Lol, that was not cultural appropriation, but artistic mayhem. Go listen to some Howlin' Wolf and tell us again how Zep did it "better".
Oooooh, the guitars were louder!
What they did smacks of cultural appropriation, but worse than that, they lied about authorship. No one would think Page / Plant et al had actually worked on a killing floor ... but they cashed the royalty payments all the same. That's theft of intellectual property.
