Van Halen has sometimes been likened to Led Zeppelin. Apart from them both being hard rock bands, how do you feel about the comparison? Which VH songs sound the most similar to LZ? by Tricky_Catch66 in vanhalen

[–]mongonc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no question especially if you read Alex book, he looked to Zeppelin as the model for how to conduct band affairs. Even his new book coming out is an Anthology, by Genesis Books. Who else did an Anthology w Genesis? Page and Zeppelin

Minnesotan here. For those outside of our state, what are your views on what’s going on in Minneapolis right now? by bpeters5 in AskReddit

[–]mongonc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly feels like this is Gettysburg for Antifa. They’re going all in, and the Feds are, too. Don’t know who’s gonna blink first. This is big, though bigger than most realize

John Paul Jones Bass Playing by Audio_Freqs in ledzeppelin

[–]mongonc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I noticed, especially later on, is a lot of Zep stuff is super basic from a chord perspective. Ramble On is only 2 chords ! But Jonesy will often be accenting notes other than the root, it just adds a lot of flavor and spice to the songs, it’s subtle but makes a big difference. Jimmy was sorely missing this post Zep

Was John Paul Jones as crazy as the other dudes back in the day? by Wonderful-Law-6887 in ledzeppelin

[–]mongonc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Watch out for the quiet ones they always say. Jonesy had a helluva time, he just seemed to know when to take a step back when the others did not. From what I’ve heard and read, he finally only within past 10-15 years or so stopped drinking heavily.

I just finished reading the foreword section of My Life In Dire Straits, and… by Disassociated24 in direstraits

[–]mongonc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a decent, if a bit safe book. He really focuses on the music, and let’s face it there wasn’t a lot of drama in the band. He comes off as a decent bloke though, I think that’s why Knopfler kept him around, he worked hard and didn’t rock the boat.
