Maybe the most blatant of all: Greta Van Fleet



Ironic that the band famous for ripping off others has had their sound ripped off so much through the years. But sometimes it works pretty well.

Greta Van Fleet, Kingdom Come, Wolfmother, Collision, or other--anybody got a Zep clone they like?

"Like" might be a little strong, but: The Cult

To be honest, the Led Zep imitators of yesteryear were a lot better than the new ones. If nothing else, they were a lot more amusing and a lot more fun. Tell me these ones aren't better than the new Led Zeppelin imitators.

I tried saying Greta Van Fleet were rip offs a couple months ago here and got crucified.

How dare they be a less interesting and (obviously) innovative Led Zeppelin and have $200+ concert tickets. They aren't even that good.

Wolfmother might sound a bit like Zeppelin especially in the vocal department, but they are not a clone. Greta Van Fleet is literally a clone from the writing, vocals, production, lyrics, the movements the singer makes on stage. It's a shame that the biggest young band in America right now doesn't sound like anything new. People want the same recycled garbage.

Well, it has been like 40 years since Zeppelin made an album. God knows how many bands sound like Sabbath. I always thought it was weird that there weren't MORE Zeppelin clones considering how much Sabbath still dominates so much of metal.

Yes, I saw Wolfmother at a festival a couple years ago and they were tight. Great first album. There's not a ton about them that screams Zeppelin to me though.
