Robert Plant addressed the issue in an interview with Musician magazine: "'Stairway To Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music. It's really sad. The first time I heard it was early in the morning when I was living at home, and I heard it on a news program. I was absolutely drained all day. I walked around, and I couldn't actually believe, I couldn't take people seriously who could come up with sketches like that.
There are a lot of people who are making money there, and if that's the way they need to do it, then do it without my lyrics. I cherish them far too much. This runs , but still became one of the most-played songs on American radio, proving that people wouldn't tune out just because a song was long. It was a perfect fit for FM radio, which was a newer format challenging the established AM with better sound quality and more variety. By most measures, it is the most-played song in the history of American FM radio.
It has also sold more sheet music than any other rock song - about 10, to 15, copies a year, and more than one million total. Jimmy Page has a strong affinity for this song, and felt Robert Plant's lyrics were his best yet. He had him write all of Zeppelin's lyrics from then on. Page replied: "To me, I thought 'Stairway' crystallized the essence of the band.
It had everything there and showed the band at its best Not talking about solos or anything, it had everything there. We were careful never to release it as a single. It was a milestone for us. Every musician wants to do something of lasting quality, something which will hold up for a long time and I guess we did it with 'Stairway. I don't know whether I have the ability to come up with more. I have to do a lot of hard work before I can get anywhere near those stages of consistent, total brilliance.
Many novice guitarists try to learn this song, and most end up messing it up. In the movie Wayne's World , it is banned in the guitar shop where Wayne Mike Myers starts playing it. If you saw the movie in theaters, you heard Wayne play the first few notes of the song before being scolded and pointed to a sign that says "NO Stairway To Heaven" Wayne: "No Stairway. Because of legal issues - apparently even a few notes of "Stairway To Heaven" have to be cleared, and good luck with that - the video and TV releases of the movie were changed so Wayne plays something incomprehensible.
Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones decided not to use a bass on this because it sounded like a folk song. Instead, he added a string section, keyboards and flutes.
He also played wooden recorders that were used on the intro. Bonham's drums do not come in until Robert Plant is a great admirer of all things mystic, the old English legends and lore and the writings of the Celts.
The Tolkien inspiration can be heard in the phrase, "In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees," which could be a reference to the smoke rings blown by the wizard Gandalf. There is also a correlation between the lady in the song and the character from the book, Lady Galadriel, the Queen of Elves who lives in the golden forest of Lothlorien.
In the book, all that glittered around her was in fact gold, as the leaves of the trees in the forest of Lothlorien were golden. Dolly Parton covered this on her album Halos and Horns - Robert Plant said he liked her version. Neil Sedaka had an unrelated Top 10 hit with the same title in Many critics trashed this song when it came out: Lester Bangs described it as "a thicket of misbegotten mush, and the British music magazine Sounds said it induced "first boredom and then catatonia.
They were viewed as shallow, pretentious, and representative of the kind of excess that offended the anti-materialistic consciousness that so much of the era's music and music press stood against ostensibly, at least. In , Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant told Q that he understood the criticisms: "If you absolutely hated 'Stairway to Heaven,' no one can blame you for that because it was so pompous.
Led Zeppelin played this for the first time in Belfast on March 5, - Northern Ireland was a war zone at the time and there was rioting in nearby streets. John Paul Jones said in an audio documentary that when they played it, the audience was not that impressed.
They wanted to hear something they knew - like " Whole Lotta Love. The writer researches and then submits your paper. The paper is then sent for editing to our qualified editors.
