I saw Zeppelin 4 times live. The first time they were great, in 1968 when their first album came out the last three they just sucked live.

Led Zeppelin Vs. The Beatles - Who Is The True Rock G.O.A.T.?
- Thread starter Stashman
- Start date
Uriah Heep please a few ok songs than faded away, what about Humble Pie?lol the 'post Fab Four' Beatles were chasing changing fashions, not innovators; they were just adapting to newer market demands. You clearly don't know shit about pop music and rock history.
lol @ 'jaw dropping'. Stones, Jimi Hendix, Uriah Heep, and scores of others were already out and touring in 1965; 'Rubber Soul' was candy pop. They started marketing themselves as 'hippies n stuff' trying to keep up. Bob Dylan was already well known.
Don't forget the Isley Brothers fired Jimi.and hendrix was playing with Little Richard in 65 and then Curtis Knight and the Squires in 66.....yea dudley is a rock historian.....

My argument has always been, listen to Abbey Road without prejudice and then decide.Bobby Orr was good, but Wayne Gretzky was the GOAT. Led Zep weren't even Bobby Orr, more like Phil Esposito.
ok this then begs the question.....if they sucked why did you keep on going to see them?...I saw Zeppelin 4 times live. The first time they were great, in 1968 when their first album came out the last three they just sucked live.
funny you mention that....i just saw on some music station an interview with Ernie Isley...he said Jimi got bored with them and quit....and then he hooked up with little Richard....Don't forget the Isley Brothers fired Jimi.
Apples to marshmallows.
The first time they were great. Than Jimmy found heroin and became very sloppy.ok this then begs the question.....if they sucked why did you keep on going to see them?...
No he was fired for upstaging them. I got that from Buddy Miles who played on Band of Gypsies.funny you mention that....i just saw on some music station an interview with Ernie Isley...he said Jimi got bored with them and quit....and then he hooked up with little Richard....

I went to see Chicago and they were terrible. That doesn't mean they weren't a great band. Tours can be a bitch.I saw Zeppelin 4 times live. The first time they were great, in 1968 when their first album came out the last three they just sucked live.
but you said they sucked 3x....after 2x why did you go a third?....thats what i am asking....The first time they were great. Than Jimmy found heroin and became very sloppy.

Love them both but, IMO, the Beatles were not a "rock" band.
well i got what i got from one of the Isleys.....here is a quote from Jimi himself.....No he was fired for upstaging them. I got that from Buddy Miles who played on Band of Gypsies.
" one of the Isley Brothers heard me playing in a club and said he had a job open. So I played with the Isley Brothers for a while, and they used to make me do my thing (play with my teeth, etc.), because it made them more bucks or something. Most groups I was with didn’t let me do my own thing,” Hendrix wrote.
He rocked with the famous soul group for a few months, recording and performing on stages around the U.S. “I quit the Isley Brothers in Nashville. I got tired of playing in the key of F all the time, so I turned in my white mohair silk suit and patent leather shoes and began playing on street corners again.”..............Ronald and Ernie Isley have done several interviews praising Hendrix and his talent. They said he stayed in their mother’s house for two years and the brothers once gifted him with a brand new, left-handed guitar.
The Isley Brothers Gave Jimi Hendrix One of His First Major Gigs
On his ascent to superstardom, Jimi Hendrix played backing guitarist for a number of bands, including the legendary Isley Brothers.
