Evster2012 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Does anybody else think that he should just call a presser and give us the truth or is it possible that he really doesn't know what's going to happen.....still? Well that's just the thing. He hasn't ruled out the odd one-off down the road. Just no reunion tour. That's what I get from it. I don't know. I haven't any crystal ball, but when you sift through the interviews, that's pretty much what you end up with: If things align just right, he may jump onstage with the band again for a night or two. That could happen. But at this point, he has no interest in making a new Led Zeppelin album or doing a Led Zeppelin tour. Those most likely will not happen. Not anytime soon, and probably never.

Now and Zen Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm sorry I rained on your parade...there's no reason to be defensive and rude. Everyone on this forum is entitled to their opinion, including me, same as you...Have you heard me bashing people for believing a tour could happen? I think not! I don't get all hostile and tell them that their opinions mean diddly (as you put it). Have you so disrespectfully chastised other people for voicing the same opinion? I'm not the only person to think that a tour is highly unlikely. Of course no one knows for sure if they will ever tour again...they might...and that would be great, but my opinion is, that it would never be a full blown tour...and your right, neither of us knows what the future holds. I never told you not to lose hope or anyone else for that matter. Respect my opinion just as I respect yours. Man. How do you interpret that as being rude? I was just saying Im am hoping and believe there will be a tour. While on the subject my local channel is giving away Plant/Krauss tickets all next week. One lucky person gets front row. I dont know if Ill pay to see them though. Saw Zeppelin in their prime. Will pay anything to see Zeppelin again, but I saw Plant and Page on their own. I just dont know if I can get into this type of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I alway's said that he would/might do the odd show with the boy's but no tour. I think that everybody should just accept his "you never know what might happen down the road" quote and deal with it. I'm glad that Zeppelin members are continuing to make music and not tending their gardens in a vegetative state. All surviving members are healthy, happy and active(inside and outside of music). WHen the time is right(God willing), we'll see the boy's on stage again for a night or two and we'll enjoy it immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm going to guess you might in part, at least, be referring to my post. I've only included the "old people's music" quote of mine. I know I didn't mention the "genre" bluegrass as a general reference (as old people's music) but which of the songs that Robert and Alison are doing are NOT written by old people or dead ones? The youngest I KNOW of are Tom Waits (age 58), and Robert (59)and Jimmy Page's(64), Please Read The Letter. Are there younger songwriters that contributed to the Raising Sand album? Any writers younger than 58? Isn't old 39 and over or at least 50 and older? Or is that still youthful? Now I'm puzzled. "In part" yes. Again, my point was that Zeppelin recorded music written by "old people or dead ones". Robert Johnson wrote Terraplane Blues and Travelling Riverside Blues in the 1920s. What's so puzzling? Besides, Robert and Jimmy, by your estimation, are in fact "old". So why should they be shaking their dicks around now? Oh, and Robert and Jimmy wrote Please Read the Letter over 10 years ago, so no need posting their current ages for emphasis. I know it looks better, but let's try to keep it real.

Otto Masson Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Robert will do what he wants to do. But I'm not sure the occasional concert is a good idea. The way this works it's just a lot of work for the other members of the band to rehearse and make sure they get it right. A short tour with a realistic schedule seems preferable to that stop-start, stop-start pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A short tour with a realistic schedule seems preferable to that stop-start, stop-start pattern. Otto, I don't think that Robert was serious about the occasional concert. I just think it was his way of saying, yes I did it this time, for the right reason, and that's it. It's clear how much he loved and respected Ahmet and that's why he did the O2 concert, to pay homage to him...and it was also a personal request from Ahmet's widow. I don't see his answer as a possibility, rather I see it as a gentle way of saying no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suz Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 You know If Robert Plant would just take one year and do a LZ album and go on tour, then he wouldn't have to put up with this crap all the time. Just do an album and a tour, and people would stop harassing him all the time. Then after that they could do one offs here and there, then he could spend the rest of his time doing whatever he wants without being bothered by it. No, they would harass him more, I think.

Crowley Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Fuck Robert Plant. Im sick of his bullshit. Cant get a definite answer from him, likes to play games with peoples minds. If no Zep, say so, end all speculation and we all move on. Always has to control and dictate everything with Zep. Jimmy is said to have compiled a ton of new music and says he has riffs that compare to any Zep stuff. Its that good he says. Jimmy just wants the right vehicle and it looks like no Plant. Cant wait to hear what Jimmy has to offer, with or without Plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yes I'd love to hear Jimmy's stuff especially played with John Paul Jones and Bonham....just get the right singer. His singers have all been cheesy crooners so far so I'm not optimistic at this point. Here's a strange idea; maybe a female singer-off the top of my head I'd suggest Joan Osborne...

Otto Masson Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Aside from Robert, and hence Led Zeppelin, I think Chris Cornell would be a great singer to work with Jimmy, Jonesy and Jason. It would be an interesting musical encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plant bashing on this forum is pathetic. I'm with you sister. All these wild and woolly theories from people (who have been into the band for five minutes), wouldn't know shit from clay. These same people would deny Robert's basic human right of doing what is right for him. He has no obligation to anyone, he has paid his dues ten times over. While I would love to see him play again with the 3 J's, in a heartbeat, whatever he decides to do is okay with me. Que Sera Que Sera. Chris Cornell good vocalist he is, should stick to Cold Play. I would much rather see and hear a two hour show consisting of instrumentals than them performing with some wannabe Robert Plant. There is only one.

SIBLY Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I hope no one else has said this but I haven't got the stamina to read the whole thread. Led Zep are a band that thrived on live momentum. They also rehearse tirelessly so to just do it for the odd one of show would be perverse. I think if they do any more shows it'll be a tour of sorts but not a mega year long world tour.

pop Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Sammy Hagar wasn't even as good as Roth.......good enough to sing The Rain Song?.........can't see it...... Chris Cornell......I don't think any post grunge type singers would be appropriate to sing Zeppelin....they are all the same for one thing and that one thing is the wrong thing for Zeppelin songs...you might as well suggest Tony Bennet-just because someone is a good singer doesn't mean they would be appropriate for Zeppelin material.......

Crowley Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Should use the singer from Jason Bonhams old band. Charles West is his name. He sang on the album "When You See The Sun". Very underrated album, I thought it was great, worth checking out if you dont already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
