purdieshuffle Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Anyone give any thought that this whole jimmy, jpj, and jason thing may just wither away without ever coming to fruition.....I wouldn't be happy, but I could see it happening. Especially since it seems like the three of them are pretty disappointed that the tour is not going to happen the way they had originally hoped for.....thoughts?

Dzldoc Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Well I've had tickets in my hand to see Zeppelin once and 3 days before show time they cancelled. So I will believe it when I stumble from the venue after the show is over LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheZeppyWanderer Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 No question in my mind, the wheels are in motion. So many issues to be worked out though - other band member(s), setlist, venues, support bands and a thousand other tiny details. Jimmy, Jonesy (and of course Jason) are determined now, I feel it - just a question of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long year of speculation and hope. Not sure I want to have another year like it in 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 If they don't announce 'something' within the next month or two, I will be concerned that it's fizzling away. Still too early to give up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I want to have another year like it in 09 Here's to that. It's what we're all thinking, IMO. Robert has proved for the last 28 years that there is life after Zeppelin. Jimmy and Jonesy will now show that there is life after Robert - otherwise it will be perceived that Robert totally held the key to Zeppelin, and was capable of killing it off. And Robert has always stayed fresh by seeking out new projects. If and when the Js come up with something new, it will of course grab Robert's interest - and that could well bring him in from the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I think something will happen, JPJ has already said that things are in motion earlier in the year, and things like the Foo Fighters gig, the closing ceremony of the olympics and the Stephen Tyler jam show that Jimmy and JPJ have been active. Also the band havent got a history of announcing things very early, the O2 show was only announced in September with the actual gig originally being scheduled for November. Part of it possibly is theyre having difficulty finding a singer in that they're spoilt for choice. After all Myles Kennedy is the only one we "know" about. Velvet Revolver split with Scott Weiland in April and still no news of a lead singer from them, these things take time. I also think that they may have been taking things slow until Robert was 110% sure he didnt want to be part of anything. I think all the signs are pointing to something happening with this new band. Whether '09 will be the year, who knows? Could be '10 or '11. Hopefully it will be '09, even if its only a one of gig to start things off. Also, its unknown whether they will record then tour or vice versa. If theyre recording first could be a while before a tour. Things could of course fizzle out and numerous Zeppelin reunion plans have over the years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 the only thing to be afraid of is the dark not the reunion of two old fogies and a stand in drummer - <VBS> i love you to bits guys regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, which is why there is a better likelihood taht things wont fizzle out. What I meant to say is that there are examples of plans not working out.

Without RP its true it isnt Zeppelin, but surely a band featuring three of the finest musicians is a very exciting prospect. There are other examples when a 'new' band featuring multiple members from another band has worked very well indeed. A few examples being Audioslave, Velvet Revolver and Alter Bridge.

gadgetguru Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Dangone-it!! Things are so complicated now planning tours, all the periphery of lawyers and support, I long for the old days when a band just hit the circuit. The Chitlin' Circuit for instance. Kind of like how the Blues Brothers just showed up at the Honky Tonk, took the stage and started playing. The management thought they were the band they booked. Wouldn't it be fun if the 3 J's did that? Just came to some local club, set up and started playing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanadu Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi. Oh, I don't know. If their happiness depends on that tour, then I guess they should tour under a new name, but personally I don't really need that for myself. We already have their music, and without Plant the group chemistry would lack much of it's most precious essence. On the other hand, if the band waits for Plant and then does a small tour together, well that would really be something special. But the only thing that really might worry me, would be if I suspected they were unhappy and Jimmy and Robert had lost their bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "afraid" is not exactly the word. They are musicians, if they feel like going out and making some new music, just let them follow their muse, like Robert has always did. True it won't be Zeppelin, but I think if their hearts are really in it, something interesting will come out. I'm not worried about Jimmy and Robert losing their bond. As Robert himself has said, Jimmy is very supportive of what Robert is doing, and I believe it will be the same if Jimmy goes on with new music, even better than a reunion with all old stuff.
