DREAD ZEPPELIN Good Times Bad Times

[Getthefuckoffmylawn]

These guys are fucking great

[pffbh]

awesome guitar solo ...

[Dreddpyraterob]

What's next Tortelvis, remix everything dubstep style? Only kidding of course, come back to Australia, your fans need you!

[theKEB42]

i wonder what Elvis thinks...

[TheRocketSilo]

tortelvis rocks !

[BassFever74]

that dude plays the 1/2 size bass alot

[DeadlyToke]

yep, dread zeppelin sure does suck balls

[coooldeal]

@DeadlyToke let me guess.while you do the shaft bitch.

[DeadlyToke]

@coooldeal why you so mad though?



[trunkatedpig]

This is proof that no matter what you do to this song, it still sounds good.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@trunkatedpig

Now, if that's a challenge... I'm sure that there was LOTS we could've done to this song to make it sound bad. How about letting Kid Rock do a remake? I'm sure that wouldn't sound so good!

[DancingSpiderman]

BWAAhahahaha, this is soo Boffo.

Tortelvis looks like my high school band teacher from the late 1970s. I bet Tortelvis wears Hai Karate, and squirts some Binaca to keep his breath fresh.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@DancingSpiderman

He DOES squirt Binaca... from his PORES!

[coooldeal]

@DancingSpiderman wow you totally suck!BWAAhahahaha,dipshit.

[Comrick317]

Ya mon.

[flyvibe71]

its funny cause its 1994, but it looks like 1984, canada t.v. i guess

[order57]

A real tribute to Leds.

[tallulahwear]

saw you guys on my 19th birthday waay back when....fantastic band!! still have the t-shirt!!

[Dhragonfly]

lol this is so great! i can't believe i JUST discovered this cover band!!

[Forvolet]

awesome karate moves at 2:22 :D :D

[Forvolet]

the amount of talent makes me humble

[TheMalthe95]

This really sucks.

[Caiomerlino1]

how to ruin a song. they should pay millions of dollars to Led Zeppelin and me.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@Caiomerlino1

Your check is in the mail!

[StanBennet]

@Caiomerlino1 Robert Plant loves these guys.

[Caiomerlino1]

Come rovinare una canzone. Dovrebbero pagare milioni di danni ai Led Zeppelin e a me.

[flesheatingvirus70]

great live show

[GaAjPwNz]

if there was more consentration toward jimmy page in the guitar and better back up vocals it could have some serious potential for a great remake.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@GaAjPwNz

You can't have any idea how relieved this makes me. There is potential... people. Potential!!!

[Dreddpyraterob]

...ah...give me 2 spicy beanburgers...oh and a small diet coke...I'm on a diet...

[HonkIfYouLoveHonking]

This proves it, Elvis is alive. At least he was back in 94.

[PolyesterCrowley777]

Looks like Global TV in Toronto, Ontario. Aeons ago when they last played in this part of the world. Tortelvis & Co. please come back!

[krabathor117]

I'm interested in how much royalties and other costs would be to use this as my official theme song. I would need Charlie Haj, or a stunt Haj, to follow me around with a boombox playing this while I run errands, go on dates, and attend family functions. Also, would it cost extra to have Charlie Haj have a towel and cup of water ready for me at all times?

[DancingSpiderman]

@krabathor117 You can prolly get a Charlie Haj locally and quite inexpensively with a CraigList ad... put the ad in "Plumber's Services"

[manfromregina]

Tort, Saskatchewan.

[huzza09]

Who the fuck is that creepy guy that just stands in the back?

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@huzza09

That creepy guy is none other than Charlie Haj... the man that hands Tortelvis his water and towels on stage.

[centerforce2]

@huzza09 Hey, everyone needs a guide to help them down off of their acid trip (i.e. a very important employee of the band).

[DancingSpiderman]

@huzza09 It's Charlie Haj... he's The FreshMaker.

[lheavy1970]

Tortelvis is better than Elvis !!!!!!!!

[dreadzeppelindottv]

Tortelvis would simply ask you to watch your language. Li'l Lisa Marie may be reading this. There is no hanky panky or political this 'n that in Dread Zeppelin.

[DancingSpiderman]

@dreadzeppelindottv haha

[HebusxJebus]

don't fuck with ed

[shigella63]

This is amazing!

[olliearl]

Sheer loveliness gentleman

[Exilemainstreet]

Or Skynryd songs from Gimme Back. Whichever turns out to be funnier.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@Exilemainstreet ...

Black Oak Arkansas are WAY funnier than Skynyrd... trust me!

[Exilemainstreet]

I'm currently putting together a Million Dollar Quartet trio that does Presence-era Zep songs.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@Exilemainstreet ...

As far as I know, Jerry Lee Lewis is the only one available for such an event and he's a bit, um... shaky.

[crazyunclerex59]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I thought these guys disbanded, but to my sheer delite, "THEY'RE BACK" these guys are better than any cover group I've ever witnessed. "Sing on brotha, Play on drumma"- Jimi Hendrix

[tenderitis2]

It just occurred to me - Elvis is actually still alive, singing Zep songs in DZ.

It is obvious now that I thnk about it.

[skunkdad7]

brilliant !

[Hot80s]

im sure E sang Zep when alone.

[Witty9171]

Where the hell are you guys?? I have been waiting on new stuff forever! Love it all!!!

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@Witty9171 Working on a new live album... may be download only called "Don't mess With Ed: Live at the 9:30 Club 1989." Check out dreadzeppelin.tv for more info.

[MrMakesmoke]

Ive been practising your move at the end for months but i cant seam to master it. Any pointers?

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@MrMakesmoke It's kind of like the blues... you can practice it all you want, but until you've *lived it*, it's impossible to perform. Get out there and eat a few deep fried hot & spicy beanburgers; see if you can gain about fifty pounds... every night, sing gospel songs until dawn with the boys. That's really all I can tell ya. Good luck.

[lanny109]

Why is that guy just standing there?

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@lanny109 He is loitering on stage!

[RickyRocker821]

it is so elvis!

[AfroPoli]

That's an awesome show, good music and funny as hell. Incredible how much the lead singer sounds like Elvis!

[zuneslave]

"Kirk to Scotty, there's been a terrible accident on the transporter deck!"

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@zuneslave Ayyyyyyy... and I can't reverse it, Captain. I 'aven't got th' POWER!!!

[TheMarijuannaMan]

Whats with the guy standing at the back

[thebp9999]

The news guys didn't spell zepplin right.

[ClutchGomez]

pure genius!!!

[dprague]

The announcer acts like this is not a serious band. WTF?

[Zannimals]

@dprague  Looks like Martha Stewart

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@HouseOfTheGraffiti...  Who, indeed?

[barnacleboymtk]

feckin absolutely genius!

[jb195935]

low life wanna be rock band

[SuperFantasticMan]

lol. This is actually good. That's the best part.

[AlphaTeamMormon]

For all of those people who like this song it sucks by Dread Zeppelin and you all have bad taste in music Led Zeppelin is the only band in the world that can play their music because their the only people who are good at it.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@AlphaTeamMormon... And without John Bonham, NO ONE can play it!!!

[dprague]

@AlphaTeamMormon you are an idiot.

[MrCincinnatian]

@AlphaTeamMormon Go fuck off uptight you uptight bastard

[mystinger72]

Dude, best fuckin Dread Zep song ever. This is cool. I have known who they are, and most of the time I hate them, but this is pretty fuckin cool !!

[Joharr]

Hot spicy beanburger :-) At the beginning I've heard "hot spicy bimber" (bimber is a name for a self-made vodka).

[chefalefadingdong]

ive always loved them, but damn they play the ugliest guitars lol

[TrempBoy2]

lmfao, never thought I'd see a fat guy dressed as elvis singing along to good times bad times

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@TrempBoy2 ... Life can be strange.

[LORDGOAT1976]

LOL are they still together, I remember hearing them around 1990.

[carolinapanthers187]

the ending is just great... that new move blew my mind, so good

[JudgeJulieLit]

Brilliant! the lead singer makes us BELIEVE he IS Elvis; has the soul and moves, and does the voice purrfectly. Kudoes to this band -- a hilarious satire, yet their sound is good, a pleasing, lower key version of Zep.

[jagara1]

Just read a comment on a wigfield video with someone saying the music of the mid 90s was great - jesus christ!

So I came here to see real music :)

[Capitao70]

Too bad for to be so goooood! ahahah TortElvis is a real shame ahahaha but Sings a lot one more time: ahahahah What a Band!!!! ahahaha

[gonadcancervictim]

epic

[tripps5415]

is this for real?

[phileesarah]

wonderin' what's the secret ingredient in the "spicy bean burger" ?

[snakeEyes4121]

sounds like meatloaf

[bilethezombie]

If you hat them so much, why are you viewing a video? the 90s were awesome.......................­.....the 80s were lame. Plus, Robert Plant LOVES Dread Zeppelin!

[Whyrendog]

You guys are nuts, this is the greatest lol. They pulled it off in my opinion, it might look stupid now but the formula worked! Whose with me? Ok, stop throwing tomatoes! I get it...

[poopfist]

These guys are AMAZING!!! When they came out, I hated them cuz I was such a Zep fan. I thought it was sacrilege and they were destroying music. Now I appreciate them for what they are, solid musicians that just did what Zep was doing all along, borrowing some old blues to rock out with and make their own.

F$%& the haters!!!

[Hurtzdoughnut]

DR. wrote prescription says Need more towel guy!!!

[ZackHuckins]

man i love zeppelin and i love elvis and i love chocalate and when you mix all that you get dread zeppelin with more to love elvis singing lead

[83shovel]

@ZackHuckins agree- a good, but weird, combo

[razamanaz90]

These guys kick ass! excellent !!!!!!!!

[drFROSTYNUGG]

mid 90s WERE SO FUCKIN LAME!

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@drFROSTYNUGG... You cant blame the whole of the mid-nineties on Dread Zeppelin, can you?

[drFROSTYNUGG]

@dreadzeppelindottv ...NO BUT THEY ''YOU'' ARE MOST DEFINATLY A PRODUCT OF THE 90s....I WAS JUST HIGH AND BEING A DICK....SORRY NO DISRESPECT INTENDED

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@drFROSTYNUGG No need to apologize, Doc Frosty. One of the things that I like best about DZ is that they were polarizing; you either loved 'em or hated 'em. The mighty Dread conjured strong emotions and I embrace all of them.

But i do appreciate your being a gentleman. Thank you!

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

@dreadzeppelindottv Why doesn't anyone notice that that guitar solo is so fucking intense, I love how they just zoom in on Butt boy while the solos glaring like a laser beam in space

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR Ha ha... Poor direction. Bear in mind that the people that ran the show had no clue who we were until we arrived probably 30 minutes before air time. And by the time they stopped staring at us in open mouthed amazement, realized that they didn't know a bass player from the soloist. To their credit, at least they show someone holding a guitar during the solo. Usually, they'd just do more close-ups of Tortelvis (scary!).

That Carl Jah sure played it pretty, didn't he?

[PichonIglesias]

@dreadzeppelindottv Am I a bit short of sight or is Butt Boy playing the bass on this song?The guitar player does not look like B.B. to me.Either way,great solo.In my opinion,this cover sounds way better than the original.Full of emotion.Just great!

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@PichonIglesias This is the original band... Butt Boy (Put-Mon) on bass; Carl Jah and Jah Paul Jo playing the gee-tars. Spice playing drums (sadly, no Fresh Cheese 'n' Cheese). What was and what should never have been!

[ghbrasil]

@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR Good guitar and GREAT bass!! I love a good bass! Man, they dong art, just like this, is art... Live an let die GUYS!!!

[headly66]

@drFROSTYNUGG Not nearly as lame as this decade.

[boomer1954ful]

@drFROSTYNUGG No! they are simply humorous, sarcastic, outlandish, laughing at the irony of it all. That one guitar player is quite good in his solo too.

[poolepaul]

This is fucking pure gold!!!!

[jwgacyful]

that host seems so straight laced, perfect intro for such an off the wall band

[squireman72]

Tortelvis is Andy Kaufman. Andy Lives!!!

[earsoup]

Tortelvis for president !

[tinian33]

Absolutely stellar performance!!! I'm familiar with their rendition of Heartbreaker from back in the day, but this gem ranks way up there as well. The lead singer actually reminds me of a professional wrestling manager from the 1970s........"Classy' Fred Blassie meets The Grand Wizard with a serious case of untreated hypothyroidism, exacerbated by a glutenous salt-laden diet devoid of fiber.

Oh....and Jimmy Page has nothing on this guitar virtuoso.

[ghorn19]

Again, the fact that Tortelvis has to ask Ed for the name of the song he's about to perform was totally sublime..........perfect.

[DaniboyBR2]

This Elvis guy sucks, if they did some more rehearsal they could make some serious dub Led kick-ass cover.

[DaniboyBR2]

@DaniboyBR2 Dude, shut up, this song rocked.

[unclebob100]

@DaniboyBR2 Yes, but how original would that be?

[lorez71]

Remember seeing them play at Tailgate Charlies in Hamilton, Ontario around '92.

One of thee best live shows ever!

[zombiegrease]

ooh, and adam west!!!

[sarchiapone2009]

you are crazy talents!!!

[Ignore14]

WTF.

[HardAsARock222]

3:20-3:44 LMAO!!!! that was so funny, Dread Zeppelin is the best!!!!! "Charlie give me a towel"

[unclebob100]

@HardAsARock222 And Charlie does hand him the towel...with class...see the nice spin he puts on it before handing it over? That move should be named after him. Hmmm... got to work on that one.

[HardAsARock222]

@unclebob100 I sure did notice, I assume it takes years to master a skill like that. Too much style and grace... Charlie is the man!!!

[unclebob100]

@HardAsARock222 How 'bout "The Charlie Haj Toss"?

[HardAsARock222]

@unclebob100 now thats what I'm talkin bout! you my man are a true visionary.

[unclebob100]

@HardAsARock222 Thanks man....I try.

[unclebob100]

I'd like to see William Shatner join the group and sing alongside Tortelvis. Magic could happen!

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@unclebob100 or we could all get "beamed up."

[83shovel]

@unclebob100 Led Zeppelin, reggae, Elvis. Put them in a blender- pure greatness.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@83shovel On the frappé setting, naturally.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@unclebob100 ....They could do a jazzy Lucy In The Sky or Rocket Man. (You know it's gunna be a long long time )

[stevieguitarify]

this is fucking hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha

[curiousgeorge555]

Man, all I can do is bust up laughin!!! ALL the while enjoying the killer music! Love Led Zep and I love Dread Zep! Where is Frank?

[TheEarthisAncient]

haha haa wow this is too great!

[joakorush2112]

WE LOVE YOU CHARLIE!!!

[mandaltby]

awesome

[yearofox]

awesome, but how come the reggae vocals sound different from un-led-ed?

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@yearofox It's Ed Zeppelin's Twin Brother! Go to the blog section of Dreadzeppelindottv for the whole story (replace the "dot" with a period... you know!)

[wheezel100]

good band

[pavilion8660c]

So Charlie is the Towel guy. I was wondering what he was doing just standing there the whole time.

[dreadzeppelindottv]

@pavilion8660c Radiating charisma!

[unclebob100]

@pavilion8660c Don't demean Charlie! He also gets Tortelvis Water....

[hsswthearts]

Human genome technology gone totally awry.....Robert Plant, Bob Marley and Elvis DNA all in the same test tube.....phenomenally successful experiment!!

[horns2112]

Like how they mis-spelled the band's name at the end.

[theMacvarish]

Who needs drugs! This crew and 4 beers, job done.

How did the host keep her face straight ?

[econoroller]

I saw them on acid in Venice...long story

You wouldn't understand.

HA HA HAHHA

They are loads of fun to see live :)

[darkseifer3]

jAjoAojAojAOJojaojAjoA fukin awesome HAHaHYhyAnAAYNahahahahhahahaha­h

[michalpiatek79]

incredible. super. fantastic humorous musicians

[14Everaldo]

It´s Funny and good.

Congratulations Dread Zeppelin.

[rastarigate]

AWESOME!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MarioMoreno]

rockabilly reggae metal, WTF!

[ledzepluvr42]

This is epic.... xD

[brioso77]

waaaajajajajaja

Fame!

[CPGagie]

Many years ago, he came on stage at a small venue in the UK, pulled out a pair of knickers and threw them at my wife :)

Thats my claim to fame,

[dricarock]

Fantastic.

[Jalolly]

Saw them live, at a reggae music festival, they definitely confused the shit out of most of the crowd who were expecting old school reggae...I loved it!

[jozeqfdsfs]

THIS IS GOOD, WHATEVER THIS IS

[jpmarkka]

Tortelvis rules!

[Helmuta1]

brilliant!

[greenjelo]

I have no idea what i just heard, but it's exalent.

[Flaksism]

@greenjelo

agreed.

[domnal]

Man if you go out with this stuff you'll go down like a Lead Balloon !! Pure anarchy !! I think that's why Planty likes this !!

[marcomulinex]

cosa avete contro Federica??

[anomalobicefalo]

morite

[TheBelva85]

@anomalobicefalo Imbecille non capisci niente.

[anomalobicefalo]

si si e' vero, tu sai tutto vero ? passi la tua vita a commentare e postare video.. tu sai cosa significa vivere.. gia' gia'... quando uno e' superiore.... cosa fai sabato sera ... ceni con la pubblicita' del mc donald e dopo fai sesso con la pubblicita' di intimo femminile ? Ti invidio, vorrei tanto essere come te, invece io ho una ragazza ... sai che palle...

vorrei potermi divertire come te ma non ho questa fortuna...

ciao belvina

[TheBelva85]

Ma francamente sei tu il cretino che sbrodola. Scrivi di meno e pensa di più cazzone.

E buona fortuna con la tua ragazza Federica. Ora sparisci.

[anomalobicefalo]

Veramente la mia ragazza non si chiama Federica, qui chi usa la mano amica anche dopo la prima eruzione cutanea a quanto capisco e' qualcun'altro, cmq hai ragione, se non ho la fortuna di apprezzare questi sommi maestri del rock posso anche andarmene, tanto i veri Zeppelin regneranno per sempre!

Ciao belvina, attenta alle unghiette!

[TheBelva85]

Mamma mia ma quanto sei noioso!

Dai sciolla.

[limaktba]

This band is amazing.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Dont still louis ck insults >.>
