Rumpeller Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 On the NME website they report that Led Zeppelin, U2, Madonna. etc are in talks for a series of World Peace gigs. http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/34616 They have been known to jump the gun, but has anyone else heard about this? My gut feeling is that this is journalistic BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainbrownwrapper Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The world has changed quite a bit since live aid. Participation in this fiasco would be a mistake. IMO... total BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTM Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 World peace ? Don't make me laugh...Good excuse for a big gig though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoso2112 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I highly doubt that a giant concert would bring world peace... Lets be real here. And for Led-Zeppelin and U2 to go on a tour with Modonna? That is an insult towards them IMO. And if Zep goes on tour, its going to be by themselves, they don't need anyone else to help sell out. Same goes for U2. Looks like BS to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I wrote a reply saying no way, but i could figure they could do a small set in late summer just to keep the mojo going. Im sure they were asked. But sources tell me that i haven't heard anything except from this thead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I agree; if Alison Krauss finds someone to replace Robert Plant, he'll go crying to some nice English girl. He'll take a detour from Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledlead Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It would be nice for LZ to have a gig, though I don't believe. I cannot agree with you. Every kind of fighting against wars is very good, even if it loose. It would be great if ppl would take part in mass-meeting, parades, prostest against war. And such a concert can remind you about that. Music is sth beautiful and "no war" too. On the other hand being neutral as far wars leads to wars, neautral ppl agree on wars.

BelfastBoy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 NME says that "World Peace One is in talks with many of the world’s top acts to stage a series of international concerts to bring peace to the world." This was probably the conversation: World Peace One: Would Led Zeppelin be interested in participating? LZ: No. Journalistic BS, as someone else has already suggested. While there may well be a series of (pointless) concerts as described, the acts being mentioned in the story are really just the usual suspects. Now, LZ are going to be thrown in with all such stories too, until they either go out on tour again properly, or officially state that there's not going to be anything more.

Plainbrownwrapper Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Led Zeppelin has global appeal like no other music act in recent history. Participation by Led Zeppelin in an event like this would be devisive for the fan base. Currently there are elements on both sides of the world political dynamic (both in the Middle East and the West) where multiple conflicts are currently active and peace without victory is viewed as someone loosing a war. The current peace movement business model seems to be to scrape together some groups desperate for continued stage relivence in talks about a potential concert and while they are at it talk about a bunch more groups (to create even more media buzz and hype) and then use all of them for some kind of political activity or self promotion or fund raising event. Like a single rock concert is going to bring world peace?? Zeppelin should have Lawyers crawling up someone's ass already for even using Zeppelin's name in conjunction with even talk of such an event.

euro Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 False. Any Zepp reunion won't happen till fall 2008 at the earliest. The rumoured gig is smack in the middle of Krauss/PLant tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 This is false. There won't be a tour for awhile, if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvana Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 There won't be a Tour per se at all...there WILL be a set of shows promoting their new album when it is time...and it won't have anything to do with world peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut feeling is that this is journalistic BS. Been There and Done That.... I just want to 'get a peace' and hear some great band rocking out. Music is the message..... so why don't these fucking rich rock stars buy a radio station or two in the US and start fucking playing music that matters? As a counter-point to this tripe bullshit that corporate rock radio spews out to every car in America. Or are they too fucking cluess abnout the power and influence, for good, or for bad that radio can enact ona Daily Basis !?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve you didnt rain on mine .I am retired navy .have sailed to every God forsaken place you can think of and i agree peace only happens if you are the toughest guy on the block.Honestly i dont care if Zeppelin plays at a Dominoes pizza party in Podunck Arkansas as long as i can get tickets.Hell they can call it a world Peace concert or a nuclear carpet bombing party its all good .To me its about the music .

SIBLY Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'm sure these gigs are being planed and that they've asked Led Zep to be involved. What a great way to get some initial publicity but it's a far cry from LZ actually saying yes. I doubt they will either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertkincaid96 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The Rolling Stone had a piece about it. Pay close attention to the last 6 words. Link U2, Madonna and Led Zeppelin are among the artists tapped to participate in a series of international concerts by World Peace One, a not-for-profit world peace group. The shows would begin May 17th, though no acts have been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
