Kashmir / Come With Me
What a cruel sample version by Puff Daddy! The great Led Zeppelin song "Kashmir" is totally foozeled by this strange rap version. The groaning and the "Yeah, Yeah" arias of Puff Daddy (or Puff Diddy, however he is named) worsen everything.
Why Jimmy Page, who has played the guitar in the cover version, too, played this song together with Puff Daddy, will always be a mystery for me.

Comments about Kashmir / Come With Me:
Idiots listen to Diddy crap

Not since the David Bowie/Bing Crosby "Little Drummer Boy" duet has there been a more bizarre musical collaboration. Page, the iconic Dark Lord of lead guitar ,with Diddy, the master of the remix( an appellation he actually proclaims with pride.) Huh? What the hell? Why? Sometimes when you look into the abyss it never gives you an answer, just an empty echo. Puffy's "Come With Me" over the pagan majesty of Zeppelin's "Kashmir", rings very hollow indeed.

Bonzo's rolling in his grave. Zak wylde quote to his nephew who said he liked the new puff daddy song-- "Hey asshole, that's Led Zeppelin!" I couldn't have said it better myself.

I'll still take The Ordinaires cover of "Kashmir" (which is an instrumental) over the version with the sock-panted castrati.

"If the cover was just an instrumental, it would rock."
Agreed, totally.

No cover can be better than the original in this case, simply perfect from Lez Zep!!!

Oh, and let's not forget the irreplaceable John Bonham.

Personally, I prefer Robert Plant's performance much more than Puff Daddy's. I mean, he actually sang. See, the beauty of Kashmir is that the middle eastern feel that the instrumental part creates blends perfectly with the lyrics, which is, obviously, about the middle east. Replacing those lyrics with things like "Pistol packing" and "uuh" is a crime against music. If you disagree, then I'm sorry you can't appreciate the song for more than just the beat.
