There’s nothing like quality. Rodrigo and Gabriella are some of the best. With only two acoustic guitars, and the most badass guitar playing skills this side of Hendrix, this Mexican duo puts to shame most everyone you’ve ever heard. Just trying to imagine playing some of this stuff could give you carpal tunnel and an aneurysm simultaneously.
Instead, take a listen to the playlist we’ve included below. We recommend “Diablo Rojo” (written about a roller coaster, of all things)–a meaty, driving piece of music that will make stand up and say “Holy sh*t!” And their rendition of Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” is one of a kind. Enjoy!

Load up the van, we’re going to Canada. GIGWISE.com reports that Led Zeppelin has scheduled four shows at the Toronto Skydome for this summer. After reforming for a single show in London last December, speculation of a reunion tour has been abundant, but nothing solid has emerged, until now. Read More »
Today is a good day to be a member of Lez Zeppelin, an all-female Led Zeppelin cover band.
The media was in a frenzy this morning upon seeing the “Zeppelin” name amongst others in the Bonnaroo 2008 lineup. Problem is, the Zeppelin they hoped for is not playing, unless Robert Plant doing some sort of adult alternative dad-rock thing with Alison Krauss and T-Bone Burnett is considered Led Zep. But no, truth seekers - Lez Zeppelin it is. With a Z.
The truth is, Lez Zep is just your average bar band doing C+ covers of songs you’ve heard your entire life…but with girls! I guess that’s kinda cool, but nothing to get all riled up about.
Since the headline explains it all, let’s just get right to it, shall we?
For extra convenience I’ve broken down the acts into different categories, shown after the jump. While some acts may not be in the category of your liking, most are…so suck it. Read More »
In Led Zeppelin’s heyday, the late John Bonham’s caveman stomp supplied the blueprint for every Bamm-Bamm inspired drummer; John Paul Jones anchored the band with seismic bass and keyboard accompaniment; Page’s riffs proved the theory of plate tectonics and Plant’s coyote howl could tear the pasties off a stripper. Yeah…Led Zep was (and is) pretty good.
If you’re gonna go big, you might as well go Zeppelin:
Old fogies and teenage victims of classic rock epiphanies have reason to celebrate, as Led Zeppelin’s catalog will be on iTunes November 13 in the form of one, downloadable catalog. Priced at $99, Led Zep’s package includes every album the band released, 165 songs in total.
Led Zeppelin is, by all accounts, an essential band. You already know that and therefore have owned their entire discography - or at least their Greatest Hits album - since childhood. So why buy what you already own? Haven’t even the most casual listeners of rock memorized every lyric, every riff?
If you don’t own any album by Led Zeppelin by all means go purchase Led Zeppelin I and IV immediately, then round out your collection with II and III. Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti are somewhat patchy by comparison but still worth picking up.
There’s far too much music to be heard for fans of classic rock - especially fans of Led Zeppelin. While music tastes are completely objective, I’ve offered up my four recommendations if you’re a fan of heavy rock with a blues influence…all available for download on iTunes. Read More »
