  • so everyone is mad because they 'ripped off zep'. what about all the different artists zep ripped off and denyed it?

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi An old Paiste rep told me he went through about $3500.00 a month in bronze

  • I remember when this song came out and I saw theses clowns at the monsters of Rock. They were ripped apart by everyone for ripping off Zeppelin. Its one thing to be influenced by a band but they blatently stole everything. The funny thing is I read an article in Circus magazine at the time where the lead singer said he never heard a zeppelin song before...what a fucking shmuck!!!

  • Fuck off with this Led Zeppelin shit. Who hasn't ripped off Zep? Get over it. Enjoy the music or get off the page.

  • Okay Led Zeppelin user ! But the guitarriffs so much better from Jimmy Page .

  • Zeppelin much.?

  • @DJZGNR except, can't even come close to the universe that is Zeppelin.... haaha

    

  • Ya know these guys rock. If they were to have come out in 2000 or 2010: instead of when grunge come on the scene and brainwashed everyone with their "overproduced" and "too polished" bullshit criticisms... as if like "gee someone has too much talent and someone spent to much time making sure everything sounded way too great" kind of stupid-dumb-ass thinking!!! This group would be considered great. As it was they were too close in time to Zepplin (albeit excellent) to not "get shit for it".

  • I guarantee u this is a madeup zepplin band like everymothers nightmare.

    the bassist told me wen i was 27 he was only 19 and knew nuthin bout the songs wen i asked him if he wrote any of it all cookie cutter bs.

    fuck tora tora wud blow this band away if u want a bluesy rock n roll copy buit theyre orig

  • Kottak is weak.

  • ozzy isn't half the singer this guy is. To bad Lenny also had a but much ego and hormones; when he didn't get as famous as he thought, he had to go see the shrink.

  • @oker59 perception/ear of the beholder matters, of course, when referring to art/music/etc. But, Ozzie, I think

    greatly exceeds this; plus, Ozzy is extremely original...  Interesting point 'though.

  • Vocals better than Robert!?? Only a mirror wearing reprobate-groupie-hack would spew that kind of sewer swill. These kitty petting dorks aren't cool enough to gain the status of led clones.... they are so not like Zeppelin in every way - vibeless, soulless mirror holding cat owners.

  • @reemanmusic hey wtf is wrong with cats?..lol..these guys were damn good,lennys vocals were outstanding-zepp rip-off sure!..so what..they still rocked..i loved that performance!

  • @whisperinwindcried67 There's nothing wrong with cats, I know... an offensive thing to say- I was trying to paint a picture of how I perceive K.Come and this particular 80's angle of rock (more like cat petters with wind machines blowin' into the 80's cheese-hair), I mean, this is worse than poison... I simply find nothing redeeming about K. Come. Even the breakdown is cheesy here, and the atrocious drum solo, etc.

    Whitesnake is a great example of a band who can rock the "cheesier" stuff.

  • LOL, Kottak's cymbals sound like shit. I wonder if they're broken?

    Or Meinl?

  • I remember seeing these guys back in the monsters of rock tour they are one of those bands that sound exactly like their cd's when live...like scorpions..i had a blast...i think..i was wasted...lol

  • I was around when this came out and I remember ozzy and a bunch of other famous musicians doing a song called led clones about this band.they used the same riff and just changed the lyrics to talk crap about kingdom come.that was pretty much the final nail in their coffin. By the way in high school we called these pussies kingdom condom!

  • @tacobell5150 Yeah, only thing is they were far more talented as musicians than most of the crap that was out there during the period. Also, they were one of the later bands to appear and last against the flash-in-the-pan movement called grunge.

    Ozzy's music has been shit since the mid-eighties.

    So yeah, you're wrong.

  • jason who? jason bonham was never in this band

  • What????? a Paul Reed Smith way back then? Well FUCK PRS they don't build lefty. BIOTCHES

  • @twintriode They did when they were actually handmade. When the "big boys" bought PRS they moved in the CNC machines and moved out the "custom" options like lefties! Now ya gotta buy a Jet!

  • with jason on the drums they had every right to sound like zeppelin and his vocals were better than robert anyhow

  • Very good band..and very nice vocals...too bad they tryed to hard to sound like zeppelin..i think thats what make them fail. NO ONE can touch LED ZEPPELIN.

  • lol theres so many bands like this give em a break.. haha Led Zeppelin should be a fucking genre!

  • Kingdom Come is a great band and greatly overlooked. First criticized as being Led Zeppelin clones, they were panned by the same critics that hailed them. This song is perhaps the most Zeppelinesque thing they ever did. In my opinion this is not their best song however it is the biggest hit they had. It's a shame that people listen to music based upon what others say is "good". KC is an unbelievable band behind Lenny Wolf. Look up every video. The proof is in the music and not with the critics.

  • what a bunch of wimps these guys are what made the boy george so famous

  • @rusty3610 there not wimps wtf u talkn bout

  • БЛя ! Вот Это от Души !!! Люблю И Уважаю балдею от данного колектива Вульфф Сила ! Щас За Королевство Пью !!!!! !!!!! !!!! Не судите меня если что строго !!!! Королевство Форевееееееееее ! Класссссссссссссс!!!!!!

  • oh true. by the way, i really miss wbcn. now its some shitty pop station that all the kids today with bad taste listen to. its disgusting

  • I love this band and this song.

  • I like, the big difference between kc and Lz is Lz 'lifted' other peoples' music and played it in their own unique style whereas Kc wrote their own music and played it in the style of lz... And I'm not dissing anyone here, but if you're even a casual rock fan and never heard kc before, seriously, what's the first thing that pops in your head?

  • am i the only one who thinks they sound identical to led zeppelin?

  • The only one??? If you remember when they came out, they were referred to as "Kingdom Clone" because they sounded too much like Zeppelin. I remember this because I am an old man. The verses of this song is a sort of rip off of Kashmir. 

  • @drummer78 i thought i was the only one because there were no comments about zeppeilin. and i wasnt around when they first came out. i jsut discovered this band recently

  • This song - and the band itself - was heavily hyped by FM rock radio back then (which at the time was still a mix of the current rock of the day and what would be known as "classic rock"). I am thinking in particular of the late WBCN in Boston. Anyway, the song got some notice but then critics started to tag this band as a Zeppelin rip off (I think mainly for this particular song which does borrow heavily from Kasmir. The band later got a slot on the Monsters of Rock tour and then just faded.

  • STONE FURY THATS ALL

  • Saw these guys with Warrant at the Ky state fair.About 25,000 people there and i was front row!!They totally stole the show,they never got the credit they deserved,truly a great band of the eighties

  • I was there!!!

  • Love this video! James Kottak was a huge influence on my style back in the early 90's. The power, and the showman ship.

  • EVERYONE sounds like led zeppelin ok

  • the fucking son of john bonham!! fucking led zeppelin fans (not saying that im not one, believe me) had to ruin it for them. kingdom come is a great band.... don't bash on 'em. even when they DID sound like zeppelin, they did a great job on their music!

  • @wezilla21  ..u talk 2 much.

  • this band was awesome, but led zep fans had to "kill" KC

  • Comment removed

  • seen um 1988 monsters of rock, Dallas Texas.

    Nuthing short of kick ass!

  • they dont make music like this anymore ... shame really.

  • @TyriaelSoban You're right, in general they don't....but then have you heard Whitesnake's "Good To Be Bad" album yet (it came out last year)? It sounds just like the Whitesnake you remember from the 80s, and they have another album scheduled to come out later this year, with a tour in support of it to follow in 2011. The music's out there, man, you just gotta look for it!

  • @1970rdl

    no, i havnt.

    but thanks ill have to look for it next time i go to town :D

  • @1970rdl ..u talk 2 much.

  • @frekijsimpson It took you FOUR MONTHS to come up with that for a response??? Sheesh.....

  • beautiful

  • Great song. Very underrated band.

  • this sucks

  • your a fucking idiot. why post some thing negative if you dont even have to.

  • @Alhambrattp you suck dick lick

  • alright a camera solo!!

  • Is James Kottak on drums?

  • Drum solo, yea, It's time to hit the head...

  • Impresionante... Todavía cantará así este chico, como para llevárselo a Mr. Page?

  • god I hate drum solos

  • what is with all the i fucked your mom shit on here? what does that have to do with this video? it seems grade 7 and 8 mentality wit hsome of you people, show your age and not your iq of 2, this isnt grade 8 on here its the real world, you may feel bigger inside your own pathetic litle life with degrading other but your only showing your a lowlife scumbag.

  • The tempo is WAY TOO FAST!!  This songs kick ass when it's played in the right groove. Wow, can't believe they played this song that fast. ruined it for me. Still a great tune.

  • Well that happens live sometimes....

  • impresionante voz Lenny!!! de lo mejor del mundo!!! gracias por dejar este regalo al mundo!!! como siempre gracias !thanks!! gracias por tu musica Lenny, gracias Kingdom Kome!!

  • The only fat ass pussy I ever got was your Mom.She could suck a dick just like your wife,but I guess you already know.Fat Boy.

  • Your just jelous about all the pussy I got in my spandex shirt Hawkrock,You fat ass loser.Get a life of your own,Stop suckin dick on YouTube.HAHAHA!

  • LOL ya im jealous of all the fat ass pussy you got, Im sure fucking your 3rd and 4th cousins was a real accomplishment you fucking mullet wearing hillbilly. Hey hows your aunt mommy and uncle daddy doing you inbred fuck?

  • Ya Im sure jealous of those toothless bar flys you banged in those two bit hillbilly bars you played in.

    hahahahaha thats rich indeed.

  • almost every band after led zep has been influenced by zep cuz they are the best

    there will never be another led zep cuz each member is the best at what they do every genre of music they played and whenever a band like this one is compared to led zeppelin they disappear this band here and remember wolfmother

  • This guy (Kottack) was a rock star long before this,You could tell he had it way back with Buster Brown.They were Awesome 1980s

  • Yep must be hard to see a real front man getiing it done, and he doesn't even have a spandex shirt on like you kippy.

  • Why are led zep fans so insulting about KC ??? I received a lot of insulting messages like " you are a bastard, fuck you ....and others ...." is it just jalousy ???

    if KC are just "clones" what about krokus and ac-dc ???? and all the bluesplayers on the world ???

    Please stop telling me plant and page are gods , that's insane, music has nothing to do with religion.

  • No one ever said ac/dc are led zep clone. But Kingdom Come just screams at your face Led Zep - in terms of rhythm, sound style, vocals, everything it's just like Led Zeppelin without the eastern influence. I don't find that disturbing, on the contrary, I think they are a fun band. But the truth is, that when they first appeared some thought they were in fact Led Zeppelin. It's a historical fact. And please, stop trolling about led zep, you are getting silly.

  • Don't sweat it. Probably most are just youngsters thinking with just repeating what was said by some critics in the eighties, it shows that they know music. Pobably the same people that start dissing Dio with Sabbath and that Ozzy is THE man... what the fuck do they know.

    Krokus yeah, if you want to listen to a "real AC/DC clone", listen to Rhino Buckets debut (the only one I have, so my opinion is based on that)... but they are so good, they are flipping cool!

  • @MultiPhil2009 Many bands had a influence on led zeppelin, MANY! this one happened to steal riffs from zep, but even zep was stealing lyrics from Willie Dixon.

  • Their singer was a douche

  • A very poor led zeppelin copy!

  • Oh just go f**k yourself cunn16 - this is not a led zep cover, go troll somewhere else.

  • "go troll somewhere else" super lol

  • Uh, not a typical '80 hair band... hairspray yes indeed, but musicly faaaaaar from a hair band!

  • Kottak is cool)))

  • @kostyantynobnbn the whole line up was cool

  • Never heard of them before. Typical 80's hair band. Not to bad though.

  • nice band ;)

  • a finales de los 80 los escuche este disco con living out of touch, tenian buen futro,que sera de ellos,si alguien tiene videos de mejor calidad seria excelente.muy buena musica

  • I saw them at Monster Of Rock in Moscow! it was realy good!!!!

  • Seen them on the Van Halen Monsters of Rock in Denver, Colorado. Mile HIgh. That was a great show. Will never forget that show. Kingdom Come, Dokken Scorpions, Metallica and the headliners Van Halen in that order.

  • actually it IS easy doing what you do...guitar wise- just play the verse to Kashmir double time and there you have it!!! Just kidding...sort of. I'll admit I still like these guys -ha.

  • Great Rockers

  • That guy playing the PRS is a bad azz!! Nice lead playing. He reminds me a bit of a Euro -Trash-Slash.

  • just cos-zeppelin

  • This guys rules the world :D

  • Saw them on Monster of Rock as well. Oxford Plains Speedway up here in Maine.

  • WOW I saw them At Monster Of Rock 1988 In Los Angeles, First Band then Dokken, Scorpions, Metallica and then Van Halen what A night

  • I saw the same show in Memphis.  Damn I'm gettin old. But I agree. What a freakin show!! Best concert I've ever been to!!

  • I'm aging with you all too. Monsters Of Rock 88', Los Angeles, California over here!

  • hey paul66511 i saw that tour in dc at rfk stadium. got there at 12 and no beer till 4. kingdom come opened up it was van halen headlining and the scorps and metallice.awesome show. sadly the only time i got to see metallica and the scorpions.the sound mnan needed a beating it was so distorted and loud it sucked.i love loudbut not when you can't tell metal from rap you know.

  • James Kottak was incredible on drums indeed best part of this band IMHO. Great song

  • Love you lenny wolf

  • GIANTS STADIUM 1988 Monsters of rock opening band

  • I saw them on the Monsters of Rock tour in 88(with Dokken, Metallica, Scorpions, Van Halen). Kingdom Come tore it up. James Kottak was incredible on drums.

  • He's a beast for sure. His single stroke rolls are quite impressive.

  • saw them in '88 supporting magnum at newcastle city hall....they were awesome...stole the show.

  • they sped it up live. SWEET

  • love this video and the drums are awesome

    this song kicks thanks for posting it

  • Well put, Weissmenchland. Amen. If it sounds good, then listen to it. If you don't like it, then so be it. Personally, I love Zep and Kingdom. They both sound great.

  • Lenny Wolf sounds great live

  • this band started as an led zeppelin cover band. but there own songs are great do.they have my sympathy

  • You ate a dick for making that comment.

  • love this band, dont think they copy zeppelin in all ways. But this song is like Kashmir II, isnt?

  • been a long time since i listened to this band forgot how good they are who cares if they say they sound like the zep better than sounding like shit like alot of bands they rock.

  • waz this like an openin act for BON JOVI?

  • When I saw them they opened up for The Scorpions.

  • With all the Zep comparisons how 'bout the fact Lenny Wolfe actually sounds more like Geddy Lee from Rush than he does Robert Plant.

  • Who hasn't ripped off Led Zeppelin? Come on,fucking David Coverdale ripped off Robert Plant. Its a tired argument. Just enjoy the music and move on.

  • The Beatles stole Elvis stole the Stones stole

    The Who stole,Zeppelin stole,If you haver ever played you steel to be noticed !

  • I really don't care if kingdom come sounds like LZ. This song is one of the most kick ass songs ever made.

  • metallica's do-boy Bob rock produced their first album (which this song is from) and said "I knew it was gonna sound like zeppelin but fuck it I knew it would sell a million if it did and it did" I saw them at monsters of rock philly 88 and they were good, solid performance by the whole band

  • I think this livevideo and their first album named "Kingdom Come" is a proof that thought with strong references to LZ.. so had the band everything... Great musicians and melodies. Did actually hear KC before LZ, and was the main reason why i did start listen to. Who i prefer the most? KC:-)

  • is this james kottak?? drum solo is cool!!

  • Everybody copies someone, so shut the fuck up and enjoy the fucking music!!!

  • thankyou. i dnt really care that it sounds like LZ. everybody is influenced by someone and is obviously gonna sound like them if they like that music. if the song is good then who gives a shit

  • Led Zep? Who cares?  They Rock. Go home and cry me a tear, hippie Zep heads!

  • THIS IS A FUCKING COPY OF LED ZEPPELIN

  • yeah, fuck them !! i dont like it. they are funny.

  • Led Zeppelin I was a total rip off....every song was stolen except one. So take your copy and clone trash talk and keep on keeping on!

  • Actually, they never stole Zep songs, they were influence heavily by them, obviously. As a HUGE Zep fan myself, I take no offense to someone borrowing the sound. Don't forget, Zep was SUED in a court of law for stealing songs note-for-note AND lyrics of black blues artists. Zep made a fortune on the songs and the black blues artists never got a cent! I love Zep, but what they did was wrong. Kingdom Come may have "borrowed" the Zep sound, but at least they never stole songs.

  • Right you are ladywrestlingfan! I've been a guitarist for 27 years and am HUGELY influenced by Jimmy Page's playing. I don't get the indignation of Zeppelin fans over KC borrowing their sound. What most Zeppelin fans don't realize is that as much as KC may have "ripped off" Zeppelin, Zeppelin did the SAME thing to black blues artists.  Zeppelin, trumps KC in that Zeppelin actually STOLE entire songs, & made a killing with OTHER PEOPLE'S MUSIC! Zeppelin fans need to lighten up.

  • you make an awesome point. i hate all this trash talk about stealing songs and sounding like LZ. if the song is good then just shutup n listen to it. Its the same sort of music and style it doesnt mean theyve stolen it

  • Influenced? I think is a little bit more than that....

  • the kingdome come are "only" the best clone of Led zeppelin

  • great band and lennys the best

    wow...the speed is all over the place on this. They start really fast then it slows down a lot

  • Lenny Rules.

    Lemmy does rule, but what does Motorhead have to do with this?

    I didn't say Lemmy, I said Lenny!

    Get It On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow they RACE through this song..it's way too fast!

  • eee vamo kingdm come!!! they ae like led zeppelon because they were fans of that band....i thin they started to play to do back led zeppeling play again without bonzo

    i know i konw, my english is a shit but what can i do??i don't even know what i'm doing now xD

  • Led Zeppelin, LEd Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin.

  • Band is terrible but JAMES KOTTAK ROCKS...This is very bad zeppelin rip off band.

  • Come on Lenny... let's do a show in FL on UDTV!!!!

  • saw these live with once in the uk,cracking band live

  • PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong , But wasn't this guy the LEAD Singer for the TYGER'S OF PAN TANG w/ John Sykes (Before WHITESNAKE) Fame???

  • I FARTED,

  • what a load of old cock. they should all be boiled in oil

  • Good remake of KASHMIR...

  • I don´t understand why the people say that Kingdom Come is like Led Zeppelin:

    KC rocks, LS sucks.

  • Lenny Wolf is God!!!

  • Kyllä se Zeppeltä kuulostaa, hieno cover mininki!

  • Fooking rubbish!!

  • quote from Jimmy Page: "they lived in England, yet claim they never heard os Led Zeppelin" ok right.. but i do admit, i loved this CD!

  • I could care less about all the Zeppelin copyband cuts Kingdom Come was and still is having to endure for this song and probably their whole catalog! You gotta admit this is a GOOD kick-ass song! I've always liked it and always will! THANK YOU for posting this "in concert" extended version! AWESOME Drum Solo!

  • they should have just been a zep cover band, which this is anyway.

  • Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

  • great, but you should see j.b. frank with the porn flakes!

  • awesome song and video!!! thanks

  • best version ever of the best song ever.

  • Yeah, Kottak is kicking some serious ass on here.

  • James kottak is one of the best rock drummer I've ever seen.

    Super underrated.

  • wow they sped the song up live, I prefer the studio version, much more groovy!

  • Its a freaking shame that the same lineup isnt on thre anymore, i was lucky enough to have seen em live along time ago, who ever posted this can you post more??

    Thnaks!!!!

    James kottak still is crazy with the Scorpions

  • Thanks very very much for this video!! :)
