    Stairway to Heaven - did they copy it?

    After comparing them, I think that, while there are some similarities, the differences are greater. The Zep's music is much sharper and more defined. What do you think?

    Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant recounts 'how he wrote Stairway to Heaven 45 years ago' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    My understanding was that the bloke who actually wrote the other song new exactly about Led Zep using a similar riff for Stairway and was cool with it.

    No, it's a money grab by the living relatives as Muppet said. Hopefully gets thrown straight out of court.

    Sadly it's all about the money Notice there are not a lot of claims on copies that have gone nowhere on the charts :/

    Court ruled today that there was no claim as it was different. Maybe now Wayne can play it

    The ruling.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Maybe why they won: Davy Graham - Cry Me A River 1959. That same 4 bar descending riff can be heard here as per LZ's claim that it's been in use for yonks.
