Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin never appeared on Top of the Pops, even though "Whole Lotta Love" was used as the theme song for many years. The simple reason for this was that their astute manager Peter Grant took the decision that, as a serious rock band, they should not deign to release any singles (very much a "pop" format) in the UK, only albums, so they never featured in the UK hit parade during their heyday. The decision seemed to do their career no harm.

Yes James Patrick Page does have Irish ancestry through his mother Patricia Gaffikin.

It was a black 1959 Danelectro 3021 or better knows as the 59 DC.

I Would Assume That Robert Plant Sold More Albums Than David Lee Roth.

A Zeppelin, or rigid airship works by using a large volume of gas that is lighter than air to help lift it off the ground. Just like a helium party balloon, Zeppelins were filled with hydrogen or helium and this would compensate for almost all of their weight. Zeppelins could lift many tons at a time when airplanes could barely lift themselves. Zeppelins formed the first airline (DELAG) in Germany and transported thousands of people.

Zeppelins were different than blimps. They had rigid metal or wood frames inside that allowed large engines and passenger compartments to be outfitted. They didn't just have a tiny gondola underneath,m but had a great deal of living space inside the actual cigar shape.

Zeppelins worked very well, and were considered very reliable. The problem was that the best airships (Zeppelins) were made in pre-WW2 Germany. They were filled with hydrogen, which is very flammable. Germany wanted to use helium (non-flammable), but the USA has a virtual monopoly on Helium production at that time, and it was considered a precious commodity that might be misused by Hitler in the event of a war. The eruption of the Hindenburg in Lakehurst New Jersey spelled the end for Zeppelins. People thought they were dangerous. In reality, had helium been used instead of hydrogen, we might still be using them today.

I looove Led Zeppelin. :)

I don't think they were metal; to me they sound more like heavy blues rock. But aside from that, Black Sabbath formed earlier, and in contrast, were and are definitely metal. In fact, Judas Priest (whom no-one bar Gerard Way will say are not a metal band) formed the same year as Zeppelin.

Percy Plant has sold 26 albums as a solo act. In Led Zep he was part of shipping 300 million plus recird and over 30 million vhs and dvd and blueray.

Friends - Led Zeppelin song - was created in 1970.

If you want the present tense (which means right now) it is the student leads the class.If you want the past tense (which means a long time ago) it is the student led the class.

yes he did use drugs when he was younger. he did l.s.d, cocaine, heroin,and other drugs according to some interviews. Robert did stop using drugs in the late 80's and he is suppose to be drug free now.

The last Led Zeppelin concert in the USA with the four original members of the group was the Oakland Coliseum, California on the 24th July 1977.

They have won four Grammy awards.

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.

One of the most popular songs that the Yard Birds sung was titled "You're A Better Man Than I". Also, the Yard Birds were known for their two other hits titled "Little Games" and " I Ain't Got You".

No, he is not. He is quite lively, really.

Deep Purple. Just like them only Purple's got an organ.

Jimmy Page (Guitar) is 65

Robert Plant (Vocals) is 61

John Paul Jones (Bass/Keyboard) is 63

John Bonham (Drummer) died in 1980

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".

120 million in the USA alone

The lead guitarist of Led Zeppelin is Jimmy Page.

It was in the 1970s . and was the most requested song in the 1970s and erly 80s

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.
