lajoie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I just read 2 articles online and I am sure there will be more before the day is out ,so I won`t copy and paste .Todd Rundgren is slaming Robert Plant saying the only reason he would do more shows with Led Zeppelin is out of greed. I find this well sick.Why ? Rungren using smear hype is basicly limiting & dictating how Robert Plant can & can not create as an artist.Led Zeppelins band members could have been reformed along time ago if greed was thier exclusive intent.Robert Plant went into the Raising Sand project on an experimental basis--they all were taking it one step at a time ,they even originally said that they weren`t even sure if they were going to tour. The truth of the matter is Led Zeppelins musical past was pointing towards the future ,which is now (they all are capable of creating fresh as well).That and the Honouring of Ahmet Ertegun At The 02 arena on Dec.10.07 are very relevent .Not to mention the fact that the proceeds of that went to fund the oppertunity for countless youth to learn and florish their presious musical gifts.Music itself is an all too important universal aspect of humanity.The music industry is facing much death.It is in great need of a Revival,particularly Rock-n-Roll.It is a Fact that Roberts inlvolvement with Raising Sand has helped sales for indie lable Rounder Records which Alison Krauss has been on all these years. It also gave Country Music as a whole a huge boost.These are facts. Alison Krauss has been a quality musician since her youth I appreciate that.She has had her own following,which she did tour with her own original band US this past summer.She herself has indeed gotten more notoriety a result of Raising Sand, Krauss is also capable of resumeing her musical career with out Robert Plant ,which Its been stated on this forum is only a professional relationship.If Robert Plant & LZ bandmates should reform Led Zeppelin or have any personal obligation in any other area of his life that he wishes to attend to it really is wrong for anyone to imply he is not entitled to make such personal choices creative or otherwise.I find it distrubing that someone on that professional level in the music industry would make such an attempt to do so much harm to a man who is constructively developing only positively for the greater good and welfare of all. If this seems as hero worship of Robert Plant at least it`s based on sound and solid ground.Thank you Robert Plant for being You,All my love! And yes for the very large scope of things I think a reforming of Led Zeppelin is urgently needed for RocK as well as other various global benefits.

I've had a bone to pick with Todd ever since he said he saw the "new Queen" and "didn't miss Freddie at all." What a dweeb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabal200 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I just read 2 articles online and I am sure there will be more before the day is out ,so I won`t copy and paste .Todd Rundgren is slaming Robert Plant saying the only reason he would do more shows with Led Zeppelin is out of greed. I'm sorry is this the same Todd Rundgren who toured with a group called "The New Cars" in an effort to capitalize on a band's legacy that conveniently didn't have the original drummer or lead singer Ric Ocasek??? Although I have not read the article(s) referenced, I'll pass on giving him any credence when it comes to bashing someone for "greed" as was described. Hello, its you Todd? Sorry... not interested... go bang on your drum more and keep your Zeppelin-related comments to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knebby Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It's a pity that his "Love Is The Answer" is one of my sweetest memories of Knebworth. That and the cat suit. There were DEFINITELY potatoes down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 News Flash: nobody gives a shit about what Todd Rundgren thinks. He's still pissed cause his woman dumped him for Jimmy Page age's ago. What was the quote? "don't do it, he's the devil", from Bebe Buell's autobiography. Get over it, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knebby Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 And 'cos Robert's got a bigger and better bulge than his ... Sorry but even Robert can't claim that. Todd is legendary in that area. Where IS that Knebworth catsuit pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lajoie Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sorry but even Robert can't claim that. Todd is legendary in that area. Where IS that Knebworth catsuit pic? Things aren`t always as they look , at least on the outside. With out a doubt I am sure naturally Robert can claim all those other attributes that make a truely exceptionally exquisite & quintessencal Lover !

Chicago Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Until any Todd Rundgren comments are posted how can you comment upon them. What is this? the Todd Rundgren lynch mob?
