"Rock and Roll" stands as one of the best-known songs in the band's catalogue. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has said that this song came to be written as a spontaneous jam session, whilst the band were trying (and failing) to finish the track "Four Sticks", at the Headley Grange mansion they had rented in Hampshire, England to record the track.〔"Classic Albums", "Led Zeppelin IV", first broadcast on BBC Radio 1, 1992.〕〔Jackson, James (8 January 2010). . ''The Times''. Retrieved 21 May 2014.〕 Drummer John Bonham played the introduction in triplets and Page added a guitar riff. The tapes were rolling and fifteen minutes later the basis of the song was down. Said Page: Page also commented: To achieve the distinctive guitar sound on the track, Page plugged his guitar directly into the mixing console, bypassing the traditional amplifier and microphone setup. The song structure was completed in thirty minutes. The working title for the recording was "It's Been a Long Time". "Rock and Roll" is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where all four members share the composer credit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rock and Roll (Led Zeppelin song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
