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.

One group of fellows so loved the said band and its music that they decided to form what is probably the best tribute to their favorite musicians. They are called Led Zepagain and make sure that people know that they are true imitators. They play the instruments note for note, make all the moves that Led Zep members used to make and more.

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 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.

These imitation musicians have accomplished many things with the sounds of earlier generations. They have gotten mention in television, and the originals themselves paid tribute to the troupe in a reunion show. It means the efforts of this new group has brought back what was the most defining music for several rocker generations.

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.

So many other musicians are unwilling or unable to make the copies precise, but the folks who make this know what they need to do. This has become translated to a brand new day for Zep fans, even as other musicians are making their unique but imitative Zeppelin sounds. A lot have fallen by the wayside, while a handful made the same success as Zeppelin did.

Zepagain will not pretend to be anything other than imitators, and this is the excellent key for their success. For those doing this, the journey continues for love of music and rock. They are still going on, and success is something they take in stride, but it is also testament to how they are talented, and how older music is still great.

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.
