Name Origin
Back in May 1966, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, fellow Yardbirds guitarist, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon recorded an instrumental of “Beck’s Bolero.” They loved the recording so much they joked about forming some sort of supergroup. Apparently, Keith Moon said the potential band would go over like a lead balloon. Then, Entwistle joked, adding, “a lead zeppelin!” That’s the alleged story, and then they decided to change it from lead to led so Americans could pronounce it properly.
