  • @Gettheledoutstyle Hmm.. point taken, but you must admit, the two songs ARE very similar.. for what it's worth, I stress that I believe Page was merely influenced by Taurus, and not that he intentionally copied their work

  • @TheGreeneyedstone the only problem imop is they never reference this song when the biographies say he stole it just taurus so i think some biographies are flawed..

  • @Gettheledoutstyle It wasn't my intention to infer that Mr. Page ever admitted to having Spirit as an inspiration, only that he admits that Davy Graham;s Cry Me A River was. It is my own opinion that he was influenced by Spirit as I do know that Spirit was one of the bands that Zeppelin toured with early on and I am not alone in that suspicion. It is mentioned in many biographies about Mr. Page and Led Zeppelin and that is what i intended to point out. apologies for not being clear, ty for input

  • @TheGreeneyedstone which song are you saying page freely admits he got it from? ive read where he says he got it from davy graham but denies any influence from spirit who made taurus

  • This is a "steadfast" video. =p

  • @mrbarata this is covered earlier in comments, but Jimmy Page freely admits that this song is where he got the decending arpeggio from. it is also where Spirit got Taurus from and if you think this sounds like Stairway, listen to it. Jimmy Page and Zep toured w/ Taurus prior to the release of Stairway so... Few musicians are truly original, owing to no one...

  • This video went viral on Nairobi

  • love the ending

    

  • @mrbarata noticed that towards the end too!!

  • @mrbarata

    No.
