Led Zeppelin reunion??


Recommended Posts

He moved it - and re-posted several things. I actually have a whole bunch of those bookmarked at home. If nothing else, I like to read the notes about the releases. I suppose that guy puts some people off, due to the fact that he does FLAC, and not Mp3 (which is what you usually find on these blogs), but I think he is doing a good thing. I just don't have the patience to mess with all those links.

LONDON - The manager of Led Zeppelin Christopher Dutchmill has stated

that in lieu of going on tour, the heavy metal British band will instead

record a Christmas album.

 

Dutchmill stated that the reason that LZ decided against going on tour

was due to lead singer Robert Plant stating that he would not be able to

sound like he did in the 70s.

Plant said that he had to be honest and state that he could just no

longer hit the extremely high notes like he did 40 years ago.

 

Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Paige said that he had to agree with his band

mate Plant. Both band members said that they knew that they could still

rake in millions but that it would not be fair for fans to pay to see

Led Zeppelin and then end up getting a watered down version of The Cowsills.

 

Plant said that he had spoken with Adam Lambert about taking his place.

But Lambert is already set to go on tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and

Young as his opening act.

 

Jimmy Paige remarked that LZ had in fact auditioned three other singers

to replace Plant.

 

The first was Jonathan Skeffington lead singer of the Manchester band

The Ovulating Camels of The Kalahari.

 

Skeff did a nice job of singing and he had no problem hitting the very

high notes. But his only setback is that he has a rather dangerous

obsessive compulsion of building terroristic type bombs and then selling

them in the Manchester underworld market.

 

The next singer Gavin Bristol front man for the Chichester band The

Raging Female Hormones of Amy The Winehouse also did an excellent job of

singing but his one draw back was his 40-plus marijuana cigarettes a day

habit.

 

And the third individual that Led Zeppelin auditioned was an amazingly

fabulous girl singer named Rainbow Middlesex, lead singer for the heavy

metal band The Bosomy Bitch of North Boarhunt & The G-Spot Sluts Band.

 

The beautiful big-breasted 20-year-old lass has a fantastic voice and

she sounds exactly like a female version of Robert Plant. The band

members, including Plant, all decided that Rainbow would make the best

replacement for the lead singer spot.

 

The only stumbling block is the fact that there is currently a warrant

out for her arrest. It seems that Rainbow has recently been involved in

three train robberies on The Whale Island, Portsmouth Harbour, &

Stubbington Railroad.

 

An official for the WIPH&S Railroad said that the gang from North

Boarhunt, which was led by Miss Middlesex was also wanted for bank

robberies in Hardway, Bridgemary, and Funtley.

 

So Led Zeppelin manager Christopher Dutchmill and the band members

decided to record an album of Christmas classics which Robert (Plant)

would not have any trouble hitting since they are all in the middle

register.

 

Led Zeppelin's Christmas Album is entitled:

 

CHRISTMAS SONGS FROM THE BLIMP BLOKES

 

1. Santa Claus Isn't Coming To Town

2. Deck The Halls And Pubs

3. Frosty The Snow Ho

4. Joy To The World Of Wine, Weed, And Whites

5. Silent Night - Don't Ask, Don't Tell

6. I Saw Mommy Doing Santa Claus

7. Feliz Navagation

8. Jingle Bell Rock And Roll

9. Sarah Palin Shot At But Missed Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

10. I'm Dreaming Of A White Line Christmas

 

 

 

Led Zeppelin's Christmas album is due in stores in late November. Or it

can be purchased direct from Robert Plant at www.blimpblokes.mic

Charlotte 1970

 

8mm fan footage featuring Led Zeppelin performing in Charlotte, North Carolina, April 7, 1970. Though the footage is somewhat dark and underexposed, this version is a new (Oct. 2009) digital transfer from the original reel. (Dubbed audio from the next night in Raleigh)

That was funny. Was that after the whole "he's parking the car" comment? I forget where that was said.

The parking-the-car quote was after the "Unledded" acoustic show that Page and Plant did on MTV the year before the HOF induction ceremony. Jones was miffed that he was never contacted.

That's it. And then Robert said in an interview or somewhere, that he was down on one knee (tying his shoe) and apologized to him.

nah, this is where Page and Plant were spinning general stuff about music. the JPJ came along and thanked the fans, the manager peter grant, and "his friends for finally remembering is phone number!"

 

jimmy looked embarrassed, robert was rubbing his hands, licking his lips thinking "i'll kill you later".

 

then jason and zoe bonham came on and the mood changed.

I listened to the Jimmy Page interview yesterday. There is not a whole lot of talk, but you do get to hear those Led Zeppelin BBC shows. OF course, you can now buy them on CD.

 

I have read elsewhere that he plans to do some new music this coming year.

Jimmy Page has confirmed that he plans to be performing a whole lotta new solo material on a upcoming 2010 tour. In a recent interview, televised by Sky News, Page revealed that he's been working on some new music since the Led Zeppelin reunion gig held at London's O2 arena in December 2007.

 

"We're running up to Christmas now and next year I have every intention of playing music live and manifesting it," Page said during the interview. "I've got the music waiting, and that's what i'll be doing. It's been two years since the O2, so it's time to do that."

 

There is no word yet on a release date for the new material nor are there any confirmed tour dates other than the newly announced show in Beijing on April 17th 2010.

 

Beijing?

If anyone has a notion to get these discs, this a good place to get them:

 

Led Zeppelin: Cabala 1963-1988 (8 CD Set)

 

8 CDs covering Zed Zeppelin and relevant pre-Led Zeppelin material, dating from roughly 1963 through 1988.

Quality is variable, but all very listenable.

 

I had these before in crappy Mp3 quality, so I think I am going to grab them. The files are FLAC files. I generally don't like fooling with Rapidshare links, but there is some good stuff on these discs.

What's really nice is some dude paid a couple hundred bucks for that show, and then shared it. I read something a while back about some bootlegger complaining about BT putting him out of business. Now that is funny.
