How Led Zepagain Has Brought Classic Rock Back

By Rebecca Smith


Many great bands in rock have spawned so many imitators through decades. It is about paying tribute to bands which have made so much iconic music that their songs are still appreciated today. Arguably the most important rock band in musical history often set standards which many others followed through the years.

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 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.

Group members all come from California, the state is one of the best places for this music which several rock generations play. These days, a lot of folks crave the live sound of Led Zeppelin with so many followers appreciating the imitators because of this. All know how they are playing some of the best rock songs of the past century.

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.

A lot of other musicians have been unable to produce the precise copy of sounds, and Zepagain is unique in knowing what it wants. It has translated to renewed appreciation of Zeppelin, while most other musicians are both imitating and trying to make new sounds. Most will fall by the way, and only the few talented groups could make the same iconic sounds as Zeppelin made.

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.
