Analogman Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Now, the big question is who will play drums. On the LZ board, many feel it will be Dave Grohl. I figure they will go with Jason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 My money's on Rick Moranis, as Ringo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Now, the big question is who will play drums. On the LZ board, many feel it will be Dave Grohl. I figure they will go with Jason. Grohl has been very vocal about dropping anything/everything to do just that should they be interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I have to say, if anyone could re-create a reasonable facsimile of the John Bonham sound, it may well be Dave Grohl. Such a fantastic drummer ... I'm kind of sad that he's spent so much of the last decade standing out front with a guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I don't think he has what Robert called "the sex groove" though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 That's a good point. I suppose Michael Lee is also a possibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The Colour And The Shape is one of the best pure rock albums of the 90's. It might be better than Nevermind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Led Zeppelin Announcement Expected Next WeekLed ZeppelinSeptember 07, 2007, 3:35 PM ETRay Waddell, NashvilleTalk of a Led Zeppelin reunion just refuses to go away. Billboard reported in July that the band may get together for a proposed tribute to the late producer/record mogul Ahmet Ertegun at the O2 in London in November, Now on Ledzeppelin.com the date 11.13.07 mysteriously appears with the familiar Zep symbols. And several people saw the band touring the O2 during Prince's recent stand at the new 20,000-seat London venue. A press conference next Wednesday (Sept. 12) in London may clear everything up. There has been talk that tour producers AEG Live and Michael Cohl's CPI (Rolling Stones, Genesis, Barbra Streisand) have put in offers on a Zep tour featuring founding members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones with late drummer John Bonham's son Jason on drums. But it is also well known in the industry that standing offers have been on the table for a Led Zeppelin tour for more than a decade. Nov. 13 also has another significance: it's the release date of a new Atlantic/Rhino two-disc, 24-track best-of set, "Mothership." Additionally, a deluxe reissue of the soundtrack to the 1976 concert film "The Song Remains the Same" with previously unreleased material and a new DVD edition of that movie will arrive Nov. 20 via Atlantic/Rhino and Warner Home Video, respectively.

TimRoss Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I'd cast a vote for Jimmy Chamberlain from the Smashing Pumpkins. While SP may be considered a joke now, Jimmy is still a powerful drummer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
