beatbo Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I dunno. I think Joe Perry is quite a fine guitarist, and does resemble Jimmy at times but, his style is a little different. Nothing wrong with that. Lots of bootlegs have Robert sounding like Elvis for a moment. Maybe in Roberts world, groups who borrow from Zep is ripping them off or aping them but sounding like Elvis is a homage. Bit of a double standard. And taking a pop song and dressing it up? Not a great place to be coming from? Ahem,...Tall Cool One. If that isn't pure pop schlock dressed up I don't know what is. I would rather listen to Bon Jovi's Dead or Alive rather than Tall Cool One anyday of the week. ahhhh, robert isn't saying anything false. it's true, joe doesn't hide his admiration, when this came out, aerosmith were recording and had been recording top 40 songs written by others. joe perry friggin' smokes in my opinion, and i've seen him ripped to the gills and just out of the gym. tall cool one? at least it has jimmy page on it (and bonzo).....

Aquamarine Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Tall Cool One sounds more like a rockabilly pastiche than pop schlock to me. (I like it, anyway!) Btw, my comment earlier regarding the date of this interview (and the water under the bridge) had in mind, apart from the O2, the tone of Robert's comments about Jason Bonham--who, undoubtedly, isn't Bonzo, but his and Robert's relationship has improved a whole lot since then.

jabe Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 IMHO, Robert's statement effectively ends any possibility for a Led Zeppelin reunion. This may actually help insofar as potential dvd releases which have been considered. Post O2,was the possibility highly likely or still quite remote that the four would collaborate on new material and/or discuss touring?How long after the O2 did the situation unravel to what the reality is today?

Robert has said all along that there'd be no tour. Unfortunately the rumours have persisted throughout this period culminating in his recent statement. I don't see the situation as having 'unraveled' - as far as I can see it's been very consistent; Jimmy wants to collaborate, Robert doesn't.
