Jimmy Page even has admitted he never used a producer to make it clear it was he and the band that were 'the sound'. Not the engineers etc...
Face it how many bands have cut records using the stones mobile unit?hundreds of bands? and hundreds of bands THAT DON'T SOUND LIKE Zep. The Stones used the same gear and they were half
the sound as zep if even that. Which proves it was the players not the gear.
I love how everyone attributes the sound of the band to the gear and glyn jones. How many Zep recordings have you heard including live? BBC? Live through 57's and MSG? through a shit P.A. ? Still always sounded the same, like Led Zeppelin and huge I might add. Didn't Kid Rock record his first record on the helios desk Zep used? His disk doesn't sound like a zep record not even close
the gear had nothing to do with it, not with zep. |
you are funny.
"glyn jones" huh?
who's that, the love child of JPJ and glyn johns??
the acoustic guitar sound for "thats the way" sounds DRASTICALLy different on the BBC session compared to led zep III.
do a quick A/B and tell me im wrong.
this is just one example among many that make your assertion inaccurate.
to say the gear had nothing to do with it is plain wrong.
their records all sound quite different and certainly the gear and engineers certainly play some role. certainly page was interested in using certain gear for certain sonic reasons.
why does some twit always have to come into a perfectly interesting thread and say the cliche, "the gear has nothing to do with the sound"?
rubbish.
