appetite4illusions Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Source: Ultimate-GuitarLegendary rock band Led Zeppelin is rearranging its tracks since lead singer Robert Plant is struggling to hit high notes.The band has been rehearsing the songs in lower key as the 59-year old Plant is struggling with his voice, which has become deeper, online edition of the Sun reported.A source revealed, "He and guitarist Jimmy Page have had a few heated discussions about the upcoming gig. Jimmy is a bit rusty and Robert has been struggling with high notes. To avoid any embarrassing vocal wobbles with the world watching, they decided it would be best to transpose the songs in a lower key."The band will perform at London's O2 arena Dec 10 for the first time after 19 years.

highvoltage Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Not surprised or disappointed at all. Doesn't necessarily mean that it will detract from the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) I'm more worried about Page playing sloppy. People say he hasnt picked up a guitar for a few years now.

mjtoomey Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You can't maintain a voice like that for so long but he's still got the magic.Mick Jagger's got a incredibly range, never a singer's singer. And Steve Tyler has that weird tinny falsetto that makes you think he's got a better range than he does. No disappointment here either. I saw him with the Strange Sensation a couple of summers ago and he was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicious Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 i saw him recently and his voice was brilliant, its expected he wouldn't be the exact same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm just an echo of what everyone else is saying, but the more people say it, the more people will believe you... I saw Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation in 2005 and he sang great. People will not be disappointed. Like someone else saif, Jimmy Page will probably be the weakest link.

pain cake Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Man look at them at their peak, it's not like the guy gave great performances. Most of the time he just didn't give a shit he was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitmanhart408 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 he'll probably be great..but maybe he should go have throat surgery like Axl and Steven Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budweiser Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I bet Axl is reading this going:WHAT THE FUCK! He can't hit them and you're all supportive and shit. I can't hit them and it's the end of the fucking world!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourAppetite Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I bet Axl is reading this going:WHAT THE FUCK! He can't hit them and you're all supportive and shit. I can't hit them and it's the end of the fucking world!!! Plant should go on the helium like Axl in 2002, sure he'll sound like shit but he'll be hitting the high notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I think it's good that he's down to earth enough to realise he can't hit those notes anymore and is making aversions to the songs accordingly rather than attempting to sing the songs anyway.

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 agreed with HV. rush tuned a few songs lower for geddy this year and it sounded fine.I know what you mean, Geddy's voice was great when they stopped by in Manchester, Tom Sawyer and Limelight and Far Cry were hilariously fantastic.I watched a concert of Robert Plant's the other day, he tore up Whole Lotta Love, i read the first song they played when they all go together was No Quarter, i wonder what that'll sound like.What do you think they'll play?Mothership in it's entirety?
