Why do people "hate" Led Zeppelin?

[Cubecubed]

I'm the other way. I like some of their slower, trippy songs, it's their rockers that I'm not a fan of.

<3 No Quarter.My Favorite Zeppelin Song.

[ImHotterThanYou]

Comparing them to Gods like this is what makes people hate them. Everything else is right, but that statement is just... wrong.
Its a known title for LZ he didn't come up with that on his own.

[Teh_Jakester]

Its a known title for LZ he didn't come up with that on his own.

I never said he did.

[TheCrimsonSaint]

Known title or not, it's a terrible misnomer. Especially for this band.

[ImHotterThanYou]

Known title or not, it's a terrible misnomer. Especially for this band.

haha

[xTerp]

They're not bad but I never got all the praise about them. They just seem like your average rock band to me.

[classicrockdude]

Known title or not, it's a terrible misnomer. Especially for this band.

Led Zeppelin>you

[TheCrimsonSaint]

Led Zeppelin>you

That's laughable at best.

but it's soo true

[Lily_Mu]

I liked the Abnormality thread more. It was more LOL. This is too SRS.

[aander91]

I think they're good musically, their singer is really great. But it's just one of those bands that people go to when they really like something that they think won't be accepted by their peers or if they just haven't really found something that they actually like. A lot of people who have iPods and just load up songs from every band that might be popular with at least 5 people in the general vicinity have Zepplin, so if you say that you like them when you might not or really haven't found something that you REALLY like, no one is going to ask questions.

wat

[xTerp]

People first listen to Zeppelin to look cool since they haven't discovered their own musical taste yet? Not that it makes sense but I think that's what's trying to be said. If so, I disagree.

Thats so deeeep dude.

Your RB name is a lie. :mad: ;)

[Reckoning Nite]

In my opinion, I think a good number of people (although I don't seem to find any of these people...) don't like Led Zepplin just because the sound is somewhat of an aquired taste. For instance, if you don't like the singer's voice, the way he sings in one song, in Zepplin's case, you probably won't like the rest of their songs. Don't get me wrong, the singer's voice is down-right legendary and amazing in my opinion, but needless to say some people still don't care for that taste.

So, lemme get this straight, you listen to music based on wanting to be excepted by your peers, who don't give 2 ****s what you listen to?
Isn't that kinda contradicting everything we discuss on these forums?

Cause that sean guy hates LZ.

Sean. You know, the guy who's hiding behind your computer monitor.

[Rockbandfan23467]

I don't see any Sean's behind my monitor.

hmxsean

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

There is no way he hates Led Zeppelin.

And he definitely would not express that on a public forum for a game that is trying to bend over backwards to get their music in it.

[cherokeesam]

Sean who?

Sean Astin....???
The hobbit???

[Zidane]

Sean John I believe. He did kill Led Zeppelin if you remember.

[SisterRay]

I bet many people hate Led Zeppelin was because they were great and still popular. Some people hate Led Zeppelin because of how they blatantly ripped off full blues songs.

I like Led Zeppelin but I don't know if they were important to Heavy Metal as Black Sabbath was.

[classicrockdude]

I don't know if they were important to Heavy Metal as Black Sabbath was.

I think they are just as important IMO

Both were very influential. Zep came a bit before sabbath and was alot more well known and popular so they probably reached out to more people influence wise. Also both had some dark sounding songs that were not popularized or heard in mainstream before them. The whole stereotypical satanic metal thing also started with both of them along with the stones.

[classicrockdude]

I think Deep Purple and Uriah Heep are just as important in metal as Zeppelin and Sabbath

They influenced loads of Metal bands, but Black Sabbath were the first full-on Metal band. So, Sabbath win!

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

This is basically the way I see it. Hendrix, Deep Purple, Cream and others were influential to other metal artists but Black Sabbath are the first band I would consider legitimately metal.

Sabbath were a lot darker than Zepp though. Zepp's contribution to metal lyrically would be along the lines of the fantastical rather than the satanic. Vikings, plunder, that sort of thing.

True, but outside of lyrics Zeppelin had a pretty satanic image especially for a band that popular.

[Lolicat]

True, but outside of lyrics Zeppelin had a pretty satanic image especially for a band that popular.

Accusations of Satanism may have followed them, but I uphold their mystical symbols, etc fall more into the realm of fantasy. I mean, obviously you'd have to ask someone who made a metal band under teir influence, but I certainly see a thread of their falling into the likes of Trad Heavy and Power metal, but not Doom, Thrash or Black.

[jrcronlakers]

I'm a Zepp fan but I do not worship the ground they walk or care what others think of them.

Van Halen did more for metal than Led Zeppelin did.

Van Halen did more for metal than Led Zeppelin did.

I'm guessing you really like Van Halen. Otherwise there's not really any reason for you to have said that.

I'm guessing you really like Van Halen. Otherwise there's not really any reason for you to have said that.

I could careless for Van Halen. But their guitar work influenced an entire generation and made sure that all metal needed a good guitarist.

I seriously don't think Led Zeppelin was as influential as Deep Purple, UFO or Black Sabbath.

[Lolicat]

... explain.

See my post.

He's going to say that two-handed tapping is super-important or something.

[Zidane]

Something along those lines, yeah-is that a bad thing that Van Halen changed the way people played guitar?

[Lolicat]

Use correct grammar.

As for Eddie's guitar work influencing a generation, not particularly, I don't really see it impacting massively on anything other than '80s glam and sleaze. Sure, it influenced people, but the sound of Van Halen is undiscernable in Trad. Heavy, Thrash, Death, etc.

[franticfish]

If tapping is enough to make your band the most influential to metal then I guess Genesis are sooooo proto-metal amirite?

[Teh_Jakester]

I could careless for Van Halen. But their guitar work influenced an entire generation and made sure that all metal needed a good guitarist.

You say that like Jimmy Page's guitar-work didn't.

[Lolicat]

Whoever said Uriah Heep was right, and Wishbone Ash. Maiden namedrop them often as influences musically.

[Zidane]

It's not incorrect grammar, it's a typo, go back to school. Dave Mustaine found his first bassist because he was doing Van Halen work, so I think it does come into play. Not just that, but even death metal bands talk about how good they were, they may not sound like them but they take his guitar work very seriously.

Also, learn to spell:

You say that like Jimmy Page's guitar-work didn't.

But I'm not saying that. Pit the two against each other in a Metal surrounding and each time you'll get Eddie winning the debate.

Actually the grammar is awful. 'Could care less' is a fallacy if what you mean is that you couldn't care less.

And I'm sure plenty of people think that Eddie's playing was good, but unless it musically influenced them, not that useful in your argument. So Mustaine liked him, great? I don't hear Van Halen in the likes of KK Downing and Glenn Tipton, or Dave Murray and Adrian Smith.

[ImHotterThanYou]

EVH got the tapping idea from page.

When speaking in a conversation it's okay to take things in a metaphorical sense. Ex: I could care less. If I was writing a story and a character used that phrase it would be acceptable because he is using it in a not literal form.

Why would you hear KK Downing in the like with Eddie Van Halen. Not only did they start at different times, but they almost knew nothing of each other until Van Halen played with Black Sabbath and blew them away. We're using metal artists after Eddie Van Halen came into view. That's like me asking Jimmy Page, "How has Eddie Van Halen influenced you?"

[franticfish]

EVH got the tapping idea from page.
But Steve Hackett was tapping before Page.

[Teh_Jakester]

Dave Mustaine found his first bassist because he was doing Van Halen work,

That had nothing to do with Eddie. He was playing the bassline to Runnin' with the Devil, not the guitar-part. And, either way, Dave didn't even like it when he played the bassline (he was so hungover, that it was giving him the worst headache ever). That may have been how they met, but not why Dave chose Dave as his bassist.

I think EVH was influential moreso in rock guitar than Metal guitar, and in soloing. In the forging of 'metal!!!!' as a sound, I think Priest got it there first. Van Halen don't sound like Metal to me, just rock.

[Teh_Jakester]

I'm sorry, I read that wrong-but I do see EVH in withthe likes with the guitarist of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden when people talk about Metal guitar.

No debate there, in the area of "the sound" of course Priest and Maiden will get the most influential win. As for who made you pick up the guitar, EVH would be chosen.

They liked all Metal bands. So there was never any real hate towards one band or another. Metal was their inspiration.

Zakk improved the solo? That makes me want to punch someone in the face. Rargh! *punch* :mad:

Well, I like him. I got this bootleg of him doing this amazing solo, he even put in the theme song from the Munster in the solo. It was great. :D

Exactly! I've been trying to say that for ages, but couldn't find the words.



I don't hang out with people for this reason.

But we have other stuff in common. I can't find anyone to listen to my music though.

At school, I talk to people about videogames, and nothing else. Other things lead to bad places

Video games and boobies.

[Teh_Jakester]

Video games and boobies.

My friends don't talk about female anatomy parts, which sucks. But that's why we have the internet.

That sucks! Boobs are the most important part of High School.

Too bad none of the chicks in my school have them.

Do you go to a dominately asian school like I do?

[ImHotterThanYou]

Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica, Paramour, AC/DC (Johnson-era, of course), and all those annoying, loud, screamy modern bands.
I have straight R&B and Hip-Hop fans at mine.

[Teh_Jakester]

Do you go to a dominately asian school like I do?

Nah, it's all white people. I live in Maine, after all; the whitest state in the union.

[Idiostock]

Nah, it's all white people. I live in Maine, after all; the whitest state in the union.

Oh, I don't know. The whiteness in Houston is usually awful. I do enjoy the aimless racism though.

[ImHotterThanYou]

i live in Baltimore ill let you come to your own conclusions.

[Teh_Jakester]

I know people who are afraid to go into Portland, where there's a bit of ethnic diversity, because they're afraid the black people will steal their vehicles, or even kill them. It's weird.

[supernova1324]

I'm in SoCal, so I get a little bit of everything.

[Teh_Jakester]

I wouldn't mind a bit of diversity, but I couldn't live any further south. I'm dying of heat right now.

[Zidane]

Mmmmmmmmm Asian girls :)

Hell yeah!

I can only imagine that it's worse in northern Maine and Canada.

This sums up my school

[supernova1324]

Mmmmmmmmm Asian girls :)

You had my hopes up, I thought you were Zeleii...

[xTerp]

This sums up my school

+ Slipknot and Disturbed I think sums up most schools.

[Zidane]

Hurm?

[Teh_Jakester]

+ Whatever's on the radio.

[Zidane]

Only people at my school that like Slipknot and Disturbed were just regular guys. They're not rabid or anything.

Freshman year, everyone loved Slipknot and Disturbed. Didn't hear about them all through Sophomore year.

this sums up my brother unfortunately

Punch him in the face for me.

Yep. It's pretty much the stepping stone to finding more music. I hate them now but if I remember correctly I really enjoyed them Freshman year.

And this is why I love being an only child.

[Fizzeler]

And this is why I love being an only child.
It is hard considering our vast differences in tastes :(

[JukeBoxHero]

I'm not sure about my school I think it split into the following music "factions."

Mainstream Radio Listeners
Scene Kids
"Classic" Rock Fans
Normal Rock Listeners(They are a mix between mainstream radio listeners and classic rock fans).
Hip Hop Wannabes
Rushians(Very small group that consists of my friends that really dig Rush, yeah it's a poor joke).
Myself

I'm not trying to be egotistical but I don't exactly fit into those factions besides the "Rushian" one. :D

Classic rock fans don't like Rush at your school?

[MrFruitLord]

To get back on topic: Led Zeppelin is overrated.

[Squaretriangles]

Rushians(Very small group that consists of my friends that really dig Rush, yeah it's a poor joke).


Hello, fellow Rushian.

"Rushian" would make an awesome custom title.

[franticfish]

To get back on topic: Led Zeppelin is overrated.
Lol at how incredibly off topic this thread became.

[JukeBoxHero]

Classic rock fans don't like Rush at your school?

A few dig them a bit but most of them dig a small part of the southern rock movement, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Beatles, and sometimes The Who.

Square:Yeah that would be an awesome title, Jhail would definitely get a title like that on here if he posted more.

Weird, the Classic Rock fans at my school, me and my friends, liked Rush. Maybe not the most, but we like them.

Nah, a great deal of the love is showered upon AC/DC.

[franticfish]

When I went to school/college the main groups were:
People who listen The Killers, Artic Monkeys and all that
1 or 2 Cannibal Corpse fans who thought they were so br00tal and METHUUL I tried getting them into Death but it didnt work
People who just didn't listen to music very much
And one dude who liked classic rock but I introduced him into prog, death metal and other genres; now he's kinda got the same taste as me.

Off-topic, but is that an Ahkmed avatar I see? Win.

Yep. I need to explore the album more since I think I've only listened to it once.
