Robert, 54, Jimmy, 58, and 56-year-old John Paul met two weeks ago at the offices of their management firm Trinifold.

It sure is depressing to hear that a band that I grew up with (and worshipped) is so damn old! Where have the years gone?

Don't be depressed,Dick Dale is in his 60's and I've seen him twice in the past few years.He still puts most all younger players to shame,he still plays some of the fastest,hardest,and loudest guitar out there.Jimmy Page can still play,make no mistake.That's one of the great things about music,it's not like sports where you're done at 30.

I do think this is a good thread for Mesmerizing Led Zeppelin Page

KEEPING UP WITH THE STONES'ES...

Played in New Orleans are bands from 1960's to 1988...at 32, a family & 2nd chance to learn why stuff worked(electrical engineering at college) after fixing stuff for 15 years motivated me to "park" it(playing in bands/never home/etc) and spend years being a Dad instead of "that guy who sleeps all day" or "is never home" or "is as clueless as Ozzie" or " you fill it in "

Raising and teaching my children FAR EXCEEDS ANY over-sized bank account and my ego fits in a baseball cap.

The "getting old" happens to all of us blessed with waking up everyday.....it seems to happen faster to those "in the fast lane"...as does the room temperature event...

It sure is depressing to hear that a band that I grew up with (and worshipped) is so damn old! Where have the years gone? Look at the bright side, we grew up with greastest rock band ever! Many of us probably thought Led Zeppelin was the greatest at that time, but it is gratifying to look back 20 plus years later and still feel the same way.

I tell Generation Y types all the time that bands of the present era don't even remotely compare to Zeppelin at their peak. Back in the 70's a Zeppelin concert was a real event. They could sellout six shows at Madison Square Garden in a heartbeat. For those of you who missed them in the 70's, check out The Song Remains The Same on DVD.
