Cover art for Dazed and Confused lyrics by Led Zeppelin

just fyi this song was origanally written by the yardbirds (which page, beck, and clapton were all a part of at one time) then in the middle of the yardbirds tour the band broke up cept page and he had to keep touring so he hired people to be in his band and Pete Townshend (lead guitarist of The Who) said that the band "will go down like a led zeppelin" meaning that the band wont make it far in the music career and the band decided to take Led Zeppelin as their name.

Just fyi this song was written by Jake Holmes, covered by the Yardbirds and stolen by Led Zeppelin. Of course zeppelins version sounds the best though.

Not Valid

i don't think it was "stolen." jake holmes toured with the yardbirds. i'm sure holmes had an appreciation for the fact that page was so moved by his work. by the time page re-made it yet again, it's obvious that it became almost an entirely different entity. which is why led zeppelin has a separate claim to the song.
