@@billybussey Not really. They mostly took lyrics of old blues songs. The biggest riff they ripped was Stairway and they only ripped about 30s of the riff they took. It's also very altered from the original riff. It's more the chords that are the same and a small part of the arpeggios. There are a few other small examples but it's really no different than modern groups sampling songs for hip hop or rap. The big thing was taking blues classics and using the lyrics for an entirely new interpretation. This was quite commong back then. Elvis is the most known for it but there were many more groups that did this consistently If you want to hear the song stairway "ripped off" it's called Taurus by Spirit. The similarities are miniscule at best but you can definitely hear the inspiration.
