raytuned Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Nobody they all tried but to this day Jimmy has stated that it amazes him that many other rock star legends have covered his songs and still have not played any zep songs correctly.(and we are talking big names). Although they sound good.. But in the context of your post Zep influenced and inspired many many rock bands that exist today. (To long for me to list them). And its still happening,and you can. Hear overtones ,but its not a flat out " lift the riff" type of thing.!.........." Led Zeppelin ,imitated,but never duplicated" !!! (Hee-hee,Ha-ha !! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrocker Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 One of the biggest offenders IMO, without "Achilles Last Stand" there would be no: ...and then, of course, giving a whole new meaning to "ripping off Led Zeppelin" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That song is extremely dated, though i can still get through it simply because it is Plant and his voice has and always will be fantastic. But bah gawd! What's with the coordinated hand gestures?!??! And that awful "i'm your tall cool one and i'm build to please" guy! Nevermind that cluster**** sound clip ending. Bleh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoz Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hey raytuned, I can hear plenty of ripped off riffs so far, we've had an exact and blatant replica of Custard Pie just with different lyrics too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe i saw someone mention that in a comment for the video of Tall Cool One, but i haven't seen the actual commercial. Something tells me it's nightmare inducing. Anything Zeppelin-related combined with a non-Zeppelin mass marketing campaign, does not sit right in my imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagesbow Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way" = rip of :Song Remains the Same" I'm not hearing that connection myself. However, this definitely has a "Celebration Day" vibe Your go-to site for these types of things has to be http://www.whosampled.com/Led-Zeppelin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) As far as I am concerned, almost every band that followed in Led Zeppelin's wake from, say, 1970+ and onward took something from Led Zeppelin and tried to make it their own. A lot of these bands have already been mentioned. Some so blatant and obvious and some not so blatant and obvious from some of the most popular and well respected groups that most of us already know and love. Here is one to begin with: The James Gang - "the Bomber". A great song to begin with, with Mr. Joe Walsh on guitar.

BUK Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I call it inspired by..... not ripped off. Forwarding the brand. It's not ripped off if you take basic elements and re-combine to create a unique whole. Friends All is Fair - the solo at 2:24 is inspired by page's solo on Fool in the Rain The ending of this is MASSIVE Zep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty ridiculous and somewhat embarrassing seeing this now and how dated it looks! I'm sure Robert regrets it with the exception of the paycheck involved with it!

Walter Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Plant's "Tall Cool one" interestingly enough wasn't written by him as most know. The Zeppelin sampling was in response to this song: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasbo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This one needs no introduction.... How about the whole bloody album.! Lenny Wolf,lead singer for Kingdom Come,replied when fronted about ripping off LZ'I just sing Like Robert Plant,that's my style',or words to that effect.That album caused an uproar and dear old Cozy Powell RIP was threatening to deck Lenny Wolfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasbo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Rush'What Your Doing 'from their first album.Well known in Rush circles is when a certain Cleveland radio station played Working Man from the same lp the station it was flooded with calls asking if this was some new Zep.The first lp is a bit of a rip off but then they got that drummer in who read too many books and dreamt up things like By Tors and Snow Dogs they moved in to proggy areas.

Justfred Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 When an artist "Ripped-Off' from Led Zeppelin they took a piece of music from Led Zeppelin's hugely popular song catalogue that Zep made popular. When Led Zeppelin took a piece of music , it was from songs that where known by only a few,and not very good either . Led Zeppelin turned these obscure songs into gems with their own arrangements. Nobody ever listened to "Taurus" back in the day and said , "Wow' this is great. That Never Happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrocker Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 When Led Zeppelin took a piece of music , it was from songs that where known by only a few,and not very good either . Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf and Blind Willie Johnson would like to have a word with you in the afterlife... Nobody ever listened to "Taurus" back in the day and said , "Wow' this is great. That Never Happened. Yet there are legions of Randy California/Spirit fans who would disagree, but mainly resent the fact that Zeppelin made more money by recycling Randy's riff in "Stairway To Heaven" than Spirit ever did...
