Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson Calls Soundgarden Led Zeppelin of 90s

Led Zeppelin's legacy continues to be celebrated through various media and artist acknowledgments. A 2025 feature by Audio Ink Radio named their 1976 album 'Presence' as the most underrated in their catalog, highlighting its raw sound and standout tracks like 'Nobody’s Fault But Mine.' The band is also the subject of the first authorized documentary, 'Becoming Led Zeppelin,' which includes rare archival footage and interviews with all members, painting a vivid picture of their origins and rise to fame. Additionally, Iron Maiden's frontman Bruce Dickinson praised the 1990s Seattle grunge band Soundgarden as the 'modern-day Led Zeppelin,' emphasizing their strong songwriting and influence during a time when metal was less prominent. This comparison was noted to be positive despite Soundgarden's late frontman Chris Cornell's mixed feelings about being likened to Led Zeppelin. These perspectives underline Led Zeppelin's enduring influence across generations and genres in rock music.
