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 have studied their stuff for the classic line up of for musicians of the original. They follow the Page, Plant, Jones and the late Bonham as they guitarist, singer, bassist and the drummer, now retired but appreciative of their efforts. Zepagain do their music and may even pass as the original members when they want.

The tribute group comes from California, where Zep has been a mainstay for many musicians and rockers. It still is, and Zepagain has gained its own following, although this knows that their dreams of seeing the original group again are the inspiration for this. All are united in their appreciation of the greatest rock songs in 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 will distinguish these from a lot of other imitators is that they make the same sounds as the originals. There is the wall of amplified sound, the elegant and elegiac solos, and the same Plant wail. All these are set with a backdrop able to take people to the wondrous moments in time for the classic rock sound.

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 makes no bones that they are excellent imitations, and this has been key to their success. For the men which compose it, it is a continuing journey for the love of rock. They go on their way, and their success is testament to their musicianship as well as the sounds that were made several decades ago.

Having to watch these live is an excellent experience for anyone. The modern concert goers today do not really know this, but when they do attend, they become instant fans. The experience will be something that is unforgettable for these new fans.
