You desreve to be called idiots to say Brian May stole a roiff from tenacious Z, you idiots. Really that is idiotic. I digress though, the riff is stolen from Led Zeppelin (I've come around to accept they're 110% better than Queen, Ten Years Gone is the best song ever written and there's no Queen song that comes close to matching it. I digress again, the song tit's stolen from is the Wanton somng.) link
Zeppelin is great buy you might want to listen again. The two riffs aren't that similar. As for Brian, you can only do so many riffs in the key of A before you start sounding like someone else. I'm still very impressed and I can't wait to hear the rest of the CD.

It's retarted to think that because you think that Queen is the best band ever that everyone else saying different is retarted.
Here's some news for you
The Who - Might be better
The Beatles - Might be better
Pink Floyd - Might be better
Is this the same Led Zeppelin who stole (and I do mean STOLE, not plaguerised a bit, or borrowed the odd riff, but whole chunks of music and lyrics) most of their most successful early music from old blues and folk songs that they thought nobody would know?!!!??
If you tell me that chimpanzees already sung that they wanted to be watched on TV I will begin to think about listening rap music instead...

You, the person who wrote the first part of this post is a fool. Led Zeppelin, and especially Jimmy fucking Page doesn't even deserve the privilege of lacing Queen's boots. Led Zeppelin was a very influential band. But they were essentially a studio band. The only real talent Zeppelin ever had was in their rhythm section. Robert Plant's singing sounds more like whining from a pre-pubescent girl. And Jimmy Page is a fucking sloppy lead guitarist. He's a great rhythm guitarist, and I love how unique his style of playing is. But he's a very sloppy lead player. And if there's anybody in rock 'n roll who people should go to first for stealing riffs. It's Led Zeppelin. Sorry, it's just true. Deal with it. This is a multi-instrumentalist speaking. I've been playing guitar for almost 7 years. Trust me on this one.

Ugh. A bunch of one liners that basically say 'I'm trying to pick a fight outside of my weight division'.
I'm with you on the rhythm section, and Jimmy Page's dodgy playing, but you're listening to the wrong recordings if you think Plant was consistently shit.
