Songwriter Jake Holmes is Dazed and Confused about why Jimmy Page won't give credit where credit is due when it comes to the 1969 Led Zeppelin hit and he wants the courts to sort it all out.
Legendary rocker Jimmy Page is being sued by songwriter Jake Holmes over money and credit Holmes claims he is due and that Page is denying him. The song in question is the 1969 Led Zeppelin hit Dazed and Confused.
Holmes filed suit against James Patrick Page, Jimmy's legal name, in federal court stating that according to a settlement reached between he and Page in 2011, he holds the copyright on the song.
The first version of the song was originally released in 1968 by the Yardbirds when Jimmy Page was a member of that group. When Jimmy joined Led Zeppelin he recorded another version with them and Page was the only credited writer. Holmes later sued over that because he had gotten the copyright for the song in 1967. That suit led to their 2011 settlement.
According to his new filing Holmes took issue when he saw the new Zeppelin IMAX documentary, Becoming Led Zeppelin which was released in early 2025. According to the film credits, Dazed and Confused was "inspired" by Holmes but written by Page.
Holmes says that this is false. He believes that any version of the song was written by him and he wants the courts to order that he be fairly compensated and credited for his work. He wants all monies earned from the use of the song in the documentary and from any future releases it is used in.
