I know those pics
I just saw on the news that a band named Spirit...is claiming Led Zeppelin stole the opening riff to Stairway to Heaven from them...really?
Yup.... It happens all the time. Just like Jethro Tull said the Eagles stole the opening riff to HC from one of their songs.
You can only write a riff so many times before similarities and parts of it are used again.
I've never heard of Spirit. To me it sounds like a case of them wanting/needing public attention. Attention whoring as they call it...

Yes, it's that Randy California and Spirit. Definitely worth a listen.
