Do you ever wonder what Axl would sound like on Zeppelin material?

[FuddMckagan]

Axl on Black Dog would be cool.

zeppelin = most overrated ever

[bacardimayne]

Hey this is where I say Nobodys Fault but Mine for the first time.

What about Zepp covering TWAT?

Would've been amazing about 30 years ago.

This was just what I was about to say.

But I will also give you this beautiful version of "Dyer Maker", courtesy of Lady Gaga; it's a great song and I wish Axl covered it!

Yes I do wonder that at times. Axl covering Zeppelin would sound better than the originals

not possible.

[Vincent Vega]

Axl was actually turned down by a punk rock band in the early 80s because they told him he sounded too much like Robert Plant.

And Plant, by the time of Physical Graffiti, had a rasp to his voice like Axl (because he, like Axl, had nodules). Listen to Ten Years Gone.

Plant had surgery sometime in 1974 or 1975 to remove the nodules, which left his voice sounding as different as it does on Presence and In Through the Out Door.

Listen to Plant at Live Aid in 1985. He sounds like Axl at the 02 VMAs.

Definitely not possible. If he could he would probably cover a tune or two.

Thx. I think Zepp is the easiest fit. I guess they did rock n roll cos it has the most fire which suits Axl. Maybe they could bring that back like Rosie.

34. Disappointed - PiL

Perfect song for Axl , very Sorry.

[J Dog]

I think he would fit in well on quite a few Zep songs.

Axl was actually turned down by a punk rock band in the early 80s because they told him he sounded too much like Robert Plant.

And Plant, by the time of Physical Graffiti, had a rasp to his voice like Axl (because he, like Axl, had nodules). Listen to Ten Years Gone.

Plant had surgery sometime in 1974 or 1975 to remove the nodules, which left his voice sounding as different as it does on Presence and In Through the Out Door.

Plant's ability to hit the high notes was greatly diminished from late 1972 onwards as Led Zep toured Japan, UK, Europe and finally the USA. His voice became gradually rougher as one can tell between the two live albums "How the West Was Won" and "The Song Remains the Same."

In 1973 and 75, his voice cracked frequently as well during tours. Plant probably lost his ability to scream at will and sustain his falsetto - so yes, although he did not lose his voice per se, his voice was altered through the nodules in his throat (as posted above); singing technique which probably wore his voice out; and age.

Gradually, he adopted a more cautious singing style throughout. Although he was able to scream out songs like Rock and Roll in 1998, he continued to have problems with songs like Ramble On where he would crack repeatedly on certain notes.

By the O2 tour in Dec 2007, he had lowered the keys to many of Zep's songs. Plant's ability to hit certain high notes has been inconsistent over the years.

[WhatsHerface]

I think he'd sound awesome on a few tunes, yeah. B)

Is this safe to watch?

from this thread I'm obsessed with them doing Rock n Roll again. Ron would probably see many rainbows.

I'm not sure who you are reffering to with "them".

Guns have been playing rock, haven't they? Better etc..

But it's safe, just go ahead and press the play button. Don't cover your ears. I actually really like it, and Gaga looks a lot cuter/ better than she does today too.

[chevelle]

That's because she looked human back then.

[wasted]

Them as in current GNR.

Actually it's great, Dyer Maker is one I thought Axl would have done.

35. Dyer Maker

Riad is basically Immigrant Song.
