Beck and page had already played in the yardbirds together, and had been friends since they were young teenagers. So of course there was some cross influencing going on.
I love The Jeff Beck Group, and they were an undeniable influence on Zeppelin. I know Beck for sure was irritated that they did "You Shook Me". I just have a feeling they might have been pissed upon hearing about it, but after actually hearing it, thought: "Oh...Maybe it would be better if we just didn't say anything"...

It's all British blues, which came from American blues anyway. And the roots version was getting little recognition here at home. These bands all intermingled with one another. Musicians exchanged rifts and techniques and covered the same songs.
Love Rod. Class
Rod, in his blues avatar was as good as any other singer but his voice was always his distinctive asset. I love Ledzep but Rod was extraordinary with Beck. He reinvented himself and had a better career than his contemporaries in the 80s with absolutely new generation of fans.

Actually, when you listen to those first two JBG albums, Truth and Beck-Ola, they have a similar format, but are very different to Zep I &II, both bands were on a different mission. Beck quickly moved away from the kind of rock Theater that Page crafted. Apples and Oranges to me.

That might be the dumbest question, Howard has ever asked, who's better? Jeff Beck is considered by many as the greatest guitarist to ever walk the earth, Ron wood, isn't even in the same zip code, the late, great Mr. Beck, could probably play a better solo with his toes.

OMG - if the Jeff Beck Group could have ever sounded as good as Zeppelin they would have been as big as Zeppelin. Just being a great guitarist doesn't mean you make great original or cover songs. And Zeppelin had a rhythm section rivaled by no other band. A lot of people don't realize how much John Paul Jones added to the total sound.

That’s why Becks group lasted a year or two cream 3 maybe. How did Zeppelin make it for 12 years without Beck and cream to steel from . Plant and Page copied everyone. Sad .
Stern, always trying to stir shit up and get an exclusive reaction.
every band singer has an inspiration but not necesary to copy but when you copy you mean to rewrite all song and harmony can you copy the oroginal voice of robert plant is the lyric the same if jimmy page hit some same notes its not neccerarily a copy because guitar playing almost entirely same sound because almost almost all bamd used same sme instrument and use abcd eg chords
Rod looks yellow and Howard seems kind of the s as me.
Beck and Page were both kind of following the ideas set forth by Cream, except Beck and Page couldn't do the lead vocals.
