Rollins Band - Four Sticks (Zepplin cover)

[JasonMackComedy]

The vocals don't fit

I don't care for the different lyrics at all

The drums are lacking presence and power

I wish I didn't know this existed.

Still an awesome riff, though.

[PutItAway101]

I almost like the "don't have a shitshow of sounding like plant so I'm just gonna go apeshit" vocals

[JayzHill]

THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SORRY

[chainslap]

I like Rollins band but this cover is not good. Drums are mixed too low (and the drums are the best part of this song both in the original and this version) and the vocals don't work with what the band is doing. The best version of this song is off the Unleded dvd. Too bad it's not a version that included the great Bonzo Bonham. Henry Rollins has a great intellect, I'm surprised that he would release this as his tribute to one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

[billiejoesexi]

How come I'm the only person who enjoyed this lol

[MetalJassim]

@billiejoesexi Well, I did too... imo Henry can do whatever he wants, it is always fucking grand!

[ZappaSauriio]

Zeppelin killed blues, that's why I can't stand their music, but I still love Rollins... (:

[FixFalcon]

@ZappaSauriio Such a small world you live in...

[ZappaSauriio]

@FixFalcon

Small world, I'd rather my Underground stuff than your shitty mainstream...

[FixFalcon]

@ZappaSauriio Ya, Led Zeppelin is shitty...They only paved the way for modern hard rock and metal music. Sooooo sorry they "killed blues". If you don't like Zep, don't listen to it...go listen to BB King or some shit, you spic faggot.

[ZappaSauriio]

@FixFalcon

Hahahahahaha man... Yeh so does Dixon is shitty... Yup, Howlin' Wolf is crap and BB king is an asshole, and you use "Fag" as an insult, and I live in a small world... I hate this "Youtube fights" only cowards comment on other comments, because you need to prove to someone on the Internet that you are a brave youtube warrior...

Ok I'll go to listen to my shitty Blues and more of my shitty Jazz, but come on, grow up...

Peace!

[PutItAway101]

@ZappaSauriio Numnuts, blues was already dead by '69, they revived it.

[ZappaSauriio]

@PutItAway101

So they revived the blues by rippin' off those songs...?

I'll put it in other words; Zeppelin did to blues what Rollins did to this song (Sorry Henry, but this cover is the only thing I hated of all your songs). Ok then?

[javieracuna22]

Henry Rollins is great, I've read his books, listen to his albums and watched what he has directed, but I prefer LZ version.

[czwij]

not as good as thot it wood be

[SkateSka]

Ahhh nothing about this is right, at least it sounds kinda humorous.

[EpicProductions2000]

this is a hilariously TERRIBLE excuse for music. how dare you do this to good music.

[MrBlasticus]

@ENCofficial Jeff makes those you mention look like beginners. There isn't an axeman dead or alive who has touched more genre's than Beck and done all of them proud. The guys you mention are good but not one person will know who they are in 25 years. You want hear something heavy try JB's "Big Block"

[MrBlasticus]

@ENCofficial Paige????? Dude I seen them live in 78 and they sucked live, except for Bonzo & JPJ. Jeff Beck could always play circles around Paige & still does. Why do you think JB is still crankin out Grammy's and Paige is nowhere?

[wideaudio]

This is pathetic.

[deathfalk]

Is this an open-mic?

[diperrimax]

@deathfalk ahahah

[ritter89]

tone-deaf and rhythm-less Rollins is at it again.....

[belongin]

sounds like he's improvising the whole song...badly xD

[Cannedmeat420]

@ENCofficial "Without and education." There's no "d" in "an" little buddy. I'm 26 years old with an eight year college education and double majors in Physics w/ applied calculus and Music theory, specifically atonal. A 20 year old shouldn't talk back to me considering he can't even drink legally yet.

[Cannedmeat420]

@ENCofficial Maybe we like Robert Plant's "pmsing voice" so shut your food hole cuz I can smell your upper lip from here...and it smells like dick.

[TimeWillTellAll]

Typical Rollins cover. Prefer the original.

[legionjdw]

a ton of distortion and monotone yelling... yeah... some cover

[adamkotta888]

hahaha this is awful!

[Drscarper]

oh wow, the whole feel of the original is lost, this has just been bludgeoned out, what a mess !!!

[shatrolud]

better than the original!!

[JamesOhGoodie]

Fucking awesome!

[ElGranBosco]

no esta mal del todo...

[pepemordor]

I like Rollins Band, but they're not the best band for make a Led Zeppelin's cover

[chanch420]

This is on the album "Encomium", a Ld Zeppelin tribute. I personally like it. There's other good songs on it as well.

[Ireland453]

Was this recorded on any albums? I have all of their albums and I can't find it. :[

[devilbeastie]

rollins band is nice...but this one is crap.

zeppelin are the fucking greatest rockband of all times!

[kingrob29]

This may not be to everyone's taste but I like the energy!

[tomcat13claws]

This is fucking horrible.

[loberman]

How dare you say, 'better than the original'!

Plants vocals are infinitely better than this guy's.

The guitar has too much distortion, although it does add a nice effect.

And this song is 100% Bonham, and you can tell the drummer of Rollins Band does not have the same intensity.

Go listen to Zepp a little more before you reply: Zeppellin > Rollins Band

[SureFire420]

@loberman Dude, man, You're right. Ha!  :)

[8Zeitgeist]

@loberman the distortion is great

zeppelin was to perfect if you understand that.

[zosothedestroyer]

@loberman why do you have to prefer one version? There covering a song, get over yourself

[ScandinavianDawn]

@loberman yeah. how dare he express his opinion about art without a good lecture

[wattsun]

I Love Rollins but this is hilarious...

[Paneeks1960]

Way to fucking go Henry! Everything that you have ever said about anyone else all boils down too one thing now, nothing. The one thing that matters to me is this incredible version of "Four Sticks" by Led Zeppelin. The best cover version ever. Rob/Boston

[gorethem]

Great vid

[thcmorell011]

like I said...better than a original...

[oldphoque]

Very few bands are or will be will be covered as much as Led Zep. Everyone has their idea of who the greatest rock band is. That will be forever in debate. I lean towards The Stones but The Beatles seem to be more loved. Beatle fans seem to like Zep better than Stones or Who. Stones fans like The Kinks. Most will put Pink Floyd over The Stones. Simply cause they were not there and they enjoy headphones with their vices.

[ghostwhiskey]

@oldphoque im a huge beatle fan but i totally prefer the who to zeppelin

[Tenryuko]

i LOVED robert plants vocals. he had a nice voice sooo idk what you're talking about 123joe dude over there.

[thcmorello412]

better than a original...

[sheLovesG]

I don't think so. The music is alright, but the vocals are totally off key.

[123JoeD456]

You mean you LIKED robert plants vocals?

[sheLovesG]

No, not LIKE(D?) plant's vocals. His were in key.

[123JoeD456]

I meant ' You actually LIKED( yes as in liked) robert plants vocals?'

Robs vocals were in key but Herny Rollins doesn't try to be.

Robert plant is a hack anyway.

[sheLovesG]

You're joking, right?

[123JoeD456]

No, he sounded horrible, he is the reason i don't like Zeppelin.

[LinkBulletBill]

Well, Robert's voice sound different, but similar in every song!!!!!! It's as if he's one singer with multiple voices, I mean compare his voice to Kashmir to No Quarter to Immigrant Song to Stairway To Heaven to Four Sticks to Babe, I'm Gonna leave You, you can hear the BIG DIFFERENCES in his voice, but you stil know it's him, that is why he's one of the best singers ever!

[oldphoque]

Not everyone likes Plant. I get that. But without Plant`s vocals, Page would just be another well respected journeyman rather than a guitar God. I cringe when I hear John Fogerty`s voice. I don`t denounce him. Just cause it doesn`t appeal to you, doesn`t mean it sucks. It`s not always the sound. It`s the delivery. IE: Bob Dylan or Keith Richards. Neither sound GREAT, but they seem to get the job done better than anyone else.

[Jeroin]

Much better than the original.

[davidian876]

i don't even think Henry Rollins would agree with that

[RussX5Z]

Good cover!! This sounded better than I thought!

[cozmikzen]

Hell Yeah!
