Comment of the Week: Readers Recruit Singers for Led Zeppelin 2.0

The readers at Rock Daily were quick to offer up suggestions when Scott Weiland left Velvet Revolver, but the reaction to the idea that Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham would hit the road without Robert Plant jump-started a torrent of new ideas (David Coverdale. Just to piss off Plant.” But how can anybody argue with the logic of hogleg, who wrote “It might work if they get Sammy Hagar.” Though the band has been rumored to be working with Steven Tyler and Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy, consider this the Rock Daily endorsement for the Red Rocker.

Could a Robert Plant-Free Led Zeppelin Tour Succeed?

I think they should look at Great White’s, Jack Russell or even Tesla’s, Jeff Keith. Both have done some awesome LZ covers, especially Jack Russell.

PEACE!

The dude from Type-O Negative or the guy from Life of Agony.

Seandog, Russell’s take on “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” on MTV Unplugged years ago still sends shivers down my spine. How about Geoff Tate from Queensryche?

Why is no-one suggesting chicks? There are some rockin’ divas out there that would kick ass over some of the mundane and predictable suggestions that keep floating around (Sammy? yawn.) What about Ann Wilson, P!nk, Pat Benatar? I can think of a lot more…

Comment on RS: you’re running out of ideas aren’t you?

As if your laughable singers’list wasn’t bad enough (No Sinatra? Don’t be surprised if you get your legs broken pretty soon, ah-Ha!), you’re at it again with that Led Zep-with-or-without-Plant.

Missing the real important point, of course: before inviting them to fill up blank space by discussing the “merits” of Hagar (God forbid!) or any other hairy dude, the fans want one thing:

SIGN A PETITION FOR THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF A 02 GIG DVD!

The members can do whatever they want, but they have a duty of making that gig available to the millions of not-so-privileged who couldn’t go.

To not release it make them look baaaaad, period.

If you want it, start it, for godsake!

why screw with your legacy? Plant seems to be the smart one here.

chris cornell? free, isn’t he. stairway to heaven …i can hear it now! been a longtime since zep really rock and rolled!!

Dave | 11/17/2008, 7:46 am EST

The only logical choice is Chris Robinson. He’s been there, done that, and it worked well.

Dean Wien | 11/17/2008, 10:21 am EST

All I have to say to the people that are even thinking of replacing the vocalist of Led Zeppelin, and this also goes for the other members of the band…”STOP”!!!!! Jimmy…You should hook up with the Yardbirds, and ask John Paul Jones to join you for a Yardbirds Tour!

Big no! | 12/2/2008, 12:22 am EST

I know I’m only twenty years old and to some people thats to young to know what I’m talking about, but I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin with a burning passion for 15 years… Don’t tour without Plant. It’s just wrong.
