Jim Spellman/WireImage February 18, 2013 1:50 PM ET After their tantalizing one-off gig in 2007, Robert Plant has hinted that he's open to a Led Zeppelin reunion next year. Speaking to Australia's version of 60 Minutes, the singer deflected the notion that he's the reason for Zeppelin's dormancy. "[Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones] are Capricorns. They don't say a word. They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me," said Plant. "I'm not the bad guy . . . You need to see the Capricorns – I've got nothing to do in 2014." 40 Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs of All TimePlant, Page and Jones reunited for one show at London's O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, with Jason Bonham drumming in place of his late father, John. Though Page and Jones were willing to tour afterwards, Plant was disinterested. Page and Jones considered finding a replacement before abandoning their plans, and their 2007 show was released as Celebration Day last year. Last November, Page spoke with Rolling Stone on the failed reunion tour, saying that Plant "was busy." The band also entered talks for a streaming music deal last month.

rushgoober Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I too was VERY skeptical when I saw who started the thread. That said, I don't think this is a good idea, but doubtlessly I'll be in the minority (if you can imagine such a thing ;) ). I really have no clue why people assume that reunions of classic rock bands are a great idea. People seem to relish the thought of seeing Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin or The Who or any other bands that have been around forever. Far more often than not it's a losing proposition with bands being FAR past their prime, unable to make any new studio material (or if they do it being FAR inferior to their great works), and often performing at far below the way they did in their prime. I truly understand people wanting to see their musical heroes that for whatever reason they missed the first time around (usually because people were too young or not even born then), but it doesn't mean seeing them now as old geezers unable to perform even close to how they used to could possibly recapture their former glory. That ship has sailed. Many argue that they'd rather have the dregs than nothing at all, but you know what I think of now when I think of The Who? I think of that horrendous superbowl performance. Sometimes it's better to let the past stay in the past where it belongs. I'd rather be left with a memory or videos or audio recordings of a group in their prime then to see them way past their prime trying to relive past glories.

People seem to relish the thought of seeing Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin or The Who or any other bands that have been around forever. Far more often than not it's a losing proposition with bands being FAR past their prime, unable to make any new studio material (or if they do it being FAR inferior to their great works), and often performing at far below the way they did in their prime. I truly understand people wanting to see their musical heroes that forever reason they missed the first time around (usually because people were too young or not even born then), but it doesn't mean seeing them now as old geezers unable to perform even close to how they used to could possibly recapture their former glory. That ship has sailed. Many argue that they'd rather have the dregs than nothing at all, but you know what I think of now when I think of The Who? I think of that horrendous superbowl performance. Sometimes it's better to let the past stay in the past where it belongs. I'd rather be left with a memory or videos or audio recordings of a group in their prime then to see them way past their prime trying to relive past glories. You should just stick to baseball it'd be easier.Goobs on the mark here. Jimmy is going to be 70 in 2014. I know that I won't be contributing to their retirement fund. Yeah the half time shows at Super bowls do suck whether it's the Who, Beyonce or Madonna, even Paul McCartney. But Goober doesn't like football at all, so why is he even watching, that was my point... :sundog: I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say how thrilled we are that at least you had a point. ;) Yes but you haven't addressed it. You claim to hate football and yet you watch it and then complain about crappy half-time shows. I think you must agree if you'd stick to baseball you'd be happier. Just trying to help Baldie that's all... :hi: Just because I want to waste your time, find me the post where I said I HATE football - that'll be really constructive to the Led Zeppelin conversation.So you're saying you like it now? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t5qWJFCr4a8/UPVuHHKwFKI/AAAAAAAAKJY/s3P16vRUaFg/s1600/11wgas.jpg Like I said just stick to baseball and you'll be better off... thanks, i'll get right on that :eyeroll: meanwhile, daring to go back on-topic, there are some groups who seem to be able to pull it off many years on and still deliver the goods to an acceptable standard. geddy an david lee roth certainly can't sing like they used to, but it's often passable, and rush and van halen are still making really good new material. still, them singing live is borderline. in 10 years when they hit the ages roger daltrey, robert plant and roger waters age now, forget about it.And you Gary you know you're getting up there in age yourself, I think it's about time for you to pick yourself out a nice rocking chair there... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I too was VERY skeptical when I saw who started the thread. That said, I don't think this is a good idea, but doubtlessly I'll be in the minority (if you can imagine such a thing ;) ). I really have no clue why people assume that reunions of classic rock bands are a great idea.
