How was led zeppelin named?

Asked by Wiki User

When forming Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page approached Keith Moon and John Entwistle and asked them to consider joining the new band he was making...Kieth said, "that would go over like a lead balloon", and John added,"more like a lead zeppelin!". Leshoc: In the time just before Tommy's release, John Entwistle and Keith Moon were planning on leaving The Who and forming a band of their own. When Tommy became a reality and the band's financial prospects were brighter, they abandoned those plans. It was about that time that Page was searching for a name to replace "The New Yardbirds". Keith and John told him of their then dormant project's name "Led Zeppelin".
It is believed that Keith Moon came up with the name. Jimmy Page once said that it described Led Zeppelin perfectly, both heavy and light, in a way.

How did led zeppelin shape music culture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Zeppelin boys came out of a late 1960's England, where American blues was a very popular form of music at the time. Their albums reflect this, especially Led Zepplein II (late 1969), as they succesfully created a fusion of blues and rock in their music throughout their 12-year existence, and ultimately influenced dozens of bands to come later. Indeed, many musicologists credit them with creating "heavy metal".

Who is a better The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on your definition of "better", honestly. Better songwriters? Better musicians? Sold more records? In my opinion they are very evenly matched, and in fact are two of my top three bands of all time (the third being Yes). I've always considered Led Zeppelin of a higher level of musicianship than Pink Floyd. David Gilmour's guitar work is incredible in the meticulous nature it's planned out and executed, but Jimmy Page has more raw talent and can excel not only in planning out his guitar output (see the song "Achilles' Last Stand"), but also improvisation (see the numerous live versions of "Heartbreaker"). John Paul Jones is a better bassist than Roger Waters - and plays keybaords as well as Richard Wright! Comparing drummers I actually give the slight edge to Floyd's Nick Mason, as he has a much better sense of time than the late John Bonham, which IMO trumps Bonham's raw talent. And as far as vocals go, Robert Plant sings circles around every Floyd member.

While Zep may win the musicianship battle, I believe that Pink Floyd wins the songwriting battle. Led Zeppelin never had a lyricist like Roger Waters, who could tell a story over an 80-minute double album just as well as he could a four-minute single. Coupled with Gilmour's sense of melody, they formed an incredible songwriting tandem. As far as total output, they're dead even. Floyd's best albums outshined Led Zeppelin's highest output, but unlike Floyd (who put out trach like A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Final Cut) Zeppelin never put out a bad album. And the albums themselves had very few weak spots. The three-album stretch from III to Houses of the Holy was especially solid.

So to sum up, I guess it's a bit of a cop-out, but to me they are equally good, all things considered.

What guitar amp did jimmy page use?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He used Supro, Marshall, Hiwatts, and Vox amps. Supro 1640T modified for a single 12" speaker for all of ZEP 1. Marshall's live and on the rest of the Zep albums. Vox's were used for the Yardbirds recordings for a while. Hiwatt's were used for live from '68-'71 and in the studio a lot. Not forgetting the custom built Orange- Matamp amp, made by the late but great Mat Mathias, founder of Matamp and now owned and run by Jef Lewis.

Plaaaay backwards,

Hear why its sung here, oppositioner..

Allll on track, all arriving

They all sing, and they are one.

Shall I loathe you now, parishoner?

Oh hear Him, Christian within me.

It stirs my sin; the river,

Oh, she swells with our lousiness.

All my life will end for him?

We're all out of signs,

I know I'm sorta shocked

To hear The Lord,

My God now will save me!

Oh I will n'er be saved,

Because I live with Satan..

One wish today;

That you'll all pray for

Three who will make it here late.

Pray now and you'll see..

The 'Lord' turned me on,

But, oh, I was the shaggy fool..

Clothed in agony,

Lost at a height.

There's no escaping it,

Nor his woes..

So here's to my Sweet Satan.

The other's little path

Would make me sad,

Whose power is faith.

He'll give those with him 666.

And all the evil fools,

they know he made

us suffer sadly.

Ohohohoh...

"Family won't get loose,

They're offered me."

Always soothes the worker.

Always will be as we know now

"I see ruins," said he,

"the world they offered me?

Who wished the Lord's fall?"

If we lose feather,

Say you'll save me!

And no wimps can bend the rules..

And no wimps can do..

Hunt next to the shore,

'Cause they see all from there,

See here's the news,

Who walks with mute grief!

Perhaps no-one found thee...

"Heavy, lift me out,"

Spake the Reve,

"Someday, failed, we'll lose one line-up,

They've gotta leave forsaken."

And no wimps can do..

And no wimps can do...

He, who say the lords

Thoth have our laws,

Maat must be superb. Mass is ended..

Over there,

He who should learn thee.

Any moot that serves by my sworn music,

I wish it with snow be shushed,

All for my mass's sake.

Hear why its sung,

here, oppositioner, Ohh..

He who should show

May make his show worthy,

To look, for us, odd.. sickly,

There's one chance - take his show.

Hold thy head,

Hear why its sung here. oppositioner.
