Virtual Zeppelin - Over The Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin full cover)

[MegaGuitarphenom]

perfect.

[juancho7965]

You are the luckiest man in the world to have a voice like that

[robertwilson47]

Great job

[guilmon182]

What sort of black magic did you use to steal Rob's voice?!

[1BattleRattle]

WOW! Just WOW!

[Swedernish]

Lip syncing? 

[Fatward1988]

@Swedernish I think so too. but idk how many versions Robert sung so i cant say for sure if this is Mr plant or not.

[Kilmarley]

@Fatward1988 He's the real deal. Look him up. He's currently touring with Jason Bonham's Led Zepp Experience. Blows me away every time I listen...

[jclaxon]

Wow! Amazing cover. Great job!

[lollerskates101LOL]

Dude this was so tight.... Fantastic job I can't even believe you did this. Mad respect

[mcblahflooper94]

I swear it's Robert Plant. So simular. Same thing with the guitarist.... Such simular tone, and everything, ya know, minus the fact that you guys are a Zep tribute band. :P But. The bassist reminds me of John Entwistle of the Who

[jacksonrussell1]

singer looks like david draiman of disturbed

[guilmon182]

If Rob were dead, I'd say you were his reincarnation.

[Jmhr19]

You sound just as Robert Plant!!! awsome!!

[Jmhr19]

You sound just as Robert Plant!!! awsome!!

[morganellieification]

Brilliant!!!!!!!

Love the video too, explains how all guitar parts are put together, voice sounds so planty too

i'm in shock

[jtollison]

I am very impressed. This was a perfect cover.

[DubAndTrey]

[FIowHD]

[ibaneziceman300]

[jmadd232009]

Dude......usually, I don't like people covering Led Zeppelin songs, but this is SUBLIME! I would kill to have vocals akin to Robert Plant. Bravo!

[RaVaGexXxHD]

that was really good great job

[JuliansGuitarCovers]

Why does it seems as if the singers isn't singing.

[BKhuntingadventures]

nice cover

[spudnutsncoffee]

How is it that this video has not won any awards? This is shockingly good. Are these vocals in this video actually Robert Plants.....I read the "liner notes" but this is so spot on that I have a tough time believing my ears. Just amazing.

[PianoColinGuitar]

Lets not cut this instrumental short.

They were all spot on. NOW. Robert Plant, err not, Robert Plant. I love you. You're vocals are spectacular! I liked you guys on facebook just now. <3

[masterdrake420]

[billyslayer91171]

WOW!!!..Incredible!!

[cactusnat]

10/10 Excellent. Got a website? Where are you playing?

[jamesnorthernva]

@cactusnat,

Virtual Zeppelin has a Facebook page. My personal Website is jamesdylanofficial(dot)com Just came off a North American tour with Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience. Fall tour dates will be posted at JBLZE(dot)com

[frnnt]

@cactusnat I saw JBLZE in Salt Lake City. It was an awesome show. I was impressed with all of you. Keep up the good work....Jefferson from SLC

[FuckinMetal3694]

Amazing

[kennzodnb]

ROckin!

[chill3n456]

Brilliant. Amazing. Effin awesome! I felt a tear. :') . Well, time to start practicing. Got a long way to go before I'm good at the guitar yet. And awesome keyboard ending. Sounded close to the mandolin!

[paralyz3r00]

wow i just went to see jason bonhams led zeppelin experience on the 15th, and you'll never guess who their vocalist is???

[skaterwouter1]

sure... no one has a voice so close to that from robert plant..

[pschlimm]

Good all round, guys. Nice video, too.

[kniazeff]

Unbelieveable, my jaw has been dropped!!!!

[JohnnyFiveEagles]

You know, you are a very talented man, man! Very good. Job well done. It put me in a very good mood and you enlivened one of my very favourite rock songs. Thank you very much and keep up the good work. I too sing, play guitar and bass and my number one instrument, my life and my work, the essence of my art and my soul, the drum kit...For thirty one years now. John Bonham was certainly my favourite rock drummer by far. He just exuded pure and raw energy entirely compliant with a theoretical basis

[radicalveg]

Outstanding!

[CaptainBorris]

That guy's voice is truly amazing.

[DimmyAraujo]

3:08 that's what I call a ''trippy'' solo! ;)

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

Jesus you're voice is fucking amazing.

[ruffles272]

great job with the lypsyncing

[MrMassMajority]

@ruffles272 lypsyncing?

[thedirtygoat]

@ruffles272 Go suck a turd... Really... You should choke on it and die... Post up some shit that you've done... Be my hero...

[ChaseKM92]

This is amaaaazing.. i can't even tell the difference.

[beerlager9]

Awesome

[TheVexHead]

Fuckin' great voice. Very similiar to Robert's.

[KtotheY77]

Holy shit

[pedrobrandao]

i'm a huge fan of zeppelin and you were blessed to be born with the closest voice to robert's ever

[Pneuman32]

Love the production of the video. Thank you for the closeups of the instruments being played. Haven't mastered it like you guys have, but this is the only video I watch while learning to play over the hills. Perfect.

[oldschoolcommy]

dude if Arnel Pinada got signed for sounding like steve perry, so should you for sounding exactly like plant.

[abes10]

[yoyomatafaka]

TWO WORDS: A MAZING!

My favorite led zeppelin song, AND HOLY SHIT, that must be the best cover of any song EVER.

[TheDigitalSkuare36]

[tomm4272]

[lotsaEntertainment]

i wish ratings weren't disabled i would like this a million and 1 times :)

this is really good. especially how high you can sing but of course everything is awesome and perfect!!!!

[nmiguelsimoes]

Wich acoustics are in use here? The top one looks an Eko Ranger but the bottom one is the one that caught my eye.

[kidcouger]

Have you dedicated your whole life sounding like robert plant? Just grow your hair out and dye it dirty blonde.

[xxxChrist]

Got to say that is great. 10 ,out of 10.

[sernajw]

wtf??? is that his real voice??? sounds just like robert damn

[wierdguitar]

[MoneyEC]

[gus041009]

[dartvader117]

[olimpio50]

[CreepingDeathSB]

Amazing.. Favorited :)

[thompson197]

if i closed my eyes than i would think that this is robert plant singing

[swlabr07]

OMG man, you are like the result of and orgy between Robert Plant and David Draiman from Disturbed!

Fantastic!

[Gordobean]

just stumbled onto this video...REALLY cool...Love the opening...keep rockin;!!!!!

[ajroahkni]

Tight work - vocals are great.

[robertow2]

Very cool video guys. Congratulations from Brazil

[GEASEOOOO]

Great Job! What's the Hardware your using to get the multiple screens?

[jamesnorthernva]

@GEASEOOOO,

Jun626, Vanderbilly and Bitwonk do the videos.  I think they are using "Final Cut".

[Dcforlife025]

why do people put the mic to where they have to bend over?,.. notice that a lot

[jamesnorthernva]

@Dcforlife025,

I don't know why people like James Hetfield do it, but I imagine it helps him sing in some way. In this video it is an illusion. My home has 10' ceilings and the camera is up in a high corner of the room. As a result, when I lean forward into the mic I move down in the field of vision. I put the camera up high so the mic isn't as much of a visual obstruction in the video. I like the mic to be exactly straight across from my mouth.

[jimihendrixtribute]

@jamesnorthernva if anything, that impairs their ability to sing, because their head makes their throat in such a position that their voice is choked in. Lemmy from motorhead sings upwards so his throat is open all the way.

[jamesnorthernva]

@jimihendrixtribute Yeah, you'd think so, but I am sure there's a reason they choose to sing that way. The "choking" may be the desired effect.

[analyzingfunny]

This is good. How would you like to record on the same type recorder used to record Whole Lotta Love? It is your for the asking. Only 160 of them were made. The mighty Scully 280-8 one inch. I have it and it is yours.

[thepoopshootmagee]

amazing, i just thought the bass was a little loud

[Cldfsn0200]

@thepoopshootmagee no way it was perfect. Ive heard this song for almost 40 years and I can tell you its perfectly mixed and played

[UnzipYerReligion]

Great job on a great song!

[aussie777]

greaaaaaat!!!!

[texasjazzmusic]

Huge fan here, I've emailed this video to all my friends!

I especially love the singer's ability to sing the chorus like it was originally performed on Houses of the Holy!

Robert Plant quit singing the high notes in the chorus ("Many times I loved") in about 1972 or so. Zep still performed this song live but Plant changed the chorus melody so it was nice and low! I don't know if it was the cigarettes or just getting older but it was never the same song afterwards.

[arsia00alex]

those vocals cant be that dudes. its sounds exactly like plant. dead on. i dont believe it. i want to, i just dont

[alannaNG]

bullshit

fake

[caincolesr]

If the singer isn't already sighned to A major label then he should be because those vocals are million dollar pipes. a true blessing from God..........

[SAvoltage]

holy shit, i would pay to see this lineup play live.

[cielobuio]

Dude - If I close my eyes, it could almost be Robert Plant himself singing this, especially the opening part.

[Ultrahuntr]

amaaaazing vox

[DalyBallin23]

amazing vocals!

[alchemy831]

That was AMAZING!!!!

[TheShako4]

the end on the keys and the vocals were the best

[Samuelsuchapimp]

Seriiooouuuus talent on vocals. Not too many people can say they can sing incredibly similar to Robert Plant. Thats amazing, he has it so perfect.

[arsia00alex]

@Samuelsuchapimp those vocals cant be that dudes. its sounds exactly like plant. dead on. i dont believe it. i want to, i just dont

[cryofan]

have you ever had any contact from zep or their people? Cuz what you have done here is something special, I think

[kajwilhelm]

Amazing vocals!!!

[Bart277]

awesome

[dragonfoe]

The vocals are the hardest to get, anyone can learn to play some of Zeppelin stuff on Guitar as well as they did, but the vocals you have be born with.

[jamesnorthernva]

Thank you. I think the difference is that Frank, John, Jun, Bill and Karl make their parts sound like the original recordings. From what I have heard it is extremely rare for a musician to be able to do that.

[crayZtaco7]

EXTREMELY

[cbproducktions]

@dragonfoe

Very true

I just gotta say WOW, that was incredible! Everyone involved to a great job to say the least, amazing cover! I love the vocals at "pocket full of gold"

[dragonfoe]

Not that it is easy to learn those cords or how to get it just right.

[chucknun]

@dragonfoe You might want to try learning this song on guitar yourself before you leave a comment like this. It's actually a pretty difficult song to play accurately, there are a lot of little nuances in there that these guys do a great job covering.

[TheA340guy]

you sound just like plant. What the hell. Great vid.

[Aerozmith]

what was the comercial at the start to?

[babashroud]

This made me smile. Vocals are top notch.

[ieatbabies12]

anyone know what brand bass that is?

[jlt2185]

I believe it's a Ibanez......

[oleg4560]

love it!

[Shaw613]

wow! your voice sounds surprisingly similar to Robert Plant's! Amazing job all around!

[ThePhenotube]

So f**** Great Vid!!!! A Dream Come True -:)

[Helimech47]

Ok i did have a Youtube account till i watched this Vid....you guys rock..i have seen Jimmy Page in concert and Robert Plant twice and i know Zeppelin...they have been my Fav since i was in the 7th grade. I have NEVER seen anyone do their songs justic until now....great work!!!!

[Stjonnypopo]

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know

[MBlacko7]

me to im tripping so hard the song is inside me

[egmazzini]

Outstanding! I consider myself a huge rock performance seeker in YouTube and now that i watch this, you guys will make it on my top 10 favorites! Thank you all!

[dyldem]

wow that was like dead on, awesome vocals dude

[ntrnate]

that was awsome

[HendrixTjaden]

Okay so I watched this video and at the same time watched the studio version from zeppelin, and would pause each after every few words, and its nearly exact with plant. I don't think plant himself would hear any difference, because i sure don't. Its spooky man.

[HendrixTjaden]

I've seen all your videos, and obviously they're great. Easily the best out there, and not just your covers of plant. You do AIC and Freddie justice and I thought I would NEVER say those words.

I know this probably gets asked a million times, but do you plan on trying Immigrant Song? It'd blow my mind even a step further :|

Keep rocking dude - I'd pay to see you, and I know thousands, no wait, millions, of other people would as well.

Cheers.

[jamesnorthernva]

Thank you HendrixTjaden, yes, in fact, we are doing the Immigrant song now. A couple of us have already recorded our parts. I will inquire where we are with it. I've heard a couple of the recorded tracks. They sound amazing. Jun and Vanderbilly are working on something special for this one.

[ninjae4976]

was the falsetto part hard to learn for you?

[jamesnorthernva]

ninjae4976. This song is in normal register not falsetto.  I found this song easy to learn.

[ninjae4976]

are you a Leggiero tenor? i imagine that you hald to hit a very high note

[jamesnorthernva]

ninjae4976, I have never looked into what my actual range is. You can hear what my falsetto voice sounds like in my video "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" at 2 minutes and 58 seconds and in several places in my "Sweet Surrender" video.

[ninjae4976]

thank you James for taking your time to respond all I can say is thank you and please take care of your beatiful voice, i'm quite a fan of it

[lizardkingvoodookid]

dudes vocals can hang with robert plant

[maryjanesledzep]

AMAZING! EVERYONE! The singer sounds just like Plant!! Make the ratings undisabled so I can give you 5 stars!! Rock on!!

[PanteraFan92192]

that cant be his real voice

[TheRikkiDee1]

Wow! Note for note on everything! It's crazy to see what you've covered! By not being in the same room, do you send everyone a "click track of the tempo?" That drummer's timing is dead nuts on! Everyone's is! I've seen your other video's, and they are all great! COOL! How about The Song Remains The Same? (as if you're taking requests. lol)

[jamesnorthernva]

Thank you TheRikkiDee1. I know he is familiar with the idea of using a custom click track, because I've made a couple for him. One of the ones I made was for "Black Dog" which would have been very challenging to do without a time reference.

~ Jamie

[brentproductions]

holy. fucking. shit. if i hadn't been watching this i woulda thought it was the recording.

[jotho27]

Hats off to you and the rest of the guys! With all due respect, as a fellow musician I really think this is amazing what you have accomplished here. I don't know if Robert Plant ever covered his own studio vocals as well live, as you covered them here bro. BRAVO, nicely done!!

[kvssravi]

You seriously have no idea how awesome this is!!!

Well, all this virtual thing is intersting, but what do you seriously plan to accomplish with this remote zeppelin? Why not meet together? And who mixes and promotes all this?

[jamesnorthernva]

Thanks, I don't know that music accomplishes anything, but that doesn't mean I don't think it's worth performing it. The reason we have not met is because we live in different parts of the world. Remote technology is not new. Led Zeppelin used a mobile recording unit and rarely recorded their parts in the same room at the same time.

[jamesnorthernva]

The difference the internet has made for us is that it has allowed us to meet each other, it has allowed us to send each other files and it has given us an audience. Jun626, Vanderbilly, Bitwonk and Myself have mixed the music. We do not promote the videos. People discover them while searching YouTube.

[kvssravi]

That was great james!! Honestly, if I didn't look at the video, I would have believed it was the voice of robert plant!!

Hats off to you guys, yet again!! Are you planning to cover any more songs of Zeppelin?

[jamesnorthernva]

Thank you.  Yes we will be doing more videos soon.

[genuinelatif]

Let me get this straight...you guys are in separate countries, record your own bits to the song and just mix them together?

That's incredible. Have you ever met up and played together?

[jamesnorthernva]

Thank you. Yeah, you've got it. We haven't met in person.

[JacobYeager]

By far the best covers. TILL THE JUICE RUNS DOWN MY LEG

[LLorenz100]

Holy cow.

[iamanoctal]

holy shit, how does this only have 16,000 views?

[jamesnorthernva]

All 6 members of Virtual Zeppelin have this video posted. The same video on jun626's channel has been viewed well over 100,000 times. I haven't added up all the views from each channel, but this video's combined views are probably close to 200,000.
