Sure: Zed Zeppelin.

This one? They’re ‘the best tribute to Led Zeppelin’.

The songs remain the same. Good strap line. I'll give them that (though I dare say that was 'inherited')

I thought of that one when I was photoshopping the graphics. It's a bit cheesy, but the singer actually really does do one of the better Plant impersonations.

Jeez that's some overblown tripe. Do you sound like Led Zep? Do you make some attempt to look like them with outfit and stagecraft? We don't need your cheeky and amusing, faux authentic theatrical backstory. Alan's probably the type of guy to Google himself daily so I won't write out his full name because he's already flooded the internet with it, even when doing the bio of his bandmates.

/me frantically clicking on "See less" in the hope that the effect stacks with repeated invocation.

Alan has clearly setup Google notifications on his name.

That's actually a different band altogether, but I think the "manager" of this one wrote something similar....

I don't think it matters - once you have written down 'prepare to be unprepared' on any sort of medium that someone else can read you have already labeled yourself

I think that there are about seven 'best tribute to Led Zeppelin’ acts knocking about (I know, I'm in one of them)...!

Like everyone with a mobile these days it'll get blamed on "bloomin preferential txt". 

We all do it.

As far a getting fired goes, I was fired as guitarist from the first “proper” band I was in, back in the 90s. The other guitarist / songwriter said what I was playing was boring and derivative. I had a think about it, decided maybe he was right and I should shake things up a bit and went and traded my geetar and amp for a Hohner “The Jack” headless bass and a Peavey TNT.

 

I bumped into the guy who’d sacked me in town a month or two later, asked how it was going. Turns out they sacked the bass player as well and were struggling to find a new one. I rejoined on bass and it worked a treat, he liked my (pretty simple but hopefully effective) bass lines, we all liked his songs. Had a fun couple of years gigging round Leeds.

 

I guess the short version is the only time I got fired the guy was doing me a big favour and I never looked back.

Or the English language for that matter. Some brilliant non-sequiturs, too.

Didn't he do the original version of Hey Joe, about a bloke who kills his missus because he thinks she been unfaithful?

Are they the band that had David Coverversion and Ian Gillian?

No it was the band with Ian Plaice and John Lourdes

 

[Rich]

Ah yes, some of their songs were 'My Woman From Toronto', 'Smoke On The Watercloset' and 'Child In TIM'.

Don't forget the classics 'firebowl' and 'shush'

Ironically enough, did Plaice not choke on some water?

I preferred the re-incinerated version playing Burn with Glenn Pughes.
