clw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Of course I do not know him but he seems like such a kind person,the pics with his kids and his dogs and a few of a few differant animals that have been posted.

reswati Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Until now we have never met someone here who claimed to be one of the members, so we do not know if they visit this site or not. Imo the members of Zeppelin know how adored they are, since they met fans/groupies for over 40 years by now. What I like bout the man: His voice and his eclectic taste in music. His sense of humor.

SozoZoso Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 His charm, wit, humor, very smart and doesn't come across as "dumb" or "stoned" like you would expect from a lot os rock stars..umm..sexy as hell plus he has an "earthyness" about him...I mean an approachable thing about him, like you can have a few pints and a good banter with him at the pub. I'd like to think that he's a kinda guy that you could go rambling with in an old English city or somewhere historic, taking photos and then off for a few jars!

Honeydrip79 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I think all of this has already been said, but I'll say it again. Besides the obvious, I like Robert because he has a good sense of humor, is intelligent/witty, doesn't take himself too seriously and seems to be relatively humble, even though he has millions of fans and is talented beyond belief. I also appreciate that Robert seems very comfortable in his own skin and has chosen to age naturally, rather than opt for the face altering procedures many rock stars and celebs scramble to do (Steven Tyler anyone?). Robert has also written/co-written a lot of songs that have inspired me in my life. One such song outside of Led Zeppelin is titled "I Believe " from his album "Fate of Nations." If you have never heard it before, I recommend you listen to it. That song has gotten me through many tough times; it is very touching. If I ever get a chance to meet Robert, I will tell him so!

ScarletMacaw Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 IMO there has never been anyone else in the history of popular music who could sing like Plant did in the Zeppelin era...I also like his wit, and the imagery in some of his lyrics, which allow the listener to use his/her imagination and are suggestive of other lands and times... In truth there are some things I don't like about Plant that I won't post here...I think I alluded to them in another discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear! Hear! "I Believe' is on heavy rotation on my playlist - such a beautiful song. As well as his rendition of "Polly Come Home" with Alison Krauss. Urgh. Gives me chills. And I don't want to sound like a broken record, but everything everyone has posted already about Robert, I feel the same way too. P.S: He's a man who is not afraid to tell of his insecurities, which humanizes him even more. That despite all the fame, fortune, accolades, worship, praise etc. etc. he still worries about his performances. Or as he puts it - he's still 'sensitive' to criticism. *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishhead Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I love the guy. Why? It's because of so many moments he and I have shared (that he has no idea about, but I think he may have an inclination).....It could be the Sunday morning coffee while listening to him sing the lyrics to Going to California, or, hearing those beautiful images of Kashmir coming out loud from my truck speakers on a pitch black night......and everything in between.. He and I have spent many times together just as he has with a lot of folks around this forum. He's like an old longtime friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amie1974 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 One thing I like is how he enthusiastically embraces other cultures, music and ways of living, but also still keeps his 'Englishness' (his accent, sense of humour, trying to save the pub in Bath etc). Unlike some stars who become famous overseas and then change quite a bit (Joss Stone and her disappearing Devon accent for example!?)... Someone touched on this above, but I also like his passion and interest in subjects like English/Welsh history, countryside, Tolkien etc and how he used these ideas in his lyrics. I think his unique voice combined with those kinds of lyrics is at times quite a magical thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clw Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I think his interest in all those subjects is very neat,I could see him as a Viking hundreds of years ago too One thing I like is how he enthusiastically embraces other cultures, music and ways of living, but also still keeps his 'Englishness' (his accent, sense of humour, trying to save the pub in Bath etc).

SozoZoso Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 About the "insecurities" he still has about performing, I once read that he does the ironing before he goes onto the stage to calm his nerves!

SozoZoso Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ok so we have him covered in topics such as shopping, ironing, what else??? Can't think but I'd reckon he'd be the perfect househusband.

LivingLovingHeartbreaker Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 especially if he was in the buff! ^Now, that's what i'm talking about. My reasons for liking/loving Robert have been mentioned in the above comments. Just thought I'd add that I love the hand gestures he does while he sings. Does that count?

Charles J. White Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 A great front man, a great singer, and a very good song writer when working with others to act as a counterbalance to his off the deeep end instincts sometimes. Had a shit life with what happened to his son, no father or mother deserves that, and he deserves credit for how he has carried himself in the face of that. His refusal to record with Zeppelin again is his biggest drawback for me from an artistic point of view because I believe on that issue he is a chicken which I admire because it shows he is not the cocky fellow people think he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDog71 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 He has a charm about him. No matter how you might feel about the things he says, you never hate him for them. Well, for me that's how it is. I like the fact that he seems to be the jokester of them. He's very witty. But most of all, I like him for how honest he is. He's never appeared to be a liar, or a phony. He's real. It's something I have always liked about Robert. Oh, and just listen to the vocal performance on any song he's ever been in. Espeically in his Led Zeppelin days. That right there should be enough for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The fact that he seems to be just a regular guy who doesn't flaunt himself off as being somebody overly special . I could say that about all of them really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
