Sir Stewart Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (Jones) said that he and guitarist Jimmy Page along with drummer Jason Bonham did not want a replica of Plant. He said: "It's got to be right. There's no point in just finding another Robert." Then what is the point? Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant, with a lead vocalist who's not even trying to be like Plant? Or, the alternative. Either way, sounds like a fucking trainwreck and a rape of that awesome, legendary O2 show. Fuck this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Yup. SO not going to this. Makes me wish I'd gone to see the Page/Plant tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Then what is the point? Money? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Money?Maybe, but I really don't think those guys are hurting in that department. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I can appreciate when Jones says he wants to play loud and Plant is not into that, but boys - do your own thing, don't drag the LZ name into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Page and Plant didn't tour as Led Zeppelin; neither should Page and Jones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CrushOfVeils80 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Im a huge LZ fan but I dont think I would see "Zeppelin" unless Plant/Page/JPJ were all there....and as far as replacing Plant two things....1. Good F**KING luck and 2. the Alter Bridge guy? Really? What Scott Stapp isnt available? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Has Led Zeppelin Found Its New Singer? October 31, 2008 , 11:15 AM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y. Who needs Robert Plant? Apparently not the other surviving members of Led Zeppelin, who are ready to pull the trigger on a tour with a new singer if Plant refuses to join in. Sources tell Billboard the frontman first in line for the gig is Myles Kennedy, who has most recently led the rock outfit Alter Bridge. Kennedy has rehearsed with Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham on several occasions, according to sources in the know. In a recent BBC interview, Jones confirmed the band was planning to tour but didn't refer to Kennedy by name. Although he was onboard for a one-off reunion in December 2007 in London, Plant has steadfastly declined to hit the road with Zeppelin. In late September, he issued a statement saying he has "no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone for at least the next two years," and also wished Page, Jones and Bonham "nothing but success with any future projects." If things move forward, the biggest question would be what to call the group. Would Zeppelin fans stand for it if the original name was used despite Plant's absence? There may be one unintended side effect should Kennedy bolt Alter Bridge, which has released an album each for Wind-Up and Universal. That band features the non-singing members of Creed, who split with frontman Scott Stapp in 2004. But sources indicate there would be big bucks in a Creed reunion tour and that the band may indeed rise again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
