dalsh327 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Jimmy has the Casa Jimmy charity, so it might have something to do with that? Robert's done really small benefit concerts in the past. It's possible he, Robert, and John Paul Jones might perform together again, but highly doubtful as Led Zeppelin, I think the two Plant/Page tours were about getting to do those songs live but not having the pressure on them in trying to live up to the legacy. After they did the O2 concert and opted not to do dates at MSG, Led Zeppelin were pretty much over. That's why they promoted the concert film and Page has been doing these "Conversations" instead of concerts. Now he gets paid to show up and talk for almost as much as he would get paid to do a theater tour, and not have to pay a band. Metallica's photographer gets to go along for the ride.

This guy is as trustworthy as it gets.Live Nation is behind it and it seems that some concerts will be really small, like in 500 people theaters and the ticket selling system on these cases will be like on the World Cup: people interested sign in and then there's a raffle to decide who'll be able to buy the tickets.source is brazilian so it's must be fakeYou brazilians NEVER ever get your rumours and facts straightYeah, I know. But there's isn't much more on the link apart from what I already wrote.and yet you posted this hoax here without any source on the article itselfcongratsFlesch is one of the most trustworthy journalists there is. He has been publishing the correct line up for several festivals way before the official announcement for years now. He has been around for decades.yeah, so predicting line ups for some shitty festivals is the exact same as predicting a Led Zep reunion...Jesus Christ manets, just let it go and don't ever report anything plsThey had their final reunion, it was in 2007Its over =(I think it's the right move.Honestly, Led Zeppelin died with John Bohnam- the Ahmet thing in 07 was great, let it go out with grace and dignity instead of going down the Sabbath route.Jason isn't a patch on the old man, I respect him and why they have used him when they've done their one offs but it's not Led Zeppelin without Bonzo.edit: Plant and Page was awesome in the 90's, I think that was good enough.Interesting...A No. 1. album, a world tour (despite the main guitarist illness) entertaining fans all over the world is not grace and not dignity, because no Bill Ward and your opinion about 13...greatSome Sabbath fans are hilarious Edited May 26, 2015 by Strange Broue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 A few years ago there was also a rumor that Richard Branson is getting Led Zepp back together and he is going to pay 500 million or somethingI won't believe it unless I get direct information and confirmation from Plant or Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Zep to me are, much like GnR, a band that didnt play to the aspects of them that i liked. Only Zep were, as musicians, pound for pound, a shitload more talented than GnR, which makes it all the more aggravating.I think a drummer with some swing would've been an interesting addition to their music, sacreligious though i know that is, Bonzo contributed to some of the density of their work, in a wonderful way as well, thats not necessarily a criticism.

Tom2112 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Not happening, what is more likely is that Jimmy Page is planning on doing a solo album and tour. He's been talking about it since the reissues started. Plant has no interest in revisiting Led Zeppelin, he's pretty much said that in any interview where the question has been raised. Anytime he says he's free to do something, he's just playing with journalists (the type of guy he is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm sure it was awkward once Tony brought up the new album but I don't think Bill is that bitter towards them, esp. when he just finished a new album. What put Led Zep above a lot of bands was that they were self-contained and in full control of the music and being able to lock in with each other. It's only when the wheels started to come off around the Presence and ITTOD tours, they were still a great band but Plant's voice and Page's playing were becoming an issue. Knebworth wasn't their best moment but some of the 1980 boots did sound like they had it together. No one really talks about the Led Zep rhythm section that much, it's all about Plant and Page but just listen to them all play off each other.

You're kidding, right? You're right about JPJ I suppose, but Bonham is easily the most popular drummer ever, (other than Ringo Starr who's only popular because he was in the Beatles, not for what he did in the band). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You can never say never when Robert Plant is involved but it is as pretty close to never as you can get these days.JMO but I think we will see a GNR reunion before Led Zeppelin with Percy tours again.

maynard Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) How on Earth would a Brazilian dude who works for some crappy newspaper know anything about a LZ reunion before anyone else in the whole fucking world? If he has some insider when it comes to Rock in Rio or Lolla ok, but not this. Of course it's not true. And I'm sure Manets agrees with me but decided to post it anyway so wtf.
