Jimmy Page revels in new Led Zeppelin re-masters

[FBD]

Yes, read the article, Porky. "Centuries old"... therefore, not his. Don't get me wrong, I love Leadbelly. But no one cares who recorded it first. It doesn't matter. Being first doesn't imply ownership.

right, its not like we're talking about huey lewis saying WTF when he heard the ghostbusters theme

Wachho talkin bout willis

Nobody kicks it like Led Zep.. But god damn what a disappointment to realize how much shit they ripped off.. Not a whole lot better than the rappers, other than rockers usually play an actual instrument.

wasnt it already established that neither of these performing entities wrote this song? if that is the case, how is anything about it ripped off at all?

I mean, would I be ripping off anthrax is I covered Got the Time and played the bass solo the way frankie played it? I mean that's literally what you guys appear to be bitching about

I'm not sure htf I missed you posting both those vids

It's not just this one song. It's about 10 of their biggest hits.. I use the word "their" very loosely.

stairway? where's your bar for this sort of thing? If you think that stairway sounds like Taurus, then you must agree on the Aussie court's butchered ruling about Men at Work somehow "having lifted" the kookaburra song and gave the family a millions dollar judgement merely out of spite.

I dunno, the one piece I read, some angry mofo wrote it The guy tries to assert that Beck wrote all this or that....but then there's that context of a bunch of people jamming... one person comes up with a li l riff groove and an entire song will fly right out of that....

its one thing if its pretty blatant like with the ghostbusters song, but its a slippery slope going back he said whatever 50 years ago about a jam session or two.


fact of the matter is, all you touch and all you see - is all what's going to go into the music you write. sometimes something's *that* close you toss it, but very rarely, unless its goddam verbatim you usually just say fuckit, I dont care if it shares a couple root notes with some other song.


you cant take a small section of root note progression and cry plagiarism.

whether Jimmy is sloppy or not doesnt really enter into that although it does for some spite filled bastards it seems.

Are you saying Vanilla Ice didn't rip off Queen

[FBD]

that's a whole nother level of just reproducing a riff and using it in rap. I dont think that really applies because those guys just take samples of stuff.

thing is, there was not a lot of focus on this sort of thing back in those days...the sound compiled from the components was unique and it was good enough as far as a lot of people were concerned and having something with a similar root note progression isnt exactly a huge deal. (which is why the stairway one is BS.) adapting bits from old blues songs....cripes nobody else EVER did that

metal wouldnt exist today if none of that was done....blues formed the foundation of metal...

(really the only time that's happened with my bands is my buddy wrote a riff that sounded exactly like one of the riffs from DOOM...the original.....but the funny thing is he had never seen it or played it.)
