Barking Spiders Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I'm no fan of Led Zep but in their defence, the Blues is such a basic, formulaic and predictable genre of music, due to the very limited number chord progressions, inevitably all songs are gonna sound more than similar to many others anyway. There are just so many times you can wake up in the morning feeling a bit p1$$ed! 1 Quote

Bilbo Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Led Zep would sometimes steal the whole song, lyrics and all (see the Mick Wall biography). No shame. Quote

There are just so many times you can wake up in the morning feeling a bit p1$$ed! Expand I always thought that they were just following the grand blues tradition of taking a song, re-working it and passing off as their own. Exactly who did write 'Dust My Broom' ( to pick one example out of countless blues standards)?? BTW, I believe 'Dazed & Confused' was based on a Bob Dylan song, which itself may have been based on an earlier tune... Quote

RedVee Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Led Zeppelin were the biggest plagiarists in the history of Rock, especially from obscure Blues artists. Ultimately it gives a whole new meaning to "The Song Remains The Same". Edited January 13, 2019 by RedVee Quote

BassTractor Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) @oZZma & @Barking Spiders, have you guys ever thought about those people in the UK who are not half Italian, and what they are instead? There. In one sentence, I think I've removed quite a lot of your shame. You can buy me a beer later. 😁 Edited January 14, 2019 by BassTractor Quote

Rich Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 Bugatti the company were steadfastly Italian from 1909 to 1963 and again from 1987 to 1995. The current company bearing the name might be headquartered in France, but I think their history makes them rather more Italian than French, certainly spiritually. Quote
