Led Zeppelin er tilbake!

Greta Van Fleet har vel allerede nådd ganske langt, men det spørs om verden har behov for et nytt Led Zeppelin?

My only issue with the skinny rock kids is this: If you’re gonna sound like the first couple Zeppelin albums you need to be playing a tele

På II har jeg alltid trodd Page brukte en Les Paul, og når jeg googler så blir det tilsynelatende bekreftet.
Come on, liksom. Heartbreaker og Whole Lotta Love spilt med en Telecaster? Not very bloody likely....
^Dette står det mye om på nettet, og Isbell har selvsagt rett.
Page tok over en Gibson les Paul fra Joe Walsh i april -69. LZ I er spilt inn med Telecaster.
Det er sannsynlig, men ikke 100% bekreftet at f.eks Whole Lotta Love er gjort med Page`s "Black Beauty",-altså en Les Paul.
LZ II kom ut i oktober. Også Tele ble også brukt på dette albumet, og ikke erstattet av Les Paul.
Solo på Stairway to Heaven (1970) er spilt på Telecaster.
Page brukte ulike gitarer i studio, bl.a. også Danelectro.
Fasit er altså ikke enten Gibson eller Fender.
Nå legger vi vekk dette, for det har ikke noe med Greta Van Fleet å gjøre.
Det er dessuten ikke noe nytt at band ligner LZ. Noe annet hadde vært merkelig, ettersom det er få band som har hatt like stor innflytelse på vestlig populærmusikk.
Vi har tidligere hatt samme greia m Rush, Wolfmother, Rival Sons osv.
Greta Van Fleet er et ungt talentfullt band som bruker mange like elementer som man kjenner igjen fra Zeppelin og andre band i genren.
GvF er altså ikke noe nytt Zeppelin.
Når det er sagt, er vel ikke nettopp Led Zeppelin det verste man kan ligne på

^Det er iallfall teit å si at man må ha en Telecaster for å låte som Zeppelin så mange forskjellige gitarer som Page brukte. ;D Personlig har jeg alltid tenkt "Les Paul" når jeg har hørt Whole Lotta Love og Heartbreaker, men hvis det dukker opp hard evidence som tilsier noe annet vil jeg såklart revurdere.
Apropos band som minner om Zeppelin, eller har blitt anklaget for det:

Litt morsomt dette. LZ ble jo ikke ansett som spesielt originale i sin tid de heller.
Her er anmeldelsen av førstealbumet deres i Rolling Stone Magazine fra Mars -69.
The popular formula in England in this, the aftermath era of such successful British bluesmen as Cream and John Mayall, seems to be: add, to an excellent guitarist who, since leaving the Yardbirds and/or Mayall, has become a minor musical deity, a competent rhythm section and pretty soul-belter who can do a good spade imitation. The latest of the British blues groups so conceived offers little that its twin, the Jeff Beck Group, didn’t say as well or better three months ago, and the excesses of the Beck group’s Truth album (most notably its self-indulgence and restrictedness), are fully in evidence on Led Zeppelin’s debut album.
Jimmy Page, around whom the Zeppelin revolves, is, admittedly, an extraordinarily proficient blues guitarist and explorer of his instrument’s electronic capabilities. Unfortunately, he is also a very limited producer and a writer of weak, unimaginative songs, and the Zeppelin album suffers from his having both produced it and written most of it (alone or in combination with his accomplices in the group).
The album opens with lots of guitarrhythm section exchanges (in the fashion of Beck’s “Shapes of Things” on “Good Times Bad Times,” which might have been ideal for a Yardbirds’ B-side. Here, as almost everywhere else on the album, it is Page’s guitar that provides most of the excitement. “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” alternates between prissy Robert Plant’s howled vocals fronting an acoustic guitar and driving choruses of the band running down a four-chord progression while John Bonham smashes his cymbals on every beat. The song is very dull in places (especially on the vocal passages), very redundant, and certainly not worth the six-and-a-half minutes the Zeppelin gives it.
Two much-overdone Willie Dixon blues standards fail to be revivified by being turned into showcases for Page and Plant. “You Shook Me” is the more interesting of the two — at the end of each line Plant’s echo-chambered voice drops into a small explosion of fuzz-tone guitar, with which it matches shrieks at the end.
The album’s most representative cut is “How Many More Times.” Here a jazzy introduction gives way to a driving (albeit monotonous) guitar-dominated background for Plant’s strained and unconvincing shouting (he may be as foppish as Rod Stewart, but he’s nowhere near so exciting, especially in the higher registers). A fine Page solo then leads the band into what sounds like a backwards version of the Page-composed “Beck’s Bolero,” hence to a little snatch of Albert King’s “The Hunter,” and finally to an avalanche of drums and shouting.
In their willingness to waste their considerable talent on unworthy material the Zeppelin has produced an album which is sadly reminiscent of Truth. Like the Beck group they are also perfectly willing to make themselves a two- (or, more accurately, one-a-half) man show. It would seem that, if they’re to help fill the void created by the demise of Cream, they will have to find a producer (and editor) and some material worthy of their collective attention.

Orker ikkje lese alt, men de VAR jo ikkje særlig originale på debuten heller da - er vel rein coverplate
Men for the record, eg liker Zeppelin veldig godt. Greta Van Fleet. Not so much. Egentlig ingenting, og han vokalisten er KUN travel.

Synes det var bra musikk, men umulig å ikke tenke på Led når man hører dem. Ble for likt dessverre.
Det er ganske godt gjort å høre Good Times Bad Times uten å tenke over hvor fort den stortrommepedalen egentlig går. Det var nå det første jeg tenkte på. Og jeg spiller gitar,så det skal egentlig litt til for å få meg vekk fra gitarfokus når jeg hører ting
Men tilbake til GVF,og topic
Jeg kjøpte Ep`n når den kom. Liker den bra. Highway Tune er helt fantastisk. En kamerat var innom her etter å ha hentet den nye platen på Dipper i går,så vi hørte på den,og førsteinntrykket var greit,men litt for mange låter jeg glemte rett etter å ha hørt den. Absolutt ingen Highway Tune der.
Og stemmen på vokalisten syntes jeg til tider minne minst like mye om Geddy Lee,som Robert Plant.
