Daniel Boyer Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 They're not copycat bands, they're cover bands. A copycat Zep band would be Kingdom Come, or Whitesnake. Both of them did it really badly. Thanks,Cover bands ok...righton....peace. Quote

Both of them did it really badly. Seen them on youtube....first seemed to be really close to the beat,after listisening to the origaials...man they are way off. Quote
Daniel Boyer Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 Have you seen Asian Shower Dudes, Daniel? If not, check out their version of Wanton Song. You will never listen to the original in the same way again - or at all, possibly, cos I actually think it's better than the original. Your kidding .............. Quote
danelectro Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 The term is tribute band. Personally I don't indulge but they don't give me heartburn or anything like that. Quote
joey1985 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 I have heard a lot of so called great tribute bands and they all blow big time, they don't capture the live sound of led Zeppelin which is not an easy task and on top of that the feel and the sound is just not there. I'm also very much for original music but I have no problem with good tribute bands, if it's good it's good nothing wrong with that Quote
joey1985 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 and why is this in the photos section? Quote
ledzepfvr Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 No band will ever match the magic that Zeppelin had in their day. I am just sorry I never got to see that magic live. I can only read about other's experiences and watch the videos. A good tribute band can give the feeling to a new generation of fans and keep the music in that timeless loop and to seek out the original . I have seen Led Zepagain a couple of times and really enjoyed it. But make no mistake, I know I was seeing a tribute band. You will find that there are people here that are on both sides of the fence when it comes to this. And that is ok. As always, its a matter of taste and opinion. Quote
Flyingzepp Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Wow, cool thread..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Quote

Patrizia Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 This is a really good verson of When the Levee Breaks by Zepparella. I love the harmonica, slide guitar is good too. But nothing beats the real deal. Quote
Dallas Knebs Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 tributes are another form of bootlegs to me and zepparella has plenty of both boots and legs... bass player wearinging painters overalls with a halter top sewn in? All in favor I think... Quote
super_fly_16 Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 maybe its just me but i like the original the best. i heard some covers by the band of joy and they were not the same Quote
Chris_Germany Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Well, at least it is a chance to hear some live Led Zeppelin music. I was at a "Physical Graffiti" Gig last week. They were awesome!!! Quote
