The Pagemeister Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 According to The Pulse of Radio, David Coverdale says he told Jimmy Page to back off on trying to reunite LED ZEPPELIN for a world tour and record a band album with superstar guest vocalists. Coverdale, who teamed up with Page for the short-lived 1993 COVERDALE-PAGE album and tour, explained to Uncut, "My suggestion to him when I saw him in the summer was to do what Carlos Santana did with 'Supernatural'. Get a selection of people in, because there's no question John Paul Jones writes fucking kick-ass music. I said Joe Elliott and me would come in and do a track rather than the focus be on one person." He went on to say, "Will people be willing to see three-quarters of the family with a guest — a cousin twice removed? I'm as curious as anyone to see how it works out... Change is good as long as you fucking deliver. I hope it comes together for him because, Jesus, he deserves it." Coverdale says that his most cherished collaboration was his 1993 team-up with Page, which led him to rethink how he chooses guitarists. "When I worked with Jimmy Page, that was totally inspiring for me, and you can hear that on the COVERDALE-PAGE album," he said. "And that was a great parameter for me to look at. The only people I would be prepared to work with are ones who would, who I'd feel could drive me, inspire me to go for notes I've never gone for before."

glicine Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Not a bad idea. But him and Joe Elliot? Oh no I'm not saying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 The only good idea I've heard so far is the Steve Tyler one. It could be that Plant changes his mind though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think this might be the best way to go (unless/until Robert wants to return for another one-off)...

I only put Paul Stanley up there because he sat at the same table as Ross Halfin and JP & Halfin does his photos, too. Halfin mentions him a good bit on his website and PS was very positive about JP and Led Zep in an article of recent... I agree with you regarding Cornell. He would be great!!!

MisterMcLov1n Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I would prefer a new album over a tour, actually. A few weeks in the studio wouldn't kill Robert, would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakdaddy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Jimmy Page guitar & producing JPJ bass, keyboards, & producing Jason Bonham drums David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, & Gary Cherone on vocals all at the same time. Michael Anthony on backing vocals & bass on the keyboard oriented songs. Gene Frenckel on cowbell. Bruce Dickinson managing & supplying gold plated diapers for all to wear.

Make a new album is not just spend a few weeks in the studio. There has to be more, much much more. And he has already said he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakdaddy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The last thing Jimmy & co. should do is make an album of auditioning singers or a guest vocalists album. START A REAL BAND, DONT MAKE A PRODUCT. THATS WHAT COVERDALE/PAGE WAS, A PRODUCT, WITH LESS THAN SPECTACULAR RESULTS. They should just find what their direction & sound are going to be & find a vocalist /lyricist that obviously suits that. Dont lean on the past. And please, pretty fucking please, I pray they do not hire a vocalist who has ever sang at any point for Black Sabbath/Deep Purple/Rainbow.... that eliminates about 50 70's-80's vocalists right there. And lastly, if I want to hear Zeppelin, I have the records. Just do something new. They dont have to reinvent the wheel but they should stay from the obvious commercial aspects of what people think Zep sound like, ie Coverdale/Page.

FireOpal Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Bless his heart. I'm not a fan of Mr. Coverdale's music, but this is so refreshing to read after all the negative hoo-ha about how Jimmy & JPJ should just sit in their rocking chairs at home and never play music again.
