Quoted from o-din:

It would be just like imdn then. No songs from the first two albums.
Seriously though, waking up and seeing another thread about another game from another band that I haven't cared about since the 70s, and who really haven't done much of anything since then, makes me wonder what kind of hobby I've signed up for.
Although it has become par for the course over the last few years, it still makes me chuckle a little each time it happens.

Quoted from o-din:

It ended the day In Thru The Out Door was released for many. I remember that day well as we all sat around that evening and reflected. The reviews from the current fans were not good. At the end of it all it was our consensus that day "Hot Dog" was the only redeeming track from that album.

Quoted from o-din:

To put it in perspective, Presence in 1976 was IMO a metal masterpiece, and was great right out of the gate.
Fast forward to 1979, and music had undergone quite a change with punk and new wave now in full force. It was going to take something of epic proportions to keep Zep on the map, and that did not happen.
Instead, it was this is what they have been working on and we have been waiting three years for? Epic fail, game over.

Quoted from o-din:

The op did indeed ask "what do you think?"
Instead of basically telling me to shut up, why don't you tell us your experience of how it was for you being a fan of the band while they were together, going to see them in concert, and being there as each new album was released. I'm sure it would enlighten us all.
I also remember our senior year when we had a rock and roll day in 1979 and Mike Ness pinned this poster to a tree and lit in on fire to a near standing ovation. All ancient history now.

Quoted from o-din:

But apparently you think mine is not as valid as yours. I wasn't the one that told you to stifle yourself. Instead I asked you to tell us your story. Which you did, and I can see why you have absolutely no understanding of how it was at the time.

He was no real fan of theirs. His influences went well beyond blues cover bands and hard rock hit makers of the time. But it was certainly a sign of the time.

Quoted from o-din:

I'm only speaking for myself and would probably be not making as many posts if people like you weren't constantly quoting me and insistent that I should shut up or change my opinion.
Do you really think my opinion or recollection of the past has any bearing on this getting made or not?

Quoted from o-din:

No, you are coming off as a control freak, telling others what to do, and only seeing what you want to see.

Quoted from o-din:

That's what I was saying happened, but apparently doesn't make sense to someone who was very young at the time. I guess I can understand that, but music was in a serious change, and battle lines had been drawn.

Quoted from o-din:

Perhaps you can give me my opinion and recollection of the past that will more suit your liking before you blow a fuse.

Quoted from o-din:

I never said yours was wrong, but since you've made it a point over and over again that mine is, please tell me what it is or should be.

Quoted from MinusWorlds:

You have your experience and I have mine. Stop making it seem like YOURS is right because you "lived" it.

Quoted from o-din:

But apparently you think mine is not as valid as yours. .

Quoted from MinusWorlds:

But that doesn't make MY opinion any less valid than yours.

Quoted from MinusWorlds:

Is my experience more valid somehow? No it's not.

Quoted from o-din:

Are you through now?

Quoted from o-din:

Yeah, it was fun while it lasted.
