Move over Police, it looks like the Rock Gods are trying to steal your thunder! Please, please, please go on tour. http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/generalarticlesynopsfullart.aspx?csid1=111&csid2=844&fid1=26379
Bring it. IMO a reunion isn't really a reunion unless all original members participate, but having Bonham's son (who is actually an excellent drummer) would only be right. Some people don't like all these reunions, but I love them. I don't care how old they are either. Just goes to show you how much today's music blows. Either that, or I'm just turning into an old FART.
i guess this is pretty big news... but I'm still underwhelmed. even having seen P&P in '95 and '98, nothing will be the same, even with JPJ and young Bonham... but if they toured, I'd be the first in line...
I saw them with young J. Bonham at the Atlantic Records 40th anniversary show at the Garden. They were amazing.
this reunion story pops up about once or twice a year, so i'll believe it when i see it. but i'd spend a couple hundo easy to catch a show.... curious to see how plant and page both sound, though. neither of them have the chops they had way back when.
Both. I too think today's music blows.. but something about.. old and decrepit geezers barely moving about on a stage .. just doesn't scream.. "Rock".. to me.. But I'm young.. so.. Would that make the Rolling Stones.. demi-gods?
Having Jason Bonham play in Led Zeppelin is like having Pete Rose's son play for the Reds. Weren't they supposed to reform in the 80's with Omar Hakim (was he in Power Station?)?
Wowwww. I don't care how much it would cost and far I'd have to go, I would without a doubt go see a concert if they went on tour. For the longest time, I wished I could have seen them in concert. This would be amazing. Plant's voice isn't nearly the same, but it'd still be great.
That was Tony Thompson of Chic and later of the Power Station. He got injured in 1986 and the reunion tour ended at that. I thought that the term Rock Gods was coined about them?
Please, oh please, oh PLEASE. I'd pay any price I could afford, easily. I'd give anything to see them back in the day, but I'll sure as HELL take whatever I can get. I went to the Sabbath reunion tour (the actual reunion tour....not like at OzzFest of whatever). That KILLED.
Zep are (were) amazing, but this doesn't excite me. The difference between the Police reunion and a Zep reunion is that Sting's voice still sounds the same, whereas Plant can't hit most of those notes he was so famous for... Page can still tear it up, though.
Yeah, I thought Plant's voice was almost completely gone and the last time he and Page got together he "lounged" it. That would seem harder and dumber to do for a real reunion tour.
yeah plant's voice just isn't close to the same. i wouldn't spend big money to see them, only because i went before, but i'd get some cheap seats.
