Yea, caught me off guard as well..
Not sure what music he stole either, but I don't really study music, I just listen to it.
I mean, tons of artists remake old songs all the time. One of my favorite Hendrix songs is a Bob Dylan cover.
as I'm typing this "The Ocean' by LZ comes on my pandora station. Don't tell me Jimmy Page isn't the fucking man
I see what he means now. Zep copied a few licks/lyrics from Muddy Waters and stuff.
But here's the thing. Blues artists copies off each other all the time. I mean shit, one of Aerosmiths biggest songs main riff is from an old Taj Mahal song. Didn't get sued at all. Infact, I believe he thanked them for giving it new light.
Lyrics are pretty typical in all blues music too. "Oh well I lost this girl", "she loved me a lot", etc. Well actually, typical in all music when I really think of it.
Jimmy Page is still second to Hendrix in the innovative department. Zeppy, Deep Purple and Aerosmith made Hard Rock.
