  1. Ronnie Wood said in recent book that the rest of Led Zep minus Page asked him to join them don't let the truth get in the way of a good story . Page fancied Steve Winwood , Steve Marriott or Terry Reid on vocals , bass could have been Chris Dreja ,Ian Hunter supposedly was asked to play bass , BJ Wilson on drums , Keith Emerson on keyboards Pre- ZEP during recording Beck's Bolero Page wanted to form a supergroup with him and Jeff Beck on guitars, and The Who's Keith Moon and John Entwistle on drums and bass. Vocalists Steve Winwood and Steve Marriott were also considered for the project

  3. I've been told that in the USA if an act as less than 1 original member in its line-up ,then its no LONGER considered that act ,but a tribute. acts that have played live &/or recorded new material without original members like Thin Lizzy , DR feelgood & The Sugababes would all be considered tributes Some bands have got members that have been solo original members in every line-up of multi line-up groups Ian Paice - Deep Purple , Tony Iommi -Black Sabbath ,Chris Squire -Yes , Ritchire Blackmore -Rainbow , David Coverdale- Whitesnake ,Rober Smith -The Cure ,MARK "E"SMITH -The Fall .Nick Mason -Pink Floyd Mick Fleetwood -Fleetwood Mac ,John Lydon -PIL ,Dave Brock -HAWKWIND ,Angus Young -AC/DC Before you ask AC/DC did a tour without Malcolm Young , John McVie was not in Fleetwood mac for the first 6 months.
  4. Does anyone remember laughter ? This was an April fool 2009 story post by Bjork herself on her own website http://www.spin.com/articles/led-zeppelins-new-singer-bjork Bjork: In a website post this morning( 1 april 2009), the Icelandic singer announced she would step in for Robert Plant as vocalist for Led Zeppelin's world tour. But she has a few demands: The band only play songs from album I and IV, including classics like ??"Good Times Bad Times," "Dazed and Confused," and "Stairway to Heaven." Other more serious contenders mentioned at the time http://www.spin.com/articles/should-led-zeppelin-reunite
  5. They did a sort of reunion with Steve Martin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZAPJbq3ch4
  6. Its the first the original line-up will have played together for 30 years
  7. Have you seen the" five guys walked into a bar" box set ?
  8. Interesting Lydon always slagged off Led Zep publibly ,when he was asked wether hed seen " The song remains the same the same " , he said he fell asleep half way through ,he supposed to have made some sarcastic ramark towards Plant when they met ,the next thing hes formed PIL and is asking Plant for the lyrics to Kashmir But he wore a I hate Pink Floyd t-shirt , now he claims it was a joke
  9. I Dream of Jeannie was fun missed the last series of Dallas (remake) ,wished i'd watched it now A seemed real cool guy whenever he appeared on chat shows stetson sales will hit the roof now
  10. The least zep could have done was had " hey hey what i can do " to led zep 3 cd and add all the remastered boxset bonus tracks added to the remastered coda whisky from a glass should have been on the uk version of walking into clarksdale
  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPGJUKduNrw
  12. The P.I.L reformed their later line-ups and released a new album ,Levine and wabble from the original line-up also released an album Lydon always seems to be ambigous about a new Sex Pistols album , saying its more limiting than recording an P.I.L one. I wonder if the reunion of P.I.L means the end of THE Sex Pistols reunions ?
  13. Is Tight But Loose the best Led Zeppelin information service? http://www.tightbutloose.co.uk/tblweb09/ Dave Lewis' long-running Led Zeppelin fanzine. Includes news on the band and ordering information.
  14. She has n't appeared on tv since Waterloo Road Thu 14 Oct 2010 , as far as I know . She not appeared on stage since Rattle Of A Simple Man at Crewe Lyceum between March 16 -21 2009 ,as far as i now since then nothing, does anyone if she has retired ? http://www.angelfire.com/fang/clairemcglinn/
  15. Fleetwood Mac Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer or Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham ? Stevie Nicks has said that Fleetwood Mac are to otur during 2013 , i presume Lindsey Buckingham will be on guitar . Instead , I would rather see Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer back in the classic line-up (both Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer have seen returns to form recently) Bob Welch R.I.P
  16. Rober Plant sang The Only One on Page outrider solo lp did P&P ever do it live ?
  17. The Dave Clark Five - Bits & Pieces always puts me in mind of " How Many More Times " http://www.youtube.c...tch_video_title
  18. Does anyone think " The Firm " would have bigger had they done "Zep " & " Free &/or Bad Co " numbers during their live gigs ,What Zep tunes could Paul Rodgers handle ? Coverdale/page did Zep & Whitesnake numbers Queen & Paul Rodgers did old Queen & Free & Bad Co ,most of the result were very good Planty seem to run away from Zep numbers until the Now & Zen tour ,doing three numbers ,then more each tour until page & Plant Plant post P&P very rarely does pre - P&P solo stuff apart from " Down to the sea " & " Tall Cool One " Had he not been in Zep , he would still be doing Big Log
  19. I can remember Robert playing lead on one of songs on the 1990 tour, can;t remember the song possibly " Anniversary " ?
  20. They did some new material on the BBC 40 th anniversay night , But the humour was more like the tv series than the film Who could replace graham chapman ,the only one who could really act ?
  21. For years there as been talk of a Faces reunion tour ( & possible new album ) with Rod Stewart since they did a one-off in 1986 & Ronnie appearing live with Rod on various occassions, they've did write some new songs together but the sessions nver surfaced Since either Rod's been too busy on solo stuff or Ronnie Wood's been doing the stones or solo stuff , the rest (minus rod )did some shows with Mick Hucknall on vocals , but the door was still left open for Rod . Ronnie's currently back in The Stones , Rods doing his Christmas album & tour .,but did he say that "he" was releasing an rock album of all new songs next year The Faces have had various compilations out of the last ten years , but have not seen to tour them. Cliff & The Shadows did a 50th anniversary tour like the stones, maybe there's still time for a Faces or even Led Zep reunion .late 2013 onwards
  22. THE current line-up of Thin Lizzy are going to drop the name "Thin Lizzy" and tour and put out an album of new material under a brand new band name,Fans were mixed about them using "Thin Lizzy" since the death of Phil Lynott . Ten Years after reformed and recorded and toured without Alvin Lee , It Bites the same without Francis Dunnery ,The Stranglers the same without Hugh Cornwall etc etc etc The late ex Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore siad they call themselves the lizzies Limehouse Lizzy a thin lizzy tribute act have a frontman who's a ringer for Phil Lynott ,he also sounds like him and plays bass ,They recorded some new songs with ex lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson
  23. Steve Jordan played on Keith Richards solo albums ,co-wrote most of the songs too
