Oh No!

This looks bad. From the BBC:

Rock legends Led Zeppelin are planning to tour and record but without frontman Robert Plant.

Bassist John Paul Jones told BBC Radio Devon that a new singer was being sought after Plant ruled himself out.


Yikes. The article goes on to say that Zep is not going the AC/DC route and is instead looking for a singer that sounds diffrent from plant. At least that rules out Rod Stewart or the singer from Def Leppard. Though Perry Farrell might have been kind of cool, but i doubt he would have done it.

I'd be okay with this as long as they called it something besides Led Zepplin. So, Rick, would you still pay $100+ a ticket to see Zep if you got, say, Paul Rogers instead Robert Plant?

Also, losing plant can't be good for a new album. He's the only one who's solo carrer was worth a shit. I dunno. Maybe P. Diddy can guest on the new Zep tracks. That should be enough to break Rickles.


and if it's long the rest here.

fuck this shit. If they're out of money it's their own damn fault, and if they're doing it for the music they wouldn't be doing it without Plant. It's pointless without plant. Let it be until the times right.

i understand them wanting to play music again but no way should it be called Zeppelin. i would still like to c them in concert but no way with the high prices.

they might make some good tunes, dont know why they would call it zep. doesnt make sense, i think they will back off that.

This is making my stomach hurt just thinking bout it.

As far as the name thing when page & plant toured in the 90's they didnt call it zep and they are the 2 most important members. and they played zep songs so what the fuck.

the money thing is not an issue these guys have a ton of money. i feel bad for however takes the spot cause you cant fuck with Plant he's in the top 5 vocalist of all time easy. Queen did this shit with Paul Rogers but Freddy Mercury is dead so they had no choice.

and fuck p diddy!
