Black Zeppelin

[Jen Ronnfeldt]

Inthe interview, he discusses the "Black Zeppelin" session that supposedly took place in the 1970s. Zeppelin apparently hung out in the studio with Sabbath, and Bonzo went crazy on the song 'Supernaut'. This has been a rumor for years, as I'm sure you know.

We spoke with Bill Ward and he discussed some pretty detailed accounts of the day's events, shining some light on an otherwise whispered-about dream for most classic rock fans. Apparently, it DID happen, and it sounds remarkable.

Check out our interview here - -mystery-of-the-black-zeppelin-sessions-revealed/ and feel free to share the link around! We're excited about the interview, and hope you all enjoy it too. We're all fans, after all.

Although simple, the riff has a balanced, kinetic and insistent quality, which is lacking in most of the other bone-crushing and often disjointed songs from their classic period (i.e. up to Sabotage, which happens to be my favourite).

In 1965, Bill Ward (who was then the drummer for The Rest) first saw John Bonham, who was performing at The Wharf in Worcester. Bill recalls "...he had a pint of bitter at his feet throughout..." Ozzy Osbourne also socialized with Bonham throughout the '70s.

I agree with you 100% on the powerful part, I also find myself needing LZ in good times and bad times (), Led Zeppelin does gives me that energy right when I need it, and no other band is able to do that.

But, many other kids, just like today.... simply went for the "Pop"ular music of the day.... Herman's Hermits, Simon & Garfunkel, Sonny & Cher, and the like, and then there was the other folks, the "goat-ropers" as they were called, who obviously listened to country music.

Back in the late 80's, someone I knew from work, was intrested in Zeppelin, especially the live bootlegs, which I did not have any number of. But I gave him copies of what I had. The man was black, and he was about, maybe 25 years old. It wasn't too long after this that the Puff Daddy / Jimmy Page collaboration happened with "Kashmir / Come With Me" for the Godzilla movie. And let me say.... I LIKE that collaboration. Others here have a knee-jerk reaction to it l..... but not me....

The "Kashmir/Come With Me" that P. Diddy perfoms in his concerts, is, more powerful than the half-assed lame version that Page & Plant delivered on their outing, which fell way short of the Led Zeppelin powerful version ( SORRY Folks... that's just the way it was.........).

Welcome to the board! Good for you for standing up for yourself and listening to what you enjoy and don't care what others think, I am the exact same way! That is the best thing about music, no matter what genre, it is what moves you and no other band moves me like Zeppelin either!

....2Cool...it takes a extra ordinary human being to challenge society...of course there are other reasons why we are insecure about opposite cultures...but we use reasons, like music, here, to get back at each other....I too was raised in culturally diverse environment and I do understand your viewpoint...it is insecurity more than anything else........

Welcome. Interesting story but not surprising, as a white male I suffered similiar judgements from my friends because I liked a lot of black musicians when I was young. It's pretty sad that so many people see something as unifying and spiritual as music by the color of the skin of those who create it or by the style by which it is known. It really matters not. What other bands and musicians do you like?

I understand 2cool I'm a 41 year old black Zeppelin just two days short of my forty second birthday. I caught alot of shit from Black people, Latinos and White people for over 35 years because I listen to rock. I grew up in a all white neighborhood. For over 25 years any person that has given me any shit about the music that I listen too I just tell them to eat shit and die. Because this is the United States of America and everybody has freedom of choice. I have had alot of conflicts and still have conflicts about the music that I listen to. but I really don't care. Ever since I really got into Zeppelin back when I was in highschool Zeppelin has been my favorite band. If it wasn't for Jimmy Page I never would have contiue to play guitar past the 80's. Jimmy Page is my favorite guitarist. I listen to alot of different bands and artists suck as Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who, The Allman Brothers Band, James Brown, Muddy Waters, Johnny Cash, Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder, UFO, Cream, Miles Davis, Rush, Curtis Mayfield, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Dream Theater, Jeff Beck, Prince and ect. Music is not about the color of a person's skin.

There's nothing wrong with this. I honestly wish there were more black people who listened to Led Zeppelin today. I just cannot grasp the whole swarming over rap. Very glad to see you here, I just joined myself. No more than 2 hours ago lol.

Zeppelin enjoys an excellent reputation globally in the rubber industry, built on renowned technical innovations. These include its patented slow-motion conveyance process for carbon black beads and silica, which is considered a trailblazing development within the industry.

To ensure the complete absence of dust within the plant and its environment, the powdered raw material must be pneumatically conveyed in hermetically sealed systems; at the same time, when transporting sensitive products such as carbon black and silica, it is vital to ensure that the conveying speed is as low as possible.

Carbon black and silica in a range of qualities are used in modern rubber compounds. Taking into account the different properties and flow characteristics of these raw materials, the conveyor system must always function in a safe, dust-free manner and offer consistent performance. Our patented conveying processes guarantee gentle, safe conveying at all times.

"Black Dog" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the first track on the band's untitled fourth album (1971), which has become one of the best-selling albums of all time.[6] The lyrics contain typical bluesman themes of lust, eroticism and betrayal.[1] The song was released as a single and reached the charts in many countries. It is "one of the most instantly recognisable Zeppelin tracks", and was included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list (US), and ranked No. 1 in Q magazine's (UK) "20 Greatest Guitar Tracks".

The title is a reference to a nameless black Labrador Retriever the band used to see wandering the Headley Grange studio grounds.[7] The dog would disappear in the evening and return exhausted in the early morning, before resting all day and repeating his evening sojourns.[1] Robert Plant believed the lab was spending nights with his "old lady" (dog). Likewise the lyrics are narrated by a man obsessed with a woman, "got a flaming heart can't get my fill", he "can't keep away" from her "honey drip";[nb 1][nb 2] she reveals her true intention, spending his money, taking his car, "telling her friends she's gonna be a star", at which point the deception becomes clear and he turns cold, saying "a big-legged woman ain't got no soul".[1] The story of lust, eroticism, and ultimately betrayal echoes the traditional reputation of the blues as being the music of the devil,[nb 3] alluded to in the lyric "eyes that shine a burning red".[1]

The song opens with muted sounds of guitars warming up in the background, an idea by Jimmy Page, who also made curious opening sounds in "Immigrant Song" and "Friends", he was fond of starting songs in an unexpected way. The sounds are actually recordings of various guitar track openings played simultaneously, creating a "sonic collage" in which the tape can be heard spinning up to speed. Robert Plant then begins singing in a high strong voice, "hey, hey, mama" unaccompanied by music (a cappella). This sets the structure of the song, around a call and response dynamic, between the vocalist and the band, back and forth. It was Jimmy Page's idea to start and stop the music, and he was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's 1969 song "Oh Well".[10]
