As you may be aware Led Zeppelin are being sued by the family of former Spirit guitar player Randy California claiming they copied his song Taurus in the famous and very lucrative Stairway to Heaven.
Have a look at this for instance..
So my question is guilty or not guilty?
And yes before any smart alec chimes in I know they have previous in this respect but I'm genuinely interested in what the guitarists on here make of it....
Yeah I've read all about it. Dweezil reckons Gail didn't pay up what she owed and Ahmet wants to charge him for playing the music. Moon Unit gets nothing either apparently. One thing he's definitely right about is that he's the only one capable of going out and delivering the goods.

He allegedly turned down Led Zep who then turned to Plant.
His early albums are well worth picking up.
Great soul voice, some of the songs are a bit cheesy though. Strangely I saw his eponymous album for sale in an antiques store in the middle of nowhere last week, so I had to buy it for $3 even though I have it somewhere

Wasn't Noddy Holder once a contender for the Led Zep gig?
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

He'd have been good though. Not many Led Zep songs wouldn't be improved by delivery in a thick Black Country accent.

He was apparently on the short list to replace Bon Scott though.
That I can believe. Slade were on a downer at the time.
