(22,143 posts)12. Led Zeppelin was billed as "The Nobs" on a short tour in 1970.
Because Copenhagen aristocrat Frau von Zeppelin was upset over their use of the Zeppelin name. Nob is British slag for penis and according to "Hammer of the Gods" they thought it was a great way to thumb their, er, noses at the uptight baroness.
Others say they were named for their tour manager. I prefer the former explanation.
