DAS Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I see the same thing in the CD booklet. I think that's fair. Holmes didn't write the song as it currently is but it was a reworking of one of his songs. I think written by Page, inspired by Holmes is the best way to word the credits.

GoodTimes Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 @ Melcórë Whenever Led Zeppelin is caught plagiarizing, even if other people have plagiarized from the same song(s) ? "Thieves of the highest order!" One word - jealousy! Doesn't need practicing to become 'force of habit' - it' natural born,evergrowing menace!

kaiser Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Plagiarism was involved... it's the issue obviously or Holmes wouldn't have a credit now. So Holmes waited 40 years before he took the legal action when originally he tried to settle the issue in the 70's by personally wishing to talk to the powers that be but was ignored. From the 80's on he took it to the court of public opinion & was still ignored by the powers that be. Holmes took it to court & the aftermath is that he has the credit he has publicly stated since the 80's that he wish he had received when he reached out to the Zeppelin camp in the 70's. Don't blame the victim for reaping the rewards of justice but those who purposely stood in justice's way. This was the overwhelming black eye in plagiarism allegations against Zeppelin which thankfully is now resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bloggs Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Holmes doesn't have an official credit though. I just checked with ASCAP and it's still credited to Jimmy Page only. It could be the CD credit was a one-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Like the Plantation at the 02 gig "Everyone nixs it" We'll never know the namless faceless backwater musicians that Robert Johnson nicked. But that's just the way it goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Sorry, as a classical music fan I cannot let this slander stand. Mozart came before Beethoven. Mozart died in 1791, whereas Beethoven's first works weren't published until around 1793. Mozart most certainly did not "plagiarize" from Beethoven. From Hayden? Maybe...but not Ludwig van. I've noticed a couple of mistakes (particularly "guy" for "gut") in my post above - I definitely meant the reverse, that Beethoven "quoted" from Mozart (although most such cases seem to have been quick references to the former's work, and not outright cops). I might have been drunk when I typed that up. *Shrug* The song remains the same, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the CD credit was a one-off. Those databases are never up-to-date. That's my line of work and I should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to wait until the remasters come out to be sure one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgemini Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Maybe Page actually wrote it when he was 3 or 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54Tangerine Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I just noticed on the 2014 re-issue of Dazed and Confused the song is credited By Page - Inspired by Jake Holmes. Is this the same as a writing credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
