The Coolest Cover Tune - Ramble On
« on: January 07, 2003, 02:25:02 PM »
by Dread Zeppelin

I've mentioned this band a few times here..finally D/L'd Kazaalite and got a few of their tunes.

If anyone wants a copy of this tune I can zip it and e-mail it, messenger it, or you can D/L it for yourself.

Possibly the best cover of a song I've heard....I like it better than the original.

Ramble On is one of my favorite Led Zep songs.  Probably due to the LOTR connection.

Weazel..will do, when I get home.


Rip...these guys aren't new they've been around for years, I just assumed they were a typical Led Zep cover band and ignored them when I used to go see bands in Toronto.   But they are far from typical.

They take Led Zeppelin tunes and "reggae" them up...but the lead singer is an Elvis Impersonator.  A truly rare mix...but they do it brilliantly.

It may be the "coolest" cover tune, but I still say the best (or at least one of the best) is Hendrix covering All Along the Watchtower.

Personally, I don't really think Dread Zep is all that "great", I think they are...  "funny".  :)

they don't have to be great musicians to sound good or make me like them.  Led Zepplin, dread zep, whomever..

if it sounds good go with it.

kinda like why I liked ZZ Top stuff... easy to play but fun to listen to

You're asking on a BBS frequented by geeks if anyone has been to a Rush concert?
