Big buzz around them. Maybe they haven't found their originality as a band yet, but hey, it's Rock and Roll!

You know they are okay, but very derivative. A mere poof of air compared to the past. Imagine Plant singing the same song or even Aerosmith playing the music. It seems pretty packaged to me. Granted, it's at least a nod to rock but rock was about doing your own thing and I saw nothing remotely "theirs" in what they did. The high pitched singer is the only real thing that was noticeable but falls flat compared to dozens of mid level bands of the past let alone the masters. Let's hope the media (i.e. TV in this case) gatekeepers play more of it though in truth it isn't like they pick music based on the likes or dislikes of the people on those shows, it is whatever label steps up and pays they the most promotional payola under the table that gets them on TV. Perhaps if this band takes off they will support more in the same vein.

Oh there is no question they are derivative, Led Zep much? And they also have denied sounding like led Zeppelin which is funny. He even stands like plants does.
I'm just glad to hear it. The radio does not even allow an electric guitar...you would think anyway.
But you can't bring back rock n roll without being derivative. There are other bands who have been throw backs, and they all sound like old bands..
To be truly unique you need to invent another genre. In my estimation there have been Maybe ten truly unique artists in my life time, and I'm not necessarily a fan of them all
