JAKARTA - From the dying coal The Yardbirds, Jimmy Page, the band's third guitar hero after Eric aired and Jeff Beck, set up a new formation. With the joining of Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones, the new era was born under the flag of Led Zeppelin. This very talented group of musicians began pioneering new roads for rock and roll into the 1970s.
Jordan Potter from Far Out Magazine, in general, the Page pool is perfect. The band reached a good balance, realizing a classic rock group with The Who and The Rolling Stones, with a global stadium tour and a hedonistic trend. However, on several occasions, especially towards the end of the 70s, Led Zeppelin showed symptoms of dissonance and bitterness.
Ahead of the 1979 album In Through the Out Door, tensions peaked as party-like Page and Bonham lifestyles began to affect their professional libido. Meanwhile, Plant and bassist John Paul Jones are more dedicated to studio exploitation, come on time and do most of the album work.
During this period, Led Zeppelin operates in two parts, with Page and Bonham often recording their parts during late-night sessions.
Plant captures the essence of this dysfunctional and near-dead phase in the classic song of this album, Carouselambra. In his opening song, the vocalist sang: 'Who was your word / Where did you go? / Where was your helping? / Where was your bow?
"I think part of the Carouselambra is good, especially the dark songs Pagey developed," Plant said in a 2003 conversation with Mojo. And now I really regret it because the lyrics of Carouselambra are actually about the environment and the situation. The whole Led Zeppelin story in his last years was in that song... and I can't hear his words!
While reflecting on the 1991 album In Through the Out Door in an interview with Australian music journalist totaling Yorke, Jones argued that, due to Page's absence, his bass composition became the foundation of most of the footage.
"It looks like Robert and I have to practice first, and basically we're writing an album, only the two of us," recalled Jones. We're quite often left alone, with John [Bonham], so we tend to continue, in my opinion. I think you can say that In Through The Out Door is my album, just like Presence is Jimmy's album.
Unfortunately, Led Zeppelin will only stay together for another year after In Through the Out Door. On September 25, 1980, Bonham was found dead; the cause of death was later revealed due to shortness of breath after drinking overnight.
Instead of looking for a replacement, Led Zeppelin disbanded in honor of his late friend. In a press release on December 4, 1980, the band announced to its fans: We hope to be known that the loss of our best friend and the deep respect we have for his family, together with a sense of harmony that is not divided that we and our managers feel, have made us decide that we cannot continue like this.
