Obviously they still get in the way if you're just some poor guitarist trying to pick out Bert's patterns!
I wasn't talking about how the excessive drum fills make it hard to learn the guitar part.

More specifically, if that's Terry Cox on "A Woman Like You," all I can say is he may have contributed some fine performances in his time -- but that isn't one of them. I'll take your word about him being good for Pentagle; alas I've always preferred Jansch or Renbourn solo to their Pentangle stuff. So I haven't listened to it enough.

Conversely, finding any part that wasn't rock solid by John Bonham including his additions to the more "down home" Zep material is a tall order.
