Vacant Horizon Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 great article. glad to see jason is really trying to get the sound right etc. too many times these old bands play reunions and they just use what ever technology and studio musicians they can get and it just sounds so hollow. for example, the eagle's replacement dude for don felder. i mean, he just had a crunch to his playing that only he had. so with zep, i am glad they're getting the sound right. page plant was good, but it wasn't zep. not to mention that 'drums' have all but become a nonentity in music since the 80s. just all reverbed etc. at least some of the indy bands are trying to get back to that nice warm, dry drum sound from the 70s. so that pic is just great! they all look awesome, especially page and plant. they are still cool rock stars comfy in their own skin and not caught up in any fads like in the 80s and 90s. just look at plant's hair through the years! i am not expecting zep from 73. i love plant's voice now, especially on raising sand. so, lowering the keys of the tunes is no big deal to me. although it sounds like a nightmare for page, seriously. i think that's why they got into rearranging everything for the no quater project as they needed to change keys and that just makes the song sound different. now page is gonna sound great no matter what and of course jpj will lay it down. i hope they are making sure his low end is phat and high in the mix! my hope is that they do what sounds good now, given their age etc. and not try to kill themselves rocking out or for plant, hitting the high notes. So here's to some really good intentional rock from the masters. custard pie, houses, in the light, rain song, for your life...all would be great nice and slow.craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Report: Led Zep, Metallica For BonnarooLed ZeppelinDecember 03, 2007, 12:25 PM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y.Led Zeppelin will play its first U.S. show since July 24, 1977, this June at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn., according to an email published in industry commentator Bob Lefsetz's newsletter. The report also says Metallica will headline the event. Speculation about additional shows for Zeppelin, which will play a stated one-off Dec. 10 in London in tribute to late Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun, has been buzzing for weeks. A Bonnaroo spokesperson had no comment on the email. A Led Zeppelin spokesperson could not be reached at deadline. Summer Zeppelin shows would reportedly conflict with a tour by frontman Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, which is presently being booked. However, Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones has played at Bonnaroo on several occasions, most recently this summer when he jammed on his old band's songs with Ben Harper and the Roots' ?uestlove. As for Metallica, Bonnaroo would likely provide a launching pad for the group's next album, expected sometime in 2008 via Elektra. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 that's been rumored a while... but fwiw, Metallica have already denied it: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...ewsitemID=86054 also, Pearl Jam will likely play at Bonnaroo this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I figure that festival would end up with more people than Woodstock/Walkins Glen if that is true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Metallica not so much. I like early Metallica, but its been a long while since I liked what they put out, so Metallica would be a bad choice for Bonnaroo. LED ZEP would be cool. Hoping for another great lineup for Bonnaroo 2008. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Bonnaroo Promoters Quash Lineup RumorsLed ZeppelinDecember 04, 2007, 3:45 PM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y.After a rumor that Led Zeppelin and Metallica would headline the 2008 Bonnaroo festival caused an Internet frenzy in the past 48 hours, the event's promoters have spoken out to quash the reports. "The rumors that are out there about the Bonnaroo 2008 headliners are inaccurate," Superfly Presents and AC Entertainment said in a statement released to Billboard.com. "We're very excited about the lineup that we're putting together for this year's festival. We'll be announcing the confirmed lineup toward the end of January/beginning of February. The source of the Zeppelin/Metallica rumor was an anonymous email included last week in industry commentator Bob Lefsetz's newsletter. Led Zeppelin will play its only planned show Dec. 10 in London as part of a tribute to late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 There has been speculation - but no official announcement. If anything, I would think it would come out on DVD or some sort of pay per view deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 i was thinking it's a pity there wont be an acoustic set, which was a highlight of their tours in the 70s, when there was one. it'd good to hear Bron-aur-stomp or Thats the way again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
