How?

Yeah because Led Zeppelin are only guilty of having stolen this one thing. This Zepfanboy denial is ridiculous. You can google Led Zeppelin plagiarisms and you'll find countless examples of musical theft.

Led Zeppelin's first two albums weren't even written by them, I think. Anyways I don't even like Stairway that much., I am into the stuff on their second album the most. IV wasn't really that good of an album.

It's no big deal

Oasis ripped off T-Rex's Get It On for Cigarettes & Alcohol
The Jam ripped off The Supremes You Cant Hurry Love for Town Called Malice.

It happens all the time.
The only thing that bothers me about Led Zep's plagiarisms is all the old blues standards they called their own. Ripping off loads of blues artists who probably spent their entire careers not getting their due.

The two songs sound different enough. Obviously the Zeppelin guitarist has been influenced by this song, but there's a unique enough take on it for me to give Zeppelin credit for it.

How is it uniquer or any different? The songs themselves sure but the guitar parts could be the same song.

GravitySlips · 03-02-2008, 07:38 PM

because it SOUNDS different, Crowquill. What should I say? The frequencies of sound are not exactly the same, and they are sufficiently dissimilar for me to still give Jimmy Page credit for Stairway to Heaven. Maybe he used this song as some sorta template. I have no problem with that, because I enjoy Stairway to Heaven despite how massively overhyped it is.

I honestly don't hear this supposed difference.
