Led Zeppelin Will Tour

Members of Led Zeppelin say all systems are ready to go for a tour even if Robert Plant refuses to join them. Sources say the person in line for the job of frontman is Myles Kennedy who has been the frontman for the rock band Alter Bridge. If the tour happens without Robert Plant, the band may not be called Led Zeppelin though. This may be a good move. It’s hard to imagine Led Zeppelin without Plant.

Robert Plant has stated that he has no intentions of touring with anyone for the next two years. He finished touring with Alison Krauss a couple of months ago. Maybe he just needs a break, maybe if the other members of Led Zeppelin would wait for a couple of years he would be willing to participate in a Led Zeppelin reunion.

I feel that if Jones, Page and Bonham can’t wait for Plant, touring with a name other than Led Zeppelin is a good idea. I would go see them either way, but using the iconic name Led Zeppelin may turn some loyal Zeppelin fans off.

What do you think? Would you go see these talented musicians without Plant? Would the name of the band make a difference?

Led Zeppelin Reunion – Is Plant In or Out?

Well, I’ve been reading rumors all over the net about Robert Plant joining Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham in the studio and on a tour in 2009. I’ve been so excited because after last month’s announcement that Jason Bonham was leaving Foreigner and that he has even gone to England a couple of times to jam with Page and Jones I just knew the rumors must be true. I was so glad that Robert Plant was onboard. I was too young to see Led Zeppelin when they were together before but my mom listened to them all the time and I love their music. I used to play “Stairway to Heaven” on my flute. Ha! I have always wanted to see them live.

Robert Plant burst my bubble yesterday! The official statement at www.RobertPlant.com states “It‘s both frustrating and ridiculous for this story to continue to rear its head when all the musicians that surround the story are keen to get on with their individual projects and move forward,” Robert Plant said. “I wish Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham nothing but success with any future projects,” he added. Robert Plant is currently touring with Alison Krauss and their last date is October 5, 2008. After that, Plant has no intentions of touring with anyone for at least the next two years. He will not be recording or touring with Led Zeppelin. The site warns of buying tickets for such a show because they will be bogus.

Now what? Will Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham go on without Robert Plant? Will they follow in the footsteps of Boston and Journey and find a replacement on YouTube or MySpace? I think that worked out really well for Boston and Journey by the way. I did see a Led Zeppelin tribute band at Rockfest in 2007 called Zed Leppelin and they were awesome! At the time I figured they were the closest thing to Led Zeppelin I’d ever get to see. The lead singer not only sounded like Robert Plant, but he looked like a younger Plant too. I don’t know about the rest of you, but if they are able to find someone who has similar vocal ability as Robert Plant and they go on tour, I’m there!! I know it can never be the same, but I never had the opportunity to see the real thing so this is close enough for me.
