    Best Fucking News Ever!

    The feel good story of the year.

    Led Zeppelin's lead singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page must face a U.S. jury trial over whether they stole opening chords for their 1971 classic "Stairway to Heaven." In a decision on Friday, U.S. District Judge Gary Klausner in Los Angeles said "Stairway" and the 1967 instrumental "Taurus" by the band Spirit were similar enough to let a jury decide whether Plant and Page were liable for copyright infringement. The lawsuit was brought by Michael Skidmore, a trustee for the late Randy Wolfe, also known as Randy California, who was Spirit's guitarist and the composer of "Taurus." Skidmore said Page may have been inspired to write "Stairway" for Led Zeppelin after hearing Spirit perform "Taurus" while the bands toured together in 1968 and 1969, but that Wolfe never got credit.

        Well done slave SESH You are standing up to your master. All you need to do now is to severe the shackles that bind your deranged post of ignorance and fear of the plagiarist Page. You will be a free man in 10 or 20 years.

          About 45 seconds in the riff starts that sounds similiar to the main riff in Stairway.

              I kinda hear it but it doesn't sound to me like Zep ripped it off. I mean, it's substantially different. We ain't talkin Ray Parker rippin off Huey Lewis similar.

                  Yea, I don't see it either. The guy probably just got the copyrights to the wrong song.........

                      Not enough though. It doesn't resolve and there is no vocal melody in any case. This case has no merit and is plain silly. There are only 7 notes in any key, claiming copyright when 4 kind of follow each other is nonsense.

                      I think these cases usually have musicians in the jury, it's going to get thrown out. Weird that this comes up 45 years later when they undeniably ripped off so much other stuff...

                        Does Kristy ever admit when she was wrong? You will need that in relationships:




                        There are keyboards and drums and singers in this song...i think they ripped off Nebucanever.

                        Whatever. The leastest with the mostest. So many things to protest in this world and you choose Led Zeppelin. That makes you valuable how?

                          A lot of the stuff they "ripped off" was based on traditional music. The songs are usually creditted to the first person who recorded them not the actual writer or writers. Pages response to accusations of plagarizing those songs is usually he felt like they had changed them enough to earn songwriting credits for them.

                            Well, they took Blind Willie Johnson's "Nobody's Fault But Mine" and changed the lyrics considerably.....

                            And then in 1994, the 77s kept Zeppelin's arrangement, but took the lyrics back to how Willie wrote it.....
