness such a phenomenon

Any discussion that gets an unexpected visitor named gustavratzenhofer, will eventually sway into a different
direction.

Well how's this for a coincidence? The aforementioned Epiphone doubleneck's name is Jane.

Pray, continue in whatever direction you were swerving before I so rudely referred back to the original topic. :wink:

I just read your unedited post - I thought it was a nice
story - and it is a coincidence (altough my real name is not
Jane).

I'm glad, life turned out good for her. Fate has its ways.

Led Zeppelin? Simply the best rock band EVER! Who is better than Zep? Come on, just try to name one! Okay, if you take the Beatles out of it (and actually, they aren't really the same kind of band--they were more of a pop-type of thing for most of their duration), nobody beats Zep!!!~

Remember that no-talent hack band Whitesnake? Remember how they tried to steal that playing the guitar with a bow dealio? Pathetic pretenders...

Led Zeppelin, ONE of the GREATEST bands ever! My fav 2 songs of Led Zeppelin are 'Kashmir' and 'Trampled Underfoot' I AM A HUGE LED ZEPPELIN FAN!

That brings up another point...they've been sampled/ripped off so many damn times. Very influential band.

They're one of the few bands/artists, that when I listen to, I get really "into" the music(this means I run down the street with only my headphones and socks on while listening to them ringing+running everyone's doorbells).

I was wondering who that was.

Thanks, Calamity Jane. I edited that story out when I realized that I had already told it in the thread "What does music do for you?" And I'm not really a doctor either; it's a nickname I acquired from a friend. So I guess we're even!

She's just kidding you about her name, Doc. It is Jane.

Jane Portoski. She's lives in Beaumont, Georgia and runs a very successful dry-cleaning business.

All of us at A2K are very proud of her.

Yup, Zeppelin Rocks!

Stick to the polka, Montana.

But why, Gus?
