I guess that he has enough money to satisfy him.
I have to admit that would be very satisfying.
Page’s fingers may get a little slower, but the guitar sounds just as good. Comparisons with the recorded music everyone is used to aren’t too bad.
On the other hand, Plant knows his old voice just can’t cut it anymore. Maybe if he was Leon Redbone it wouldn’t matter, but young Plant is a tough act to follow.
There must have been a communication breakdown.
Plant may not be able to get it up vocally enough to not get booed off the stage. He’s had a lot of vocal degradation over the years.
I guess he’s still sore at John Paul Jones. Why, I don’t know. He did do some appearances with Jimmy Page a few years ago, maybe they had a row?
Walking away from $800M? Wonder what Page and JPJ thinks? Also wonder what kind of ticket price generates that kind of money. I’d love to see Zep again, but would not take out a mortgage to do so.
Good. Some integrity for once. They are all what? In their 70s and Bhonam isn’t there.
Good on Plant.
Unfortunate.
Could be publicity stunt.
The Beatles did it right, they ended it at the right time, and now they are as popular as ever.
How long has it been since the Rolling Stones were relevant, despite all of their tours?
Ha ha.
Jimmy Page probably needs the money.
These LZ English did more to make our nation a cesspool than any Commie or Obama could dream of.
I’ll bet that went over like a lead balloon.
Now if he had lit the contract on fire, that would be noteworthy.
$300M each - even adjusted for inflation, I doubt Page or Plant ever earned that much from all of their ‘70s tours combined. Baby boomer nostalgia rock is obviously profitable - can newer acts like Justin Timberlake or Taylor Swift command fees like that?
I have to wonder if he wasn't stung a bit by Ann Wilson's vocals during the tribute performance of Stairway.
The last time they were together with Jason Bonham at the benefit in London a few years back Plant sounded fine to me. Sure, he can’t hit the high notes as well but that didn’t bother the audience.
I bought the CD/DVD package and I think it’s great.
Although they are not much loved around here, some of the old rockers can still put on a good show.
Last week Queen+ Adam Lambert won the Classic Rock Magazine “Band of the Year” award after their sellout tour of North America, Australia and Asia. It did not require a second mortgage on your house to be able to buy tickets:
He can’t sing anymore and he’s pissed
