Steve help me out here . . . that there would NEVER be a reunion of Led Zeppelin because one of the band mates is no longer with us, so in essence, it cannot be done because the band as it was no longer exists or can exist without Bonzo. In my mind that's the end of it. If the remaining members decided to work together and fill in that empty spot, it wouldn't be a reunion, it would be it's own thing, so I'm not sure why all these fans clamor for a reunion, when what Robert says really makes perfect sense, lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-90083084550423425202010-10-08T20:35:52.216-04:002010-10-08T20:35:52.216-04:00To Anonymous:

When asked about the rumor, he replies, "You'd be better off reading Playboy. There's more substance in this magazine than all those sites on the web!"<br /><br /><b>All</b> those sites, Robert? You're not going to spare this one, which had it right from the beginning?

The problem with Robert Plant is that he is very selfish when it comes to Led Zeppelin fans. The reason he won’t do any shows or new music with Page and Jones is because he only cares about what makes Robert Plant happy and not a thing about what makes the international legion of Led Zeppelin fans happy. He is set for life from song royalties, and past ticket sales, he has already made his money from the Led Zeppelin fans. He won’t do a CD and/or show with Page and Jones, because he does not respect or care about the fans. He feels he is above his band-mates, the press, the record companies and his fans.<br /><br />Correction: He jumped in bed and sold out to the record companies when he jumped in bed with them and Alison Krauss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-37062638548403306802010-10-05T15:54:10.983-04:002010-10-05T15:54:10.983-04:00Whether he said it or not, Robert always plays the...Whether he said it or not, Robert always plays the "Led Zeppelin card" when he's promoting his latest's project.<br /><br />Nuvo911Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-89616731832135279912010-10-02T13:26:26.588-04:002010-10-02T13:26:26.588-04:00It's hard to blame Robert Plant for starting t...It's hard to blame Robert Plant for starting the rumor; he didn't say anything in this case that was intended to get anybody's hopes up for a Led Zeppelin reunion.<br /><br />It's also hard to blame the Onion AV Club for starting the rumor; their coverage of the interview certainly didn't stress that one line a lot of people are reading into.<br /><br />That's why I can't blame anybody except the people at Spin and this and that and that ...Steve Sauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262457966963018471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-61865555646231346252010-10-02T12:54:27.006-04:002010-10-02T12:54:27.006-04:00timing of this rumor is interesting...just in time...timing of this rumor is interesting...just in time when Robert Plant has released new album...to be in news for any reason is good, specially when is Led Zepp reunion is mentioned...Robert Plant's rocking days are over...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-58292914427674819722010-10-02T07:23:40.639-04:002010-10-02T07:23:40.639-04:00No problem for the namecheck; you deserve it.

Even having read the original, I can see how a less-than-thorough read of it could give the wrong impression. I think lazy is probably the answer (Occam's Razor could probably push most human problems and mistakes into the 'lazy' category). <br /><br />I'm with you on the motive vs. truth point. To atone, I'm off to notate every secret message heard playing Rolf Harris' version of Stairway backwards.Gerry | Guitarlesshttp://guitarless.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-16594636432761626142010-10-01T21:14:36.910-04:002010-10-01T21:14:36.910-04:00Gerry, thanks for approving and helping me restore...Gerry, thanks for approving and helping me restore sanity, my friend. And thanks for the namecheck in <a href="http://guitarless.com/2010/10/errata-my-name-is-gerry-and-i-am-lazy/" rel="nofollow">your correction</a>. Very generous of you!<br /><br />I notice you were hoodwinked by the misleading coverage at Contactmusic.com. I wonder if the folks there were lazy non-fact-checkers or, y'know, intentionally sensationalistic.<br /><br />Here's another great interview to read if you're interested in finding out just how happy Robert Plant is with the direction he's taken with the Band of Joy. This appeared in the Sunday Times in Western Australia: <a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/arts/durable-plant-not-easily-led/story-e6frg8n6-1225931954135" rel="nofollow">Durable Plant Not So Easily Led</a>. First sentence: "ROBERT Plant is happy with an eclectic, prolific solo career." Put that in those sensationalistic pipes and smoke it!<br /><br />And lest anybody be confused by my motive, I'm not rooting for or against a Led Zeppelin reunion. I'm simply explaining the truth.Steve Sauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262457966963018471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-31071852637244406762010-10-01T19:08:11.239-04:002010-10-01T19:08:11.239-04:00Kudos, Steve.

I've checked through all of the source interview and will right the record tomorrow and restore sanity or at least some semblance (I'd do it now but it's late here and I'm sleepy). <br /><br />Please continue to harangue lazy, non-fact-checkers like me. :-)<br /><br />GerryGerry | Guitarlesshttp://guitarless.comnoreply@blogger.com
