It’s no wonder why “The thief” of rock and roll Page wouldn’t want to Play with “The Master” Jeff Beck, is cause Jeff would blow him OFF the stage… DUH!!

yeah, I know I’m rather sad about that. Also that I can’t post using original “kc and my band” since I GET A FREAKIN AUTOMATED MOD WARNING TO “SLOW DOWN COWBOY” AND NOT EMAIL EVERY 15 min…IP much? Get some geeks on this glitch NOW, boys. But yeah, I could never get in to see Zep since I was only ten, but cool nevertheless. Soundtrack to my life: Beck and Jimmy. Kim

Can I drum for you Mr. Relf

im still sad this was debunked, any new news on it?

Although by now we all know it will not come to fruition…Beck’s manager sez no in Billboard. I wouldn’t say Page has been decomposing like Layne Stalie…RIP, bro. He’s been doing less selfish things like getting all that archival material together remastered for our pleasure (and their cash). It’s not a small feat to say the least..just ask Clapton who discovered tons of degraded sh*t reels of invaluable live footage. Page has always played with emotion..and then technicality…he was always breaking innovative ground guitar wise…but always with an honest passion. Life does catch up with you and you’r not going to able to keep up that level of intensity as in his dragon suit days…LOVED IT ALL PAGEY! He was a session man..then an intrepid explorer of sound. As far as Plant whining…after listening to many interviews of all the guys…I’ve come to understand they were all true musicians and whtaever ego fused into the mix…well to err is to be freakin human, right? Exactly. I think Back and Page’s mutual respect and love for eachother speaks volumes.

Although I would look forward to a Page-Beck Yardbirds reunion concert as what would be significantly important event in my life, I agree Beck will not want to do it. I think Page would consider it, as he seems a little more bent on nostalgia, and his playing had picked up considerably in the 90’s. But I think he might be a little intimidated trading licks with Jeff at this point in time. Beck’s last couple of solo albums show him pusihing his playing to a new level almost. Page’s last outing with the Black Crowes was strong, howerver - despite the rhythm guitar support he received. but one wonders hwo much playing he has been ding the past 7 years. However, we just saw Cream reunite, so I guess antything is possible. My best guess, overall Odds - 90%+ against. I just hope Page keeps his pronmise to put out an album in 2007, If he is not the best guitarist (although when he is on his game, he really is), he is at least the most exciting to listen to and follow his career.

Jeff Beck will not be with “The Yardbirds” for this reunion.

Hey, when do tickets go on sale?

It’s true! FORD really does have a better idea…exponentially at that!!

Hope they do some warm up gigs at some smaller venues in the States on the East Coast in August before they schedule the bigger venues in October.

Seems rolling stone has the time to remove posts that are critical of them. To bad they couldn’t take the time to figure out that this story is a total fabrication.

it will never happen.ego’s,money
issues with management and record companies.

well im one of those boomer kids who spent every dime on brit rock records (yeah, vinyl, you infants!) “way back when” and still think the Birds’ music rocks. but i think the only old-timers who can still pull off this trip-down-memory lane fantasy are the Stones. if i wanted to see Jimmy Page re-team up with anybody, it would be with Led Zep. THEY still rock for this boomer, BTW. we’ll see…

I hear alot of people say that the Yardies are in their sixties, who would still be alive to watch them? How about 78 million boomers wanting to spend their social security checks on something other than prescription meds from Canada. There is defintely an audience to push this rumor into serious consideration for the Page and Beck Camps.

This whole rumor is probably just somebody’s wet dream (mine too!), but Beck going back to his roots is not entirely unthinkable, despite what some have written so far. In 1993 he released Crazy Legs, a trip back to his rockabilly roots, where he paid tribute to guitarist Cliff Gallup of Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps. Personally, I’d love to see Jeff lay off the whammy bar a bit. His current style can get old during a long concert. Awww, to hear Beck and Page cranking up their fuzztones during a show would be heaven.

They should get John Idan for lead vocals and Billy Boy Miskimmin on harmonica.

I’LL BELIEVE IT,WHEN I SEE IT!!!

They sould get Terry Reid to take Keith Relf’s place

If they get back together they sould get Terry Reid to take Keith Relf’s place.

Yeah, beck’s management says he’s not gonna do it. checkout billboard.com for the story.

Hi: Did ya hear the one from an industry insider about the Beatles reunion? I was wondering what time of the day these insider reports arrived. Before or after lunch could be a crucial detail…”Oh, we’re not ones to go around spreadin’ rumors…” !

apparently the Beck camp has dismissed this entirely

I agree I’d love to see The Birds, it would be quite fun.

And are you THE Poppa Chubby, who stole the Devil’s guitar?

it’s not the same without keith relf.

The current Yardbirds have real punch and energy. Why would they want to take a step backwards? Ben King as their lead axe-man is a young phenom. He’s history in the making. Page and Beck ARE history.

This article (and thread) is based on a quote from an anonymous “source”.

Apparently the whole Rolling Stone editorial board was absent that day in junior high school journalism class when you learn you’re never supposed to write a whole article based on information from a single source who won’t even let you use their name.

Of course, this Yardbirds scoop probably clinched the advertising deal with the makers of Depends Undergarments, so Rolling Stone had to rush it to print.

No Way ! However, the still improving Jeff Beck reuniting with the Yardbirds would be great. At this time he is far superior to Page and Clapton. They wondrously peaked in the 1970’s and 1980’s while Jeff Beck is still vintage. I doubt if Jeff will leave his British Estate, hot-rods, gardens, pets and vegetarian chef to tour at this time. But if he can combine his solo material with Yardbirds’ classics he would make some very good money in the US before returning home to the UK.

Bring it on!

The Yardbirds currently have an ace young guitarist in Ben King and a vocalist/bassist called John Idan who sounds as near as can be to the late Keith Relf. They play a real ass-kicking set with the current line-up (completed by harmonica player Billy Boy Miskimmin). Their new live CD, recorded at B.B.Kings in NY City in July 2006, is a great showcase for the band, mixing classic 60s tracks with more recent material. Musically it is hard to see what Beck or Page could add. In terms of exposure, on the other hand, they would give the band a much-needed boost.

Mmmm. Maybe they could get a hot new singer, call themselves the New Yardbirds. Then tour Scandinavia just to warm-up. And then ask the remaining members of The Who to suggest a new name. Because we all know it will go down like a lead…uh…balloon.

Beck and Page back together? what a rumor!I heard only yesterday that Bob Marley was planning a big comeback tour, pretty unbelievable eh!

Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page together again after 41 years. Sounds awesome on print, but knowing Jeff Beck’s reputation as being hard to work with and Jimmy Page’s physical shape these rumors won’t last long. If you’re interested, i suggest the Yardbirds classics and could of been classics from both the Jeff Beck and from the Jimmy Page periods. These include “Heart Full of Soul”, “Evil Hearted You”, “I’m a Man”, “Train Kept a rollin’” “Shapes of Things”, “Happenings Ten Years Time ago”; “Over, Under, Sideways, Down”, “Stroll on”, “Little Games” and “Think About it”. Add to that “Becks Bolero” an instrumental that Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page did together, included on the first Jeff Beck Album and you get a good idea of what they were all about.

A great vocalist replacement would be Bobby Kimball - if Toto would break long enough for him to do it. They are still out on the road in support of 2006’s “Falling In Between” and gearing up for 2008’s Toto Thirty Tour.

a Tales From the Crypt necrophiliacs wet dream butt fuck about these old dried up fucks

Good news, but like, what are they gonna do? They are all in there 60’s, Jimmy’s fingers aren’t as loose as they once were. Most of their fans are either dead, or have moved on.

Page has done pretty much nothing for the past 9 years. What makes you think he even wants to get off the couch? He’s old, lazy and rich. He has his day.

Great exclusive/lie. Hey, I heard Derek and the Dominoes are getting back together, too.

Wow…ROLLING STONE quotes as unnamed “source” as saying the Yardbirds are giong to reunite, and publishes it as a news story.

I’d like to say this is a sad moment for a once-esteemed magazine, but the five-star review for Mick Jagger’s “Goddess in the Doorway” already won that prize.

I like to eat my own poop!

I’m constantly amazed at all the flak out there. If rock stars egos didn’t get in the way, fans could really enjoy some great music. Why not reunite the Yardbirds or Zeppelin? Not that most of them need the money (?) but they’re all getting older. One last fling would be a tribute to all of us who supported them through the years.

Im skeptical on whether this reunion is true or not, but if it is, Im definitely going. It would be worth the money just to see Page and Beck together. How often do you get to see two guitar greats on the same stage?

you know the common thread? jimmy page.he’s desperate for attention so he starts rumors of zep/yardies reunions.sad.it would be awesome if this was true!yardbirds rule!

cat, he didn’t do anything…

HAHAHAHAHAHA. You fools… Page playing live….with Yardbirds…HAHAHAHA….years ago Rolling Stone used to be a music magazine, not gossip magazine…
Well, next one: Page will be playing with Paul Rodgers to relive The Firm….

Ya that sounds great but do Page and Beck still have their stamina? We’ll see.

Ya that sounds incredible but does
Page and Beck still their stamina? We’ll see.

As a MAJOR Yardbirds fan from WAY back in the day - any Yardbirds reunion would be fantastic. With or without Beck (one of my guitar heroes!). As far as the Zep whining, if anyone would take the time to study the YB’s music and Zep’s music and take the time to read “Hammer of The Gods” you may well agree with a lot of other people (including myself) that Zep brings a lot of influence in from the YB’s and more likely than not, Zep could be easily considered the next stage in the metamorphisis of the Yardbirds. Or, what the YB’s would have evolved toward left to their on devices, etc., etc.

I don’t know exactly how true this piece of news is from RS, but I had dreamt of the Yardbirds reuniteing with both Beck and Page for a long time. Other than the late Keith Relf, Paul Samwell-Smith, the band’s first bassist is missing!! What about him Yardbirds?
Other than Jeff Beck’s bass playing in Over, Under, Sideways Down track, Paul’s bass playing was great! As for seeking a lead singer, John Idan was pretty good. Unless there is someone that can duplicate Keith Relf’s vocals which I doubt it can be done, John Idan is as close as you going to get to sounding like Keith Relf. Just check out their 2003 album Birdland.

Give Plant a break, Jeez - what have you done lately for Rock & Roll?!?!

i might be wrong on this, BUT…

wouldn’t this be a great chance for rod “the mod” stewart to give his career a much needed boost of respectability as front man? thoughts?

Brahphecy?

Okay,,, so let me get this straight Jimmy Page, you won’t reunite Led Zeppelin the greatest rock band of all time but you’l reunite The Yardbirds?

PAGE is God!! Seriously

Jimmy Page is GOD!!!

They also had a good singer when they did the “Box of Frogs” in the 80’s. I just can’t recall the gentleman’s name
——————————–

JOHN FIDDLER, brilliant man.

Eric Clapton, the Yardbirds’ founding guitarist, has no plans to participate, according to the source.
———————————-

MORONS!!! ANYTHONY “TOP” TOPHAM was the FOUNDING AND FIRST YARDBIRDS GUITARIST. Strolling Bones SUCKS!! That is why I read CLASSIC ROCK!

Well it looks like jeff beck isnt so down…

http://www.billboar d.com/bbcom/news/article_displ ay.jsp?vnu_content_id=10036149 06

If these two greats get back on stage together the world will once again see why “classic” rock has yet to be surpassed by any fad sicne disco to rap since.
Yours,
RR

I agree…Page on stage playing anything remotely old school is worth it. He may be older, but the sound of a Les Paul plugged into a Marshall amp doesn’t age. I saw him play Zeppelin tunes with the Crowes, and it was impressive and bone rattling…

Hey David Coverdale,

You’re right on in your last post about the sketchiness of Plant’s rationale. Plant’s guilty of even worse hypocrisy than you suggest I think, specifically during the Page/Plant era. He often answered queries about why John Paul Jones wasn’t involved with the reply, “Because this isn’t Led Zeppelin.” Yet the Page/Plant tours consisted of (as I mentioned before) at best 15% new material and 85% Zeppelin material. It was the lamest public statement he could make about Jones’ non-involvement given the setlists they were dragging out night after night. Seeing Plant solo I would much prefer some material from “Pictures At Eleven” than I would hearing him play the umpteenth version of “Whole Lotta Love”.

To get this post back on topic: the last time a reporter spoke to Jimmy Page it was reported that all of Page’s guitars were in storage - so it’s doubtful that he has gotten his playing together in the meantime merely to take place in a Yardbirds tour. More likely we’ll hear next from Page with some kind of from-the-archives live Zeppelin release (or reissue of The Song Remains The Same) as has been rumoured, or if he is playing again perhaps he’ll finally release the solo record he’s been hinting at for awhile.

So, another great case of journalism Rolling Stone! The downhill slide continues…

I was wondering how long it would be before one of them killed the newest monthly bullshit rumor attributed to yet another “industry insider”. Who was it this time, the janitor at Warner Brothers?

“Respect to Zeppelin for not using the name to go out on tour.”

Yeah too bad, it NOT Zeppelin. No sign of Plant or JP Jones.

But I agree with what someone else said earlier too. As long as Page is on stage it’s money!

Just in at Billboard:

Contradicting a published report, Jeff Beck’s manager tells Billboard.com the guitarist has no plans to tour with Jimmy Page, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty as the Yardbirds this fall.

Beck’s manager says “there is no truth to any rumors” regarding Beck’s role in the potential reunion.

What awesome news, this is jimmys zep tour warmup

Respect to Zeppelin for not using the name to go out on tour.

This Yardbirds reunion may take place. I know that The Yardbirds have been asking Jeff to ‘guest star’ on a DVD with them but dont think they have a comittment from him yet. I would’nt bet on Page being involved. By the way, the writer doesnt seem to know that The Yardbirds already HAVE a vocalist-John Idan. Their new album is out now ‘Live At BB Kings’ and they will embark on a US tuur on August 9th. Details at www.yardbirds.us

I apologize for the Plant bash. I attended four of his shows over 16 months and own all of his solo material. I certainly enjoy his live Zep material, and also the twists he puts on those songs. Some of his solo albums are excellent, and some okay. What I don’t get, though, is how playing the Zep stuff solo is somehow OK, but a reunion is wrong. And I actually don’t think it’s about money; goodness knows they make millions each year on royalties and if they have managed their money well their great-grandchildren will enjoy the spoils, too. I have no problem with this. But I have spoken with journalists (not at RS) who know both men and the sticking point has always been Plant. He has every right to do as he wishes, of course, but I don’t get his rationale.

Beck and Page. Enough said. It will be great, if it is indeed true.

Shame Plant cnt hit the notes he once could. For that rreason alone Zep should never tour again and just rely on their many cd and dvd collections of live stuff which most of us wouldve killed to have been witness to.
The Cream reunion recently is evidence that music of ‘old’ cannot die…just mature. If you cant love it for what it is maybe you cant ever have loved it for what it was. Music is not a popularity contest no matter what it seems to have become. Bands like Cream, Led Zep, Yards, and others have and are the essence of art when rock and roll geniuses come together to make music. Too bad as well that some fans have lost their way to “whats new and fresh” and taken a back seat attitude to who has talent. Its a good thing that the old FARTS are hanging around to show the young set what can be accomplished with a little dedication and passion mixed in with style. Music is timeless if done right!!!

Oh yeah, killyridols,

Last time the Yardbirds played in town tickets were around 25$, far less than most touring acts, current or retro. Sorry you couldn’t afford that, mate!

For killyridols,

Anyone questioning Beck’s artistic integrity has obviously never seen him in concert. It would be a step back in terms of the technique he has developed over the years and has been refining in his live shows. To go back to a set of blues rave-ups night after night would probably bore him. Playing one song for a single tv appearance is one thing, but commiting to an entire tour is another. Which is why I pointed out that in the past Beck has declined playing a single song with the Yardbirds, so why would he commit to a tour? Plus, while you may ridicule Kelly Clarkson possibly Beck likes her voice. Who knows? To say that someone would play on American Idol for the money is hilarious though. How much could that actually net him? Seriously. Now, run along and play now.

Nice focal point…of Page’s wang chubby.

What about me?

Hey Spider Wisdom, the last time I checked Jeff Beck was playing on American Idol finales with Kelly Clarkson so why this would be a “step back” is beyond me. Seems like he needs money more than artistic integrity at this point. As far as the Yardbird’s shows I know I can’t afford the tickets so I hope the DVD turns out well.

This is my opinion about the entire matter:

In all fairness, you all reported last month that “sources” claimed that a Led Zeppelin tour was about to be underway.

I do not believe this will occur, and I believe that your “sources” are the same that claimed that Led Zeppelin was planning a major world tour. It’s nonsense and isn’t on ANY of their official web pages.

I am extremely disappointed in Rolling Stone’s lack of fact checking. You all seem to report anything. Lord, as a College Student in Journalism, don’t you have to confirm from TWO reliable sources before you can report this? Did you talk to Jimmy Page or his manager? I doubt you did either.

Even Cameron Crowe would be disappointed in your lackluster reporting of late….

—Chuck

“who?”

What!! The Yardbirds!! Damn man, if you haven’t heard of the Yardbirds you really need to stop listening to Panic at the Disco and start researching some real music.

When did Mike Nesmith join the Yardbirds?

When was Mike Nesmith in the Yardbirds?

That’s right Skullfreak, Plant is a loser. He only headed the greatest rock band the world has ever seen and forever changed the image and sound of rock. He sold millions of albums, is in the rock and roll hall of fame, and is legendary for his groupie flings. Not to mention the millions of dollars he has amassed throughout his career. What a freakin’ loser. I bet you are cooler that Robert Plant; with a name like skullfreak I’m willing to bet money on it!

ZOMG WAKE UP LITTLE SCHOOLGIRL

Why give Plant a hard time. So he doesn’t want to relive the glory days and is happy doing what he does.

His solo stuff, uneven at times, is cool and at least he tries new things. Can the same be said for Page? I mean, my God, the Firm was crap. And touring with the Corwes doing Led Zep songs was about a big a creative stretch as Courtney Love playing a junkie in the People vs. Larry Flynnt.

If Page couldn’t get it right with the voice of Paul Rodgers, why bother with him. He was great once — no doubt. But his time passed mid-way through the Presence album, which is why that album is so uneven. He was barely even there on In Through the Out Door. That was all John Paul Jones.

And finally, don’t make it seem like Plant is the only depriving Jonesy. God knows Jimmy didn’t offer an olive branch during the Plant/Page tour. And on that subject, wasn’t that tour enough? I mean, other than in through the out door, page/plant wrote everything. Is it just b/c they didn’t call themselves Led Zep? If so, you must love the “reunited” Smashing Pumpkins.”

Here’s the rule: if one of the founding members is dead, the reunion is off! No Bonham, no Zeppelin.

This story is most likely not true. The Yardbirds, with bassist Chris Dreja and drummer Jim McCarty, have been reformed and touring for some number of years now with a new line-up and a new album (released on Steve Vai’s label). Page and Beck have both attended gigs by this new line-up and have always declined to get onstage - even for a single song.

Interesting story, but more than likely this is just as much wishful thinking as those Zeppelin reunion stories. Remeber, there was an “industry insider” source for those stories too and the Zeppelin boys haven’t even considered a reunion for years!!

Also consider where Beck is in his career and his playing - this would be a HUGE backwards step for him and a grand exercise in holding back. He’s moved so far beyond that type of material.

I would also bet that those of you bashing the Yardbirds are unfamiliar with their actual music and recordings. I guess to the youth of today anything old = not cool, but really you’re only denying yourself some great music!

As for Zeppelin, and the Plant bashing, Plant does tour regularly with his own band - so, so much for your “won’t tour because he can’t hit the high notes” theory. He plays a fair dose of Zeppelin in those sets as well. And John Paul Jones has gone on record a number of times saying that he has no interest in a greatest hits type of Zeppelin tour, so those thinking that Plant alone is blocking a tour - you are mistaken. The Zeppelin reunion already happened - they called it Page/Plant and toured from ‘95-’98. Shame Jones wasn’t included, but as I said before he’s not up for the greatest hits sets anyways, and the Page/Plant tours were 85% Zeppelin material and 15% new material, so even he is glad to have been left out (read his interviews).

Anyhow, unfamiliar with the Yardbirds? The Jeff Beck era is the highlight, I would recommend their ‘66 album - known mostly by the title “Roger The Engineer”. Look for the version on cd that has both the mono and stereo versions on one disc - this includes the cuts with both Page and Beck as bonus tracks.

I like the idea of Steven Tyler as the lead singer (he would love it as well)but he doesn’t really have the right voice

The guy the Yardbirds have now John Idan just like Relf. I heard some of their live songs on XM and they sounded great (the current lineup, not Page / Beck obviously)

WHO CARES, REUNITE ZEPPELIN, THE YARDBIRDS SUCKED

Oh this is great news! Nothing better than seeing a bunch of old farts prancing around on stage trying to recapture their youth and play songs no one really cares about any more. Whoopee!

Not sure why everyone’s hating on Plant so much… a reunited Zep has a good chance of altering an agreed upon importance in rock history. RP made his choice, Page respects it (I haven’t heard him bash Plant *publicly*, at least), so he chose another avenue for continuing his love of performing.

It would be INCREDIBLE if Clapton joined up too, but I’m guessing that’s a wait-and-see thing. I actually would’ve liked to see Page reunite with The Black Crowes for a few gigs, but beggars can’t be choosers.

This is kind of cool news. I wonder who the vocalist would be? Maybe Eddie Vedder?

Plant is a loser. He doesn’t want to tour becasue he knows he can’t come CLOSE to hitting the high notes anymore.

They also had a good singer when they did the “Box of Frogs” in the 80’s. I just can’t recall the gentleman’s name.

potential replacements:
Chris Robinson
Steve Winwood
Joe Cocker
I know I’m gonna catch hell for this one but just think…Joe Lynn Turner.
Joe Elliot
John Mayall
Rod Stewart (never happen Beck would end up killing him).
Joss Stone
Steven Tyler (he’s a monster fan of Y-Birds).

it doesnt ma6tter who or who isnt there….as long as jimmy page is on that stage its MONEY

Evidently this means that Robert Plant passed on a Zep reunion tour, and Page decided to go on with some other mates. Good for him: I’m sick of Plant constantly acting the “artiste” and denying Page, Jones, and millions of fans the chance to actually enjoy a reunion of the world’s greatest hard rock band.

I hope they get somebody younger and cool for vocals (and no, I don’t mean Rob Thomas). Or maybe a rotating collection. That would be great.

It’s a shame that Clapton won’t participate in the reunion, but you just watch, he’ll show up some night on the tour and surprise everyone. sweet!

who?

Nice!

i’m back baby
