Led Zeppelin isn't done yet, quite clearly, because every year since 1968 there's been new fans.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do know there's a lot of music where Led Zeppelin has been leant on. We didn't do anything about it. And I wouldn't want to, either.
Right from the first time we went to America in 1968, Led Zeppelin was a word-of-mouth thing. You can't really compare it to how it is today.
The Yardbirds folded in 1968, and within a handful of months, Led Zeppelin was not only a band but also a very successful one.
The next Led Zeppelin is playing somewhere, and they'll likely never make it because there's no infrastructure for it. They'll never get a chance.
Fifty years from now, people will still be listening to Led Zeppelin. They won't even remember me.
From the first album, Led Zeppelin was always going to be a totally new approach from what had gone before - whether it was approaching the blues or folk music like 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You': nothing existed like that.
I really don't listen to Led Zeppelin that much.
I realized what Led Zeppelin was about around the end of our first U.S. tour. We started off not even on the bill in Denver, and by the time we got to New York we were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn't want to go on!
I plead total ignorance to Led Zeppelin. I am totally in the dark about them.
Led Zeppelin was a band that would change things around substantially each time it played... We were becoming tighter and tighter, to the point of telepathy.
