Original: Coined as early as 1966 , '' Lead Zeppelin '' was The Who 's Keith Moon 's tongue-in-cheek description of the prospective '' supergroup '' that would have comprised himself , John Entwistle , Steve Marriott , Beck and Page , because he felt they would go over '' like a lead balloon '' and Entwistle added '' Or a lead Zeppelin '' .
Simplified: Moon had said previously said that their band would go over '' like a lead zeppelin , '' and the name '' Led Zeppelin '' stuck .
