DragonTelecaster Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I was always led to believe that LZ was very protective of their music and how it's "exploited", especially when it comes to Hollywood movies. You recall the scene in Wayne's World where they weren't allowed to play or even resemble anything near to SWTH. In School of Rock, Jack Black pleaded to LZ to allow them to use Immigrant Song in the movie. LZ obliged. Great scene! However, I was watching an episode of One Tree Hill recently, and they finished the episode with a COMPLETE rendition of "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You". I was shocked to hear this! Did LZ approve this? I'm sure they did, but you get my point. DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Page Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 My wife is a big fan of the show and i saw it too. She was already a fan of LZ but she thought it was pretty cool that a kick ass band would allow a song to be in one of her fav tv shows.

GeorgeC Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I haven't seen the show but I know the licensing of the song may be affected by its having an extra composer's credit (Anne Bredon). I recall a Hendrix biopic where the producers obviously couldn't get permission to use any original Hendrix tunes, so they could only show him playing "Like a Rolling Stone," "Wild Thing," "All Along the Watchtower," and "The Star-Spangled Banner," all of which, of couse, were written by other people. I don't know a lot about publishing issues, but that would be my guess in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is find out what publishing company has the right's and pay them a synchronization fee, they will want some details of how it will appear. Of coarse you must get permission from the original writer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlg Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Led Zeppelin have always been my favorite band. I was in fact shocked how much I really liked the One Tree Hill show. And then During the most intense episode ever I find this amazingly heart-wrenching Montage done to one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs in full in fact. I knew the shows writer was also a huge Led Zeppelin fan. very evident in his episode namings. After many had pleaded to be able to use material in a TV show and failed his presentation had won them over and OMG it was done perfectly. Chills and tears every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
