In the parley of musicians, “listened to” means studied and learned from. It is very easy to believe they never listened to Zep. What is difficult to believe is someone “stealing” a style just by...

What’s this guy talking about? They make fun of themselves all the time. Besides, if I was in a band and I was thanking people like that I wouldn’t say “I owe everything I’ve done to Led Zeppelin! They...

TBK’s Lonely Boy is a blatant rip off of Under Pressure from ZZ Top. Little Black Submarines is a rip off of Stairway To Heaven and Blind Faith’s Can’t Find My Way Home. These guys are takers.. not...

I bet the Black Keys would be willing to open for Percy and crew if they tour in 2014. Danny boy could have made it better with one word. ‘Anymore’ As in, ‘I never listen to Zeppelin anymore’ and I...
