Jimmy Page still hasn’t announced his new band yet with a new singer. I feel he will sometime this year. The Led Zeppelin reunion tour rumours still don’t want to quit in the media. The rumours are giving Pagey and Plant a headache. Once Jimmy announces the new band, that will for sure, squash the Led Zep rumours for good.
Who ever the new singer is, I don’t think it will be Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge. I’m sure the new singer will be a surprise and will shock the world, you never know who’s it going to be. It can be a completely unknown singer, somebody we’ve never heard of before or it could be a big name. Jimmy Page is always unpredictable. You just never know what that guy is going to do next. Don’t be surprised if the new singer could be Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes ’cause it could be a possibility as well.
As much as I love Led Zeppelin, fuck the reunion and fuck the Led Zep tour. If you were a true Led Zeppelin fanatic like myself, you would let the band go out on a positive note which was the Ahmet Ertegun O2 show. I actually agree with Robert Plant not rejoining them full time. Like I said in a post before, he’s too old for the rock n’ roll thing which is the whole fuckin’ point of tuning down keys in certain songs ’cause he couldn’t hit the high notes anymore.
He’s great with the country and bluegrass thing with Alison. Let him do that and let him move on. Led Zeppelin went out on a negative note with John Bonham dying and they wanted to come back to the O2 to play one last final show and go out in a good way. Leave it at that. Led Zeppelin continues their tour with Plant, they could fuck up their legacy by Plant not being able to sing anymore, so I’m all for Led Zeppelin not getting back together.
I want the guys moving on to new things, moving forward, not backwards. That’s what its all about. I’m looking forward to seeing what Pagey has in store for us with his new band and I know it’ll be really great. Pagey never dissapoints no matter what project outside of Zeppelin he does. Come on Jimmy!! Announce the new band soon ’cause the Led Zep reunion rumours are giving me a headache!!!

If you saw any of the O2 show, you’ll see Percy struggling to keep up vocally imo (in my opinion). They already tuned down to accomadate his voice, but the look on his face during Black Dog seemed panicked. This is why imo (in my opinion) Percy Plant doesn’t want to do the tour. His voice can’t handle it show after show of the zep classics. That, and according to page six in the Post, a high profile tour may “out” him as a patron of the Ramrod in the West Village.

I agree with what you have said ,and cant wait till they (the 3j’s)do something .It would be interesting to see what John Paul Jones and Jimmy have been working on (they must be making new material) as they both have been promising albums/recordings for a long time now.If the reason for the delay is because they want to make sure they get the songs/music as of highest quality and maximum effect upon release.Remember led zeppelin 1? It took the world by storm so maybe that’s jimmy’s plan again.Smash the world with unleashed fury ;That is worth the wait.

“Fans need to stop being obsessive over bands because bands never give them what they want, bands do what they want to do, not giving a shit what anyone else thinks.”
As someone who’s been to over 900 concerts, club shows, free shows, etc., I have to disagree with this one. There are a lot of bands out there that give 110% for the fans even though you know they must be damned well sick of it. I’ve seen plenty of bands that did songs that were hits for them 20, 30, or 40 or more years ago, and they played them like they were brand new. Do you think Ricky Sambora and Jon Bongiovi are sick to death of “You Give Love a Bad Name” or that cowboy wanted dead or alive on a steel horse I ride song after all of these decades? They have to be! And yet they tear the roof off tha suckah every time because they know some people have paid $100 and driven 300 miles to hear it. Some artists are all about the fans; others, as you said, could give a damn and were only in it for the money anyway. I once saw the Black Crowes and they were OK but on the way out I noticed that everyone was bitching that they didn’t do that “hey little mama let me light your candle” (or whatever that song is called.) I personally didn’t notice it missing until EVERY LAST PERSON in the audience brought it up. I bet that’s the last time they pay to see the Black Crowes, I tell you what. But are all of those big haired New Jersey housewives who drove to Albany to see Bongiovi gonna make that hellish drive up the Thruway again? You betcha! I’m inclined to say “fuck Led Zeppelin,” they weren’t that good anyway now that I think about it.
