LeD ZEPPELIN

BIOGRAFIA
Em meados do ano de 1968 o rock passava por um perodo de mudanas
fundamentais... o descompromisso do incio dos anos 60 passava a dar espao
a msicas e letras mais elaboradas, representados entre outros pela banda
Yardbirds, de Eric Clapton e Jeff Beck. Nesta poca James Patrick Page era um
guitarrista de sesso que j havia gravado com os Rolling Stones, The Who,
Pretty Things, entre outros e foi chamado para substituir Eric Clapton quando
este abandonou os Yardbirds (Eric Clapton viria mais tarde a formar os Cream).
Foi a primeira vez que Page participou numa banda de renome... mas o que
viria depois iria ser muito mais importante...
No final de 1968 a banda Yardbirds desfez-se e Page trata de montar um novo
grupo. Um amigo leva-o a procurar Robert Plant, vocalista da pequena Band of
Joy. Da Band of Joy vem tambm o baterista, John Bonham. Juntamente com
Chris Deja. A banda resolve chamar-se New Yardbirds. O baixista Chris Deja
no se encaixa no som da banda e logo substitudo por John Paul Jones,
tambm msico de sesso, que j havia gravado entre outros com os Rolling

Stones. Jones chegou ao New Yardbirds atravs de um anncio publicado numa

revista de msica.
Obviamente o nome New Yardbirds no agradava. O baterista dos the Who,
Keith Moon, achou que a banda de Page era pesada e voava, e sugeriu o nome
Lead Zeppelin (Zeppelin de Chumbo). Mais tarde o nome foi mudado para Led
Zeppelin a fim de que os norte-americanos no tivessem problemas com a
pronncia.
No incio de 1969 a banda grava o seu primeiro disco, auto intitulado Led
Zeppelin. O som era bastante original... com razes bvias nos blues, mas
pesado de uma maneira geral. Agradou ao pblico, embora a crtica inglesa os
tenha criticado muito. O destaque era a msica Dazed and Confused, em que
Page solava a sua guitarra com um arco de violino. Uma tourne americana
seguiu-se ao disco. Seria a prova de fogo para a banda. Comearam a tourne
a fazer primeiras partes para bandas maiores e terminaram como atraco
principal dos shows.
O primeiro disco j havia levado a banda aos tops em todo o mundo, apesar de
no terem sido lanados singles (isso revolucionaria o mercado musical dali
para a frente, pois passou-se a considerar mais importante cada disco como um
todo ao invs de lanar as msicas separadamente em singles). Sem
interromper as tournes a banda gravou ainda em 1969 o segundo lbum. Led
Zeppelin II foi um sucesso de vendas ainda maior. Whole Lotta Love tornou-se
o primeiro grande hit da banda. Apesar de ser uma banda inglesa, s com o
segundo disco a banda foi aceite na sua terra natal e chegou a destronar
os Beatles no gosto da crtica.
Em 1970 a banda tirou "frias" dos shows e encerrou-se numa cabana na
Esccia para gravar e compor o lbum mais acstico dos Led Zeppelin. O nome
da cabana era Bron-Y-Aur, que viria a tornar-se uma das msicas do disco. O
disco Led Zeppelin III deixava claras as razes da banda nos blues e na msica
folclrica celta. O disco foi sem sombra de dvidas diferente, mostrando muita
musicalidade da banda, mas sem a emoo forte que era a sua caracterstica.
Foi um fracasso de vendas. Os shows da banda tinham-se tornado verdadeiras

demonstraes de resistncia. Os improvisos que se seguiam a Dazed and

Confused chegavam a durar mais de 45 minutos.
Em 1971 sairia o divisor de guas da carreira dos Led Zeppelin, o lbum sem
ttulo, comummente chamado de Led Zeppelin IV. Entre outras msicas
destacou-se Stairway to Heaven, o rock mais executado e conhecido de
todos os tempos (apesar de no ter sido lanado em single). Stairway to
Heaven era uma mistura nica de msica acstica e rock pesado. A msica
Rock and Roll passou a ser a abertura dos shows da banda. O sucesso deste
lbum foi to grande que mentes doentes chegaram a cogitar haver um pacto
satnico da banda que haveria vendido as suas almas em troca da fama.
Em 1973 o lbum Houses of The Holy decepcionou aos que esperavam outras
msicas como Stairway to Heaven. Era um lbum mais denso e difcil de ser
ouvido. A banda neste disco adoptou influncias de soul e reggae como pode
ser facilmente observado na faixa Dyer Maker. Parte do pblico detestou. A
msica The Song Remains the Same viria a ser o ttulo do vdeo sobre a banda.
De uma forma ou de outra os Led Zeppelin continuavam a esgotar estdios ao
redor do mundo e a vender discos como nenhuma outra banda de rock na
poca.
Em 1975 sai o lbum duplo Physical Graffiti, um lbum disperso e extenso
demais. A nica faixa a adicionar algo sonoridade dos Led Zeppelin foi
Kashmir, que se tornaria uma das marcas registradas da banda. Logo aps o
lanamento de Physical Graffiti um acidente de carro com Robert Plant levou a
banda a frias foradas durante mais de um ano, pelo meio os boatos de
dissoluo.
O lbum Presence, lanado em 1976 um reflexo da fase m por que
passavam os Led Zeppelin. Nenhuma msica se destacava. O cenrio do rock
mudava com o punk e os Led Zeppelin no conseguiam mostrar criatividade. No
meio da tourne que se segue, um novo acidente, a morte do filho de Plant,
leva a banda a parar novamente. Neste intervalo foi lanado o vdeo The Song
Remains the Same.

Em 1978 o lbum In Through the Out Door marcou o regresso dos Led
Zeppelin aos estdios e tambm aos palcos. Apesar da falta de novidades, a
banda continuava a maior do mundo. Aps uma reunio de planeamento da
tourne americana, na casa de Jimmy Page, em 1980, o baterista John Bonham
morre sozinho num quarto, em virtude de uma overdose de lcool. A deciso
de acabar com a banda foi aceite por todos os restantes membros.
A partir dessa altura os Zeppelin apenas se vm juntando em ocasies especiais
para concertos nicos como nos casos do Live Aid ou do 25 Aniversrio da
Editora Atlantic. So no entanto, ainda hoje, considerados uma das maiores
bandas de msica de todos os tempos.
