Favourite Zep clone?
Been digging Kingdom Come lately. First album is a classic but plenty of good stuff after that as well. Bad Image is a really good album as well.
Honorable mention goes to Zebra.

Great White, that Zep covers album is great.
Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Don't like Zepplin or Kingdom Come or Great White. But I do like me some Greta Van Fleet.

Whitesnake during the period when they released their 3 good albums.

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Fastway was compared to them, I think because of Dave King's pipes.
I always thought that Fastway and All Fired Up were solid. I never really got the Zep comparison myself. I'm not much of a Zeppelin fan. I dig GVF tho'.

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
I'm voting for Badlands also. The S/T is a classic.
Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Detective. That first record is a scorcher. https://youtu.be/Cc6Ua9Jk18U?list=PLc7z ... L-cNveKi-n
Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Not sure I'd consider Badlands a Zeppelin clone.

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
The band that's currently doing it the best is GVF. And they're leaning into it. Not trying to distance themselves from it like most bands that draw the Zep comp early in their careers...

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Love the first Kingdom Come album. Great White’ss One Bitten as well.
Ironically, I don’t like Zeppelin much.

Yeah, every time I hear "Alone" or "All I wanna Do is Make Love to You" on the radio, I think; "Fucking Zep-clone bullshit ripoff artists!"

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Aren't the girls notorious for playing a couple of Zep tunes in their live set?
Like always? They've done it for years. I always thought it was kind of weird since they aren't really Zep clones

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
The correct answer is, as mentioned above, Whitesnake for WS87. Kingdom Come would be a close second, though. Honorable mention to Blue Murder's debut as well.

Yeah they cover them, but as you mention, they're not a 'Zep clone'.Stinky McFister wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 3:19 pmAren't the girls notorious for playing a couple of Zep tunes in their live set?

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Ooooo. I forgot Fastway. I like them even better than Detective.
So them.
So them.
Re: Favourite Zep clone?
Their biggest song before Alone, Barracuda, couldn't be more Zeppelin if it tried.sirthx2 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 7:10 pmYeah they cover them, but as you mention, they're not a 'Zep clone'.Stinky McFister wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 3:19 pmAren't the girls notorious for playing a couple of Zep tunes in their live set?

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
I hate to admit it, but for years I thought Jimmy Page was the singer in Led Zeppelin because I heard Coverdale/Page and assumed that the singer must be the guy from Led Zeppelin.DemonFilth2001 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 4:45 am Whitesnake during the period when they released their 3 good albums.
The Great White Zeppelin covers are fantastic.
Re: Favourite Zep clone?
One song (or 10) does not make a band that's been around 5 decades a Zep clone. Harder to find a band that doesn't have a song or songs that channel Zeppelin.GoodJudge wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 10:23 pmTheir biggest song before Alone, Barracuda, couldn't be more Zeppelin if it tried.sirthx2 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 7:10 pmYeah they cover them, but as you mention, they're not a 'Zep clone'.Stinky McFister wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 3:19 pm

Umm.....

Yeah I know, it's a cover. So Barracuda probably sounds like Joni Mitchell.
Re: Favourite Zep clone?
I guess I'm in the minority in thinking that the GVF "Zeppelin Clone" thing is way, way overblown.GreatWhiteSnake wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 3:36 pm The band that's currently doing it the best is GVF.

It's almost entirely down to the first thing everyone heard from them being the "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mamaaaa" line at the start of Highway Tune.
That line (on the recording) sounds identical to Plant, and literally everyone and their dog was like "ohhhh they're trying to be Led Zeppelin!!!".
Beyond literally that line, they mostly just sound like any other throwback-ish rock band to me.
His voice has already deteriorated/changed enough that he's lost a significant amount of what made him sound like Plant to begin with, as well.

DIrty Honey has some Zep vibes, and they are much much much better than GVF.

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
I'm going to see Lez Zeppelin at the end of June. It's only the one original woman but still, I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Favourite Zep clone?
it dawned on me (as I was listening to them today) that I don't think this band has been mentioned
BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION
not from a Plant/Hughes perspective but the sound of the band. Especially with Bonzo Jr on the skins
