How come searching OTHAFA does not directly link to this page? Instead, it takes you to the "Search Results" page, where the only result is this song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.17.83 (talk) 22:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Outro

[edit]

Allmusic says it's a harpsichord and I'm inclined to believe them. If a source for the claim that the outro was manipulated guitar is provided, that information can be re-inserted. -albrozdude 05:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Page stated in a 1991 "Guitar World" interview that the outro was a synthesizer, and that if you listen carefully you can hear it playing throughout the song. I'm removing the trivia bit. ScottSwan 12:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strange that it sounds exactly like an octave-coupled electric harpsichord running through a reverb tank. Now we have people claiming that the patently obvious steel guitar is a synthesizer to reconcile the various theories offered by Page. The fact of the matter is that Page isn't always the best source when it comes to this kind of stuff. JE1977 04:40, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Content?

[edit]

There is practically no comment about the content of the lyrics as a whole, and no mention of the claim at The Lord of the Rings that the song refors to the trilogy. While I'm not a scholar of those matters, it's hard to believe it has never been mentioned in all the articles and books and webpages concerning zeppelinology. --Oop (talk) 15:10, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
