With all the success that Guitar Hero and Rock Band have achieved, you won’t see Led Zeppelin’s classic tunes in either game any time soon, according to the Wall Street Journal.



Zeppelin lead guitarist Jimmy Page is not comfortable giving gaming companies access to the group’s master recordings a necessary step in adding the band to any game.

It’s disappointing that our young generation and older Zep heads won’t be ripping out some cool licks from the legends of Rock and Roll. There will be no Stairway or Since I’ve Been Loving You in any play lists any time soon.

Activision and Harmonix’s efforts to gain access to the band’s master tapes at least demonstrate that the companies have finally stopped relying on terrible covers when they’re unable to get the original tune.

Come on Zeppelin! Share the music with your dedicated and long time fans, it’s the least you can do.
