Back to Zeppelin.

The zeppelin this was from a brochure about the zeppelin based, obviously, on the Hindenburg.

Zeppelin copied without making fundamental changes.

Only two things distinguished Zeppelin from their peers.

Zeppelin crashed and burned before I was born.

Led Zeppelin went from the copier to the copied.

My Zeppelin interpolation, come on. You don't like it?

Zeppelin toured with Spirit in 1968, three years before Stairway was released.

Secondly, Led Zeppelin didn't modify their versions enough to claim they were original.

But the zeppelin was the biggest thing that ever moved made by man.

Zeppelin clearly copied a lot of other people's material, but that alone, isn't unusual.

Firstly, when Zeppelin used someone else's material, they didn't attribute songwriting to the original artist.

I managed to stick in both the zeppelin and an ocean liner out of sheer enthusiasm.

Most British blues groups were recording lots of covers, but unlike Zeppelin, they didn't claim to have written them.

The Song Remains the Same Jimmy Page recruits John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, and John Bonham to form Led Zeppelin.

By the mid 1970s Led Zeppelin are the biggest touring rock band in America, yet many critics and peers label them as rip offs.

So in 1961 William Burroughs not only invents the term heavy metal, the brand of music Zeppelin and a few other groups would pioneer, he also produces an early remix.
