561.0. "Dread Zeppelin" by GOES11::G_HOUSE (Did someone say tone?) Mon Apr 29 1991 14:46

    This is a note to discuss Dread Zeppelin.  Even though I've only heard
    one of their songs, these guys sound like a riot!
    
    There's a long interview with Jah Paul Jo and Carl Jah (the guitar
    players) in the May issue of Guitar Player magazine.

    did anyone say rip-off?
561.2VCSESU::MOSHER::COOKThe Cookster, 297-6936Mon Apr 29 1991 15:534
    
    No way. Listen to the album. It's incredible.

    I've got the album.
    it's an incredible rip-off!
561.4I see no humor!COMET::FRISBYAMon Apr 29 1991 15:5911
    Incredibly stupid!!!! 
    
       I love Led Zeppelin and poeple may try but they never even come 
    close!
    
               These guys are a novelty band and will be gone in a year!
    
          I saw their video and almost puked all over.

561.7MILKWY::SLABOUNTYSlugmania ... catch it!!Mon Apr 29 1991 19:4211
    
    	I don't remember where I read it [might have been in this
    	conference] but Robert Plant LOVES these guys!!  If he isn't
    	calling Dread Zeppelin a rip-off then no one should.
    
    	And the album is fantastic ... the guitarist can easily keep
    	up with Jimmy Page.  Then again, so could I if I knew the
    	notes.

561.8JUPITR::BJUBINVILLEAAA AA, we drive you to drinkTue Apr 30 1991 04:534
        yea... we discussed this group when they first came out.
    The lead singer is a mexican imatation of Elvis right??
    
    Boz
561.9But Weird Al does do the Rolling Stones in a polka medley.MILKWY::SLABOUNTYSlugmania ... catch it!!Tue Apr 30 1991 14:059
    
    	And BTW, they're not trying to rip off anyone [IMO].  It's a
    	parody album of sorts ... not in the Weird Al sense of the
    	word, though.  More like Jim Nabors doing Beatles songs ...
    	uses the same songs, and puts them to a different type of
    	music.

    	songs raggae style ripping off anyone, and Robert Plant agrees.

                 Led Zeppelin are the kings and just because Page was a
    little sloppy doesn't mean sh^t!
    He is a legend!  But in no way does that piece of dogsh&t compare to

    and have studio players doing the guitar work backstage because I
    O.D.'d.

      If and I do say IF you ever become successful you will do some
    pretty stupid things too! Do that make you music any less worth?
    NO! oh...and I've never heard of studio players doing work 
    for Page!
    
                   You can't say you wouldn't want to be in the world
    leader and foremost rock band of all time?

    	Jimmy Page WAS successful ... back in the 60's, when guitar-
    	oriented music was still quite young.  Page didn't play with
    	feeling, he played with a violin bow.  8^)
    
    	He'd be eaten alive if he was still playing that stuff today.

    That why he's not playing anymore..8*)
       He did play with feeling...that's what got him by!
    RE::-2
           I said Rock band not pop/rock band.8*)
    
         I think that without Led Zeppelin there wouldn't be the kind of
    music that's coming out today!

    OK, I've heard enough. I gotta hear this band. Does anyone in the
    Colo Spgs area have a tape I can borrow? A band that stirs up this
    much controversy has to be worth a listen.

561.29still ramblingUSOPS::ZAPPIAa summer rambleTue Apr 30 1991 19:4826
    
    	Why is it that every note that gets into a discussion on Dred Zep
    	(I've seen it happen in UK_MUSIC and others) gets caught up in
    	a debate between people who worhship LZ in one degree or another 
    	(sayed half-serious!) to those who think LZ was nothing more than 
    	a cranked up fuzz box?  
    
    	Of course some mention of LZ should enter the discussion but why
    	not say the dabate for the L_Z note (39.*) and just talk about
    	the Dred here?
    
    	They have already shown that they're not going to continue doing the 
    	same 'ole thing (from what I've read that is) on the next release.  
    	So what if it's more covers but this time it will include Bob Marely, 
    	Elvis, and Yardbirds.  What they do is surely a step above covers 
    	(and I'm not putting down covers at all) and at least they're already
    	varying off the track a bit by what some may expect as their next
    	step.
    
    	They shouldn't not be considered like the morans who lip synch and all 
    	the other crap that we know goes on.  
    
    	I missed them last time they were at The Channel and if I wasn't
    	going to be away on June 7th....

    	I had to go back and listen to "Un-Led-ed" last night, and I was
    	still amazed at how much I liked the album.
    
    	Tortelvis [lead vocals] has an incredible voice, with fantastic
    	range [not as good as Plant in his earlier days, IMO, but very
    	close] and no cracking.  The lead guitarist makes Jimmy Page
    	sound like dog meat.
    
    	I've gotta get the new album soon.

    	The good news is that there's a new Dread Zeppelin album, and
    	it's called "It's Not Unusual".  More good news is that they've
    	done an entire album of covers of 70's disco songs!!  [Way!!]
    
    	The bad news is that I thing Tortelvis and Ed Zeppelin have
    	left the band and have been replaced.  They're still good, but
    	they lost a few points in my book.
    
    	And the album is pretty good, too.
