Mr. DAVIS: So when it was time a few years later to form Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page was in a hurry for material. He didn't have time to write a lot of new material, so they decided to appropriate, as it were, a lot of old blues songs and take credit for them, and that's pretty much the first two Led Zeppelin albums.
CHIDEYA Seventies British band Led Zeppelin laid the foundation for an explosive style of rock and roll called heavy metal, but the rock superstars would ve been nothing without American blues. In 1995 Page and Plant were joined by Jones when the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, albeit the three former band-mates did not perform together.

This is the reason Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page was cursed by filmmaker Kenneth Anger
We’re digging deep into the Far Out Magazine vault to bring you a very odd story from the opus of legendary Led Zeppelin rock and roll stories, featuring the band’s lead guitarist Jimmy Page.
Led Zeppelin are a band riddled with the kind of rock and roll stories that would make Spinal Tap blush. In fact, in many ways, the band are usually the source of most rock and roll legends and tales. One story grabbed our attention and it takes a darker turn as we revisit the time Jimmy Page was cursed by iconoclastic filmmaker Kenneth Anger.
Page and Anger met when, in 1973, the duo crossed paths at a Sotheby’s auction where they were both bidding on a manuscript from writer Aleister Crowley. Page was a huge fan of Crowley and even went on to own the writer’s previous home known as Boleskine House in the misty hills of Scotland.
At that time Anger was currently working on a short film Lucifer Rising and was desperately in need of some music for the film. Having already worked on the film for nearly seven years the filmmaker was growing weary without a soundtrack. He duly asked his new pal Page, who at the time was one of the biggest recording artists in the world, if he could contribute to the project’s score. Page agreed and, according to some sources, even lent Anger editing equipment to use on the film.
The guitarist would go on to contribute up to 20 minutes of spine-tingling music to the film, the kind of music that makes you pray to Satan for salvation but Anger was left, well, quite angry and apparently disappointed with one of the greatest guitarist of all time.
Anger wanted 40 minutes of music and had a major falling out with Page over the lack of completion on the guitarist’s part. It went one step further when Charlotte Martin, Jimmy’s girlfriend, kicked him out of the basement in Boleskine, a space he’d been occupying with equipment.
Some years later, Anger would recall: “So Jimmy Page did some music instead. He’s a miser, which is a horrible thing. He wouldn’t even pay for lunch. So I said: ‘Isn’t it preposterous that you’re so cheap?’ And that, of course, insulted him. He was on heroin all the time – I hate all those druggies because their eyes get glazed and what they say is meaningless because they don’t follow through.”
“I said: ‘OK, Jimmy, I need exactly 40 minutes.’ But he only gave me 20. I said: ‘What am I supposed to do, play it twice? I need 40 minutes! I need a climax! Like, [the film] is the end and the beginning of the world – you’ve gotta give me that big music!’”
It led to Anger and Page really falling out, and in turn, Anger publicly cursing Page and his girlfriend Charlotte, apparently drawing on his occult leanings.
How successful the curse was on the multi-millionaire, highly regarded, guitar maestro is yet to be seen. Though many do attribute the bad luck which fell on Robert Plant as down to Anger’s curse.
According to Anger: “He’s a multi-millionaire miser. He and Charlotte, that horrible vampire girl… They had so many servants, yet they would never offer me a cup of tea or a sandwich. Which is such a mistake on their part because I put the curse of king Midas on them. If you’re greedy and just amass gold you’ll get an illness. So I did turn her and Jimmy Page into statues of gold because they’ve both lost their minds. He can’t write songs anymore.”
So one of the weirder stories you’ll hear today ends with a director cursing one of the greatest guitarists ever to have walked the earth. Safe to say, he probably can still write a tune or two Kenneth, like this one.
Mr. DAVIS: Well, Led Zeppelin is descended from one of the original London beat groups, the Yardbirds, who formed right after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

1. Jane - 1/5 stars - I had a terrible experience with Maagic door iv quality used books. The condition of the books I received was absolutely appalling. They were dirty, had torn pages, and some even had mold on them. It was clear that no effort was put into cleaning or inspecting the books before they were sold. I reached out to customer service to voice my concerns, but they were unhelpful and dismissive. I would highly recommend avoiding this bookstore if you value quality and actually want to read books in decent condition.
2. Mike - 2/5 stars - I was quite disappointed with my purchase from Maagic door iv quality used books. The description of the book I ordered indicated that it was in "good" condition, but it arrived with visible water damage and a strong musty smell. It was clear that the seller did not accurately assess the condition of the book before listing it. While the shipping was prompt, the lack of quality control is a major drawback. I expected a better experience for the price I paid and will not be purchasing from this seller again.
3. Sarah - 1/5 stars - Maagic door iv quality used books delivered me a complete disappointment. The book I ordered was listed as being in "like new" condition, but when it arrived it was far from it. The cover was creased, pages were heavily yellowed, and there were even scribbles on some of the pages. It was evident that the seller was not truthful in their description. The customer service was unresponsive, and I was left feeling cheated. I would strongly advise against purchasing from this seller if you want a book in good condition.
