I seriously doubt kids in your hood were doing late-90s brutal hardcore in 1986, so I'm going to assume they were doing speedmetal and Metallica covers, but your wussy ears can't tell the two apart (also: RealPlayer). I don't expect you to understand the difference, but to help convey the split-hair to you, it's the same reason that you can listen to classic rock radio, yet hate The Eagles and Pink Floyd passionately. To the outside observer, it's all the same stinky shit.

Okay, I downloaded the mp3 of their version fo "Whole Lotta Love," and they're now demoted to worst group of individuals pretending to be a band ever. They don't bring anything new to Zep's version except ridiculously hokey "brutal hardcore" vocals, and an otherwise somewhat faithful yet less interesting approach to the basic riff of the song. I don't doubt there are people out there who can tell the difference between this and Gwar, but some things are just facts, and one of them is that this band covering Led Zeppelin is a worthless project. It has everything to do with the fact they have nothing to say about Zeppelin, and nothing to do with the fact they insist on saying it.
