Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin's lead guitarist) played for the Yardbirds at one point. But the band members started dropping out like flies, so Jimmy Page took it upon himself to recruit some members to keep going as the New Yardbirds. So Page phones up one vocalist who declines but suggests Robert Plant. Robert Plant jumps on as the vocalist and suggests John Bonham for a drummer. Then John Paul Jones calls up and says hey and they let him in on the action too. So the last member of the old "Yardbirds" drops out and the to-be Led Zeppelin cast is now in the New Yardbirds. Now they start playing and jaws drop, Jimmy Page thinks back to when he talks about how cool it would be to be in a supergroup with some of the members of The Who. The bassist, Entwhistle, supposedly told Keith Moon that this would work about as well as a metal balloon, or a lead zeppelin. So they change the spelling to "Led" and become "Led Zeppelin." And the rest is history.
