I think what a lot of diehard Zep fans respond to in the music is the progressive, epic style that they brought to the music. Yes, they had the energy and influence and music of the blues, but the music was a kind of fantastic extension of that in a progressive, post-psychedelic style. So when you read comments here attacking Zep for "blatantly ripping off" blues artists, take it with a pound of salt. The very thing that fans love the most is not the blues roots, it's the transformative style.
Amazingly.....no band...and I mean no band.... sounds like a full on Led Zeppelin.......very strange indeed...where are all these wronged parties?
Is it perhaps possible that a unique style of Page..combined with truly a singular voice in rock music that Plant just blew out there...along with the experimental use of jet-engine in full roar sound....maybe...just maybe created a totally new sound?
Let's face it..a millions upon millions of fans are not all wrong...
Very good doco! And it confirms what we all new in terms of where all early British rock bands drew inspiration. As stated by those from the very heart of the industry, in that era, these bands, in particular Led Zeppelin, were heavily influenced by Afro-American blues artists. "Influenced" sounds nowhere near as nasty as "plagiarised".
I totally agree I've listened to Zep albums `100's 1000's of times and they really were amongst the very best.The black roots of course are evident and initially created rock and roll and heavily influenced Zeppelin and the other british bands but like most things they came along and in my opinion dramatically improved the sound.
whenever people say Led Zeppelin sounds like people like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf doesn't mean actually "sound" like them. if you pay attention to only Jimmy Page's early style of guitar playing did resemble theirs, but over time Jimmy developed his own style of playing. so don't jump to such bold conclusions
As a 17 year old, I'm astounded by all the glorious music of the 60's, 70's and 80's. Just slowing discovering Zeppelin. I've wasted 17 years of my life not listening to them!
@ppbonbon I honestly & truly hope, for the sake of music, more youngsters like you are getting interested in the legacy from 60s/70s & later 80s music...... If not so I do have a verry Dark future in mind !!! I''m glad you are exploring those glory days ...... !!!
I still think The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are ahead of them. Led Zeppelin comes in third place as the greatest band of all time. Guess most music critics would agree with me also... Let's be honest, you can't really beat The Beatles and The Stones, can you?
Features not one single second of Zep music. You do, however, get to see the highly-talented Marky Ramone do an impression of "Whole Lotta Love". Oh and some absolutely bizarre wind tunnel haircuts. Still worth watching, though!
i don't know why i am saying it, but i just feel like it. I am not going to lie, going to a led zeppelin concert must have been out of this world. but when i discover i knew zeppelin song that i like, i get bored of it very quickly. yea...
Maybe it's just me, but I've listened to Zeppelin's albums hundreds or thousands of time in the last 35 years, and I've never thought, "Wow! That sounds like Muddy waters or Howlin' Wolf". Nobody sounded like Zep. In my opinion, they were/are originals. Sure, "The lemon Song" came from Wolf's "Killing Floor", but they don't sound alike to me. Rock and Roll wouldn't be what we know today without the 60's British groups and I'm grateful for them. Just my opinion.
@ToddSweeneyOnce And 60s rock and roll groups wouldn't exist without the negros that came before them. . . people seem to forget that all of the howling and raw energy commonly associated with rock and roll was originally perceived as primeval/negroid/alien to white music/culture. That's like saying, "lolz, Western civilization wouldn't be the same without Ancient Greece," and ignoring Mesopotamian civilization entirely. Historically dishonest, lol.
@ToddSweeneyOnce they covered a few songs yet you have to research to find out they didn't write it. cos they own a piece of music when they play it. if I write a song. Led Zeppelin covers it and then I perform it people will say nice cover. I'd say but I wrote it and played it years before LZ. The person would say led zeppelin can cover any song and own it. the song is now theirs.
@ToddSweeneyOnce listen to fred mcdowell and tell me you think zeppelin sounds completely original they have borrowed soo much from blues more so than most and it can be heard through out albums like led zeppelin 2.
you know it really pisses me off as an American that the UK stole the American Black man's music which was not really well known by white people, redid it, and sold it to us caucasian americans. Why was I so dumb as a teenager? And worse, American News never disclosed this......
@bobmarleyisgod1 u bloody idiot did u even watch the god damn video? i play the guitar and harmonica for over 20 years i don't need a lecture on playing! are u familiar with the term "plaggiarism" ? they were also sued by some song owner, they presented these old blues songs as theirs, get a grip kid
@bobmarleyisgod1 it's on youtube search for it , u'd be thinking twice to answer "actually not" that fast next time TRUST me . I like led zeppelin too but it's the truth
I wouldn't call Zeppelin Metal, definitely a stepping stone but not quite there. Alot of people have commented that the Immigrant song is Metal but personally I think the closest they ever got was Communication Breakdown. In the end Who gives a Fuck? They're a great band. \m/
@conner1ze u r right but they started more of like the rock not so much metal Sabbath started metal because their song Black Sabbath was about the devil and what do u hear them singing about today the Devil.
zeppelin wrote one of the 1st metal songs of all time, THE IMMIGRANT SONG, BUT, that was the ONLY METAL SONG THEY EVER DID! everything else is BLUES BASED , rock and folk acoustic! they were so diverse, inlcuding everything from blues, far eastern music with kashmir, country and so on and so on!!! just amazing musicians! FRIGGIN LEGENDS!!!
listen to the "Rain Song" or "Tangerine "or anything from Houses of the Holy and it's difficult to put Zeppelin in the same category as Black Sabbath . They went alot of directions musically that other 'heavy ' bands did not dare attempt to go . I love metal music but Zeppelin was so much more . But when it came time ti geat heavy , noone did it better .
i hate documentaries like these, no led zeppelin music, just shitty background music from other artists. so cheesy. since when was the discovery channel not able to pay for at least a couple of led zeppelin songs? cheap-o...
@sausagenpeppers it's not a discovery channel thing it's a led zeppelin thing....they're infamous for NEVER ever letting anyone use their music for any reason.....only the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High & that's only because it was written by Cameron Crowe who was one of so few journalists (& pretty much the only one at Rolling Stone) that ever championed them
@Kashmirishable eh presence has achilles last stand and tea for 1 and knowbodys fault but mine they ARE MASTERPEICES, but the other 2 albums in through the out door and codo are not great , there are about 3 great song of coda and about 2 or 3 great songs of in through tha out door. giive them ago tha last 3 albums hav recieved alot of mixed reivews either way its all just and opion, so just check them allout
Zep I and II is hard-rock. Zep III is a mixture of folk and hard-rock. Zep IIII is a return to hard-rock (as the dominate sound) mix with folk. House of the holy is mixture of all-the-above (hard-rock and folk) plus reggae. Physical Graffti is the same as the others (hard-rock and folk) minus the reggae.
@ChiToNYc Did IV have any effect on you worth mentioning? Some people like it, I'm told. Just so you know, only II and IV are really worth listening to from start to finish, while the rest all but define the word "inconsistency." to put it very, very charitably. Class dismissed.
@ChiToNYc i actually think theres more physical graffiti no offense but i think that there is also some funk in there, old kind of rock mixed with the rock at the time and psychedelic kind of song like 'in the light'
Stupid question but i am curious -was Jimmy dying his hair black in , like, 90's or it was always his natural colour? because his hair turned into greyalmost immediaately in last couple of years.
during the 50's no white people listen to negro music ..it was the britist who made the negro music alive just because they are white musicians white americans start to listen negro music
you cant categorize a band like zeppelin, they did everything, blues, rock n roll, folk work, great acoustic work....one of the most dynamic bands i've ever heard in history, if not THEE most, their music came as naturally as living life :) a truly magical band.
@SuicideSamurai11 you cannot say that about Zep--They tried too much....Look at Evermore, or Going to Cal...That's not metal...
Kashmir, Achilles, How many more times, etc... might sound metalish...But a tag doesn't justify a band that tried so much..Along with Floyd, they have arguably the most eclectic oeuvre
I was eighteen when Led Zeppelin 1 came out. At the time we thought of it as some kind of blend of blues and rock.
Heavy Metal was, at the time, at least for us, bands like Iron Butterfly, with a slower and very trippy metallic tone. That was the understanding where I lived.
Kids in other places might have had a different take on it. They often do.
Led Zeppelin 1 made quite an impression, though, let me tell ya. Jimmy Page is the grandfather of a whole lot of music.
I know. High school was the time. It is impossible to communicate what it was like back then to people who did not experience the incredible explosion of great pop music as the original group of baby boomers got old enough to write it. Every week the new billboard charts came out with great new hits by the big talents and a slew of "one hit wonders" to go with them. It was like an avalanche of great music. It was a completley stunning phenomenon.
bluesbased rock!... what rock isnt? and i heard this idiot argument with that zeppelin, is inspired by blues and therefor are talentles.. what music isn't inspired by something else? and tell me WHAT BAND SOUNDS EVEN A LITTLE BIT IIKE ZEPPELIN?
@fretbook Thank you fretb, you said it all, and you said it RIGHT. Ignorance and intellectual dishonesty and lack of objectivity alone, says otherwise. Peace.
well, very nice to finally see that someone understands this! and understands the music from an era of true talent. where voices didn't have to get synthisized to sound great and we didn't have these recordcompany made girl singers that dance around in videos. so, thanks mate!
Immigrant Song is def one of their heavier songs and that is on Zeppelin III. Than youve got Since Ive Been Loving you on there which isnt metal but its no way country accoustic. Also, Out on the Tiles is more heavier also. So i wouldnt call that album country accoustic. Maybe the B side but not the whole album
@SlackBabbathTs I dunno bout that. Immigrant song is pretty metalish. Zep is "proto metal" i think, with songs like achlles last stand and immigrant song and maybe even dazed and confused.
because it was. check out their perfomances at the royal albert hall. Check out dazed and confused in my favorites on my profile. Then once your done that my boy, come back here and try to say zeppelin didnt pionier heavy metal. run along now son
I did watch that performance, and i still resent the fact that people say they are a heavy metal band... pioneered the sound, perhaps but never metal to begin with...
Well, listen to the evening show in the Madison Square Garden (19.09. 1970) then you'll understand. ;-)
But you can't forget that "heavy metal" as a genre wasn't really founded until the early 80's. Before that is was more a term applied to music having this kind of metalic sound to it. Of course today you wouldn't consider them heavy metal.
Anyway, to label Zeppelin heavy metal is actually offensive and devaluing. They were so much better than anything in that particular genre ever could be.
Thanks for uploading this.... ive read a few bio's on Zeppelin but never seen a good documentary. The best Zeppelin book by the way is "Stairway to Heaven".... its better then Hammer of the Gods even

It is impossible to communicate what it was like back then to people who did not experience the incredible explosion of great pop music as the original group of baby boomers got old enough to write it. Every week the new billboard charts came out with great new hits by the big talents and a slew of "one hit wonders" to go with them. It was like an avalanche of great music. It was a completley stunning phenomenon.

Remember Jimmy Page once said "If the Rolling Stones are the sons of Muddy Waters, then Led Zeppelin are the sons of Howlin' Wolf". Spot on I think.

@fretbook Thank you fretb, you said it all, and you said it RIGHT. Ignorance and intellectual dishonesty and lack of objectivity alone, says otherwise. Peace.

well, very nice to finally see that someone understands this! and understands the music from an era of true talent. where voices didn't have to get synthisized to sound great and we didn't have these recordcompany made girl singers that dance around in videos. so, thanks mate!

It's not metal, it's heavy blues/rock...
For instance the album LZ III is, i would say, country acoustic... no metal whatsoever anywhere.

@SlackBabbathTs ...... immigrant song? pretty much pure metal

@SlackBabbathTs
Immigrant Song is def one of their heavier songs and that is on Zeppelin III. Than youve got Since Ive Been Loving you on there which isnt metal but its no way country accoustic. Also, Out on the Tiles is more heavier also. So i wouldnt call that album country accoustic. Maybe the B side but not the whole album

@SlackBabbathTs I think of it as the small tiny embryo of metal if you know what I mean.

@SlackBabbathTs I dunno bout that. Immigrant song is pretty metalish. Zep is "proto metal" i think, with songs like achlles last stand and immigrant song and maybe even dazed and confused.

@SlackBabbathTs Sorry but in '70 it was called heavy metal. Now it's called Classic heavy metal or 70s heavy metal if you like.

I did watch that performance, and i still resent the fact that people say they are a heavy metal band... pioneered the sound, perhaps but never metal to begin with...

Well, listen to the evening show in the Madison Square Garden (19.09. 1970) then you'll understand. ;-)
But you can't forget that "heavy metal" as a genre wasn't really founded until the early 80's. Before that is was more a term applied to music having this kind of metalic sound to it. Of course today you wouldn't consider them heavy metal.
Anyway, to label Zeppelin heavy metal is actually offensive and devaluing. They were so much better than anything in that particular genre ever could be.
