TashaZoso16 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Some people need to look over how they spell Led Zeppelin. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen “Lead Zepplin” in the other realms of the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Some people need to look over how they spell Led Zeppelin. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen “Lead Zepplin” in the other realms of the internet. I've noticed the same thing with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Yes, it's a bit more difficult to spell than Led Zeppelin but if you're a fan it seems like you would make the extra effort to spell it correctly. I've also seen Jimmy Buffett fans get all up in arms if someone misspells it as "Buffet" (which happens just as frequently, it not more so than misspellings of Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd).

the chase Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I don't see "Lead Zeppelin" much... in fact, haven't in years I still see "Led Zepplin" once in a while.... less now then in the 70's.. I also remember people (in the 70's) saying "Led Zeppelin? He's wicked good!!" I've also heard that with Jethro Tull, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd... At least they were in good company.

DAS Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 As the story goes Lead Zeppelin would have been the name but they changed it to Led Zeppelin so no one would pronounce it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janvier Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 seems to me like a variation of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 As the story goes Lead Zeppelin would have been the name but they changed it to Led Zeppelin so no one would pronounce it wrong. Peter Grant suggested the spelling change from Lead Zeppelin to Led Zeppelin and Jimmy agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
april_lynn Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It's good when people say "Led Zepplin" on ebay. Good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Historian Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The two that I hear (besides seeing Led Zepplin a bunch) is "Led Zeppelin-which one is he in the group"?........and Fred Zeppelin (yes, I have heard a few say that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagesbow Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 You see "Led Zepplin" on YouTube all the time, in the comments section. I'm quite anal about spelling so it does bother me. I did see a comment the other day where someone spelt it as "Led Zeppeling" I was quite impressed as I don't think i've ever seen that variation before. The best one is: Jimmy "Paige" because they've made the effort to add a vowel... I don't think it's a conspiracy against Zep though.... Pete Townshend is more often than not referred to as "Townsend" Ann Wilson of Heart as "Anne" and so on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Historian Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The best one is: Jimmy "Paige" because they've made the effort to add a vowel... I've also seen Jimi Page, if you wanna go there with individual members....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagesbow Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I've also seen Jimi Page, if you wanna go there with individual members....... Yeah, totally....I went there but yes, you're indeed correct, one encounters that quite often. Also: "Jimmy Hendrix is this best guitarist of all-time!" But you can't even spell his name correctly.....ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the incorrect spellings I see are on youtube, but that doesn't limit them to only that site. Im sure this thread will turn into a gallery of mispellings from various pages elsewhere.....

Ady Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Led "Zepplin" is one of three spelling errors in rock music that annoys me the most. The other two are Ian "Gillian" and "Toni" Iommi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 A few days ago I was in school talking to a friend, I think I was asking him if he ever heard of LZ. He said, "Who's he"? It's not like I've heard that one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDog71 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 People tend to spell Bonham wrong a lot too. I have seen "Bonam" from time to time. I just shake my head and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe (Liverpool) Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 When I saw them at Earls Court some guy was trying to sell me a scarf when I pointed out that it was spelt incorrectly he told me to fuck off, but it did put off a load of people around him from buying one he was extremely pissed off and threatened me. I just walked away laughing very loudly........with a sense of well being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
