A cover is not Plagarism unless you try to play it of as your own work... None of these covers were passed of as their own work by any of the bands mentioned... And putting plagerism (which is bad) on a par with rape and genocide!!! Whoa now..... Steady yourself.. Kin Doofage!!
@SugarBlueHarp Because comparing copying someone and exterminating a specific culture, race, nationality, or other distinctive feature is rational. Get your shit together.
in the future, nobody serious about this music is going to bother to listen to the adolescent Led Zep take on these superb songs. They'll go to the originals.
@callipposhots I'm serious about this music and I listen to zeppelin all the time. I agree that there's nothing like the origional versions of these songs, but zeppelin did a great job covering these songs and I listen to both versions. They done their own take of the music and it was great. Just like all the other bands who covered these songs. And they introduced this music to a lot of people who would have never heard it otherwise.
sounds better than beck, megadeth and all the other rockers who covered this. the grit is what you hear from the original artist, especially that rythmn section, snappy as a cold day in a warm place
(Uppity" mostly evokes Jim Crow usage) RE your ?'s, I'm Wolf's kindred-spirit collaborative friend, music student (we made 2 songs) & often-seen iconic images photographer, often too minus credit/lic.fees. This issue is dealt with re commercial infringement, per Wolf's wish too, him being most generous & caring. The "quotes" are mine (articles, book pending) + Wolf's correspondence to me in 1968. SRV's career, cut short, shows credibility. Honestly/credited 'derivative' music is ok (unlike Zep)
@howlingsandy , Agree on infringement but in this litigative world it's Sue & get what we can, "settle" when court won't be worth it. Zep settled & also gave credit in many cases (ie: 1st album). Bluesmen have long been "borrowing" from each other. Midnight Special was copyrighted for Ledbelly, & an earlier recorded version turned up & that's a rewrite of On Top Of Old Smokey "borrowed" from early Scot & Irish settlers. Intro on Pride and Joy is the note 4 note solo of another song, no credit.
@Geepsterr sounds like you more so hope to diminish or justify it with reified, selectively oversimplified takes on "facts" force-screened through the commonly-induced tunnel vision, solely linear view of "history". Such encouraging trickle-down altered and altering of reality (perhaps to assuage uncertainty and responsibility of deeper lookings into or to prevent pain evoked from its alienating onset surfacing.. Most don't know the total bag of such they carry around.and, worse, who it serves.
@howlingsandy Well Ledbelly played Midnight Special in jail for Alan Lomax whom recorded it for library of congress but a record already existed. ironically a comercial record. But even so if you simply use your ears and listen to on Top of Old Smokey on top of Midnight Special you will see they are nearly the same song line per line. This did not trickle down. I realized it within myself. Same with Pride and Joy I heard a 50 blues record on the radio and was floored that it had the exact solo
@howlingsandy Diminish or ? Led Zep's uncredited usage ? No, I don't know enough about it . I only know that they settled out of court , paid up. Zepplin did other blues songs that do show the writers name. It is where I first heard of W. Dixon (before Lemon Song). Cream & Zep Stones generated a lot of royalties for some hungry bluesmen & generated a whole new wave of interest in blues along with a new audience . That serves everyone involved . That said Pure plagiarism is very wrong.
@Geepsterr Well said. Had it not been for the Stones, I may not have discovered American blues. The Stones may have stolen it, but they also knew how to give back.
@SoberGeorge Thanks . The Stones gave credit to the writers which precludes stealing and went so far as to get a major pop music television show to have Howlin Wolf on and perform with them . Not discounting the Stones love of the blues but fans were buying the early albums for hits like Satisfaction , 19th Nervous Breakdown, Get Off My Cloud, Mothers Little Helper . Thus they weened fans onto the blues through B sides.
@Geepsterr We're on the same page. If my memory serves me well, Brian Jones insisted that Howlin' Wolf join them on "Shindig". More than a jesture of paying homage to one of their idols; they probably just wanted to turn white America on to black American music. White American kids needed to hear the blues performed by five Englishmen before it could be digested. The world was different then. We were so protected in our lovely suburbs that we could not see or hear beyond them.
@Rimmez i dont believe this to be his first cut but the best all the same this is from the london sessions its from the famous album with howling wolf getting uppertiey with eric clapton before eric mackes the mind blowing solo on little red roster
@9mej "getting uppertiey" (MORONIC RACIST COMMENT + WOLF WAS TRYING TO HAVE CLAPTON PLAY A RIFF BASIC TO THE SONG) "with eric clapton before eric mackes the mind blowing solo on little red roster" (LOL - Your mind blows easy son, as for those who actually play blues, not "blues chops," Clapton has been often a "lookamee am playing bluuzzeee" wannabe. As Wolf wrote to me at that time," the boys here are good but don't have it like the American boys" but am glad the album came out, of course.
@howlingsandy WOW where'd the quotes come from ? a documentary movie ? Sure Eric should've known the "meat and potatoes " of the song. I'd be the first to say Clapton is almost as shamelessly derivative of a "bluesman" as Vaughan was...not quite . Nonetheless Clapton has done more for the blues in the last 50 years than any other individual in terms of bringing it to the masses and helping to promote a public awareness . BTW "uppity" racist? high yella no nation muth...Hah
@Rimmez This is from when Howlin' Wolf & Hubert Sumlin went to England to make an album with a number of Brit blues players. Details are online and on this site
Metallica the black album got me into "guitar music" then i heard the blues..i listern to all sorts and have my dad to thank for that blues-metal-regga-metal-glam etc. my point being check out Megadeth's version
