i knew they were blues standards when i heard 'em ...they were so far removed from the originals that i could give a rip....he should have given credit and said transposed or something like that.....the taurus thing is just stupid to call it a rip off ....then i can say rush ripped off zep on "fly by night" from zep's "over the hills and far away" they both have same bit in it (the c to b-flat pick run)......the fleetwood mac thing....please!!!!total stretch there ....they were young and well...uncaring??zep 3 on has alot of original zep music.....houses of the holy----physical graffiti-----presence( 1 cover)-----in through the out door-----coda------most of zep 4 is their stuff.........
you want to know a ripoff??? the eagles "hotel california" totally snagged from jethro tull's "we used to know"but i don't think less of them for it it was probably unconscious and it is different.....if one plays g-d-a progression is that now patented so i can't use it???
