So, some people said that the WS are a ripoff of other bands, and other people said they should get a new drummer; I think the drumming sets them apart from other bands. Plus, they tend to vary in genre even from song to song so I think its pretty far from the truth to label them a ripoff. A lot of what they do is mostly original, especially compared to some other more modern bands.

So called Led Zeppelin fan but if you knew John Bonham's style you'd see that Meg has duplicated is tripplet timing.Go listen to No Quarter then come back and to her drumming again. If you ask me this song is an emulation of Zeppelin.

Didn't have the same flow as some of their other stuff, but I have a feeling the riff is gonna grow on me over the summer...

You idiot that sounds nothing like Five to One by the doors!!!
noy only is there no bass in this but the doors are using just power chords and jack does 6 power progressions and goes to 7_9 then 7_5 and back again...

Excellent song, cool video and Meg is smokin'. Her drums aren't great but I like how they sound. And it's Neil Peart not Pert.
