But I don't know how many people are aware of the fact that Led Zeppelin is essentially a COVER BAND who never paid any of their biggest songs' writers and composers a penny, unless sued and settled out of court.
All but 1 of their signature songs are stolen from other people. The word "stolen" is appropriate because they never paid these writers or given them credit (until they sold their catalog to Atlantic records for $25 million).
And now, Jason Bonham is doing everything he can to cash in on the Led Zeppelin myth, including selling drum kits.
Stunning as it is, Led Zeppelin needs to pay the people they ripped off from and acknowledge where their biggest hits came from.
