Was Led Zeppelin racist?

[85 East]

It's interesting that nearly every noteworthy British rock band at the time was heavily influenced by black blues but even those bands thought Zeppelin were regressive thieves. The Beatles didn't fukk with them, Rolling Stones didn't fukk with them, etc. And they were going on record straight up saying they didn't fukk with them band lol. There are multiple interviews of them getting shat on.

I can't speak on if they were racist or not. I have no idea. But I do like Zeppelin and it's hard to deny that they evolved their sound beyond blues later in their career and made great music.

It probably has to do with what was imported to their music stores. Records were fairly new in the 40's and 50's, especially good ones. And blues probably suited life in the UK

Yea all cac wannabe rockers are racists, especially the older ones.

Rock n roll was created by Black men and is Black culture. The racist pale demon can't stand that we make beautiful culture so it steals it through attacking any means we have to promote our culture as our own and spread it to our children.

They want to prevent us from expressing the parts of our culture they steal.

beatles actually seemed to have some respect. their cover of the isleys twist and shout was huge, and they demanded to meet their motown favorites when they came to america. beatles openly showed love for their influences. led zeppelin meanwhile will re-write an old willie dixon song and change it just enough so they didnt have to pay him. rolling stones were upper class wealthy art school kids (just like pink floyd) but the beatles were rough lower class kids. jimmy page is a fukking weirdo. like epstein list kind of weirdo. into some weirdo black magic shyt too

Huge LZ fan but I do remember Robert Plant calling the blues spook music which is one crazy ass negative statement to make so I’m going yes

I think they somehow bought the rights of all those early blues artists songs they covered too if not then it’s another band I can’t think of that did

Whilst they try steal the Blues

That remark reeks of extreme jealousy..

Eric Clapton is another one..

I had no idea Clapton was as racist as he is. The way he sucked and was riding BB King (RIP) dikk. Smh I really don’t get it

What I never understood is why would anyone listen to a band remaking Blues music when you could just listen to the Bluesmen that actually created the music.

Well they loved stealing from black artists.

When the levee breaks for example

Loved stealing from artists in general.





GOAT plagiarists.

People are attracted to the bigger names. Led Zeppelin have been getting pardoned for decades and I like their music tbh.

That’s wild cause LZ was by far the better musicians and band to me.

Way better musicians for sure. The Beatles are trash musicians all things considered.

Have you ever listened to the original songs that these artists remake?
