Shubermaniac, thanks for the interesting info. I am wondering who got the credits for "Dazed and Confused" for the first Zep album. Since I do not have that with me, anybody who does? Was that exactly same in tune and/or lyric? Or, did Zep diddle a little with it?
Anthrax,Korn,Iron Maiden,Marilyn Manson, Megadeth, Metallica, Ozzy, Pantera, Sepultura,Slayer
Have not heard this piece yet Shubertmaniac. Your musical knowledge is more than impressive to say the least. I did get a $100 gift certificate at Tower Records for Christmas, so that one may make it onto the final cut. Thanks for the informative discussion!
Cogito-Zep were pretty blatant in their early days for taking old blues standards changing little and crediting themselves. Willie Dixon in particular suffered and eventually Zep paid out royalties in the late 80's I believe. Dazed & Confused I believe(can't check at the moment)is credited to Page/Plant/Jones although the song was a feature of the Yardbird days. I believe it is similar but different enough to maybe get away with it. Likewise songs such as In My Time Of Dying was a standard (Dylan did it on his first album) but completely rearranged in epic style. The Yardbirds connection continued throughout their career-with tracks such as White Summer(Page instrumental) and on their final European tour in '80 they used to start with The Train Kept A Rollin'-the first song they ever did as a band and a Yardbirds standard
Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Eric Johnson, Jethro Tull, Crosby Stills & Nash, Dixie Dregs, Alan Parsons Project, Midnight Oil, Pat Methany group, oh and the Beatles
