Diety of Led Zeppelin Lyrics
The members of Led Zeppelin are major deities in the pantheon of rock gods. The first and heaviest of the heavy metal monsters, they violently shook the foundations of rock music and took no prisoners on the road. Their tours were legendary, their lives were exalted—and in an era well known for sex and drugs, the mighty Zeppelin set an unattainable standard of excess and mythos for any band that tried to follow them. They were power, they were fantasy, they were black magic. No band ever flew as high as Led Zeppelin or suffered so disastrous a fall. And only some of them lived to tell the tale.
Led Zeppelin still thunders over the kingdom of rock, decades after the quartet split up. Having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide, Led Zep Lyrics have been described by Rolling Stone magazine as “the heaviest band of all time”, “the biggest band of the ’70s” and “unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history.”
The brainchild of studio wizard Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin Lyrics marked the transition from flower-power good vibrations to the rough sounds of a disillusioned era. More than just another hard-rock band, however, Zeppelin drew on elements from reggae, soul, blues and R&B, as well as more exotic sounds from India and the Middle East.
Consisting of four charismatic and supremely talented artists – legendary guitarist Jimmy Page, lead singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones, the band have created a body of work which has become even more widely acclaimed and more influential since they disbanded in 1980 after Bonham’s untimely death.
In 2007, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunited (along with John Bonham’s son, Jason) for the Ahmet Ertegün Tribute Concert at The O2 Arena in London. The band was honoured with the “Best Live Act” prize for their one-off reunion at MOJO Awards 2008, where they were declared the “greatest rock and roll band of all time.”
