Lol. Here we go! I love a good zepfight!

They can crank out several albums by covering the Disney Songbook. I'd love to hear Zeppity Do-Da.

The replacement drummer is a hack. Why not go with someone who actually ROCKS?

Submitter's favorite band sucks.

I'm glad they ain't touring. I respect Zep because they called it quits while they were still somewhat ahead unlike *ah-Metallica-em* some bands that *cou-Kiss-gh* just never give up way past their prime.

As to the Willie Dixon comment:

I prefer their folksy stuff anyway.

+1 subby!

Led Zeppelin: Always a mostly-decent cover band.

wow, great snap. try again.

moar funny pictures

We do not put pee-pee in Coke sir.

I am looking forward to an intelligent, well developed conversation.

I'm going to see the all girl tribute band, Lez Zeppelin.

/srsly, they're pretty good.

zeppelin steals from blues retards failure in 3...2...'

Wow! I didn't know Willie Dixon wrote Kashmir and The Immigrant Song. He was pretty damn far ahead of his time, wasn't he?

Just to stoke the inevitable flames how many songs did led zeppelin ultimately admit to copying from mr dixon? How many more songs and albums have they recorded?

/I am also from the land of the ice and snow
//I just have a more manly battle cry

Subby, you don't give a shiat about Willie Dixon and you have probably never listened to his music, or even own his LPs.

You are just like a nasty farking treason supporting GOPer whining about Ted Kennedy and chappaquiddick, meanwhile you are only 28 years old.
Farking retard.

JerkyMeat: You are just like a nasty farking treason supporting GOPer whining about Ted Kennedy and chappaquiddick, meanwhile you are only 28 years old.
Farking retard.

huh?

JerkyMeat: Subby, you don't give a shiat about Willie Dixon and you have probably never listened to his music, or even own his LPs.

Nice try, but I have many Willie Dixon records, and many original Chess 45s which I do not play anymore. I also am currently studying his style on my upright. So, fail.

JerkyMeat: You are just like a nasty farking treason supporting GOPer whining about Ted Kennedy and chappaquiddick, meanwhile you are only 28 years old.

I'm a liberal, ambivalent about the Kennedys, and I am turning 45 on Sunday.

So fail again.

JerkyMeat: Farking retard.

OK, you may have me there.

The headline was meant as a joke, and the wrongness of their deeds need not be quantified into degrees.

Ant: Wow! I didn't know Willie Dixon wrote Kashmir I Can't Quit You Baby and The Immigrant Lemon Song. He was pretty damn far ahead of his time, wasn't he?


FTFY

Also from a torrent:

good at stealing quality songs and ideas? Being a studio musician for several years before he formed Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page had a talented knack for taking what was not his without giving proper credit. Some of these songs (Including Killing Floor and How Many More Years) actually resulted in lawsuits that ruled AGAINST Led Zeppelin. Most of these songs have not been available in one place until now. So, here they are, the best of the best. When you finish listening to this, you will never take Led Zeppelin's word for it again.

Please note I am aware LZ did not claim authorship on all these tunes. Just a bunch of them.

Whore rotta rove!

dead horse, here's another beating.

Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.

The entire genre of music called 'rock and roll' was stolen. A lot of blues songs don't have authors, people take a basic song and add to it, which is what LZ did.

I mean really, if we were keeping track, Lead Belly wrote everything, we should just credit him on every song.

The Dynamite Monkey: Please note I am aware LZ did not claim authorship on all these tunes. Just a bunch of them.

Why dont you pull the rod out of your ass and enjoy average songs made better with loud guitar, a great lead singer, and the best rock n roll drummer of all time?

vernonFL: I mean really, if we were keeping track, Lead Belly wrote everything, we should just credit him on every song.

no he didn't, Robert Johnson did :-p

steamingpile: Why dont you pull the rod out of your ass and enjoy average songs made better with loud guitar, a great lead singer, and the best rock n roll drummer of all time?

Meg White was in Led Zeppelin?

/ducks

Zeppelin only wishes they had the fresh originality of a band like Kingdom Come (new window).

i credit Led Zeppelin for making me research the blues, and find out for myself who Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson, and others were.

Anyway, to say Killing Floor is the same as The Lemon Song, or that Robert Johnson's Traveling Riverside Blues is the same song as Zep's version, you'd just be simply wrong. Sure, they share a lyric or 2, though i guarantee those same lyrics existed in slave songs before the 'original' recordist layed down the track.

Is Willie Dixon more entitled to these lyrics since he's black? I don't think so.

steamingpile:

Keith Moon was in The Who, not Led Zep...

/just sayin'

steamingpile: Why dont you pull the rod out of your ass and enjoy average songs made better with loud guitar, a great lead singer, and the best rock n roll drummer of all time?

First: I do enjoy them. Very much. And not just the best drummer, but the best rhythm section in rock history I believe.

Second: "Average" songs? Chicago blues gave us rock and roll, son, and you sound like a dipshiat there. Nothin' "average" about them.

Third: That rod up my ass is there for a reason. You leave my ass, and the things up it, alone, thank you very much.

T.rex: Anyway, to say Killing Floor is the same as The Lemon Song, or that Robert Johnson's Traveling Riverside Blues is the same song as Zep's version, you'd just be simply wrong.

You would be wrong, were it not for the fact that you would be right.

T.rex: Sure, they share a lyric or 2, though i guarantee those same lyrics existed in slave songs before the 'original' recordist layed down the track.

You guarantee? How, exactly? And why does that matter, legally speaking?

T.rex: Is Willie Dixon more entitled to these lyrics since he's black? I don't think so.

WTF does any of this have to do with his blackness?

Willie Dixon owns the copyright to those songs because he registered the copyright to those songs and was listed with ASCAP and BMI as the author of them. That's why he is more entitled to those lyrics and melody. No other reason.

vernonFL: The entire genre of music called 'rock and roll' was stolen. A lot of blues songs don't have authors, people take a basic song and add to it, which is what LZ did.

No, it really isn't (new window not rr).

deadsanta: Keith Moon was in The Who, not Led Zep...

Moon was severely over rated and meg white sucked in comparison

Blues was plundered before led zep ever came on the scene and mississippi blues actually gave us rock n roll at least in my opinion, led zep just used it for its modern counter part. Im just sick of all that shiat about them stealing when in reality it was their ass of a manager who didnt want to pay any royalties who thought that since they were in england they were immune to copyright law. He was the don king of the rock business and everyone hated him.

His name was Peter Grant, and yes he was a piece of shiat thief (like a lot of rock managers). Yes he had a lot to do with the bad decisions LZ made regarding copyright.

Take a few minutes and watch the video linked my post above, and then come back and revisit this quote.

I remember his name I just hate his ass, he bullied everyone into giving in to his demands, he was the inspiration for suge knight. Its good hes dead.

I did and I still believe that elvis and sun records stole more blues and brought it to the masses than led zeppelin or the yardbirds. Its a shame there arent any good black music now for people to steal from, music sucks today.

The Dynamite Monkey: Lol. Here we go! I love a good zepfight!

Preach, brother. When I found out how much of their material they plundered, I was disillusioned in a big way. I have loved the hell out of them for over three decades, but the truth is the truth.

i will ask again, how much of the catalog is plundered and how much more of it is original. i want you to honestly answer that question, and write a list for each. then once you have those list completed you can go die in a fire. ignorant mouth breathing farktard

*plonk*

Page says Led Zep is not recording. "We'd like to, but Willie Dixon John Bonham has been dead for years, so we don't know what to play aren't Led Zeppelin anymore"

FTFB

If you look above, I posted both a list and a link to a video with more information.

Now, who exactly is a farktard?

Incredible...simply incredible. This is the same rabid bunch that screams bloody murder if a power chord in one song was used previously in another...and god forbid roughly the same progression gets used...I've read zillions of threads here about this guy rippping off that guy and shiat...but the mighty Zep, who unabashedly steal ENTIRE farkING SONGS from people and suddenly it's 'oh they're just borrowing it, lighten up man!'

farking hypocrites.

So I take it we all agree The Beatles are the greatest band ever then? Since they played original material

dstanley: Submitter's favorite band sucks.

Have I just taunted...?

I'll grant you that Dixon owns them legally, though Page OWNS them, artistically. I'm more impressed with Page.

T.rex: I'll grant you that Dixon owns them legally, though Page OWNS them, artistically. I'm more impressed with Page.

so you condone theft of intellectual property?

Didn't Page actually blame Plant for 'not changing the lyrics enough'?

stealing blues lyrics is the least of the Zucchini Brothers'problems.
If you've seen The Song Remains The Same, you know what I mean,,,

T.rex: I'll grant you that Dixon owns them legally, though Page OWNS them, artistically. I'm more impressed with Page.

You are? Well, it's settled then.
