Report: John Paul Jones says the new Zeppelin band is not looking for a singer who sings like Robert Plant…

Leave a comment

There are lots of singers out there who tries to sing like Robert Plant like all them Led Zeppelin tribute bands out there as a perfect example. Well, Jonesy revealed more details on the new Led Zeppelin project that the band isn’t looking for a singer who sings like Plant. They are looking for something completely different and new this time around. Jonesy says they are trying out a couple of singers but didn’t reveal who they are. Jonesy also explains that there will be a new studio record with this new band and a tour to follow after.

The question I wonder is, I wonder if this band will continue under the Led Zepppelin name or go under a different band name? Of course, they will change the band name, they can’t be Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant, so they have to change the band name.

This project is sounding very interesting to me.

I’m itching to hear what Jimmy Page has up his sleeve for his guitar playing for this new project, I hope it’s loud and rockin’.

Think the singer could be Leona Lewis? It could be possible and wouldn’t surprise me at all if Jimmy picked her.

Report: John Paul Jones confirms that he, Pagey, and Jason plans to tour without Robert Plant!

Leave a comment

Led Zeppelin bassist/keyboardist, John Paul Jones, attended the Mansons Guitar Show in the UK for a “Q&A” session in front of an audience. At the Q&A, Jonesy confirms the rumours that the leftover members of Led Zeppelin touring without Robert Plant is true. Jonesy says they are indeed auditioning for singers and they haven’t yet made their decision of who the singer will be to take Plant’s place. Jonesy says the band will let the public know on who they decide who the singer will be.

For the people who still want Robert Plant to sing with them? Get over it! Move on! Led Zeppelin reuniting for a one off at the O2 last year was all they needed to go out on a positive note.

I don’t care what Jimmy Page does, I just want him out there playing music and playing his guitar, so I don’t care what project or band Pagey does ’cause I just want him out there working. Pagey’s always been known to do various different projects over the years besides Led Zep. Pagey, Jonesy, and Jason going on without Plant will be interesting in my opinion. I’m all for it.

I just hope they choose the right singer, but other than that, I don’t care who the singer is, I just want to hear Pagey’s guitar playing.

Report: Jimmy Page does not want a star on the Hollywood “Walk of Fame”…

Leave a comment

A die hard Led Zeppelin fan Rocky Dickerson started a campaign where rock guitar legend Jimmy Page could get nominated in getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Rocky Dickerson started the campaign when coming back home in California after attending the Led Zeppelin reunion concert at the O2 last year. When Jimmy Page finally heard this guy is doing a campaign to get a star, Jimmy Page responded and said he does not want his own star, and says Dickerson shouldn’t bother with it.

Good for Pagey. The man is serious about guitar playing and music, he only wants to concentrate on that.

This makes it pretty clear that Jimmy Page just wants to play music, not worrying about fame.

Report: Who should sing for the members of Led Zep?

Leave a comment

With Robert Plant made it official that he is not rejoining Led Zeppelin for good, this still not stopping Pagey, Jonesy and Jason for making music. The three left over members have been making new music in the studio and have been planning a future tour with a different singer.

Rumours are swirling the net that Myles Kennedy, the lead singer from the band Altered Bridge maybe fronting the members of Led Zep. But when the members of Led Zep find a new singer, they will of course have to change the band name. They can’t be Led Zeppelin still without Robert Plant right?

More on it here:

I strongly disagree with that choice, I’ve heard Altered Bridge before and they are terrible. They sound like Creed almost since Mark Tremonti plays for Altered Bridge now. I also disagree with the other choices in that article above.

Who do I think should join the members of Led Zep for tour and album, I’ll name just a few choices:

James Labrie of Dream Theater

Chris Cornell

Eddie Vedder

Report: Robert Plant denies reuniting Led Zeppelin full time for tour and new record…

Leave a comment

Well, there you have it. I had predicted that Robert Plant himself was going to speak out on the rumours of him re-joining Led Zeppelin full time. The singer released an official statement hoping to squash those rumours for good.

Plant says he is frustrated and annoyed that these rumours won’t seem to stop. He also explains that these musicians, the left over members of Led Zeppelin are committed to doing their new projects and moving forward. Plant wishes Page, Jonesy and Jason the best.

Read Robert Plant’s statement here:

Good, I am actually kind of glad that Led Zeppelin isn’t reuniting full time for a tour and new record.

I want Robert to continue his country project with Allison because it’s really good stuff.

I want Jimmy Page to do other things. Pagey maybe making new music with Jonesy and Jason, and they maybe auditioning new singers, but not under Led Zeppelin, under a different band name. I’m sure we will hear from Pagey soon about this as well.

I’m glad Led Zeppelin came back to us for one last time, and they deserved one last show in a positive note which was at the O2 last year.

Report: Led Zeppelin tour actually gonna happen???

Leave a comment

Jimmy, Jonesy and Jason has been making music together still without Robert Plant since he was on tour with Allison Krauss. The three has talked about going on tour with Led Zeppelin but to go on without Robert since he constantly denies joining them everytime. Jimmy, Jonesy and Jason has been auditioning other singers to join the band.

When Robert received the news that the band was going to tour without him, this is what made Robert speak to the rest of the band on possibly joining them for a tour. Simply because Robert felt that there can not be a Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant because Robert Plant is Led Zeppelin. It is the truth. There can’t be a Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant. So sources say that Robert Plant may actually have a change of heart of joining the band for a full world tour and a possible new Led Zeppelin album.

In the next week or two expect Jimmy Page or Robert Plant to speak out on this article printed at the Sun newspaper with them saying that it ain’t true.

Don’t get your hopes up yet.

Robert Plant is still shooting down rumours of joining Led Zeppelin again full time for a tour or an album. He also admits that the band wasn’t about the fans at all. He said it was all about four guys getting together to make some powerful rock n’ roll music.

It’s actually good that Led Zeppelin isn’t going on. I’m proud of the O2 performance from last year, that’s all we need really.

Let the band members move on to other projects.

Report: Led Zeppelin back in the studio for 11th album?

Leave a comment

Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham are currently in the studio writing new music for a possible new Led Zeppelin album. However, Robert Plant is not involved in the recording session since he is still busy touring with Allison Krauss. The news of Led Zeppelin possibly recording a new album have been revealed by Jason Bonham himself.

Hmmm, the Robert Plant and Allison Krauss tour is almost over, they got 9 shows left in their tour:

Could Robert Plant have new Led Zeppelin music in prepared when he comes back home from his tour with Allison? Could Led Zeppelin be writing the music for Robert? I certainly hope Robert would be up to singing with Led Zeppelin for a new record.

I just want Led Zeppelin to make one last album before the band goes out for good.

BREAKING NEWS: Led Zeppelin will never use their music for videogames…

Leave a comment

If you’ve been wondering why Led Zeppelin has never used any of their songs for the earlier Guitar Hero games or Rock Band, it’s because the band refuses to allow any videogames use their music.

So if you’re expecting Led Zeppelin to release their own Guitar Hero like Aerosmith did, don’t get your hopes up, because it looks like it will never happen.

I guess I was wrong when I said the band would want to do something like this.

Man this blows.

I can understand why, it’s their music, their copyright, bands do what they want with their music.

Maybe Jimmy Page will have a change of heart toward the videogames down the road, but I doubt it. The band probably knows nothing about video games since video games weren’t even around back in the bands hey day.
