Robert Plant Insists Zeppelin Will Not Tour, Rolling Stones to Re-Release Comp on USB, Radiohead Ditches “In Rainbows” Artwork

10/24/07, 9:25 am EST

  • Robert Plant is adamant that Led Zeppelin’s November show won’t turn into a tour: “There’ll be one show and that’ll be it,” he told Uncut. “We need one last great show because we’ve done some [reunion] shows and they’ve been crap.” Plant, who released an album with Alison Krauss yesterday, said Zep never considered touring to blow away bands like the Who and the Rolling Stones: “We weren’t in competition with anybody. We were at that time the biggest band in the world. There wasn’t anyone else.”
  • The Rolling Stones will re-release 1975’s retrospective Rolled Gold next month as Rolled Gold+ (with twelve additional tracks) in three formats: a download version, an environmentally friendly pop-up case and on USB, making it the U.K.’s first USB album.
  • Radiohead’s cover artist, Stanley Donwood, told BBC Radio 4 that the band ditched his In Rainbows image in a “last-minute decision” when the album was only released digitally. Donwood said his creation was “a rainbow, but it is very toxic, it’s more like the sort of one you’d see in a puddle.”
  • Police are treating a series of weekend attacks at Georgia’s Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts as hate crimes after a noose was found around the neck of a bronze statue of Tupac. Police have a man in custody and are continuing to investigate.
  • Britney Spears‘ backup dancers on the Video Music Awards were never paid in full. Spears’ management usually compensated the dancers, Us Weekly reports, but their payment may have hit a glitch after Spears was dropped by the Firm just days after the VMAs.

Even if Led Zep’s reunion shows are “crap” they should still get together and tour. Most people wouldn’t care just as long as they get to hear live Zep and relive their past druggy days.

Love Zep, but when is it just too old? This is high energy music, a great legacy, leave it intact.

thats rock n roll–don`t ya beleive it Plant is mr. manipulator — or he really just vasilates due to his libra in venus –so i d never say no–final word –if he capable of touring with others why not Page and Jones—also if theres creativity to do this project with t bone & krauss and other player –doesn`t mean he and previous bandmates can`t be fresh together as well–i don`t believe for one second Jimmy would have announced it if at somepoint along there gonna go for it—-lets put it this way thinkers Robert may enjoy this new little folly with krauss but the following is not that huge –mostly country fans and older people liking the stairlift version of Plant here-this really ages him -but after the response to the evidence of how many ARE INTERESTED IN AN ACTUAL EVEN IF ITS NOT TOO MANY SHOWS LED ZEPPELIN REUNION–RELEASE OF MOTHERSHIP & SONG REMAINS–IN FACT YOU GOT TO ASK WHY THEY CHOOSE THE TERM–THE LANDING OF “MOTHERSHIP” levee broke –chicago is center–like a bridge-however-in Plants priory of of brian days he concluded his sets with white rabbit—-off with her head”

I think Jimmy wants it more than Robert, seems Plant has a good solo thing going, good band, creative, & is enjoying. Page wants Zep back. Plant has always resisted. The reason “why not” is they haven’t gotten along well, & they tried in the 90’s. Was there great excitement for Page/Plant CD? It was mediocre.

Plant is smart. Why ruin your legacy.It was what it was. They really never were a great live band. Kind of spotty don`t you think?

Roy Harper | 10/24/2007, 2:23 pm EST

BG- I agree, don’t ruin that legacy. Zep, like hendrix, never sold out, got old, jumped the shark so to speak….live, very hungry & bombastic up til ‘72-3, spotty years after. Never a band to recreate the studio version faithfully, but I think they prided themselves on that.

Tim | 10/24/2007, 2:39 pm EST

They’ll never do a tour just off the back of the o2 gig that’s for sure, but wait till after the show. Odds on they record a new album and tour off the back of that. They did an interview a few years ago that pretty much stated that they’d need a new album 2 justify a tour.

I love what Radiohead did by releasing their new record “In Rainbows” basically free to the public, but I hope that if or when the album is eventually released in stores, that it has artwork to go long. Personally, I think that is one of the best parts of buying an album, specifically Radiohead, because their artwork gives a listener so much to think about while enjoying the music.
