One of Nobuo Uematsu's inspirations from Led Zeppelin

[lionslash232]

I read in a few articles that one of Nobuo Uematsu's inspirations was from listening to Led Zeppelin. I thought it was pretty plausible given the band's fantasy like writing in their music. But listening to the end of the song "Kashmir" really points it out. Check it out for yourself. Listen just before the 7:00 mark. Does it sound familiar? smile

I just want to point out that I don't view this as a "rip off" or anything of the sort. I just thought it was pretty cool!

I was gonna say shin-ra's theme, but I can kind of hear that too.

There's a lot of Yes influence also.
