He beat the bastards and thieves in the industry and did it HIS way. That's awesome and sums it up perfectly, imho. Zep copped stuff from blues artists, just like every band that came out in the 80's was doing their best Zeppelin. Musicians have copied others long before Zeppelin. There is a guy out now name Hugo that does a cover of 99 Problems. Robert Plant should take that boy to task for stealing every aspect of his style. Then again, Percy gained a lot from the legendary Steve Marriott as well. Point is, nobody starts yelling about this stuff until they want to turn a buck. In this particular case, who's to say? Why didn't Relf take him to court when he could? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril46 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Agree totally, except Zep could come very close to aping a variety of blues styles, if they wanted to. The bands in the 80's on the other hand IMO never even got near sounding close to Zep, unless you're talking about fashion, which made those bands look comical. It is great how the normally shy Page, even before Zep, would actually inquire how the hell the Birds did a ? 1 month tour of the states , each member getting like ( sorry, don't exactly remember) 115 pounds or something, that's it. Then someone labeled Page a troublemaker. Giorgio Gomelsky ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
