led zep maniack Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Robert Plant a basketball fan NO WAY he's there in new york for some kind of business this smells fishy. Something is going on with him and the garden maybe future concert dates. MY friend who was at the game said he looked very disintrested in the game. Also he dident rule out not playing with the band again. SOMETHINGS GOING DOWN. Quote
nirvana Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Robert Plant a basketball fan NO WAY he's there in new york for some kind of business this smells fishy. Something is going on with him and the garden maybe future concert dates. MY friend who was at the game said he looked very disintrested in the game. Also he dident rule out not playing with the band again. SOMETHINGS GOING DOWN. Let's not get crazy here...it was what is was, just a night out. I'm sure he attends tons of events that he could care less about. When him and Jimmy played Chicago in '98 they went to the Bulls game the night before and were embaressed by bringing Dennis Rodman (drunk, high) on stage during their concert the next night. Quote
kdh Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 It looked like the chick interviewing him wanted to drop down and give him a hummer Quote
led zep maniack Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Her name is jill martin she worked in miami as a sports anchor not long ago she's a real sports and zep nut. She mentioned in interviews that she was a hugh zep fan. Quote
percy07 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 its on youtube put in search area (robert plant msg) Quote
mstork Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I said it last summer (and I was right) and I'll say it again: When there's nothing going on, Robert leaves no doubt and knocks the "Will Zep be playing?" question out of the park. He didn't do it then and he didn't do it here either. I like the chances of Zep doing something again. I don't think they're done yet. Quote
SuperDave Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Here's an excerpt from today's New York Times in the sports section regarding Robert Plant's appearance at The Garden last night. Most of the article is about the Knicks/Sixers game, so I'm just posting the part about Robert. Seems that the writer of the article is more enthusiatic about Robert Plant than the Knicks. No surprise there, even though they won. New York Times Saturday, January 26 by Mike Ogle At the Knicks’ final home game until Feb. 4, Led Zeppelin’s “Rock And Roll” played over the Garden speakers as Robert Plant sat courtside, receiving as rousing an ovation as the basketball team ever did. The Knicks, now experiencing good vibes for the first time in a while, can borrow Plant’s lyrics as they travel the difficult road: “It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled.” The Knicks were singing again.

JoeZep Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Great find Wolf, sure sounds as if something is in the works Quote
eternal light Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Great find Wolf, sure sounds as if something is in the works There will probably be another basketball game. Quote
Aquamarine Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks a lot for the link, great to see Robert getting such a great reception! Afraid I think folks are reading WAAAAAY too much into both his appearance and his comments, though. Sure, it wasn't a no--it wasn't a yes, either. Which, taken together, means he said precisely nothing. Possibly because he didn't want to make an announcement on behalf of the band, in a casual interview like this, possibly because there is so far nothing to say, who knows? Quote
eskimoblueday Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 He's so awesome, God bless 'im. Thanks, nine, for posting the YouTube link. Thanks to the folks who posted photos. And thanks again Wolfman for giving us the head's up on this. Quote

I completely agree with you, Aqua. He didn't say yes, he didn't say no. He didn't say anything. I really don't get how poeple read between the lines when there's nothing there. Quote
ledzepmanic Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 thanks for the link to the interview...what i found interesting is when the interviewer stated "we would like you to get right here" meaning msg and you hear robert "yeah"...well at least he didn't say no...and robert you are not creaky okay is it me or did the interviewer look like deer in the highlights when he mentioned kasmir...she looked like she didn't know the song Quote
ledzepmanic Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 maybe robert's trying to score some super bowl tickets..lol Quote
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Hey thanks for the links, that was too cool. I wonder who was sitting on each side of Robert; you can see him say something, or at least acknowledge, the person to his right at the beginning of the clip. And am I imagining things, or does he seem to come alive and "sparkle" more when being interviewed by an attractive young lady? Quote
Wolfman Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 I completely agree with you, Aqua. He didn't say yes, he didn't say no. He didn't say anything. I really don't get how poeple read between the lines when there's nothing there. Because most of them weren't as lucky as us (the reunion) so there's always hope...I do take not saying anything as hope over what Robert used to say (no)...again, who knows whats around the corner Quote

Oh, well, let people hear what they want....we all can dream, and some dreams do come true, right? Quote
ninelives Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Because most of them weren't as lucky as us (the reunion) so there's always hope...I do take not saying anything as hope over what Robert used to say (no)...again, who knows whats around the corner That could very well be for some people. I wasn't one of the lucky ones at the 02 but I didn't think there was anything "hidden" in what Robert said in that interview. What I heard was someone very much looking forward to his upcoming tour with Alison Quote
mos6507 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Robert has been responsible for shooting down reunion rumors for so long that for him to repeatedly leave the door open when asked about it is a definite sign of encouragement. Quote
Aquamarine Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Because most of them weren't as lucky as us (the reunion) so there's always hope...I do take not saying anything as hope over what Robert used to say (no)...again, who knows whats around the corner I understand what you're saying here, Wolfman, and I agree that there's as much reason to hope as not to, based on what Robert said. I guess I always think in terms of realism so as not to be disappointed. And I really didn't hear anything in what he said one way or the other, and even that doesn't mean much, given that he did hint at the reunion in the past as well as denying it. So who knows! I hope whatever he does in the future will make him and us happy, and I'm sure it will (most of us!). Quote
zep4ever Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks for the YouTube clip - very cool. I'm an NBA fan and I'm embarrassed for Robert that he had the misfortune to those two crappy teams LOL Like everyone said previously, he gave his expected ambiguous answers to the reunion tour question but still better than a flat out No Way. Quote
plantonic Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks all, for the pointers to this. Lucky lady interviewer! I imagine, in the aftermath of the O2, and amidst all the pressure/ speculation about further LZ gigs, it must be hard to keep focus on anything else much. However from what I've seen of Robert in this and other recent interviews, I think it's obvious it's the Plant/Krauss project where his heart and head's at right now. He seems so passionate and happy about this collaboration, I'm happy for him. Beyond this, who knows? Looking forward to catching Mr. P and Ms. K in Manchester and Wembley, and keeping my fingers crossed! Quote
steve51 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Very typical Plant interview, seems like there is always something going on more important to him then LZ. Edited January 27, 2008 by steve51 Quote
