Keith Richards: Led Zeppelin IS Jimmy Page! 25,000 PLUS YouViews
gaejangguk 1 minute ago -
He's right. Bonzo and Johnes could be replaced by any other fine players. Robert could be replaced too I guess, but Page couldn't. His riffs are the power of Led Zeppelin.

Never took off? Love Keith but Zep took off and blew right past the Stones, Who, etc. leaving everyone in their wake. Led Zep are the greatest band that ever existed. They are far more influential today than any other bands from their era.

Keith, you're a twat. Zep are as much Bonham, Plant and JPJ as they are Page. They were right to split when Bonham died. The Stones? Well, replacing Brian Jones ... why not keep the gravy train running? It's all just tired Blues clichés anyway. It's ironic: they say less is more. Well, in terms of Zep's smaller but better legacy, that's true. Whereas, in terms talent, i.e. the limited abilities of overrated poseurs like Keefy... nah, sorry, The Zep every time.

@sebuteo HELL YEA!!! zeppelin are giants in the rock world, the stones are a good group, but zep is great!!! page had integrity by letting zeppelin die, the stones just kept playing the same songs for years. page could have gone on for the money, but he wouldnt tarnish bonzos memory by getting someone else to fill in, the talent zeppelin had is still evident today, they're still selling albums, the stones drag their asses out every few years just to pay the bills,ROCK ON!!!!

All you keith richards lovers seem to forget a few things, brian jones started the band and was forced out by jagger and richards, theres 2 guys who wrote and played on alot of great songs... mick taylor and ron woods, richards didnt do it alone...JIMMY PAGE DID!!!!

@45arther yeah bro quit fucking commenting, led zeppelin sold more records. and they wrote stairway, kashmir, whole lotta love, rock and roll, black dog, don't say that 100 million more record sales isn't relevant to the bands success. zeppelin 4 sold more copies than any rolling stones album ever. and every member of led zeppelin is more talented at their instrument than any member of the stones. FACT. quit commenting and making yourself look like a dumbass

led zeppelin never really took off as a band. true. that's why they sold 100 million more albums than the stones i guess

Poor Keith, he's probably still wondering why everyone forgot about the rolling stones when Led-Zeppelin came out.
xXXPrinceAlbertXXx 1 week ago -
@xXXPrinceAlbertXXx really everyone forgot about the Stones. Thats why Zeppelin was crying in 1972 that nobody paid any attention to them when they tried to tour at the same time as the Stones.Look it up.

@xXXPrinceAlbertXXx i love it when people go on and on about something they have no idea about, @45arther talks a bunch of shit about zeppelin ripping off half their songs on their first 4 albums, they covered 9 songs out of 36, i looked up the stones first 4 albums and they covered 41 out of 48 songs, zep sold 310 million albums for 9 recordings, the stones sold 250 million on 38 records, a big difference! this guy just doesnt wanna admit hes wrong, the stones are good but zeppelin is GREAT!!!

@xXXPrinceAlbertXXx i hear ya bro, i tried to be objective, but he just kept on about zeppelin ripping off their songs, i had to look up the stones n show him, i like the stones too, but theres no comparison, zeppelin is musically so far above the stones, i saw zeppelin at the garden in '77, i was 16 n it was the best concert of my life, imagine if bonzo didnt die, how far they could've gone, page had much more music for the band, but we'll never know, we keep zeppelin alive, ROCK ON!!!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 lol. How far they could have gone..Good one. They put out one decent album in the last 9 years before bonzo died..now we have to wonder how far they could have gone.

@xXXPrinceAlbertXXx Fact..Zeppelin all the members were whinning that in 1972 they tried to tour the usa at the same time as the Stones and were completely over shadowed. Look it up.

the one thing that page had over the stones and almost every other band was his ability as a producer, after all his years as a session man, he knew how to get the best sound out of any instrument, vocalist and band, to have jimmy in the studio meant the song was surely gonna be a hit, early bands used to schedule their recordings to jimmys availability, he worked on so many artists songs, he would play in clubs at night then work in the studio all day, future practice for led zeppelin!!!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
jimmy page as a producer did something no other has done, while touring for zeppelin 1, every city they stopped in, they recorded tracks for zeppelin 2, playing concerts at night, recording a new album in the day, on the road, recording a new album while playing their first album, imagine the pressure of introducing their new music while producing their next, most bands take months after a tour, write new material, rehearse it, then record it, page did it all at the same time, amazing feat!!!!

@kildare97 I think the drugs finally got to him, look him, what a fuckin mess! i think he was jealous of zeppelin cause they encompassed so many different styles, they had so much range in their talent and ability, being able to go from the blues to folk, from hard rock to acoustic, heavy metal to even country and reggae, page played on a few stones songs and was a wizard in the studio, inventing new recording techniques and new sounds and gadgets, something the stones could never do!!!

poussyledzep 1 week ago -
@poussyledzep jimmy page and robert plant were first united in their love of the blues, bukka white, johnny lee hooker, howling wolf, gene vincent, scotty moore, elvis and many more blues men were the first influences of led zeppelin, a few beatles songs may have influenced a few zeppelin songs, granted, the beatles paved the way for all british bands, but zeppelin were unique in their style and varied in their musical tastes.
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 your not being honest. They flat out ripped off probably half the songs on their first 4 albums. They were sued many times about it. I know you know that. Research it if you don't.
45arther 1 week ago -
@45arther ok, you want to break it down to the better career, the number one judge of a career is record sales, the stones to date have sold 240 million sales of 38 albums, zeppelin has sold 310 million on just 9 albums!!! that right there tells you who is more popular, thats the cold hard facts in the record books, zeppelin is second only to the beatles for the best in the world in just recording 12 years, who blows who away, FACTS DONT LIE!!!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 record sales don't mean crap. I guess you consider Thriller the best album ever right. Because Jackson sold a ton of records to a bunch of kids. Kind of like Zeppelin.
45arther 1 week ago -
@45arther Sure, deflect the topic to michael jackson now, you just cant handle the FACTS!!! Zeppelin used or covered 9 songs out of 36 on their first 4 albums, the stones covered 41out of 48 on their first 4 albums, look it up man, ITS FACT!!! they couldnt even write more than 7 songs out of 48, thats real original, what bullshit are you gonna say now??? LOOK IT UP, YOU'LL SEE IM RIGHT!!! your the one who kept saying research it, i guess you should've before you started talking outta your ass!!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 i actually have to explain this to you? You are talking about the Stones in the very early 60s when nobody wrote their own songs. Even the beatles did covers. Comparing that to Zeppelin ripping off everything from 1969 on is lame..What was Page and Plant writing in 1964..
arther1045 1 week ago -
@arther1045 Thats rich, nobody wrote their own songs!!! i guess the yardbirds didnt write their own songs,or the kinks, or the who, look them up, they were all original!!! the stones were a cover band, lets keep going, the 5th album 8 outta 12 covers, 6th album 6 outta 12 covers, 7 th album 7 outta 12 covers, real original, zeppelin wrote all their own after the 4th album, its just your opinion they werent good, if they werent, they wouldnt have sold as many records as they did
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 the who,kinks, and yarbirds were not writing their own songs in 63-64 which is when the Stones were mostlry doing covers.
arther1045 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 the topic is not michael jackson. the topic is how silly it is to try and act like album sales mean anything when determining artistic value. So again I ask. Is Thriller the greatest album ever? yes or no.
arther1045 1 week ago -
@arther1045 yes, michael jacksons album is one of the best of all time, im not as closed mind as you, i appreciate all music, jackson was great in his prime, i can appreciate that being a musician, i love all music, blues, pop, reggae, soul, if it wasnt great, why did so many people buy it, huh, you cant answer that because your not a real music lover, just someone hung up on the stones, what next? elvis sucked too, he sold millions, how about the beatles, better than the stones? yea right!!!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
your just talking sour grapes because i proved you talk out of your ass, that the stones werent original, while you ranted about zeppelin copying half of their first 4 albums, i proved it was less than a quater, that the stones actually covered 80% of their forst 7 albums, you cant handle the truth and try to spin it any way you can,THE FACTS DONT LIE. now you say nobody wrote their own music, thats ludicris and everybody on here knows your full of shit, you cant prove anything, ive stated FACTS
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 Give me the list or rock bands that wrote their own muci in 1963-64. Whta is there not to get about this. The Stones did covers when thats what rock bands did. They didn't write their own songs.
arther1045 1 week ago -
@arther1045 And Zeppelins blues vovers were far more interesting than the Stones versions . Would you not listen to ' little red rooster " or any of the other Stones' blues covers if Richards and Jagger hadnt given credit to the original artist ? If you dont like Zeppelin s music , thats one thing , but pretending not to like them for some supposed ethical reason is just a joke . All you people are a lot of self important and ill informed morons who miss the point of the music .

@RisingSon011 EXACTLY!!!! ive been trying to tell this to that asshole for days, he kept going on about how zeppelin stole half the music on the first 4 albums but i proved it was less than a quater, while the stones covered 80% of their first 7 albums, some people are so close minded, i like the stones but c'mon, zeppelin is in another league, 310 million sales on 9 albums, the stones, 250 million on 38 albums, no comparison, ROCK ON!!!

@jroxx11211 no kidding man . when I first heard Cream or Humble Pie or the Yardbirds doing old blues songs , I never concerned myself with where these songs came from , even though I knew exactly where they came from , as did every musician in England. But I certainly would not have appreciated the songs any less if Clapton or Steve Marriott or Kieth Relf had put their own name as writers . I understand that it's not ethical or even legal , but it does not change anything about the quality

@RisingSon011 of course! all rock bands, either american or british owe everything to the blues men of the deep south and the delta, there would be no rock without them! whether or not a band recognizes them, the old blues men were the impetus for all rock n roll, to be so arrogant as to say one band ripped off more than another, or didnt give enough credit is just juvenile, lets just appreciate the music, these other assholes are always gonna find something to argue about, ROCK ON!!!

-
@daveasc Page played on early stones tracks and was hired by the stones manager to be the in house producer of their new record label, immediate records, so page really schooled keith on how to record, page was already the best studio guitarist by the mid 60s, he became a great producer too, engineering all the zeppelin albums, plus the firm, and his work with the black crowes, his music ability was far superior to richards, as a producer, guitarist and songwriter, keith is fuckin burnt toast!!!

@jroxx11211 when is the last time page wrote a decent song ( that he didn't rip off ).. 1970s..page has been a zero in the music business for well over 30 years. he did a great job of covering some songs back then..

jonomutiny 3 weeks ago -
@jonomutiny its silly to chaulk it up to being jealous. No reason for him to be lealous of Zeppelin. The Stones will always be regarded as the greatest band, and Keith has 3 times the money that anyone in Zeppelin has. Plus Richards never says anything but nice things about the Beatles who did overshadow the Stones a little and are the biggest band ever. maYbe guys you know what it might be,, maybe he actually does care much for the style and music of led zeppelin.
45arther 1 week ago -
@45arther Maybe he he doesnt care for Zep's music but having read a lot of Richards writings, he loves all music rooted in the blues and I would counter that a lot of tracks from both bands are in similar genre. Keef used one or two open tunings whereas Pagey used a lot more. I think Zep stole a bit of Stones thunder. Richards does say a lot of good things about the Beatles and likes their stuff and respects them, (see 25x5) To say the Stones will always be the best band is subjective.

@jonomutiny i meant to say that the Stones will go down as a greater band then Zeppelin. Many may disagree but there is no doubt the Stones are more legendary band.
45arther 1 week ago -
@45arther wheres the stones stairway to heaven, all richards could do was copy chuck berry, the musicianship in zeppelin is astronomical, kashmir, the rain song, the song remains the same, its ludicris to compare the two, the stones were a blues band, zeppelin played the blues, acoustic, folk, regaee, hard rock and of course they invented heavy metal, theres no comparrison, they had one drum solo song and bonzo was the greatest drummer ever, plants lyrics were poetry that will last forever!!!!!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 lol..the stones were great song writers, zeppelin was not. They stole most of the songs off their first 4 albums.

@45arther who said anything about complicated songs, is dyer maker complicated, rock n roll, thank you, out on the tiles, i get a kick outta guys like you who think because you stay around so long, your a god, more like a relic, zeppelins music was constantly evolving, and who do you think wrote those 8 albums? plant and page, yes they used a few pieces of songs as inspiration, but who didnt? it all comes down to personal preferance, i love zeppelin, you love the stones, enough said!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 give me a breal. Zeppelin had 5 albums that were decent and you know what they were. ON the first 4 they ripped off most of the songs and you know it. They used more then pieces of songs as inspiration. They constantly ripped songs off and you know. They did evolve and they sucked when they got away from thr music they were ripping off. Nothing special at all about their 1973,1976, and 1979 albums. They were a joke by the end of the 70s.
45arther 1 week ago -
@45arther after '74s its only R&R, stones albums were just reasons to tour n make money, put out an album with maybe one good song, then tour the world n play your old music. black n blue, tattoo you, undercover, dirty work, steel wheels, voodoo lounge, all nothing special, at least page had the grace to let zeppelin die after bonzo did, he coulda reformed and milked it for every dollar he could, but he has integrity, the stones hafta maintain their lavish lifestyles and gigantic egos!
jroxx11211 1 week ago -
@jroxx11211 1978 some girls and 1981 tattoo you albums are considerd great albums. Th stones wee great from 1964-1981. After that they put out some good music on albums but never really good albums. BUT Zeppelin was only great ffom 69-75 and never put out anythin decent after that. And i am sure that Jimmy Page hasn't come up with anything decent in many many years. Look like Zeppelin just don't like the revisionist history that claim that Zeppelin has aything over Stones.
arther1045 1 week ago -
@arther1045 like i said before, its all personal preference, i love zeppelin and you love the stones, the difference is that i like the stones too, im a musician and as a guitar player i know jimmy page is a virtuoso on the guitar, keith richards is a great guitarist in his own right, its apples and oranges, its useless to keep saying whos better, its all up to opinion, some people hate them both and think nirvana is the greatest, thats their opinion and ya gotta respect it.

@jonomutiny actually the Stones stole some of Zeppelin's thunder and members of Zeppelin have admitted that flat out. in 1972 for instance, Zeppelin tried to tour at the same time as the Stones and because of it nobody except teenage fans gave a crap about the Zeppelin tour. Zeppelin was furious about it.

LZepp raised the bar for other bands to follow back in the 70s. The Stones then realized they had to get their shit together and rehears more seriously, resulting in some continued great albums. Perhaps that's why Keith is reluctant to appreciate Zepp's talent. Steven Tyler has no problem complimenting talented musicians. Oh - I really enjoy the Stones' music too!

@MrKeefrichards exactly. Richards is not going to like Led Zeppelin. Great rock bands write great songs and play straight rock. Zeppelin was nothing but over the top bullshit. One guy screaming, one guy smashing the drums as hard as he can, one guy playing with a violin bow..Total bullshit.

@45arther Normally I'd just look at this as a dumb opinion and ignore it, but I can't. ANYONE that thinks Zep is "bullshit" is musically deaf and most likely an opinionated (ignore the hypocriticism) peice of trash.

Jealous asshole. Led Zeppelin brought something new to the music history with every song and album. Rolling stones are playing 40 years on the same scheme.

@rwthcj Zeppelin also brought plagiarism.

@rwthcj sorry but there are better bands out there than led zepplin. stones playing nearly 50 years because people like them and there still going because there a tougher band. band member croaked in both bands but unlike zepp stones keep going and thats with keith taking more drugs than led zepp put together

@MrKeefrichards much respect in that statement sir.. but i'd have to give the crown to Floyd in that category. all the drugs / fame / and timeline aside... every single one of their albums were 100% origional and perfected. everybody has their own vibe though ;)

each member of zeppelin is probably better individually than the entire Rolling Stones put together. Deal with it.

Cant believe he said 'it never took off'!!! Zep broke all of The Stones attendance records in the States AND the UK, several of which still stand! And sold more records per album. I love Keef, just finished his autobiog (very good) but he does sound a little sour!
-
@AshmanCFH It's not he last first time or last time. Ritchie Blackmore also has a bit of Zeppelin envy and has had made a few digs at the band for not breaking out of the blues structure or for not attacking songs with a faster tempo. Tony Iommi also tries to do the same as he did not he LAST SUPPER DVD, in which he talks about Sabbath's power coming form the band while Zeppelin's just came from the drums. I guess he hasn't heard his own LPs as it sounds like they recorded it in a outhouse.
-
@AshmanCFH bull. the stones drew just as much as zeppelin. and were actually considered the bigger live band. What Zeppelin did is play without a warmup band, and the records they set were for one act concerts.

Yes we all know that Jimmy is a musical genius but so is every other member in Led Zeppelin. We are so lucky to have all 4 of them in a band together. Doubt anything like this will happen in this world again.

Even though each member of Led Zeppelin injected their own personality into the whole sound of the band, Zeppelin wouldn't be anything without John Paul Jones and John Bonham. To say that Jimmy Page alone was Led Zeppelin is therefore just plain stupid and ignorant.

If Page is Zeppelin the nwhy did the Zep agree that it could not go on without John bonham? Keif is as dumb as a box of stones.

Never much of a stones fan. Street fighting man is pretty good though. Keith is probably high here after snorting bat guano and main-lining drain-0. He can't be held responsible for what he says.
jamo387 2 months ago -
Interesting! I always wondered what Keith thought of Zeppelin! Perhaps he likes Page better because he is closer to his age? You know, Page and Richards are only a month apart (Keith was born in Dec 1943, and Jimmy was born in Jan 1944)
