nirvana Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Led Zeppelin could have a "new" Robert...as in "Smith" ... How freakin' cool would that be if Jimmy hooked up with Robert Smith from the Cure! Awesome voice, incredible presence, a bit of a Goth, magical - he's got it all! And Robert Plant adores him! Let's hear it for Led Zeppelin's new Robert!!

LadyRaven Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Jimmy could always try and get Terry Reid. He wanted him for Zep before he knew of Rob. This time he could have his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal light Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hate to be a kill joy but I for one say as I have before no Robert no Led Zeppelin sorry. Agreed; it would simply be another band in need of a new name. Having seen Led Zeppelin many times, I guess I've learned to define Led Zeppelin by the basic four members.

nirvana Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Robert and Jimmy did Cure songs on their '98 Tour. Plant considers Smith as one of his fav singers and someone that influenced his music in the '80s...R. Smith is way cooler than Ian Astbury. Although I have no problem with the Cult either - great band, they rock well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen Led Zeppelin many times, I guess I've learned to define Led Zeppelin by the basic four members. I agree. But, considering Plant will not continue with Zeppelin, Jimmy needs a serious replacement singer. Jimmy can play Cure songs and Smith can sing Zeppelin songs - I would pay big bucks to see that combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nirvana Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 After Led Zeppelin had quit. After Zep laid down their arms in 1980, one Band - only one- took up the battle, and that was U2. bono said - "F- It...we're taking over." And they did.

Agreed. (note: I've been a serious Zep fan since 1974, I know their music inside and out) But, we all must face it - Plant is done with Zeppelin and Jimmy is sitting around wondering what to do next. Suggesting other great singers is the next step to recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nirvana Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Jimmy NEEDS another singer!! Someone who can play his advocate. Remember Paul Rodgers? Bad choice and Jimmy regretted it.

Do you want it to become like Lynyrd Skynyrd, where there isn't any more original members? The new Zeppelin, with Joe-Shit-the-Ragman on lead vocals...Jimmy Witherspoon on bass and Jack Smack the Cadillac on drums....Do you want them (LZ) to start enlisting, say, members of 'tribute' bands, which seems to be the trend with the aging...(Judas Priest, Journey)? C'mon, man. Led Zeppelin, the band, passed with Bonzo. I love them. They will always be my favorite band of all time...but like us, they are human and will die. Their music will live forever....as some one aptly stated earlier in the forum, do you want to see 'what was' become the joke the Stones have become or the travesty of Van Halen/ thepolice/the 20th Century Doors/etc/etc/etc....Let's enjoy what the original members have given us. Have you ever read the book "Pet Cemetary" by Stephen King? We, as humans, dont want to let go. If you try to make the dead live, well, read the book. Hint: bad things happen... Do you want (for God's sake, NOOOOO!!!!!!!) Steven Tyler to be the 'official' Led Zeppelin singer??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cav Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Just a question i thought i would throw out there and see what the replys are like. We all talk about "other" singers to fill Roberts place, and i for one would not want that. That said though i often wonder what would have happened if Robert had called it a day after the accident, or the death of his son do you think that the remaining members would have shut it down to? Or maybe, just maybe Jimmy would have transformed the band once again as he did with the Yardbirds. This is just food for thought because at some point iam sure it was discussed as a problem that could arise. So with that in mind i truesly think that touring with the other members is more of a power thing then anything. I feel for Page cause this whole Zep thing is "HIS" brainchild and to see it fall apart must have killed him. To close, if Robert won't do it then the band should tour on there own with no singer just music. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
