Ok, now after a night out with my cardiologist, drinking scotch and sharing a cigarette (what IS it with doctors and smoking?) I can answer all your questions.
I love Zeppelin. John Paul Jones...well, let's just say, left an impression on me. My very first band, when I had a '63 Jazz Bass (...that I sold a year later for $600....to buy a Guild Pilot bass! (it was 1987. Things were weird back then) I was in my first recording studio and nervous as hell. Ian MacKaye (for anyone who followed DC punk, or has heard of Fugazi) was producing our first record. He, and the engineer, asked what kind of bass tone I was looking for. I, obviously, said, "uh....Led Zeppelin II."
They laughed.
A lot.
And kept laughing.
But, yes, I love Zeppelin, though I haven't dabbled in the black arts...or, read much Crowley.
That all said, I'm beginning to like this forum a whole lot.
