They're selective and can make exceptions when studying your craft to conquer it..
never surprised, but some people do disappoint you when you see they on dat cism.

Clapton made that remark back in the 70s and really nothing since, but it's wild to say some shyt like "keep Britain white"

yeah.....but we know this is well documented.

LZ gave no fukks on who they stole from apparently.​

Nope. I've seen Jimmy Page's decrypt ass (pause) talk casually about the whole 'change it until they can't claim it' vibe when talking to other musicians about the 'inspiration' for riffs and such and as it's been echoed in here, they never got their proper commpeuance for blatantly stealing material since their shytbag legal team knew how to stall folks out or were too much for the musicians who heard their shyt straight up stolen, to battle.
As music became more accessible on the internet, I had to force myself to stop listening to Zep and focus more on the artists they stole from and that made me all the better in terms of broadening my horizons towards the blues.​

Wasn't dismissing the theft they did at all fam. It definitely puts shyt in perspective to see how much shyt he sharked.

ever since i learned about that whole rivers of blood speech clapton made i havent liked him. kind of impressive that in a band that included ginger baker, eric clapton comes off as the biggest jerk.

dont forget that clapton was hanging out with van morrison doing anti-mask songs. being anti-mask/vax isnt inherently :mjpls: perhaps, but it makes me nervous as hell because it always starts with that, then the next thing you know...

fukk van morrison for real. i actually liked his music :snoop:

I know you weren't, I was just adding on to what you said. Many other white acts who were "Inspired" so much by the blues and the musicians that made those blues gave some sort of credit or helped out those they "Borrowed" from but when I realized how blatant Zep was with the shyts and the atittudes they had towards being sued for it...it's honestly a bit sickening.
Like I'm honestly surprised the cat who made Dazed and Confused never met Page someplace in an alley or paid white equivalent of a Suge Knight to dangle him off a bridge, 'cause I, honestly couldn't have let that shyt slide without getting my get back, be it money or blood; fukk that.​

man as you get older, you really do see why you have to separate the person from their talent sometimes.

Wait, what?
led zeppelin and vanilla fudge stayed at a hotel in seattle where you could fish out the window (it was built on a dock)

they caught a fish and used it to 'eat out' a groupie. i dont think she was 14 but who the hell knows

i only know because frank zappa made a song about it :yeshrug:
