Steve The Lemon Sauer Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Sometimes it's easy to confuse the Cure and the Cult because their band names are made up of words with four letters, the first two of which are C and U.

nirvana Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Led Zeppelin To Tour In 2008 -- With The Cult? Cult singer announces that band is opening tour for Zeppelin -- during club show in Cincinnati! -- reps for both bands offer no comment. It's the "CULT" - not the Cure! Don't count on this !

RainSongWoman Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Led Zeppelin are to tour in 2008 - with THE CULT as their opening act. Cult frontman Ian Astbury, let the news slip during a concert in Cincinnati, Ohio on Saturday (17Nov07). The rocker told fans, "We'll be back next year because we're opening for a band you may have heard of... The name starts with an 'L' and has a 'Z' in it." Astbury confirmed he was talking about the recently reunited rock supergroup by nodding when a fan shouted, "Led Zeppelin?" The Stairway To Heaven group's upcoming Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert performance in London (10Dec07) was slated as a one-off reunion, with frontman Robert Plant insisting a tour wasn't part of the plan. But guitarist Jimmy Page recently gave fans a little hope when he suggested the reunion effort would be a waste if was just for one show. He said, "It's a bit silly (not to tour) because there is such massive demand. It's a bit selfish to do just one show. If that's it, we probably shouldn't have taken the genie out of the bottle." Billboard.com reports that a number of U.S. venues have already been approached about staging Led Zeppelin/The Cult summer dates next year (08). If the shows take place, it won't be the first time Astbury has performed with rock royalty - he fronted the reformed The Doors, Riders on The Storm, until earlier this year (07), when he quit to concentrate on The Cult projects.

Chris Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The cure and Zeppelin all in one show? Interesting to say the least...but it is actually a band called "The Cult". Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oziumrules Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I dont care if John Tesh opens for Zep, Im following them to as many shows as I can.

Dunc Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Apart from festivals and special events like this year - NOBODY ever opens for Zeppelin, since it's only ever Zeppelin on the billing. Astbury - you're an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Lemon Sauer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 You know what, Ian Astbury is now officially just as bad as all those two-bit bar bands posting their music videos on You Tube with titles like "Led Zeppelin Reunion Rehearsals" in the hopes that it will generate additional viewership. Ian, the jury finds you guilty of onstage spamming. Wow, that's a pretty powerful dismissal. I like it! I do think the guys in Led Zeppelin are open to the possibility of a tour in 2008, but I don't think they have decided for themselves whether it will happen. There are still a lot of factors that would play into that decision. Most importantly, they have to identify with a genuine reason to do more collaboration. Once they decide what that reason is -- raising money for a charity, doing the band some justice, packing houses, proving to themselves and their critics that they can do it, doing it for the fans -- then they can truly pursue it. Second-most importantly, they have to be able to commit themselves to the challenge of being in the most powerful rock 'n' roll band of all time while they're respecting each other's freedom to do other projects.

Well, the thread starter who referred to The Cult as The Cure then proceeded to bring up the completely unrelated topic of John Trower. I'm thinking thread discipline is not his bag, baby.

I've always enjoyed your work. With that said, I trust you agree the statement made by Ian Astbury is absurd, and deliberately so (his 15 minutes of fame up yet?).

Like I just said in my last post to FBO, , all the grovelling in the world didn't get Davey G any further than still playing for Foo. So Ian, put that in your pipe and smoke it! I will make sure I bring the question up though over tea and crumpets next time the lads pay me a visit to listen to the last batch of SAJ archive transfers.

I made a suggestion once about what Dave Ghoul could do on December 10th but I'll keep it clean here seeing as this is the "official" forum. You know, I'm almost convinced John Paul Jones wanders around his house murmuring to himself "what the hell did I do that project for, I've had to change my number ten times since then". Jonsey, man stick with the bluegrass festivals. The collaboration with Mutual Appreciation Society was astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
