Part of Led Zeppelin's massive success, was because of Peter Grant. He understood how to promote concerts, so that the artists received 90% of all money. He and Led Zeppelin got along great, and they had no formal agreement, only a gentleman's agreement. Then, they did almost no interviews, a good move. Getting Robert Plant, was being in the right place at the right time.
Considering that Plant was just a country boy, it was pretty close to a miracle that he was able to not get caught up in the insanity that seemed to follow that band, oh, and that Page is still alive.
Peter Grant was a/the driving force is Led Zeppelin. Hes always forgotten,but if you're a big Zeppelin fan and know their history like me...you will know that it was Grant who made them tour relentlessly and Grant who got them more than 65%-70% for alot of the early shows. He wasn't a man to be reckoned with. R.I.P-Peter Grant
Why do you watch it even thoough you have see their story through and through? Just in case there is one short clip or some spoken fact that you might not know!
I don't remember names, but there was this house band i remember back in HS who played all types of Metal. Their name was 'Asylum'. The guitarist was this skinny blonde dude with hair halfway down his back. He tore up that electric Fender so good that it was even hard to follow his rapid fingers. Their music wasn't my brand, but I was impressed by the two guitarists. And I could say with confidence they had the capability to do any speed metal available and more. But they never made it big.
ACDC should have hung it up in 1980 also .And . there are plenty of bands with alot more credibility and relevance than Kieth Richards , who believe Zeppelin is tops . Kieth Richards is a freaking mummy , and almost as interesting
The first statement by Steven Tyler (sounding like he's reading from bland script) is ludicrous! " In the 1970's Led Zeppelin was --probably-- the biggest band in the world ". Are you kidding? Led Zeppelin so thoroughly dominated '70's rock music in terms of sheer numbers and popularity that there was nobody even remotely close. For just one example, during an extended period of time in the '70's, one out of every three records that massive Atlantic Records sold...was a Led Zeppelin album.
People talk about Page, Beck and Clapton being among the best guitarists of all time. The reason for this is due to their legacy and innovative style that marked the period of their heyday. I have seen some house guitarists who are virtually unknown and could play just as well as these three, if not better. But since they never hit it big, nobody knows who they are. They are anonymous. I f you heard Joe Blow play in a show and his guitaar blew you away, 2 weeks later he'd be forgotten.
its not only about playin the songs...its about creatin them also...if asylum had been a good band they would have created good songs..i dont know whether they made or not but i didnt hear and so did many ppl here..a good impersonator doesnt mean he is as good as the guy whom he is impersonating...those guitarists might be really good....but not creative enough i guess...
Jimmy Page knew how the record industry worked in the early '60s.He would not be manipulated by anyone.He and Manager Peter Grant set a standard,that the rest of the bands could soon follow. They would have in their contracts,artistic control.And when it came to touring,the band would take the biggest cut of ticket sales and merchandise. In Zeppelin's case,that meant 90% of the gate.Concert promoters were furious,but as Mgr.Grant said,10% of Led Zeppelin is better than 0% of nothing.
@biggthree1 if Page had gone onto bio research , I don't doubt that he may have cured cancer . He was certainly very successful in the field he chose ...
I give up. Maybe they weren't so Hot afterall. I'm no Speed metal fan, but I can appreciate a keen talent when i see it. I hate the NBA and I'm not a basketball fan, but I can appreciate athletic prowess at times. Does that help?
"The kids from the sticks". Birmingham, where Plant is from, is absolutely not to be referred to as the 'sticks', its one of England's most industrial cities. Where do they find this information? LMAO
You saw these house guitarists that impressed you so much that you thought that they were better than the greats. But they were so great you that didn't get their names? You were there, you would kow who these super players are. Tell us who they are so we can decide if you are right. You can't and you wont.
And if you can't name them, nobody here can decide if you are right. If they were that great, the masses would have known about them. Eddie was great in his hometown. No way would the world not known about him sooner or later. You draw the right people to you if you are an elite and soon others catch up. No way would a "great" be kept down by the "system". They would beat the system period. That's what makes them great. If someone is better than those you mention, we would know about it by now.
No, you don't get it. I DO see your point. And that is, those players were so good that *you* didn't even bother to know who they are. You made a weak point by counterdicting yourself by not being able to name these greater players. If they were that great, at least one person (yourself) would have known who they were by name. If you didn't bother to know their names, how/why would the masses? Those guys didn't even get *your* respect. The cream rises to the top, period.
Stop being a fanbot for one minute. You missed my point. It all has to do with opportunity and getting that one Golden Break every aspiring musician yearns for. They are many, maybe thousands of awesome guitarists that few know about because they don't have the connections. These poor saps who I saw years ago are an example of that.
But if this is so, then only you can tell us who these unknowns are that are better then Page, Beck and Clapton. Nobody knows who they are? Who are they exactly?
Biological Research?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a waste of talent that would have been! I wonder how many marine biologists are out there right now that should instead be in the RRHOF.
But YOU know them by your own statement. And YOU say they are better. So let us decide if you are right or wrong by telling us who these players are that are better. Prove your point. You say you know them, so prove it. I don't believe you can. Who are they in name?
You were impressed by "speed metal?" Ok, that says it all. Those "unknowns" were unknowns for a reason. By the way, I am no fan of Page or the others. Can't stand to hear them really.
Why i do keep watching these docs about led zeppelin even tough i already know their whole story? i just love 'em
Me to I love Zeppelin

Why do you watch it even thoough you have see their story through and through? Just in case there is one short clip or some spoken fact that you might not know!
Steven Tyler? lol never thought of him as a narrator
that too
Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan.
@tepeke88
Ha ha ... agreed. Kiss was more of a walking mass marketing campaign than a band.
@petegiant Well Plant grew up in Kidderminster and Bonham in Redditch....so it's not that far wrong!
"There was no drummer like John Bonham"
Keith Moon
It wasn't moon that gave them the name it was John entwisal
some bad white boys. damn they could play
is that steven tyler's voice? O.O
now I remember Steven Tyler
Peter Grant!!!
who's narrating this?
@zoso7889 Yes.
i thought jeff beck played on heart full of soul?
I don't remember names, but there was this house band i remember back in HS who played all types of Metal. Their name was 'Asylum'.

The narrators´ voice is 1:1 Steven Tylor......

it seems that my guitar skills are that of Jimmy with 8 years old or so:)
that is bonzo playing on hurdy gurdy man!
I have seen the clip with Jimmy and the skiffle band many times, does anyone else wonder who the other guitarist was and what became of him? Lol
@imbluz What?
dont worry, found it :P
Estaria de poca si narraran en espanol la biografia
People talk about Page, Beck and Clapton being among the best guitarists of all time. The reason for this is due to their legacy and innovative style that marked the period of their heyday. I have seen some house guitarists who are virtually unknown and could play just as well as these three, if not better. But since they never hit it big, nobody knows who they are. They are anonymous. I f you heard Joe Blow play in a show and his guitaar blew you away, 2 weeks later he'd be forgotten.
At 1:02 in, I have that record.
Jimmy Page on bass? OH SHIT THAT'S A CRIME! LOL
Watch the full documentary here
www.myvideo.ge/v/944006
What's a skiffle?
Plant and Bonham were from the 'north country'...That'll be the Midlands then...
its not only about playin the songs...its about creatin them also...if asylum had been a good band they would have created good songs..i dont know whether they made or not but i didnt hear and so did many ppl here..a good impersonator doesnt mean he is as good as the guy whom he is impersonating...those guitarists might be really good....but not creative enough i guess...
Lol I wonder why the Yardbird's old manager warned Grant about Jimmy. How was he a troublemaker?
Jimmy Page knew how the record industry worked in the early '60s.He would not be manipulated by anyone.He and Manager Peter Grant set a standard,that the rest of the bands could soon follow.
They would have in their contracts,artistic control.And when it came to touring,the band would take the biggest cut of ticket sales and merchandise.

Paige said he wanted to research cancer glad he stuck with music.
"Biological research"
That's cute
what zeppelin does to me
@zoso7889 my very first thought when the video started xD
"The kids from the sticks". Birmingham, where Plant is from, is absolutely not to be referred to as the 'sticks', its one of England's most industrial cities. Where do they find this information? LMAO
Folios
Jimmy did biological research, alright -- just ask the hordes of groupies ;o)
Yeah...female biology
Gerard D dope
You saw these house guitarists that impressed you so much that you thought that they were better than the greats. But they were so great you that didn't get their names? You were there, you would kow who these super players are. Tell us who they are so we can decide if you are right. You can't and you wont.
well neither the Stones or Led Zeppelin have made a good record in 30 yrs . But at least Zeppelin has an excuse !
He eventually did study biology didn't he?
they paid a terrible price ???
And if you can't name them, nobody here can decide if you are right. If they were that great, the masses would have known about them. Eddie was great in his hometown. No way would the world not known about him sooner or later. You draw the right people to you if you are an elite and soon others catch up. No way would a "great" be kept down by the "system".

@TheRealTobobias people who like that rap shit that aint even music led zeppelin is music
No, you don't get it. I DO see your point. And that is, those players were so good that *you* didn't even bother to know who they are.

But if this is so, then only you can tell us who these unknowns are that are better then Page, Beck and Clapton. Nobody knows who they are? Who are they exactly?
Ok, so no way are they as good as Page etc. I knew it.
drugs
Biological Research?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a waste of talent that would have been! I wonder how many marine biologists are out there right now that should instead be in the RRHOF.
@traxxas1234567890 HAHAHAHA!!! oh....thanks for that laugh. "KISS was much better"...hilarious. You should be a comedian.
But YOU know them by your own statement. And YOU say they are better. So let us decide if you are right or wrong by telling us who these players are that are better. Prove your point. You say you know them, so prove it. I don't believe you can. Who are they in name?
You were impressed by "speed metal?" Ok, that says it all. Those "unknowns" were unknowns for a reason. By the way, I am no fan of Page or the others. Can't stand to hear them really.
That's my point. These guys are nobody's. And no one will remember or care to remember, because they never in a successful band.
does anyone know the name of the song at 2:12
"over under sideways down" by the yardbirds
Paige said he wanted to research cancer glad he stuck with music.
