- This is our cover of Heartbreaker & Living Loving Maid from Led Zeppelin II.
On these 2 songs, we're joined by special guest Matt Beck!
Ann Marie Nacchio - Lead Vocals
Matt Beck - Guitar, Vocals
Andy Graziano - Guitar, Vocals
Richie Castellano - Bass, Vocals
Andy Ascolese - Drums
Geek Speak:
The drum set is a Roland TD-11 triggering FXPansion BFD 3 using one of their Ludwig kits. The hi-hat is also triggering the shaker.
Bass was recorded direct into a Vintech Preamp then using CLA Bass to get the overdrive.
The guitars are both recorded direct and using Line 6 Helix for amp sims.
The vocals are all recorded with Audio Technica microphones.
We use Audio Technica headphones for monitoring. The MOTU 1248 gives us our own discrete mixes.
We shot this using Zoom Q2n cameras.

Dudes nailing every note while playing the guitar upside down.... DAMN..
It’s a lefty guitar. Why is it strung upside down? So many questions:)
that lefty guitar player nailed the Hearbreaker solo in all of it amazing sloppy groove mojo vibe and that's not easy to do at all, and with the guitar strung upside down, just amazing.
It is lefty guitar and it it's actually strung upside down, if you look closely you can see the high E string is at the top of the neck, and he bends down most of the time@@robsavage9440
@@robsavage9440he’s a lefty and it’s strung upside down….
Holy crap it is strung upside down!
Hey lefty dude-I play the exact same way. It’s how we learned normal to us. You know what I mean.
Do we know that he’s a lefty? The only other person I know of who plays an upside down strung instrument lefty is Mononeon, and he’s a righty who just learned that way.
Awesome to see Ann Marie back with the band!
Amen..
this woman can sing her ass off
Hey fellows have you heard the news, Annie's back in town. And boy is she ever here
Band Geeks are back! What a gift. Thanks guys.
Hi there Miles...I miss you man!!!
hey! i am haircut 100
As a 20yr old who is obsessed with metal and things of that nature…. I’ve come to appreciate the genius of Led Zeppelin! 🤟🏻
Join the club bro,53 and still cant get my head around pop music hahaha
Absolutely love anything Metal...from the Datsuns to Deicide and everything in between 🤟🤟🤟
ah you begin to grow strong in the force young one....
No one writes like them anymore...the craftsmanship of the writing is like from another universe compared to now
The best of the best , get the led out !
From my 40+ years i've could tell :"good boy" - but compared to the song itself WE BOTH younger than wearers of diapers - only our ages combined may reach that some kind of "critisizing allowance" age - we are a kids of a kids that grew on this music - that's how refined this music is !
The bass line on Heartbreaker is just one example of JPJ's genius, and Richie delivers the goods. As a matter of fact, they all do!
He adds the tremolo like JPJ did with his Acoustic amps. Thats awesome
One of the many examples of Band Geeks' respect for great bass - from the tone and amazing playing down to the mix. Bravo!
Jesus I never realized JPJ played the bass like that on Heartbreaker. Christ and I was in a band that covered it when I was 14. Clearly we played it wrong (or our bassist did anyway lol).
@@demonhoopa Listen to the original and only focus on the bass. Most focus on vocal and guitar. I know I did for years. Beware - you may need to re-adjust your view that Squire, Entwistle and Wetton were the only superior bass players during the late 60s/early 70s. Actually, none could touch Mingus, but that's a story for another day :)
I was like, nah, he’s embellishing the bass part…and then…ua-cam.com/video/vULgqDEDbiY/v-deo.html
Matt Beck just CRUSHED the Solo's!! Standing Ovation!!
Ann Marie Always Knocks it Out of the park. Superb Vocals!!! Great to see her . Great work Band Geeks
I am so glad Ann Marie decided to sing that from her wheelhouse and not try to cover Plant. Excellent vocal work.
Can't say enough good things about this band. Anne Marie has an amazing voice and kills it in this video. She's my Juke Box Hero!!! 🙂
Can you imagine her covering Lou Gramm?? 🤯
There are obviously incredible students of soooo many bands.
Yep. She's got a big voice. Great rendition.
Great to see ann marie back
Fantastic double shot of the almighty Zep and great to see and hear Ms. Nacchio out front again with the rest of the musical gang. Well done!!😇👍
I just noticed Matt's guitar being strung righty.. OMG. I tried that for 6 months and eventually went full lefty. Great job as always!
Karl Wallinger (World Party, RIP) was infamous for this stringing, too.
Omg I thought I wasn’t gonna see a new Band Geek video again. So good to see Anne Marie again too.
This made my week
In early 1970, I was serving on a U.S. Navy Destroyer. As soon as the Ship's Store had the Led Zep cassette, I bought, and I wore it out. All I have to say is that I loved your version of Heartbreaker, as much as I loved Zep's. Thankfully, I was born in 1952, so I was around at the perfect ages to enjoy what is called today, Classic Rock.
A year later... 1973 DesRon1 here.
@@BuffaloC305 You're a lucky guy too. Nice to hear from another "Tin Can Sailor."
Band Geeks is one of a kind...a real treasure for the American people and the world. Especially Anne Marie with that tone of voice that kicks you know what....
Outstanding. Ann Marie's vocals were killer, and so was Matt's solo.
This is awesome! But more importantly-thanks to Ann Marie I finally understand what the actual lyrics are to this song!
Yes indeed! Ann Marie, a double-neck, plus an upside-down and backwards guitar! That was quite spectacular!
Wow!!! … that … is exceptional !!! playing a left handed guitar strung upside down and killing it !!! … you guys are the pro’s pros 😎
Wow - well spotted, I never noticed that!
Messing with my mind!!
Some say the guitar was invented by a lefty and all the righty's are actually playing it upside down. Eric Gales! ehe?
Life is better when the Geeks are playing Led Zeppelin and having fun
Y'all are really fantastic. Anne Marie makes it 1000% even more.
Guy learns a righty guitar when he's (assumedly) left handed by turning it upside down. Now he has a lefty guitar, strings reversed like a righty. I am impressed and intrigued. Of course as always, you all rock amazingly.
Albert King did this and so does Eric Gales.
@@johnk1045 I did not know that. Have to look for it next time I see either one. Fascinating to watch - reminds me of playing mandolin where the strings are backwards version of strings 3 - 6 on a guitar.
I didn't noticed till you mentioned this. He sounds awesome as it is but then when you throw the upside down strings into the mix......Crazy good!!!!
good catch, i thought i was seeing things
Ya, I was like....how is he playing this riff on the G and B strings. Then they did a close up.
The Zep Geeks do it again! Anne Marie’s unique voice and range was a great fit for this two song Zep medley. The guys also delivered the goods with their incredible skill and sound. Loved the throw back!
So happy to see Ann Marie back with the band! You guys are all great, but she takes the band up a notch or two.
Great job. The guitar solo in Heartbreaker deserves a special mention. Nailed it.
The bass makes both of these tunes, and it’s played brilliantly here.
3vl ove Anna Marie's Vox!
Bassist nailed the subtle details of JPJ right down to the D octave note at 6:51
Nice "OctoberSurprise" You Guys...Thanks!!!
Hi Ann Marie 👋
Hey Matt 👍
BRBRNPH!
Man what a voice. Girl you are amazing. Well done guys.
I don't like Led Zepplin, but I love this cover! Between Heart (singing Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Center) and Anne Marie singing here, it's obvious that a woman should sing their songs. Great job, guys.
Matt is playing lefty and upside down!!! His playing is AMAZING!
Correct, you don't see that very often. Albert King as a lefty used to play a right handed Flying V with the strings upside down, but he was the only big time guitar player that I can recall playing upside down strings.
Doyle Bramhall II is another one. ua-cam.com/video/HH2nTo_c8qw/v-deo.html
Doyle Bramhall (Eric Clapton band) plays lefty and upside down also.
The absolute best cover band in the world and ever! When they play Yes songs I sometimes can't even hear the difference they are so freaking good! Especially when Jon A is singing... not putting down the female she's freaking awesome too!!!
Ann Marie sounds like Robyn. Not complaining. 🖤❤
Ye bring the house down, what can I say? Another outta the park!
Ann Marie is outstanding.
I love when lil Annie is leading the band. Only thing better is her sister singing lead!!
Ann Marie is my favorite singer ❤
Awesome! Looks like Johnny Lawrence from Corbra Kai kicking it on the drums!!
The genius of The Band Geeks. Me being a Lefty, I aways appreciate another lefty. I just realized he is a Lefty; however, the guitar is strung righty. That blows my mind. Great job guys and the lady. love what you're doing.
Love Ritchie’s bass playing.
Ann Marie just makes me crush on her, more and more, with every song she sings! lol :D She is such a babe and The Band Geeks are talented beyond words! :) Once again, keep up the great work. Peace...
Killer! Love the bass!
Fucking awesome version with 2 guitars and a killer singer!!
Guys sounded fantastic and that guitar solo totally shreaded.
Matt Beck’s solo on heartbreaker 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Heartbreaker guitar solo: smoked it!
Brings me back to my college dorm room back in he 70's when music changed the landscape every week.
Heyyy Richie and the gang!!! What a great cover on a Sunday!! It’s great to see a new video. Like the others, I will mention it is so great to Ann Marie back with her powerful vocals!! You all did an amazing job!! 😁👏👍 …
Yay, Anne Marie!
Thank the heavens for Bank Geeks! This is the best! The best mixing! The best instrumentation! The best vocals! Ann Marie is a vocal goddess! Wish you were still playing out live! Thanks for posting again! Still got my eyes and ears open for more!
Nailed it
Ammazing vocals and dont tell the guitar player he`s playing the guitar upside down cause he`s got it down . Hell yeh !
Dayammmmmmm!!!! Im speechless!!!
That ann Marie damn. Incredible singing
"The band is back together" What a pleasant thing to see and hear on this cold rainy day in Western New York. Keep 'em coming. Oh yeah, bitchin' solos Matt and Andy.
Wow guys, amazingly v great.
The look on Richie's face at 2:45 as Matt makes his axe sit up and beg....
Y'all still got it, in spades, and it's a pleasure to see.
Anne Marie is back!!!
Utter perfection and once again an amazing cover-You really nailed the Jimmy Page solos!
Ann Marie, you have the perfect rock and roll voice. You are amazing!
Anne-Marie ROCKS!
Great to see you back. Voice is still on point. Look forward to seeing Ritchie with BOC in the UK in 2 days!!
Great Job guys i am big Zep fan and that is best cover of that song i have heard in my 67 years....Great to see Ann Marie again.
Ann Marie is back in town!!!
What Ms Nacchio can't sing. What a cover.
That greasy Zeppelin groove never dies.
Absolutely fantastic. Anne Marie killed the vocals and you guys are just amazing musicians. I’m 77 and a Led Zeppelin fan since the 70’s and you certainly did this song Justice.👍👍🇨🇦
Just one word: Awesome 🤩
Well, here's another comment! Glad Anne-Marie is back! Such a voice, and the band's all back.
Just awesome. The super-accurate cover is a lost art and you all are bringing it back.
Matt is awesome. Ann's back ! Geeks are back ! Life is good again ! (sigh)... now we all just need to write some originals for them that they can arrange and conquer the world. ! (with the covers too, of course.) 🥲
Anne Marie i freakin ADORE you
Great pleasure to see you Geeks back in action!
Awesome double cover, you were all amazing. I love Andy's transition to the double neck SG!!!😆😆
no editing there - that's all talent baby ;)
Absolutely awesome 🤘🏼😸🤘🏼
Gold-Top-Dude, kills it!!! Amazing. That took some studying. 👍🏼👍🏼
An awesome Led Zep cover!
Fantastic cover as always, and even more fascinating watching another lefty playing guitar upside down!
Good!
Clap!Clap! Again, again ....and stream plz Richie 🤘👏👏👏
Outstanding as usual. Maybe you can tour with Plant & Page next 😉
Hi Jon...that's a good one 😆
Say hey to Meryl 👋
Oh Happy Day! The Band Geeks are back! Well done and spot-on as always. Love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap the Geeks are back!!!
Put a big bigg ole smile on my face. Matt Beck, wow!
Good to see and hear the Band Geeks again!
I've been listening to Zep for a long long time , but at 70 years of age this sounds absolutely amazing !!
Great surprise! Welcome back Band Geeks!🎉
You would think they have all been playing all these songs together for years. They do this so well.
What a great way to ring in 2023! Geek Band rocks!
Literally my favorite cover band of all time. You guys are awesome. Thank you.
Great stuff!
Glad to hear from you folks
Noticed Matt is playing with his strings the other way around...lol
Thanks for sharing
GREAT COVER!
so good! totally awesome....keep them coming!
Led Zepp 2 was one of the first albums I ever bought. This is a great cover!
Same here. Can't be beat.
Nice guitar tone!! And stellar vocals by Anne Marie. We are definitely sendng these guys on to the next Round!! 🤘
I cannot just watch one song! AMAZING TALENT!!!!
so fkn wicked -Jimmy would be proud.
Loved hearing these two songs back to back. It brought back happy memories of when my bar band just started out in 1969. These two songs were crowd favorites . They were big fun to play. I've got a reel to reel recording of a practice session when we were just getting Heartbreaker together. I've been meaning to dig it out for the last couple of years.
The members of "Geeks" are all amazingly talented and hard working world class musicians. Super glad I discovered Richie and the gang, a few years ago. Thanks to them all for the gifts they provide us all for free on the 'net.

Im impressed with the left-handed guitarist with his "left-handed" LP strung upside down and still plays spot on!
Holy CRAP!!! You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
