The opening guitar to Stairway To Heaven was nicked from Spirit's song Taurus, which was recorded two years earlier.

Interesting that Clapton and Beck chose to include this particular Willie Dixon cover in their set. Were the two legendary Yardbirds guitarists paying "tribute" to the one who wasn't there? .... or poking a little fun at him?

Who cares who ripped who off. Let the courts and lawyers figure it out. To me if it sounds good it sounds good. Their is a reason LZ was a lot more popular than the bands they allegedly ripped off. They were better.

It appears to be that a short melody can turn into a riff.

That riff has been around a long, long time.

Ha haIn fairness, this isn't as similar, though, as the Gilberto-clip from 1965, in which plays the riff almost note for note.
But it's not rocket science, and it would surprise me if the very same riff have been around for a very long time.

Even here, especially if you slow it down a little, you can clearly hear something that comes very close to the Smoke On The Water riff.
Doesn't bother me in the least. Like I said before,let the lawyers sort it out. To me a goodf song is still a good song. I'll lsiten to Zep's versions of these so called rip offs before I listen to the originals.Quote

Well, they certainly don't seem to be quite the mystic genius wizards I thought they were when I was in high school.

2. Brian Jones
3. Mick Talyor
