Forum Overview :: No Stairway to Heaven :: The real meaning of the name of this forum

[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]Many guitar stores got tired of customers coming in and practicing one particular song to try out a guitar they were interested in. so they would post a sign on the wall instructing people not to play that song, the song, of course, being Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." Guitar stores would have a sign on the wall near their instruments saying "No Stairway to Heaven". This was even pointed out in the movie "Wayne's World" where a musical instrument store store had a "NO STAIRWAY" sign. These signs remained in stores throughout the 1990s and on into the 2000s. So the reference isn't to not include say, YouTube performances of <i>Stairway to Heaven</i> here, but to musical instrument stores requesting customers not to play that song on the store merchandise because it was happening so often it became annoying.
