1. While Robert Plant does cite as influences a number of elder blues singers, in the quietude of his own home he often admitted to his closest friends and family that his true inspiration came from the sound of a crow passing a stone outside his window from his childhood.
2. It is a well known fact that John Bonham played the drums with a great deal of force. However, until now no one really knew how he kept his drums in place while they underwent the maelstrom of blows they had to endure each night. It turns out that when they could find nothing that would work, they contacted a secret department of the United States government called ERS, short for Epoxy Research Services. Apparently they had been developing a super secret and super powerful glue that was meant to glue Communist tanks together making them useless. However, in the name of rock n' roll, they gave some of this glue to John Bonham to glue his drumset in place.
3. Sadly, none of the members of Led Zeppelin could read.
4. John Paul Jones was born with a forked tongue.
5. Once while in the US Jimmy Page ate 14 hamburgers in under 30 minutes.
6. John Bonham did not have three arms, he did however have three nipples.
7. While Led Zeppelin did enjoy parties from time to time, they were actually quite reserved young fellows and typically enjoyed board games and televisions. In fact Jimmy Page is the reigining Parchesi champion in London.
8. Apparently in the stories in past biographies where Led Zeppelin is said to have ordered numerous hookers to their rooms at once the word "hooker" was in fact switched out for the word "waffle."
