His voice is UNIQUE.

Some people say he imitated the legend Robert Plant.
Maybe in some way some amount of course.
But fundamental pitch is so different.
So I'm suspicious about that opinion.
David's low voice is rare in the HR/HM scene I think.
If there's any repalcement or copycat I'd like to hear the name and the performance.
Because I'm little bit tired too listening mostly David over and over again.
I saw it from what do they call a book inside CD?
whatever, I read that Bad Moon Rising/Lion is the WS wannabe.
Dave Cov wannabe and John Sykes wannabe.
The guitarist actually and eventually made it as the guitarist of WS.
But the voice similarity?
I don't think so.

In this video David himself and critic something talk Joey Temphest(of Europe) is a young DC.
And I'm not degrading Joey at all.
But no bloody way.
I'm constanly telling you, the pitch.
So if you find someone, give me a note.
By the way, most of you know DC and Jimmy Page are good friends.
They worked together and friendship is still on-going.
But DC with Rob Plant?
Maybe just nasty internet rumour, I heard that the senior Rob will kick youngster Dave's ass when they meet, because Dave is a copycat.
But in this interview

"Robert and I, FRIENDS as well"
So which is the fact?
