Is it true

People over-exaggerate it and pretend it wasn't common in blues music before LZ.

I mean, kind of but they did make it far harder and cooler. Sabbath was the right way to go, furthering from blues

A couple individual songs, but they made them their own.

It's exaggerated and Led Zeppelin were pioneers of rock, particularly hard rock.

To say they stole from Black/African American "music" doesn't make them special in that regard, but they did essentially cover/rework specific blues pieces and claim their own authorship. They even lifted lyrics and riffs from their contemporaries. I don't hold that against them as much since their versions were so good.

Bob Dylan stole more and did less with it.

All 60s/70s rock stole from the Blues

Led Zeppelin still are my favorite band

>>70749399
Guess so.

A lot of cunts stole a lot of shit from the blues 2bh.

I suppose if you're actually black it might bother you, cultural appropriation yadda yadda, but I like Led Zeppelin's music and dig the original shit that influenced them too, so yeah.

>>70749399
Literally every other Rock band did, the controversy with Led Zeppelin is that they didn't give royalties in a couple songs they covered

But of course 13 year olds will keep repeating things they're ignorant about

Basically everything in this thread. Do your homework if you really wanna know more about the times they had to go to court and shit, OP.

The concept of stealing didn't exist in old-time blues either. There were a bunch of standards and traditionals that kept getting revised and reworked.

Hell yeah right there with you buddy. It's not stealing if you change it and make it better, its pre-remixing it lol

Covering one another's songs was the norm back then. You might see it as exploitative because Black musicians didn't have as much appeal to a white audience, but I doubt any of the greats back then went in with that intention.

Everyone steals from everyone and always have.

The idea that any element of music or culture is created in a vacuum is pretty laughable.

But ya'know, PC culture isn't really about the truth.
