What we wanted for Xmas 1976

[Sean]

Oh god, reading Quaddy's replies to this, and knowing who Sean mailed and quoted, is so fucking funny it's hurting...

's good innit?

[loCAtek]

Here's some REAL guitar playing.....now shaddup!

Orale vatos!

The reason Quadriver might be confused about the originals on Zep 1 could be that many of the songs are other peoples but credited to Pagey as arranger. [Name withheld by request]

If he knew who was telling him this, he's be rather shocked I think.

But still seeing as Pig Dog is rampantly proving my assertion that his ability with the English language is kneecapping him, I'll just sit back and wee myself laughing at him.

[Crackpot]

I am so tempted to try to get that name out of you

Damn your interrogative powers CP.

Okay, okay... It's Elvis Presley. He works in a chipshop here.

I though tit was Robert Plant

[Sean]

Well he said he was Elvis...

[loCAtek]

While White, Elvis wasn't evil...

Zep 1 was mainly left overs from Page's stint in the Yardbrirds, and reworking of blues standards.

Fat boy then goes on to prove me right.

Only if refuting every 'fact' is proving you right. typical gobism, get your ass kicked then pretend it didnt happen.

and to whomever wrote it, no, it was not plant he wrote.

You didn't refute any facts, you verified what I had said. It's not our fault you have such a poor grasp of English.

and to whomever wrote it, no, it was not plant he wrote.

A fine example of that.

[Crackpot]

I think he's using a translation program.

What I wanted for Christmas in 1976? That's an easy one!



Make mine a 455/4-speed with A/C, "Honeycomb" wheels, 3.08 limited-slip axle, cruise control, and solid roof...preferably in silver over black.

Actually, forget that, I'll take a (used) 1974 T/A, with the fire-breathing Super Duty 455 under the hood!

the 73 was better yanno, and VERY underrated at 310hp advertised.....

73 and 74 SD were mechanically identical...and the 74 had the better front clip.

Im sorry Jarl, I had looked at the pic (and given the title of the thread) recognized that as a 76, I never read your 74 comment below when I posted that a 73 would be a better choice. Yes, you are right, the 73/74 SD engines were exactly the same. HOwever, skip AC and the CMG code axle (3.42) was available...

[dales]

Did Robert Plant drive one of these crapmobiles?

[Lord Jim]

[Gob]

Dales, if he did it would be a gold plated one, with hot and cold running groupies and a turbocharged coke dispenser...

But I don't want the 3.42 axle, I want the 3.08 (or the 2.73 if I can get it). The 455 has plenty of grunt to pull the tall gears, despite the fact that Pontiac somehow managed to build a two-ton Firebird in 1974. (And actually, A/C wasn't available with the 4-speed on a Super Duty.)

Worth noting also is that Led Zep didn't really hit the "pace changers" criteria fully until Zep 2. Zep 1 was mainly left overs from Page's stint in the Yardbrirds, and reworking of blues standards.

Now that I'm home;

Communication breakdown: Nicked the ostinato from Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown"
Good times bad times: original.
Your time is going to come: Based on a Bach fugue played by Jones
How many more times: Ripped off from "How many more years" by Howlin Wolf, includes snatches from Albert King's"The Hunter." The bass riff is taken from The Yardbirds reworking of "Smokestack Lightening" (Also has some riffs from Kisses Sweeter than Wine", Jimmy Rodgers, bizarre.)
Babe I'm going to leave you: Reworking of a traditional tune, Joan Baez used a fair bit, originally recreated by A Bredon.
Dazed and Confused: Written by Jake Holmes, originally played with Relf and McCarty in The Yardbirds, a highlight of The Yardbirds show, credited to "Jake Holmes arranged by The Yardbirds" on the "Little Games" CD
Black Mountain Slide: Reworking of Page's Yardbirds number "White Summer." Also borrows from Bert Jansch (one of my favourite folk guitarists, ) "Black Water Slide". Legal clearance for it to be included on the album took ages to get .
I can't quit you baby: Willy Dixon. This and "You shook me" were released by Jeff Beck around that time, Page has been accused of nicking stuff from him for these tracks.

Just found this while looking at stuff on youtube;
