LED ZEPPELIN's JIMMY PAGE Says He Hadn't Heard SPIRIT Song He Is Accused Of Lifting For 'Stairway To Heaven'

LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page says that he "never heard" the SPIRIT song which he has been accused of stealing for his band's iconic track "Stairway To Heaven" until two years ago.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Page gave a declaration in court last week relating to lawsuit brought by the trust of the late SPIRIT guitarist Randy California which argues that the opening notes of "Stairway To Heaven" are too similar to a few notes from a 2-minute, 37-second instrumental titled "Taurus" from SPIRIT's 1968 album.

Page stated in the declaration: "Prior to hearing a recording of 'Taurus' in 2014 in connection with this matter, I have never heard 'Taurus' or even heard of it. I am very good at remembering music and am absolutely certain that I never heard 'Taurus' until 2014."

The guitarist went on to admit that ZEPPELIN shared the stage several times with SPIRIT. However, in the declaration, Jimmy stressed: "I do not recall ever seeing SPIRIT perform live. Again, though, I am absolutely certain I never heard them, or anyone else, perform 'Taurus'."

In his declaration, Page claimed that the beginning of "Stairway To Heaven" "includes a descending chromatic line chord progression and arpeggios, over which played an ascending line. I consider descending chromatic lines and arpeggiated chords basic skills learned by any student of the guitar. Certainly, as a guitarist, I was aware of descending chromatic lines and arpeggios long before 1968."

Page went on to say that he composed the music for "Stairway To Heaven" with "the intention to create a long work, with multiple different parts, that would unfold with increasing complexity and speed culminating in a guitar solo that was preceded by a distinct fanfare, followed by the last verse concluding a climax to the song."

Page also admitted to discovering a copy of SPIRIT's first album in his record collection but claimed he did "not know how or when it got there," suggesting it "may well have been left by a guest. I doubt it was there for long, since I never noticed it before. But, again, I know I did not hear 'Taurus' until 2014."

In 1997, California told Listener magazine that he thought the song "was a ripoff" of his composition. California died later that year.

"Stairway To Heaven" is said to be one of the most covered rock songs and its worth is estimated to be more than $560 million.

Dr. Charles Fairchild, an American author and senior lecturer in popular music who is part Sydney, Australia's Conservatorium of Music, explained to Fairfax Media that he heard a similarity between "Stairway To Heaven" and "Taurus" in "about 10 seconds" of music. But Fairchild added that he thought the claim was "unlikely to succeed."

"The obvious and only similarity between them is the finger-picked guitar passage that starts off the guitar playing in both songs," Fairchild said. "In the [SPIRIT] version, it starts at 0:43 and in LED ZEPPELIN's it starts off the track. It is that easy, slow descending figure that sounds like a few slow steps down to a nice resting point. This constitutes three measures of music in both songs, which in both cases takes up about 10 seconds or so. However, the two songs go off in completely different directions after this."

He continued: "It seems to me that anyone claiming to have been the first person to have ever written this passage is making quite an ambitious claim. This passage is little more than a stock standard chord progression whose origins would be very difficult to determine. It also happens to be a very easy and satisfying thing to play on any guitar in standard tuning. There are probably a lot of other versions of it out there that would be equally similar."

Ну да, как-то не вяжется с его же словами в одном интервью, что он не помнит целые годы своей жизни из-за непрерывного потребления наркоты и бухла. Может, как-то, будучи в хлам, наткнулся на Taurus и скопипастил фрагмент из этой песни, а теперь говорит, что мол, "не, не слышал". :D

Может конечно Лестница и навеяна услышаным, но явно лишь навеяна а не подчистую спёрто, ну только глухой не услышит что мелодии различаются, имеют разное окончание фраз и схожи лишь начальными ступенями, а кто когда либо играл на гитаре сможет понять, что придумать сыграть ля до ми ля, вообще не составляет труда гитаристу виртуозу.

"Мы выступали с ними, у меня есть их альбом, я был гостевым гитаристом на всех их альбомах и продюсировал половину из них, ездил с ними в тур, мы живем по соседству, я переспал с женой их вокалиста, но я НИКОГДА В ЖИЗНИ не слышал ни одной их песни!!!"

RomV, только вот время и место написания обеих песен, дают повод усомниться в его словах. Как и кучка других песен напизженных у других исполнителей и обитающих на альбомах Zeppelin без упоминания оригинальных авторов.

StygianSaviour, ну может быть и спёр, только вот довольно много всего переделал, переиграл и вышла Лестница. Ричи хоть в открытую говорит, что всё спёр из радио в шляпе :D

Да ладно, творческие люди всегда подглядывают друг за другом, это нормально. Художники смотрят на чужие картины, писатели заимствуют что то из других произведений, так и музыканты всегда друг у друга какие то идеи брали.

Как будто Stairway to heaven это единственное, что Зеппелины спёрли.
Да весь их первый альбом, это по сути сборник каверов на другие группы, записанные в собвственных аранжировках.
А суды эти нужны менее успешным группам, которые хотят хоть как-то реабилитироваться, в данном случае - Spirit.
А вообще плагиат это как скачивание музыки, вроде бы плохо, но с этим ничего не поделаешь.

По-моему, заимствование идей — это не просто не плохо, а очень даже хорошо. Другое дело, что стоит цитировать первоисточник, но (1) простейший рифф из новости нет никаких проблем переизобрести самому, а если и нет, то (2) Пэйдж потому и не признается, что в понимании общества заимствовать идеи — плохо, хотя реально популярная музыка — продукт общества, а не отдельных лиц.

По-моему достаточно типичный ход, есть схожесть, но на плагиат как-то не тянет. Да к тому же где Спирит, а где Зеппелин))

"Кому нужны эти суды?"

Группе Spirit. Теперь о них хотя бы узнают.
