@madguitarist8042 One other thing I should let you know about. When a song is "copy righted" they have to get permission to record and release those song from the person who copy righted it or they can be sued.
@madguitarist8042 Yes there are reason to bring up other bands. You say "most of their songs," which ones. I gave you a list last night of just a few of their hits and this was the only one you could talk about. Do you know how many songs the Beatles did starting out that were sung by well known artist? Your claim is meaningless, you are just singling out Led for whatever reason you may have. They made a classic out of what would have been a never heard song before.
@brofranomo Again, I was just pointing out most of their songs are covers of songs. No need to bring up other bands. Their career were based off of copyrighted songs.
@madguitarist8042 OK, just to start with would Jimi Hendrix's version of all along the watchtower qualify? It's not about publishing by the way, it's about "arrangements" of the songs. Many songs fail at first and go on to be major hits when arranged in a different way as Led did. Great White did not attempt to do that here. That first song with "Norwegian Wood" did you notice how they changed the arrangement? Beatles had already made it a hit years go though.
@madguitarist8042 And I'm being honest too. There are sooo many artist who were simply made for writing lyrics, and music. I have a older friend who wrote a song for a well know country singer which became a major hit for the artist. Prince has written so many songs for so many musicians it's ridiculous. My point is that Led took that song and simply made it theirs. I just listened to Joan Baezs version. Very lame. OH and also The Beatles did it too.
@madguitarist8042 And it was changed somewhat. Now you said "most of their hits," Whole lotta love, Kashmire, Stairway to heaven, Ten Years Gone, How Many More Times and so many more, and I do know the stories behind these songs and how they came about. Do you have any idea how many songs that music artist have written that were recorded by other artist that were successful? Obviously not.
@brofranomo "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is a folk song written by Anne Bredon (then known as Anne Johannsen) in the late 1950s. It was recorded by Joan Baez (credited as "traditional") and released on her 1962 album Joan Baez in Concert, Part 1, and also by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, who included it on their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin.
@madguitarist8042 No, most of their hits weren't covers because they changed lyrics and chords on songs that others claimed they composed.. That was commonplace among all musicians then and even now. You're the one who doesn't know anything about Zeppelin Jack

@brofranomo Taking a song that another musician wrote for you and taking one from a musician thats already published it is way different man.

@brofranomo Most musicians careers aren't built around slightly altered songs. Don't get me wrong, I love Zeppelin. I'm just being honest.
