I really like Alvin Lee's version of that song tbhherodotus wrote: Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:28 amYeah, they are like chalk and cheese. Not enough in common to compare them.
That was what I found so frustrating about the choruses of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".Beatles couldn't get very heavy.....
Who is better the Beatles or Led Zeppelin

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Yes. But having already insulted Ringo, I didn't want to go any further. I have known numerous fanatical Beatles fans in my life, and I just don't have the energy for kicking hornet's nests that I used to have.jancivil wrote: Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:35 am By the time I heard most, if I'd heard any, of Beatles of the mature period, I was a Hendrix freak, so Harrison always seemed very lightweight to me.

I don't even care. I'm not going to fight anyone about it. Abbey Road looms large in my life but Beatles is the distant past for me.
I am rather a fan of McCartney. Not of Harrison, and Lennon basically just gets on my nerves, or hearing about his sainthood anyway. I like Walrus and a couple of others.
I think Ringo did a great job, but you're right about She's So Heavy. Just needed more muscle than that in the end.

To be honest, I always wished that King Crimson would cover it. Or rather, that they had covered it. Bill Bruford circa 1975 would have just killed it, as would Fripp.jancivil wrote: Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:53 am ....you're right about She's So Heavy. Just needed more muscle than that in the end.
But I can't rewrite music history. And if I could, I would most definitely use my powers for evil.

I thought the corny headshaking mocking was kinda funny

you do know that was a joke by Jasper Carrot?
Nobody in the Beatles said that.
There have been a couple of drummer documentaries on recently, and lots of drummers rate Ringo very highly.

Hahaha that was kind of enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
John Lennon seems real, George and the two Pauls too. But the Ringo part, did the casting director just pick anybody off the street? He doesn't even resemble Yasser Arafat one bit.

Okay so, I found my Led Zeppelin 1 CD and I see Willie Dixon is credited for two songs:
You Shook Me
I Can't Quit You Baby
The original for Led Zeppelin's cover(?) of How Many More Times is supposed to be How Many More Years by Howlin' Wolf but he is not credited and I'm not hearing the similarities because... I may have bad ears.
I presume Jimmy Page and maybe the whole band thought highly enough of the original versions to cover it.
But after hearing those three original versions at YouTube I thought "The testosterone-triggering energy that Led Zeppelin had, that mojo that makes me want to play guitar is missing from the original versions".
Yes, what Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and John Paul Jones and John Bonham put into their versions is almost non-existent in the originals, to me at least. Most notably missing in those blues originals is Jimmy Page's guitar riffs and solos.
Here are the two versions of You Shook Me
Here are the two versions of I Can't Quit You Baby
Here are the two versions of How Many More Times/Years

^^^You'd have to look at the original LP/cover to see if the original artists were originally credited. Also, look at Dazed And Confused, which is a total ripoff of somethingorother.
Can't find a Beatles vs Zep version of this, but this will suit:
