Zeppelin took a lot of stuff from major players in old acoustic blues. Son House and Muddy Waters are good examples. I still respect Zeppelin though.

Yeah, like whole songs without giving any credit until they were sued. Led Zeppelin, as great as they were, were thieves.

Incredible! The intensity of Sonny Boy Williams II and then some. What a presence! I love the line about the four women. Enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck. The voice is close to breaking--authenticity is breath-taking.

Out of curiosity, who are the other two? I'm guessing Leadbelly and Robert Johnson. Of course I love Howlin' Wolf, too.

Even Isacc Newton was a thief.
He said, "If I have been able to see farther than others, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants." Its called inspiration and it comes from many things. What amazing things do you really think would come from a person born in an empty room, who lived in an empty room and died in an emp
ty room. We are all part of it.
Right. I know all ... ( 1 week ago by chainthatdoor)
Right. I know all about inspiration and influence. I was merely mentioning that Led Zeppelin did steal, because they played other peoples' songs and putting on the album that Page and Plant wrote them. I see nothing wrong with doing different arrangements of someone else's songs, but the credit should be given to the original artists. Like Bring it on Home, they took the credit until Willie Dixon sued them.

Most blues is borrowed from other sources. They used a line here and a phrase there. Even Robert Johnson's songs have bits of other people's songs.

´s better to steal and then shake it like a cocktail.if you have ability to do it, and then put your own signature on it,then everybody praise,borrow and return.

g4pei: Paint yourself to look like a black man, walk a few years in an impoverished black man's shoes while living in the Mississippi Delta in the 30s & 40s during the core of the racial issues in this country. Then, and only then, will you sing and play like that.

Son House was the real deal. None of the original blues musicians are left they've just about all died off.

It's probably a bad idea to paint yourself to look like a black man.
