xanadude Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned him already (sorry I'm coming to this thread as it's alreday 8 pages long), but how about Chris Robinson from The Black Crowes? I thought their live album with Jimmy Page was the best live vocals that had ever been recorded on Led Zeppelin material... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Action Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Filling Plant's shoes is like filling Freddie Mercury's shoes in Queen. Just cannot be done. Ironically, Plant filled Freddie's shoes in a Queen tribute show a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Coverdale's idea for Jimmy to do what Santana does and have many singers on one album. They would still need one singer for a tour though.

yepper62 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 the thag is robert doesnt want to do it , he has given his blessing for page to do what he wants and that is to play , im shure the new singer will have his hands full just like robbie blunt did, by the way robert hasnt put out a good album since robie left (im shure ill get a responce on that) but true, if robert can fuck up a zep song with strange then so can the 3js lets be fair, i love them all , but if robert want to play with alison instead of the best rock band in history should the 3js never play again ,come on if robert wants to end his legacy playing covers in a country band go boy go ,as far as the 3js, dont juge a book before its writen page wont hert zep thats his baby, like the firm, coverdale page , yea it wont be zep but it will be new rockin songs, i trust in page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the three Js should go out and do something new if they're inspired to work together. I am anxiously waiting for something from Pagey. If they include Zep songs, fantastic. I have no issue with that nor do I have issue with Robert singing Zep songs. I also think Robert should follow whatever musical avenue inspires him - if it's with Alison or whomever. I'd just like to see both of them out there making music for a good long time. Edited December 27, 2008 by ninelives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will finish up in Nashville and be exploring something else, whatever captures his interest. He is nowhere near retirement, and his creative exploration of different genres keeps him young.

bravophone Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 If they're gonna do it -not as "Led Zeppelin"- , I'd like Jack White or Dave Grohl, but no one can replace Plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hang-man Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Tom Jones. Hey-Up, When Bonzo, PLANTed his Seed, Jason was the next best Living Drummer to fill his Fathers "Four Sticks " & Stool, Although Robert would have PLANTed his seed, in Many a dirERECTION, we don't see any of his "Off-Spring" aspire to the Microphone......., The Three of them said, Quote..Dec 1980... With the Sudden Death of our Beloved Friend John Bonham, we could not continue,etc"... But Jason did a Bloody Good Job, but on this some now coming up for what will be 29yrs since Bonzo has passed, No Robert CBE on the Microphone, then that is Im afraid is that, as it will not be Led Zeppelin, it would be three Musicians, & a Singer. But Long live Led Zeppelin. All the best, Hang-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey-Up, 101 & All, As you know, WE ALL, on here are Very passionate about WHY, we are on here......... Led Zeppelin "As you said, then said i wont Say.."Quote you" (Above),,, So I shall say "We are all gathering thoughts of "Who should do what, & who should re-place Who etc, BUT when it comes to Led Zeppelin", but one thing I find on here is that we are all entitled to what eachother thinks & respects, & thats what keeps us all adding our own "Posts" Yes??. My thought, along with many others is, "The Sporn of Thunder" (Jason) was the ONLY real person, who should Rightly take his Fathers place at the O2, as for the other 3 members, as Proved in there own Solo projects, have NEVER come under the name of "Led Zeppelin", if it be from "Sir" Jimmy with,"Death Wish II, The Firm, or Coverdale etc", JP Jones doing Albums/Soundtracks like "Scream through to Zooma & producing other bands like The Mission", or Robert "CBE" from doing "Burning Down One Side- through to Strange Sensation, or Alison Krauss etc", & the same now goes, that if Robert decides to give it up, being a Quarter of Led Zeppelin, then so be it, who ever/IF ever he is re-placed, it won't be Led Zeppelin, & it wouldn't if JP Jones gave it a wide berth, & I DREAD to think if Sir Jimmy wrapped it in, would it be Led Zeppelin then,?? I think not. This is because its not just any Rock band, "THIS IS LED ZEPPELIN" All our Led Zeppelin, & thats one of the reasons we love them .
