Dez Dickerson was a guitar prodigy.  In 1979, he earned the spot of lead guitarist for Prince and was a founding member of Prince and the Revolution.  His solo in the song "Little Red Corvette" is considered by Guitar World Magazine to be the 64th greatest of all time.  Leaving Prince and the Revolution, he continued his musical career while also following a pathway to religion.  Today, he is the leader of "We Are Here" Church in Columbia.  Join Tom Price and Lake Stallcup as they spend an hour with one of History's Hook's most fascinating guests.

The tasty riffs of Guitar World Magazine, Travis Barker's Mushroom gummies, and Paul Anka's cover album. Noah Guevara (Meatbodies) "From left to right: Noah Guevara, Chad Ubovich, Casey Hanson, Dylan Fujioka Meatbodies' latest undertaking and borderline lost album, Flora Ocean Tiger Bloomis their most varied and realized work to date. It's a melodic, hook filled rock epic in which frontman and lead guitarist Chad Ubovich faces the trials of sobriety, redemption, reinvention while literally, learning to walk and play again. Resurrection not only accompanies the record, but its production as well, Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom examines themes surrounding love and loss, escapism, defeatism, hedonism, psychedelics and much more. “The last record was more of a cartoon version of who we were– simple and fun without delving into heavy concepts,” recalls Ubovich. "The whole thing before with Meatbodies was never sit down, next part, next part, but I wanted to make something with more depth. After everything that had happened, and my personal life, I was left with this feeling of emptiness and loss. So I wanted to make music that was absent from things– songs that were more about conveying feeling.” March 8th of next year, Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom finally sees its release via In The Red. Its lead single and video “Hole,” out now, is pure alternative rock sweetness and clearly a nod to an amalgamation of shoegaze juggernauts from yesteryear. Backed by a brand-new video by Matt Yoka, “Hole” is immediate, dosed with enough pop and psilocybin to appease fans of both heavy rock and a quality melody. “That was one of the first songs I wrote, and I think it's really indicative of that time,” says Ubovich. “How I was thinking and feeling and what I wanted to accomplish with this LP before I even knew it.”" Excerpt from https://intheredrecords.com/collections/meatbodies Meatbodies: Bandcamp: https://meatbodies-band.bandcamp.com/music Instagram: @meatbodiesofficialauthentic Website: https://linktr.ee/meatbodies Records: https://intheredrecords.com/collections/meatbodies/products Merch: https://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/meatbodies Danketsu 10: Bandcamp: https://patrickshiroishi.bandcamp.com/album/from-a-distance-everything-shines The Vineyard: Instagram: @thevineyardpodcast Website: https://www.thevineyardpodcast.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSn17dSz8kST_j_EH00O4MQ/videos

Happy Birthday to the insanely talented blues artist Ally Venable, who turns 24 today! Ally, whose musical gift is deeply embedded in her soul, has been performing, singing and shredding for almost a decade now -- having first picked up a guitar when she was only 12 years old. Her latest album, Real Gone!, is a stunning collection of inspired songs and also serves as a fitting tribute to many current blues legends. A seasoned road warrior herself, Ally, who comes from a long line of Texas blues guitarists including her idol and inspiration, Stevie Ray Vaughan, is fortunate to count the incomparable Buddy Guy as a mentor — and she performed as part of the Blues legend's Farewell Tour this year. As one of Guitar World Magazine's "15 Top Young Guns," Ally is a beacon for young female guitarists and is very serious about her place as a role model for those just coming up -- she loves to be an inspiration to others and "to be part of their journey."  We explore her inspiration, musical background, what it means for her to be truly at home on stage.  So grab a seat on the Roadcase bus and help us celebrate Ally's birthday on this week's episode of Roadcase!For more info:https://allyvenableband.com/For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comContact: info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Built on a sturdy foundation of virtuosic guitarwork and instrumental heavy bliss, the journey for Rohan Stevenson, aka Ro and his project I Built The Sky has been one lined with immersive releases and resounding critical acclaim, from the project beinghttps://www.guitarworld.com/news/i-built-the-sky-jake-howsam-lowe-coalesce ( declared "prog titans") by Guitar World Magazine to http://www.metalobsession.net/2019/10/27/i-built-the-sky-the-zenith-rise/ (being described as one of the best albums of 2019) for the scintillating full-length The Zenith Rise. It was back in 2019 that https://www.thesoundcheck.org/post/interview-rohan-stevenson-i-built-the-sky (The Soundcheck first caught up with )Stevenson about the goings-on for I Built The Sky At The Time, unknowingly right on the doorstep of the COVID-19 pandemic taking its choking grip worldwide and right before I Built The Sky's EP Coalesce, in conjunction with Jake Howsam Lowe (Plini, The Helix Nebula), and also just before Stevenson unknowingly embarked on one of his last tours for a long while alongside Monuments in Europe and the UK. And while 2020 also saw a new track The Fire Inside, featuring guest vocalist Andy Cizek from Monuments, it's in 2022 that the most ambitious and jaw-dropping I Built The Sky chapter yet will fully take flight with an impending new album The Quiet Place - but on this new endeavour, things are not all what they seem. Promising a reimagined take on an entirely acoustic album, The Quiet Place is acoustic done entirely I Built The Sky-style, traversing ten tracks that weld plenty of progressive brilliance alongside dazzling soundscapes, guest musicians and still plenty of familiar riffy goodness that fans have come to expect from Stevenson over the years. Also with a brand new single out today and the new album dropping this Friday, what better time to catch up with Rohan himself, and today he joins Tiana Speter on Season 2, Episode 2 of the Behind The Soundcheck podcast to chat bringing literal dreams to life, sonic exploration and where his love (and prodigy-like skill) for the guitar first began.

Alex Skolnick has been a guitar hero since the age of fifteen when he became lead guitarist for the Berkley, CA thrash metal institution Testament. It's no wonder: his teacher was none other than virtuoso Joe Satriani who, in his years as an instructor, also taught Steve Vai, Charlie Hunter, and Metallica's Kirk Hammett. Skolnick has also been a member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and was named one of the greatest guitarists of all time as well as one of the fastest guitarists of all time by Guitar World Magazine. Skolnick also plays world music and jazz that ranges far afield from what he writes with Testament. Since 2000, he has recorded five records of nimble and engaging original work with The Alex Skolnick Trio which is simply fantastic. Skolnick dropped in to discuss his storied career with Testament, taking the leap into jazz as a metalhead, the cosmic era of Miles Davis, and the jazz group and record that changed his life: Esbjörn Svensson Trio's Seven Days of Falling. EST was a piano-double bass-drums trio formed in 1993 that blurred genres, merging classical, rock, pop, and techno into an inimitable sound that broke the conventional boundaries of what modern jazz can be. Seven Days of Falling, recorded in 2003, is considered the group's most artful work, charting simultaneously on the pop and jazz charts in Sweden, a milestone for an instrumental album. We paired this singular, beautiful, moody masterpiece with a stark wine like no other: Recaredo Terrers, Brut Nature Cava 2017. This Spanish sparkling wine has been produced in the traditional hands-on manner since 1924, from organic grapes aged five years on the lees (spent yeast cells used in fermentation), giving the wine sumptuous depth. Typically this imbues sparkling wine with yeast and cream flavors but this wine has none of that. Brut Nature indeed, this zero dosage cava (no further wine/sweetening added in the fermentation process) is crisp, clean, and biting, like a white wine razor across the palette. Guest: Guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament, The Alex Skolnick Trio) Album: Essbjörn Svensson Trio, Seven Days of Falling Wine: Recaredo Terrers, Brut Nature Cava 2017

Guitar World Magazine called Alex Skolnick one of the greatest guitarists of all time and in this episode, he joins us from New York City to talk about his illustrious music career. Alex was one of the founding members of heavy metal band Testament, who along with Metallica and Exodus were among the biggest heavy metal bands to come out of the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980's. Alex would later go on to study jazz music and form his own jazz trio and also play with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 324 with Lisa S Johnson the author of Immortal Axes: Guitars that Rock. From the photographer of the critically acclaimed 108 Rock Star Guitars comes Immortal Axes: Guitars That Rock (September 2021, $60), a new collection of beautifully shot guitar photos, documenting the legendary instruments of more than 150 music icons, including B.B. King, Joan Jett, Kurt Cobain, Keith Richards, St. Vincent, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Lita Ford, and Buck Owens. Armed with a macro lens, an incredible eye for detail, and a truly inspiring vision, Lisa S. Johnson takes the world of fine art photography on a rock and roll joyride. Johnson's work conjures the abstract yet possesses a sensual and ethereal aura, illustrating the intimate wear of each instrument featured. Johnson's debut book received rave reviews, and in Immortal Axes, she raises the bar even higher to capture the imagination of music fans. Each intimate photograph is accompanied by a touch of musical history, an anecdote or personal storytelling moment. “Guitars are special instruments,” writes Peter Frampton in his foreword. “Like Stradivarius and Guarneri violins made in the 18th century, they need to be treasured and documented for future generations. In many ways, that's what this wonderful book is all about: preserving guitar history.” The late great Les Paul once commented, “Lisa's work is wonderfully evocative, images unlike any I have ever seen.” High praise, indeed, from a legendary guitar pioneer. “It was an honor to work on this important book with Lisa over the last few years,” states Immortal Axes book editor Brad Tolinski, who spent 25 years as Editor in Chief of Guitar World Magazine. “Her diligence in pursuing these guitars and capturing their true character was inspiring, and her personal memories of her encounters help make each image leap off the page. You may never get a chance to hold these guitars or see them in person. Few of us ever will. But no worries - Lisa and her camera have it covered, and as you have seen, it was in the best of hands.”

This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 324 with Lisa S Johnson the author of Immortal Axes: Guitars that Rock. From the photographer of the critically acclaimed 108 Rock Star Guitars comes Immortal Axes: Guitars That Rock (September 2021, $60), a new collection of beautifully shot guitar photos, documenting the legendary instruments of more than 150 music icons, including B.B. King, Joan Jett, Kurt Cobain, Keith Richards, St. Vincent, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Lita Ford, and Buck Owens. Armed with a macro lens, an incredible eye for detail, and a truly inspiring vision, Lisa S. Johnson takes the world of fine art photography on a rock and roll joyride. Johnson's work conjures the abstract yet possesses a sensual and ethereal aura, illustrating the intimate wear of each instrument featured. Johnson's debut book received rave reviews, and in Immortal Axes, she raises the bar even higher to capture the imagination of music fans. Each intimate photograph is accompanied by a touch of musical history, an anecdote or personal storytelling moment. “Guitars are special instruments,” writes Peter Frampton in his foreword. “Like Stradivarius and Guarneri violins made in the 18th century, they need to be treasured and documented for future generations. In many ways, that's what this wonderful book is all about: preserving guitar history.” The late great Les Paul once commented, “Lisa's work is wonderfully evocative, images unlike any I have ever seen.” High praise, indeed, from a legendary guitar pioneer. “It was an honor to work on this important book with Lisa over the last few years,” states Immortal Axes book editor Brad Tolinski, who spent 25 years as Editor in Chief of Guitar World Magazine. “Her diligence in pursuing these guitars and capturing their true character was inspiring, and her personal memories of her encounters help make each image leap off the page. You may never get a chance to hold these guitars or see them in person. Few of us ever will. But no worries - Lisa and her camera have it covered, and as you have seen, it was in the best of hands.”

Often described by fans as “Avril Lavigne with a hint of Van Halen,” Bellvalaire has made a name for herself by creating original music with a rock twist and her signature solos. The young artist made her on-stage debut in 2014, when she performed on Broadway alongside Tony winners Lena Hall and Robin de Jesús in the Dearly Beloved Prince tribute show in New York City. Bellvalaire moved to Los Angeles the following year and soon after booked lead roles playing guitar in national campaigns and commercials for GMC, KIA, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Bellvalaire has spent the last several years touring around the world. Her skills have landed her spots with Nik West, “I Am King” – The Michael Jackson Experience, Guns N' Roses tribute band Paradise Kitty, and more. Now she is working on original music, including recent single “Elastic.” The iconic music video showcases Bellvalaire – who is also an accomplished aerial acrobat – performing over the top stunts while playing guitar. The feat has garnered attention from such iconic publications as Guitar World Magazine, Hollywood Life, and Guitar Girl Magazine.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Led Zeppelin fue un grupo británico de hard rock fundado en 1968 por el guitarrista Jimmy Page, quien había pertenecido a The Yardbirds. La banda estuvo integrada por John Paul Jones como bajista y teclista, el vocalista Robert Plant y John Bonham a la batería (que había coincidido con Plant en The Band of Joy). Led Zeppelin presentó elementos de un amplio espectro de influencias, como el blues, el rock and roll, el soul, la música celta, la música india, el folk, y el country. Más de treinta años después de la disgregación de la banda en 1980, la música de Led Zeppelin continúa vendiéndose, disfruta de una amplia difusión radiofónica, y ha demostrado ser una de las bandas más influyentes en la música rock. Hasta la fecha, ha vendido más de 300 millones de álbumes en el mundo, incluidos 111 millones sólo en los Estados Unidos, . Es, junto a los Beatles, la banda con más discos de diamante de la historia de la música (otorgados cada diez millones de ventas en EE. UU.). Los discos con esta certificación son: Led Zeppelin IV (23 millones), Physical Graffiti (15 millones), Led Zeppelin II (12 millones), Houses of the Holy (11 millones) , Led Zeppelin I (10 millones) y Box Set (10 millones). En 2004, la revista Rolling Stone los clasificó en el número 14 en su lista de los «100 artistas más grandes de todos los tiempos» Led Zeppelin se formó a finales de 1968 cuando Jimmy Page, que ya tenía cierta reputación en el Reino Unido por su labor como músico de estudio y por ser el último guitarrista de la banda The Yardbirds, buscaba nuevos músicos para su nuevo proyecto, The New Yardbirds (nombre que provocaba ciertos problemas legales), constituido a partir de la disolución de The Yardbirds. El nombre de la banda surgió a raíz de un chiste de Keith Moon, baterista de The Who (en una sesión de grabación de una canción de Jeff Beck en el que participaban Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Entwistle y el propio Keith Moon), cuando dijo que la banda fracasaría y caería «como un zeppelin de plomo». El nombre surgió en un principio como Lead Zeppelin (“zeppelin de plomo”), pero a recomendación de Peter Grant, el mánager de la banda, se suprimió la a de lead, para evitar problemas de pronunciación por parte de los hablantes norteamericanos, ya que las vocales ea se pronuncian como una i en el inglés de Norteamérica, ​ Sin embargo, el bajista de The Who, John Entwistle, posee su propia versión de los hechos: «Hace unos cuatro años empecé a estar harto de los Who, así que hablé con un tío que ahora es jefe de producción de Led Zeppelin. Estuve hablando con él en un club, en Nueva York, y le dije “Sí, estoy pensando en dejar el grupo y formar el mío. Lo voy a llamar Led Zeppelin. Y como portada del disco voy a poner el Hindenburg en llamas, ya sabes, todo este asunto...” Y unos dos meses después, empezó a trabajar con Jimmy Page, y como estaban buscando un nombre, él sugirió Led Zeppelin, a Page le gustó y salieron con la misma portada de disco que yo había planeado» El jefe de producción al que se refiere Entwistle podría ser Richard Cole, futuro road manager de la banda. The Yardbirds se separó en 1968, y Page y el bajista de la banda, Chris Dreja, comenzaron a buscar miembros para una nueva formación, mientras innovaban su música junto al guitarrista actual de The Bulens, J. Jencquel. El primer candidato para el puesto de vocalista fue Terry Reid, quien se negó a ser parte de la banda, pero recomendó a un amigo suyo llamado Robert Plant, ​ En agosto de 1968, Page, Dreja y Peter Grant viajaron a Birmingham para ver la banda de Plant, Hobbstweedle. Plant aceptó la oferta de Page para entrar en la banda en una reunión en la casa de Page. ​ Plant tenía un amigo que tocaba la batería, John Bonham, que también se uniría al grupo. ​ Poco después de la llegada de Bonham, Dreja abandonó la música para convertirse en fotógrafo, por lo que los tres componentes de la banda se ven obligados a buscar un nuevo bajista. John Paul Jones, un amigo de Page y conocido músico de sesión, se enteró de la noticia y le propuso a su amigo su entrada en la formación, quedando cerrada la banda. Lo primero que hicieron fue ensayar un blues normal de 12 compases. En ese momento se vio la "química" que había entre los cuatro miembros. Su primer cometido fue acabar una gira pendiente en Escandinavia bajo el nombre de The New Yardbirds, en la que tocaron muchas de las canciones que forman parte de su álbum debut. Después de la gira, y ya bajo el nombre de Led Zeppelin, Peter Grant, mánager de la banda, otorgó a la banda 200 000 dólares a cambio de producirles su primer álbum. Tal suma de dinero provenía del sello Atlantic Records, que estaba interesada en fichar el mayor número posible de grupos que surgían durante aquella época amparados bajo el estilo blues y hard rock, algo que Led Zeppelin cumplía a la perfección, por lo que Atlantic contrató a la banda sin siquiera haberlos visto, solamente bajo la recomendación de Dusty Springfield. Su primer disco fue publicado el 12 de enero de 1969, bajo el nombre de Led Zeppelin. Fue grabado en apenas una semana (grabado, mezclado y editado) en los estudios Olympic de Londres en octubre de 1968, empleando apenas 30 horas de estudio y sin casi horas de ensayo. Al principio, el público británico no respondía muy efusivamente al lanzamiento del álbum, producido por Page, lo que se convertiría en una constante a lo largo de la historia del grupo, un hecho que provocó que la banda no publicase sencillos en el Reino Unido. Tras embarcarse en su primera gira norteamericana y gracias a las explosivas actuaciones de la banda, el álbum tuvo un éxito inmenso en crítica y público, sobre todo en Estados Unidos. La prensa calificó al álbum como heavy metal, algo con lo que la banda no estaba de acuerdo. Robert Plant declaró que «es injusto calificar a la banda como heavy metal, ya que un tercio de nuestra música es acústica». Poco después de la edición de este álbum debut, la banda decidió no publicar ningún sencillo en Inglaterra, deteriorando la promoción del disco y de los trabajos posteriores. Como curiosidad cabe destacar que, durante la gira de apoyo al disco Led Zeppelin en Dinamarca, el grupo actuó bajo el nombre de The Nobs por prohibición de la baronesa Eva von Zeppelin (familiar del inventor del dirigible) a utilizar su nombre real, quien arguyó que eran unos "monos gritones", además de criticar la portada del disco, foto cortesía del exbajista de la banda, Chris Dreja, Además, las autoridades de Singapur impidieron a la banda entrar en el país para dar un concierto debido a que tenían el pelo demasiado largo. Durante 1969, la banda se las arregló para terminar las giras europea y americana y grabar durante las mismas su segundo trabajo, ​ que fue publicado el 22 de octubre de dicho año bajo el nombre de Led Zeppelin II. Este álbum los consagró definitivamente, llegando al número 1 en las listas británica y estadounidense (destronando al Abbey Road de The Beatles, el cual había permanecido 11 semanas en el número 1. ​ y permaneciendo allí durante siete semanas, probablemente gracias al éxito de canciones como "Whole Lotta Love" y "Heartbreaker". Como apoyo al disco, la banda dio un par de giras más por Estados Unidos cada vez ante audiencias más grandes debido al aumento de popularidad que supuso la publicación del segundo álbum del grupo, alargando los conciertos durante más de tres horas. Para la composición del tercer disco de Led Zeppelin, los miembros de la formación se retiraron a Bron-Yr-Aur, una remota casa rural de Gales, en 1970, donde también grabaron el material allí ideado. El 5 de octubre de 1970 se publica su tercer disco, Led Zeppelin III, tras el cual algunos acusaron al grupo de ser un montaje comercial, debido al carácter íntimo y acústico de las canciones contenidas en dicho álbum, que a pesar de no ser muy bien recibido tanto por la crítica como por sus admiradores, contenía composiciones que con el tiempo se convirtieron en clásicos, como "Immigrant Song", el primer single de la carrera del grupo a pesar de sus negativas a que fuese publicado, o "Since I've Been Loving You". La banda entera y sobre todo Jimmy Page se tomó personalmente estas críticas, lo que provocó que su cuarto trabajo, en su edición original, no tuviera título ni nada que permitiera identificarlo, a excepción de cuatro extraños símbolos (Zoso.svg), uno para cada miembro de la banda, ​ Este álbum, reconocido comúnmente como Untitled y principalmente como Led Zeppelin IV por inercia, publicado el 8 de noviembre de 1971, fue el LP más vendido de la banda (actualmente está en la ubicación nº 4 de los álbumes más vendidos de la historia según la RIAA), en el que destaca su mayor éxito, "Stairway to Heaven", además de clásicos de la banda como "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll", "Going to California" y "When The Levee Breaks", de la cual destaca el imponente sonido atronador y pesado de la batería de John Bonham. El solo de guitarra de Stairway To Heaven fue elegido por los lectores de la revista Guitar World Magazine como "el mejor solo de todos los tiempos" l disco vino acompañado de un ligero cambio de imagen de los integrantes del grupo, quienes comenzaron a vestir vistosas ropas y extravagantes collares y joyas al estilo de las grandes estrellas de la época. Es también durante este tiempo cuando se popularizaron los excesos de Led Zeppelin, ya que empezaron a viajar en un jet privado (llamado "The Starship" alquilando plantas enteras de los hoteles en sus estancias durante las giras. Hasta julio de 2006, el cuarto disco de Led Zeppelin ha vendido 23 millones de copias en Estados Unidos, convirtiéndose en el cuarto álbum más vendido de la historia, Su siguiente disco, Houses of the Holy, publicado el 28 de marzo de 1973, supuso una nueva idea en el grupo, mezclando diversos estilos musicales, blues, rock, folk, e incluso matices reggae. Como siempre, el álbum causó controversia entre los críticos a pesar de tener excelentes ventas. La canción "Houses of the Holy" fue grabada inicialmente para incluirse en su álbum homónimo, aunque finalmente aparece en su siguiente trabajo.La portada del disco también tuvo su polémica, ya que en ella aparecen los hijos de Robert Plant desnudos escalando una especie de cuesta empedrada (que se trata de la calzada del gigante en Irlanda del Norte), por lo que fue prohibido en algunos países, entre ellos España. La gira de presentación del disco fue multitudinaria, consiguiendo en un concierto en Florida la cifra de 56 800 espectadores, superando el récord anterior ostentado por The Beatles,4​ ingresando ese día 309 000 dólares. Para sentirse más cómodos en la grabación de sus álbumes, Led Zeppelin crearon en 1974 su propio sello discográfico, Swan Song, aunque dependiendo todavía de su compañía discográfica Atlantic Records. El nombre de la compañía viene de una de las pocas canciones inéditas del grupo. A partir de ese momento, la banda hizo todas sus grabaciones bajo este sello. El logotipo de la compañía, que reproduce al dios griego Apolo, se convirtió en el símbolo de Led Zeppelin, incluyéndose en muchos objetos de merchandising de la banda a partir de entonces. Dicha compañía fue rentable durante la vida de Led Zeppelin, aunque tres años después de la separación de la banda, el sello tuvo que cerrar. Entre 1973 y 1974 la banda se tomó un descanso de su frenética combinación de grabaciones y espectaculares giras, dedicándose a realizar colaboraciones, componer canciones y a otros muchos asuntos no tan relacionados con la música. El 24 de febrero de 1975 se publicó Physical Graffit, el primer trabajo concebido desde Swan Song. Se trataba de un álbum doble que además de contener piezas nuevas como "Kashmir", de la que Robert Plant dijo que era la canción definitiva de Led Zeppelin, incluía material descartado de álbumes anteriores. Este álbum es considerado uno de los mejores de la banda, probablemente por la cantidad y diversidad de temas. 1975 supuso la coronación de Led Zeppelin como una de las mejores bandas de rock de la historia, tanto por la crítica como por las actuaciones en directo de ese año, que fueron apoteósicas y multitudinarias. Sin embargo, el acelerado ritmo de trabajo de Led Zeppelin se vio interrumpido cuando en el verano de ese mismo año Robert Plant sufrió un grave accidente automovilístico en la isla griega de Rodas, dejando a su mujer Maureen al borde de la muerte. El accidente fue seguido por una difícil y larga recuperación que se extendió aproximadamente un año hasta finales de 1976. Fue en este año en el que se preparó a toda velocidad el siguiente trabajo de la banda, Presence, publicado el 31 de marzo de 1976 y grabado entre la ciudad alemana de Múnich y Malibú, en California, caracterizado por no tener ninguna canción acústica y no hacer uso de ningún teclado. Es un álbum marcado por el estado convaleciente de Robert Plant, quien grabó sus tomas vocales sentado en una silla de ruedas o en muletas. El álbum fue recibido con diversidad de opiniones por crítica y público debido a su carácter más suave y lento. Jimmy Page siempre dijo que este es su disco preferido, y el tema que da inicio al disco, "Achilles Last Stand", su tema favorito con sus más de 10 minutos. Posteriormente editaron su primer disco en vivo, The Song Remains The Same, banda sonora de la película del mismo nombre, la cual muestra unas actuaciones de 1973 en Nueva York que finalizaron una gira estadounidense, mezcladas con unas escenas de fantasía ideadas por la propia banda. Sin embargo, el disco caló negativamente en el Reino Unido debido al potente auge de las nuevas bandas de punk británicas, considerándose a la banda como "obsoleta" Tras volver a los escenarios en 1977, de nuevo Robert Plant volvió a verse afectado por la desgracia, esta vez por la muerte de su hijo Karac Pendra de seis años, a causa de una infección estomacal. ​ Este hecho marcó profundamente a Plant, llegando a plantearse su continuidad dentro de la banda. Sin embargo, el vocalista recapacitó y en 1978 la banda volvió al estudio, concretamente al del grupo ABBA en Estocolmo, para grabar el que sería inesperadamente su último álbum de estudio, In Through the Out Door publicado el 15 de agosto de 1979. Desgraciadamente, de nuevo encontrarán problemas para terminar el álbum ya que por aquel entonces, Jimmy Page y John Bonham se encontraban en un estado de adicción a la heroína y al alcohol respectivamente, un hecho que hace de In Through the Out Door el único álbum de Led Zeppelin que contiene los primeros y únicos temas de la banda en los que no figura Page como autor. En la gira de 1979 se vio por primera vez a unos Led Zeppelin no tan concentrados en la improvisación (era un rasgo bastante característico de su compenetración como banda en directo), y más centrados en las canciones en sí. A pesar de ello, una audiencia de cerca de 120 000 personas respaldó a la banda en un concierto en Copenhague. La banda había llegado a un estado de madurez, tanto a nivel compositivo como a nivel personal habiendo apartado ya la mayoría de sus excesos y reemplazándolos por profesionalismo. Por aquel entonces eran de las únicas bandas capaces de llenar un estadio frente al fracaso comercial de las bandas punk rock surgidas entonces. Durante esta época, Robert Plant había estado pensando en abandonar la banda debido al cansancio ocasionado por la gira de 1979, aunque Peter Grant consiguió convencerlo para continuar. Dicha gira se extendió hasta 1980, cuando Bonham tuvo que ser ingresado en un hospital de Núremberg, Alemania, debido a una indigestión, aunque la prensa especuló con las drogas y el alcohol como posibles causas. La banda acabó la gira en Berlín el 7 de julio del mismo año. Con la llegada de 1980 Led Zeppelin volvió a las grandes giras europeas, anunciando un nuevo gran tour por Norteamérica ese año, que nunca pudo ser realizado ya que el día 25 de septiembre fue la fecha más trágica en la historia del grupo: John Bonham murió en The Old Mill House, la mansión de Page en Windsor, asfixiado por la aspiración accidental de su propio vómito provocado por el consumo excesivo de alcohol, ​ No se encontraron drogas en el cuerpo del baterista, como se había especulado, La idea de continuar nunca se cruzó por la mente de los restantes integrantes de la banda a pesar de los rumores de la incorporación de nuevos bateristas. Elaboraron un comunicado oficial en el que explicaron que ya nada era lo mismo sin Bonham, y que era inútil continuar sin él. Al tener firmado un contrato que los obligaba a sacar un nuevo álbum, y ante la negativa de grabar nuevas canciones sin Bonham, se optó por buscar material inédito hasta entonces que conformó el LP Coda (1982), disco que presenta canciones que se descartaron en la realización de discos anteriores y alguna toma en directo de canciones ya grabadas. En los años siguientes los integrantes de Zeppelin mantuvieron su decisión de no reunirse. Solo en esporádicas ocasiones se los vio juntos en un escenario. Últimamente Page y Plant decidieron encontrarse para hacer algo juntos, grabando algún disco conjunto algunos años después de la separación de la banda, pero jamás utilizando el nombre o referencias a Led Zeppelin. Una de las obsesiones líricas de Led Zeppelin, en especial de Robert Plant, es la obra de J. R. R. Tolkien. Así podemos encontrar varias referencias a las novelas del escritor británico en canciones como "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", "Ramble On" o "The Battle of Evermore"; y en el título de la canción "Misty Mountain Hop" Además hay referencias a la mitología escandinava, como por ejemplo en la canción "Immigrant Song" en donde menciona "We come from the land of the ice and snow" pudiendo hacer referencia a Asgard, o también donde nombra «Hammer of the Gods» pudiendo hacer referencia al martillo de Thor, Mjolnir, y donde clama «Valhalla I am coming» donde Valhalla es el paraíso al cual los héroes van, al morir en combate. Parece ser que la inspiración de esta canción hay que encontrarla en un viaje a Islandia del grupo, en el año 1970. Muchos de los mitos de la banda que se mantienen hasta la actualidad son los rumores acerca de que la banda practicaba magia negra y que en los temas "Dazed & Confused", "Whole Lotta Love", "The Battle of Evermore", "Stairway to Heaven", "Four Sticks", "No Quarter" y "Kashmir" aparecían mensajes satánicos, cosa que generó controversia sobre las producciones de la banda. La controversia más famosa está relacionada con "Stairway to Heaven", ya que han sido bastantes personas quienes aseguran haber percibido mensajes satánicos («Here's to my sweet satan» / «Aquí está mi dulce Satanás») reproduciendo la canción al revés, cosa que siempre ha sido negada por la banda. Otra de las canciones que, presuntamente, contienen mensajes de carácter satánico es «Dazed and Confused». Page siempre estuvo interesado en la vida y obra de Aleister Crowley, llegando a adquirir la mansión de veraneo de este, Cabe también destacar que al final del disco Led Zeppelin III puede escucharse una famosa cita de Crowley, que dice: «Haz lo que tú quieras, será toda Ley».
