Ok so a LED ZEP tour, but without Plant, its kind of meaningless....


Doors of the 21th century anyone?

There's no truth to the rumor that Neil Diamond is the American singer standing in for Plant.

So no Shilohs of the Holy??
Damn.

Robert is busy selling a million albums with alison krause

Meanwhile, David Coverdale clears his calendar for 2009.

Mr. Page....there's someone -- i think he said his name is "Axl"? -- on line one. He says he's looking for work.

Rev. Skarekroe: Meanwhile, David Coverdale clears his calendar for 2009.

Dammit!

Folderol: Rev. Skarekroe: Meanwhile, David Coverdale clears his calendar for 2009.

He'd better get in line....Lenny Wolf wants in.

Double Dammit!

/My money is on Ann Wilson

Don't do it Bobby...resist!

Please, let my beloved Zep rest in peace...

Jack Russell - Great White.



This guy could pull it off. HAS pulled it off in the past.

I think they should give Tortelvis a shot at fronting the band.

Randy Jackson of Zebra would work for me.

Love Zebra, but his voice is a little thin for me, for Zep stuff....

Please.

I guess he's not in the mood for a melody.

FTFA: "While fans would be disappointed if Plant was not involved, the shows would still fill arenas worldwide."


um....unlikely.

"And one American singer has been so impressive the other band members are confident they could hit the road next year WITHOUT their iconic frontman."

This afternoon while I was driving home from work Whole Lotta Love came on the radio. I was sitting at a light singing along, pretty loud I might add when I looked over and saw a guy in a convertible that looked at lot like Jimmy Page. Well, the light had turned green and the guy was pulling away so all I saw was the back of his head, but it was white so who else could it have been? He must have heard me singing and been impressed, so I'm guessing they'll be calling me tomorrow to arrange a tour bus to pick me up. I thought that they would've talked to me before putting it out in the press, though.

It's nobody's fault but theirs.

Chris Cornell could do it

My god. I can't believe they let crazy Jim back on Fark.

Plant is doing much better work with Krauss than he ever could doing Zeppelin shows today

FTFY

Please no... no more reunion shows! Just go off and be old, and stop pissing all over your legacy.

This applies to all you farking geezer bands, not just Led Zeppelin... or Led Zeppelin Featuring That Guy From Great White... or (Original Members of) Led Zeppelin... or Jason Bonham and Led Zepplin... or Sounds Like Led Zeppelin.


/nostalgia sucks

Will they be taking any red snappers with them? You know, for the groupies.

Ten bucks says they get that guy from Wolfmother.

/shudder

I have never understood why so much energy and attention is paid to those Hamburgulars of the blues.

Once freed from the jaws of an 8-Track deck of a Camaro, the music deflates faster than Jimmy Carters economic policy.

They need to give Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney a call if they need a lead singer and drummer.

What would we name this monstrosity?

Led Beatles? Zepplin, Wings & Starr? Some sort of satanic anagram combining the letters of their bands?

Amen.

The only plus of getting a new singer in is that whoever it will sing on pitch live far more often than Plant ever has.

You know, I can see a band, like, say, Great White having a revolving door and touring all the time just to pay the bills, but there's no way that Page and Jones are hurting for money and I'm sure Jason Bonham is doing all right too.

On a prog rock board I go to, there's a huge thread about the nonsense that Yes are up to. There was supposed to be a 40th anniversary tour of the classic lineup of Anderson/Howe/Squire/Wakeman/White but Mr. Sparkly Cape dropped out....to be replaced by his son Oliver and Anderson got very sick earlier this year and can't tour so.....they're bringing in a singer from a Yes tribute band and going out on the road. It's totally embarrassing and while some fans are "I love the music, I'm not picky about who plays it", I think Yes are in for a rude awakening at the box office without Anderson and Wakeman, especially if the reports of them charging $90 and up for a ticket are true.

Did none of you catch the clue at the end?

"Tin Zeppelin."

David Bowie had a short-lived band called Tin Machine. They are hinting at Bowie fronting Zeppelin. Insane idea if you ask me. Chris Cornell would be perfect. Or maybe that guy from The Darkness. :)

/wants Plant to farking wise up already
//would not be surprised if Plant was banging Krauss

Been a long time since I rock n ...rock n...rock n...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Maybe Paul Rodgers can continue his new job as "The Designated Singer".

/Maybe a "Firm" commitment with Page again.

Ordell, Bowie Lives in NYC, but he's hardly an American singer.

I had tix for Page/Crowes in 2000, still pissed they cancelled the Atlanta show. I don't get why Plant isn't into a reunion tour, it's not like anyone would be coming to see him and allison krause if he weren't the frontman for Zep.

KILLERPIGGY, is that you, slayerswine? Who let you sneak back in here?

Carl Sagan's Ghost: They need to give Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney a call if they need a lead singer and drummer.

The Who need to do this.

Sounds like a better deal than hanging out with a couple of old geezers and the dead guys kid.

Why does ageism exist only with rock music? Nobody told Sinatra to stop, Mozart to stop, Miles Davis to stop. They aren't geezer bands, they are the same band (assuming the same lineup) that they were 30 years ago. They've aged, they don't look the same, whatever, but why should they stop?

DEF LEPPeRD SUCKS

Why don't they do without the vocalist and have an instrumentalist play the vocal parts? Like this guy, for instance.

Can we return the thread to talking about Alison Krauss? Pics? Anyone?

Do we get a free paranormal message from dead loved one's beyond the grave as a warm-up act?

let it go, man....

Sanjaya FTW

Does anyone remember laughter?

FredGarvin: Ordell, Bowie Lives in NYC, but he's hardly an American singer.


/facepalm

I know who Bowie is and that he's not American. They said multiple singers are working with the band, and one is American. My money is on Cornell.

Rodgers would be an awesome choice but he's about to tour with Queen. What a mismatch that is.

If they picked Coverdale, that would be such a fark you in Plant's direction it wouldn't be funny.

As for you anti-reunion folks, I'm telling you, this was spurred on by Richard Wright's death. Gilmour farked around too long and now the opportunity is lost. The Police had to do their tour because Andy Summers is much older than the other two, 66 years old now. If they didn't do it last year, it would be too late.

Whether it's a victory lap, a chance to play to new fans or a thank you to fans who stuck with them through all the trends, or all the above, I really don't fault these older bands for wanting one last chance to play to their fans and, quite honestly, say goodbye.

I've always been of the opinion that Ringo & Paul should join The Who. After all, they're missing a bassist and a drummer.

Ordell
Cornell is tired. One day you'll find ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

I second the statement about ageism and rock music. That!

Seriously? If they need someone that can sing all of their songs and hit all the right notes; Ann Wilson is the logical, and sanest choice. Heart includes, or has in the past, several Led Zep songs in their setlists.

Jacques Lestrap: ♫And she's buying a stairway to salesmen♫

To salesmen!

Subby: Page is the only one in an old-age stupor. Plant and Jones have gone on to have interesting and varied musical careers. Meanwhile, Page has been rehashing the same riffs for 40 years.

PS: Does anyone have the Krauss/Plant tapes before T-Bone Burnett trashed them?
