It depends what you mean by duet......

It varied, the first album took 36 hours to do, Presence was 12 days, and
some albums like ITTOD and the fourht album took a coupel months, the
second album was recorded while on the road during the 69 tour. So it all 
varies.

> 3.  How long did it take Led Zeppelin to make one song??

Once again it varies, some songs were composed in the studio and recorded
and that was it, others took months sometimes years......songs like
Achilles included parts from the live version of "Dazed and Confused" 3
years before....some songs were somewhat reworked such as "Hots On For
Nowhere"...it all varies, some songs may ahve been done in a day some in
years.

> 4.  Were there any fights within the band??

not that I know of, however Bonzo and Peter Grants son and Richard Cole
beat up some people that worked for Bill Graham which prompted Graham to
ban the band from any of his venues and press criminal charges against the
band.

> 5.  Who came up with the lyrics for "Stairway to Heaven"??  Why??  

Robert....why? Why is the sky blue? To quote John Paul Jones, it's "as if
three wisemen are knocking on the door, saying 'excuse me, are you writing
- -Stairway to Heaven?-'" There is no answer really.
