How Led Zepagain Has Brought Classic Rock Back

By Rebecca Smith


Some of the greatest rock and roll bands have spawned their own imitators. This is partly about the best kind of compliment to the original musicians who created iconic music through some decades. One of the best rock bands in the history of this twentieth century music set the standards for so many others to follow and this has made rock really shine.

A group of young men have loved this band and their music that they formed what is possibly the greatest tribute group for the original musicians. They called themselves Led Zepagain and often remind audiences that these are imitating originals. They could play the songs per note, and do all moves that original members made before.

They studied the group composed of the classic four man line up for rockers. The original bassist was John Paul Jones, the guitarist was Jimmy Page, and the drummer was the late John Bonham while the singer was Robert Plant. Zepagain covers these four musicians and could even pass for them if they wanted.

The group members are all Californians, a state where Zeppelin is still highly regarded for generations of rockers. And today, so many crave the original sound live that Zepagain has many followers who share their dreams of listening and watching a Zep live set. All are one in being appreciative of what are the greatest songs in rock history.

The imitators have accomplished much with the sixties and seventies sound. They have been mentioned in television shows and they have even been paid their own compliments from the original troupe itself. And this means that their efforts have really brought back the music for a new generation of listeners or concert goers.

What really distinguishes the imitators is that they could make exactly the same thing as originals did. The wall of sonic amplification, elegiac virtuoso solos, and the banshee wail of Robert Plant are all there. All being set against the backdrop that is a time capsule to those classic moments in rock mae by Zeppelin.

There are so many musicians who are still unable or unwilling to imitate note for note, but these folks are sure what they want. And this has translated to a new heyday for Zep, even while other musicians try making their own unique Zeppelin style sounds. Many have fallen off the wayside and only a handful ever had the same iconic image that Zeppelin had.

Zepagain does not pretend that they will be anything other than excellent imitators, and it is the key to success. For the folks who are in it, this is a journey that continues because of love. They go their unique way, and the success they make is testament to great musical ability and how the sounds made before are still worth listening to.

Watching them live is another one of those really great things to do. Concert goers who have no idea what a Zep set looked and sounded like are turned on by their live sets. And it is an experience that will always be memorable for anyone.
