Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin is another one of those awesome bands. The lead singer is Robert Plant. The guitarist is Jimmy Page, who inspired Alex Lifeson from Rush to be a singer. The bassist is John Paul Jones. And the drummer is John "Bonzo" Bonaham. At the beginning it was Jimmy Page who was in a band before Led Zeppelin formed, called the Yardbirds. But they weren't very popular.by the way all of these guys are English, as in from England. And they weren’t very popular in England but they were very popular in America. So eventually Page left the Yardbirds and formed a band with Jones, Bonham, and Plant. But they couldn’t think of a name. You want to know who gave them the idea for their name. Why none other than Keith Moon from the Who. They were talking about the new band that at first was called the New Yardbirds. And they were planning on having a big concert. And Keith Moon said that –“this is gonna go down like a lead zeppelin.” So all Page did was take out the “a” and he had a new band name-Led Zeppelin.  When they first started out in England they weren’t that popular. But when they hit    America-                                                                                                                                                      BAM!!! They became super stars. And everything was great. Until Bonzo died from overdose of Alcohol.
