    Led Zeppelin. "Lead Zeppelin."

    Country: United Kingdom.

    Composition (not changed until the group disbanded in 1980 
after the death of John Bonham):



    Jimmy Page

    (Born in 1944, guitar)


    Robert Plant

    (Born in 1948, vocals)


    John Paul Jones

    (Born in 1946, bass guitar, keyboard
    ones),


    John Bonam

    (1948-1980, drums).


    The legendary pioneering group of
famous revolutionary triumvirate
ushered in an era of "heavy" music. If
Black Sabbath became the founders of the actual metal, in 
particular, at the dawn of activity - the style doom, Deep 
Purple have developed a style of future hard-and-heavy, enough 
speed of hard rock with using the elements of Baroque, the Led

Zeppelin pioneered molotopodobnogo
Hardy on blues-based. They are less
others turned to traditionally European
sonata roots, whereas in fact
were the first to use detailed
Oriental melodies: a fashion similar to the sound asked 
"Kashmir" from the album of 1975. 


    Throughout the work zeppelins Hardrock and blues held 
nearly equal position. 


    Brought up in the blues team
Yardbirds, Page retained affection
in this manner for a lifetime. The first two
album, as well as the entire production team to
1975, inclusive, containing 50
percent of the "gravity" and the bluesy guitar
acoustics.


    The first disc was clearly stronger, but
the biggest international success was
second, headed with the song "Whole lotta
love ". The integrity of the musical idea
Led Zeppelin manifested itself most fully
on the third disk, where things are longer
and epics, and an amazing play
"Friends" was the general new word in
rock music: so unusual was its acoustic sound without the 
keyboard percussion. 


    Commercial peak for the ensemble was
fourth album in 1971 with the legendary
epic song "Stairway to Heaven." In fairness it should be noted 
that this thing was first sign of the future of progressive 
metal. The beginning of it - it's acoustic melodic

ballad that gradually unfolds and reaches an apogee of high 
speeds with elegant guitar arrangements. Gothic beauty amazes 
the previous play, "The battle of evermore". Drive in 1973 
revealed themselves, in essence, the continuation of the 
concept of the 4 th album here the expanded role of the epic 
songs sang the famous "No Quarter" ("No

mercy "). Creative same peak for the group
became a double album of 1975, "Physical label. If before the 
heavy composition of the ensemble were mixed with the blues 
then this time Led Zeppelin do differently: kuvaldopodobnye, 
heaviest, nearly Doomovye compositions, long and epic, with 
excellent finds in aranzhemente and powerful use of keyboards, 
entirely settled on the first LP / CD. 


    The second disc is completely focused on blues, mostly 
acoustic, clearly nostalgic (for the Yardbirds)

character. Perhaps it was a mistake:
after the amazing and revolutionary
"Material of the first song second disc
seemed merely childish. Anyway, the stunning music of the first 
part This kind of Novels with more than enough to ensure that 
the album was not only diamond rock music in general, but also 
opened up new opportunities for its development. Two the last 
album Led software Zeppelin have gone away from the tradition 
of equal use in their works hard and blues. "Presence" was 
generally most "downhole", and the very long first play "The 
last deed of Achilles" - clearly progressive direction.



    In general, it seems that musicians
trying to fix the error "Physical
graffiti ". Stylistically, the disc in 1976 - an exact copy of 
the material first, giving rise to such enthusiasm, drive past 
project. But, except for the first thing and the "heavy" blues, 
the rest of the material does not radiate a glow, like last 
year "Kashmir", "In the hour of my death," "In the Light" and 
others. All of it was done in "Iron" part of a rough rustic 
relics of the 4 th track in 1975 "Houses of the holy ", which, 
incidentally, did not include a self-titled album in 1973. 
There would She certainly looked like Moloch, wandered into a 
flower garden and vegetable beds treader huge beetle-crusher. 


    The second half of 1975 and 1976 were for the group not 
only "star" in the creatively, but also tragic in

household.


    Miraculously survived a car accident with Plant
wife taken to hospital, Jimmy Paige,
leaving the train, pinched and tore a tendon, that is actually 
lost performance "gaming" finger of the left hands - is a 75-m. 
In the 76-m after "Presence" and was released in theaters 
concert film "The song remains the same "(recorded back in the 
74-m) from some lousy flu dies son Planta Karak and troubles 
plaguing the family Planta, indirectly accused the fascinated, 
and more seriously than Sabbatovtsy, magic Jimmy Paige. All 
this and knocked Led Zeppelin out of a rut for three years. 
Material for album recorded in 1979 alone;

Each sent producer Peter Grant,
(By that time Zeppelins were the owners of their own record 
company SWAN SONG Records - also see Bad Company) your records, 
and only during Mixing the old relations were restored. It 
turned out that the entire foundation of the new disc was 
written by John Paul Jones. This determined uncharacteristic 
for the group sound. The album was released the softest in the 
work of the ensemble, the It first sounds of art-rock.



    The group disbanded after the next
turmoil caused by the death of Bonham in
result of alcohol poisoning.
In 1982, Paige threw it on the market
collection of discarded when recording the previous album of 
unreleased songs under the symbolic title "Code" (Finale - 
mus.), which was presented to 32 inconspicuous minute 
blues-rock. 


    Robert Plant solo work
was the real continuation of the Led
Zeppelin. Even the guitar he picked up
Peydzhevskoy "school". Composition Robert Plant
Source: Robert Plant (vocals), Robbie
Blunt (guitars, ex-rhythm & blues
group Bronco, Chicken Shack), Gerald
Woodroffe (keyboards, ex-Black Sabbath),
Paul Martinez (bass, ex-Fleetwood Mac),
Phil Cpliins (from Genesis, drums). Ha
two things also rattled off in the first
album, Cozy Powell (Rainbow, ELP, Black
Sabbaths others).


    The second album recorded the same composition, and again 
in two things Collins - an old friend of Plante - gave the play 
another (Barrimore Barlow, ex-Jethro Tull).



    1985: same musicians, but the new
drummer Ritchie Hayward (ex-Little
Feat).


    1987: the composition is completely updated. From Plante 
are now working young Musicians: Doug Boyle (guitars), Phil

Johnstone (keyboards), Chris Blackwell
(Drums) and Phil Scragg (bass). The two things to help solo 
Jimmy Page. 


   1990: same, except the bass player:
Charlie Jones.


   1993: same, but involves also: Martin Alcock (live 
composition Jethro Tull, cello, keyboards), Kevin

MacMichael (guitars) and a drummer, Chris
Hughes.


   In 1994, after a brief
Alliance Rada-Coverdale is the reunification of the leaders of 
Led Zeppelin Page and Planta. As a result of refusal to 
participate in the project, John Paul Jones, Led title

Zeppelin still can not use.
Issued an aggregate Page-Plant today is the only album
a radically different way replayed old hits
Zeppelin plus 4 "fresh" song. Let's see what happens.


    From Plantovskogo same solo inherits two
the album may well qualify for
the title of the masterpieces of hard rock: the first (1982)
+ Last (1993). Both are the most
close to the traditional sound of tseppelinovskomu contain 
beautiful "oriental" composition in the spirit of "Kashmir", 
and on quality of the material as a whole stronger than a good 
half of the programs of the old group. 


    Just a good singer for steel wheels
1983 and 1990. The weakest is
album in 1985 with a clear bias towards the "new wave". The 
album "Now and zen" nature of the transition to the old sound,

but from the "wave" of chips on it at Plant
do not get rid of.
