When Jimmy Page was assembling the group, Keith Moon (drummer from The Who) got word of his plans and predicted the group would go down "like a lead balloon" (this is a common English expression). Bassist and keyboardist John Entwistle thought it would be "more like a lead zeppelin." Page took the phrase and decided to change the phrase because he said "those damned Americans will pronounce it lead (leed) zeppelin."

What was the impact the Zeppelin airship had?

The Zeppelin airship revolutionized air travel in the early 20th century by offering a new mode of transportation that was faster and more luxurious than trains or ships. It facilitated long-distance travel and played a significant role in both passenger transport and military reconnaissance during World War I. However, its reputation suffered due to high-profile disasters, such as the Hindenburg tragedy in 1937, which raised safety concerns and ultimately led to a decline in airship popularity. Despite this, Zeppelins influenced the development of lighter-than-air craft and contributed to advancements in aviation technology.
