59LesPaul Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Oh yeah a man among men, spare me. He would be nobody w/o jimmy's riffs!!! Yes he would.With a voice like that,he surely would. It's not like Page and Plant are Jagger and Richards...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 And I was being hunted and beaten for it. Like I said, it wasn't a fun game in my shoes. I think this is getting a little off-topic here. I know..it just made me angry when he said plant would have been nothing without Jimmy's riffs... his zeppelin career was a big and important part of his life but I think he could be successful without this part of his life...he still could have been successful due to his music and powerfull voice that gave him the reputation he has today without being "Robert Plant the lead singer of Led Zeppelin"... He's very gifted and talented and would have succeeded anyway, as he is determined to be proud of what he does and naturally confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bong-Man Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 He is the voice of rock and roll, but I'm sorry, I haven't believed a word the man has said in over 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabbalahone Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think this is getting a little off-topic here. Not really. Did you think it was only about music? Anyhow, I wasn't going to say anything more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabbalahone Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think it is about "Robert Plant, a man among men". Excuse me please, but I had a right to respond to this: He plays to win, but he also plays to have fun and not to take it too seriously. He has always had the attitude that he must be proud of what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mernie Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't understand half of what I just read. Anyway, I love Robert Plant. He's a gorgeous man with an exceptional voice. He's charming and charismatic. I've always appreciated his imaginative lyrics. I'm disappointed that he won't rejoin the Js but he should go where his heart leads him.

Melanie_72 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 There are so many people posting on this board bashing Robert Plant that it is disgusting. This man has given his whole career to making music for people to enjoy and in thanks he gets ridicule, insults, and mockery for staying true to his own heart. Too bad, for the selfish, that Robert won't indulge them with a tour of greatest hits that they so demand because they were born 10-30 years too late to see the real Zeppelin. Robert Plant is the best vocalist of the rock era and should be RESPECTED by anyone with any appreciation of music. The Plant bashers should go F$#% themselves. Thank You Zooma!!

lzfan715 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks for the post zooma. Robert has done wonders with his music career. He isn't our stereo or a jukebox, so we can tell him what to sing. I respect him for all his work. If he's happy, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatbo Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 robert plant is not only the prototype for hard rock vocalists (that's saying alot), but he is a consummate entertainer. add lyricist and recording artist with an impressive body of work outside of led zeppelin and one would struggle to find a more impressive career. i don't agree that robert would be nothing without the riffs of jimmy page. rather, i remember when led zeppelin was new and the most striking thing about my first listen was plant's voice. for those of us old enough, before there was plant it was a different vocal landscape-then the release of the first album and it was truly an amazing sound. totally original, without precedent, and it changed the voice of rock forever. so, here's a halloween toast to robert plant-the most distinct voice in music.

I'll toast to that I've always felt we would have heard of Robert sooner or later, had Jimmy not heard him that night. His talent was too good not to have been noticed.
