What? That’s a little reaching, isn’t it?

Flowers talked to NME and said that the band has already conquered its British market and now needs to concentrate on the U.S. He said that we Americans are still so concentrated on Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, that there’s no room for them.

He says, “We’ve been embraced in Britain in a way that I’ll never understand, and it’s such a wonderful thing,” he declared. “But over here [in America], people are still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, those sorts of bands, that nobody else is allowed [to grow].”

He’s right. We love our Zeppelin and Nirvana, now go back to the U.K. already. You are no Robert Plant and certainly no Kurt Cobain.

The remaining members of Led Zeppelin have already decided to tour next year without Robert Plant. Much to my dismay, they are auditioning replacements for Plant and are going to name their band something else.

Paul McCartney has come forward to express his disappointment at the band for reuniting without Plant. He basically says that the reunion won’t be the same without Plant.

He says, “What’s happened to Planty? He was great at their gig. It’s such a pity.”

Agreed!

The rest of the band are auditioning singers to take over the frontman position of the band. And any tours done by the group will not be under the name Led Zeppelin.

Their spokesman says, “Whatever this is, it is not Led Zeppelin. Not without the involvement of Robert Plant.”

It’s good that they’ve realized that they are not the same band without Robert Plant. No one even comes close. I wonder what they’re going to call themselves now?

Chris Cornell shares the same idea about a Led Zeppelin reunion without singer Robert Plant as I do. It’s “depressing.”

Zeppelin announced plans to tour next year without Plant last month and Chris Cornell has said that he has no plans whatsoever to take Plant’s place. That’s a good thing, because while he’s a great singer, he’s no Robert Plant. No one is and no one could possibly take his place.

He said, “I would never do anything like that whether I were approached or not. It just doesn’t make any sense to me at all. I would not want to go see me performing Led Zeppelin songs with the two other guys that used to be in a band called Led Zeppelin while Robert Plant is out somewhere touring. That’s not a ticket I would buy. God bless ‘em, but that’s not Led Zeppelin. I find it completely depressing. I’d never do anything like that. I mean just out of respect to the legacy of the band.”

Agreed 100%.

John Paul Jones has confirmed the news that Led Zeppelin is about to go on a world tour after they’ve found a replacement for Robert Plant. They offered Plant the opportunity to get back together with the group, but he declined.

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was rumored to be stepping into Plant’s shoes, but they’re heavy shoes to fill. Think he could do it? While I love both singers, there just isn’t going to be another Robert Plant.

John Paul Jones says, “As soon as we know who it is, we’ll let you know who it is.”

He’s still holding out for Plant to change his mind, maybe in a “few years”?

Led Zeppelin is planning a full tour for next summer, with Robert Plant set to rejoin the band. Woot!

The band have yet to confirm to plans, but reports have surfaced that they are reuniting and will be hitting the road next year.

A source says, “He [Plant] realized he couldn’t face the thought of not being involved. The band were over the moon when he told them the news.”

I can’t wait! Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands of all time. I hope they come to Ohio!

Now, Plant says that more shows could be on the way.

He said to Britain’s Uncut magazine, “Hopefully one day, we could do it again.”

John Paul Jones, added that he and Jimmy Page agree: “We spoke afterwards, and we both thought the same – it felt like the first night of a tour. “You think, ‘Oh, I could do that a bit better, or change something in that song.’ And we didn’t get a chance to do any more.”

I wish they’d get to it already. I’m dying to see them live.

Rumor has it that Velvet Revolver is set to support Led Zeppelin for a full tour! That’s rockin’ news, I’ve seen Velvet Revolver in concert and the show was nothing short of electric!

Duff McKagan of Velvet Revolver says that he’s pretty sure that there will be a Led Zeppelin reunion tour as soon as frontman Robert Plant is done doing his thing with Allison Krauss. He’d better get it over with already, us fans are ready to see them…like now!

He went on to say that VR has been tapped to support the legendary rockers, but there would be a ton of bands chomping at the bit to knock them out of that slot.

I guess it’s not about the money for Robert Plant. Sources say that Led Zeppelin were offered a sum of $200 million to tour around the globe, and all of the rest of the band members were up for it, except for Robert Plant.

He’s determined to leave his legacy with the one-off concert he did last year in memory of Ahmet Ertegun.

Take the money, Plant!! We need to see Led Zeppelin in concert. Don’t walk away from your fans!

But he wants to hang out and do whatever he’s doing with Alison Krauss.

So, fans, concentrate the hate mail on that heffer!
