music at its core is meant to be heard, alot of times with lyrics not that important for the SOUND of the music and alot of people get that twisted.
so what if they didn't "stand for anything"? they helped to make rock music more than just power chords and straightlined songs and to be honest i'd respect that more than a band with average music but who had a "message".

to say Led Zep didn't stand for anything is folly.
they stood for sex, drugs, and rock and roll. it might be a little chauvinistic at this point but it's what it was. as for the idea that 'art' is already defined by the few for the masses, i can't get behind that one at all. regardless of what fancy name made a quote however long ago. for me real art can 'only' be defined by the masses. the human condition is not nearly as pretentious as most artistes would have us believe. |

I just happened to be listening to the Foo Fighters while I read this thread, and is it just me or does the intro to 'The Pretender' kinda sound similar too?

A band doesn't have to have a message. The only message they ever implied was Jimmy Page's "Light and Shade" technique of song creation.

I agree completely about them pioneering Metal and Harder rock, BUT Jimmy Page did steal the riff, or most of it at least. He admitted it years ago saying he stole it from a blues band in the south somewhere, he just sped it up and added about three notes.

I agree. I think music itself can reach a far deeper or higher or just more enjoyable level in human consciousness than some kind of contrived 'message' ever does. Especially their music. ! Thier music is like the thunderous universe balsting stars all over your head for no f*cking reason and it's awesome just because it's happening! |
