Mais comme le disait un des "Defenders", à la FNAC, c'est du n'importe quoi, et de plus , dans ma ville, ils n'ont aucune connaissance musicale...(J'ai commandé dernièrement un Mercyful Fate, et le vendeur m'a soutenu qu'il y avait 2 "L" à Mercyful. Je l'ai carrément incendié, mais résultat des courses, il n'a pas été capable de me commander mon disque).

STEELER a écrit :Tout à fait d'accord avec toi, RazorFlash. LZ étaient des pionniers, et ils ont étonné tout le monde au fil de leurs albums très variés. Ils regroupent des fans dans toutes les catégories (Blues, Rock, Hard Rock), et n'ont jamais voulu être catalogués dans un Style, ce qui, par conséquent fait leur notoriété, et illustre leur talent.

UG: What was it like working with Led Zeppelin in the studio?

Brown: "The full band were there - John Bonham, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and east end heavy, Peter Grant, with a couple of minders. Peter was vast, probably 20 stone, and had difficulty squeezing into the luxurious, high-backed leather chairs that were positioned on the riser behind the Helios desk. To me he appeared very seedy, with thinning long hair, sweaty skin and ill-fitting clothes. He dealt with me and the other minions around him in an off-hand manner and gave off a somewhat threatening vibe. Control room 2 was not a large room, measuring only 15 by 20 feet. With the brown-carpeted walls on the floor and ceiling, dull lighting, desk and machines, nine people (band, manager, minders, myself and an assistant) and this strange aggressive attitude, the sessions were immediately claustrophobic and scary.

The members of the band, apart from Bonham, had long flowing curly hair - looking like Jesus or some Greek gods. Jones was friendly and polite and on another planet altogether. Bonham and Plant were relaxed and relatively easy to deal with, but Page was dark, moody and difficult. I found him particularly hard to communicate with. He was self-centered and into some form of weird spiritual crap. A great fan of the writings of Aleister Crowley, he owned Crowley’s old residence, Boleskine house.

We worked mainly on two songs; 'Four Sticks' and 'Stairway To Heaven'. The backing tracks had drums, bass and some electric guitars already recorded and there were good vocals on both tracks. We spent most of our time working on 'Stairway To Heaven' - trying out flute parts on the introduction with John Paul Jones and overdubbing guitar ideas and solos with Jimmy Page. We worked on lead guitar parts to 'Stairway To Heaven' endlessly, trying out different styles, sounds and effects. We tried the guitar through Leslie, desk distortion and various pedals and recorded takes continuously. The guitar overdubs took days to perform and get right. Listening to the final version of 'Stairway To Heaven', it’s hard to imagine how bad some of the playing and tuning was. There were many loose timing mistakes and wrong notes from Page, and the control room atmosphere remained intense.

There was very little direct communication from any of the band, and having Peter Grant sitting beside me did not help. I found him belligerent and rude, and aware of the many stories about Grant’s well-known bullyboy techniques, I was disturbed by his presence. On his death in 1996 there were glowing obituaries in newspapers and music magazines, describing him as 'always being on the side of the artist' and 'fair.' I would have first hand knowledge of this so-called 'fair' attitude to artists later, while working with JEFF BECK.

The sessions with Zeppelin were long, with no convenient breaks and I would be at the desk for some 15 to 18 hours a day. I had to maintain a constant high level of concentration and vigilance during this time - it was not easy. You couldn’t fuck up on projects like these. It was very tiring and the severe atmosphere generated by Peter, his minders and the band, did not leave me with warm memories. I thought Page was a good guitarist but not on a par with Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton. I was relieved when the Zeppelin sessions were over and I could return to projects that were more laidback and easygoing."

According to The Sunday Times, LED ZEPPELIN guitar legend Jimmy Page is holed up in a west London studio remastering every Led Zeppelin LP tentatively due for release sometime in 2013, which coincides with the band's 45th anniversary when the band changed their name from the NEW YARDBIRDS in 1968.

Page told Mojo: "There are a number of Led Zeppelin projects that will come out next year because there are different versions of tracks that we have that can be added to the album so there will be box sets of material that will come out, starting next year. There will be one box set per album with extra music that will surface."

The remasters will feature redesigned artwork by Los Angeles-based artist Shepard Fairly.

Jimmy Page has confirmed that the upcoming LED ZEPPELIN album reissues include previously unreleased material.

"Each of the albums has been remastered but it also has a companion disc with it," the guitarist told TeamRock Radio's Nicky Horne earlier tonight (Thursday, November 14) at the ninth annual Classic Rock Roll Of Honour at London, England's Roundhouse (hear audio below). "Let's take, for example, 'Led Zeppelin III' — that's remastered from analog from the original thing. I know everybody does that, but what they don't do.. I revisited all the working mixes that were done at the time."

He continued: "There's different versions. Say, for example, there's 'Since I've Been Loving You' — there's an incredible version of that which is totally different, it's really raw in its approach, it's quite dramatic, it's cool. That's one little item of it, but what it gives is a companion disc to 'Led Zeppelin III'. It'll come out in its own box and all the rest of it. Each disc will give a really intimate picture of the group. That's the idea that I've had with it and I think it's successful."

Page also revealed that he has completed work on the audio portion of the reissue production process.

"It's all done, all the sonic side of it," he said.

He added: "It'll come out next year. When I say 'it' — each box comes out separately."

Asked if the reissues will contain any unreleased material, Page replied: "Oh yeah. I can't tell you [what it is]… It's got to be a little bit of a surprise, I can't give all the games away."

Page, who produced all of LED ZEPPELIN's live and studio albums, has served as the band's chief archivist and personally oversaw the remastering of the band's catalogue back in the nearly '90s.

In a 2012 interview with Mojo magazine, Page explained, "There are a number of LED ZEPPELIN projects that will come out next year because there are different versions of tracks that we have that can be added to the album so there will be box sets of material that will come out, starting next year. There will be one box set per album with extra music that will surface."
