“During a conversation with the Chicago Tribune in 1998, #RobertPlant said: “I find him a good man, but I feel that his integrity is now questionable. If #Whitesnake was a real young band who had just seen The Song Remains the Same and decided, ‘OK, this is it, let’s imitate them,’ I could understand it.”
Adding: “There was a time, years ago, that I tried to mimic Elvis Presley. That’s quite acceptable. But #DavidCoverdale’s nearly my age. He is of my genre, even if he was in a lot of substandard groups. Really, you shouldn’t do it to your own gang, you know. When I aped somebody, they were so remote, it was like they were millions of miles away.”
Whitesnake, a poor mans imitation of Led Zeppelin. 🐍
Case in point, Cashmere (LZ) vs Judgment Day (WS) <https://youtu.be/A1gnlIOPgE0?si=lCpn8i6WY253lBPg> Did Zeppelin rip their sound, lyrics from their R&B/Blues ancestors? Yes, but they did the tunes justice.
