uhhhhhhh....... these guys are worse than the strokes. I mean no originality at all. it was like a mixture of rush and deep purple. yippee another derivative rock n roll band.
i first heard of wolfmother at the leeds music festival and i thought they were amazing. its nice to hear elements on the 70's metal/rock in modern music. ok. not the most original band in the world, but neither is alot of the stuff that is made these days. i love their led zeppish sound and im going to buy their album
this is what you could expect after the succes of bands like the White Stripes,Strokes and The Darkness. the singer sounds like Jack White,looks like Jimi Hendrix (and believes he is jimi) and steals his music from Led Zeppelin,Black Sabath,Deep Purple,Doors and a dozen more clasic bands. the album got old pretty fast but their shows are great,really enjoyed the long Iron Butterfly-ish jams between the songs:H
I have seen Wolfmother 2x this summer. Their show at the Melkweg in Amsterdam in June was really great. The night before last, I saw them open for Pearl Jam in the Netherlands. I enjoyed Wolfmother again but not as much as in the smaller venue. Pearl Jam then put on an excellent show.
i agree they are not original and are a "ripoff" of zeppelin and other bands...but so many people say zeppelin ripped off too. as long as it is good music. but i cannot listen to this band everyday because they may sound zeppelin-ish but they sure as heck don't have a lasting effect like zep does. they just get old for some reason after a little while. but they're a decent band. the real thing to look for is to see what they're second album sounds like and if it has more originality and whatnot.
uh yes. fraid so. those aussies love to rehash popular styles thats been around for awhile........ they live in the stone ages there, I think.......
Excuse me while I ask... but where is this Zeppelin sound present in Wolfmother's music? Actually, i'll answer my own question. It's not there.
They sound more like a worse version of Jet, who are abit of a bad AC/DC rip-off band. So nothing like zeppellin.
