Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV (1971)

Fifty-three years ago today, on November 8th, 1971, the untitled fourth studio album by Led Zeppelin was released. Commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, original pressings of the album have no text on either the front or back covers and even lacks a catalog number on the spine, a decision that required threats from the band to withhold the masters if Atlantic Records did not comply. In the UK, the album debuted at No. 10 on the charts and took the top spot the following week, charting for a total of 90 weeks. In the US, it was the band’s bestselling record but peaked at No. 2, failing to capture the top spot. With near-unanimous critical acclaim on its release, the album is one of the bestselling albums of all time and is considered by many to be the band’s masterpiece, the greatest heavy rock album ever, and among the greatest albums of all time.

The story behind Led Zeppelin IV’s stick man is so great. Robert Plant found the colored version in an antique store without context and used it in the album cover.

More than 50 years later, the original black and white photograph was found in a Victorian photo album with the caption “A Wiltshire Thatcher”, which allowed for his identity to be assumed to be Lot Longyear, a widower who lived from 1823-1893

It's not a painting. It's a picture of a Victorian artisan taken in the English countryside in 1892.

Spent my days with a woman unkind Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine Made up my mind to make a new start Going to California with an aching in my heart

Someone told me there’s a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair Took my chances on a big jet plane Never let them tell you that they’re all the same

The sea was red and the sky was grey I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake As the children of the sun begin to awake

Watch out Seems that the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose And it's starting to flow, I think I might be sinking Throw me a line, if I reach it in time I’ll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high

Find a queen without a king They say she plays guitar and cries and sings La la la la Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Trying to find a woman who’s never, never, never been born Standing on a hill in the mountain of dreams Telling myself it’s not as hard, hard, hard as it seems

Led Zeppelin’s Misty Mountain Hop and the Kiss Identity Pt. 3

Afterthought, or afterbirth, that is the question, if there's any difference at all. And after all, this is already the second Psycho Circus (1998) track with the same reference, and both with Ace on vocals. Whoa!

But this little guitar riff that we're talking about today, which runs parallel to Into the Void's chorus, is said to have been placed there by Paul himself, and most certainly well-considered, because it's nothing less than our old friend, our favorite Kiss riff from Led Zeppelin's Misty Mountain Hop (1971), which was permitted to make its debut in the Kiss repertoire on Kiss' debut album in 1974 (1) And without that, well, something just seems to be missing from Kiss every now and then.

And today, for a change, it doesn't take the dominant part, but simply comes to terms with its position as a higher-swinging derivative of itself, somewhere between sedate and penetrating, playing second fiddle nicely in the background and yet standing out like a moderate teasing migraine attack.

Admittedly, the whole thing also fits quite well with Ace, and somehow keeps sounding like Kiss, right?

Side Note:

(1) I mean, after all, it's a very obvious riff that's been common for a long time, like Smoke on the Water (1972), only the other way around, in fact, exactly that, and was also re-used for Uh! All Night (1985), or Unholy (1992), or even In Your Face (1998).

If you want to feel like being pulled, pulled into a black hole, then please klick the highlighted link. Misty Mountain Hop starts right at the beginning:
