led zeppelin?

Question: what does that mean Yeah, the name. Thank you all!

Answer: The name? From The Who drummer Keith Moon, who said that the group would take off like a "lead zeppelin". (A zeppelin is an airship - a huge lemon-shaped (usually) balloon that's used to carry people and things). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeppelin So, he was saying that the group would not succeed. ("Lead" is a very heavy substance, so a ""lead zeppelin" would never be able to fly.) Later the spelling was changed to "Led". Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin#The_early_days_.281968.E2.80.931970.29
