Is Led Zeppelin satanic?

Even though Jimmy Page owned Alister Crowley's mansion aka Boleskine House at one time, I'm pretty sure Led Zeppelin didn't really make a deal with devil. Crowley was an occultist, hedonist, used drugs was bisexual and a social critic (Born October 12, 1875 Died December 1, 1947). In other words pretty much like a Rock Star. That just adds to the mysticism. Then there is Zeppelin 4 aka Runes. To top it all off there is their sexual escapades and drug and alcohol abuse. They got so famous, so fast it had to be overwhelming. They could buy anything they wanted and had women throwing themselves at their feet. I was rather disappointed many years after the songs were coming out on the radio to find out that so much of their music was actually plagiarized. They added a new spin to it but nonetheless alot of their music was old blues, revamped. It kind of took the mysticism right out of it. They are now in their 60's, and are ageing just as badly as anyone else. That and the tragedies of Bonham's death, Plant's son's death and Plant being in a bad car accident leads me to believe that if they made that alleged "deal" with the devil, they received the worst end of it. Zeppelin is still one of the greatest bands ever and there is no denying their success decades after the band broke up.

Led Zeppelin was formed in 1968 after the Yardbirds disbanded. Jimmy Page had the right to the name "The Yardbirds" but all the original members...

The first song they played together was "Train-Kept a Rollin'" and they played their first show as Led Zeppelin at the Marquee in 1968 shortly after their first blues based album "Led Zeppelin " would come out and outsell former Yardbird Jeff Beck's album Truth.

James(Jimmy) Patrick Page is an English guitarist, and songwriter.

He was interested in occult studies especially with Aleister Crowley's work.

Though Crowley was accused of being "the beast" (by his overly religious mother) when he was an adolescent, he was never a "Satanist" and neither was Page.

However if you are inclined to believe that anything outside of church is Satanic, then in your eyes he was or is.

What kind of guitar picks does jimmy page use?

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.

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.
