I could picture both Tool dissectional and Zep's estate definetely down playing a spat. Ive remember reading that Jimmy Page praised Jone's version of No quarter, but what if this is jst the public statement to prevent any rumours of a quarrel. Tool appeared dressed as Led Zeppelin to play the Monster Mash festival in Tempe, Arizona in 2015, as part of a halloween prank.īut what I am saying is this makes me think we dont really know the whole story.("Ganja please, you must have been out your mind.") In 2003 he said, "for me drugs were an integral part of the whole thing, right from the beginning, right to the end." It's notable that he also claimed, "I don't really remember much of what happened", a statement that might be used to defend Zeppelin's repeated plagiarism. Chester Burnett is now given songwriting credit for The Lemon Song. Zeppelin's The Lemon Song contains the lyrics, "Squeeze me baby, 'till the juice runs down my leg." In 1972, ARC music sued Led Zeppelin, claiming that they had plagiarised Chester Burnett (Howlin' Wolf) and a settlement was reached out of court.("Weeping shades of cozened indigo" - the color indigo is often associated with spiritualism and especially with the zodiac sign Taurus.) Though the suit was not filed until 2014, the original's songwriter Randy Wolfe noted in 1997 that Zeppelin opened for Spirit on their first US tour, writing "people always ask me why Stairway to Heaven sounds exactly like Taurus". Stairway to Heaven contains the lyrics, "And my spirit is crying for leaving." The intro for this song was the subject of a major lawsuit when the band Spirit claimed it was lifted from their 1971 instrumental Taurus.("Rob the grave", "Practically raised the dead.") Many of the songwriters plagiarised by Page were deceased.Jimmy Page was known for denigrating other bands for referencing his songs, despite Led Zeppelin themselves being involved in a string of lawsuits over copyright and plagiarism issues.
In 1985 Willie Dixon sued Led Zeppelin, claiming that Whole Lotta Love plagiarised his own You Need Love, which was released as a single by Muddy Waters in 1962.There's audio bleeding through at the beginning of the track (echoing the audio bleed on Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love).
