That’s so silly to think that they’ve not composed stairway to heaven, as if the whole track were the first five seconds.
Shame considering it’s the only good part of the song
>It's not plagiarism if we only took PART of the song!Holy copium
>>122905521That’s just 5 seconds of guitar that are not even played again for the rest of the song.If you think this is plagiarism, what do you think of sampling in hip hop?
>>122906022ITS DIFFERENT IN RAP BECAUSE IT JUST IS OKAY!!!
damn those guys DYEL
>>122905519i like the we wind on down the road part
>>122906149Yeah cause usually they actually credit the artists lmao
Literally nobody would have had a problem with Led Zeppelin ripping stuff from other artists like Blues acts did all the time if they just said that they did instead of pretending that they didn't.
>>122906022The first 5 seconds being the iconic part that everyone remembers and learned to play when they got their first guitar at age 13 kek.>b-but what about... LE RAP?!It's not music
>>122905503john bonham looks like a caveman
>>122906022>That’s just 5 seconds of guitarWould you say the same thing if another band copied the riff from Whole Lotta Love? >what do you think of sampling in hip hop?Samples are usually credited. If they're not, then it's also plagiarism.
>>122906813>Would you say the same thing if another band copied the riff from Whole Lotta Love?I'm actually pretty sure there's a band that did exactly that at around the same time as them.
>>122905503It's just people who don't understand anything about music. It's a cliche chord progression and the only similarity is that they are at the same tempo on an acoustic guitar. The picking pattern is different, and they both end of different chords.

>>122907647wtf? LZ basically ripped off the whole song
>>122906813Yes, if another band would do that I would say the same.When people listen to stairway to heaven do they stop listening after 5 seconds? Who wrote the remaining 7 minutes?
>>122907647Holy shitDid copyright not exist for music back then? Was it harder to enforce? How was it so bad?
>>122907779from who? Willie or the Small faces>no Whole Lotta Love Riffmusically LZ did their own thing entirely
>>122908524Copyright laws existed but were more lax than they are today. A lot of the time, people would be able to copyright songs which weren't their own because no one would bother checking to see if they already existed. Example of this is Dazed and Confused.
