I hate when Zeppelin fans hate on these guys. I'm a huge Zeppelin fan and love Dread Zeppelin. Hell, Robert Plant is one of these guys' biggest fans. He loves them.
I've fallen... in love with Dread Zeppelin... and I can't get up! This song is a rocker, with a good little spoken breakdown with snake charmer riff. Fetch me a towel!
I've seen the Rolling Stones at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1974, Pink Floyd in 1977, U2 at Camp Randall and I've also seen Dread Zeppelin at The Eagles Ballroom (1992?) and Dread, to this day, is the most memorable and the funnest show I've been at to date.
Bad cover for sure... too fast, its like a poor mix of Rock and Roll, Communication Breakdown and Houses of the Holy, at that speed the bass makes it sound "bouncy", rock isn't about speed.
Going to type in Ace of Spades; see if I can find a melodic version. They tried to ban Elvis and Jerry Lee because people moved and had fun when they listened.
I used to tell Led Zeppelin freaks, "Don't worry, we won't break into your room at mom's house and steal your Led Zeppelin albums... but if you want to hear "Stairway To Heaven" live (and who the hell doesn't?), we're the only game in town."
Seriously... no more no less. Don't overthink it. You could injure yourself. And who needs that?
I DO like origininality and this group is FAR from original. They simply use Zep tunes....the structure and lyrics and tempo..and alter it. That is not original...it is stupid and even childish. ORIGINAL would be writing your own material. Have you seen every Zep tribute band? How do you KNOW that a few of them do not do a pretty good job of recreating the Zep experience and preserving the integrity of the music?
Agreed. There are Zep tribute bands that strive to recreate the whole Led Zep experience for the benefit of fans who never had the opportunity to see them live. They preserve the INTEGRITY of the music. These clowns don't do that at all. I despise them.
For the small minded, there are hordes of bands that TRY to preserve the INTEGRITY of the real band... (whisper: But they're not very good). If you like ORIGINALITY... perhaps something a bit different, Dread Zeppelin were an interesting diversion.
Maybe Plant says that because it's more gracious than saying..."they're mocking us"...(which is all they're really doing so why Plant would actually "love them" is hard to believe, in my opinion.
They truly suck. Yes, the whole Elvis-comment on culture thing is funny....but to butcher great songs like this is pointless. They are a complete waste of true Zeppelin lovers time.
Quote:-"I'll not have him at any price-he's not my cup of tea" ... President Nixon, when meeting Elvis dressed as extravagantly as only Elvis knew how, said "Mr. Presley, you certainly are a snappy dresser". To which Elvis replied "Well Mr. President, you have your show to run and I have mine". ...

The Elvis impersonator's real last name is Tortel. It was a natural progression.
