LED ZEPPELIN





¿Definir a los Zeppelin en pocas palabras?: Crearon el Heavy Metal.
Si, pequeñines, así de simple y así de inmenso: Con éllos empezó todo. Jimmy Page y su banda dieron forma, homogeneidad y entidad propia a lo que después se denominaría Hard Rock, esa amalgama de sonidos e influencias que Cream, Hendrix y otras bandas de blues progresivo de finales de los 60 aportaban a la convulsa escena musical de aquellos años. ¿Cómo? pues imprimiendo a sus temas (propios o plagiados) un volumen sonoro y una intensidad interpretativa como jamás se había visto en la música. El rock devastador, demoledor y lleno de energía incendiaria de Led Zeppelin sentó las bases de un nuevo género en la práctica totalidad de sus aspectos: El virtuosismo instrumental, el concepto de espectáculo en directo, la estética...Por todo éllo, fueron elevados a la categoría indiscutible de Dioses del Rock.
A Angel le pone muchísimo Stairway to Heaven; posiblemente sea la canción de canciones en el sentido de que no se puede ir más allá, muchachos, tiene de todo: pasión por el ocultismo, una duración poco convencional de 8 minutos, flautas, sonido acústico, un solo de guitara absolutamente épico y -para colmo- una interpretación sorprendentemente frágil y delicada del habitualmente "macho-singer" Robert Plant. También escucharás en nuestro pub el clásico Rock and Roll, la devastadora Inmigrant Song y el orgiástico Whole Lotta Love.

  1. Stairway to Heaven

    There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
    And she's buying a stairway to heaven
    (And) when she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
    With a word she can get what she came for

    Ooh ooh ooh…ooh…ooh ooh ooh
    And she's buying a stairway to heaven

    There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
    'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
    In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

    Oooh…It makes me wonder
    Oooh…It makes me wonder

    There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
    And my spirit is crying for leaving
    In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
    And the voices of those who stand looking

    Oooh…It makes me wonder
    Oooh…And it makes me wonder

    And it's whispered that soon, if we all called the tune
    Then the piper will lead us to reason
    And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
    And the forest will echo with laughter

    Woe woe woe woe woe oh
    If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
    Don't be alarmed now
    It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
    Yes there are two paths you can go by
    but in the long run
    There's still time to change the road you're on

    And it makes me wonder…ohhh ooh woe

    Your head is humming and it won't go – in case you don´t know
    The piper's calling you to join him
    Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know
    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our souls
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last
    When all are one and one is all, yeah
    To be a rock and not to roll
    Ooooooooooooh

    And she's buying a stairway to heaven

  2. IMMIGRANT SONG

    Ah ah
    we come from the land of the ice and snow
    from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
    the hammer of the gods
    will drive our ships to new lands
    to fight the horde singing and crying:
    valhalla i am coming!
    on we sweep with threshing oar
    our only goal will be the western shore.
    ah ah
    we come from the land of the ice and snow
    from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
    how soft your fields so green,
    can whisper tales of gore,
    of how we calmed the tides of war.
    we are your overlords.
    on we sweep with threshing oar,
    our only goal will be the western shore.
    so now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
    for peace and trust can win the day
    despite of all your losing.

  6. HEARTBREAKER

    Hey fellas have you heard the news?
    You know that annie's back in town?
    It won't take long just watch and see
    How the fellas lay their money down.
    Her style is new but the face is the same
    As it was so long ago
    But from her eyes a diff'rent smile
    Like that of one who knows.
    Well it's been ten years and maybe more
    Since i first set eyes on you;
    The best years of my life gone by
    Here i am alone and blue.
    Some people cry and some people die
    By the wicked ways of love;
    But i'll just keep on rollin' along
    With the grace of the lord above.
    People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
    I don't care what the people say, i know where their jive is at.
    One thing i do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
    It's the way you call me by another guy's name when i try to make love to you!
    I try to make love but it ain't no use.
    Give it to me, give it!
    (guitar solo)
    Work so hard i couldn't unwind,
    Get some money saved;
    Abuse my love a thousand times,
    However hard i tried.
    Heartbreaker, your time has come,
    Can't take your evil way;
    Go away,
    Heartbreaker.
    Heartbreaker!

  9. Dazed and confused

    Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true,
    Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
    Lots of people talk and few of them know,
    Soul of a woman was created below. Yeah!

    You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies,
    Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.
    Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been,
    Oh, I love you baby, here I come again.

    Every day I work so hard
    Bringin' home my hard earned pay
    Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
    Don't know where you're goin'
    I don't know just where you've been,
    Sweet little baby, I want you again.

    Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true,
    Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
    Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
    Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

  10. Huy, lo que me ha dicho ! ¿¿Que no pongo el Whole Lotta Love??. Perdona, Luna, lo que sucede es que quizás no coincida el momento en que la pincho con tu estancia en el Pub. Creo que deberías pasar más tiempo en el "Sitio".

  13. ROCK AND ROLL

    It's been a long time since i rock and rolled
    It's been a long time since i did the stroll.
    Ooh let me get it back let me get it back
    Let me get it back baby where i come from.
    It's been a long time been a long time
    Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.
    Yes it has.
    It's been a long time since the book of love
    I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
    Carry me back carry me back,
    Carry me back, baby, where i come from.
    It's been a long time, been a long time,
    Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
    Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
    Making vows that just can't work right.
    Open your arms, opens your arms,
    Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.
    It's been a long time, been a long time,
    Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

  17. No, Sara, no tengo novia, pero...
    Luna tiene razón, puedes preguntármelo en persona, eso o cualquier otra cosa, incluso pedirme canciones. Te atenderé gustoso. No hay preguntas impertinentes, hay respuestas inadecuadas

  21. todo tiene su principio y su fin.. la felicidad es muy efímera...

    ResponderEliminar
  22. Asmodeo...Luna...los cojones no se "acaban". De hecho, los cojones son como la energía: ni se crean ni se destruyen, sólo se transforman (y tú deberías saberlo, muchacho). Este pasado finde no pinché Moby Dick, de acuerdo (tampoco me la pedísteis), pero el próximo viernes (y el sábado) caerá fijo. (Y nada tiene que ver con los cojones)

    ResponderEliminar
  23. Viernes : cojones cero.

    Hoy : ??????????
