I remember seeing these guys in really a hot club. Tort Elvis was sweating like an alien--pouring off of him. At the end of the show when he runs off the stage, they announce TORT ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!! My old room mate's then girlfriend ran up and hit him like a linebacker and gave him a full body bear hug. shoo. good luck getting that off of you tonight.
@itsarthurmarshall If Elvis was alive today, he would be rolling in his grave-with laughter! Elvis is probably wearing an outfit like this in heaven, things have moved on in 30 years. Everyone knows that Elvis was a great reggae fan, you can hear it in his voice. Torte Elvis loves Elvis, they are family after all, blood is thicker than water don't you think?
These guys made me do hard drugs to understand wtf is going on here. Then i had a heart attack and fvcked my sister and shit my pants while crashing my firebird into a fireworks tent.
I did the light and break music in the early nineteys.( cant remember exactly ) in adelaide australia for dread zep. rember it being a crazy night. might have been at the old lion hotel. Spread the dred zep world needs to lighten up people.

I first heard these guys back in the late '80's early '90's and thought it was Frank Zappa doing his TAKE on Elvis/Zeppelin/and REGGAE! Like he did with DOWOP and MEX. on Ruben and the Jets! That Album was HILARIOUS! Check it out if you haven't heard it!
I saw these guys when first out in Syracuse Ny what a hoot ! then to find out that Robert lant likes them was to funny.Once you set back and look at the music you can see how it converts over . This just the extreme lol
I was made aware of these guys around 1990 at Poobah's record store in Pasadena, CA. A buddy of mine and I saw Un-Led-Ed, went "WTF" and picked it up, then spent that evening cracking up listening to it. The first and only reggae Led Zep cover band with an Elvis impersonator lead singer!
Have you ever seen anything so bizarre? Who would have thought that bringing together Elvis on vocals, a hippie Superman on lead guitar, a ski bum Fred Durst on the drums, a Rasta Captain Jack Sparrow on the Bongos, a surfer d'Artagnan on the baby bass and some strange version of Bez from the Happy Mondays just milling around the stage would end up in something not half bad! Great Video!
Wow this is some early Dread Zep. Don't ya just love Charlie? And Butt Boy! He's not quite his fabulous self -- when I've seen them live, Butt Boy usually gives the audience lots of chances to see his fucking awesome ASS!! This is making me wish they were coming to my town.
Sounds great but icould swear the lead 's guitar looks just like the cutting board i made in 8th grade woodshop - the band saw was trouble if you were a stoner...lol
