Sounds like Sour Grapes to me. In my opinion the majority of these other Musicians are so completely self-absorbed and are complete legends in their own minds. They were just jealous of the huge success of The Mighty Zeppelin. The fans understood them and appreciated the variety of musical styles that they incorporated into their repertoire. And they performed to massive audiences and changed the way that bands were compensated for their concerts. before them the bands received a cut of the gate, and the promoters made the higher profits. Their music sounds as fresh and vibrant to this day as it did when it was first recorded. Criticizing them calling them boring and sloppy and immature. That is about as a moronic of a comment. that you can say about this band.

I don't think PF or Roger Waters have any real reason to be jealous, vindictative, or nasty in their musical aspirations towards Zeppelin, simply because both bands' musical styles, image, lyrical and album themes were so radically different from one another. In terms of actual accomplished musicianship, Zeppelin wins over PF, big time, Waters is no musical genius, or savant and I think the fact that Page, Bonham, and JPJ's skills on-stage, and in-studio blow him in the Thames every time. David Gilmour, FWIW, is the closest thing to being a natural, pure musician in PF. PF, however does beat Zep's brains in when it comes to depth, talent, focus and intelligence in terms of song-writing. Pink Floyd released 3 legendary albums in the 1970's based around strong lyrical themes and concepts, thats their super-power. Musically, on-stage, PF are likely a better, free-form psychedelic band in that they could play, and improvise odd, peculiar time signatures with songs in a way that Zeppelin wouldn't do. Crosby and Joni Mitchell's views strike me as two, old embittered hippies whose mindsets and tastes never really evolved and I don't think they or their generation ever understood the rise of hard rock, heavy metal bands from the late 60's onwards. Gene Simmons once said that rock and roll, for the longest time was long and boring, and when he and his brother would travel to S.F. and see a lot of underground, S.F. hippy bands like the Dead, Airplane, and Quicksilver, they would often literally turn their backs to the audiences while jamming on-stage, Gene sort of found that insulting as it was wasting his time. Zeppelin was a band that represented a philosophy in rock music that was moving away from that. Not just them, but also Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple.

In terms of "freaky", free-form, long, psychedelic jams interposed with weird, odd improvisations, peculiar time signatures in "Interstellar Overdrive", " Reaction in G", "Astronomy Domine", I don't know if Zeppelin could match some of the insanity, chaotic musical nature of some of PF's early live recordings at London's underground " UFO" club where sometimes you didnt know what kind of songs, instrumentals, or music Floyd would put out in their early days with Syd from late 66-early 68. "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" in a way, is sort of PF's "Dazed and Confused". Also, taking into consideration, Pink Floyd had 4 albums in the 1970's and early 80's that in some areas, outsold Zeppelin, I don't think Waters' comments come necessarily from a place of jealousy. Waters has always been and still is a very outspoken, opinionated musician (he's a life-long socialist who's political views are more left-wing than most Democrats) and lately, some of these views have gotten him into trouble or he's been labeled an anti-semite. He's difficult, arrogant, very brazen personality, some people upon meeting him might feel tempted to punch him in the face and more then likely Robert P!ant and Jimmy Page are a lot nicer people to meet, Ive been told some stories about how generous, approachable, and friendly Plant is. Page and P!ant know their musical legacies are secure, they make music now because they like it and its in their collective blood, it's fun and enjoyable and if one isn't having fun or enjoying themselves making or composing music, then there in the wrong industry.

Speaking of Grant they were all probably jealous of zep having Grant. They all were also probably jealous about the better money Grant got zep vs all the money their managers didn't get them. Best band ever with the best manager.

It always amazed me that when The Zeppellin flew off and left other musucians still at the ticket gate they always had shots to supply. I find it ironic that when my friends in the Blues from Chicago take there hats off to Jimmy Page and there record sales always seemed to lack far behing that of Led Zeppelin. So to sum it up it seems to me that when you are the best there is everyone hated being rated as less and it is quite simple actually looking up to Zeppelin seemed to shadow all that could neve fly like my mates. The best band that ever was period!

Eric Burdon was another who didn't like LZ-Hey They ROCKED -bottom line---too much Jealousey

I think what they were really saying is that they are jealous because Zeppelin's music is (still) always on the air... the other guys no so much....

No one should ever care about "rock stars" who didn't like Zeppelin. The Zep had four musicians who were MUSICIANS. And they wrote outstanding, imaginative songs. Hey, if you learn to play a few of Page's guitar songs, then you will know what rock'n'roll really is. :-)

i love ALL those musicians...but i find it weird the criticism from them. I think its just jealousy. Zep had more range than most of those bands.

Compare that against Jagger, Richards, and Townsend, who've been on their greatest-hits tours for the last 30+ years, playing the same stuff the same way, over and over. Like pathetic old men who peaked in their 30's. Similar with Waters, when he's performing his political speeches disguised as concerts.

Zeppelin as a band influenced more musicians, Zeppelin as individuals influenced more musicians, Zeppelin in the studio lol influenced more musicians, producers and engineers than any other band(s.) What Led Zeppelin did in that time, era, and those particular years they were together considering the technology at the time is basically beyond belief! Albums like Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, Presence, oh and IV, just to name a few; whether you listen to said albums today or a thousand years from now - those songs will not only move and influence the next generations of people/musicians, they `will stand the test of time. Personally listening on head phones to said albums, the sound and the overdubs for that period of time was just down right genius!

If a band isn’t hated by at least a few of their peers, then they’re not producing any music worth listening to.

I would tell every one of them "Stairway to Heaven" is better than anything you have EVER done. Hands down the greatest song in the history of Rock and Roll.

Except Dylan wrote so many song covered and made into hits by other artists. I wouldn't say Stairway is better that all of the songs Dylan wrote, he was a master, Plant wasn't, you can't stand him on one song.

It's all down to personal opinions, and for me Stairway isn't even the best song on LZ4! A great song and all time classic nonetheless, but there are several better Zep songs out there, i.e. Battle of Evermore, Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, No quarter.

I don't like ANY of those "rock stars" who didn't like Zeppelin...my favorite band ever!!

JPJ: People didn't understand what we were trying to do..."

Jealousy is the key word here... They knew Zepp were an enigma, and rolled out of the gate and people loved them.

I have yet to hear a god darn thing Dylan has written that I xan tolerate.

To each his own

None of these Led Zep detractors whilst great in their own right had their range, creativity, subtlety, power, virtuosity, and technical brilliance. Led Zep traversed multiple genres, sometimes in one song. They were simply unique with unrivalled brilliance, and perhaps that is the real gripe with these famous critics

As a LZ fan who sees them as nearly untouchable, it's intriguing to hear negative evaluations by other prominent rock stars (except for Joni Mitchel's, whose comment is too trendy for me). Keeps me grounded.

Just measure their careers in terms of time span and money made against other musician. Measured against others in the decade they were together, their truly creative inspirational music, and sold out concerts. They were head and shoulders above the rest. Envy and Jealousy is a huge factor with many musicians. All of the menbers made trail blazing contributions. But Jimmy Page's studio genius and guitar work made the difference.

I guess it comes down to a matter of taste in music. That's why there's so much variety as a whole. Like this person says, just ax around.

I also heard that Jim Morrison and Duane Allman didn't like Led Zeppelin as well.

Having just finished Pattie Boyd's autobiography of her life with Eric Clapton, I wouldn't take to much of what he thinks as amongst other things he thought he should have been in the Beatles and Pattie Boyd comments that she thinks in retro' he went after her because she was married to George Harrison. Keith Richards, yes, well many think, and I would agree, from things I have read, that Keith Richards was jealous of Mick Taylor because he was a better, more natural, guitar player and he couldn't live with him in the Stones. As for the others...well

Perhaps it’s jealousy. Clapton didn’t have the range, the power, the virtuosity, the technical brilliance, the energy, and creativity of Page. Neither did the old druggie Keith Richards

Page was at best an honest player that's what made him who he is hate him and like him at the same time that's the way it will always be

Jealousy makes ya say crazy things.

:) I think you could also add Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.

Led Zeppelin fueron una banda avanzada Un disco de los Zeppelin no me aburre y uno de los rollings si, salvo dos canciones. Cream, desapareció y quien habla de ellos ahora. Waters....ya sabemos com es. Total Led Zeppelin una banda indiscutible grande, y legendaria

the people that put them down are the ones who wish had their fame and fortune.

WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT THEY SAY, THEY CAN'T EVEN COME CLOSE. END OF STORY!!!!!! LED ZEPPELIN LEGENDS. 🥃🎸🥁

I'm a Zeppelin fan, but I agree, they are loud. At the time of their popularity, Loud was fabulous to me! I still listen to their music and I am 67 years old. The lyrics may be immature to some, but we have to remember a boy of around 20 years old wrote many of them. Looking back, I think he did a decent job for someone with minimal life experience. Sometimes a bit deeper than I'd have expected. .

One of the greatest Rick bands ever - such a talented bunch of musicians.

LED ZEPPELIN was better than all the bands that did not like them

Zeppelin is amazing. Those criticizing them have sour grapes imo

Guessing that a lot of theses musicians comments stem from jealousy. Zep sold so many albums. They were insanely popular in the US. Plus their music IS timeless,

Theres no doubt that Led Zep was influenced by R&B greats and legends. I think thats why I love and appreciate their style of music. And how many bands of later, have been influenced by Led. Music historically has always had some sort on influence from previous music and musicians. What did members of Led listen to growing up, and how many bands listened to Led. Looks like most of these musicians in this video are jealous of the Led Zeppelin moniker. Led Zeppelin will always have followers for generations to come. Some where some kid is listening to their grandparents Led Zeppelin albums. I wish i could have seen them live in concert

Most of these bands and singers shouldn’t comment. They will always be in the shadow of the mighty LED ZEPPELIN!

@@roboparks Zeppelin are more than just a Hardrock band. A traditional hardrock band would be Aerosmith, gnr etc. Zeppelin were Zeppelin, They explored every territory From the valleys of Kashmir to over the hills far away, climbing the Stairway to heaven.

In Britain a lot of established acts that built a legacy and a following through the sixties and the music press that documented them resented Led Zeppelin for seemingly bursting on to the scene out of nowhere at the end of the sixties and having what looked like an instant success. All the plagiarism they were doing on their early stuff was easy ammunition for people to attack them with also. Over time though, Led Zeppelin carved their own niche and built their own legacy. They won the long game.

The title of this should be; "What Jealousy Looks Like."

Everyone is entitled to be wrong. And I might also add jealousy can blind people to the truth. I don't say one band is the best over all others but Led Zeppelin is on the top shelf.

All valid criticisms of Led Zeppelin. I couldn't agree more. On the other hand what are you supposed to do with "Black Dog" and several other of their landmark works? Ignore them? Sometimes you get a yen to hear them again. I can't believe that their critics don't get those yens too.

"When axed about them" YIKES
