bouche Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Have a listen and see for yourselfI didn't know the history of this song but TMZ is pushing it as a rip-off. Seems to me that it was acknowledged to be a reworking of the song but Jake Holmes never saw a dime. Why wait until 2010 for a lawsuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I always knew Led Zeppelin used old blues songs in their songs. I remeber picking up on that when I was discovering Robert Johnson. I never really paid attention to songwriting credits. There's probably enough money there in lawsuits to set Europe's econmy back up on its feet.

Rob Not Bob Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Errrr, this is news? Listen to Taurus by Spirit and tell me it's not the intro to Stairway To Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taurus is in part III of that series I posted and I'm shocked. Did anyone think of While My Guitar Gently Weeps with the same descending notes?
