I (heart) Zepplin

Post by Gob »

There have been some mighty horrible renditions of Led Zeppelin‘s Stairway To Heaven, but when Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart performed the song in front of the three remaining members of the legendary British rock band at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony on Dec. 2, it made Robert Plant cry tears of joy.

(The band was being honoured by President Barack Obama alongside David Letterman and Dustin Hoffman.)

Watch it and understand why. When the choir kicks in and Ann Wilson wails Plant’s famous “And as we wind on down the road…” you might shed a tear or two yourself.

“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Don't envy the guy playing lead in front of Pagey.

Bahhhhh!!

Jimmy Page was a sloppy studio musician.

Van Halen changed music forever!!

I was told that by a guy that works for the US government and studied Van Halen so he knows what he's talking about.

"not to mention that aside from Jimmy page, the only other guitarist I cover as extensively as I do," as an idiot once said.

Ann is a barge. A Whale!

Holy cow! I bet her car insurance goes up due to the additional "throw weight".

Someone needs to tell her about amphetamines.

Wow!

Sheeeeit! When did adolescent slop-pop make it into the canon? Pure juvenalia. This is the kind of thing that makes me embarrassed for my generation.

And they in turn are embarrassed of you
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

It was the hats that got me.... that and the mangled warble of the last line. Did no one else actually listen to it?
