Why were KC never sued? Yes, Wolf did the best Plant impression he could for sure and many riffs were obviously heavily derivated but I guess not to the point of copyright infringement, so I'm not sure if "stealing" is the appropriate term. I think Greta van Fleet are much closer to the LZ sound because they have that whole 70's vibe going while KC still sounded like a glossy 80's hardrock band. Also, I never hear any actual LZ songs when I listen to KC, especially when it comes to vocal melodies.
I don't know if you guys remember the discussions about Voodoo Circle. These guys have bits and pieces of songs where I heard actual Whitesnake songs. That bothers me a lot more and I wonder if Coverdale has heard them.
