He...Hey Steve,<br>I think you hit the nail on the head. <br><br>He can hide behind Bonzo's death all he wants, but I think Robert is afraid of failure.<br>He usually brushes of the Zepp questions saying that it is not a challenge, but in reality, isn't the comeback the greatest challenge of all?<br><br>Can lighting strike twice? Wouldn't you want to know?<br>That would be a great challenge and a great reward. <br><br>If you fail, you fail, but at least you tried. That is not going to tarnish any so called legacy that you have, or think you have. The word "Legacy" is an old word. It's just a pomp and circumstance word that went out with button shoes. Know one really cares about that stuff anymore these days. All they want is their Iphones, Ipods, email, and video games.<br><br>Is it not better to try it, than to avoid it?<br>Because if you don't even try it, the regret will bother you for the rest of your life, and in reality, there's not much of that left for some of us (and them).<br><br>You might go down in a blaze of glory, but at least you gave it a shot.<br><br>Nuvo911Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-47317873054052516962009-02-09T20:14:00.000-05:002009-02-09T20:14:00.000-05:00Though it would be nice to see Page/Plant/ Jones a...Though it would be nice to see Page/Plant/ Jones and Jason Bonham do something new together, it would be compared by the public to past efforts. Plant is wise to let sleeping dogs lay and let us reflect on what was. Perhaps the Rolling Stones and The Who should take a hint from Plant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-74669782251678333922009-02-09T05:03:00.000-05:002009-02-09T05:03:00.000-05:00Please ... do we have to have this analysis and re...Please ... do we have to have this analysis and reanalysis time and time again?!<br><br>Robert Plant has done the right thing. There is no way that the three pensioners can recreate the sixties and seventies.<br><br>You talk of fright, but all he is referring to is the obvious. A reunion could be one big letdown. Best to remember the legendary music as it was originally recorded and performed. What is the point of trying to go back to 1980?

However, I noticed a different tone in this interview, in terms of his attitude toward Zeppelin. No "spinal Tap" comments or belittling the time in Zeppelin, no "I am not that guy anymore" comments. My thoughts are 1. he realizes that age is narrowing the window of opportunity to perform with Page/JPJ, thereby softening his attitude, and 2. I really think he is signaling to Page that if he would come up with something new he would not rule out being a part of it.<br>And the fact that he mentioned Jimmy Page by name tonight on national tv speaks volumes, in my opinion. A couple of Plant "insiders" on various message boards perpetuate the myth that he is still bitter at Page over events of 30 years ago. Based on the Wales (December) interview and the comment tonight, I am not buying that theory at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
