well, Zep, along with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple and the likes, started the trend of those great heavy riffs... so youre really listening to the birth of metal through rock there. In fact, Toni Iommi (of black sabbath) was actualy IN Jethro Tull for a short time. He performed with them... once or twice i believe for a tv performance, but unfortunatly they used the album track durring the performace so I dont know if a live cut of him actualy playing with them exists. I think they did Song For Jeffery with them (Tull is a fave band of mine too)
Metallica got old. I think its sad when you can prefer Load/Reload over St. Anger, but the later was horrible, and the lyrics sounded like they were written by an autistic malnurished etheopian with a heroin problem ("Look out motherfuckers here I come / Gonna make my head home / The sons of bitches tried to take my head / Tried to make me someone else instead"?? christ in a carbomb thats horrid).

Me too! there are bands that need the two singers, too, like Amorphis. I heard from... I think Tim told me actualy... that Mikael uses a particular breathing technique with his growls that makes it undamaging to his voice. seeing how his growl has actualy gotten DEEPER (as oposed to In Flames where the guy can barely growl anymore. It sounds like Kornweigian near-death metal), I believe it.
