I don't care. I'd rather find some new artists that are good. Any new work by Led Zeppelin is probably like any new work by Paul McCartney: not very good, but it'll make a few yacht payments.

+1 -- I am huge Zep fan, but those magical days are long gone. Jimmy can't play anywhere near like he did in the '70s. This is not breaking news, either -- for Page, that level of guitarmanship was actually gone by the mid-80s. And Plant can't hit those notes anymore. And ... lets not forget that John Bonham is also "long time gone".

That being said, I am not slamming them as wash-ups. I thought the Firm was great, and I love Plant's first three solo albums (any Robbie Blunt fans out there??). So, it's cool if they want to work together again, but ... regardless of what they call themselves ... it is NOT at all Led Zeppelin.


I think it's great that musicians like that keep working. On the other hand if they modernize their stuff to be fresh they aren't themselves anymore and if they play what they played 30 years ago they are outdated. It's only a small fan base that cares. Part of what made bands like Zep outstanding was how new their music was AT THE TIME. That time was a long time ago. I'll check out whatever they release, but I'm not expecting to be excited by it.

That's what I was thinking, too. By the way, that's an unlikely, but very good combo.


They did some countryfied versions on some Zep songs that were truly fabulous!!!!!

I liked the albums by Page/Plant.

And the Page/Coverdale album was good too.

I would be interested in a new LZ album.

the reunion concert last December (IIRC) sounded fine once they got warmed up.

Sounds like this could be very interesting! This by no means states that they'll be coming out with a new album, but with them entering the studio, there's always the possibility.

Hopefully if they do make a record, they stick to their roots and don't try to overdo anything.

Discuss.

i rather see a new record from Van halen with david lee roth
than a zeppelin record
