granmastaj.zeppelin Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Anyone else feel that the guys have been a little silent. If their project is canceled, then why haven't Jonesy, Page, or Jason said anything. Have they just given up completely or is a project brewing in the mist?

snapper Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Does anyone really think that Page or Jones couldn't or wouldn't do a project together without Plant? Jones himself said that he really just wanted to play with Jimmy whether or not Plant was involved. There is no reason why they shoudn't be able to put something together that they'd be into with or without Plant, or even Jason Bonham for that matter. All we've heard is that Steven Tyler and Myles Kenneny didn't work out...so they gave up. I personally, don't believe that bullshit for a second. Somethings brewing.

glicine Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I don't understand why people keeps calling Mensch's words "bullshit". He is the manager of Jimmy Page, so til Jimmy/Jonesy/Jason opens their mouth, his words would be the most official thing we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Only they have the truth. I personally don't think they'd just completely give up. It's in their blood to be musically involved and creative. Now how they go about doing it is another thing. I'm sure we'll eventually hear something from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMcLov1n Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Facing the mighty ghost of Led Zeppelin again must be a hard thing to do in your sixties. I'm ecstatic for what they did in 2007, and I expect nothing more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page_Maniac Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Rumor has it that the band is actively rehearsing for my upcoming Birthday Bash. If you have not gotten your invitation yet, then I am afraid you are out of luck, unless you post on this forum that Page_Maniac is an insightful genius who really rocks. Then I might send you one the dozen or so remaining invitations. The location is still secret. Good luck and if you believe this then yes, you have had one too many beers.

He is the manager of Jimmy Page, so til Jimmy/Jonesy/Jason opens their mouth, his words would be the most official thing we can get. It's beyond me too. Apparently, people believe Jimmy entrusts his career to a lying, mis-informed nobody who should be fired for not finding Jimmy the right singer.

BIGDAN Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Wasn't that Terry Reid who suggested Robert Plant? And then Jimmy and Peter Grant went to see him perform?

pop Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Actually I don't think it would be too much to expect his manager to find him a singer. I think there's one out there and if I had the resources (ie money enough to dedicate myself to it) I could do it myself. The tough thing would be to find someone who was not just a howling rocker but someone sublime and who could write-and not just write but write Page, Jones, Bonham quality. The writing in the end wouldn't matter as much because there are brilliant writers out there who would line up for the chance to work with this group. So in the end all we need is a singer who has range, can rock and also has a mysterious quality 'x' to their singing like Jimmy has to his playing. Robert Hunter (Jerry Garcia's lyricist has written songs for many other singers for example) and he could write some brilliant stuff if approached-this is just one example (a good one though)....

Aquamarine Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Actually I don't think it would be too much to expect his manager to find him a singer. But that's not what managers do. They're the business guys. (Certainly we can't judge everyone by Peter Grant, he was one of a kind.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
