Jimmy Page was chatting with some blokes about his new band, The New Yardbirds, and wanted to have another name for them. Kieth Moon - the drummer of The Who - told Jimmy his new band would go over like a lead zeppelin...believing it wouldn't fly. Jimmy loved the term and took it to heart, but changed the word 'lead' to 'Led', so people wouldn't think it was 'Lead (rhymes with feed) Zeppelin'. Well, Keith Moon was wrong, because within a year, Led Zeppelin had become the largest rock band on the planet...they did fly after all!

I recently read that John Entwistle (bassist for The Who) has always laid claim to coming up with that quote, "...like a lead zeppelin", but Page and Jones, who were both present, still say it was Kieth Moon's words...a lil battle within the depths of rock-n-roll!

Actually, Led Zeppelin got their name by chance, they get the idea from Who, the only thing that they thought that they could lead all the world with their songs. Jimmy Page once quoted "We coul call The Vegetables. Led Zeppelin dont mean a thing!"

Actually, there is not relation with that they won't "fly". Jimmy Page was chatting once with Entwistle and Keith Moon and they said that they were all waiting for a banda that could lead the way for musicians and fans all over the world, those guy were the New Yardbirds. But they split, and Page said the idea for a blond lad called Robert Plant that liked it, and then, they just change the verb from Lead to Led and then, they had the name of one (if not THE) greatest bands in the history!

I bought a series of Led Zeppelin comics back in the early 90's that I had to unfortunately later sell because I was hurting for money. In one of these comics (which were set up as a chronological history of the band) it was stated that 3 other names that the band was considering using were: (1) The Bad Dogs, (2) The Mad Gods, and (3) Whoopie Cushion. I did some poking around the internet and found references to these 3, so it might actually be true.
