[edit] Dazed and Confused

Paranoid seems to have a little brother or sister, Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused. LIllIi 23:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Interesting that you should mention that. I listen to 60's and 70's music a lot, and I never made the connection. In fact I still can't.
  • I totally agree, if you listen to Dazed and Confused at 1:55 and 5:00 (the Led Zeppelin version at least, not too familiar with the other versions) it sounds a lot like Paranoid. 86.83.254.201 (talk) 13:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Megadeth Ref.

added a megadeth ref. to the article, concerning their cover version of Paranoid, which is pretty well known and they still preform it live from time to time. LyTe 05:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Is anyone sure Pantera covered Paranoid? I have heard the supposed song but it sounds like Megadeath.

Yeah it's not Pantera - it's Megadeth. MusicBrainz and Winamp can analyze the file and tell u its megadeth, not pantera. its still cool tho —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.103.160 (talk) 09:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Riff swiped from Led Zeppelin?

This song seems to be identical to a riff from LZ's "Communication Breakdown". I'm looking for an online source, but it's very obvious if you listen to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.117.53 (talk) 04:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More song details please

I came to this page hoping that some kind soul would have included some 'technical' description of the way the guitar parts were played. There is a quite distinctive 'tone' presumably through some kind of fuzz/distortion pedal (?). The song is very well produced IMHO but maybe is 'compressed' to make it more radio friendly.


Some might say it predates punk too with its concise driven format. The lyrics sound bluesy tho... 'finished with my woman' etc. Or it could be C&W?!


Maybe it could also be placed in context. I was an impressionable teenager back then I loved to see bands like BS, DP et al getting in the pop charts. Likely though you had Paranoid denied top spot by dire fodder like 'Grandad' etc.


Are there any versions floating around as bootlegs etc with different lyrics maybe?


BS must have got paranoid about playing this - can't imagine the audience letting them get away without playing it! To this day Ozzie still does it - I recall a clip on YT of the re-united band (?) playing it on the Letterman Show (?) or some such. Argh, conformity at last.


I presume BS did this on TOTP? Must check YT. Royzee (talk) 07:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
