Wow, Jimmy on the cover of the new Guitar World! Looking good! He’s going to be in the new movie “It Might Get Loud”. I can’t wait to see it!

In all fairness to Jimmy, he has certainly given us a lot, and he deserves his retirement. But I can’t help hoping there’s at least an instrumental masterpiece awaiting the record buyers out there.

Jimmy Page is the greatest guitar player that ever lived. We can all only hope that he will tour one way or another one last time.

“If you have faith you can move mountains.” One day soon we will see Jimmy back on the stage: I BELIEVE THAT!

So much has been made of the symbiosis of Page and Plant, that the connection between Jimmy and John has been ignored. They were after all, the core of Led Zeppelin. In 2000 I witnessed Jones by himself for nearly 3 hours. He got the new material out of the way early on, and then proceeded to dismantle everybody’s minds. He finally brought out his bass, “This is not a very complicated instrument.” Black Dog ripped the hairs out of everybody’s head. Imagine him on tour with Jimmy.

Plant is a nipple

Dear Please Tour,

You forgot “Stranger In The City”, “Transition”, and “Miles High”! We all hope it happens!

The only thing that’s for sure about Jimmy Page is that nothing is for sure. Look, at this point in time everybody is just plain sick and tired of the bullshit. The only thing we have to hope for is if Jimmy comes around on a solo tour and plays small arenas just for the true fans. There’s Yardbirds stuff, Firm stuff, Outrider stuff, Deathwish stuff, L.Rising stuff, Lord Such stuff, Sonny Boy Williamson stuff, Zooma stuff, Airace stuff, and Virginia Wolfe stuff. Have I left anything out? Everybody should have a great time!

Sorry if you think I was saying shit on Plant…I was saying it is him that is saying shit on us.

I had an in to tickets for the New Haven show in 1980 and then Bonham finally did it - just like Moon - so it’s been an unfulfilled ambition of mine to see them live. But I respect Plant and I’m not going to shit all over the guy as some here have. Yeah, some of his solo stuff has been weak but some has been really good, especially with the Strange Sensation. Page is spectacular; Jones is an absolute master and I’d like to hear what they can conjure up together these days. No Plant, no sweat; but no Zeppelin either. I don’t care what they call it - Shitshow, Assface, whatever. These guys are musicians not keepers of some sacred obligation. They disbanded Zeppelin under heavy circumstances but that was 28 years ago and they shouldn’t be held to some irrational standard. People change. Some grow. Some shrink. I say, ”On with the show boys. And good luck.“

Just my 2 cents. When Led Zep was at it’s peak we the fans were there every step of the way. I bought first the albums, 8 tracks, tapes and now digitally remastered CD’s. Now, we the fans are asking for these men to put aside differences and give us, the fans, one more concert to enjoy what we had so long ago. We bought your records, t-shirts and anything else you had to sell and gave you the freedom to live in the manor you do now. We never thought that you would use that freedom to thumb your nose in our faces. Page is right…a reunion is four members of the band. Plant, think long and hard before you keep saying no to those still wanting to hear your songs and music. The Beatles can never have a reunion tour…it takes four members. Plant saying no is a slap in the face to your fans. We were good enough for you then..why not now?

“I am lying underneath this pyramid of light. It seems as if I had the whole weight of it upon me, crushing me with bliss.” 8th Aethyr

Good luck on Saturday night Jimmy! May the “Train Keep A Rolling!”

Led Zeppelin is Robert Plant for me….and for all fans…there is not Led Zep without PLANT

So Jimmy is going to induct Jeff Beck into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 4, 2009, seen only on Fuse. Big Deal! Beck hasn’t done a decent album since “Blow By Blow” - his only masterpiece. Instead of looking back to his days in “The Yardbirds” Jimmy needs to look forward to creating new music which his fans are dying to hear. It is indeed sad that the Zeppelin situation hasn’t worked out, but it isn’t Jimmy’s fault, and he shouldn’t let it hold him back. Having seen the various post-Zeppelin incarnations 11 times, including both Page & Plant tours; without any doubt the best show was the “Outrider” tour. Jimmy, Jason, and John Myles were spectacular! John Myles was perfect, because he just did his job, knowing full-well the fans were there to see Jimmy. A veteran of 165 shows, I’ve never seen a more exciting concert. It was only 5000, but everybody there was a diehard. Jimmy felt relaxed and came out before the house lights went off and chatted a bit with the crowd. It was a musician’s show for musicians. The amount of love the audience gave Jimmy was returned tenfold. The violin segment was lenghty and intense! I was watching “The Song Remains the Same” the other night, and it finally dawned on me what he was trying to say in his
sequence: Climbing the mountain represents the struggle of life, and when he finally reaches the top he “finds himself.” I guess that’s what were all trying to do really. Brilliant actually, the essence of Crowley’s message. I don’t imagine he’ll jam with Beck on Saturday night, but by all means, please come to town Jimmy; and bring Jones and Bonham with you. It will be all about the music!

Led Zeppelin is already the most legendary rock band in history regardless of whether they ever choose to tour again or not. If they choose to tour again (which I hope and pray that they will) I feel it will not be a true reunion without Robert Plant involved. I hope that all forces involved here will come together and make this the most positive event that we could ever dream of in 2009 or 2010.

Rumors keep making their way back from from England that Jimmy Page is hard at work at what could be the strangest and most exciting Led Zeppelin album of them all. Deeply immersed in the writings of Aleister Crowley, an unnamed source has leaked that Jimmy; along with Jones and Jason, could be laying down long, detailed, multilayered tracks with lots of overdubs and odd time signatures. “The guy already has a mountain of material to choose from,” the informant has revealed, “but he seems intent on plowing new ground, and moving into uncharted territory; Jimmy isn’t waiting on Robert anymore.” Equally intriguing, is the possibility that Jones could be experimenting with new synthesizer technologies; perhaps he is working on what could be the new “No Quarter.” Whatever the case, it is certain that “Jason is ready to go,” apparently, “providing all the enthusiam and percussion they need,” said the source. Meanwhile, Robert Plant continues to re-record and perform Jimmy’s songs; and win awards with them: “Please Read The Letter.”
“Nevertheless,” the informant pointed out, “”The Song Remains The Same” began as an instrumental - Robert added his part later - so there’s always hope he will join forces. If it happens it will shock the world; it will leave everybody on the floor!”

Elsewhere, actor Mel Gibson has been spotted again, drunk and nude on the beach with his hot new girlfriend…

It’s easy to see why Robert is reluctant to do the 2009 summer tour. First of all, the correct figure is one billion, not 800 million, Peter Grant wouldn’t settle for a penny less. Even though they each have a billion in assets, it’s all tied up in investments, they need liquid cash like everybody else. If Abba was actually offered that amount, then why didn’t they take it? Zeppelin would be the first and only band that could command that amount, and turn a profit for promoters.

But Robert has other concerns as well: The 1975 tour ended with a terrible car crash that left him barely able to walk, “Guide us from this curving path, that turned my feet to stone.” The 1977 tour ended with any father’s worst nightmare. The 1980 tour cost him his best friend. Some began to speculate that Jimmy’s involvement in the occult had somehow turned Robert into a lightning rod. How can he not be thinking what will happen next if he does the tour? There is simply too much power involved, as this would be the biggest tour of all time. Robert has legitimate concerns about unleashing such mighty spiritual forces, all that karma. There would be no predicting which way it could turn. There would also be pressure to release a new album, and it would be expected to be the greatest of all time: Beethoven’s 9th. The old canard about the Black Album has resurfaced once again: Apparently it was to be entitled “Siembamba”,
and involved the comfort and pleasure of the death sleep. Legend has it, that ater seeing a Zeppelin flying over the pyramids on television, Page headed straight to Egypt. There, having climbed the Great Pyramid in the moonlight, Page confronted the Egyptian god of death Osiris, and was handed the object depicted on Presence. Only Jimmy knows where the original is, allegedly made of solid gold. But that’s when all the trouble started. Then there is the mysterious reversal of Plant’s most enigmatic lyrics witch can only be heard by laying a stylus on a vinal platter of LZ IV, and rotating the record backwards with one’s finger on the label:
“If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow…” clearly becomes, “Here’s to my sweet Satan. The one who lit a path, for to make me sad. Whose power is Satan!”. But defenders of Zeppelin’s intentions
would argue that if Stairway To Heaven is a song of spiritual redemption, why wouldn’t its converse state the opposite. Equally mysterious are Plant’s desperate lyrics that appeared on LZ VIII: “Seek the unsuspecting and the weak…that threatened them from the deep. Dull is the armour, cold is the day. Hard was your journey, dark was the way. Touched by the timely coming, roused by the keeper’s sleep.” Obviously a segment salvaged from the frightening Siembamba. One of Zeppelin’s road managers has stated that Robert was so creeped out by it all that he would actually hide in the bathroom and refuse to come out. A famous psychic noted in the press, “I’m not suggesting that Jimmy Page has unleashed an evil force on his friends. But what I’m saying is that the strenghts of Page have had their effect.”

So Robert has a lot to think about going forth with a tour that would almost certainly bring him and Jimmy knighthood, but might cost him it all.

Ok let me just say that the VERY debateable fact of weather or not robert plant can sing or weather he ever could is BESIDE THE POINT. THE POINT IS that is that if “little Robert Anthony ” doesn’t “come and play” then this is what will happen: “the song DOES NOT remain the same” any estimate on how much tickets will go for? anyone? anyone?

Plant still sounds good and they sounded great together at the 02 in london but what it boils down to is plant needs to grow his testicles back and perform with possibly the greatest rock band ever…allison krauss or zep???

Plant st

It amazes me all the people who just post idiotic comments, that have no real knowledge of the band. Plant still sings just fine, and his solo career has been nothing short of brilliant. Without him there is no Zep! But even if Robert wanted in it is still not Zeppelin. Zeppelin ended the day John Bonham died. It is totally disrespectful to try to call any incarnation without him Zeppelin. I am not sure why people even think of Jason Bonham in regards to Zeppelin, he is a total opportunist with little talent. I say, keep the legend in tact, if you decide to tour Mr. Page, I am ok with that, but DO NOT call it Zeppelin. All you would be doing is insulting the great legacy of this band. Robert Plant I hope you continue with your amazing solo career, you have much to be proud of!!

My dad is 50 and introduced me to the best music ever made on this earth LED ZEPPLIN. Im 27 years old and have dreamed of seeing a band I never thought would be on tour again…with that said Zepplin is not zepplin without Robert Plant and jimmy page. I have a huge respect for them and I dont know there reasons for not touring all I can say is that I will keeping dreamin of the day that I can see them live with my Dad and rock out. I wish the rest of the band luck and I will have to think about seeing them without the other guys, On one hand I would feel guilty but on the other I might have to take what I can get.

Yes children, long before Metallica’s “Black Album” and AC DC’s “Back in Black” or Spinal Tap’s all black album cover there
was indeed a “Black Album”, and as usual Led Zeppelin did it first.
According to a reputable source, the band had recorded an album’s worth of death chants translated from Old Swabian by a German writer. Read your Zeppelin history Vince!
As for proving whether there is a “Zelator” consisting of Dr. Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham, and Myles Kennedy, prove there isn’t one! Blah, blah, blah!

It would probably be tons more fun to watch these four hooligans go at it at mega-volume than to somberly pay homage to Commander Robert Plant spitting out the same old yarn. You still take your orders from Elton John and a Boomtown Rat Percy!

Oh - and there’s no “Zelator” and no “Black Album”. If there were any of that, it would have been officially released by now. Rumors, rumors, rumors, especially “anonymous” rumors, blah blah blah.

LZ defined a couple, maybe even a few generations, and I’m a huge fan. But those days are long gone. Greatest rock band ever or not, the expiration date has passed. Robert can’t sing anymore, that’s why he doesn’t support a reunion tour. And if I were him I wouldn’t keep dragging on either. If these 3+1 guys tried picking up where they left off rather than cashing in on nostalgic dreams of the past like they do, within 2 years they’d be playing in 1000-seat clubs. Once everyone saw them, it’d be done. Folks, it was time for us and Led Zeppelin to move on around 1990.

Rumor has it that Jimmy Page has decided to call the new band Zelator. The new album is rumored to contain portions of the notorious “Black Album” which Robert Plant demanded be destroyed, but has somehow resurfaced. Hmmm, I think I’ll stay home and watch TV when they come to town.

I would gladly pay $1,000 and travel to any U.S. city to see a reunion concert that included all four (including Jason). I don’t care if the voice and the guitar and bass sound as good as it did 30 years ago; I don’t sound the same either. But it would be a reunion of not just the band, but of those whose youth was defined by the music the band put out, and being again in a room with the greatest rock band ever.
I had tix to see Zep, but the concert was cancelled when Robert Plant’s son died. I never had the chance again, and would relish such an opportunity.
Those who are trashing a reunion just don’t get it.

It does not matter whether Plant can sing or not. Just to see them on stage together would be enough. To think of all the tours they did for only hundreds of dollars, all the bad publicity that tried to taint them, they rose above. They are not arguably one of the greatest bands of all time, they are the greatest of all time. They started it all, and with that said, they should be around to finish what they started!

Plants a tit.He wont ever do zep again because his voice is gone. I wouldnt see Zeppelin with him now anyway. I WOULD see zeppelin without him if they got the right guy

Well, I just saw The Who a week or so ago, here in Osaka, Japan, and while I was a tad skeptical initially, it didn’t take very long for the boys to win me over. I think it was money very well spent, and yep, the boys still rock. Great show, in spite of them having lost not one, but two original members… If Zep can reunite and do their past stuff justice? Why not? Like The Who, their creative nucleus is still intact. I’d personaly love to see it- even if Robert Plant can’t sing the older material the way Roger Daltry still can…

i read an article today where robert plant said he was considering touruing with zep, in late 2009 early 2010. i hope its true!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve laughed pretty hard reading these posts. The weirdest one being about Jimmy and his chipmunk/hampster stories and the funniest saying he looks like S. Segall’s grandfather. Hilarious.

The original Pink Floyd will never reunite again, since the death of their keyboard palyer. Time is of the essence…

NO one can replace Robert Plant in Zeppelin. And that my friends, is the name of that tune.

I’m 48 years old and can remember Led Zeppelin in their heyday. The last truely great album they did was 1975’s “Physical Grafitti”. They were and still are one of my favorite bands but their time has come and gone. So guys, have the class and decency to preserve your incredible legacy and call it a day. Those folks who are pushing for a Zep reunion should just buy any one of the first 6 Led Zeppelin albums and crank it up. A new Zep album or a tour would tarnish an amazing legacy.

only one singer that could do it -Ann Wilson!! She sounds just like “old cod piece.” She even wails like him.

Personally, I’d be willing to extend a hearty “BRAVO” to Jones, Page and Bonham. I think they have the right to do whatever they wish. If Plant continues to persue other interests, then I don’t believe the other three should be held back. Have On, Boys!
One suggestion: I hope they land an awesome unknown singer for their future tours/projects. There’s no shame in finding a Led Zeppelin “tribute band” singer.
The band JOURNEY did just that and he’s awesome! Plus having an unknown come into the fold means that he won’t necessarily have a hi-profile history. No “Sammy Hager and LZ” or “Sabastian Bach and LZ”. Just LED ZEPPELIN. That’s the way I think they should go (in my opinion.)
Also, it would leave a wide open door for brand new LZ material!
Hmm…You never know.
In closing, wouldn’t you think that John Bonham would’ve wanted them to continue after he passed?
I do.

Led Zep playing together would be great, it would culminate a list of shows seen over 35 years. If it happens it would be phenominal. I just saw King Crimson at the Nokia Theatre in NYC, UN@$#%ING REAL. They needed two drummers to replace Bill Bruford, but seeing Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin,and Gavin Harrison, and Pat Mastelotto brought back memories of Crimson w/ Bruford in 1994 thrack tour(@ Phoenix Symphony Hall) and 1983 Pier show Discipline/Beat, and you know what, the lineup changes every so often, but if you couldn’t put forth the creative juices and come together and play, the show wouldn’t go on. But the legion of fans would line up to see the show. But like Zappa would have people come together to play and if they couldn’t handle the signatures they were out, Now Dweezle is doing a great job with Zappa PLays Zappa and getting the music of his dad out there for the old fans and trying to bring out or in the new fans. Maybe Zep should do like Dweezle and have Plant overdubbed on some songs while they crank out the serious jams. Dweezle’s band is top notch and the shows are fantastic, it’s just too bad I didn’t get to the Paladium on all the Halloween’s to see the Show with Frank before his unfortunate demise. If the Zep show goes on I’ll get tix, they have been one of my favorite bands since I was 8. If not I’ll wait for the DVD of London02 show. Go see Derek Trucks, it’s a must see.

At age 10 (1974) I started listening to my older brothers Zep albums without permission and fell in love with the music and the band. Anything including at least 2 original band members will be of interest. Of course Mr. Plant is crucial to a “real reunion.” If it happens I will be pleased. I’m a fan, always will be. C’mon Robert take the plunge!

I’m old enough to remember when all four Beatles were still alive, and everybody it seemed wanted the Beatles to get back together. Now i’m glad they never did. Would you really want some crappy Beatles disco album from 1977 sullying their legend?

Let’s face it: Page never could sustain much of a career after Zep whereas Plant did, thus less interest on his part in revisiting the past. He can’t hit the high notes anymore and any new material wouldn’t sound anything like what you remember. The 02 reunion concert was fun and a few more would be nice, but let’s leave it at that.

I think that while it will not be as legendary as if there was plant, think about it. You’re still seeing John Paul Jones, Jason Bohnam, and Jimmy Fucking Page! Also, with a new singer, they can probably do the songs the way they used to, and not have to keep transposing them.

Let’s not forget that Page was the genius behind the band….he formed Zeppelin. Now, he can do whatever the hell he wants regarding any type of a tour. I’m with him all the way!

This is starting to echo the botched Diana Ross and The Supremes “reunion” tour of 2000. IT BOMBED! You can’t replace members and call it a “reunion.” If the original members aren’t in place, it is doomed to failure. Paige is saying it takes 4. Mary Wilson has been saying it takes 3. The math isn’t that difficult. Zep is not Zep without Robert Plant.

Abba (yes Abba) made a comment that they would NEVER reunite, regardless of the amount of money offered, because they didn’t want to tarnish peoples memories of what they were and never could be again. I saw Page/Plant twice in the 90’s and Page with the Black Crowes in 2000 and that’s as close to a reunion as I care to get.

Zep was dead after IV, the rest of the records basically disappoint. To think that they could somehow return to form in 2009 when they were practically anemic in 1979 is unrealistic. The only thing that could possibly make a tour meaningful is an excellent new record, (unlikely) otherwise it’s just a cash-in and a rip-off. I heard some comparisons to the Who, and at least the DVD of the 2005 Boston Who gigs showed a passion and retained ability that Zep couldn’t match in the movie from the NYC shows in ‘74. And the songs were always better. Zep depended on a lot of ground-breaking production tricks to add lead to their pencil, live they always had mixed results. Screaming into an SM57 over the lousy monitors that were the norm in the seventies permanently damaged Bob’s throat, and Jason ain’t John, there’s not much swing in his thump. Buy LZ II, turn it up REALLY loud, and use your imagination. Thirteen bucks well-spent…..

This could be the greatest PR job in history. I think there’s a strong likelihood of Plant joining the tour (which is coming, make no mistake). Page is just trying to sustain the love following the O2 concert, while accomodating Plant’s wishes to conclude his current tour. But they do need to get it underway soon. And they can’t call it a Zeppelin tour if the lineup isn’t Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham.

Final note. This band still rocks. Page’s physical ability may be diminished slightly with age, but his overall skill is so formidable it will make little difference. Enough with the talk about Jason Bonham being inferior. He is different, but definitely has the chops. He never could’ve played O2 if he didn’t. Jones has always been a beast. Plant really is the weakest link, not that aging 28 years is his fault. He set such an impossibly high standard in his youth - scary for anyone to pull off and I don’t blame him for being reluctant to tour. He’s likely to draw some very unfair criticism. But you know what, Robert? Screw the critics. If you can still do it with passion, join up with your bandmates for one last hurrah!

Jack Russell from Great White would be perfect.

LOOK, JIMMY KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO HANDLE MEDIA. HES THE PEBLICITY KING! HE WONT STEP OUT OF BOUNDS WITH THESE GUYS. BUT ZEP HAD THE RESPECT TO SAY UPON BONZOS DEATH, THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM OR RECORD AS LED ZEPPELIN AGAIN- AND AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT DECADE PLUS, THEY DIDNT. SURE, CHRIS ROBINSON ROCKS, ( HED BE MY CHOICE), BUT IT WONT BE L.Z.-JIMMY WONT STEP INTO THAT HOLE. SO…ROCK ON!

In zep’s day, nobody could compare to jimmy’s playing. Why not tour ? Everybody else does for better or worse!

Listen you idiots. Page is one of the greatest guitar players of all times! His work with the FIRM was phenomenal. Go on tour Zeppelin and I will be there!

A Led Zeppelin reunion tour without Plant is like a Rolling Stones tour without Jagger, Aerosmith without Steven Tyler, or the Doors without Jim Morrison.

Bonham’s son can do an adequate job of drumming, but since John Bonham didn’t do vocals, his absence is not nearly as noticeable as Plant’s abasence would be…

led zeppelin were untouchable in 1969 and 70. they should have just stopped then. powerfull and very heavy. listening to them now?. i like to see those guys just go out and have a jam. get some great singers and play great music.

led zep has always been incredible bonhams son is in my opion better than him. Their are plenty of singers who zep cud record with.

Joel how do you know a new zeppelin album wouldnt be any good? i might have thought the same thing until i heard some of the stuff from the 02 that got out. that wasnt a washed up band, that was a band as good as in 78.you may be able to predict the future, but until you can tell me whos going to win the super bowl and the exact score, your predictions are BS

I’m fouteen and think that they should do a concert only becuse it would be the pinical of my life to see them all in a concert together (even though Bonham won’t be there) but I also think that we should leave well enogh alone……. I WANT TO SEE THEM LIVE.

New Led Zeppelin material would be nothing but a let down. They’ve all moved in different musical directions. Without Bonham, new recordings could only tarnish their reputation. Tough as it is for some fans to hear, Led Zep is over. But we have 10+ albums of pure, incomparable Led Zep magic to keep us happy.

Plant is selfish, nobody has a problem with him doing his own thing its only healthy we all need variety, but every 4 or 5 years he should return home and tour with the band that gave him the ability to choose the way to live his life. Led Zeppelin with a new vocalist would be exciting and an exciting evening to look forward to for a lot of hard working people. I saw the Who last year and they were so good with only two of the original line up.

Plant is a fruitcake. And Krauss is somekind of church glee club goody two shoes nerd. the two of them together are a complete freak show. Other than the ocassional upsskirt waft fro her tampon thats polly what plant enjoys. whatever. PAGE!JONES!GET A NEW SINGER. CREATE NEW MUSIC. TOUR IT. AND PLAY SOME OLD STUFF TOO. ITS NOT THAT COMPLICATED. YOUVE DONE IT BEFORE, MEN

doing a zeppelin reunion tour without plant is like a beatles reunion without john and george.

Actually it’s already happened… get your hand on and your ears around “Live at The Greek” where Chris Robinson and the Black Crowes along with MR. Jimmy Page rip up the floor through a two disc filled with spot on LZ material that shames mostly anything that the Great Old Ones are likely to swing these days. DISCLAIMER; I really like the Crowes a LOT to to begin with and have heard NOTHING from the O2 benefit show… anything known about an audio or [better] CD of that show ?
Peaxe,
Rev. D.

Without John Bonham, it’s not Led Zeppelin.

they are rehearsing with someone right now… it’s only time before everyone finds out who it is.. i know this is FACT.

Actually folks, it’s way too late for any kind of Zep redo. I would stay “retired” if I were them. Fans like me who are old enough to have wanted it to happen back on the 90’s would probably boycott the tour anyway. Not that they couldn’t sell out tickets cuz the ticket mafia buys them up and resells any major act these days. 25 years (hard to believe) of listening to Plant whine on about breaking new ground - always changing and pushing the envelope, etc, has worn thin. Plant’s solo works were nothing more than pop excess riding the waves of fandom created by Zeppelin. He’s been a lucky SOB who knew how to make the most out of a living legacy without having to share the profits or the stage with hanger-ons from his youth (P&P) . So what makes it ok now? Nothing.

Their back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Latest news as of 9-26-08 Robert Plant has agreed to the reunion tour for 2009.

You know, all you dumbass haters love to sh*t on everything. I’d love to see Led Zeppelin reunite, and I personally think it will happen. If they don’t, there’s plenty of other great rock bands to see. It would be disappointing, but life goes on. If you ever loved Led Zeppelin, then why not get a little excited about a reunion. Heck, Led Zeppelin probably wouldn’t even make my top 50 bands, but I’d still love to see them. You people just don’t get it. All this “let it go” talk is just pure rubbish. If you don’t feel like believing, then please just shut the F*** up.

Jimmy is writting a cartoon about a woodchuck named Tom and a hamster called John.Episode 1 they smell things and describe the aroma.

zeppy have GOT to get back together

I don’t understand this obsession people have with revisiting the past and not letting it go in order to move forward. Sure, they were amazing, but if you want Led Zeppelin just take out the vinyl, cd or mp3 and crank it up. Want to see them live, there’s countless dvd’s you can also crank up. The band died along with Bonzo, and should stay like that in order to not taint and make a mockery of their once brilliant canon. The Beatles are still the almighty Beatles because once it ended, it ended, preserved brilliance for eternity. Led Zeppelin deserves the same afterlife. People, just let it go.

I am enjoying the Plant-Allison collaboration and hope it continues. It is something new, not something revisited, for both of them. You can feel the joy of discovery and the creativity going into it- I bought it. Listen to it a lot more than Zeppelin these days.

any new led zep album would totally suck…page has no more riffs left, plant can no longer sing…..have bonham died when he did actually preserved the band in a state of glory that would have been ruined had they released anything in the same vein as In Through the Out Door…just listen to the stuff jimmy page did after zep….it’s really crappy unfortunately.

Robert Plant is working on a new morning television program with Star Jones Reynolds.

The show will be called “Live with Star and Robert”

Robert will talk about groupies, venereal disease,and having long hair at an old age.

Meanwhile, Star will talk about bisexual men,losing weight naturally,and how to get a new television show when your last one really sucked.

i think they’ll do something, but plant doen’t like to feel under pressure about that… so, turn off the lights and let see what will happen.

ps jimmy is so so beautiful !!

Jimmy Page is one of the top 20 rock guitarists of all time (considering influence, tone, technique and songs), along with David Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iommi, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Randy Rhoads, Billy Gibbons, Joe Strummer, Andy Summers, Billie Joe Armstrong, Jack White, Kirk Hammett, Josh Homme, Billy Corgan, Adam Jones, Kurt Cobain, and Jerry Cantrell — and I’d throw Page in the top 5 of that list. So when he has something to say, I listen.

They owe to their fans to tour. There is so much garbage music out there now, we need a Zep reunion.

Robert Plant may have left Led Zep in 1980 but he never changed course.

Apart from some mild flirtations with the material in the late 1980s and early 1990s he smartly moved on and focussed on what he wanted to do, rather than allowing the legacy of Led Zep define his future. I’m sure he approached the material of ‘Shaken ‘N’ Stirred’ with the same degree of hope and fear as Led Zeppelin 1. Sure, an exercise in contrasts for you, but for Plant, it’s always been about discovery.

How many ‘has-been bands’ have we been tortured with for the past few decades trying to recapture the glory days to mixed results and bastardized line-ups? Too many. Few long-time bands, such as Rush, have succeeded in moving their music forward and keeping it poignant and meaningful.

Plant has been respectful of his Zep mates and was wise to limit the reunion to O2 last December. Quite frankly, he doesn’t give a rip what any of you or the pop culture at large want. If he ever did, Led Zep would’ve been a cross between the Beach Boys and The Kinks or something. No.

What Plant is doing today is precisely what he and Page did in the 1960s: Pushing it.

That abject ballsyness of embarking on this collaboration with Alison Krauss is a case in point. Sure she’s a hottie, but his interests were cultural and musical. The success of the relationship and the mainstream acceptance probably blew them away - at least, they say it did. Early interviews showed they weren’t so sure this would even outsell Walking into Clarksdale. But they, along with T-Bone Burnett were out to discover what this mix of musicians could do together. It wasn’t about discovering new music - they performed covers - but about discovering something behind the music, culturally and structurally. That sort of exploration is refreshing, at least, to me.

I love the music of Led Zep as much as anyone here. But the fact is that day is done. It’s over. If they should indulge us in occasional reunions, I’ll be delighted, and I certainly would not object to seeing a tour. But it’s unlikely.

Plant is reluctant to return to Led Zep for three simple reasons: He’s been there, he’s not there anymore, and now he’s over there — right where he’s been all along. And he’s moving right along…

No tour or reunification until Robert Anthongy Plant gets a haircut. Any info on shenanigans on the Plant/Krause tour wink wink say no more

Robert Plant is a tool. Just get together with your former band mates and tour already. I don’t care about a new album because it’ll probably suck anyway, but we want a reunion tour. Also they ought to dig up John Bonham’s casket and prop it up on stage at their concerts so it’ll be a real union of all original members.

I know one thing - time is not their side, so sh*t or get off the pot with this. But if they aren’t going to do anything else, please put the London show out on CD!

I’m glad Page is looking so healthy and well. That’s more important than any reunion.

Will Houston, why would you lump Coldplay (one word BTW) and Amy Winehouse (the best artist out there right now) with The Jonas Sisters and Miley Cyrus? That makes no sense. Personally I don’t care if Zep tours…Plant’s voice is shot and it’s painful to listen to him sing in a lower register ’cause he can’t hit the notes anymore. Same with Daltrey and the “Two”.

Right, if The Who can do it and the Fab 4 (actually the Three-tles) in the mid 90s, Zeppelin should have no trouble jamming together. So they are old and grey…it’s like fine wine. Stones are still doing it, Queen (without Freddy), re-formed Skynryd and who can forget the Eagles. Just do it.

Who would you rather tour with? The old grey haired geezer Pagey, or the voluptious Ms. Krause? Give Percy some credit for moving on.

I think this is just Page and companies way of building anticipation. They will do something together in the future. What is anyone’s guess.

How about the 4 of them get together… but don’t call themselves Led Zep? They can call themselves whatever the hell they want. As long as they play Zep, they can call themselves “The S***tiest Band Ever” and I would still go see, “The S***tiest Band Ever”. In fact, that would be the greatest concert ever lol.

Why? Because look at today’s music scene- Jonas Brothers, Cold Play, Amy Winehouse, Miley Cirus…etc. Is it a terrible thing to look forward to a Zeppelin reunion while we can’t find two fucking sticks to rub together? Sorry, you must be 12.

Robert Plant is small enough to recognize that nothing that Zep could produce now will ever compare to their great library of music. Why can’t people just leave well enough alone, enjoy the legacy for what it is and move on with their lives?

Why, every month or so, do I read somewhere about Jimmy Page answering with another ambiguous ‘Most probably not’ to questions about a Zeppelin reunion? I love you man, but either do it or tell everyone to shut up about it. Don’t create this false hope and suspense if it is never going to happen. And you look like you could be Steven Segall’s grandfather.

KISS RULES!!!

the WHO do just fine!ZEP should look @ they’re success.we all just want more,but sometimes its just over.

Robert Plant should recognize that even if his recent work and tour is great. (and it is good) It doesn’t “matter” as much as a Led Zep Reunion would. generations to come will not be influenced by his recent bluegrass and folk stuff-point blank. in 50 years you will walk into a guitar shop on the thawed out north pole and see a kid in space boots plucking out the intro to Stairway to Heaven. You can’t and should not deny that kind of legacy!!!
who knows… maybe they could write some new material for the kid in space boots to learn.

Damn Joost beat me to it and I spelled it wrong.

LedZeppelin is my all time favorite band and i would love nothing more than a reunion but even thinking of Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant sounds crazy no one will ever be able to replace his brilliant vocals

LS = Lynard Skynard

That would be Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Wocka Wocka.

i know i know this one, but who’s LS?

Though I was never a huge LZ fan, I have so totally respected them for not continuing as LZ, once their drummer died. I mean, the fact that LS continued after Ronnie died, is sacrilegious to me, much like The Doors trying to break on through to the other side without Jim.
