And yes, Plant did put out mostly bombs in his solo career (though "Tall Cool One" and "Big Log" were pretty decent, IMO), but we're talking about Led Zeppelin and what they've contributed to rock -- not solo efforts. Besides, do you think Jagger's solo effort back in the 80's was any better than Plant's? Bet you can't name one song off the top of your head that he did on his own... btw -- Page himself put out some pretty good shit post-Zep with The Firm (with the great Paul Rodgers of Bad Co. fame on vocals) if you remember. Ever hear "Radioactive" or "Satisfaction Guaranteed?" And at least Zep's not still running around stage (or should I say "hobbling?") as a band, trying to act like a bunch of twenty-year olds. They know how embarrassing that would be. Jagger himself -- though admitting in a seventies interview that he'd look ridiculous performing live after age 40 -- apparently let his lust for $$$ get the best of him in this regard. |

Hoax, did you ever see "The Full Monty"? The English guys standing in the unemployment line all started dancing to "Hot Stuff" at the same time? Hilarious. Many of us "Aryans" back then danced to that stuff (with some lubrication). The Stones had some great dance tunes, along side the kick-ass rock and roll stuff...sometimes one and the same! Greatness! Zeppelin was for sitting around smokin the doobs reflectin on how great Zeppelin was. Two different things! |

The Mummy can still do some licks. Where is Pagey? Too dignified to perform? Can't? |

How embarrassing: to be hooked on crack at what?...61, 62 years of age? I'd imagine that Page, knowing that he isn't quite the guitar god he once was, has had the decency to let that Les Paul sit undisturbed in a corner of his house somewhere... Apparently he still has a sense of pride, unlike you know who. |

As far as The Stones having "some great dance tunes" goes, hey, I say they were just cashing in on the disco craze of the late 70's. Understand this, and you'll understand The Stones: they'll do anything for a buck. Mick the Miser's got quite a rep as a businessman in rock circles. As I've said -- at one time the band may have been more into the music than the money, but not anymore. It's $$$ all the way for these guys, baby. |

Gloat, gloat...
Whoops! Looks like that shoddy showing for The Stones is eroding even further, huh, Key? It was about 25% for a while...
aww... (sadistic bastard...ain't I? heh heh!)

Rumor has it that Jimmy is cooking up a solo effort, or at least contemplating it. If so, it may not replicate the glory of Achilles - but you can bet the coon tune it'll at least be far better than anything Ramses strangles from his geetar with those natron-dessicated digits.
As for Brian Johnson, he strikes me as a real straight-up bloke. In an interview, he tells about getting his first royalty check: "Our house was mortgaged to the hilt - and this guy at the building society was always on at us - a real git. So I went in there with 30,000 pounds cash and laid it on the table and said 'Never phone me again, you piece of shit...." :cheers: The Young brothers also seem to be great little guys; not an ounce of rock star poseur between 'em. |

The Stones made very solid rock and roll after BJ, probably their best. Probably the best ever. I can see folks listening to the Stones in 30 years. Zeppelin? Wherever people idle about and listen to Zep (it's the only thing you can do whilst listening to them), and respectfully murmer how great they were...they will be playing. Quote:

"Heeey, we're gonna get down now with some....Satis-...fac-...tion, fellow babies!" "Fellow babies"? Where the hell did he come up with that crap?! Oh, and btw -- speaking of "deficiencies", The Geritol Gang should be worrying more about about their iron deficiencies these days...don't ya think? I also hear tell the makers of "Depends" have asked Mick to be an official spokesman for their product. Think he'll do it? Big $$$ in that..."shit", you know.

Ya. Tell you what, I just heard "Tush" on the radio and I'll probably be listening to that in 30 years if I live that long. Perfect 2:00 of seering blues, that is. Billy Gibbons can fucking play when he's not fooling around. |

Now, enough of ZZ, you master of the red herring toss -- let's get back to the real subject at hand: Zep vs. The Stones...

It just so happens I have like 8 CDs by ZZtop and I have had the great pleasure of seeing them live. Through a Jack Daniels induced haze, I saw them, but mightily enjoyed the occasion.
Their best song from the more recent era is the one about Mississippi. |
