Biography

London, United Kingdom (1968 – 1980)

Led Zeppelin were an English rock band originally formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page under the name “The New Yardbirds”, based on Page’s previous band, The Yardbirds. The band formed when Jimmy Page (guitar) recruited Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin), and John Bonham (drums). With their heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound, Led Zeppelin are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal and hard rock music. However, the band’s individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one genre. Led Zeppelin did not release songs from their albums as singles in the UK, as they preferred to develop the concept of “album-oriented rock”.

Thirty years after disbanding following Bonham’s death in 1980, the band continues to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence. The band have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, including 111.5 million certified units in the United States, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. They have had all of their original studio albums reach the top ten of the Billboard album chart in the US, with six reaching the number one spot.

Shortly after their first tour, the group’s eponymous first album was released on 12th January 1969. Its blend of blues and rock influences with distorted amplification made it one of the pivotal records in the evolution of heavy metal music.

    TallicLizzy, such an idiotic thing is that you and your screwy friend ScorpionsPriest waste big part of your time in page of the band that is out of your musical taste. Evidently trolling is the most intellectual thing that you're clever at. And don't call me Jesus, that's not my name.

    Yeah, those druggie epics are liek so amazing!!11 If you're stuck 70 years in the past or something like that. That explains why the majority of their fanbase are either basement metaltards or middle aged balding men still trying to live in the past with god awful music and will most likely end up committing suicide at 55 when they realize they're stuck in a dead end job with a wife who's cheating on them with the gardener. N.W.A kept it real unlike these geriatrics with their idiotic music.

    also funny is that in his nickname he has Scorpions and Judas Priest, but glorifies N.W.A.

    the funny thing is that he has Scorpions in his nickname,wich i assume that is because of the band,big part of their songs are about love or sex.

    Maybe songs about sex like Black Mountain Side, Moby Dick and Bron-Yr-Aur ? These songs are really imbued with sex, aren't they?

    20 May 7:46pm Reply

  • veyita_88

    yeah,songs about sex like Kashmir,Achilles last Stand,Starway to Heaven,In my time of Dying,Gallows Pole,Immigrant Song,When the Levee Breaks,No quarter,right?

  • ScorpionsPriest

    Yeah, N.W.A does suck since they wrote songs about the real world instead of 'masterpieces' about custard pie, lost love (z0mg so original), and lemon juice, hehe sexual innuendo after sexual innuendo is just so amazing. Real lyrical genius is saying honey honey honey darling darling darling a million times amirite?

    Took the plunge and bought the 1993 complete studio recordings set a few months ago, and don't regret it! I really dig Led Zeppelin's over the top bombast and blues tone.
