Led Zeppelin - "Kashmir (Naked)"

[MrSluggo666]

I've been a Led Zeppelin Fan-atic since I was about 12, and this is one off the coolest posts yet! thanks !

[tremors831]

grungy zeppelin

[NeverAloneForever]

. . .and I've been wondering why the guitar can hardly be heard.

[NeverAloneForever]

I guess this is also no keyboard.

[NeverAloneForever]

Wait what happened to the chorus?

[DotrixLedSigns]

Cool Stuff

[boblyblitzbob]

Cold Ending!

[Jank143]

I used to hump my ex gf to this song, with my butt moving to the beat of Bonzo's drum. But I couldn't last the entire 9 minutes ha

[icedbullet666]

i love playing this on my twelve string acoustic, it sounds amazing

[tremors831]

9 minutes of headbanging fun!!!!!

[Tengent]

2:15

Is that what the guitar plays in the actual recording? The strings play different notes forsure, I tried playing along with this track on my mellotron-wannabe keyboard. :P

[manwellsteak]

1:45 a ticket only costs $2.50

[icedbullet666]

no 2.50 in pounds it was not 2.50 american money, i think that was around maybe 15 dollars which was alot.

[ratm50101]

this does kinda sound like wake up form ratm

[CallMeTheHunter]

ratm sampled Kashmir's riff

[ITSJUSTIN123123123]

this dosent sound like anything but led zeppelin's song named kashmir but ratm's song wake up sounds like this

[ratm50101]

that's what i pretty much said.

[paxpaul]

I'm not quite sure what you meant here, except the part about RATM's "Wake Up" sounding a bit like this. I agree, and when I first heard "Wake Up" I thought it was a cover of this...then it went its own way and kicked its own kind of ass.

But "Kashmir" is still better! :)

[stonefaceloser]

Is this just me or is the tempo off?

[HenryfracCT]

just you

[crazynicktaxi]

well..it's because the song is played in 4/4.However John Bonham played the drums in 3/4 ......that might sound strange.....

[coasterman16]

this isn't the correct backing to the vocals for the vast majority of the song

[shelly10538]

This is missing alot of the overdubs like the mellotron and orchestra as well as the vocals. Very cool though, most of it sounds like a room recording live in the studio. They must have really had an intense groove going on for as long as this is. Or maybe it was edited real well.

[nielyoungisgod]

yeah man, it just a mellotron, but they did record this with an orchestra as well , or i might be mistaken

[manwellsteak]

this is just drums and guitar. pure and simple

[DragonFire334]

bass???

[manwellsteak]

thats what i said. guitar and drums

[mitzelnation78]

you can hear the bass as well. This is a power trio basic track before all the strings and horns were added in later.

[Kashmirrrrrr]

I tried singing along with it, but I feel like I either miscounted or... It's longer than it's really supposed to be.

[holyrattlesnakes]

I love the flanging on the drums. Wish this track included the vocals!

[nielyoungisgod]

dude, the phaser is on the studio recording, listen to the cymbals

[holyrattlesnakes]

uhhhhhhh ok.  Thanx?

[Cliner97]

'Country Joe And The Fish' with top billing over Zep. LMAO

[joanzitte]

The main riff is always on the base. Then Jimmy and Jonesy puts the overdubs and guitars. Amazing track!!

[DeadmanC]

why does the main riff continues so long?

[Tengent]

LZ tends to do that.

[JimmyPatrickYoung]

i no and it ROCKS

[FlavorRed]

The riff repeats it self a lot but then you go back and arrange the music, add other instruments and stuff on some of the parts, and it makes sense.

[gbear4]

You also have to consider the music that this song was influenced by. Eastern music can be very repetitive/trance-like.

[FlavorRed]

I have considered that. But like I said, the music then gets arranged and the vocals come in and the other instruments. So when you hear the final product, you don't realize the same riff repeats it self a bunch. I have written and arranged songs with the same two chords playing the same thing the whole entire time. But then I add all these different riffs and stuff on top of it and you don't even notice that basic structure or "back bone" of the music repeats it self.

[bayamrob]

no strings either. outtake of a first take?

[Queenfan778]

not strings, Paige took used his guitar as the string, flipped it up, and bam,

[gbear4]

No, he didn't. On the recording there are "string" parts(MAY be keyboard strings), but it certainly wasn't Paige using the bow on the guitar.

[scorpion779946]

It was Jones on a Melotron (incredibly complexy tape-replay machine.)

[gbear4]

That sounds right, actually.

[alexledzepguy]

Session string players were employed in the recording of kashmir, Jones would add little touches of his own and be left to to all of it for live takes.

[HumptyKing]

If you listen very close Robert will come to you at last...indeed you can hear his beautiful moaning in the background

[5thbeatlerj]

I started a group with this song hoping folks would use it to add thier own vocals. Didn't catch on. Would have been better than the American Idol out-takes. Anyhow the comment on Down By the Seaside, by Newdressnodisco was me, My daughter hadn't logged out and I failed to notice untill I had already posted it. I do have a few more things on the CD to posts someday.

[carbiduis]

you may be interested in my video, its inspired by white summer/ kashmir, its titled "bonnaroo monatge" no lyrics, but the guitar work sounds kinda like white summer, or atleast has the same type of feel

[Les1469]

is this an outtake or just the orginal recording sans vocals

[DeptOfRedundancyDept]

It's an out-take, I haven't compared them side by side but I'm pretty sure there are some major differences. If you listen very close Plant is in there, just barely. Check out my "Down By THe Seaside", and "In the light" videos, there are cool versions.

[darkfpc]

It sounds very nice and i wish i could sing on it but there are some mistakes. (the bridge)

But good job! :)

[5thbeatlerj]

Thanks for watching. Sing play guitar, bang a drum, whatever you do . (P.S. This is Led Zeppelin playing, it's an outtake from Physical Graffiti)

[5thbeatlerj]

Please use this video to record your own version of Kashmir, and add it to the "Kashmir (Naked)" Group!!!
