I went up to VH1 Classics, clicked it and there was Led Zeppelin in the Movie, "the song remains the same", just as they started to play the live version of "Stairway to Heaven". What do you think the meaning and story is behind that song? Or is there one? [Edited 3/3/2015 7:38:31 AM ] Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

Although I own all the old Beatles Albums, including Sgt Peppers framed, hanging on my wall right now- and those say things too-"Paul is dead" I think. My son was doing a report in HS a while back on that subject, (reverse album spinning) or something close to that and told me about Stairway to Heaven. I have an old school Techniques turn table, hooked to an old school Yamaha CR-600 Natural Sound Receiver, but I heard it mess's up the Stylus to spin'em backwards.

When you took a date to the movies and you slowly slipped your hand up her skirt...the giggle line was when you reached the bit where the stocking top ended and the soft thigh skin began...you both giggled...hence the giggle line. Stairway to heaven could have a similar meaning

He wrote them quickly and has never ascribed any deeper meaning other than the obvious one, death. Oh and by the way, the concert footage used in the movie was FAR from them at their best. They all hated it, but the project was delayed for a long time and they did not have much choice....

I like dylans lyrics too and a lot of music. TOOL is heavier. the music and the musicians for TOOL are intense and so is their music and is why they're my favorite. when led zeppelin first came out the lyrics and the music was intense and great music compared to the lemon sisters or andy williams which was all there was then to listen to until bands like led zeppelin happened. excuse me if i am soooo happy there is led zeppelin and TOOL and all the other great bands. lol rock and roll will never die.

debyduh Hamburg, PA 51, joined May. 2014	I love Led Zeppelin. I used to live and breathe Led Zep. We used to go to the midnight theater to watch Song Remains the Same. I think I know every note and every word of every song. Funny how we found out Bonham died without email and cells phones. We were all planning on camping out for tickets for the Philadelphia concert that never happened. Probably a good thing though I would have ended up getting in trouble at the concert. I was lucky enough to see what was left at Live Aid so that will have to due. I just watched an interview with Page a few days ago on the rerelease of Physical Graffiti. He is still cool. Seeing the remaining three live was my getting lucky. I have a picture I drew of Plant still in my note pad. I did a sculpture of the reaper. I did so much art revolving around them. Very cool thread Bee. I think the song means no matter how hard you try you can't buy your way to heaven and we all eventually have to face the music.

bumblebee7 Fort Payne, AL 59, joined Apr. 2011	^^^^^^^^well, I got more curious and decided to google the lyrics and figure it out. but I came across this, which is a lengthy exert, from a longer page of information about the song. as follows: Robert Plant spent much of the '70s answering questions about the lyrics he wrote for "Stairway." When asked why the song was so popular, he said it could be its "abstraction," adding, "Depending on what day it is, I still interpret the song a different way - and I wrote the lyrics." The lyrics take some pretty wild turns, but the beginning of the song is about a woman who accumulates money, only to find out the hard way her life had no meaning and will not get her into heaven. This is the only part Plant would really explain, as he said it was "a woman getting everything she wanted without giving anything back." Led Zeppelin started planning "Stairway" in early 1970, when they decided to create a new, epic song to replace "Dazed And Confused" as the centerpiece of their concerts. Jimmy Page would work on the song in an 8-track studio he had installed in his boathouse, trying out different sections on guitar. By April, he was telling journalists that their new song might be 15 minutes long, and described it as something that would "build towards a climax" with John Bonham's drums not coming in for some time. in October, 1970 after about 18 months of near constant touring, Page and Plant worked on the song at a Welsh cottage called Bron-yr-Aur, where they started writing songs for the album. They started recording it in December when the band convened at Island Studios in London, but were only able to record the intro to their satisfaction. To complete "Stairway" and the rest of the album, they changed venues and went to Headley Grange in Liphook Road, Headley, Hampshire, where they recorded using a mobile studio owned by The Rolling Stones. It was a huge, old, dusty mansion with no electricity but great acoustics. Bands would go there to get some privacy and focus on songwriting, as the biggest distractions were the sheep and other wildlife. Here's more information and a photo of Headley Grange. The lyrics came to Robert Plant in a flash of inspiration when he and Jimmy Page were sitting by the fireplace at Headley Grange with Page strumming the intro chords. Said Plant: "I was holding a pencil and paper, and for some reason I was in a very bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out the words, 'There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold/And she's buying a stairway to heaven.' I just sat there and looked at the words and then I almost leapt out of my seat."

Truth or not, according to the legend by them they were sort of seeking and searching into a darker realm. And for some reason they reached a point into that experience where (said by them both (Plant and Page), It was as if an invisible hand took hold of his hand (Plant) and the words were written down before all of the members of Zep). It was not until the writing stopped that they even knew what the words were and about. I guess Op, if you like a good story then "Stairway to Heaven" was written by Luicypher and friends and basically is explaining that hell is a hell of a lot more fun than heaven

fishnthec Mesquite, TX 63, joined Oct. 2010	As the song itself notes, “Sometimes words have two meanings.” The meaning behind “Stairway’”s words seem, if nothing else, infinite. Lyrically, the tune has dazed and confused many a mind-altered listener with its vague take on duality for the better part of a half-century. But, more often than not, lyrics say more with how they feel than what they really mean, and while “Stairway” is seemingly a song about the inevitability of death that’s really a song about fear but actually a song about greed… or something… Plant communicates its sweeping vagaries with a passionate, pensive and ultimately primal delivery that convinces the listener he knows exactly what he’s singing about. And, really, that’s enough. On a side note, the song shared "Best Song Of The Year" with none other than John Lennon's Imagine!

bumblebee7 Fort Payne, AL 59, joined Apr. 2011	For me I go back to that time period and consider what was there. its just a matter of opinion...and I was speaking of the speed in which he hit his notes, the accuracy, things along that line...plus his own innovations. Hendrix made some mistakes while playing, but could cover it up because of the effects he used. As far as innovation....every note, ever style, every everything has been done before, especially since the days when it became a bigger industry...after 1980. So if you don't give points for that...then no one past a certain era gets any points. When you compare him with the big names....the blues players from that era and before...Clapton, Hendrix and etc. Other then Les Paul....he tops them all...and Les didn't play that style....so. We can appreciate Stevie Ray...but he is a Hendrix clone. By my standards...B.B. king sucks on guitar, all easy stuff anyone these days can do. but he gets credit, because in his day, he was considered good. [Edited 3/4/2015 9:33:30 AM ]

I wouldn't put B.B. in the top one hundred, though I love the guy. you can ad Roy Clark to that list with Les Paul, and Chet and Jerry too. I agree with Hendrix, because he invented his style and turned the guitar world upside down and he was on the Johnny Carson show once and Carson asked him to play straight like a Jazz Player...and he did and was great at it. I rate players by how they play the neck, in coordination with the pick hand, speed, accuaracy and innovation. Jazz Players can blow away many rock guitarist on basic guitar skills alone. but Jimmy in that movie when he got pretty heavy was moving on that neck a lot like Les Paul....super fast, all over the place, and never looked at the fret board....double 16th notes...and kinda took jazz style and put it to rock with his own innovations and his leads fit the songs so well. So its that speed and accuracy is why I rate him high,....those you listed in that sentence all had that too. As for Clapton....he'd damn good...but no where the greatest...in the movie the last Waltz....I thought in that duel...Robbie Robertson blew him away.
