TAPE 14 EARLY METAL ART ROCK
from the album (Led Zeppelin IV) biggest-selling single piece of sheet music clocking up an average of 15,000 copies yearly. Stairway To Heaven – Led Zeppelin 1971
Stairway Trivia • It also continues to top radio lists of the greatest rock songs • During live performances of their song Tribute, Tenacious D often plays the song with bits and pieces of guitar riffs and chord progressions from Stairway to Heaven. Also, they often sing the last few words of the song similarly to how the end of Stairway to Heaven is sung.
More Stairway Trivia • Critics of rock and roll songs (and of Led Zeppelin in particular) have alleged[13] that a backward message is recorded into "Stairway to Heaven." The message, which allegedly occurs during the middle section of the song ("If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now..."), is purported to contain Satanic references: • “Oh here's to my sweet Satan.The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan.He will give those with him 666.There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.” • – Most popular version of the lyrics to Stairway to Heaven played backwards
Title track from the album 1968 A commonly repeated story says that the song's title was originally "In the Garden of Eden" or "In the Garden of Venus" but in the course of rehearsing and recording singer Doug Ingle slurred the words into the nonsense phrase of the title while under the influence of LSD. However, the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation state that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and couldn't hear correctly; he simply distorted what Doug Ingle answered when Ron asked him for the title of the song (which was originally In-The-Garden-Of-Venus). In A Gadda-Da Vida – Iron Butterfly
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Trivia • The song features a memorable guitar and bassriff which functions as an ostinato repeated for almost the entire length of the song. • The song is significant in rock history because, together with Blue Cheer and Steppenwolf, it marks the point when psychedelic music produced heavy metal. Later 1970s heavy metal and progressive rock acts like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin owe much of their sound, and even more of their live acts, to this recording. In 1987, thrash metal band Slayer, covered this song on the soundtrack of Less Than Zero.
