Rock And Roll Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Which cover of Zeppelin song are your best. Mine are: Communication Breakdown from Iron Maiden and Out on the Tiles from Megadeth Quote
docron Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 [blind Melon did a pretty good job with Out On The Tiles live too] [The version they did for the Led Zeppelin Tribute compilation album was crap in comparison to the way they played it in concert... I wish a good video was available, but all the ones on youtube are shitty quality] [ ] Quote
SuperDave Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Dancing Days by Stone Temple Pilots was quite good. I also think Alter Bridge's version of Kashmir is good as well. Quote
reswati Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 The Rover by Heart (heard it on some 1976 live bootleg, so incredibly HEAVY) Quote
Stargroves Tangie Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Tea For One by Joe Bonamassa Quote
Flutugirlrockz Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Tea For One by Joe BonamassaDose Strairway to Gilligans Island count if so that Quote
LukeTheDuke Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 As written on some old similar thread, I think that all made by Dread Zeppelin is / was cool and funny. I agree with Communication breakdown plus Frank Zappa STH (I think it's the best cover version). ... but there are so many disgusting and awful out there ... Quote
Roxie Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Battle Of Evermore - The Lovemongers (Ann & Nancy Wilson) Quote
reswati Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Battle Of Evermore - The Lovemongers (Ann & Nancy Wilson) Double that one....it's fantastic indeed Roxie! Quote
Roxie Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Double that one....it's fantastic indeed Roxie! For a brief time I actually would say to people it was better than the original. But then I realized what I was saying. Quote
3hrsoflunacy Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Battle Of Evermore - The Lovemongers (Ann & Nancy Wilson) I think that is probably my favorite, too. Excellent choice. I like some of the Dread Zeppelin stuff, and STP's "Dancing Days." Quote
Flutugirlrockz Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Rolf Haris's version of Stairway is interesting. Plus there is an Aussie show called The Money or the gun and every episode had a version of Stairway to Heaven by different artists. Edited September 30, 2008 by Flutugirlrockz Quote
bonzo1026 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Don't remember the channel but I saw a show called "Heart and friends" from Atlantic City and Gretchen Wilson came out and knocked the shit out of Rock and Roll. I'm no country fan so I didn't expect much but she was ON! Very impressive! Didn't mind Duran Duran's version of Thank You either. Quote
DragonRouge Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Tool's version of No Quarter blew me away. They're probably the only band that could get away with changing some of the lyrics in a Led Zeppelin cover. Quote
JohnnyGuitar Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Yep, TOOL's version of No Quarter flat out SLAYS. Quote
59LesPaul Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Not quite Led Zeppelin,but close...... Aerosmiths' cover of the Yardbirds' cover/version of "Train Kept A Rollin'" Edited September 30, 2008 by 59LesPaul Quote
DragonRouge Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 If I'm not mistaken, Train Kept A Rollin was the first song Zep played together. Quote
docron Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Holy shit, how could I forget Tool covering No Quarter... the shit's tight! Heres a live performance from 1995: Its a little slow at the start... but I'd definitely reccommend watching this to the very end... the ending is insane. They actually play it alot better than this, I've seen it live.., but this is the only video I could find that sounds decent... http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=tYqxnBaNOKk&...feature=related Quote
bonzo1026 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Just got turned on to a version of Immigrant Song from a band called Demons and Wizards. Not bad. I cringed at the double bass but.......... Quote
aen27 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 If I'm not mistaken, Train Kept A Rollin was the first song Zep played together. That's right. Because of the Yardbirds. "Good Hot One," the soundboard from Zurich, they opened with it. The only cover of their songs that I really will listen to is Godsmack's "Good Times Bad Times," because it sounds so close. Quote
Darth_Prime Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Not quite Led Zeppelin,but close...... Aerosmiths' cover of the Yardbirds' cover/version of "Train Kept A Rollin'" i concur i don't dig any covers people do of zep to be honest Quote
Aquamarine Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 The only one I like is Rodrigo y Gabriela's Stairway. Btw I thought this thread was about album covers! Y'know, pictures. Guess that dates me. Quote
ally Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Saw a Canadian band called Wide Mouth Mason do a cover of How Many More Times live back in 02 and was blown away. All the licks were there Quote
JRomero Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I love Great White's CD, "Great Zeppelin". It is a live recording of one of the special Led Zeppelin tribute shows they did back in 1998. Great White is fantastic at covering Led Zeppelin, and their singer, Jack Russell can really nail Robert Plant, yet give it his own originality. Here is a YouTube clip of them doing Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhcAS2-tBb8 Quote

He sang all of Robert's ad libs when he sung it. It was completely word for word like the studio version. Just a clone of it. You need to add your own touch to it, when doing something like this. Try to be at least a little bit unique about it. Quote
