Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture jo_silverhawk Average	#1 by jo_silverhawk at Jan 31, 2006 at 4:28 AM EST
	As people have said, this song seems to be about sex. Indeed, as JumpyJack said, it is one of those songs that makes you wonder why it isn't popular. Awesome song, I love the guitar solos in it.

No Picture Cody Average	#2 by Cody Ballenger at Feb 9, 2006 at 11:38 PM EST
	I am pretty sure that its about an inexperienced person picking up a prostitute and being just blown away, more or less.

No Picture Philip Average	#3 by Philip Senray at Feb 22, 2006 at 7:52 PM EST
	This is probably my favorite Zeppelin song ever. Good question about why doesn't everyone love this song.

No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#4 by Steve at Mar 1, 2006 at 9:43 AM EST
	i'm very sorry, saw it while checking out PG2.

No Picture Len Badass	#5 by Len cullum at Mar 4, 2006 at 8:22 PM EST
	This song is about sex. I wouldn't doubt that it's pointing towards groupies though. This song is freaking AWESOME!!!

No Picture The Penguins Tr Professional Badass	#6 by The Penguins Tried To Kill Me The Other Day at Apr 1, 2007 at 9:51 PM EST
	Jonesy and Page actually came up with this riff while just quote unquote "jamming" together and thought it to be catchy and a good hit. The boys have brains.

No Picture stuart Professional	#7 by stuart finlayson at Jun 26, 2007 at 12:30 PM EST
	Wanton means a whore, or a promiscuous person, so yeah, it must be about groupies.

No Picture Emily Average	#8 by Emily F at Jul 26, 2007 at 4:51 PM EST
	oh and at the end he becomes more expeirienced, and now craves sex!
