Don't you just hate it when you fall off a horse, get severe brain damage and then have Jimmy Page steal your riff? Poor bastard.

"Inspired by" is about a big a stretch as you can make IMO. The two songs are completely and utterly different.. So the opening hook has a similar chord progression? Big fucking deal? Taurus is a noodling go nowhere chord jam Stairway is a fucking epic
Look at popular music today. Jesus fuck. Many songs are exact carbon copy rip offs of others. This is not even in the same ballpark

Again.. similar intro.. but not the same song at all. Most music is inspired by others.

Maybe they just ate the same acid, and part of the trip was hearing that tune. That's waht I'm going with.

Leadbelly would have killed all of them if he was alive when they stole his song.

Well, Blues songs are passed around and covered so much. I mean, a lot of shit Leadbelly recorded was stuff he didn't write. Stuff that has been passed down through the community. That's how folk music works, and that's all the Blues is, so I really doubt he would

That's why they waited until he was dead. But ya man I dunno if you know this but that's how music evolves. Bands cover other bands, they write similar music in their own style, add their own twists. All genres of music is just an evolution of something else.
Rock came from blues and folk evolved into metal and then technical melodic motherfucking death metal. Beyond Creation is ripping off Led Zeppelin?
But yeah man that's like one of the best things about music, it's stupid as fuck when people think they can own or "patent" a fucking chord progression.
Yeah it's one thing if someone just completely rips you off exactly and steals your shit, it's another entirely when they are inspired by and go on to create something completely different.

Hell, the entire basis of the "British Invasion" was Brits covering the Blues.

Modern music is just a fusion of african tribal beats with classical influences. Is beethoven gonna start suing people? NOPE, public domain!

Looks like it is indeed an old folk song. I thought he wrote it. He'd still have killed them, though. Nothing wrong with playing old folk and blues songs, but pretending you wrote them is pretty shitty. Stealing songs from currently living people you actually know and not giving them credit or money is far worse. Led Zeppelin have done both extensively.
I'll drop this, anyway. People are very defensive about this band for some reason. If someone can genuinely hear the original Dazed and Confused and think the Led Zeppelin version isn't stolen from it, then nothing is going to change their mind.
You can be a thieving wanker and still make good music. Robert Johnson commandeered Skip James songs without giving credit and it doesn't mean he's a bad musician, it just means he was a prick.
