Dennis Campbell So true so true.. I just recommended this band to some troll who I guess took issue with me laughing at a really shitty cover version of King Crimson in the Court of the Crimson King.. the singing was horrible. This Japanese dude didn't like me laughing and saying oh my God... doesn't it figure I look at his channel he's got his own shitty cover band. Dread Zeppelin had the right idea ..add a really creative twist and you can do whatever you want
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, and just the fun they had doing what they did made it a great show. I've been to a million concerts and I'll never forget this one. Thanks Dread Zeppelin!
Mojo Nixon opened for these guys and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. Hilarious at some points and as close to being at a Zep concert as a kid can get in the 90s. THEY WERE MUCH BETTER IN CONCERT THAN THEY ARE HERE.
Notice one thing, with all the antics and crazy outfits, these guys are tight. Hell, they're tighter than many bands who take themselves way too seriously. Love Dread!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I thought these guys disbanded, but to my sheer delite, "THEY'RE BACK" these guys are better than any cover group I've ever witnessed. "Sing on brotha, Play on drumma"- Jimi Hendrix
When I was on Jeopardy in the early 1990s, the correct question I provided was , "Who is Dread Zeppelin?), (This band performs Led Zeppelin songs with a reggae influence,) Years later, I got into their show in Las Vegas for free, because I told th story to the guy at the gate......Tortelvis' wife had never believed they were a Jeopardy answer, so I was asked to confirm it.)
Brilliant! the lead singer makes us BELIEVE he IS Elvis; has the soul and moves, and does the voice purrfectly. Kudoes to this band -- a hilarious satire, yet their sound is good, a pleasing, lower key version of Zep.
The fact that Robert Plant is on record as loving this band speaks volumes about his taste. they take serious rock and make it seriously fun. Although people without senses of humor will undoubtedly hate it. And this isnt close to one of my favorite songs of theirs.
i saw dread zeppelin in regina sask in 94 it was totally great they rule i almost got into a fight with a guy who didn't like my dancing what a great night
Best imaginary tour line-up ever: Me Mom & Morgentaler; Weird Al; Dread Zeppelin. People would literally need to be carried out on stretchers and have some kind of surgery to get the permanent smiles off their faces.
@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR Ha ha... Poor direction. Bear in mind that the people that ran the show had no clue who we were until we arrived probably 30 minutes before air time. And by the time they stopped staring at us in open mouthed amazement, realized that they didn't know a bass player from the soloist. To their credit, at least they show someone holding a guitar during the solo. Usually, they'd just do more close-ups of Tortelvis (scary!). That Carl Jah sure played it pretty, didn't he?

You can't help but laugh, but they are actually all great musicians. These guys are a great example of not taking art and music too seriously.

I totally agree. I always say they're hilarious but don't let that overshadow what a fantastic band they are. Such a blast to listen to.
They’re incredible!! I’m glad they did this!

So jealous!
Man I miss the '90's! These boys were always a hoot but had the chops as legit musicans. Long live Tort!
Elvis mixed with hard rock and reggae. Gotta love it.
Any act whose lead singer has a valet is awesome.
That's an awesome show, good music and funny as hell. Incredible how much the lead singer sounds like Elvis!
Mojo Nixon opened for these guys and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. Hilarious at some points and as close to being at a Zep concert as a kid can get in the 90s. THEY WERE MUCH BETTER IN CONCERT THAN THEY ARE HERE.
Great musicians, what a spectacle!
I'm 51 now. Still love it.
These guys represent what life is all about! You can't help but smile when you watch...
By far the greatest band of the 90's, if you dont like this for its great talent and creativity, well then, you dont have a soul......
I love this band!!
Notice one thing, with all the antics and crazy outfits, these guys are tight. Hell, they're tighter than many bands who take themselves way too seriously. Love Dread!
This is proof that no matter what you do to this song, it still sounds good.
If I went to a club and these guys were there, Holy crap I'd be impressed and tell the world!
Tortelvis is the future of rock and roll.
the ending is just great... that new move blew my mind, so good
excellent musicians
better to hear than to watch :P
what are you talking about ...they are pure style :P

"Kirk to Scotty, there's been a terrible accident on the transporter deck!"
This band is amazing.

How did we ever live without the internet?
Absolute gold,and they managed to get Robert Plant to play lead for them!

As Blues Traveller said ( It's all about the hook). And what a fine hook it is.😊

Genre overload!!! Loved it!
Smiles galore. Joe we miss you a ton. Your creation of this incredible band was sheer genius. Peace & love be with you friend wherever you are. RS

Elvis would be Proud Of You!!! Thank You,,,Thank you Very Much!!!!!
This proves it, Elvis is alive. At least he was back in 94.
This is some next level genius stuff right here. :)
Seen somewhere in Amsterdam at some point in the general era of their tour and it was tons of fun as well as a phenomenal performance. Good times!
One of the more creative and musically accomplished groups of our time

Just read a comment on a wigfield video with someone saying the music of the mid 90s was great - jesus christ!

Many years ago, he came on stage at a small venue in the UK, pulled out a pair of knickers and threw them at my wife :)
