Contradictory?

[edit]

The album became the first album by a rock band to debut at #1 on the Billboard album chart (Elton John had previously accomplished this feat with Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and Rock of the Westies, as had Stevie Wonder with Songs in the Key of Life)

What's that supposed to mean? Elton John wasn't a band, and Wonder wasn't rock? I'm going to change that to simply state the record debuted at #1, if nobody can explain this. -Freekee 05:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, way too much detail and should be pulled. Your version is much more succinct. I think that the parenthetical explanation is that yes, LZ was the first ROCK BAND to debut at #1. Yes, EJ did it but, as you said, he's not a band and SW is neither a band nor rock. Cheers! FiggazWithAttitude (talk) 14:15, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Sex Icon

[edit]

Interestingly enough, I've never heard such claims prior to reading this article. Is this legitimate or merely veiled vandalism? Charles M. Reed 01:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The name

[edit]
The album was named by the group as such, because of their recent problems and the rise of punk music, trying to get back into the public mind is like "trying to get in through the 'Out' door, than through the 'In' door".

Sounds plausible, but should have a source. - Face 15:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I'm sorry, but the title is a joke. It signifies anal sex. Huh? 81.153.158.231 (talk) 20:19, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

cf 'shake for me, girl, I wanna be your back door man' (Whole Lotta Love)86.150.53.214 (talk) 18:33, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yup :) 81.153.158.167 (talk) 11:38, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know about this, gentleman, but I have wondered. Yes, there is that song "Whole Lotta Love", off of the second album, with those lyrics, however, in this case the topic is different I would wager. Zeppelin could be raucous, but they were never really pernicious, cruel, or overtly crude. It was part of their swagger, their show, if you would. Essentially, they were a very intelligent and gifted band, and I think this final album "In through the Outdoor" reveals the sensitive, refined character of their music better than any of their previous seven. And I believe this nature to have been always latent within the band, and even with Pagey himself, ironically. (...) Concerning the title, one must ask Jimmy. (John G. Lewis (talk) 20:40, 19 January 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Backdoor man- is used in lots of blues songs... doesn't have any crude reference at all. Similar to Outside Woman, a backdoor man is a man cheating with another mans wonan, who visits without the neighbors noticing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.128.33.248 (talk) 10:46, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

It seems to me like most of those references are just referring to anal sex and not the Led Zeppelin album.Whotookthatguy (talk) 07:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did Richard Feynman play on "Fool in the Rain"?

Artwork

What happened to all of the alternate-angle covers? It was nice to be able to see them all on the same page.

Incorrect genre listing

[edit]

One of the album's genres is listed as Blues rock, however, if you look at any one of the tracks' pages, you will clearly see not one of them has their genres listed as blues rock, and they aren't blues rock anyway. Boötes (talk) 01:54, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Robert Plant and his wife had gone through a serious car accident"

[edit]

Is this relevant given that the car accident was as long ago as 1975? Zin92 (talk) 19:19, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]


I deleted that entire paragraph because it was wrong - it applied to the Presence album, not In Through the Out Door.

Incorrect subtitle - Chicago

[edit]

When I view this in the iOS app, the brief subtitle says this is an Album by Chicago, which is obviously incorrect. But I can’t figure out how to edit that piece. Perhaps an admin needs to do that? Macleod199 (talk) 21:32, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Side one

[edit]

"Filled with emotion and precise musicianship, “Hot Dog” " - it's not, Page's intro on guitar has noticeable weak spot/consistency issue

"is regarded as the best track on the album and is considered by fans as the ultimate Led Zeppelin song." - Is there a citation for this? Has anyone ever thought this about this song? 

“Hot Dog” is also the only track in which singer Robert Plant says “Ahh hot dog!”, which is a very unique and highly sought after feature of the song. <-- does this need stating?  This is like stating that "Kashmir" is the only song where Plant says "Kashmir" - are such statements necessary?

When did this album actually get released in the US?

[edit]

The article states that the album was released on 8/15/1979 & subsequently was #1 the 2nd week of its release. However, the Billboard 200 shows it being #1 on the week of 9/15/1979. So, clearly there's a conflict. Did Billboard get it data late in those days before Soundscan? It's the only reason I could think there's such a discrepancy with the dates. I'd edit this myself, but I've gotten in trouble in the past correcting Zep pages for "copyright" reasons. JoeWiki1969 (talk) 19:25, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The statement in the article that "it went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in just its second week on the American chart" is unsourced. Do you have a source for this? Kiwipete (talk) 04:01, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Last studio album?

[edit]

There has been recent edit warring about whether this is the last (official) studio album, or not. Can you please argue it out here and reach consensus, rather than making continual edits and reverts to the article? Thanks. Masato.harada (talk) 08:47, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
