Be absolutely stunned by Jimmy Page??? 😍 Don't even get me started on Robert Plant. Ovaries explode

Eric Clapton leaves me cold. I know he's a textbook genius but there's something so sterile about his music for me.

+1

But weird him, Page and Beck growing up so close ...

Strange indeed.
Wasn't Clapton a racist when younger too?

Clapped Out was always a shit

I always rather liked Michael Schenker

I had to google Micheal Listening. Looks a too bit well scrubbed for me.

Long shot but did anyone see Heavy Metal Kids when Gary Holden was with them?

Pete Steele (rip). Mega OOOFF

Sorry Jeicha, couldn't resist. But blimey riley, the full on nudey photos that come up with a google I was not expecting!

*Jericha, sorry for typo. I blame the shock of the penis pics.

ScienceSensibility

My top 3
No Quater live 1973 - The swirling keyboards building up to Jimmy's hauntingly mesmerising solo is just sublime.
Babe I'm Gonna Leave you
Since I've been loving You live version - best bluesy guitar, just doesn't get any better than this.

I remember that at the time, caused quite a fuss 😆

Read last night that Steele wasn't too chuffed when male fans wanted those photos signing.

I have Since I've Been Loving You and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You but struggling for third. Depends on my mood but I'm tempted to go for Tangerine. For a start it feels like it ends too soon, which isn't their usual style. It sounds simpler than it is, and I love the bit where the music drops out and Plant goes "and I do".

@Scout2016 brilliant. I imagine it would've been like getting speared

"In The Light" ? Or "Ten Years Gone" ? Guitar orchestration taken to the next dimension.

It was certainly acceptable to sexualise 15 year olds for many

But it wasn’t acceptable for adults to be having sex with 13 years olds like Bowie and Page did they certainly were not sharing this as public knowledge it was then and is now rape and not acceptable

David Bowie and Robert Page are no different to Bill Wyman just considered cooler all are rapists of underage girls (along with a number of others)

I would be interested to see the reaction on here if Page and Bowie resembled the stereotype paedophile with jamjar glasses, greasy hair, jug ears and a dirty Mac, whether there'd be people queuing up to make excuses for them.

Not so many are making excuses for Michael Jackson or R. Kelly

All have produced some great music but that doesn’t change what they are child rapists

Nobody’s making excuses, merely pointing out that times were different. I don’t know why you have such difficulty in understanding that. Teenage girls threw themselves at those guys, they’d have run a mile from someone fitting your description.

And yet again, they were children who could not give consent and were sexually abused by an adult. 13 year olds were not considered fair game morally or legally not now not in 1971.

Peter Green. Though things didn't go so well for him post Fleetwood Mac sadly

It wouldn’t have been acceptable for any men above 20 in my family to be having a sexual relationship with a child under 16 In the 60’s 70’s or 80’s

We all knew girls with older boyfriends mostly it was kept quiet but disapproved of in gossip

To sexualise underage teenagers is one thing (thankfully less acceptable) it’s not the same as actually having a sexual relationship with them which is actually rape. It may not have been viewed as rape but the majority would have seen it as being inappropriate (though many would have still blamed the girls for tempting the weak men)

My friends were throwing themselves at Bros, young girls will be following whoever is famous now dreaming that they will be their girlfriends and that they will fall in love with them it’s always happened always will but what excuse is that for a man to take advantage and abuse or rape a child

Is it just a coincidence that these girls didn’t have protective families around them, just like the girls in my school that were targeted by predatory teachers no of course not they pick their victims

Bloody hell. swoon and faint

One for the Gilmourians ...

@DGRossetti

Thanks for this - I’ve been following some of them!

My DH gets mistaken for Robert Plant a lot. It's mostly the hair. We go to see him live whenever we get the opportunity and I love walking through the foyer with him before the gig and watching all the double-takes

Oooh so excited to find this thread. Never listened that closely to led zeppelin as not keen on metal. Went to see Robert plant last week (front row!!) and then hit you tube. Totally gobsmacked by their brilliance!!
