Led Zeppelin II

According to the Robert Plant Newswire, former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant confirmed to the Birmingham Evening Mail on November 6 that he would not be joining guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham on the road for the proposed Zeppelin reunion tour. He said it was partly because he'd be busy working on the follow-up to his awardwinning "Raising Sand" LP.

"In January, I'm starting to record a new album with Alison Krauss and T Bone Burnett," he revealed, before adding, "but I understand that everyone's got to eat," implying that the Plant-less Led Zep has his blessing.

He also imparted one piece of significant information: "They won't be calling it Led Zeppelin!"

Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham recently confirmed that they are contemplating going on the road without Robert Plant, and have jammed witih several potential replacements. Sources have indicated that the leading candidate for the job is Myles Kennedy of the band Alter Bridge.

When asked about the collaboration, an unnamed spokesperson for Page's management company, QPrime, told RollingStone.com, "Whatever this is, it is not Led Zeppelin. Not without the involvement of Robert Plant."

Ik ben vooral helemaal gek van die No Quarter versies die op bootlegs ( ) te vinden zijn. Vooral die van The Legendary End 1977. 35 minuten waarin JPJ erg goed in vorm is.

Ik vind de cover van "No Quarter' door TOOL mss nog wel beter dan het orrigineel. En het orrigineel is al zo fantastisch.

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has revealed that he decided against performing again with the band over fears a full reunion might disappoint fans.

Plant ruled himself out of more shows last November following endless calls from fans for the band to return to the road.

The singer's former bandmates - Jimmy Page, Jason Bonham and John Paul Jones – later abandoned plans to tour without him after attempts to find a replacement singer fell through.

Speaking to Absolute Radio's Ben Jone, Plant said it would have been "delicate" to "visit old ground" again with the group.

"The disappointment that could be there once you commit to that and the comparisons to something that was basically fired by youth and a different kind of exuberance to now, its very hard to go back and meet that head on and do it justice," he said.

"The reason that it stopped was because we were incomplete, and we've been incomplete now for 28 years."

Plant added that it was important to "guard the discretion" of the band's past material and "make sure that you have all the reasons in the right place to be able to do something with absolute, total conviction."

"I mean, if my great award is to do this, then I don't want to do anything where we challenge what we did in the first place by just going back and visiting it without having a new, fresh makeover start."

Calls for a Led Zeppelin reunion tour were instigated by their reunion show at the O2 Arena in 2007, which attracted 1 million applicants for just 9,000 pairs of tickets.
