Led Zeppelin Trivia 8


The band was originally formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page under the name "the New Yardbirds" in order to fulfill some performance commitments booked before the break up of the original Yardbirds.

After the initial remaining concerts as the New yardbirds, the band's name was changed to Led Zeppelin after Keith Moon, drummer with The Who, suggested they would "go over like a lead balloon".

When Led Zeppelin I came out on January 12,1969, it only took two months for it to catch on like wildfire. The album jumped to the top of the charts and Led Zeppelin went on to be one of the most popular and influential rock bands of the 1970s.
