That's it. Kashmir is the best fucking song of all time and I am always right!

[LynneSin]

So no use arguing with me on this one! Just turn your volume up to 11 and enjoy!

[marym625]

1. ABSOLUTELY!

Actually, ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY!

[Dr. Strange]

2. Best? Nah.

But it definitely rocks.

By the way...

Just turn your volume up to 11

what is that supposed to mean?

[LynneSin]

3. You don't know about volume 11

Why do you make baby jesus cry

[hibbing]

4. Gotta go to 11

When I find a good rocker it always gets turned up to 11.

Peace

[Dr. Strange]

8. But it only sounds good if it's in...

[Dr. Strange]

7. Hmmm

One too many tin foil wrapped zucchini's to the head, doc?😂😂😂

[Dr. Strange]

9. I like how you take a sophisticated view of foil-wrapped zucchinis...

and put it on a farm.

[TZ]

11. .

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Tobin S.]

6. I beg to differ.

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in a warm welcome...OF THE BEST FUCKING BAND ON THE PLANET...MOTORHEAD!!!

[OriginalGeek]

27. Motörhead and Anthrax are coming to my town in a few months

I'll be there but don't talk to me for a few days afterward. I won't be able to hear you. Motörhead is seriously one of the loudest bands I've ever seen live. Haven't seen Anthrax since the 80s so they should be fun too.

[Tobin S.]

31. Have fun! I wish I could go. n/t

[KG]

13. not even the best LZ song, or the best song on Phys Graf

[antiquie]

14. Is too!

[LynneSin]

15. Yes but I'v yet to get anyone on my 'Team Night Flight' Rally as the best song

and I that song. I don't think that song has ever been played live anywhere

Here's a rare soundcheck where they did 'Night Flight'

That's actually my favorite song off of 'Physical Graffiti and it's considered one of the throwaway songs from side #4.

I also love 'The Rover' another song I doubt they have done live in concert.

Again from a rehearsal.

[CrawlingChaos]

21. What do you consider the best then?

Best LZ song and best song on Physical Grafitti? I'm curious!

I actually tend to agree with the OP - I think Kashmir is sublime (a word I try not to overuse) and I think Physical Grafitti is as close to perfection as I can think of. Ten Years Gone and In My Time of Dying are very, very close contenders for second place, IMO. The whole album blows me away.

[gratuitous]

16. I got two words for that

Puh-leeze.

[hobbit709]

17. Not even close.

[CBGLuthier]

18. As an absolute true fact, even when I really enjoyed this band and even though Kashmir is the kind

of thing I should like, for some reason it gave me a headache. Weirdest musical thing in my life but for years I could never listen to it and I love repetitive music and middle eastern scales.

[NobodyHere]

20. Jimmy Page is a rapist

[antiquie]

22. Crap. I didn't know.

[LynneSin]

23. He like many of the artists back in the 70s dabbled with the groupies

most who were underage.

I suspected probably everyone in Led Zeppelin and most other bands during that era probably had their share of underage groupies especially if they played in the Los Angeles area where there was a large group of them that made it a point to see who could score with the biggest rock stars that made it to the area. I think the only one who probably didn't from the band was John Paul Jones, he was pretty straight-laced from the group.

There's a great book about this era called 'I'm With the Band' by Pamela Des Barres, who was probably considered one of the greatest groupies of the era.

I think some of the musicians grew out of it as they got older. Remember back in the 70s these guys weren't that much older. Even as a 15 year old I use to date someone that was 23, didn't think anything of it back then. Today it would be considered kinda creepy.

I'm not saying what they did was ok but it was a different era back then where the girls were throwing themselves at these guys and there were alot of drugs and booze involved.

[antiquie]

29. Yes, it was totally acceptable back then.

[LynneSin]

30. It shouldn't have been but it was

Some took it too far like Ted Nugent who decided to adopt his underage groupie so he could 'marry' her. That was just whack. Others did out grow it. But you'd be hardpressed to find male musicians from that era who didn't dabble in it, some just had worse reputations than others. But most of these guys were only in their 20s and not some creepy 50-60 year old men.

The sad thing is some of the worst stories really weren't about what the musicians did the the groupies but what some of the others who were associated with the musicians did to the groupies. One of the most legendary tales of groupie debauchary out there was the story of Led Zeppelin with the mudshark incident in Portland where the rumor has it that the band did some really fucked up stuff with Mudshark fish caught off their balcony to an underage fan. In the end it wasn't the band members who did it but it was in their room (ironcially I think it was in John Paul Jones' room and he was the quiet one). The fish was caught by Jones and Bonham but they happened to be with members of Vanilla Fudge and it was one of their bandmembers and some roadies plus the groupie who then used the fish for some unspeakable acts. But since LZ was the bigger act they were the ones that got the hit on their reputation. The girl in question was 17 years old and Frank Zappa did write a song about it.

But many times it was the roadies and other hanger-ons that took advantage of the groupies who would do anything to get near to the band.

[clarice]

24. Even though I KNOW that you are right all the time......

I still gotta go with "Comfortably Numb" as the greatest.

[LynneSin]

25. One of the best in the Non-Zeppelin category

[clarice]

26. lol. thanks.nt

[Sheldon Cooper]

28. Sorry, but *this* is the best version of Kashmir:

[Enthusiast]

33. I love that!

[Ilsa]

32. I've always thought it sounded better at the midnight movies.

Friday nights in college: go see LZ at the midnight showing. Oh yeah.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Not About This You're Not!

Now, i love it too, but best song ever, well them's fightin' words!

[Lizzie Poppet]

35. Heretical admission: my favorite version's not by LZ!

[LynneSin]

36. here's another great non-LZ version

Although the drums are a bit lame. No one is a better drummer than Bonzo.

[Lizzie Poppet]

38. Nice!

Years and years ago, PIL opened concerts with an instrumental version (before John Lydon came on stage). It was terrific.

[UTUSN]

37. Uh... although I'm tempted to agree (on WHICHever point) n/t
