Zep being sued over "Stairway" infingement

[Curious Cdn]

Zep doesn't need much help to sell music, but LOL, Spirit and Randy California kind of might.
( There is ALWAYS some Zep on my Mp3 player, and Local boy made good Dan MacMaster (*RIP ), (Jason) Bonham's some time lead vocalist was a personal friend.)

I have the double Live Zep in my car and it trades time with Handel.

Just hearing that song this morning reminded me of my high school graduation and the theme was "Stairway to Heaven".
God I am getting old..

I remember the Q playing Stairway all morning because someone locked themselves out of the broadcast booth

They say Metallica did the same for the song "Sanitarium"

 

[Locutus]

whatever man...re: zep...the song remains the same.

I wonder when the authors of Twinkle Twinkle are going to mix it up with Ba Ba Black Sheep and the Alphabet song....

Twinkle Twinkle was written by Mozart, I believe.

 

[Johnnny]

Don't after a certain amount of years, songs become the property of everyone similar too books?

In my opinion: Not even close. Here's to hoping it's not some tin-eared judge from Oz who hears the case....

Gotta agree with you.

I've heard that ridiculous rumor as well but I'm not buying into it.

Can't play a musical instrument can you?

And No the radio doesn't count.

I used to play the triangle during school hymn practice. A few times I also got to play the tambourine.

Those songs are also a Mozart minuet. Plagiarism!

I play on the guitar, and sing, several zep songs like Over the hills and far away, whole lotta love, tangerine, and good times bad times, and living loving maid, ( still and since the back in the day), because I learned them by ear, and because I accredit Zep, it is not a copyright infringement.
Once people hear OTandFA on a Martin twelve string, they insist on hearing it again the next time too...It is a super classic, and just for that song alone, I will Forgive Zepplin for just about any musical sin.

I think the triangle is a better instrument.
