  1. Jeff Beck on the lawsuit:

    Outside of his own busy schedule, Beck was also paying close attention to the Led Zeppelin "Stairway To Heaven" plagiarism case, partly as an interested musician, but just as much as a longtime friend and music mate of Jimmy Page. "I had to smirk because I knew that Jimmy and Robert would come out on top," Beck says. "Apparently you can't copyright a chord sequence. It has to have a lyric or some kind of a meaningful melody to be copyrighted. And it is a chord sequence which has been used loads of times, but not in such an iconic way. It clearly is the same chord sequence [as Spirit's 'Taurus'], but then we're all guilty of stealing a chord sequence and sticking some words on top of it. So I think it's a bit of bravado to try to bring it to court, but Jimmy came out ahead. So, lucky Old Jim!"

  2. The sad part is that the damage has been done. Every Zep-Hater has more ammo and even some people who like them are questioning their credibility now. You should see the comments on some sites. The whole thing is a bad joke.

  3. Just came home and I thought it was terrible. I'm so freaking pissed off right now.I waited two years and this is the best they could do. The first half hour or so was really good and it quickly went downhill. I'm a huge Godzilla fan and have been dying for a good American-made Zilla movie since I was a kid. They failed again (and the previews gave such promise), All I can say without spoiling anything is that the come attractions are the ultimate manipulation in editing. Hollywood completely sucks imo. They never get it right anymore. I give it a D.

    P.S. I can't explain why I hated it without spoiling it. If anyone cares why I feel this way, you can PM me.
