Actually on close reading Hagar says that they're as good as Zep, not really that they sound anything like them. It's difficult for me to imagine the Red Rocker writing those trippy Lord-of-the-Rings-inspired lyrics found on some Zep songs. Or for that matter Satch playing as loose as Jimmy Page.
That said, saying you'll be as big/good as Led Zeppelin is the kind of thing that can come back to bite you in the ass. Great for publicity in the short run (unless you're somebody who says something outrageous in every few sentences, like say John Lydon/Rotten, such that everyone simply dimisses everything you say as hucksterism), but could be the kind of thing a lot of people laugh about later.
