NeverOffside Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/32664 Ace xx They seem to be putting 2 and 2 together from the Ian Astbury story about the support act, but it's pretty obvious now I guess. Zep are neither denying or confirming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarksdale Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/32664 Ace xx Someone over on The Cult message board has just pointed out though that the band will an 'L' and a 'Z' in it could be Limp Bizkit...!! I'm not getting my hopes up just yet, though I will always find it a bit unbelievable if Led Zep DON'T tour after the O2, after all that hard work... Also, knowing how reluctant the band are to release anything they consider to be below par, why wouldn't they want to play more than one show? Unless, of course, they are not bothered whether or not the O2 gig ever comes out on DVD or CD... But surely... The money they could make for charity, apart from anything else!!! Sorry, I'm going off topic here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOffside Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I saw them in 1977 by the way (on memorial day in landover MD). Man, that must be a treasured memory. I'm envious. I've got a ticket for this gig, but I know it won't be anywhere near the same energy as back in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Do you honestly believe a "support act" would be confirmed before the venues? I honestly can't decide whose the most pathetic: Ian Astbury saying something so stupid to get his name in the press or the NME for publishing it. Oh, don't let me leave out all the morons starting one thread after another concerning this same ridiculous topic. Hey Guys, the most long-awaited reunion tour in rock (with the exception of The Beatles) is now confirmed because Ian Astbury said so during a club gig in Cincinnatti. Get a clue.

I have to agree about the multiple threads thing. I've seen at least three threads at a glance. Its definitely not admin's fault. I wonder if Ian Astbury will be ditched for being a blabbermouth?

wabana Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ian Astbury should be up against a firing squad for 'crimes against music', Lord help us if The Cult are opening for Zeppelin.

There are many factors suggesting there may be a tour, not least of which is their refusal to deny it. And who knows what a rock singer is gonna blurt out, they're hardly the most level headed chaps are they. Just because a few people start a thread on the same subject you call them morons?

Matter of fact, I've already seen Dave Ghoul of Nirvana, the parasite of Zep message boards, mentioned in another thread. God help this new forum.

Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Personally I LOVE the Cult, theyre an amazing band and so the prospect of a Led Zeppelin tour with the Cult supporting is orgasmic for me. This could also fit in nicely with the story about them playing Glastonbury although I'd hate it if their only UK gig was at Glastonbury. We've heard it all before though and Robert has pulled out of reunions at the last minute before so what says he won't again? He's supposed to be touring with Krauss anyway so theres a clash but a LZ tour would be 1000000000000000000000 times better. Maybe Ian was just joking and if they were picked for a Zeppelin tour theyd probably have to sign the official secrets act. Oh and... If there is a tour TICKET ALLOCATION BETTER NOT BE BY F***IN BALLOT!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I never said I believed there was a tour. But it makes a lot of sense commercially, given the demand for tickets. Which is why I think there are rumours propagating.

SteveAJones Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 There are many factors suggesting there may be a tour, not least of which is their refusal to deny it. First, they're not obliged to confirm or deny press speculation. Second, did they ever signal their tour intentions thru lackeys, intermediaries or the New Musical Express? Hint: No. In the unlikely but yes, technically possible, event they should decide to tour you can bet it will be announced through a fully sanctioned press release, if not also a press conference. Never Offside? There's a flag thrown on this last play, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never Offside? There's a flag thrown on this last play, my friend. Flag thrown? I'm from the UK mate, less of the NFL references, they mean nothing to me. (Except I know they throw flags. ALL I am saying is that it's conceivable there could be a tour. It's therefore understandable that people will create tour threads on a Led Zeppelin forum. There's no need to act like the forum police and start slating people. We now all know you do not thing there will be a tour. You've made your point.

beenalong time Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 How about this rumour then. Led zeppelin AND Pink Floyd to hedline at Glastonbury and then a 3 week run at Earls Court. Yes Both bands who are true masters of their art. Its almost as crazy as The Cult rumour, and Nick Mason will be playing with The Zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarksdale Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 My 'quote' button isn't working - anyone else having that problem? I personally don't see why a support act couldn't know of an upcoming tour before any of us mere mortals have heard of any venues being booked. That's not to say there's any truth in this rumour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOd Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I just hope they tour. I didnt' get tickets in the ballot. I was 13 when Bonzo died and three months away from getting into Led Zeppelin. I saw Robert and Jimmy when they toured, but I would be very disappointed not to have the opportunity to see them next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
