Jason Bonham's LZ Experience is fantastic, if Zep turns you on.
Seems a bit odd that he has based his entire career either yearning for another Zep reunion or drumming for a Zeppelin tribute band.
Similar to Dweezil Zappa doing the Zappa plays Zappa stuff.

Foreigner.....? In 1982 maybe but looking back on it - it's just not very mature music is it?
do you feel chuck berry was ripping out deep profound lyrics?

I've never understood this theory. If my dad is a carpenter, or a farmer, or a store owner, I would think I'm the #1 most logical choice on the planet to continue the family business. Especially in his case. Besides his work with Heart, BCCommunion and Foreigner, he was taught by the drummer of Led Zeppelin!
He has the genetics and has been steeped in the Zep world since the day he was born. I've read interviews where he has explained the depth of his studying Zep and his relentless listening to bootlegs to bring validity and honor to his Dad's work. He and his band are exceptionally talented and recreate the Bonzo sound and vibe with care, attention to detail and huge enthusiasm.
I've seen a lot of LZ tribute bands and all star Bonzo events here in LA and they have all been a great amount of fun, but none got the overall "experience" better than Jason Bonham's show.
I'm not as deep on the Zappa trip as I am on Zep, but I did feel Dweezil killed it when I saw him a few years back.

If you're in to tribute bands, that's great!

Haha - Mick should have named it Lets Not Go There!
And then there's Julian Lennon - almost surprised he hasn't gone that route as he looks and sounds like his dad - he could do a John Lennon/Beatles tribute in Vegas for the rest of his life, and I'm sure many would enjoy it. Instead he's opted to stick with his very mediocre career of unmemorable recordings.
