It won’t be the same, but hey, if people are willing to pay to see them perform, what do I care?

I know I wouldn’t pay to see it. But that’s just me.

“He said: “It’s got to be right. There’s no point in just finding another Robert. You could get that out of a tribute band, but we don’t want to be our own tribute band.””

Well, what do they want to do then? Just use the Led Zeppelin name to haul in some cash?

Here's a totally left field idea. . .

What's Reg Presley of the Troggs doing? :-)

His deadpan delivery over Zep's thunder - could be intriguing. The Troggs single "Feels Like a Woman" (produced by Roger Bain), put ol' Reg in front of a Sabbath-like backing track and it was killer.

Yep, time to get back on the meds.

I would rather hear Robert Plant with Allison Krauss. Last time Page and Plant got together it was a train wreck.

Sometimes, when it's over, it's just over. Always, when it's way over, it's really, really over.

It's really, really way over...IMHO

Rock and roll ping.

I was never a huge Zep fan anyway, but this sounds ridiculous.

How about the lead singer of Dread Zeppelin?

He's an Elvis impersonator, that sings like Elvis to reggae Zep tunes. Hugetube em and see.

Led Zep without Robert Plant is not Led Zep. Period. Sorry.

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden would be the best choice. He clearly has his own style and is one of the few rock singers with the voice range that Robert Plant has.

No Plant, no Zep.

Good grief.

No... they can never be again... any more than the Beatles... they are gone forever but for recordings.
They may use the name but the magic can never be captured again.

The Plant/Krauss project was really cool. I don’t blame Plant for wanting to stick with his fresh work that is some of the best stuff to come out in years. OTOH, classic rock bands are raking in bucks with the Guitar Hero generation—watch as ACDCs new album charts and they sell out all over the place. Page hasn’t done anything noteworthy since the Firm, and that wasn’t very noteworthy. They had fun, they wanna play. So, f it. Find a singer. Maybe Plant will come around. Maybe not. If people will go see what passes for the Who, they’ll go see what passes for Zeppelin.
