Rockstars Who Didn’t Like Led Zeppelin 

Yes, He was a very grumpy dude anyway. Sorry Ginger, I admired your drumming in Cream but you acted so sour ,man.

Ginger was a man full of hatred

… he is not alone in his views of himself ! 🤣😂

😂

Anything from Rolling Stone was crap! Don’t subscribe to their viewpoint or anything else from them! Pretentious.

They are a class act. Also, when it comes to rock music and politics Sir Brian May is one of the few I will listen to.

🎯🎯🎯🎯

I'm with you brother!

No way.

Add to that The WHO. Vastly overrated band, who were more skilled at smashing up their own equipment than playing them. Pink Floyd wrote a few good songs, but they’re not in the same league as Led Zep

​@@Sanctified57 Who is The Who? 😂

@ Mister Smokeydog I agree absolutely....!!!

@MrSmokeydog it’s their opinion. It’s subjective. You have yours, other people have theirs.

I don't think PF or Roger Waters have any real reason to be jealous, vindictative, or nasty in their musical aspirations towards Zeppelin, simply because both bands' musical styles, image, lyrical and album themes were so radically different from one another. In terms of actual accomplished musicianship, Zeppelin wins over PF, big time, Waters is no musical genius, or savant and I think the fact that Page, Bonham, and JPJ's skills on-stage, and in-studio blow him in the Thames every time. David Gilmour, FWIW, is the closest thing to being a natural, pure musician in PF. PF, however does beat Zep's brains in when it comes to depth, talent, focus and intelligence in terms of song-writing. Pink Floyd released 3 legendary albums in the 1970's based around strong lyrical themes and concepts, thats their super-power. Musically, on-stage, PF are likely a better, free-form psychedelic band in that they could play, and improvise odd, peculiar time signatures with songs in a way that Zeppelin wouldn't do. Crosby and Joni Mitchell's views strike me as two, old embittered hippies whose mindsets and tastes never really evolved and I don't think they or their generation ever understood the rise of hard rock, heavy metal bands from the late 60's onwards. Gene Simmons once said that rock and roll, for the longest time was long and boring, and when he and his brother would travel to S.F. and see a lot of underground, S.F. hippy bands like the Dead, Airplane, and Quicksilver, they would often literally turn their backs to the audiences while jamming on-stage, Gene sort of found that insulting as it was wasting his time. Zeppelin was a band that represented a philosophy in rock music that was moving away from that. Not just them, but also Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple.

@@davidroberts7282Yeah, Pink Floyd has always outsold Zeppelin with Waters as the driving force on their biggest albums. He has nothing to be jealous about.

Or, and hear me out here, maybe they just don’t like their music. It’s subjective, and even among big music legends, there’s no accounting for personal taste.

Most of these bands and artists are still massively successful and famous and influential. They have nothing to be jealous about, especially Roger Waters considering Pink Floyd’s biggest albums outsell Zeppelin.

​@@curly_wynWATERS IS TRASH.. JUST ASK GILMOUR...

Spot on. Their “peers” were extremely jealous. Roger saying their music doesn’t hold up is ridiculous

Pete Townshend said that zeppelin became so much bigger than the who and obviously that applies to every other rock band of that era so yes absolutely the negative comments come from jealousy

agree

Just an excuse. A lot of these artists, especially Roger Waters and Pink Floyd, have nothing to be jealous about, especially since Floyd outsell Zeppelin.

@@1nAtEdAgR8It’s true.

In terms of "freaky", free-form, long, psychedelic jams interposed with weird, odd improvisations, peculiar time signatures in "Interstellar Overdrive", " Reaction in G", "Astronomy Domine", I don't know if Zeppelin could match some of the insanity, chaotic musical nature of some of PF's early live recordings at London's underground " UFO" club where sometimes you didnt know what kind of songs, instrumentals, or music Floyd would put out in their early days with Syd from late 66-early 68. "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" in a way, is sort of PF's "Dazed and Confused". Also, taking into consideration, Pink Floyd had 4 albums in the 1970's and early 80's that in some areas, outsold Zeppelin, I don't think Waters' comments come necessarily from a place of jealousy. Waters has always been and still is a very outspoken, opinionated musician (he's a life-long socialist who's political views are more left-wing than most Democrats) and lately, some of these views have gotten him into trouble or he's been labeled an anti-semite. He's difficult, arrogant, very brazen personality, some people upon meeting him might feel tempted to punch him in the face and more then likely Robert P!ant and Jimmy Page are a lot nicer people to meet, Ive been told some stories about how generous, approachable, and friendly Plant is. Page and P!ant know their musical legacies are secure, they make music now because they like it and its in their collective blood, it's fun and enjoyable and if one isn't having fun or enjoying themselves making or composing music, then there in the wrong industry.

Well, Caroselambra sucks, so…

I love Joni, but as she's aged, she criticizes everyone from Dylan to Taylor Swift, and everyone in between.

Album sales tell who’s rated , packed concerts tell who’s rated . In both cases Zeppelins is at or near the top

I never liked Joni Mitchell. I liked Dylan but he's overrated as hell. His songs were great however he's nowhere near the best as people claim. I like Roger waters and Brian Wilson way better than Dylan

@@22julipZeppelin’s diversity in their music usually amounted to taking a play on different genres like funk and reggae and so on but not not doing any of them real justice. D’yer Maker and The Crunge especially haven’t aged well at all.

@@22julipAnd Pink Floyd is above Zeppelin in sales, so if we’re now officially going strictly by that logic, Rogers Waters has nothing to be jealous about.

My point exactly! Metallica did the same thing but I personally could never stand their music.......so what!

A lot of people care.

I love The Beatles but hate Led Zeppelin. If that’s not jarring, idk what is, but there’s no accounting for subjective tastes.

Thats if you have any hearing left screaming rubbish

@@joonya66 You'll fuck around and hurt my feelings and I don't have but one left.

@Terry Andrews Yes, absolutely, it's Music for Eternity...!!!

​@@joonya66 Screaming rubbish....? I think You don't know, what You talkin about... But stay in Your Dreamworld.... Zep was, still is and will be for Eternity, one of the finest Band's ever.... If You like it or not....Cheers....! Have a nice Day....

@@henryvonzeppelin1288 yeah probably right you also have a nice day 😎

One of the greatest songs of all time as well. You would think she would be flattered.

Feminism

@60s Man 60s Guitars maybe, she is that woman unkind 😀 told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair… it wasn t her

she does have a bit of a point though. most led zeppelin songs sexualize the fuck outta women. still love the band, but some of those lyrics can be a bit much

@@daviddockery8962 To me she has the only valid criticism, Led Zeps lyrics are not as high tier as their music, I would give Joni and Dylan that honor.

Never before has there been nor will ever be a band like ,LED ZEPPELIN. EVERYTHING on or in this universe is different from all.

@Tony G EXACTLY!!! From one Tony to another. A lot of these guys were better known in the mainstream press than Led Zeppelin, but Led Zeppelin was selling more albums and tickets than these others. All Joni Mitchell ever does is whines anyway.

That’s my feeling from this video as well. Page and Plant were both big fans of Joni Mitchell. As for Dylan, he made snotty and sarcastic comments to and about everyone and everything. When showed the cover art for "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" by Paul Dylan is reportedly to have retorted, “Oh I get it. You guys aren’t cute anymore." Or words along that line. As for the rest. Yeah I’m hearing some jealousy there. Oh well…

I absolutely agree❤❤

Except VanGogh didn't steal other's art, refuse to give credit, and claimed it as his own. Zeppelin did. Yes, I do like some of their music.

@Bob Dunchad ok,...like what artist didn't take someone else's ideas or was heavily influenced by another artist.....ughhh...let me guess....most of them

Exactly I don’t listen to the other bands. The only one I think is a really accomplished musician is Bowie that I still listen to but the other bands I can literally care less and most people don’t care but Led Zeppelin has all allegiant fans young old they got it all.

Opinions are like a**eholes, everyone has one. And some of these critics are a**eholes.

Page is sloppy as all get out. Greatest guitarist? LOL.

That's funny, Robert Plant was still mourning the death of his son who died during their massive 1977 tour. 1978 not a chance.

They didn't tour in 78

Me too. PG is an Encylopedium of hard rock.

@@deanbriss10 he means 77 they played at the tempe in 1977 { ironically it turned out to be one of the worst concerts they played due to robert being sick and jimmy being in bad condition due to the heroin abuse}

No

@@vgr112261 KISS!

Umm...the Beatles?

@@user-wf4fv4oc1h Thank you for that wonderful joke!🥴

Townshend and Page are best friends and have known each other since their early teens! And yes Page stole his girlfriend!!

David Bowie was successful too...

@@ratwoman11222 artists like bowie had to rely on gimmicks to sell their music. Their music by itself wouldn't stand a chance

@@pinkled4429 what do you mean by gimmicks here?

The Beatles and LZ on top !

@@joshofofw945 as it’s been said the Beatles showed us how to write songs and zep showed us how to play them

Jim Morrison never publicly said anything negative about Led Zeppelin. Some of the biographies of Morrison claim that he confided to friends that LZ was the death of rock because Morrison felt that rock music was ready for a change into something different. When The Doors were the headliners of a concert in Seattle in 1969 they allowed Led Zeppelin to close out the night and LZ delivered and put on a great show.

Keith hasn’t been playing the same three chords for 50 years. 🤔

@@vgr112261 Keith is not listed on any top ten list.

Well said, Keef hasn't done a good Stones album since 1989. Heard maybe six songs since, I have refused to buy anything since. Led Zeppelin, timeless music!

@@daviddefigueiredo6018 stones ruined their A+ grade discography with a lot of mediocre- utter rubbish albums. I Haven’t liked a single thing they’ve done since the 80s

@@daviddefigueiredo6018The Stones haven’t made anything good since 1981, but that said, I still don’t like Zeppelin at all. It’s a personal taste thing.

100% true. The sad thing is I loved all these artists. It’s a shame they’re so bitter, when they were all gifted in their own right

Personally (and preferentially) speaking, I believe that, as ROCK musicians, Deep Purple slaughtered Zeppelin. The only one of 'em who may have got into Purple was Jones; the rest - no chance! I would put Gillan, Blackmore and Paice (Lord doesn't count as Zep didn't have a dedicated keyboard player) way in advance of Plant, Page and Bonham. It doesn't matter to me how many more units Zep sold; I just find 'em a little bit boring. There again - I like Cardiacs 😄!

@@steveharris4695 honestly, I don’t know Deep Purple well enough to have an opinion, but I know they are extremely well respected musicians. I think for me personally that the songs are more important then the individual skills at each instrument, and I think Led Zeppelin had an incredible catalog of songs. I have been meaning to get into deep purple more (I’m currently listening to a ton of AC/DC) but if you have any suggestions of where to start I would be all ears. Cheers.

@@JU5TINPDX Certainly! May I suggest: 1) Deep Purple in Rock; 20 Machinehead; 3) Made in Japan (live LP). And I agree - the songs supersede the musicians abilities (to some degree!), but I believe that the Purple songs of that era ('70 to '73)were better than those produced by Zep. However, my brother would disagree!

Roger never really appreciated David Gilmour, so that says a lot

May as well have Bono’s opinion

Pete Townsend couldn't do a guitar solo even if his life depended on it.

Hilarious !

Heaviest than who??????Nooooooooo

If it isn't a dead bluesman Keith won't like it.

@@radiomindchatter7994 True.

The Stones still sell out stadiums.

@@vgr112261 Bill Wyman knew when to call it quits.

As much as I like Pink Floyd, Roger Waters does not like anyone except himself. It's hard to find anyone as self absorbed

@@thomasmay69 100 percent he hates everyone!!

Except Dylan wrote so many song covered and made into hits by other artists. I wouldn't say Stairway is better that all of the songs Dylan wrote, he was a master, Plant wasn't, you can't stand him on one song.

@@brentonlett3417 I think "The Battle of Evermore" is also great. Don't get me wrong. I like Bob Dylan but I don't think musicians should put each other down.

It's all down to personal opinions, and for me Stairway isn't even the best song on LZ4! A great song and all time classic nonetheless, but there are several better Zep songs out there, i.e. Battle of Evermore, Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, No quarter.

Your opinion, of course.

@@vgr112261 no alot of our opinions. Infact I find lyricism to be pretentious

Yes it was a critical statement implying they will go down like a Led Zeppelin

Perhaps it’s jealousy. Clapton didn’t have the range, the power, the virtuosity, the technical brilliance, the energy, and creativity of Page. Neither did the old druggie Keith Richards

I saw Mick Taylor with Alvin Lee .....mind blown !

Cream slagged them their entire career in the '70's and now they sing a different tune .

@@rdhudon7469 you mean Creem?

The station I listen to plays a Zep song every hour! You never know which song it will be 🙌🏻

Some still have Zepathon weekends . Playing all albums and all songs

I love Pink floyd but Walters is just a ranting old git politicising himself

Ditto on that!
