wfuckinga Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 1. Beastie Boys – “She’s Crafty”The classic from Licensed to Ill, produced by Rick Rubin, is entirely built upon Jimmy Page’s riff from “The Ocean.”2. Enigma – “Return to Innocence”The iconic Bonham drums from “When the Levee Breaks” serve as the backbone to your favorite music infomercial moment of the ’90s.3. Sean Kingston – “Me Love”The band’s reggae vibes from “D’yer Mak’er” get lifted from the start of Kingston’s 2007 hit song.4. Eminem – “Kim”Just as Dr. Dre used “When the Levee Breaks” to back up a major moment on The Chronic, he employed the same deep drums on “Kim” as he helmed production on The Marshall Mathers LP, kicking in at the 0:13 mark.5. Bun B – “Gladiator”The dark and fuzzy tones of “No Quarter” supply some power to the Houston rapper’s hit single from 30 seconds in and onward.6. Björk – “Army of Me”With a slight skip and jump, the “Levee” drums are also the driving force behind Björk’s breakout single from 1995.7. Ice-T – “Our Most Requested Record”The West Coast and elsewhere went crazy when Ice-T made “Heartbreaker” all his own back in 1987.8. Sophie B. Hawkins – “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover”John Bonham’s heavy breakbeat from “When the Levee Breaks” kicks into the bridge at 0:59.9. Jurassic 5 – “Lesson 6: The Lecture”Bonham’s brilliantly syncopated breakbeat from “The Crunge” takes over this iconic group’s instrumental at the 2:18 mark.10. Seal – “Crazy”The heavily percussive bridge of this ’90s cornerstone is also interwoven with John Bonham’s beats from “The Crunge” at the 2:44 mark.11. Beastie Boys – “What Comes Around”Zeppelin stayed part of the Beastie Boys’ formula when they began to work with The Dust Brothers instead of Rick Rubin, who used the intro drums of “Moby Dick” as all the featured breakbeats on “What Comes Around” from Paul’s Boutique.Love how the Beasties are listed twice, yet they are the first to sue if anyone even thinks of using "their" music http://www.buzzfeed.com/h2/fbsp/spotify/times-you-heard-led-zeppelin-and-didnt-even-know-it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've only heard She's Crafty from that list and I knew they sampled Zeppelin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'd say Rhymin and Stealin is the most Zep moment for the Beasties. They don't sue for people using their music as samples Miser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Also, the drums from When The Levee Breaks (and the riff from the song Black Sabbath) are in Ice T's Midnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Bonham must be up there with the most sampled drum parts of all time. Although still nowhere close to the Amen break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Also known as, "artists" sampling and changing aomething.enough so Zep doesn't get credit from the lay person. Sampling is fucking retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Kid Rock uses the whole lotta love riff live ALOT!!! I don't know if its on any of his albums, but the last time I saw him in concert (like 4 or 5 years ago) I know the band was playing WLL, while Kid was singing something else.

wasted Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Tommy Vance used to use Eruption by VH a lot on Rock Show. Rappers seem to use Curtis Mayfield if they are out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if I was held to a debate regarding it I might bring it up as a negative point on some level but in and of itself, fuck man, which band hasn't stolen riffs and licks and stylistic quirks etc. As you sort of said, the blues comes from a tradition of like a bunch of people copying a bunch of people and taking the tradition onwards.

Some of those guys made more from Zeppelin royalties than they ever did on their own stuff...and yes, sometimes they had to go to court to get it.

Iron MikeyJ Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Besides Zeppelin took the things they "borrowed" to places it would never of gone without them. Both musically and figurtivly. Whether it was playing blues riffs all over the world or like what they did with stairway and dazed. Both of those songs and artists should be greatful that Jimmy Page did his magic on them, otherwise neither song would of even been heard. Which those are the two that Page did "borrow" musically, but the other ones are things that Robert "borrowed" lyrically. Because musically they are completly different. Like Travelin' Riverside Blues, it sounds NOTHING like Robert Johnson's version, except for the lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 11 Times You Heard Zeppelin and Didn't Know: about 5,000 blues songs they ripped off Not that blues players from that era ever did that...Blues songs in general sound a bit same-ish. It's not a very versatile genre from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
