These haters haven't even seen an 8-string before. You're badass. Just keep rockin'. (however, the cop from the Village People playing the drums is kinda funny.) lol
Been listening to this version for months now and still love it. Want some more. Want to get my hands on "Tall Man" but 28 Aussie dollars is a bit pricey. Is there a cheaper download available?
Holy fucking shit is right. Love that voice. Brings back the haunting spirit of the old masters. This is amazing. Like this song better with just the stomp boxes, tho...
Oh man I am sooo sorry.I was sure I'd commented on this amazing piece of work.I guess I was too stunned to type.Might have seen it on the Ellis page I guess.Wonderfully good job.
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"
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.
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
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!
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.
better than zeppelin
