Was Led Zeppelin racist?
- Thread starter doggy
- Start date
like yall said, like their music, but not shocked if they were/are.
Go and listen to the remakes of these Leadbelly songs. Then listen to Leadbelly again.I usually do. Isley Brothers did a better cover of Chicago's song back in 2001

They stole from black artists but they also stole from white artists. Jimmy Page stole Dazed and Confused from a white american folk artist.

I seen the comments, alot of grasping at straws
Im familiar with him and the group from studying Music history. Was never into their music. Throws me off how the comment was hidden, as though it never happened.
Same as Eric Clapton.
White media editors protected their heroes, and the corporations who own and benefit from their content.
At the end of the day, underneath all the so-called admiration, MFers are typical racists.

And the Jews weren't out here stealing publishing and collecting non-existant songwriting credits from black artists during the "Race Records" Era?

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
Rolling Stones were very respectful to black artists too. They took just about all the big blues artists on tour and got them paid. Helped some of them get signed to record labels too.
But yea, people did not fukk with Zep lol

It’s amazing how much music was remade back then. I don’t see that happening as much now as then. Lots and lots of covers.

Which is funny because they were notoriously getting shifted on by Rolling Stone. Who made the staff at the time change their mind?
There was a thread where it showed where they stole a vast majority of their music from Blues Legends.

yeah.....but we know this is well documented.
LZ gave no fukks on who they stole from apparently.
Most likely. They’re white men, after all.
I bought their first album on vinyl just because I’ve seen it everywhere. I checked it out, and it was pretty much Black music. People act like they did something so new and revolutionary.
