What's the appeal of 6, 7, 8, and 12 string basses?

Speaking of JPJ.

WOW!! A new "most annoying female vocalist?" Hard to believe someone could top Yoko Ono and shenead O'Connor COMBINED.  I DO get what she seems to be trying to do...cover the sonic territory of both a singer and a guitarist....but, god, I'd smash my stereo and drive nails thru my eardrums if I had to listen to much of that!

Ya think JPJ is bangin' her or just being paid a lot?

This sort of reminds me of what Robert Fripp did on Exposure 30+ years ago with Terre Roche doing the vocal on the title track....except that was far more interesting and listenable.

JPJ is the only ex zep who has kept busy playing with and producing a wide range of artists. i admire him for that and for not resting on his led zep laurals.

NOw, that might be called art, but then I must admit to enjoying art of noise more.

Plant can't be accused for resting either. He's been doing the solo thing and occasional Page/Plant -projects and others since 1981 and nowadays especially does the music he clearly loves.

True, JP has rested mostly on his laurels (or is unable to make music outside of LZ for any sensible duration), but RP - who I like neither as a frontman nor for his voice, but that is beside the point - has done a lot in his solo career to distance himself from Led Zep - a lot of his CDs do not court the LZ devoted.  It's JP not RP that recycled the Kashmir riff with Puff Daddy for that very deep and insightful Godzilla remake in which the animated lizard did better acting than most humans.

And JB rests too, but not on his laurels, in peace more like!

He should make an acoustic album with Roy Harper.

this is a clip from the outrider album. it shows an example of page's sloppy but imo appealing approach to his 'blues' playing.   hmm, it seems to have vanished.


warner seems to have pulled the video. shite!

Wow that's a blast from the past. It's been over 20 years since the last time I heard this one. I love Page's playing there.
