Blue J Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 He has come a long, long way since his lemon-squeezing days. Honestly, I have always appreciated that he never agreed to do a Zeppelin ‘reunion’ tour, regardless of how lucrative it would have been for all of them. In his later years, he has written songs that suit his voice as it is, rather than as it was- and he seems to have kept true to his mantra of ‘Ever onward’. Happy birthday, Percy! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Birthday, Robert !!  He certainly has come a long way from that picture. :( HB just the same. I'm sure he'll be peeking in here to see who sent good wishes his way. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 What is there to not be ok with? If someone was born X amount of years ago then that's their age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone was born X amount of years ago then that's their age. It was a joke question. :)  It pokes fun at us fans, who don't want our beloved rock stars to age, because that means WE are aging, too. :boohoo: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) With Robert Plant's birthday being today, and he's had to turn 71 because of it, there isn't, and hasn't been anything wrong. Wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, Robert, "happy 71st birthday". Edited August 21, 2019 by Derek19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I barely made it ro 52, so, yes 71 is an awesome bonus. Being an icon is icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Happy Birthday to a legend! I am very ok with it. Better than not making 71! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just so you all know, he's been really into playing tennis for quite a number of years and all that time in the sun has likely taken a toll on his skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) I’ve seen him live four times- Manic Nirvana and Fate of Nations tours, in 1990 and ‘93, respectively- and twice with Jimmy Page, in 1995. And even though it has been awhile since then, I’ll say that in seeing clips of his performances I’ve seen in the years since- he has always seemed to bring an appropriate level/degree of energy to the music he and his band are performing, also. He has always been an incredible frontman. Edited August 22, 2019 by Blue J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit the guy sounds better than ever on that. f***ing legend who is still doing it. LOOKING AT YOU GEDDY Why compare him to Geddy? How's that clever or fair?

GeddyLeeRoth Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I was sort of surprised he isn't older, then I remembered he and Bonzo were pups when they recorded their first album 50 YEARS AGO. OMG time goes by. I'm 46 but I remember the second half of the Seventies and started listening to hard rock and metal in '83 at the tender age of 10. I'm glad I look and act younger than I am, but many of my idols are dead, retired or close to retiring. Anyway, Happy Birthday Robert! The first six Zeppelin albums were beyond amazing and I will always treasure them. Getcha getcha Led on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
