Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The lady in the song is doing what to get a "Stairway to Heaven"?

Answer: Buying

"..and she's buying a stairway to heaven." This song was first played publicly at Belfast's Ulster Hall on March 5th, 1971.

2. What is the first instrument you hear in this song?

Answer: Guitar

Jimmy Page on the guitar is the first sound you hear in this song. The recorder comes in a couple seconds later. "Stairway to Heaven" was written by Robert Plant, inspired by his search for spiritual perfection.

3. If we all call the tune, then who will lead us to reason?

Answer: The Piper

"It's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, then the piper will lead us to reason." The quiet start, slow middle and crash rock ending has influenced many songs, the most known being Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".

4. What is on the tree by the brook?

Answer: A Songbird

"In a tree by the brook, there's a song-bird who sings. Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." The double-necked guitar, used by Jimmy Page in the later years of Led Zeppelin, was a 6/12 1968 Gibson EDS -1275.

5. Why does she look twice at the sign on the wall?

Answer: Because sometimes words have two meanings

"There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure. 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings." If you look in "Wayne's World", you will see a sign in the music store saying "No Stairway to Heaven".

6. Where does he look when he "gets a feeling"?

Answer: West

"There's a feeling I get, when I look to the West. And my spirit is crying for leaving" Some people, many Christians included, believe that this song, played backwards, reveals a message supporting Satan.

7. Where is her Stairway?

Answer: On the whispering wind

"...and did you know. Your Stairway lies on the whisp-ering winds." She hasn't seen her Stairway to Heaven yet. When Led Zeppelin were questioned about the Satan-rich lyrics, they simply replied, "Our turntables only play in one direction, forward."

8. The forests will echo with what?

Answer: Laughter

"...for those who stand long, and the forests will echo with laughter." A heavy metal band, Down, named their second album after a lyric in this song. The album was called "A Bustle in your Hedgerow".

9. How tall are our shadows?

Answer: Taller than our souls

"As we walk on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls..." Many people believe that Jimi Hendrix produced a "reggae-mix" of "Stairway to Heaven". It was actually Frank Zappa who made a cover of this song.

10. About how long does the guitar solo last?

Answer: 50 seconds

This is one of the best solos I've ever heard. The guitar that played the solo on the record and CD was a 1958 Fender Telecaster. Three different solos were created by Page, and he chose the one he thought best suited the song.
