'Hots On for Nowhere' is a song by [[England|English [[rock music|rock band [[Led Zeppelin released in 1976 on their album [[Presence.

Overview

The basic structure of this song can be traced to rehearsal sessions for Led Zeppelin's sixth album, [[Physical Graffiti, as well as the 1975-era live versions of the song '[[Dazed and Confused (Led Zeppelin song)|Dazed and Confused'.[1] One of the interludes (first heard at around 0:38) can also be heard in '[[Walter's Walk', as well as the snippets of the song included in certain extended live versions of 'Dazed and Confused'.

The lyrics were written by [[Robert Plant about his frustrations with his situation.[2] Page used a lake placid blue 1960 [[Fender Stratocaster for the recording of this song, as can be heard from his use of this guitar's tremolo arm.[3]

'Hots On for Nowhere' was used in the film [[Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001), one of the few times the band allowed a number from its catalogue to be used in a [[motion picture.

Live performances

This song was never performed live by the group at [[Led Zeppelin concerts.[4] However, Jimmy Page later performed it with [[the Black Crowes on their US tour in 2000.
