"Part of the band's collective genius was that they could quote a favorite old song, and then adrenalize it and turn it into something new. John Bonham, for example, transformed the drum beat from Little Richard's "Keep a Knockin'" into the motor behind "Rock & Roll." For better and worse, beats aren't protected by copyright, while melodies and lyrics are – which is why so many songwriters have sued the band. As with most aspects of their career, Led Zeppelin seemed to operate on the principle that it was better to ask for forgiveness than permission."

I’ve seen Dread Zeppelin and several Led Zeppelin cover bands. The bead covers were much better than the Zeppelin cover bands.
