Charlie Flynn Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Sorry for posting yet another question but I know that Misty Mountain Hop was written by Page/Plant/Jones but we're having a debate as to who the main inspiration for the song came from. One of us thinks Plant the other thinks JPJ came up with the riff and slightly odd timing that the whole thing was based around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah J Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Not to me. I agree. This sounds nothing like it IMO....I had to pause my Unledded DVD to listen to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Led Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ok Look I don't care at all since I listen for the music and Zeppelin is the greatest band to grace the earth but still you how can you not hear the similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 First the TSRTS = Sparks imbroglio, now this. You're 0 for 2 Zeppelin Led, one more and you've struck out. Either get your ears checked or lay off the drugs. I will give you this, it does sound like dozens of other garage-rock tunes I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppelin Led Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Absolutely not! Come on dude I debate all the time on youtube defending zeppelin. I'm not saying what they done is bad I'm saying the riff WAS used before even if you can't accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazedcat Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Oh God only knows how original Zeppelin was with everything they ever wrote and played.......ever. No riff ever existed before Zeppelin played it. The bass line on this tune has a very vague resemblance to Misty Mountain Hop..........but it's not in rip off land. Listen to "Taurus" by the band Spirit then get back to me on that one.

swandown Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Listen to "Taurus" by the band Spirit then get back to me on that one. Listen to Davy Graham's "Cry Me A River" and you'll see where Spirit stole that riff from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Listen to Davy Graham's "Cry Me A River" and you'll see where Spirit stole that riff from. Interesting, I never heard of him before. One of the replies from the YouTube thread for this particular video: "yep. jimmy page would steal a riff from anyone. especially those he respected. if jimmy was 19 today his studio name would be Bit Torrent." You really think Spirit had heard of Davy Graham? Spirit never toured with him, I'm pretty sure of that. They toured with Zeppelin though. Like I said, interesting.

Graham is one of the great british fingerstyle players. Check out his song She moved thru the fair aka White Summer. Also Check the chocolate watchband ''and she's lonely'' I don't get why people get so uptight about the stairway thing I'm guessing its the just wanna piss off the fans I mean if you play 15 seonds of 2 songs is just a farce act .

Texas Melanie Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Oh come on! It does sound like it even if you can't accept it. It DOES sound like it! Amazing!! Oh no, wait....sorry. I am actually listening to "Misty Mountain Hop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Oh come on! It does sound like it even if you can't accept it. It doesn't to me either. It's fine you hear similarities but others don't. There isn't a right or wrong here. It's what each person hears. All good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
