Title: The Coolest Cover Tune - Ramble On
Post by: Curval 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.

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.

I had sooooo many opportunities to see them and just didn't go. Really wish I had...do they still play live?

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

Post by: Wlfgng on January 07, 2003, 03:48:56 PM: 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?

Title: Speaking of cover tunes.
Post by: weazel on January 07, 2003, 04:39:04 PM: I don't remember the name but I think the original artist was Argent.

No lyrics that I recall, but has a driving drum beat to it.

There was a techno version released in the late 80s-early 90s, it's played during NFL games sometimes.

Anyone know the name of it and where I can get an mp3 of it?

Post by: Curval on January 07, 2003, 04:54:29 PM: Weazel...just got home...

Damn...the file is still too big to send through Yahoo, even zipped. I'll put it on a zip disk and take it back to the office tomorrow and mail it from there.

Sorry for the delay.

Post by: 2stony on January 07, 2003, 05:55:24 PM: There's no substitute for Led Zepplin. I was able to see them twice in concert and the shows were great.
I talked to someone not too long ago that was raving about "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam. I told him that the song was originally recorded in the early sixties and that Pearl Jam's version absolutely stunk.

You are thinking of Gary Glitter...

I think the tune is Rock and Roll #2 or something like that.. too lazy to look it up.

Let me know.
