Fame Adlabs Couple Seats
presented elements of a broad spectrum of influences, including blues, rock and roll, soul, Celtic music, Indian music, Arabic, folk, and even the country.
Over thirty years after the breakup of the band in 1980, the music of Led Zeppelin continues to sell, enjoys wide radio broadcasting, and has proven to be one of the most influential bands rock music. To date, has sold over 300 million albums worldwide, including 111 million in the United States and is the second band over diamond disks (awarded ten million U.S. sales) in the history of music, just below the Beatles. Discs with this certification are: Led Zeppelin IV (23 million), Physical Graffiti (15 million), Led Zeppelin II (12 million), Houses of the Holy (11 million) and Box Set (10 million).
History
Band Formation and early work (1968-1969)
Led Zeppelin formed in late 1968 when Jimmy Page, who already had a reputation in England for his work as musician and as the last guitarist for the band The Yardbirds, seeking new musicians for his new project, The New Yardbirds (name that caused certain legal problems), formed from the dissolution of The Yardbirds. The name of the band grew out of a joke by Keith Moon, drummer of The Who (in a recording session on a topic of Jeff Beck in participating Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Entwistle and Keith Moon himself) when he said that the band would fail and fall "like a Lead Zeppelin" The name came originally as a Lead Zeppelin, but on the recommendation of Peter Grant, manager of the band, was deleted to Lead (lead, in English) to avoid problems of pronunciation by American speakers as ea vowels are pronounced as an i North American English. However, the bassist for The Who, John Entwistle, has its own version of events: "Four years ago I started getting fed up with the Who, so I talked to a guy who is now production manager of Led Zeppelin. I talking to him at a club in New York, and I said "Yes, I'm thinking of leaving the group to form mine. I'll call "Led Zeppelin." And I album cover Put the Hindenburg in flames, you know, this whole thing ... "And about two months later, began working with Jimmy Page, as they were looking for a name, he suggested 'Led Zeppelin' to like it and left Page with the same album cover that I had planned. " The production manager referred Entwistle could be Richard Cole, future "road manager" of the band.
The Yardbirds broke up in 1968, and Page and bassist of the band, Chris Dreja, began to seek members for a new formation. The first candidate for the post of lead singer was Terry Reid, who declined to be part of the band, but recommended a friend named Robert Plant.as August 1968 Page, Dreja, and Peter Grant travel to Birmingham to see Plant's band, Hobbstweedle. Plant Page accepted the offer to join the band in a meeting at the home page. Plant had a friend who played drums, John Bonham, who would also join the group. Shortly after the arrival of Bonham, Dreja dropped out of music to become a photographer, so that the three band members are forced to find a new bassist. John Paul Jones, a friend of Page and known session musician, he heard the news and proposed to his friend his entry into the formation, leaving the band closed. The first thing they did was test a normal 12-bar blues. At that point she was the "chemistry" had between four members. His first task was to finish a pending tour in Scandinavia under the name The New Yardbirds, which touched many of the issues that are part of their debut album.
After the tour, and already under the name "Led Zeppelin, Peter Grant, manager of the band, the band gave $ 200,000 in exchange for their first album produced. This sum of money came from Atlantic Records, which was interested in signing the largest possible number of groups that arose during the time covered under the style blues and hard rock, Led Zeppelin something that met to perfection, so it hired Atlantic the film without even seeing them, only under the recommendation of Dusty Springfield.
Their first album was released on January 12, 1969, under the name of Led Zeppelin. It was recorded in just one week (recorded, mixed and edited) at Olympic Studios in London in October 1968, employing just 30 hours of study and hardly hours ensayo.Al principle, the British public did not respond very enthusiastically to the launch of album, produced by Page, which would become a constant throughout the band's history, a fact which prompted the band is not easy public in England. After embarking on their first American tour and thanks to the explosive performances of the band, the album was a huge success in critical and public, especially in the United States. The press described the album as heavy metal, something that the band did not agree. Robert Plant said that "it is unfair to describe the band as heavy metal, since a third of our music is acoustic." Shortly after the release of this debut album, the band decided not to publish any single in England, undermining the promotion of the album and later works.
As a curiosity it is noteworthy that, during the tour supporting the album Led Zeppelin I in Denmark, the group operated under the name The Nobs by banning the Baroness Eva von Zeppelin (airship inventor's family) to use your real name who argued that they were "screaming monkey" and railed against the album cover, photo courtesy of ex-bass player, Chris Dreja. In addition, the Singapore authorities prevented the band to enter the country for a concert because they had too much hair.
During 1969, the band managed to finish the European and North American tour during the same recording their second album, was released on 22 October that year under the name of Led Zeppelin II. This album definitely consecrated them, reaching # 1 in the British and American (toppling the Beatles' Abbey Road) and staying there for seven weeks, probably thanks to the success of songs like "Whole Lotta Love" and "Heartbreaker."
To support the album, the band took a few more U.S. tour ever larger audiences due to the increased popularity that led to the publication of the group's second album, extending the dates for more than three hours.
Led Zeppelin III and untitled album (1970-1972) Runes
displayed on the cover of Led Zeppelin IV and correspond to the four band members, from left to right: Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham and Robert Plant. [12] For the composition of Led Zeppelin's third album, the members training retired to Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote cottage in Wales, in 1970, where he recorded the material developed here.
On October 5, 1970 he published his third album, Led Zeppelin III, after which some critics accused the group of being a commercial setting, because of the intimate and acoustic songs on this album, despite not be very well received by both critics and fans, containing compositions that eventually became classics, like "Immigrant Song", the first single from the band's career despite his denials to be published, or Since I've Been Loving You. " The whole band and especially Jimmy Page was taken these criticisms personally, causing her fourth album, in its original edition, had no title or anything that would identify you, except for four strange symbols, or rune () one for each band member. This album, commonly recognized as Untitled and foremost as Led Zeppelin IV by inertia, published on November 8, 1971, was the LP's best-selling band (currently at location # 4 best selling album in history as the RIAA), which highlights their biggest hit, "Stairway to Heaven" as well as the band's classic "Black Dog, Rock and Roll", "Going to California" and "When The Levee Breaks ", which features an imposing and heavy thundering sound of drums of John Bonham. The guitar solo in Stairway To Heaven was voted by readers of Guitar World Magazine as" the best single of all time " .
The album was accompanied by a slight makeover in the group, who began to wear colorful clothes and extravagant necklaces and jewelry in the style of the great stars of the time. It is also during this period that popularized the excesses Led Zeppelin, and they began to travel on a private jet (called "The Starship") renting entire floors of hotels in their rooms while on tour.
Until July 2006, the fourth Led Zeppelin has sold 23 million copies in the U.S., becoming the fourth biggest selling album in history.
Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti Swan Song (1973-1975) 1970.Su
next Led Zeppelin album, Houses of the Holy, published on March 28, 1973, was a new idea in the group, blending diverse musical styles, blues, rock, folk, reggae and even shades. As always, the album caused controversy among critics, despite having excellent sales. The song "Houses of the Holy" was originally recorded for inclusion in its eponymous album, but finally appears in the following
work
The album cover also had a discussion, because it shows several naked children climbing a kind of hard paved, so it was banned in some countries, including Spain.
The tour for this album was massive, resulting in a concert in Florida the figure of 56,800 spectators, surpassing the previous record held by The Beatles, entering the day $ 309,000.
To feel more comfortable in the recording of their albums, Led Zeppelin in 1974 created his own record label, Swan Song, but still depending on his label Atlantic Records. The name of The company is one of the few new songs the group. Since then, the band made all recordings under this label. The logo of the company, which plays the Greek god Apollo, became the symbol of Led Zeppelin, including many items of merchandise from the band since then. This company was profitable during the life of Led Zeppelin, but three years after the breakup of the band, the label had to close.
Between 1973 and 1974 the band took a break from his hectic recording and spectacular combination of touring, engaging in collaborations, composing songs and not so many other issues related to music. On February 24, 1975 Physical Graffiti was released, the first work conceived from Swan Song. It was a double album which also contain new parts as "Kashmir", which Robert Plant said it was the final song of Led Zeppelin, including out-takes from previous albums. This album is considered one of the best in the band, probably because the number and diversity of topics. 1975 was the crowning of Led Zeppelin as one of the best rock bands in history, both by critics and live performances of this year, which were grandstanding and multitudinous. However, the accelerated pace of work of Led Zeppelin was interrupted when in the summer of that year, Robert Plant had a serious car accident on the Greek island of Rhodes, leaving his wife Maureen on the verge of death. The accident was followed by a long and difficult recovery that lasted about a year until the end of 1976.
Presence and In Through the Out Door (1976-1979)
Led Zeppelin in Chicago, 1975.Fue in this year that was prepared to speed the band's next album, Presence, published 31 March 1976 and recorded between the German city of Munich and Malibu, California, characterized by not having any acoustic song and not make use of any keyboard. Is an album marked by the state recovering from Robert Plant, who recorded his vocal takes sitting in a wheelchair or on crutches. The album was received with a diversity of views and public criticism because they are more gentle and slow. Jimmy Page always said this is his favorite album, and the issue that started the album, "Achilles Last Stand", his favorite topic with more than 10 minutes.
then released their first live album, The Song Remains The Same, soundtrack to the movie of the same name, which shows a performance of 1973 in New York who completed a U.S. tour, mixed with fantasy scenes devised by own band. No But the album stalled in the UK negatively due to the strong rise of new British punk bands, considering the band as "obsolete."
After returning to the stage in 1977, the new Robert Plant again be affected by misfortune, this time by the death of his son Karac Pendra six years because of a stomach infection. This marked deeply Plant led to consider the continuity within the band. However, Robert reconsidered and in 1978 the band returned to the studio, specifically to the group ABBA in Stockholm to record what would unexpectedly his last studio album, In Through the Out Door released on August 15, 1979. Unfortunately, again find trouble finishing the album and at that time, Jimmy Page and John Bonham were in a state of addiction to heroin and alcohol, respectively, a fact that makes In Through the Out Door Album Only Led Zeppelin containing the first and only tracks from the band in which Page does not appear as an author.
tour in 1979 he first saw some Zepp not so focused on improvisation (it was a very characteristic trait of empathy as a live band), and more focused on the songs themselves. However, an audience of about 120,000 people supported the band at a concert in Copenhagen. The band had reached a state of maturity, both personally composition as paragraph and having most of its excesses and replacing them with professionalism. At that time were the only bands able to fill a stadium in front of the commercial failure of punk rock bands that emerged then. During this time, Robert Plant had been thinking of leaving the band due to fatigue caused by the turn of 1979, although Peter Grant managed to convince him to continue. This tour was extended until 1980, when Bonham was admitted to a hospital in Nuremberg, Germany, due to indigestion, but the press speculated drugs and alcohol as possible causes. The band The tour ended in Berlin on July 7 that year.
Dissolution of the band and Coda (1980-1982)
With the arrival of 1980 Led Zeppelin returned to the big European tour, announcing a major new North American tour this year, which could never be done because that September 25th was the most tragic dates in the history of the group: John Bonham died in Boleskine House, the mansion of Page, suffocated by accidental aspiration of his own vomit caused by excessive alcohol consumption. No drugs were found in the body of the drummer, as had been speculated.
continuing
The idea never crossed the mind of the other members of the band despite the rumors of the addition of new drummer. Developed an official statement explaining that nothing was the same without Bonham, and it was useless to continue without him.
Having signed a contract that forced them to release a new album, and the refusal to record new songs without Bonham, it was decided to seek previously unpublished material that formed the LP Coda (1982), an album that has songs that discarded at the completion of previous albums and some live takes of songs already recorded.
In the following years the members of Zeppelin maintained their decision not to meet. Only sporadic Sometimes they were seen together on stage. Page and Plant recently decided to meet to do something together, recording a whole album a few years after the breakup of the band.
After separation
Plant in 1982 released a solo album called Pictures at Eleven, with a style similar to Led Zeppelin. Then in 1983 came the album The Principle of Moments, where Genesis influences are felt, especially considering that the band's drummer, Phil Collins, was the one who recorded the drum parts on the disc.
Page's first appearance came after Zeppelin in 1982 when he composed some songs for the movie Death Wish II (starring Charles Bronson) and edited its corresponding soundtrack. At the same time, was responsible for editing the Coda disc with unreleased tracks and discards of Led Zeppelin. In 1983 he joined Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, his ex-colleagues in The Yardbirds, to give a series of concerts that have been released many albums.
John Paul Jones, meanwhile, wrote the soundtrack for the movie Scream For Help (1984), the same director of Death Wish II, he worked with Diamanda Galas and performed occasional artistic productions before taking his current instrumental solo albums. Today is a known producer and arranger for rock music, which in 2009 formed the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures with guitarist Josh Homme and drummer Dave Grohl.
In 1984, Page and Plant again come together and formed The Honeydrippers with the likes of Jeff Beck and Paul Shaffer. His album was called The Honeydrippers Volume 1 and his song "Sea of \u200b\u200bLove" climbed to third in the American lists, better even than his famous song "Whole Lotta Love." Toured, where they played in the Saturday Night Live, and after that Page decided to take another direction, so the band dissolved.
occasion of the Live Aid benefit concert, Page, Plant and Jones were to meet in 1985 to play live the songs "Rock and Roll", "Whole Lotta Love" and "Stairway to Heaven" at the stadium John F. Kennedy of Philadelphia. On drums were Phil Collins and Tony Thompson.
In 1988, to mark the 25th anniversary of Atlantic Records, the group returns to join in a memorial concert, taking the place of his son Jason Bonham John.
Page formed The Firm with Paul Rodgers and Chris Slade, and later released some solo albums and Outrider (1988), which collaborated Plant and Jason. In 1993 he recorded an album with the singer of Whitesnake and Deep Purple, David Coverdale. Called Coverdale / Page, although initially was to be called Legends (captions). For its part, Plant has released a solo album with contributions from Page. In 1994 Page and Plant recorded the Unledded special for MTV (although without Jones) and was followed by discs and No Quarter Walking into Clarksdale.

In 2005, Led Zeppelin received a Grammy Award as a reward for his career, coming a year after Hall of Fame of the United Kingdom.
On December 10, 2007 took place at the O2 Arena in London a single concert by the band to replace Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, on drums.

In 2010 came a hitherto hidden recording of a concert the band gave in 1971 at St. Matthew's Baths Hall in the English town of Ipswich. This relic was acquired by a collector in an antique shop.
Features
Led Zeppelin songs with references to Tolkien's work
One of the lyrical obsessions of Led Zeppelin, especially Robert Plant, is the work of JRR Tolkien . Thus we can find several references to the novels of British writer on songs like "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp ',' Ramble On "or" The Battle of Evermore, "and the title of the song" Misty Mountain Hop. "
There are also references to Norse mythology, such as in the song "Immigrant Song" which mentions "We come from the land of the ice and snow" may refer to Asgard, and also where the name "Hammer of the Gods 'and may refer to the Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, and where claims "Valhalla I am coming" where Valhalla is heaven to which the heroes go, to die in combat. It seems that the inspiration for this song is to be found in a group trip to Iceland in 1970.
The album cover
The art of the album cover was for other disconcerting and original. The photo on the cover of the band's debut album was taken by Chris Dreja, former member of The Yardbirds who began his career as a photographer after he retired from music. This brought the controversial cover of the hand of the Baroness Von Zeppelin, who opposed the band acted under the name of Led Zeppelin in Denmark because of the cover of their first album, which shows a burning zeppelin.
On the cover of Led Zeppelin II, designed by Davod Juniper, is a photo of the band along with other unknown people, who have no reference to them throughout the disc booklet. This picture is based on a snapshot of the Jasta Division of the Luftwaffe (Bundeswehr), German air force, with the faces of the occupants of that picture changed in favor of the faces of band members, manager Peter Grant, Richard Cole, Blind Willie Johnson (jazz musician) and Glynis Johns, who acts as mother in the film Mary Poppins. The latter seems to have been included as a joke to the producer group of his old album, Glyns Johns. The zeppelin white shadow under brown background, which also appears on the cover of the album, he had the nickname of record was The Brown Bomber. As a final curiosity, it noted that the first editions of the album had a phrase on the bottom of that page, "The only way to fly" (the only way to fly), which explains that these issues are paying the price of gold.
's fourth album had no title, not even the name of the group, so much so that today it is called in many ways (Led Zeppelin IV, Zoso, Four Symbols, "the of the runes", etc.) But no an official. Obviously, the trick did not represent an obstacle to sales, which now exceed 40 million copies worldwide. The band explained that the decision not to write his name or the album was selling the music alone, without knowing which was the author, responding well to negative criticism to its predecessor, Led Zeppelin III.
The building on the cover of Physical Graffiti is the number 97, St. Mark Street, New York. Incidentally, in the basement of the building was a clothing store called Physical Graffiti, although it is unclear whether it was founded before or after the release of disco.El man sitting on the stairs of the building holds two black pups, perhaps reference to the song Black Dog, Led Zeppelin IV.
Presence in every picture has its vinyl release a black object that the photographer and creator of the idea, Storm Thorgerson, summarized: "I like pictures that are not [...] I remember a clear explanation that the idea was to mix Presence nostalgic photos of the 30 and 40 with a view of the future, which was basically a black hole with an odd way. For me, it represented the power of Led Zeppelin, the people at home or at school, need a dose every few hours, as the last drug. So the design was related to the band and yet so very slight, just as rewarding as the music is it makes you form your own images. This idea was echoed by Jimmy Page on his album in collaboration with David Coverdale by placing a traffic signal that has nothing to do with the rest of all the photos.
Social life
Another feature was that it did not get along with the press, often considering conservative tabloid and is for this reason that the interviews with Led Zeppelin in its golden age were scarce. In addition, the band rarely drew any single one of their albums, the first song credited as such Immigrant Song, Led Zeppelin III, nor gave many shows on television, arguing that it was best that the public saw them in Direct, whose concerts usually last about three hours.
Aleister Crowley, occultist supposedly idolized by Page, who bought his mansion for the summer.
Led Zeppelin and the occult
Many of the myths of the band that held until now are the rumors about the band practiced black magic and that the issues "Dazed & Confused" "Whole Lotta Love ',' The Battle of Evermore" "Stairway to Heaven", "Four Sticks", "No Quarter" and "Kashmir" satanic messages appeared since then hallucinogens and psychedelic movements were quite innovative.
most famous controversy is related to "Stairway to Heaven", as they have been quite a few people who claim to have seen satanic messages ("Here's to my sweet satan" / "Here's my sweet Satan") playing the song backwards, which has always been denied by the band. Another song suspected to contain satanic messages character is "Dazed and Confused."
Another clue might be obtained subliminal message back to the band name, because if we modify it a bit we can get Zeppelion Eddo. Eddo Zeppelion is a ritual practiced by Aleister Crowley and very popular in black magic. Page was always interested in life and work of this unusual character, coming to buy the mansion for this summer, Curiously, in which Bonham died. It should also be noted that at the end of the album Led Zeppelin III can be heard a famous quote from Crowley, who says: "Do what thou wilt shall be all thy law."
Led Zeppelin and plagiarism
Numerous allegations of plagiarism have arisen throughout the career of the band. John Mendelsohn, a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine, the band accused of having copied the riff from the song "Your Time Is Gonna Come" from the song "Dear Mr. Fantasy" of the group Traffic. The same journalist also pointed out the similarity between the song "Black Mountain Side" and "Black Water Side" from Bert Jansch. The two allegedly plagiarized songs were included in the band's debut album. These accusations were that led to the poor relationship between Led Zeppelin with the press, especially Rolling Stone.
"Dazed and Confused" is a version far removed from the original song by Jake Holmes. Initially, The Yardbirds, with Page in the lead, they adapted a song called "I'm Confused 'but when he formed Led Zeppelin, Page reworked the song to edit the group's initial album. However, Holmes never received any monetary contribution by the band despite a letter of request of the legal side. Despite this, Holmes never filed any lawsuit the band for it.
In 1970, Arc Music magazine sued the band for having copied the song "Bring It on Home", original version of Sonny Boy Williamson, the theme of "Bring It On Back" by Willie Dixon. The demand was accepted and the publication received a sum of money that ultimately was not reported to Dixon. Dixon returned to sue the band itself due to the comparisons of the song "Whole Lotta Love" with her song "You Need Love / Woman You Need Love ', with which the band credited to Dixon as a composer of the song in recent editions of Led Zeppelin II.
"The Lemon Song" song appears on the album Led Zeppelin II, led to a lawsuit by Howlin 'Wolf, who argued that Led Zeppelin had copied his theme song "Killing Floor" (also in the early editions of Led Zeppelin II, the song bore that name.)
"Stairway to Heaven" has a rhythmic progression much like the original instrumental song "Taurus" Spirit group, band for which Led Zeppelin had been headlined in 1968.
"Nobody's Fault But Mine," which appears on the album Presence, is an original song by Blind Willie Johnson, but the band took their licenses when claiming authorship. Robert Plant said comments: "First, the public domain because it has been dead a long time. And secondly, is not your song, nobody knows where."
style and influence on later bands
The Yardbirds in 2006, Jimmy Page's previous band that helped shape the style of Led Zeppelin.
Style Led Zeppelin was one of the most influential formations in the development of hard rock, in turn laying the foundation for what became known as heavy metal along with bands like Black Sabbath or Deep Purple 1970.Esto during the last decade since the publication came the band's debut album, Led Zeppelin I, in 1969, which included a much more hard and robust than that of many bands of the time without leaving the blues-oriented sound in an earlier group of Jimmy Page, The Yardbirds, which exploded over this trend. Throughout his discography can also be seen traces of psychedelic music legacy of musicians like Jimi Hendrix. The sound present in the next job training, Led Zeppelin II, continues with the sound of its predecessor mixing blues, hard rock and psychedelia in equal parts. The first change of course in the discography of the band takes on Led Zeppelin III, in which the acoustic style and folk prevails throughout much of the songs included in the work, although still on the hard rock present in the two previous albums the group. However, the most important job in the band's career is for many Led Zeppelin IV. This observation is supported by the number of album sales to date the most successful of Led Zeppelin in this field, thanks largely to the inclusion of Stairway to Heaven, the most famous song of the band. The album is considered instrumental in the subsequent evolution of rock. After the publication of the fourth working group, they edit Houses of the Holy, which merges hard rock and blues with elements taken reggae or funk. Return back to its roots, the band released Physical Graffiti under the constant stylistic debut work, and Presence and In Through the Out Door.
Influences
The importance of Led Zeppelin is evident in the large number of bands influenced by them are considered. These include Wolfmother, Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, Blind Melon, The White Stripes, or Living Colour Kingdom Come and sit on the part of the style that cements the legacy of the hard rock grunge the 1990's. Such has been the influence of the band in rock history have been different formations created in tribute to Led Zeppelin, among which should be noted Dread Zeppelin, Get the Led Out or Lez Zeppelin, composed entirely of women. Led Zeppelin is also considered as the band that paved the way for the later seventies heavy metal bands as Deep Purple or Black Sabbath.
In 1995, he decided to record a Led Zeppelin tribute album entitled Encomium, which includes versions by other artists of the British quartet's original songs. Those artists include Stone Temple Pilots, Blind Melon, Sheryl Crow or Duran Duran.
