Nicole19111 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 After listening to "The Ocean" by Led Zeppelin for the first time on headphones, I realized someone saying something before the music starts. It is something like this: "We've done four already, but now we're steady, and then they went 1, 2, 3, 4" Who is saying that? I'm thinking John Bonham, but I could be wrong. Thanks!

Jimmy1104 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I am going to have to throw on my headphones and listen very closely myself. It would probably be difficult to narrow it down to one particular person. If I was a betting man I would go with Bonham myself since the drummer usually starts a session with the count start and banging of his drumsticks.

uart Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I haven't heard that song for ages but I can clearly remember the intro you're talking about. It was sung almost like a little ditty or shanty or something, wasn't it. Going from faint memory here, but I'm pretty sure it didn't sound at all like Page or Plant. I also had the feeling that it was Bonham, though I've never seen a video clip or anything to confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakin Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 That was indeed Bonham. You can also hear him singing in the background of Song Remains the Same at one or two points, if you listen closely enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
