The Great Robert Plant's lyrics often had references to things like the vikings, fantasy type stuff (such as The Lord of the Rings) and due primarily perhaps to the fact that they always covered old blues songs, messed up relationships.

Ernie Ball Regulars
I asked http://www.JimmyPage.co.uk and they said ernie balls, he usually used .009 - .042 strings
This is incorrect. Page used Ernie Ball Super Slinky 008's for the majority of his live, and studio performances.
Even that is incorrect. He used Ernie Ball Super Slinky 009 - 042 (pink pack) for his electric guitar. Just check the Ernie Ball website.
The truth is that Jimmy Page has said that he used 008's, as well as 009's. It really depended on the time period.

Great story; Keith Moon joked that they would go down like a lead zeppelin because they were so heavy, and then Peter Grant persuaded them to change it to 'led' because he thought that many people (he said Americans, but I can imagine a lot of other people would to) would pronounce it 'leed zeppelin.'
Jimmy was not married to Charlotte Martin. I met Jimmy and his assistant 4 March 1981, and spent several hours with them. Also met Scarlett when she was only 9 years old and to this day are friends with 'then' neighbors of Jimmy's. He no longer owns the home where we met so may years ago. Some other history I learned that night from Rick (his long-time assistant and driver) that I've never seen written about was that Charlotte had apparently been girlfriend to Eric Clapton prior to Jimmy.

What is the origin of the name led zeppelin?
Page, Plant, Bonham and Jones played their first live show together on September 7, 1968, in Copenhagen. For this tour they were billed as "The Yardbirds, Featuring Jimmy Page." They were fulfilling a Yardbirds commitment that was still on the books from when the last incarnation of that band disbanded. The band goes on to record the first album in the studio and the plan was still to call the band "The New Yardbirds". As a contract was being signed with Atlantic Records and on the eve of their first gig following the album sessions, they received a cease and desist order from Chris Dreja's (founder of the original Yardbirds)attorney. So then recalling the famous Keith Moon joke, the name was changed to Led Zeppelin. **Fun Fact** The misspelling of lead to Led was to avoid any confusion over pronunciation. This whole answer was paraphrased from an interview with Jimmy Page from Guitar World Magazine/ March 2009.

Who is better Jimmy Page or Richie Sambora?
ritchie blackmore is by far the better, makes better sounds and has carried on making new great music. page hasnt
ANSWERRitchie is one of the finest guitarists around. He can play many styles on many different stringed instruments. He works at his craft endlessly and it shows. He can play fast and loud better than many out there but he can also play soft and contemplatively and bring you to tears with his melodies. Ritchie Blackmore is a guitarist, not a guitar player. He's a musician, not a person who playes music. There is a world of difference between the two.The reason you don't see his name in lights or have the same recognition as Page is because he doesn't play the 'kiss up' game with people in the industry. He does what he wants to musically, and does it exceptionally well.
AnswerRitchie by far. He's a far superior guitarist, he writes deceptively simple riffs that no-one else would have had the audacity to do, he doesn't need loads of studio layering to make himself sound good and he sounds great live.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."
