What is and what should never be ...

Someone must stop this madness! Why didn't they have responsible parents who bought them Deep Purple albums!

Little Zeppelinmonsters they are, they do play their stuff with heart.

The singer sounds way too much like Robert Plant for me. Of course I'm sure many people would think that's a good thing. But as I've said before, I'm in the minority in preferring the Yardbirds over Led Zeppelin anyway. I liked Led Zeppelin all right, but loved the Yardbirds.

Based on first few seconds of listenning - this feels like Wolf Mother all over again (maybe more Zep less Sabbath). M'eh.

Never heard of them until a few weeks ago.

So, are they the new Kingdom Come tribute band?

If they were middle-aged dudes, nobody would be paying attention.

Bobby Plant is reasonably gracious about it ...

I never thought Steven Tyler sounded anything like Plant - it's an image young Areosmith got tagged on them "look like Stones, sound like Zep", but they never seemed to me like that, I thought they looked like a less crass version of The New York Dolls - with the added benefit of knowing how to play their instruments.

And their musical style was pretty much self-standing though I know that they were all Yardbirds buffs.

True, but that criticism would have applied to The Beatles as well!

Maybe because the singer is off key (among other things.) I'm taking it that wasn't one of their better performances. Rehearsing might have been a good way to fix that, though.

I would probably like them if the vocals weren't so terribly annoying and the lyrics are even worse.

I've heard Zep boots that sound worse. And let's not even start about Led Zep's lyrics (when Plant found the time to write them and did not just oooh and aaah his way through the set). Don't knock them so hard, considering how young they are, they do an admirable job for the devoted.

(I just wrote something positive about a band aping Lep Zep - must see --> shrink quickly ...)

I'm not even comparing their vocals and lyrics to Zeppelin, I'm just saying that the vocals are terribly annoying and the lyrics are even worse.

Like with Zep, the lyrical content of what the singer warbles is mostly incomprehensible (I can't hear what he's singing about)to me. Plant was never good to understand either (due to all his vocal gyrations) and when you did you wished you hadn't.
