Led Zeppelin - Ramble On (Gube Remix) 2020

[highplainsdem]

3. Remixes of a famous recording will almost always sound inferior to the original to fans of the original,

and that's perfectly normal.

And versions of rock music that weaken/soften it ARE often described as elevator music or Muzak, and always have been.

"Ramble On" is not only arguably Led Zeppelin's best song, but arguably the best rock song ever. Here's one of the threads I've posted about it, with Rick Beato's two videos about it:

This remix you posted IMO interferes with everything that makes the song great.

FWIW, I consider remixes in general (with very very few exceptions) an inferior form of music, showing either fear of individual creativity - trying to hitch a ride on another artist's fame - or ego in the sense of believing the original can be improved upon. I always want to tell remixers to make their own music, using their own talent. Maybe do a cover of the song. But don't just remix it.
