this is quite possibly the worst Led Zeppelin cover I've ever seen.
that a member of Zeppelin is involved makes it even more hideous.
what are they thinking?
the guitar solo is horrendous, krauss does very little, and there's no fire or passion.
very very disappointed, almost disturbed me.
the banjo is ridiculous. Jimmy Page ought to sue Robert Plant for placing his songs into disrepute.
what were the grammies for. please not this track.
Hmmm... I heard there was some problem between the two; they WERE going to perform, but then they both tried to cancel at the last minute because Robert Plant had evidently started slapping Allison Krause around and was yelling "For the love of God, Allison, it's not called a 'fiddle', it's called a f------violin! And stop YODELING!!"...or something like that....at least that's what I heard...at least that's what I THOUGHT I heard...
is it just me? I love Led Zeppelin and Plant, and I like Krauss up till now. but I just don't get what they re trying to prove here.
someone plz explain.
Matt, It's just a different take on an old song. I like it alot and I understand why you may not, but let Robert have some fun. Don't get upset about it. Black Dog is alive & well and this version may even draw some new listeners to the ZEP.
Mr.D-- Matt-- according to Grammy insiders, the producers of the notorious televised event wanted to downplay the rap/gangsta contingency this year; hence, we were force-fed a couple of codgers of classic rock. Tame? Duh! Lame? Well, would you rather have had another Brittany come-back? Better yet, Mylie Cyrus in full teen-slut regalia, complete w/ her life-sized cardboard cut-out of noneother than Matt Dowd!! And let's say you hadn't exactly given her legal permission to exploit your corregated effigy, so subsequently Ms. Cyrus appears down at Council to complain and then Eric Garcetti explains that he can't really weigh in becuz of the Brown Act, and then Miss Mylie says: "Then can I talk about Mike Hunt?" If ONLY!!
