Led Zeppelin’s lawyers have offered a boasting response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of the late Randy California, claiming that Zep filched elements of his Spirit song, “Taurus.” California’s estate claims that the two toured together in the late 1960s, during which time Zeppelin heard “Taurus” and appropriated parts of it for “Stairway to Heaven.” “Defendants admit that Led Zeppelin has been called one of the greatest bands in history and its members were and are exceptionally talented,” was Zep’s response to the allegations. “Otherwise (they) deny each and every allegation contained in paragraph 11 of the First Amended Complaint,” the filing also stated. Previous suits against Zeppelin have altered songwriting credits for “Whole Lotta Love,” “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You,” “The Lemon Song” and “Dazed and Confused.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com.
