    how about zep-fairport with a tull thrown in?

    dave pegg who played with tull & Fairport, sandy denny sang for fairport, and did the great battle of evermore tracks with Zep.

    My question, kick me if its been asked already....
    What Bronson movie did Jimmy Page do the soundtrack for?

    Death Wish II


    (BTW. Yes I was thinking about Sandy Denny and/or Dave Pegg, but simply Sandy I would also have accepted ;) )

    Where did they rehearse for their 1977 US Tour?

    1) The Symbols
    Plant: Feather of Ma'at (the Egyptian goddess of justice and fairness)
    JPJ:taken from a book of runes and symbolises a person with confidence and competence
    Page:astrological signs
    Bonham:the man-wife-child trilogy
    2)Jimmy Page: "I used to spend a lot of time going to junk shops looking for things that other people might have missed. Robert was on a search with me one time, and we went to this place in Reading where things were just
    piled up on one another. Robert found the picture of the old man with the sticks and suggested that we work it into our cover somehow. So we decided to contrast the modern skyscraper on the back with the old man with the sticks - you see the destruction of the old, and the new coming
    forward."

    This zoso-interpretation is rather funny. It's correct that Cardan might have used such symbols from time to time, but I doubt it had that meaning.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerolamo_Cardano
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript

    I think, that this symbol is just a word used in that manuscript and which might have been common during 16th century among scientists or alchimists.
    They might have used it to escape from the fate of Galilei or even Bruno.

    At least - it is a simpler explanation and therefore maybe more realistic (things are always more simple than they seem).

    Anyway, I don't feel that well discussing that kind of stuff. In the first place this is feeding that stupid backmasking theory which is not true.
    Second, after having read "Foucault's Pendulum" it's some kind of repulsive. In that book, people get slain just because they found a medieval list of a laundry which others take for some opera magna. (Good read, I recommend it, the first chapters are hard, but then it gets real good.)

    And I am just doing my clothes!

    No, that Hermit is a card of the classic deck of tarot. That's also the way Page is presenting himself in "The Song Remains The Same". He's filling in the role of that card.

    The image of the old man, standing atop a mountain, holding out a beacon to a young man climbing below on the inside sleeve is a picture drawn by Page's friend, Barrington Colby.

    The first one was a question at a club that I was at, I got it right and won two tickets to the Tragically Hip.
    1. What was Plant's stage nickname?
    2. What city did the infamous 'fish' incident happen in, and for bonus points, what was the fish incident?
    3. Who used to own Page's castle on the shores of Loch Ness?
    4. Who uttered the critique of the band, that lead to their name, and for bonus points, what did he say?
    5. What is the instrument called that is in the video "Song remains the same", that Jimmy uses to make high pitched haunting tones by bringing things close to it and then moving them around it?
    6. What famous 60's song by another big UK band contains a studio recorded Page guitar solo?

    Good going, that's two out of six.... 33.3 percent.... keep it up... I only find Mr. Crowley's early life interesting, when he was in the Karakoram climbing big mountains. He was quite a good mountaineer in his youth. His blood drinking, and seance stuff is a little too negative for me, I prefer good magic.

    Nice way of putting it.....snapper.....hehehe

    Would you mind keeping to the discipline ;) and stop doing your childish catfights in this halls? ;)

    Please. Do trivia or Zep-discussions. Don't battle around!

    It was Keith Moon from The Who, who stated, that the music of Page's new band would drop and crash like a lead balloon (Pb) and so the band worked on to carve it to a "Led Zeppelin".

    The song you wanted is "With a little Help from my Friends" - a Beatles song.


    Nata, are you around?

    Bob's nickname was Percy.

    The 'instrument' is called a Theremin.

    I'm guessing no one is going to attempt my previous question (yet again), so i'll reveal that it was Manticore Studios, Fulham, England.

    he sang in my time of dying, then got in a car crash after the show and he thought the song was bad luck and refused to sing it after that?

    You ask a question about Led Zeppelin and/or you answer one.
