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.

For young men so loved that band and the music it made that they were inspired to make what probably is one of those great tribute bands today. They style themselves Led Zepagain, and this reminds audiences who they will be imitating. They could do all Led Zep songs like the original, sounding and moving like the original group did.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
