No thanks

Just looking at the thumbnail its obvious this is garbage quality content.

As a hardcore liberal this even makes me cringe. If you don't have the emotional maturity to take legacy content for the era it was produced in just stay away from it.

There's nothing malicious about Unsolved Mysteries, or even that bad to warrant this laundry list. It's hardly Song of the South ...

[Omar the Satanist]

As soon as I saw “unhingery”, I knew this would be repulsive.

The really concerning thing is according to that Youtube plaque she has, more than 12 people watch her content on a regular basis. No thanks. Not for me. I don't need her bad micro analysis of generations past hiding behind her false hindsight "enlightenment."

[Gelatinous Goo]

She looks like she is an AI creation. I'm also not interested in hearing a fetus' take on something on which I have spent 36 years building personal insight and opinion. I don't watch UM while eating avacado toast.

[Zoso fan]

Oh absolutely. Not to mention she looks like the type that would falsely accuse a guy of something he didn't do.

She looks like her face was 3D printed from recycled plastic

I can see from your profile avatar you are a man of taste, excuse me while I go listen to Dazed and Confused.

Thank you! I've always been curious what their musical direction would've been in the '80s if John Bonham never died.

[Gelatinous Goo]

If Bonzo didn't die, then Page would have. One's death was likely a huge wake-up call to the other.

I think the music would have continued to stink because Page was too strung out to contribute. In Through the Out Door was an embarrassment. Personally, the group ended for me with Physical Graffiti. The group needed to come to an end and would have better served its legacy if it had done so in 1975.

From everything that I have read I have to unfortunately agree that the band was likely not viable for much longer. Page had serious issues which risked killing him just like Bonham. And Plant was likely no longer in it for the long haul for various personal reasons and likely would have quit anyway.

That said, I really like In Through The Out Door. Maybe its being born long after all the albums were out and experiencing them on my own without the opinions of others who grew up with the first few albums and weren't ready for something do different. But while some people really don't seem to like it I find myself listening to it fairly often (in part because the songs don't appear on live albums like albums up through Houses of the Holy do). Yes the sound is very different, but I like it for what it is.

That said, as much as I would have enjoyed an 80's Led Zeppelin I'm not convinced it was happening even if no one died.

You both raise good points. By 1979 Page was really zonked out of his mind on heroin and Plant lost his son. I'm surprised that didn't completely kill his motivation right then and there. But I did like a few songs off Prescence and In Through the Out Door. Fool in the Rain had a lot of good vocals and percussion in it that showed their "Poppier" side. All 4 members were irreplaceable in that band and absolutely not surprising they split after Bonzo died. Now I might be wrong, but weren't they in the middle of a U.S. tour when he passed away? Man, imagine buying a ticket only to hear that news.

The tour had not started, but they were in rehearsals. That is basically what happened to my dad, they were headed to the city to get tickets when they heard the news.

Oof. That is brutal. Talk about bad timing. At least he got to keep the money if he didn't pay for it beforehand. I know my dad got to see Van Halen live on their Women and Children First tour in Chicago around 1980. I believe he said tickets were only 12 bucks, which isn't bad at all. The price of tickets to see anybody live now is ridiculous. Thanks a lot, Livenation!
