  • whats up with all the zep hatred? all artists are inspired by others before them. some lyrics are similar, but the music and over all sound is completely different. so dont pin copying songs on jimmy. if anything he is arguably the most copied guitarist in both sound and image, next to hendrix

  • @toolkien Don't be that guy. This is about music, not politics.

  • what a great chord progression

  • i don't know if i would go as far as saying Zeppelin "stole" this song. where its obvious that Robert had an immense knowledge of blues lyrics, you still gotta give em credit for being so original with their song as a whole

  • very cool i knew the song wasnt original to Zep but had never heard the original track thanks so much for posting this part of history

  • To deth666 & number2055:Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it-C.S. Lewis. Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory it too good. Friedrich Nietzsche

    Stop trying to be original! You both suck at it!

  • Wow this is up tempo.

  • amazing

  • This is why we have YouTube. I ignore comments and the video. The music is what matters to me you sods. I'm not sure I would want to imagine about how any of you were conceived, like such base comments matter to anyone.

    Thanks for posting. I really loved the music.

  • @number2055 if its any consolation , you are both idiots . Crips ? Is that anothetr word for a queer ?

  • You people bitch to much about the video, its about the song. shit more than 75% of u viewing this were conceived while your parents fucked to the zepplin version. getcha pull and open up to the goods

  • APC's rendition sucked.  Zeppelin however nailed it
