  • I think anyone who spells a name wrongly shouldn't envoke their name, new rule!!

  • it's hardly in limited supply!

  • nice version, but he looks like he lives on a dumb so, shave before consert maybe

  • wonder if he's available to tour with jjj :)

  • NIcE@~!!@!!

  • you rock man i like this get down jimmy ilike do a song with you jimmy

  • how fucking ignorant could you get

  • you tell me, mr "i took time out my day to try to show up someone who i think is ignorant, so ill write it for people to see it publicly so they think im cool"

    eh?

  • no, thefletch888, i agree with him. it would be ignorant not to call you on it.

  • thefletch888: Led Zeppelin song? They covered it...perhaps you already know that and I'm blind to your sarcasm.

    As a side not Bob Dylan did a great version of this song on his self titled release in 1961.

  • Tell me you're joking.

    Zeppelin wrecked a fantastic Blind Willie Johnson song.

    James Michael Thompson restored it to its former glory.

    Don't know why the song butchers in Led Zeppelin have such a sterling reputation. It makes me wonder... yes, it makes me f**king wonder. Oh, woe woe...

  • if i may..... there are only 3 "zeppelin" songs on their first album. and i dont know for sure that they wrote them, they are: Good Times Bad Times, Your Time Is Gonna Come (which sounds alot like a Uriah Heap song) and Communication Breakdown.

    even stairway to heaven was a song by a group called Spirit.

  • You need to educated in the blues!

    You will see how Led Zepplin stole from them so mercialy!

  • Mercialy? Anyway, Led composed their own way.  If they made it like this it would be robbery.

  • The fact that they didn't so much as credit the Blues Men they coverd mean't they stole from them.

  • It's impossible to steal from the blues.

  • they didnt steal... they borrowed :D blind willie johnson called it "Jesus up make my dying bed" the music in the Zep version was wayyy better..

  • They stole a lot music, ie them not giving credit for it.

  • Lve that gritty bluesy style .. you have music I can download.

  • if you actually look into the tunings of the guitar, and what it was designed for, the extra strings are ingenious in what the make possible. He has 2 e strings so he doesn't lose high end when he solos, and to give it more depth. Because anything can sound thin against the low A which he uses so he rarely needs a bass player

  • heh...yeah bassist are for lazy guitarists.

  • I'll have you know that i AM a bass player

  • im only kiddin man ive seen some amazing bass playin in my life. i espically love the slap

  • nice guitar work, too many strings for me to play, though.

  • cool guitar and great playing

  • oh yeah....like it

  • I love the Guitar

  • had this thing had a built in Piezo system, this would sound so much more incredible... you should invest in one! i do like your tone so far though, sounds absolutely killer!

  • Amazing. It's full of soul and depth. I love it.

  • hi palomorado thanks for the comment mate. the guitar was built for me by andrew ellis ellisguitars . com he also makes stompboxes which i use for solo shows. the tone is from three separate sounds, a marshall plexi amp sim (sansamp) a fender twin amp and the micophone on the guitar.

  • Great tone on that Tricone!

    Where did you find an 8-String Tricone?!?!?!?!?!?!?
