Heart pays tribute to Led Zeppelin with awe inspiring version of Stairway to Heaven.

Led Zeppelin was a Heavy Blues band who took most of their early music from Willie Dixon. Black Sabbath is the first Heavy Metal band.
I don't consider Zeppelin to be a metal band. They are a rock n roll band, heavily into the blues, guitar oriented, but not metal.
Formed around the same time late 60's. Sabbath was heavy metal and I believe they credit Zep with being one of the first metal bands too, although they don't consider this as a part of who they are.
It has been suggested in several quarters that he can no longer hit all the notes, but who knows all the reasons why not.

Do you like Plant's latest association with Alison Krauss? He's heavily into bluegrass now, which I enjoy.
Maybe he got nervous with the surviving members of Zeppelin in the crowd and forgot the verse.
I own the Bluray. Watched it about 4 times. GREAT movie
I'm a HUGE U2 fan. Love 'em. To me, U2 is THEE best band ever. A joy to watch Edge and Jimmy Page and Jack White - 2 guitar wizards and 1 guitar GOD. Jimmy Page stole the show in "It might get Loud".
As much as I love Edge, he is doing what God meant him to do (play guitar), Page is the master. While both Page and Edge are innovators, Page plays a type of guitar that Edge just could never play. (Mind you, I don't think Jimmy could do what Edge does either.)
This scene was fascinating and brilliant and highlights Plant's ear as a guitar player.
Also, Page has that damn grin that just makes you smile when he smiles.
Oddly enough (and your likely to disagree) I think White is the best of the three of them.... what that boy can do with a guitar (or wire, a pickup and a board) is amazing...
I love him on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syDgyjECYZA
One fricking guitar....
OTB
For the first time in a long time, you're right.
I do disagree with you.....
1. Jimmy Page
2. Edge
3. Jack White
In that order. Though they are all brilliant for sure.

How dare you!
Ontario highschool student's question to Geddy Lee: Do you listen to Led Zeppelin?

Absolutely! Maye we can call them 'hard rock' too, no? Great post Captain. Was this event televised? This is quite an honour for a British rock 'n roll band, although Led Zep had incredible success in the U.S.A. Their famous live album The Song Remains The Same was recorded in Madison Square Gardens (as you know). I remember seeing that in the movie theatre (when there was no such thing as TV music videos.
My brother knew a guy who saw Led Zeppelin live at The Gasworks on Yonge Street in 1968 I believe.
