Zint Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Here we go again!linkSinger Robert Plant, 59, was originally opposed to the idea but has been talked round by bandmates Jimmy Page, 64, and John Paul Jones, 62. A long-time pal, Whitesnake's frontman David Coverdale, said yesterday the tour was "very likely" and he was expecting to be the support act.David said: "I'm expecting a call from Jimmy any day asking my band Whitesnake to support them on their world tour. Am I on board? You bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 David Coverdale is to Led Zeppelin as Sebastian Bach is to Guns n' Roses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Oh lord, the teasing is simply unbearable.So how many different bands have claimed they'd open for Zeppelin? Let's see: The Cult, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots, Whitesnake. I'm sure they'll be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Sounds like Plant was playing a cruel joke on Coverdale by telling him they can open for them. He probably just said yes to get him to go away, like an annoying kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UseYourAppetite Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think Coverdale's just trying to get some hype going in the hope that if a tour does happen then they will be called on to support. At least I hope so anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 David Coverdale is to Led Zeppelin as Sebastian Bach is to Guns n' Roses.Ain't that the truth.No way freakin' Whitesnake opens for Zep. Will never happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Yeah, he wishes.It would never happen. Let's think: the biggest reunion tour in years (bigger than The Police, even) with millions upon millions in revenue... they're going to get an expired has-been '80s glam metal band to open for them? A band that hasn't had a hit album in probably a couple decades? Time to rock out with our cocks out!!

DirtyDeeds Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I never got why people said Coverdale was trying to rip off Plant. He sounds more like Sammy Hagar than anything. I will give you, though, that he is trying to sound like Plant in "Slow and Easy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Whitesnake were only a hair metal band for a couple of years. Other than that they're always been pretty much a heavy blues band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 My co-worker was just talking about a possible Zeppelin reunion today, funny that this came out now. That would be a killer tour. The ultimate would be a Zeppelin/G N' R tour - but I'll only ever see that in my dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissirge Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 the funny thing is that Coverdale does a better Plant these days than Plant himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKKDARK Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 http://movies.indiainfo.com/2008/05/11/080...d_zeppelin.htmlMusic group Whitesnake are confident that they will be invited by legendary rock band Led Zeppelin to join them on a world tour.The Zeppelin tour has been eagerly awaited ever since they performed a one-off gig in London last December, contactmusic.com reports.Said David Coverdale, lead singer of Whitesnake: "I'm expecting a call from Jimmy (Page, Led Zeppelin guitarist) any day asking my band Whitesnake to support them on a world tour. Am I on board? You bet! It's probably worth billions."Coverdale also thinks Zeppelin will be much better than the Rolling Stones in concert.He added: "Unlike rolling out the wheelchairs with the umpteenth Rolling Stones World Tour, a Led Zeppelin tour will be incredible."

FunkyMonk Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I wouldn't get your hopes up buddy. I'm pretty sure Zeppelin would be able to secure a better opening band than "Whitesnake". Hell, if Whitesnake are busy, why not get Warrant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I wouldn't get your hopes up buddy. I'm pretty sure Zeppelin would be able to secure a better opening band than "Whitesnake".Would be a disaster if they didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 That would partially ruin a Zeppelin gig for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Coverdale has long been labelled a poor-man, wannabe Plant. No way Whitesnake gets this gig.Would be about the cheesiest opening act for Zep I can think of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Zeppelin would have their choice of any band out there to open for them, but I can guarentee it wouldn't be Whitesnake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
