      @KristianaCembre 4 года назад

      gregg4164 your comment is part of the problem that women in the music industry have, especially in relation to the genre of rock, the assumption that men must be better. When it comes to hiring session musicians, and band members, people always go to men first, and if a woman gets hired the assumption is that it’s not deserved, that she couldn’t have possibly deserved it. While there may be guys who can play better than her, there would also be women who can play better than her, but she is the ones given this opportunity because Nikki thinks she deserves it!

    Nikki, keep making these videos, they rock! It is amazing to me how many people were influenced by Zeppelin. Clearly others like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck were also highly influential, but, so many of the more heavier rock players...its Zeppelin. Rock on!

    I wish Sixx would do more of these shows. He was doing a good thing, and it was great how he was mixing in some younger and independent guitarists with some of the all time greats. It’s cool seeing the excitement of the younger hungry people and just ridiculously fun as a fan watching what an excited fanboy Sixx himself can be watching someone like Vai shredding while talking about his days with Zappa.

    Interesting that she brought up the Zep dynamic. If you find their original appearance on Danish TV and pay close attention, it becomes very obvious that Jones is holding it all down while the rest of the guys play with the space around him. Bonham is laying back, playing off Page while page is just getting ideas from Plant and the others. I love this kind of dynamic, and for me as a drummer, it's the best way to express myself and influence the groove and feel. I would really suggest trying to find that, no matter which instrument you play, including vocals. That is my dream guitar btw! PS, That last riff sounded a lot like BVB to me.
