@TYSONHAWKE Dread Zeppelin was one of those bands that you had heard about but had no idea of where to see them. These guys were beyond genius. Thumbs up from me.

[@awwwyeaboyeeee]

Robert Plant has said in interviews that he absolutely loves this band.

This band is a great club band. I saw them twice in SC back in 1990 and they rocked the house down. DZ was great in person and no video does them justice. One thing is for sure, they knew all of the licks and played them extremely well. You would be laughing and rockin' at the same time. I've never seen another band like them since.

The best Led Zeppelin cover EVER! A true classic. So much going on here you have to watch each member closely with each replay. Great beat, humour, mood and atmosphere and subculture. Awesome. Long live The Dread!

[@howardhughes7596]

They played a club on the south side of the University of Arizona campus on a regular basis starting in the late 80's. Saw them go from having a small crowds to very large crowds as the CDs took off. It was a always GREAT show - extremely talented musicians, great music and fun! Everybody had a good time at a Dread Zeppelin concert.

[@str8soundsmusic]

Blending Elvis with Led Zeppelin, what's not to love? Great comedy and cool imaginative versions of good songs. LOVE this band. We need this kind of humor now and then in this tragic world.

[@dungeon-wn4gw]

Yeah a cover band of a cover band lol

[@larryn2682]

There is also their Reggae Rastafarian element.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

If you listen to Plant, he sounds like Elvis in many Zep songs. No surprise since Elvis was a great influence on Plant

[@bpabustan]

Robert Plant once asked Col Tom Parker if he would consider using LZ as Elvis' backing group, but the Colonel dismissed the idea immediately. What a shame, as LZ were massive Elvis fans.

[@robjones2408]

321reh Peter Grant once approached Col Tom Parker, with the idea of LZ as supporting musicians for Elvis. Parker never responded.

I saw these guys at the Empire Ballroom in Cleveland in 1990. By far the best "show" I've ever seen. These guys were one of the most inventive novelty acts around, knew it, played right into it instead of acting serious, the musicianship was incredible, and just the fun they had doing what they did made it a great show. I also remember reading somewhere that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page loved these guys, said most of Led's music was based on reggae anyway. I've been to a million concerts and I'll never forget this one. Thanks Dread Zeppelin!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Oh my gosh. When he says "Hammer of the gods" the understatement had me pissing my pants. I'm suing these bastards for damaged gut muscles.

Anyone remember when these guys got booed of the stage and were pelted with fruit at reggae on the rocks at the red rocks amphitheater in Colorado?? Just wondering my parents were there I sadly was not.

[@barillamindset3109]

That's fucked up.

[@CJTheSanger]

I've always wondered, do these folks just walk around with fruit in their pants expecting something to take a turn? Was there a guy sitting next to me at the Norah Jones concert last year with a sack full of apples just waiting for her to screw up the lyrics to "Don't Know Why" so he could pelt her in the head? Or maybe they were walking home from the grocery store, saw a marquee and stopped in to inquire about last minute tickets? I've also wondered what they do with the fruit if things go well. Are there trashcans full of bananas at the end of Red Hot Chili concerts that didn't go poorly? Could we somehow feed hungry people by putting out bins at concerts? And then there are those that throw rotten cabbages. Seriously, what's the proper receptacle for carrying a rotten cabbage into a concert hall? Where did they get a rotten cabbage? Are they trolling the dumpsters at Kroger? And can you imagine how conflicted you would feel if you showed up to a concert with rotten cabbages and Hannah Montana hit every note perfectly? I can just see someone doing the Charlie Brown walk out of the Staples Center with a rotten cabbage in each hand.

[@indiglo1971]
