Artist(s) of the Week: Led Zeppelin! - VGF

Vinny · 06-13-2004, 03:20 PM

This, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the greatest rock bands ever. They pretty much started modern rock music, and every single one of their musicians was talented and recognized in his own right. Tight jeans and long hair aside, Led Zeppelin was unique and can even now be separated from all the rock bands that came after because they added their own touch to it, which came in the form of John Paul Jones. Even now they still stand as one of the greats. We had to honor them.

Pointless fact of the week:
The word “trivia” comes from the Latin "tri-" + "via", which means three streets. This is because in ancient times, at an intersection of three streets in Rome, they would have a type of kiosk where ancillary information was listed. You might be interested in it, you might not, so they were bits of “trivia."

I MUST PLAY KASHMERE.

*plays Kashmere*

EEEEEE!!!!!

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-14-2004, 12:28 AM

I can play the drum part to Stairway perfectly.
I'm especially good at the first half of the song.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

GRENTLEMEN · 06-14-2004, 09:40 AM

I've much respect for Zeppelin, but I just can't bring myself to like their music. It has something to with my mom listening to them when she was my age, I think.

Pieist · 06-14-2004, 02:04 PM

Led Zeppelin rules!

*plays the Immigrant Song*

skemper · 06-14-2004, 06:23 PM

Anyone else get the dvd that came out last year?

El Barto · 06-14-2004, 07:31 PM

I love this band. I find it hard to believe it hasn't already been the artist of the week, actually.

Nabooru98 · 06-14-2004, 11:24 PM

YAY!!! I am a big fan of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Good to see one of them up here.

Parrakarry · 06-15-2004, 02:06 PM

Zeppelin is THE best band ever. Well... okay, I might be overreacting a bit, but IMHO they're a great group. Stairway to Heaven is an AMAZING song... and so is the Immigrant song, and all the other ones whose names I can't remember right now... great band.

And I got that DVD.

Valentine · 06-15-2004, 06:06 PM

Zeppelin rock!
They're my dad's favourite band besides Pink Floyd and it's the kinda music I grew up with.

Nekoscat · 06-15-2004, 10:40 PM

I have the perfect band to go with this next week. I dont know if i've done it already... but if i havent, then Ill let you know for sure..
the band im going to pick reaaaally reminds me of Led Zeppelin.. ^_^ ::excitement::

Ninja Hammer Man · 06-20-2004, 10:36 PM

Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands.

Link2000 · 06-20-2004, 11:34 PM

Led Zeppelin rocks! I can't believe my parents didn't like them. My dad says the only song he liked from them was Stairway to Heaven.

Parrakarry · 06-26-2004, 07:02 AM

Now, I admit that Zeppelin's so good they deserve TWO weeks, but the second's almost over. Gonna make a new one? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Vinny · 06-26-2004, 08:05 AM

Yes, sorry about that. I had not forgotten to change it for next week, don't worry about that. I guess it's Neko's turn anyway. If he hasn't changed it by Tuesday, I'll do it.
