Led Zeppelin | Stairway to heaven

Therefore, Stairway to heaven is not a ballad. What then? We see it as a manifesto or a prototype. It is essentially a dual structure, incompatible and irreconcilable, finally broken by the center and at the same time unified by name. It manifests itself most clearly consistent with that which we have identified the essence of "Led Zeppelin" referral to the hybrid, at the confluence of harmonized and will never settled for not having a "personality."

Even at vestimentary what is presented on stage is not a coherent and unified repertoire, a style. Rather, what is staged is the noise, the crossing, the interference as a binder, although this seems paradoxical. And because the unit as a group (remember that Led Zeppelin did not survive, unlike most rock bands in the absence of one of its members) was forged precisely the interference, noise, on the irreconcilable. Balance was forged not unanimous about what, but about the disparity, on blood, not on the vision of a goal, but on the application of the crossroads.

Descend now into the detail to trace the shape of the hybrid, the literal imprint a precise determination to "fitness": The "guitar-violin" by J. Page, or double-headed guitar are like a unicorn or a mermaid. A "monster" in which fully recognizes dual status, the two parties fully integrated neck, reluctant to rest the unique and consistent.
