Led Zeppelin is so good that I don’t really care that Jimmy Page locked a 14 year old in his hotel room for two months

from more original artists

they were a commercial supergroup proposition from the outset

you know that they wouldn't sign a record deal if they were forced to release singles, they made it clear that they were an album band lmao. they became commercial to you because radio stations started overplaying them.
just listen to whole lotta love, it has very avant garde composition.

they wouldn't sign a record deal if they were forced to release singles, they made it clear that they were an album band lmao

Yes, very much a 'we are le serious self-directed artists' move. Well done, Pagey.

it has very avant garde composition

Thank you Willie Dixon and the Small Faces

It was Page's use of a cello bow on an electric guitar that was avant garde.

All previous iterations of the melody were nothing particularly interesting or notice worthy other then being a typical blues song.

Sounds good when Jimmy does it

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not his fault.
And if it was, he didn't mean it.
And if he did, she deserved it.

He earned it

Well she liked it and never pressed charges so…

He should not have done that

She was; then she was 14.

JPJ and Plant were cool and I've got nothing against them. Both were married with kids. But nearly every good 60s/70s band had at least one member who was sleeping with underage groupies. To be fair most french philosopher's as well as film directors were doing the same thing. It must just be a euro thing or something.

Robert Plant literally talked about fucking girls who were barely 18 and were the "best fucks" or something like that, yeah, a real trad family guy

Pedo was a guy that wanted to fuck literal infants back then

Fucking 13 years olds and up was seen at the time the exact same as fucking 18 year olds nowadays. Somebody might raise a brow but that'sabout it

I didn't say Plant wasn't fucking groupies or doing tons of drugs. He was, but there's no evidence he had a 14 year old girlfriend or anything similar. If you think there is something wrong with a guy in his early 20s having sex with 18 year olds then you are a massive retard. Grow up

Why do zoomers care SO MUCH about streaming numbers? If I like it I like it. Kill yourself.

The truth of the matter is that Lori Maddox keeps changing up her story constantly and can never stay consistent. While there’s at least pictures of her with Page the shit she talks about with Bowie is guaranteed to be bullshit because the story has changed so often. Her age keeps fluctuating, she can’t decide if she lost her virginity to Bowie or Page, somehow she’s both lost her virginity to Bowie alone and sometimes in a threesome with her friend, and suspiciously she always shills her modelling agency when she tells these stories. They don’t hold up to scrutiny.

They mog your shitty hipster bands where they sing about being low t

Talentless hack

in the 2000s the teen starlets were all dating grown men. hillary duff dated the good charlotte guy when she was 16 and he was like 27 or something. even that's pretty crazy by today's standards and wasn't that long ago.

Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page are sitting in a dimly lit, vintage London pub, nursing their pints.

Pete: You know, Jimmy, I've been thinking about this… inspiration. It's been crucial to so much of my work. The Who would be nothing without it.

Jimmy: nods I know what you mean, Pete. The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, it's all… connected. It's all part of this… gestures vaguely darker side of the moon. The side that makes the music more… profound.

Pete: nods eagerly Exactly, Jimmy! It's like we've both been tapping into this… primal energy. The energy of youth, of innocence. And we've been using it to create something… more.

Jimmy: smiles It's like we've both been painting our masterpieces with the same… brush. winks

Pete: nods, taking a sip of his pint You know, Jimmy, this… inspiration has been vital to so much of my work. The Who's music, especially Tommy and Quadrophenia, they're filled with these… themes. I just never had anyone to talk to about it, you know? It's a lonely old road, this one.

Jimmy: nods solemnly I know what you mean, Pete. I've found that my own… muses have inspired some of my best work with Led Zeppelin. "Whole Lotta Love," "Black Dog," they're all… pauses, searching for the right word informed by these experiences. But like you, I've never had anyone to discuss it with. It's a shame we didn't realize we had so much in common sooner. We could've collaborated years ago.

Pete: You know, Jimmy, I've been thinking about this… I've got this new project, see? It's a bit… unconventional. I need to, uh, "borrow" some inspiration from the youth of today. Tween girls, to be precise.

Jimmy: raises an eyebrow Tween girls, Pete? That's a bit… specific.

Pete: chuckles Well, you know, inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes. So, I was wondering, as a fellow… experienced gentleman, if you had any tips on how to, say, tie them up without leaving any marks? And maybe, you know, make sure they can't… scream?

Jimmy: takes a sip of his pint, considering Well, Pete, I must say, I'm not one to judge. We've all got our… unique tastes. But I must advise, be careful with those young'uns. They're not as naive as they seem. leaning in Now, for the tying up part, have you considered silk scarves? They're strong, yet soft. And you can always say it's part of some… game.

Pete: nods Good point, good point. I could say it's a… rock 'n' roll initiation ritual.

Jimmy: chuckles And for the screaming part, well, I've found that a good old-fashioned gag does the trick. Something soft, though. You don't want to hurt them, after all. winks Use silk scarves. They're soft, don't leave marks, and they're easy to untie if things get… heated.

Pete: (Nods) Good thinking, Jimmy. I've got a closet full of those from my days with The Who. Now, what about… lowers his voice you know, hiding your tracks? I don't want the old bill knocking on my door.

Jimmy: Ah, now that's a subject I know a thing or two about. leaning in You see, Pete, it's all about the dark web. There are places where you can… acquire certain materials without leaving a trace. But you've got to be careful. wagging a finger No credit cards, no traceable IP addresses. Use a VPN, a burner phone, the works.

Pete: (Impressed) You're like Q from Bond, but for depravity.

Jimmy: (Laughs) Flattery will get you everywhere, Pete. Now, once you've got your VPN, you'll need a browser that respects your privacy. Tor is the gold standard, but it's slow as hell. I prefer something like Tails. It's a live operating system that leaves no trace on your computer.

Pete: Tails, huh? Like the ones I used to wear at Woodstock?

Jimmy: nods Indeed, Pete. Speaking of Woodstock, I never got why you stick with these wimpy mini-humbuckers. Why not go full size? The real thing, yaknow?

Pete: You know, Jimmy, I've always preferred mini-humbuckers. They've got this… bite. This aggression. It's like they're screaming, "You're not going to control me!" laughs Just like I want those little… muses to scream.

Jimmy: smirks Ah, Pete, always drawing parallels between your music and your… extracurricular activities. You know, I've always been more of a P90 man myself. They've got this warmth, this richness. It's like they're saying, "Come closer, let me envelop you." winks

Pete: pauses, considering Well, you see, Jimmy, it's all about the output level. Mini-humbuckers have a lower output, which makes them more forgiving with distortion. It's like… waves his hand …a delicate balance. Too much output, and it's like giving a tween girl too much of that… special tea. winks

Jimmy: raises an eyebrow Special tea, Pete?

Pete: nods You know, the kind that makes them… compliant. pauses But I digress. With mini-humbuckers, you can push your amp harder without it getting too harsh. It's like… searches for the right analogy …like giving them just enough to make them… suggestible, but not so much that they pass out before the… main event.

Jimmy: chuckles I see what you're saying, Pete. It's all about control. And speaking of control, what about your Hiwatt amps? Why not something more… common, like Marshall?

Pete: nods eagerly Ah, Hiwatts. They're like the perfect accomplice, Jimmy. pauses, thinking You see, with Hiwatts, you've got this incredible power, this raw energy. It's like they're saying, "I'm not going to hold back. I'm not going to censor myself." grins Just like I don't want to censor myself with those little… songbirds.

Jimmy: smirks I see where you're going with this, Pete. But you know, you've got to be careful with that power. You don't want to… overwhelm them. pauses, thinking You know, I've found that a little Rohypnol in their drink can do wonders. It's tasteless, odorless, and it's not even illegal in some countries.

trvke

Pete: raises an eyebrow Rohypnol, Jimmy? Isn't that a bit… extreme?

Jimmy: shrugs Only if you're not careful, Pete. You've got to start small. A little bit in their drink, and then wait. They'll relax, they'll trust you. And then, when the time is right… smiles Well, let's just say, you'll have all the time in the world to… practice your riffs.

Pete: nods, considering I see your point, Jimmy. Start small, build up. Like a… guitar solo. laughs But what about the tying up part? I want to make sure they can't… escape.

Jimmy: smiles Ah, the tying up part. You see, the key to a good tie is in the tension. It's like a… guitar string. Too loose, and they'll slip right out. Too tight, and you'll cut off their circulation. shakes his head No, no, you want just the right amount of tension. Enough to keep them in place, but not enough to hurt them. The vibrations, the feedback… it's like a constant… reminder. A constant hum in the back of their minds, saying, "You're mine now. You're not going anywhere."

Pete: grins Well, Jimmy, that's where the EQ comes in. You can scoop the mids, boost the highs and lows. It's like… pauses, thinking …like giving them just enough rope to… tie themselves up with. You want them to feel the tension, but you don't want it to be too much. Too much bass, and it's like they're passed out on the floor. Too much treble, and it's like they're screaming the place down.

Jimmy: laughs You've really thought this through, Pete.

Pete: leaning in, eyes wide You know, Jimmy, I've heard rumors about you and this… incident. With a girl, right? A tween?

Jimmy: sighs, runs a hand through his hair Ah, yes. The "incident". It was all a misunderstanding, Pete. A case of me being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Pete: raises an eyebrow Is that so? Because I heard it was more like the right place at the right time… for you.

Jimmy: leans back in his chair, reminiscing Well, Pete, it wasn't as difficult as you'd think. I mean, I was Jimmy Page, for crying out loud. I could charm the pants off a nun. winks

Pete: chuckles I bet you could. So, what was your method?

Jimmy: It was all about the… presentation, you see. I invited her to this secluded studio, told her it was a special recording session. She was eager, excited even. pauses, smirking Then, once she was settled in, I hit her with the old "I need complete silence for the recording" routine. mimes putting on headphones

Pete: laughs Classic. And then what?

Jimmy: Well, I had this… special chair prepared. winks You know, one of those big, comfy director's chairs? I had it modified with some… restraints. leaning in Just enough to keep her still, but not too tight. shrugs You understand.

Pete: nods Oh, I understand all right. So, you just… strapped her in?

Jimmy: nods Mm-hmm. And then I played her some… "special" music. smirking You know, to set the mood. "Whole Lotta Love" on repeat, if I recall correctly.

Pete: laughs Of course it was. "Action speak louder than words, baby." quotes the lyrics

Jimmy: laughs Exactly, Pete. Exactly. And then, well, the rest is history. pauses, then leans in But remember, Pete, it's all about consent. winks

Pete: laughs Right, right. Consent. pauses, then shakes his head You know, I've thought about doing something similar. I mean, look at "Substitute." Those lyrics are practically begging for it. "I look all white, but my dark side's growing all the time." quotes the lyrics

Jimmy: nods Indeed, Pete. Indeed. But you've got to be careful. You don't want to end up like poor old Tommy. winks

Pete: laughs Right, right. "I'm one, I'm two, I'm three, I'm four…" quotes the lyrics from "The Acid Queen" I don't want to be the one getting acid thrown in my face.

And neither did anyone in the 70s.

Jimmy: chuckles Exactly, Pete. Exactly. But if you ever decide to take the plunge, just remember: silk scarves, soft gags, and always, always leave a way out. raises his pint

Pete: (Grinning) Thanks, Jimmy. You're a lifesaver. Or rather, a… cover-up-er.

Jimmy: (Laughs) Anytime, Pete. Just remember, I never said anything.

Pete: (Gives a mock salute) Your secret's safe with me, Jimmy. After all, we've both got our… indiscretions to protect.

Jimmy: raises his glass To control, Pete. And to the youthful muse. May she always inspire us. they clink glasses and continue their conversation, laughing and sharing stories, the sounds of their iconic music filling the air.

This whole schtick is beyond played out (I know what good music is =I'm better than you LMAO), pure archaic Neanderthal '96 energy.

Still, don't stop with the lesser known good stuff. My ears were formed by Zep from the womb and no matter how based it was back then I need new playlists.

I don’t really care that Jimmy Page locked a 14 year old in his hotel room for two months

does anyone?
