00:00This next song is a song of hope.

00:07When Dred Zeppelin came out, everybody was like, what is this?

00:11It was nothing that outrageous.

00:15These guys play reggae cover versions of Led Zeppelin songs

00:19with lead vocals provided by an Elvis Presley imitator.

00:22Is this for real, or is this a joke?

00:26To my knowledge, before Dred Zeppelin, there weren't any hybrid bands that did this.

00:31You know, it was kind of transgressive in a way.

00:34Like, they were all actors.

00:36Tell President Bush, no.

00:38If you were a diehard Elvis' King fan, you might not like it,

00:41but if you got the joke, it was really well delivered.

00:44God, Elvis!

00:45Hey, is that Robert Plant?

00:46Yeah, is that you?

00:47That's me.

00:48But then it goes into reggae. Music's fantastic.

00:51Well, since my baby left me

00:54In sort of the 80s, 90s timeframe,

00:57we had reached this level of artifice in music and in pop culture in general.

01:02Dred Zeppelin, in a way, was the antithesis of all that.

01:06It was anti-rock and roll, anti-rock star,

01:10and yet we could still be rock stars in a funny way.

01:13If our attention is given to celebrities, you have to ask the reason why.

01:18Why is that?

01:20Because maybe they're not real? Are they not real?

01:26It's quite possible that not everybody was in on the joke.

01:29There's hundreds of people out there flipping us off and screaming.

01:33What would be worse?

01:34If someone told you that you were lousy musicians or lousy comedians?

01:38As long as they're saying anything about us.

01:42If people realize that you're just a wonderful big put-on,

01:46that you're very funny, and the music is good...

01:49Do we look silly or something?

01:50No, no.

01:52They're Dred Zeppelin,

01:53the band that's taken the music industry by the jugular and shaken it.

01:58And if Elvis out there is watching at this moment,

02:00as we have reason to believe he might be,

02:02what would you want to say to him right now?

02:04Well, Elvis, I can say that hopefully we're fulfilling your wishes

02:08I'd just like to say that hopefully we're fulfilling your wishes

02:11and doing exactly what you wanted us to do.

02:13Legs up on music, reggae style.

02:16I'd just like to say that I played innocent of all charges.
