tatamata Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 After great reunion show, they tried to stay together trying several singers. It did not work. We got last new maerial from Jimmy 11 years ago and from Jonesy 8 years ago. They had great chance with Jason to form new band and present some new maerial. Unfortunately, we will never get chance to hear that. Do you think they are retiring or we will see them together or separate with some new serious project playing tour with two hours shows?

Jahfin Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Don't know about Page but Jones has remained pretty active appearing at festivals and whatnot over the last few years despite the lack of a new studio record so I don't expect him to suddenly "retire".

ddot Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The Gods of Rock never retire, probably just doing the paper work on Zeppelin will keep them busy well into their 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzepfan Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nah. I thought Jimmy was pretty busy in 2008. I hoped for alot more to be released however: He did the movie which must have been time-consuming. He did the foo thing. he did the olympics. I'm hoping that he's working on the 02 dvd, and/or some other past release. And at the same time he's rehearsing with potential new singers. Was seen at several shows checking out other singers. Jason says he's working on new material, I'm sure jp and jpj are overseeing. and ready in a hearbeat if robert says go. I know Jonesey was at Bonnaroo, the foo gig, the bass guitar convention where he made the statement and is planning nyc in april and i'm sure(or should i say i hope)other stuff we don't even know about. I can only hope I'm that active when I'm their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zachman Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 What classifies a retirement? idk but pagey is always working.. esp on his baby led zeppelin.... i mean the way he crafted the dvd and added things to it must have taken forever and how he produces everything he is such a hardworker..not to mention evthing the man puts his mind on he works his ass off. i cant see him "retiring" .. maybe in terms of playing guitar (i pray not) but maybe he will focus on releasing zeppelin things and producing them who knows though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What classifies a retirement? Not touring or releasing any new albums classifies either or both of them as retired as active musicians. Showing up at odd gigs as a guest, showing up at awards ceremonies, doing interviews for the guitar mags, that stuff doesn't count. They spent the last year doing "busywork" waiting for Robert. Now they have to get off the couch and do something otherwise people have every right to call them de facto retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert made it very clear to them as long ago as August that he would NOT be involved in their new project - if they hadn't understood the "one-off reunion" thing prior to that.

Chicago Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Again? No they didn't. Robert made it very clear to them as long ago as August that he would NOT be involved in their new project - if they hadn't understood the "one-off reunion" thing prior to that. That kind of statement indicates there was some belief on Jimmy and JPJ's part that there was a potential inclusion of Robert to sing at some point. Were they just blindly hoping? It seems strange that he had to remind them he wasn't onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZoSo Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 No - they asked him, he said no thanks. It was just that simple? Right from jump street? A no thanks?

According to what I've read, when Jimmy Page promoted Mothership in early 2008, he talked about hoping to record and tour some more, but added he would wait until Septembember 2008 when Plant might have been free to work with them again. There may have been many months of talks and negotiations before Robert said the final no and the others started to work on their plan 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe Robert ever considered goin on a world tour with LZ, but there could have been negotiations of a few concerts and possibly even recording.

I know there weren't, and its absolutely fine if you don't believe me but I know that many people who read this will, so at least I'm answering the points/suggestions made for some.

I don't believe Robert ever considered goin on a world tour with LZ, but there could have been negotiations of a few concerts and possibly even recording. This was more what I thought as well aside from the recording part. I thought there was just going to be the O2 gig but maybe after the overwhelming response to the show itself and great demand for tix they may have considered a few more tribute shows in the US. Maybe emotions were running high right after the show with all the members and maybe things were said in the heat of the moment or misconstrued. Who knows. Only the four of them really know and it doesn't matter now anyway. I still don't think we've seen the last of them in some capacity.(i.e guest spots on each other's records, showing up on stage here and there, another tribute show.)

I never got the impression there was anything happening beyond that one show. It seemed pretty clear to me but perhaps it's that I never expected there to be. I'm still floored we got that one fantastic show even if I didn't get to experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanadu Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Jimmy expressing his desire to take the band on the road isn't quite the same as making a statement it would happen though.

IMO it just means Jimmy wishes after the success of the 02 show, the band could carry forth on some level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
