LED ZEPPELIN

The song is also derivative of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" and an out of court settlement was reached and Chester Burnett (Howlin' Wolf) was added to the song credits.

Derivative?? How about EXACTLY THE SAME FUCKING SONG.

Please provide your source... if it is wikipedia, please stop being so easily misled. Listen to the two songs back to back. It's immediately apparent that Led Zeppelin is a bunch of plagiarizing hacks and should be tossed off the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge post haste.

If I remember correctly (and this is dredging up a seriously old memory), the Lemon Song was titled Killing Floor when the album was first released and changed on subsequent printings (although, "the song remained the same").

Well, if they had done that, and credited Wolf as the writer, it wouldn't have been a problem.

But they never credited him as the author of the song until legal action forced them to.

As I recall reading, they thought all of those great blues records they were getting were from artists long dead in America. Little did they know that the greatest blues artist of all time, Howlin' Wolf, was still alive and well, and interested in drawing an income off of his hard work.

At any rate. They are actually a half-decent band. But I still thoroughly hate them, if for nothing else than their unbelievable prick attitudes and an off the charts level of arrogant solipsism.

[...] from artists long dead in America. Little did they know that the greatest blues artist of all time, Howlin' Wolf, was still alive and well [...]

This thought might hold water... if Page, Beck, Clapton and other blues influenced rock guitarists
hadn't actually seen Howlin' Wolf perform and played with some of 'em.

Chester sez... "If you got no money... you got the blues."

The ghost of a dead blues legend takes the stage with the Rolling Stones in 1964 ...

and two for Dave... Killing Floor and The Lemon Song.

[LED ZEPPELINER]

Listening to Trampled underfoot and Night Flight some of the best

[Megadeth666]

Wonder WHO The Who stole this tune from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqRytQospMA
So cool to watch Keith Moon jam....

[oVo]

That is The WHO in their prime.
Nowadays... it's the old man who's got all the money...
of course they fuckedup and credited Mose J. Alison on LIVE AT LEEDS... must be some kind a mistake?

I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote.

[porkenbeans]

You guys ever hear their version of squeeze box ?

[Megadeth666]

Keith Moon and Jimmy page were buddies long time ago...and when Jimmy wanted to start a band...Keith said your band is "Going to fail like a Lead Balloon"...and than Led Zepplin was created

The YARDBIRDS were a great band!
Eric Clapton joins the group in late 1963 and Jeff Beck replaces him two days after he leaves in 1965.

Jimmy Page joined the Yardbirds as the replacement bass player (probably wanted to become Willie Dixon, eh Dave?) and later become a tandem lead guitar with Jeff Beck. Beck leaves the band in late 1966 and the Yardbirds touring winds down to a final show in the summer of 1968, but with a few concert commitments remaining in Scandinavia. So with the band essentially broken up Page was given permission to put a group together to play those final gigs as The New Yardbirds and featured Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones... which eventually became Led Zeppelin.

It was rumored that Jimmy Page wanted to form a super group with Jeff Beck... plus John Entwistle and Keith Moon... but that never materialized. Beck's first album after the Yardbirds is released in 1967... called TRUTH... which featured Ron Wood and Rod Stewart (prior to Faces) with drummers Aynsley Dunbar and Keith Moon, plus Nicky Hopkins, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.

someone's been studying up, omg reading Led Zepp biographys and stuff, really fun, Eveybody watcht the movei, it will blow your mind, like 7 minutes of Jimmy just doodleing

[LED ZEPPELINER]

BEST THREAD EVER!!!!!!!!!

[oVo]

Not much to study really because I'm an older fart from the same era as porkenbeans and pretty much grew up listening to this music. I was in junior high school when I first heard a Yardbirds album and it totally blew my mind and over the years I've seen most of these groups perform at least once.

The KINKS is another favorite...
who I still listen to as Ray Davies continues to produce great songs.

[LED ZEPPELINER]

CREAM, Modest mouse, thin Lizzy

[porkenbeans]

You said it brother. Same here. I grew up along with the birth of this music as well. I had 68 ticket stubs before I was 18.

I missed David Bowie (I was on holiday), Jimi Hendrix who apparently played about 10 miles away.
When "Wings" first formed, they tried out their first act by appearing unannounced in small venues. They played in my local on a night I wasn't there.

[Megadeth666]

Not really a Rod Stewart fan, but Jeff Beck did some good shit with him (including this) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8c0uzSbcrg

Ahhh yes... those were the days and the beginnings of big changes in music.

You must be as old as a fossil, you linked me to the year I was born, how bout this or that

[LED ZEPPELINER]

60's, 70's, 80's 50's best years for music

[Megadeth666]

here's one for Zep....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjXN3OLgoqs
Stanley has lot more good shit too

[AAFitz]

60's, 70's, 80's 50's best years for music

not to mention comical music...
(especially the 70's and 80's)

personally... I think the 90's threw some new stuff in there that warrants mention. Difficult to compare much in the 80's to nirvana, or pearl Jam... even the most ambitious 80's band never really hit that level of creativity and originality.
