What is that Eminem song that sounds like Kashmir? I always thought it took a sample from Kashmir with that guitar riff, so it should be mentioned as the page mentions other people who have sampled it. DarkSideOfTheSpoon 22:27, 27 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

"Lose Yourself"? It's similar, but not identical. And if we list every Led Zep ripoff, this could go on for quite a while.  :) Rob 16:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

The following was on the description of the initial ascending patter: which Jimmy Page used for several years to tune his guitar. I don't see how this could be the case. The guitar tuning used is D-modal and the riff is only played on two strings. It could be used to check that those two were in the correct pitch, but wouldn't give any information on tuning the other strings. KayEss | talk 11:45, 5 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Do we really need the "Longest LZ Songs" section? Nichlemn 02:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

I asked myself this too. I found it moderately interesting, but it's kind of out of place here.--TheUniversal 01:00, 24 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Lyrics

I'm removing the lyrics--they're almost certainly copyrighted. (If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.)Rob 16:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Bonham's drums

The description of the recording method for Bonham's drumming in this article is identicle to that of When the Levee Breaks. I think this is an error and am tempted to remove the reference from this page. -albrozdude 06:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

In football, from time to time, I hear the tune of Kashmir being played during Eagles games. --69.67.234.249 01:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Pop Will Eat Itself ripped the riff.

Other versions

What, no reference to Bond's version? --67.83.148.217 (talk) 18:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Was about to mention that version. Also I think Justin Timberlake samples it in one of his songs. Gemfyre (talk) 10:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Heavy Metal?

According to this article, this is a "heavy metal" song. I disagree with this. This song does not sound like "heavy metal" to me (or at least, heavy metal as I know it). Is it considered heavy metal simply because there isn't anything better to call it, or is it truly heavy metal because there's some sort of official definition of heavy metal (like the sort of definition that makes Antarctica a desert or something)?
