They may be a clone but Lenny Wolf sounds more like Robert Plant than Robert Plant has in the last twenty years. There's your answer to the "how do we reform Led Zeppelin if Percy doesn't want to play anymore?" Close your eyes and you'd never notice the difference.

Question: How old were you in 1976?

Zeppelin were never "mega" in the UK. I know, I was there. The most popular bands at that time were Pink Floyd, T Rex and ABBA who outsold Led Zeppelin big time in England. By 1976 Zeppelin were considered "old farts", the last of their fans congregating for the Knebworth shows. The musical climate had changed so much they never played one concert in the UK for the 1980 Tour, straight to Europe with their collective tail between their legs. In the 80's they were all but forgotten, considered "old fashioned" and "bloated dinosaurs." It's only since the late nineties that they have been re-evaluated and found worthy by the almighty music critics and media.

I'd say that in the UK they were respected and popular, but you have to remember that at that time we had plenty of other bands to like too. Pink Floyd Jethro Tull Rolling Stones Deep Purple Free Queen Hawkwind Wishbone Ash ... to name but a few. You can only buy so many albums and concert tickets on a weeks wage.

Seeing as this link is stuck on the right click of my mouse here's me and the better half in Stockholm, Sweden. One of us is trying to hold in the old beergut. Clue: It's not her.

Meanwhile, on the Van Halen forum: "Jimmy Page? Wanker!" Apples and oranges indeed.

Just buy Van Halen I I'd put that album up as equal to anything Zeppelin ever did, but that's just my opinion.

Which may well be a good thing considering his taste for editing, splicing and turd polishing until the finished item has little resemblance to the actual show it was taken from. I in no way condone the theft of the tapes though, that's just evil.
