led zeppelin comeback, fans battle warner bros records

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Cnet reports today that as fast as Led Zeppelin fans posted their cell phone videos to YouTube the band’s label, Warner Bros Records, demanded that they be removed.

It was roughly August 1997 and I ran straight into the radio promotions rep of Capitol Records [who shall remain nameless.] I grabbed his hand and shook [...]
