I haven't really don't know much of those bands. Maybe I shouldn't bring them up ( it might seem like a apples and oranges comparison - I guess it's all how it categorised into sub-genres like Hard Rock, Blues Rock, or jam bands) but my favourite bands from the 60's/70's period are Rolling Stones, the Allman Brothers Band, and Traffic, as far as musicianship and creativity I think they were just as strong as Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin where great when they played fast and hard but when it comes to jamming (at a slow tempo) Jimmy was at times just meh... when I watch The Song Remains the Same there are parts where I have to take a nap. That is one thing about Tony Iommi his playing seems more natural and fluid but I still give props to Jimmy for pushing the envelope and trying to execute his ideas beyond his playing capability.
Still it isn't right, even if Led Zeppelin were better. |
I think The Allman Brothers were definitely more technical than Zeppelin. Zeppelin played faster and harder so that could easily fool some people into thinking they were more technical than the Allmans. They Allmans wrote deeper, more complex songs; Zeppelin wrote simpler, more poppy songs. John Bohnam is great but the Allmans rhythm section was better, and they don't get near as much credit. Duane and Dickey Betts used Jazz techniques quite a bit in their guitar playing as well.
Just found this article, it's probably not true but still funny. I wish Duane would have kicked that douche bags ass
