David Bowie and Mick Jagger's relationship was considered more than just friends because Bowie's ex wife saw both of them in bed and claimed they were more than friends than Bowie's ex wife confirmed they were just friends
What most people don't understand is that prior to 1972 only the lyrics to songs could by copyrighted. Artists routinely lifted musical arrangements from other works as it was considered normal. Different times, different rules, different norms.
also, music was once entertainment and stories passed down in a family, it wasn't always a mass marketing industry, some old songs still exist because people copied and shared
I was introduced to Led Zeppelin by my dad. He had seen the band several times in the 70s and I was a kid in the 80s and teen in the 90s. He’s not in the health he once was but we can still enjoy together and I will enjoy as long as I can
When The Levee Breaks is my favorite too. Immigrant Song ranks as 4th with me behind Nobody's Fault But Mine and Over The Hills. Until today, I thought Heartbreaker was 5th but, I love the hell out of Traveling Riverside Blues (in particular), Ramble On and Whole Lotta Love. I'll have to think on that :)

Well you're slightly mixed up on your facts. Page never said they didn't use any effects and he wasn't perpetuating rumors. He only showed where they'd recorded the drum track. They did in fact record it there and Andy Johns didn't deny that. The rumor that it was strictly the echo of the stairway came from some fans interpretation from that interview. It was in fact recorded in that stairway, but the Binson echo unit was used to get the effect. See Rick Beato's channel for a clear explanation of this, in case I've confused you. Thanks!
I would guess that bonafide Satan worshippers are rare, especially among rockers. Rockers who have had lyrical references to Satan and adorned their bodies and merchandise with and used as stage props satanic symbols have been largely pseudo-Satanists, people who don't actually pray to Satan or engage in satanic rituals but use Satan as a marketing tool. Many of these same people would probably soil themselves if they had an actual demonic encounter.

At 07:00, they're wrong about When The Levee Breaks. The drums were recorded in the foyer of the Headly Grange house. The reverb is natural the echo is electronic. It's a combination of both.
Quote from Emile Zola "We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content."
I'm only 17 years old right now and I love Led Zeppelin some of my fav songs are Babe I'm gonna leave you,All of My Love,Rock n Roll,Stairway to Heaven
The Yardbirds with Beck, Page, et al were in the 60s Antonioni flick ‘Blow-Up’ starring David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave. Rocking in Underground London.
Nope that's true. I'm not gonna diss them but I can't stand them. Sloppy guitar playing, old sound, whiney voice etc... I don't mind immigrant song but any other gets a skip
"There are none so blind as those who WILL not see." There are also various psychological reasons why people hear something clearly, yet still deny it. It's funny that Page & Plant both stated that Stairway suddenly came to them, as if from another source. It's also funny that no other band has multiple entire paragraphs in a song that make sense in both FWD & Reverse. I enjoy listening to Zep on occasion, but I do so knowing & rejecting the spirit behind them. Yeah, Crowley was a black magician & conjured demons, as well as being reputed to have branded some of his followers with 666 (reflected in the backwards "toolshed" lines) & to have sacrificed children....but of course he wasn't a satanist! Talk about splitting hairs. Once again, "there are none so blind..."
Lesley Wynter Lucifer and Satan are the same. Lucifer was his name prior to him being cast down from heaven. Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into l the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
When you see the tribute to Led Zeppelin played by Heart ( with the Obamas as guests of honour) all the band members were crying at the honour.. This was a very human moment- not satanic. It brought their truly human and loving nature back to me.
The entity residing in Plant, Page and Bonham while performing with Led Zeppelin… is ageless. They were merely vessels. No 20 year old has the capacity for this depth. Seriously. People who still believe there are no dark deals made with other worlds by these rockers….are so two dimensional. They flat out tell you what they did to achieve infamy. All of them do. Bob Dylan says he did it in an interview. They ALL sing about it. Led Zeppelin put sigils all over their albums. They believe in it…yet the people who listen to them, don’t. How odd. Almost like you’re all enchanted by the magick…can’t see what no one is even hiding from you. You pay a price for this sort of fame. The three who participated in the incantation have paid dearly. I’m sure Plant would give it all up to have his son back. Bonham, his life. And Page…well…he didn’t love much…so he lost the one thing that mattered to him…his band and his talent. He hasn’t had one success since the band split. Always trying to relive these days…never succeeding. Every rocker worth a damn has the SAME. STORY.
Searching thru the comments - finally, a person with wisdom, who is not blinded! Yes, everyone conveniently ignoring the Dylan interview with Ed Bradley & so many other clear indicators..."there are none so blind as those who will not see."
@@FretsOnFire Right? None of these people who worship these musicians find it weird that the musicians themselves openly believe in and practice this stuff. But they find it silly if anyone else brings it their attention. I’m not the one using sigils and obsessed with aleister crowley, going so far as to purchase his home and live in it or fly my partner around the world to purchase items he used to own. But OK! It’s ME who is silly conspiracy theorist …🙄👍 Not the guy who point blank said he sold his soul to “the big chief”.
@@MiddlePath33 Exactly mary, you are right on the money! If anyone is tempted to talk crap please read what Mary just wrote first! Many many musicians have openly talked about the deal they made, look up Ed Bradley interview with Bob Dylan and you will see exactly what Bob is talking about, making a deal to become famous. And I am sure that many politicians and movie stars and other entertainers (which definitely includes politicians! 🤢🤮) Have made that same deal. One thing I can promise all of them, they will all regret it eventually. Regret is not even an adequate word for the agony and torment that they will experience for all eternity unless they repent sincerely and with their entire heart and throw themselves on God's mercy.
@@dianafab4096 NO! LED ZEPPELiN iNFLUENCED OTHER BANDS TO BECOME METAL...LED ZEPPELiN STARTED iT ALL AS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE HEAVY METAL !!! LED ZEPPELiN...THE #HEAViEST HARD ROCK METAL BANDS iN THE WORLD iS LED ZEPPELiN !!!
I thought it was Jon Entwistle, not Keith Moon who said "you guys will go down like a lead zeppelin" and that's where the name came from. You were correct about why they spelt it Led as they thought Americans would call them Leed Zeppelin.
I Never Saw Led Zeppelin in Concert, but I Didn't see Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page in Concert in Concord California, Most Of The songs they Played were Led Zeppelin Songs. That Very Concert is on TH-cam it was 1998
There were somethings else. I can't remember where I read it but it was stated that Jimmy Page made Robert and Bonzo take part in some unknown ceremony to ensure the success of the band. John Paul Jones declined to take part though. It may all come out (or not) in Jimmy's autobiography which he says will be published after he dies. David Bowie is alleged to have asked Jimmy Page to leave his house 'by the door or the window'. Bowie was interested in Jimmy's interest in the occult and was asking him questions but he got no answers from Jimmy, only a strange rictus smile. That's when he got spooked and asked Jimmy to leave. It was alleged that he then had his house exorcised. There was also an instance of someone meeting Robert after Bonzo's death and Robert is alleged to have told him he should keep away from Jimmy as he was evil. They seem to be friends now though. It's easy to look for things or people to blame when tragic things happen. Jimmy wasn't a Satan worshipper though. It's a bit of a myth that Aleister Crowley was, though he was certainly weird and deeply interested in the occult. Jimmy once bought Crowley's house but didn't live there much. He rented it out an eventually sold it. Jimmy declines to talk about personal matters.
@@FretsOnFire Only if he worshipped Satan. Some people just do things to satisfy their curiosity. However I don't much care either way. I have no interest in Aleister Crowley.
@@FretsOnFire I wasn't so much commenting on Crowley. My comment was more about Jimmy Page and and Robert Plant and especially, the significance of Jimmy's interest in the occult and in Crowley.
Accusing recording artists to hide messages backwards in their song was easy to do because you had to do a lot of awkward work to reverse the playing direction ofaudio eqiupment. But there are several turntables around today that offer the possibility to reverse direction by simply pressing a button. I do own such turntables and I also own a lot of records that supposedly contain backward messages including all studio records of Led Zeppelin. I haven't tried to hear the "backward messages" because I think its only lunatics that take these reports seriously. But for everyone to who thinks it is easy to accuse, for me it is easy to check.
I don't believe the insanity of Satanic influence if you play the music backwards. However even if it were true, it wouldn't matter. In most of the Western world religious freedom is a choice. Besides you'd think they'd pick on Ozzy and Black Sabbath more than Led Zeppelin. I adore both Ozzy and Sabbath, so no insult ok r I'm ok implication of either groups personal beliefs are intended but they were bold enough to write a love song from Lucifer and create a song and album titled Heaven and He'll, both personal favorites of mine. I'm just pointing out that it might make more sense.
@@michellewheatley2007 Some real solid logic there, Michelle...it wouldn't matter?🤣😂🤣 And I guess you don't remember the scripture "satan appears as an angel of light" - so he would choose something in which to insert a hidden message that appears to be light & innocent, like Stairway, not something obvious like Ozzy or Sabbath. You haven't checked it out, but you & Barth declare it "insanity" that only "lunatics" take seriously. Personally, I think only a lunatic would attempt to summon demons, like Jimmy's hero Crowley, & maybe Jimmy himself. Even Zep & their crew believed that Jimmy had brought death & misforture on them with his dabbling. You really should listen to Stairway backwards sometime - "here's to my sweet satan...there was a little path which makes me sad, who's power is satan" Just one of many in one song. They did not do it on purpose, that's humanly impossible (especially for a drug-addled mind!), to have that many paragraphs make sense both FWD & in reverse. Plant had to sing it in just a certain way in the studio, for it to come out as clearly as it did. The drunken version from TSRTS is nowhere near as clear. But the version that millions the world over heard & continue to hear is crystal clear. I'm also sorry to hear that you adore Ozzy & Sabbath - great rock bands, but pathetic excuses for gods. "Adore" means to worship, you know...
John Entwistle came up with Lead Zeppelin. He said the band would go over like a Lead Baloon. Moon took credit for it. That was 1966- Richard Cole worked for the Who then the YBs and told Page.
Really?Are you Sure?How do You really know/See that's the point-Jimmy knew not to say much/That's part of the Magic because it makes us WONDER/So Legends n myth get intertwined w/ "The Truth"-The one thing that REMAINS THE SAME IS-Zeppelin is THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND OF ALL TIME.They are so musically heavy and yet commercially accessible.Here's to The Hammer ofthe GODs.... ... .. .
I wonder why Page insist that the Drums On ( When the levee breaks ) were recorded in a “hallway in a house” when they actually used a “Battle ( Ehecoplex ), with a Studio Reverb” ( and being a Recording Engineer for 43 years myself ….! ) I can clearly tell..! I mean I Love the group …, I Love all the guys ….! , But hey… If the engineer on the album said “No that’s not true ….!” I wonder why Page sticks to the story...? Why make up a Colorful Lie….????
A black magician who summons demons, was reputed at the time to have branded his followers with 666 (reflected in the backwards "toolshed" lines) & to have sacrificed children should be considered a satanist! Does a "simple alchemist" declare himself "the great Beast, 666"?
When they recorded When The Levee Breaks, they actually used both the stairwell and the effect. The stairwell was miced in a few different places and afterwards the effect was added.
@@Steve_643 Engineer Andy Johns recorded the kit in the hall at Headley Grange using 2 Beyer M60 dynamic mics, unorthodox in itself as the overhead mics on a drum kit are usually small condenser phantom powered types (AKG 414 for example). Nothing else was mic'd, the massive snare sound is a combination of Bonham's power, the distance from the overhead mics and the way that allowed them to pick up the natural reverberation of the hall, and the double kick drum effect was from a Binson Echorec, Bonham playing the first hit and the second being the echo of it. The Binson was an alternative to the Echoplex tape loop style delay (it used a metal drum) and can be seen being used by Syd Barrett in that old film of Floyd playing Interstellar Overdrive at Abbey Road.
They didn't release singles not because peter grant wanted to sell albums or whatever, but rather they mostly didn't write songs designed to be singles... They wrote songs fit for an album experience And either way if you look at their catalogue, very few of their songs are under 4-10 minutes long, especially after the 3rd album, which means they literally couldn't release them as singles... This is such a weirdly vague video... I'm triggered 😂
Google it. Crowley had a weird philosophy and was deeply into the occult, but it seems there's no actual evidence that he worshipped Satan. If you find any link it here.
@@burtonkephart6239 The prevailing view is that Crowley was not. You should read the wikipedia page on him. I don't think Page was a satanist anyway. He thought that Crowley was misunderstood. I think that Page was misguided and unwise but that's about the worst of it.
@@heliotropezzz333 You don't have to outwardly pledge allegiance to satan...for you to be *aligned* with the dark side. Obviously, someone who relates to someone like Crowley is willing to play with the dark side.. I think its obvious in their music that this is the case. The music is very seductive...Hopefully Jimmy Page has grown out of this fascination .
Interesting observing that these music craftsmen are attracted to the idea of spiritual dimensions .... IF you can imagine that these forces can be manipulated , then you are clearly self serving ...and must realize that you are in effect "cheating " ....well , that seems no problem to these bands ..of which a LOT of riffs were stolen anyway ....not quite the creative genius that they think they are . Stands to reason then ...that if there are dark forces of energy ...must also be light ....so WHY would you risk your mortal existence against dark energy ? Musicians tend to be an impetuous lot ....and probably Perfect fodder for the "dark to feed on " ......lifes hard enough without inviting this shit into your life . No secret as to why so many young rock stars die young .....turn your back to dark and follow light ....that's as close as i will come to preaching or patronizing anyone ...thats just common bloody sense really . By now ....we all know what that light is called and from where it emanates . Choose wisely .
They weren't still called the new yardbirds The creator of the zeppelin airship didn't allow them to be called led zeppelin in the Denmark show so instead they called themselves " the knobs " for that particular show
Myth or fact : Is what Robbie Williams, Jimmy Page's neighbor, done and said, that he dressed up like Plant, complete with long blonde wig and a " beer belly " while running around his yard and Jammin to hard rock rivals Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple playing on his outside stereo system ?
Most true but they never released a single. The record company did once and Peter Grant went apeshit. Also they played a few concerts under the name The New Yardbirds to fulfil an existing contract that Jimmy had. Immediately after that they became Led Zeppelin.
The drum sound from "Levee.." is enhanced yes but try digging up the original dry mix (not slowed down as is the version you know) and there is definiite ambience in that room. As for stealing riffs, F- Richie Valens's estate. It's a rip off of Ooh My Soul by Little Richard as well as Valens's mother was given a writing credit when the band heard she had received no royalties. Please!
The story telling was all apart of it. Its why there are those weird scenes in the Song Remains the Same. Bonzo wasnt about that and they sold him as the "Animal" drummer persona. It all goes into the history of British Story tellinga and how "stories" create mystique.
Basic compositions???? This statement is so beyond ridiculous, who paid you guys to say that lol. I would argue they had the most intricate musical compositions of any rock band with the exception of Floyd perhaps. The portion of stairway that they were accused of stealing were only the opening 10 seconds of ARPEGGIO chords which were proven to be a basic part of music structure (they weren’t even identical, the third arpeggio chord was completely different). The courts ruled twice in favor of LZ, anyone with basic knowledge in music theory will know that was a money grab. The only people who call it “stealing” don’t understand the history and context of blues music. Covering music and referencing other work is a long time blues tradition. Blues music goes beyond lyricism, it’s about feel and what you bring to it. Virtually all of the British blues-rock bands of the late 60s (Cream, Hendrix, Stones, Peter Green’s FM, Bluesbreakers, etc.) covered material and yes, sometimes without giving credit. Even the second wave blues greats like BB King, Albert King, and Muddy Waters covered music from first wave greats (yes, sometimes without crediting). They weren’t “stealing” they were paying homage to their influences. In the end, out of Led Zeppelin’s 90 studio recorded tracks, only 10 are covers or have referenced material and all of which has been credited since the late 80s with back proceeds given to original artists. Music Copyrights were almost nonexistent prior to the 90s, LZ gets vilified for doing what everyone did because of the proportion of royalties. I’m so sick of hearing people perpetuate this false narrative - this was by far the lamest smear attempt.
I love Led Zeppelin but yes they did flat out steal songs. When The Levee Breaks-Stolen, Whole Lotta Love Stolen. They stole other songs too in the early days. Again I’m a huge fan and don’t care that they did but yes they stole songs
Riff5150 if they are thieves then so are the Stones, Cream, Hendrix Ex. Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, John Mayalls Bluesbreakers. Virtually all of the British blues-influenced groups of the late 60s are guilty of doing exactly what LZ did. So are second-wave blues greats like Muddy Waters, BB King, and Freddie King. They all covered songs and passed down their own reinterpretations from previous generations. And yes, sometimes without credits given. Whether you consider it stealing or not, all 10 of their 90 studio produced tracks that were covers or contained referenced material have been credited with back proceeds given for historical sales. So really, who cares anymore...
Riff5150 how is that any different from any of the covers from the artists mentioned above? Covers are a huge part of blues culture. A vast portion of blues music is traditionally hand-me-downs, that’s because blues is more about feel and emotion than it is about lyrics. And they did take parts of songs as well (example: whole lotta love) which is also commonly practiced in blues. Again, in their eyes they weren’t stealing but paying tribute to their childhood hero’s. But I agree that they should have given credits from the beginning, as should have all of the white British blues rock musicians. I understand why it was wrong to not acknowledge the black musicians who couldn’t break through in the American market until the brits brought their music back over. But I won’t go as far as to call them thieves because I know the history of the genre. Consider that most of the songs they covered were on the first two albums when they had no idea how big they’d be. In the end they gave credits where they were due. Now millions of people are aware of blues music they otherwise would have never heard.
Darius Rafei Zeppelin didn’t give the artists credit originally meaning the original artists didn’t receive royalties hence Zeppelin stole from them like I’ve been saying the whole time 🤦♂️
I didn't know JW Bush was a news reporter? Btw Spirit were a great band! Nature's Way, Animal Zoo, Fresh Garbage! The hits go on with that band. They were from America,and everyone knew of them. That bald guy playing the drums was Randy California, dude ruled man. And I was born in 1976. Both bands were well before my time. God bless my Dad who had every vinyl worth having when I was a child. I use to love opening the albums and looking at the big pictures of the bands and all the interesting art.

heres another myth, and one you repeat. Their name did not come from a comment that they would go down like a lead Balloon. it was a deliberate take on the name Iron Butterfly because they thought this was perfect to describe the fact that they wanted to do both heavy and light music.
This is not entirely accurate. I studied this back n the day and have been muscian for many years. This LedZep track DOES contain intelligible and articulated words when played backwards. But he fails to mention that during the research they had various/ random sound techs and studio engineers look into it and the concession was the following. "Any track that has a backwards masked message "WILL MAKE SOME NOISE WHEN PLAYED FORWARDS" even if subtle..... but any trained sound engineer can isolate all this for review..... Bottom line...."Thiers NO sound on this track FORWARDS.. My point?? Even if you say this is only folks "imagination" can't agree if they are any words at all?.. we all agree thiers noise/ words/ sound .. thiers something there. It's totally clean FORWARDS.... Sound techs agreed.... and commented...."HOW DID IT GET THERE?... its just not technically possible during that analog era of recording technology.. Hmmm? Moreover.. this is exactly what the track says backwards. "MY SWEET SATAN....NO OTHER MADE A PATH... IT MAKES ME SAID... for HIS POWER IS SATAN... how'd it get there ? And if that's not enough of an indictment..... its playing that message at same time its saying...."they're are 2 paths you can go down.... etc....still time to change road your on...." Pretty ironic don't you think? This not only shows clever intent but intelligent design... if u will. In summation.... don't just blow off the old telepreachers as being stupid.... vain..dishonest...hypocritical?.. yep... but FAR from dummies...
The question is if you dabble in the occult are you a satanist? Jimmy Page clearly had a hand in the occult, you are ignoring the obvious if you think otherwise. He never proclaimed he was a "satanist" yes BUT if we term Occult to mean the study of supernatural phenomenon apart from Jesus Christ then YES that it IS satanism.
@@johnd5398 my point, there is mention of him dabbling with the occult but it's brushed off as nothing major. Like practicing occultism must reach a certain level before we can say it's Satanism. That's silly.

I would guess that bonafide Satan worshippers are rare, especially among rockers. Rockers who have had lyrical references to Satan and adorned their bodies and merchandise with and used as stage props satanic symbols have been largely pseudo-Satanists, people who don't actually pray to Satan or engage in satanic rituals but use Satan as a marketing tool.
Many of these same people would probably soil themselves if they had an actual demonic encounter.

At 07:00, they're wrong about When The Levee Breaks. The drums were recorded in the foyer of the Headly Grange house. The reverb is natural the echo is electronic. It's a combination of both.

"There are none so blind as those who WILL not see." There are also various psychological reasons why people hear something clearly, yet still deny it. It's funny that Page & Plant both stated that Stairway suddenly came to them, as if from another source. It's also funny that no other band has multiple entire paragraphs in a song that make sense in both FWD & Reverse. I enjoy listening to Zep on occasion, but I do so knowing & rejecting the spirit behind them. Yeah, Crowley was a black magician & conjured demons, as well as being reputed to have branded some of his followers with 666 (reflected in the backwards "toolshed" lines) & to have sacrificed children....but of course he wasn't a satanist! Talk about splitting hairs. Once again, "there are none so blind..."
Aleister Crowley was not a satanist?! He was one of the worst, if not the worst! Lies!

It was actually the bassist for The Who, John Entwistle who made the comment about calling them Led Zeppelin, not Keith Moon.
The entity residing in Plant, Page and Bonham while performing with Led Zeppelin… is ageless. They were merely vessels. No 20 year old has the capacity for this depth. Seriously. People who still believe there are no dark deals made with other worlds by these rockers….are so two dimensional. They flat out tell you what they did to achieve infamy. All of them do. Bob Dylan says he did it in an interview. They ALL sing about it. Led Zeppelin put sigils all over their albums. They believe in it…yet the people who listen to them, don’t. How odd. Almost like you’re all enchanted by the magick…can’t see what no one is even hiding from you.
You pay a price for this sort of fame. The three who participated in the incantation have paid dearly. I’m sure Plant would give it all up to have his son back. Bonham, his life. And Page…well…he didn’t love much…so he lost the one thing that mattered to him…his band and his talent. He hasn’t had one success since the band split. Always trying to relive these days…never succeeding.
Every rocker worth a damn has the SAME. STORY.

I Never Saw Led Zeppelin in Concert, but I Didn't see Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page in Concert in Concord California, Most Of The songs they Played were Led Zeppelin Songs. That Very Concert is on TH-cam it was 1998
There were somethings else. I can't remember where I read it but it was stated that Jimmy Page made Robert and Bonzo take part in some unknown ceremony to ensure the success of the band. John Paul Jones declined to take part though. It may all come out (or not) in Jimmy's autobiography which he says will be published after he dies. David Bowie is alleged to have asked Jimmy Page to leave his house 'by the door or the window'. Bowie was interested in Jimmy's interest in the occult and was asking him questions but he got no answers from Jimmy, only a strange rictus smile. That's when he got spooked and asked Jimmy to leave. It was alleged that he then had his house exorcised. There was also an instance of someone meeting Robert after Bonzo's death and Robert is alleged to have told him he should keep away from Jimmy as he was evil. They seem to be friends now though. It's easy to look for things or people to blame when tragic things happen. Jimmy wasn't a Satan worshipper though. It's a bit of a myth that Aleister Crowley was, though he was certainly weird and deeply interested in the occult. Jimmy once bought Crowley's house but didn't live there much. He rented it out an eventually sold it. Jimmy declines to talk about personal matters.

Accusing recording artists to hide messages backwards in their song was easy to do because you had to do a lot of awkward work to reverse the playing direction ofaudio eqiupment. But there are several turntables around today that offer the possibility to reverse direction by simply pressing a button. I do own such turntables and I also own a lot of records that supposedly contain backward messages including all studio records of Led Zeppelin. I haven't tried to hear the "backward messages" because I think its only lunatics that take these reports seriously. But for everyone to who thinks it is easy to accuse, for me it is easy to check.
I don't believe the insanity of Satanic influence if you play the music backwards. However even if it were true, it wouldn't matter. In most of the Western world religious freedom is a choice. Besides you'd think they'd pick on Ozzy and Black Sabbath more than Led Zeppelin. I adore both Ozzy and Sabbath, so no insult ok r I'm ok implication of either groups personal beliefs are intended but they were bold enough to write a love song from Lucifer and create a song and album titled Heaven and He'll, both personal favorites of mine. I'm just pointing out that it might make more sense.
@@michellewheatley2007 Some real solid logic there, Michelle...it wouldn't matter?🤣😂🤣 And I guess you don't remember the scripture "satan appears as an angel of light" - so he would choose something in which to insert a hidden message that appears to be light & innocent, like Stairway, not something obvious like Ozzy or Sabbath. You haven't checked it out, but you & Barth declare it "insanity" that only "lunatics" take seriously. Personally, I think only a lunatic would attempt to summon demons, like Jimmy's hero Crowley, & maybe Jimmy himself. Even Zep & their crew believed that Jimmy had brought death & misforture on them with his dabbling. You really should listen to Stairway backwards sometime - "here's to my sweet satan...there was a little path which makes me sad, who's power is satan" Just one of many in one song. They did not do it on purpose, that's humanly impossible (especially for a drug-addled mind!), to have that many paragraphs make sense both FWD & in reverse. Plant had to sing it in just a certain way in the studio, for it to come out as clearly as it did. The drunken version from TSRTS is nowhere near as clear. But the version that millions the world over heard & continue to hear is crystal clear. I'm also sorry to hear that you adore Ozzy & Sabbath - great rock bands, but pathetic excuses for gods. "Adore" means to worship, you know...
John Entwistle came up with Lead Zeppelin. He said the band would go over like a Lead Baloon. Moon took credit for it. That was 1966- Richard Cole worked for the Who then the YBs and told Page.

@@citieslostchild it's in the autobiography hammer of the gods
When they recorded When The Levee Breaks, they actually used both the stairwell and the effect. The stairwell was miced in a few different places and afterwards the effect was added.
They used a technique of letting the drums breathe not mic’ing individual drums but using 2 mics above the whole set!!!!
@@Steve_643 Engineer Andy Johns recorded the kit in the hall at Headley Grange using 2 Beyer M60 dynamic mics, unorthodox in itself as the overhead mics on a drum kit are usually small condenser phantom powered types (AKG 414 for example). Nothing else was mic'd, the massive snare sound is a combination of Bonham's power, the distance from the overhead mics and the way that allowed them to pick up the natural reverberation of the hall, and the double kick drum effect was from a Binson Echorec, Bonham playing the first hit and the second being the echo of it. The Binson was an alternative to the Echoplex tape loop style delay (it used a metal drum) and can be seen being used by Syd Barrett in that old film of Floyd playing Interstellar Overdrive at Abbey Road.

And either way if you look at their catalogue, very few of their songs are under 4-10 minutes long, especially after the 3rd album, which means they literally couldn't release them as singles...

Crowley not a satanist? You lost all credibility forever.

Google it. Crowley had a weird philosophy and was deeply into the occult, but it seems there's no actual evidence that he worshipped Satan. If you find any link it here.

@@burtonkephart6239 The prevailing view is that Crowley was not. You should read the wikipedia page on him. I don't think Page was a satanist anyway. He thought that Crowley was misunderstood. I think that Page was misguided and unwise but that's about the worst of it.
@@heliotropezzz333 You don't have to outwardly pledge allegiance to satan...for you to be *aligned* with the dark side. Obviously, someone who relates to someone like Crowley is willing to play with the dark side.. I think its obvious in their music that this is the case. The music is very seductive...Hopefully Jimmy Page has grown out of this fascination .
Interesting observing that these music craftsmen are attracted to the idea of spiritual dimensions ....
IF you can imagine that these forces can be manipulated , then you are clearly self serving ...and must realize that you are in effect "cheating " ....well , that seems no problem to these bands ..of which a LOT of riffs were stolen anyway ....not quite the creative genius that they think they are .
Stands to reason then ...that if there are dark forces of energy ...must also be light ....so WHY would you risk your mortal existence against dark energy ?
Musicians tend to be an impetuous lot ....and probably Perfect fodder for the "dark to feed on " ......lifes hard enough without inviting this shit into your life .
No secret as to why so many young rock stars die young .....turn your back to dark and follow light ....that's as close as i will come to preaching or patronizing anyone ...thats just common bloody sense really .
By now ....we all know what that light is called and from where it emanates .
Choose wisely .

Nice presentation of "fun facts" about the world's greatest rock band.

😮 haha, so what

Still not taken from them

Robbie Williams may have done that...certainly not Jimmy.
Why don't Rap n hip hop get sued, the same boom booom beats sounding the same ? ...
Rap hip hop promote poverty so they will be eternally by yhe media
Most true but they never released a single. The record company did once and Peter Grant went apeshit. Also they played a few concerts under the name The New Yardbirds to fulfil an existing contract that Jimmy had. Immediately after that they became Led Zeppelin.
I don't know how many they released but a friend has " The Immigrant Song" with " Hey Hey What can I do" on the flip side.
The drum sound from "Levee.." is enhanced yes but try digging up the original dry mix (not slowed down as is the version you know) and there is definiite ambience in that room. As for stealing riffs, F- Richie Valens's estate. It's a rip off of Ooh My Soul by Little Richard as well as Valens's mother was given a writing credit when the band heard she had received no royalties. Please!
Robert did in fact rip up the contract, he said he did when Howard stern interviewed him
the new yardbirds switched their name in 68 not 69 i just triplechecked it .
The story telling was all apart of it. Its why there are those weird scenes in the Song Remains the Same. Bonzo wasnt about that and they sold him as the "Animal" drummer persona. It all goes into the history of British Story tellinga and how "stories" create mystique.
Basic compositions???? This statement is so beyond ridiculous, who paid you guys to say that lol. I would argue they had the most intricate musical compositions of any rock band with the exception of Floyd perhaps. The portion of stairway that they were accused of stealing were only the opening 10 seconds of ARPEGGIO chords which were proven to be a basic part of music structure (they weren’t even identical, the third arpeggio chord was completely different). The courts ruled twice in favor of LZ, anyone with basic knowledge in music theory will know that was a money grab.
The only people who call it “stealing” don’t understand the history and context of blues music. Covering music and referencing other work is a long time blues tradition. Blues music goes beyond lyricism, it’s about feel and what you bring to it. Virtually all of the British blues-rock bands of the late 60s (Cream, Hendrix, Stones, Peter Green’s FM, Bluesbreakers, etc.) covered material and yes, sometimes without giving credit. Even the second wave blues greats like BB King, Albert King, and Muddy Waters covered music from first wave greats (yes, sometimes without crediting). They weren’t “stealing” they were paying homage to their influences. In the end, out of Led Zeppelin’s 90 studio recorded tracks, only 10 are covers or have referenced material and all of which has been credited since the late 80s with back proceeds given to original artists. Music Copyrights were almost nonexistent prior to the 90s, LZ gets vilified for doing what everyone did because of the proportion of royalties.
I’m so sick of hearing people perpetuate this false narrative - this was by far the lamest smear attempt.
I love Led Zeppelin but yes they did flat out steal songs. When The Levee Breaks-Stolen, Whole Lotta Love Stolen. They stole other songs too in the early days. Again I’m a huge fan and don’t care that they did but yes they stole songs
Riff5150 if they are thieves then so are the Stones, Cream, Hendrix Ex. Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, John Mayalls Bluesbreakers. Virtually all of the British blues-influenced groups of the late 60s are guilty of doing exactly what LZ did. So are second-wave blues greats like Muddy Waters, BB King, and Freddie King. They all covered songs and passed down their own reinterpretations from previous generations. And yes, sometimes without credits given.
Whether you consider it stealing or not, all 10 of their 90 studio produced tracks that were covers or contained referenced material have been credited with back proceeds given for historical sales. So really, who cares anymore...
Darius Rafei They literally stole songs, not parts of songs but whole songs and didn’t give the artists credit genius
Riff5150 how is that any different from any of the covers from the artists mentioned above? Covers are a huge part of blues culture. A vast portion of blues music is traditionally hand-me-downs, that’s because blues is more about feel and emotion than it is about lyrics.
And they did take parts of songs as well (example: whole lotta love) which is also commonly practiced in blues. Again, in their eyes they weren’t stealing but paying tribute to their childhood hero’s.
But I agree that they should have given credits from the beginning, as should have all of the white British blues rock musicians. I understand why it was wrong to not acknowledge the black musicians who couldn’t break through in the American market until the brits brought their music back over. But I won’t go as far as to call them thieves because I know the history of the genre. Consider that most of the songs they covered were on the first two albums when they had no idea how big they’d be. In the end they gave credits where they were due. Now millions of people are aware of blues music they otherwise would have never heard.
Darius Rafei Zeppelin didn’t give the artists credit originally meaning the original artists didn’t receive royalties hence Zeppelin stole from them like I’ve been saying the whole time 🤦♂️
I didn't know JW Bush was a news reporter? Btw Spirit were a great band! Nature's Way, Animal Zoo, Fresh Garbage! The hits go on with that band. They were from America,and everyone knew of them. That bald guy playing the drums was Randy California, dude ruled man. And I was born in 1976. Both bands were well before my time.

You should make a video about why they are the greatest band in the known universe
This is not entirely accurate. I studied this back n the day and have been muscian for many years.
This LedZep track DOES contain intelligible and articulated words when played backwards.
But he fails to mention that during the research they had various/ random sound techs and studio engineers look into it and the concession was the following.
"Any track that has a backwards masked message "WILL MAKE SOME NOISE WHEN PLAYED FORWARDS" even if subtle..... but any trained sound engineer can isolate all this for review.....
Bottom line...."Thiers NO sound on this track FORWARDS..
My point??
Even if you say this is only folks "imagination" can't agree if they are any words at all?.. we all agree thiers noise/ words/ sound .. thiers something there.
It's totally clean FORWARDS.... Sound techs agreed.... and commented...."HOW DID IT GET THERE?... its just not technically possible during that analog era of recording technology..
Hmmm?
Moreover.. this is exactly what the track says backwards.
"MY SWEET SATAN....NO OTHER MADE A PATH... IT MAKES ME SAID... for HIS POWER IS SATAN...
how'd it get there ? And if that's not enough of an indictment..... its playing that message at same time its saying...."they're are 2 paths you can go down.... etc....still time to change road your on...."
Pretty ironic don't you think? This not only shows clever intent but intelligent design... if u will.
In summation.... don't just blow off the old telepreachers as being stupid.... vain..dishonest...hypocritical?.. yep... but FAR from dummies...
Wisdom!
The question is if you dabble in the occult are you a satanist? Jimmy Page clearly had a hand in the occult, you are ignoring the obvious if you think otherwise. He never proclaimed he was a "satanist" yes BUT if we term Occult to mean the study of supernatural phenomenon apart from Jesus Christ then YES that it IS satanism.
uhh.. yeah... they did clearly mention his interest in the occult. What's your point?
@@johnd5398 my point, there is mention of him dabbling with the occult but it's brushed off as nothing major. Like practicing occultism must reach a certain level before we can say it's Satanism. That's silly.
