Next Qn- How did led zep come up with their name?

Thought that they wanted to go down in history like a lead zeppelin but changed the spelling so wouldn't be said leed zeppelin...

close but no cigar once again....
Several of the band members had been in a band by the name of the yardbirds, when talking bout names for the new band, one sujested "the new yardbirds" another replied "that would go down like a lead balloon" and so it was developed from there.

You will have your rep points in the next day or so, depending on when it will letme

"Several" is a bit off track. It was just Jimmy Page who was in the Yardbirds, and he was trying to continue with a new "Yardbirds" band for contractual reasons.

I'm much the same, although there's no way in hell I would have even looked at this if my Dad hadn't told me about it.

Got any Sky in your music collection? That shit still knocks my socks off.

He's well worth a look, very high energy shows.
