This is the first time I have ever heard this band, but does anyone else agree that this song is a pretty blatant rip-off of Zeps's "Whole lotta love"? It's so similar that when it began I thought it was a cover! It's not identical, and in fairness, the bridge is totally theirs, original. But the opening, the riffs, the phrasing, the arrangement even is so close to WLL that I have to ask did they just rearrange the song and rename it?
Sorry to any fans, and I admit I know nothing about the band, but I was just so surprised by how close it was to Zeps' classic...
Comments? Rebuttals? Agreement? Explanation?
