Stairway to Heaven Metal Cover

[Cryo114]

Just something I thought you guys might get a kick out of.

The sound isn't anything to write home about compared to a lot of the stuff on here, but it serves well enough I think.

Lemme know what you think!

The song's pretty good. It's kinda funny, though, that your doing a metal version of a band that was considered metal back in the day (athough, admittedly, they did alot of blues and acoustic stuff), Do you consider songs like Achiilie's Last Stand and Immigrant Song metal or rock? I suppose, 20 years from now, some will do a metal cover of a Cannable Corpse song (lol)

Led Zep are rock and always were. At the beginning some journalists considered them as heavy metal but they didn't have the "darkness" and kind of sludgeness in their sound that Black Sabbath had, so they weren't really metal. Cool cover btw.

Nice!

It takes some real balls to do a cover of that song, and I think your version came out pretty awesome!

P E's Right, for the most part. Led zep did it all - blues, Rock, folk, but i think songs like achillies last stand, kasmer, and immigrant have metal elements

I think it would be a natuaral if Amon Amarth covered Immigrant song with the Viking references

BTW listen to John Bonham on Good times, Bad Times he's using one pedal for a double kick effect. Not bad for a drummer in 1969
