BledZabbath Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 14 hours ago, Balthazor said: And the Beatles disbanded 48 years ago, so what? I don't honestly remember, but I'd wager that their 50th was treated as a big deal. If Jimmy believes his band was among the greatest bands of all time, then it should have had a 50th anniversary fit for a greatest band of all time. A book and a new t-shirt design seems more like an anniversary fit for Jethro Tull. Where can I get this book and T-Shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stones celebrated with an extensive product line and touring which continues to this day. Conversely, one could almost count on one hand the number of commercial grade live recordings Led Zeppelin commissioned, the surviving members don't have a cohesive management team and two of three seem totally disinterested if not reluctant to celebrate the occasion. So anything beyond a photo book and t-shirts becomes problematic. Exactly R😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Steve seems to have nailed the reasons why it hasn't gone the way people hoped it would. Sounds plausible to me. Anniversaries don't mean anything to me, so I've not been disappointed, but I can see why others might be.

z1inspector Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Idk.....i always enjoy what other famos.people have to say about Zep, maybe most of you have heard every1s opinion, but to me its fresh & new info thats not as easy to find.

If these guys want Zeppelin to be considered in the same league as the Beatles or the Stones they should really show more interest in these sorts of things, and do something to keep their band in the public eye as much as possible. I mean, after one silly Hollywood biopic Queen seems to be regarded as the greatest thing since sliced bread. It just seems like if Jimmy wants Zeppelin's legacy to be what it should, doing nothing is not going to help matters much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lets his music do the talking. He has always shied away from being commercial. (that is not to say he does not makes occasional exceptions). I much prefer it this way.

JTM Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 In the big scheme of things does it really matter, I don't think it does, I'm too old to care anyway. I don't expect there is going to anything that'll wow me, it'll just be an "is that it" just like the companion discs. The only thing that will remotely excite me is the core albums remixed into 5.1, even ITTOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact they play what is considered to be 'heavy metal' puts them out of that 'universal appeal' group of bands like The Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin & Pink Floyd.
