I remember your old Avi. It was a photo of singularly grumpy looking old fart with a 1920's style pencil mustache. Too close to home?
Zep is relevant as nostalgia. About it. Louis Armstrong's music is used in thousands of soundtracks and gets more regular radio play. Doesn't make him "relevant". By your standards Beethoven is relevant.
You don't have the luxury of discounting Hammer Of The Gods. If the stories weren't true, lawsuits would have ensued.
As to Bonham, he was an okay drummer but no modern drummer looks up to him as a giant anymore than they do Kieth Moon. They were more well known for their partying and hotel destruction than they were for their drumming. You're still living in the '60s.
Relevancy for musicians is not based on sentimental baby boomer nostalgia for the good old days. It's based on ability to evolve and create contemporary work, not playing oldies concerts, and revival shows playing the old top 40 hits.
This thread was talking about race related topics until you jumped in making silly comments equating me with an avatar image, and then doubling down insisting on the pretense that you earnestly believe these flimsy accusations. You're the one who derailed it. If you don't want to talk about anything other than racing,
then don't.
Actually my previous avatar was the John Player Special logo, but thanks for trying.
Saying Bonham was an okay drummer is one of the most ....... ........ statements you've made in this topic.
Let's face it Wally, you're an irrelevant poster who no one likes. You ride on the back of others to get in on the action.
Each post you make gets dumber than the last. Your knowledge of Zeppelin is nonexistent because they evolved over 12 years in incredible ways. They played acoustic and got into synthesizers at the end of 70s.
BTW you might learn something Little Worthless. Who knows! Doubtful really.
