For this reason and this reason alone, I can understand why Zeppelin may have reservations about touring without having some new vital material. We hope as fan's that they do come up with something and that they continue to put out material. But I've got to admit that the trend is a disturbing one.

myledzep Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) That sucks, I used like Geoerge Will. It's just his opinion....one of many differing ones. Millions of people who tried to get tickets to O2, those who were most fortunate to attend, those of us who buy their music, cds, dvds surely disagree!

FireOpal Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Have you seen George Will?! He's a dork with a bad haircut and a bow tie. He was probably beaten savagely by bullies in high school -- meaning he's working out some issues. He should stick to writing about politics; commenting on music and/or pop culture is not his forte.

MrZoSo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Sent him this... Hello George, Led Zeppelin cater to no one. This was a tribute concert in respect to passing of bands mentor. Before you step onto your soapbox at the very least pick a subject you are familiar with. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably beaten savagely by bullies in high school -- meaning he's working out some issues. With statements like his, I'd be surprised if he didn't get beaten up again. George Will is part of the same subculture as Karl Rove. They think they somehow have a bead on what the mainstream is but they are actually the epitome of counter-hip.

Flipkid Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 George Will is a Neo-Con asshole. Pay no attention whatsoever. I'm a Yank that's been living with him for the past 15 years; believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Thank God it wasn't Tony Kornheiser or Micheal Wilbon. I stop listening to Howard Stern because of his excessive rants on Zeppelin (and other things) but i cant lose my PTI. Even though Tony said Zeppelin was a bunch of screaming monkeys, but he's a dope anyway. Edited January 13, 2008 by Pb Derigable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 George Will (LZ closet fan?) was probably mad that LZ refused him a press pass. I can see it now--he was steamed as he clipped on his bow tie and slipped on his blousers over his rubbers and slacks. By the time he had rode his three wheeled bicycle (with the grated rack on the handlebars) all the way to the office he was breathing fire. Then he wrote his 'opinion piece'. That evening, thinking of what he had penned, he was both proud and full of self-loathing. As he sat down to eat the peanut butter and jelly sandwich his mom had made for his dinner he broke out in tears. Whether they were tears for missing the show or for what he had written is a mystery? But at least him mom was there to comfort him by putting his head to her shoulder until he cried himself to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidlessEye Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 George Will is ten pounds of smug, pseudo-intellectual neo-kahn bullshit crammed into a stinky five-pound bag. And he's a baseball fanatic - proof positive (not that any more is necessary) that he's a boring, tasteless old fart. Piss on 'im from a great height.

Tea41 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Another brain-damaged moron who just doesn't get who they're dealing with, this is Zeppelin (actually 3/4 LZ), not some desperate-for-cash has-been loser band that never really was that good. They are the exception, the best. I always get a laugh out of all the pathetic weak arguments as to why Zep "sucked" or shouldn't play again. Some people are just too stupid and tone-deaf to see the greatness of LZ, which is their problem, not ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So the guy's a moron. I fail to see what his political leanings have to do with thinking Zeppelin are a geezer novelty act or whatever he said. To use his assinine statement as an excuse for conservative bashing is ill-placed IMO. Just sayin. Hell, Bill O'Reilly is a huge Doors fan.
