[WhiteRose]

Ya buddy should delete this thread before it gets to be a waste

Yes, could one of you mods please delete this thread?  It contains old misinformation that serves no other purpose than to confuse and disappoint all of us Zeppelin fans here.

Cheers,

According to Launch Radio Networks, Robert Plant says that, although there's no bad blood between him and LED ZEPPELIN co-founder Jimmy Page, the two have fallen out of touch. Plant spoke to Britain's Mojo magazine, who asked him if he and Page, who co-wrote most of the band's most popular material, are still in contact. Plant said, "No. I'd like to talk to him but I never do. Lives change. The unfortunate thing is that whenever John (Paul Jones), Jimmy and myself meet up, the points of reference are always about the past. If there wasn't any previous triumph then we probably wouldn't be in touch."

Launch asked Plant why he hasn't been gung-ho for a full-scale LED ZEPPELIN reunion. "It's not that I've been obstructive," he replied. "It's just that it meant what it meant when it meant it, and beyond that there was no story, and with John's (Bonham) passing and all that stuff, it was gone. There's no need for it."

Led Zeppelin guitarist to testify against bootlegger

Led Zeppelin's former guitarist Jimmy Page is set to to testify against a bootlegger in Scotland.

Robert Langley was arrested in Glasgow in 2005 with what police claimed was over ?25,550 ($50,000) worth of pirated CDs.

Amongst these were Led Zeppelin shows which have never been released, including one at Knebworth from August 1979.

Other items included unreleased material from The Beatles and Bob Dylan.

Page has already been to Glasgow to identify the Led Zeppelin tapes for investigators from the British Phonographic Institute.

The guitarist will reportedly testify when the trial is held in Glasgow's Sheriff Court.

Langley has not pleaded guilty to copyright violation charges.

No date for the trial has been set, reports The Rock Radio.

From the Sunday Mirror:



IT'S the reunion rock fans thought would never happen. Led Zeppelin are planning to re-form for a massive world tour.

The surviving members of the Seventies "Whole Lotta Love" group have been approached to headline a memorial concert for the founder of their record label, who died last year.

They are understood to have agreed - and during discussions about the concert, they gave the green light for a tour afterwards.

Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones will be joined by the late drummer John Bonham's son Jason. Led Zep, who split in 1980 following the death of Bonham, have reunited only a handful of times in the last 20 years - most famously for Live Aid in 1985.

But a tour has never been on the agenda for the group who invented hard rock with songs such as Whole Lotta Love, Stairway To Heaven and Black Dog.

Plans for the gig in London to remember Atlantic Records boss Ahmet Ertegun are in the advanced stages. Approaches have also been made to the Rolling Stones, Genesis, James Blunt, The Streets and Bloc Party.

A friend of the band said: "Page, Plant and Jones spoke and agreed to do the memorial concert. They are waiting for a definite date.

"And no-one can quite believe it, but during discussions about the concert they all gave the green light to a tour if it all goes well and they don't all fall out.

"It has been hoped-for and denied for years. But this is closest they have ever come to a reunion tour. The feeling is that this is going to happen next year.

"They have watched the way The Police and Pink Floyd have come back together.

"And, of course, they would like to step up again to the world stage before they are all too old to do it. They certainly don't need the money. But they would like the adulation."

A world tour by Led Zeppelin would generate a whole lotta cash. The Stones' epic A Bigger Bang tour has already grossed more than ?200million.

But, with 300million album sales worldwide, money is not a concern for Led Zep. While they no longer make the mayhem for which they became famous - at their peak, the band wrote the rock rulebook for drink and drug-fuelled antics - the surviving members all still make music.

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have continued to work together on-and-off and in 1998 released the album Walking Into Clarksdale.

Plant, now 58, has never left his roots in the West Midlands and still lives on a farm near Kidderminster.

Since splitting from his wife Maureen Wilson in 1982 he has remained single, although he has been romantically linked with singers Alannah Myles and Najma Akhtar.

Often voted the best rock guitarist of all time in polls, Page, 63, from Hounslow, Middx, wrote the soundtracks to the Death Wish films in the 1980s.

A renowned philanthropist, he was awarded an OBE two years ago for his charity work helping Brazilian slum children. His daughter Scarlett is a respected photographer.

John Paul Jones, 61, from Sidcup in Kent, has continued as a musician and record producer and has worked with Paul McCartney, Brian Eno and R.E.M.

John Bonham died aged 32 after choking on his own vomit following a drinking session. His son Jason is also a fine drummer and has filled in for his dad at the rare reunions as well as playing with Foreigner.

[anythinggoes]

That would be a dream come true for me

maybe Poison could be supporting act, but i dont think your heart could cope with that sort of excitement   

[Butch Français]

I say, go for it! but get good old Mister Grohl to bang the skins instead of Jason!

[GNRreunioneventually]

they could charge 1000$ a seet and make it. they could be the biggest selling band EVER if this happens, it would put The Rolling Stones to shame. But its probably a good thing they said that they don't need the money because if they do tour they'll prolly only charge the amount of money it costs to tour so they break even maybe make a little more kinda like sammy hagar.

Man this is right up there with the REAL major things

1 the return of Christ
2 CHINESE DEMOCRACY
3 Led Zeppelin reunion

[Robman?]

I wouldn't be particularly excited about it

[Wheres Izzy]

I've heard Plants recent solo stuff and his voice isn't what it was even ten years ago. Still I would jump at a chance to go. It's fucking Zeppelin. Anyone Hear the live album of Zep songs and old blues songs Page did with The Black Crowes? One of the best live albums ever.

[Chief]

i don't think its gonna happen, and it will never be the same without Bonzo, but it should be interesting to see what happens in any event......

[CheapJon]

I believe it when they are on stage

[Axlfreek]

[KIKO2K6]

I hope its true nothing can touch LED ZEPPELIN.

[fuckin crazy]

Damn ! I would cash out investments to see that show .

While Bonzo was the man , I think Jason would be the only person to replace him .
