And a Bon Jovial Dread Zeppelin are real as stated earlier and i have their first album, and it's a killer. If you haven't seen or heard them, the singer , Tortelvis , dresses and sings like... well , you know. They cover mostly LZ tracks but done reggae style. Weird and brillliant This cracks me up.. I need to dig my copy of that out - It's in a crate in the cellar somewhere with the rest of my more dubious musical decisions. I do love the mash-up opener though - 'Heartbreaker Hotel'.

thebrig Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 In the West Midlands there are a couple of Led Zep tribute bands, one is called Fred Zeppelin, and the other band who is fronted by a female vocalist is called Miss-Led. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another fave was a cover band I saw advertised called By Jovi. And I always thought that "Magic - A Kind of Queen" was rather elegant!

We saw one a few years back called Oasish, they had the whole Schtick down perfect, muddy wall of sound, no charisma between them, gormless looking front man..they were spot on! 😁 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Nice to see the sex whizzed doll getting a mention. Gallus Cooper are another great tribute act (gallus means great in Scots). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Silvie and I saw Zepparella live in Brooklyn a couple of years ago. The club was basically a slightly bigger version of The Marquee set in the centre center of Hipster Paradise. They were really very good indeed. They absolutely nailed the songs, and the musicianship was just top-knotch throughout. We'd see them again in a flash if the opportunity arose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My mate is trying to get me up to Leeds to see Motorheadache in a few months. I was in an acoustic duo called "Not the Hoople" back in 2006. We did not do any Mott the Hoople (clue was in the name). Rip off the Machine were unbelievably good back in Scarborough many, many years back.

Strangely enough, the artwork that iTunes downloaded when I ripped the CD 'The Best of Led Zeppelin Vol. 1' was the cover of Dread Zeppelin's 'Un-Led-Ed' album. Someone who works with the online database surely has a sense of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I love that 1st Dread Zeppelin album, the novelty never wears off in my opinion. I heard a rumour that Cher is going to tour with a Cher tribute act. The tour is called 'Cher and Cher alike'. I'll get my coat 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
