TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I love Led Zeppelin. I also love how much controversey they seemed to stir "back in the day". Here are some of the rumours/stories/myths I have heard: - Plant and Page were into the Occult stuff ( I think thats actually true) - The band sold their souls to the devil to make it big. - Stairway played backwards says...well, everyone knows that one. - Stairway to Heaven was conceived by Plant and Page at the same time and written in an hour, so therefore the devil helped ( this one is coming from a religion teacher at my school, who absolutely hates Led Zeppelin) - The incredible infamous "Red Snapper" incident. Very disgusting, I'm not going to describe it, but I hear it involved only Bonham and the manager. If you want to find out more about this one...google it, or maybe another brave soul will post it. Thoughts on any of these? :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I'm afraid, just plenty of speculation on the fantasy fiction (or Satanic) leanings of songwriter Jimmy Page. We've summarised some of the main theories we've come across here - they can't all be correct, though, and we don't endorse any of them ourselves. http://www.bizarremag.com/ask_bizarre.php?id=345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
