"He wouldn't stop playing Stairway to Heaven" should be a perfectly acceptable reason to kill someone with your bare hands.

Thanks for the link. I always loved the horn solo. Now I get to see it.

The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life, for real!

And if anyone has a link to "Dazed in Chinese" by Bongwater, I'd be much obliged

Dude, Led Zeppelin should totally do a cover of "Stairway." That would kick major ass.

I wonder what it would sound like if you pressed play on all of those versions at the same time.

Stairway To Gilligan was always my favorite version.

wow. I still don't understand how this song tops EVERY classic rock radio station's Top ### List of Greatest Songs.. I really don't, IMHO it's just not that good!

/Springsteen on the other hand...

LOL.. the Gilligans Island one is great.

Holy shiat, that Grohl one is amazing. Watch it on youtube for maximum lulz.

Listening to Dollie Parton's version.

Farkin' hell!! What's wrong with her throat? It's all reverby!

"Stair-air-air-air way-way-way to-to-to hea-hea-hea-ven-ven-ven-ven.."

Wrong_Intentions: Dude, Led Zeppelin should totally do a cover of "Stairway." That would kick major ass.

They did and the cover sucked.

Lowell George: Stairway To Gilligan was always my favorite version.


Indeed.

you rang?

Ok, they've got that Euro dude who sings it backwards. It's quite amazing, actually: the video is played in reverse so that he sings it "normally".

My favorite version is the Dred Zeppelin one. I saw DZepp at a place in Memphis, they were awesome! Tortelvis for the win!

There are not enough words to describe my hatred for that last thought...

CyranoJones: My favorite version is the Dred Zeppelin one. I saw DZepp at a place in Memphis, they were awesome! Tortelvis for the win!

God do I hate dread zeppelin, one of the most painful and terrible shows I have ever seen. I would like to take on all of those guys in a street fight, and cut them all with broken bottles.

Stairway's, like, totally overrated. There are so many songs that are better.

What, name one? Gotta go, need to get to the gym.

Hey, 'FMU

Just a bookmark

You know what? i've kinda always wanted to hear the following bands do Stairway to Heaven:
early to mid 70's Yes
Wetton/Bruford Era King Crimson
good era ELP

Nice to see someone had the good sense to show him Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

No Stairway? Denied!

The cool thing is that 62 of those 101 mp3s are 192k or better rips, so into my covers collection they go.

Saw Frank on this tour. It was incredible. Seeing him perform live also made my wife finally understand why I liked his music so much.

Lowell George: Stairway To Gilligan was always my favorite version.

I'm with ya' bro.

the money or the gun was a great show

I like the backwards version

Or as I call it,
Slide to Hell
:)

/listening for satanic lyrics

The Gilligan version is BETTER than the real version. I remember how ticked off Led Zep was when it was first released. They actually sued Dr. Demento to keep him from playing it. I have hated the Zep ever since that incident.

no thanks, Subby... i didn't watch it. I don't even wanna watch Zeppelin do it, and they are one of my favorite bands.

the banjo version sounds cool, though.

solo89: I still don't understand

/Springsteen on the other hand...

Well, there ya go.

Delawheredad: I have hated the Zep ever since that incident.

Don't hate (new window) anymore then.

I honestly love the "As done by The Doors" version lol

P. S. The steel guitarist in the Nashville Super Pickers needs a medal. Maybe a trophy, too.

brookgo: Holy shiat, that Grohl one is amazing. Watch it on youtube for maximum lulz.

There was a link to that on here a few months ago. It became a fight between people who got that it was a joke and the remaining idiots who thought he farked it up. "I can't believe he forgot the words" was one of the brainless comments.

But that clip was excellent.
