I first heard Kingdom Come on the radio in the eighties, following a lot of publicity on how close to Led Zeppelin they sounded, and thought they were pretty good. I remember hearing Robert Plant say in a radio interview that singer Lenny Wolf 'went beyond respect' and I have read that Jimmy Page thought they ripped off too many riffs. This struck me as strange, because, when he was young, Robert Plant sounded exactly like John Baldry. Led Zeppelin were also copied by almost everyone one of note, including Black Sabbath, Budgie, Chicago, Deep Purple, Montrose, Beckett and Queen. However, I had not a heard a full Kingdom Come album until recently when I listened to the first album.
It is probably heresy, but I never cared for Led Zeppelin as much as I thought I should or as much as I wanted, although I always liked those who were influenced by them. Kingdom Come are no exception and I found the album full of strong vocals and guitar playing with plenty of good riffs. Are there any other Kingdom Come fans here? Can anyone comment on their other albums?
