Question of the day #3 (New P/P material)

[Kevin Kreis <cukk13@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Badgeholders,
I, along with most of you, can hardly wait for the new P/P album to come
out!!!  I honestly am more anxious for that than the BBC Sessions since I
have heard most of the BBC recordings already.  But what I am mostly
interested in is the style of music that they are going to play.  Jimmy has
already said that their last album consisted of an orchestra and Egyptian
ensemble that added to much of the music, but this time it is strictly
guitar, bass, and drums.  I don't know about most of you, but the whole
orchestra thing kind of turned me off to much of the new P/P material that
came out in 94.  I always looked at Led Zeppelin as the guitar, bass, and
drums kind of band...and maybe that is why I am so anxious about this new
album. Sort of going back to their roots I take it.  The question is this,
do Robert and Jimmy still have it in them to put out material that will last
a lifetime, just as the Zeppelin material has done over the past 20 years? I
am not in any way trying to compare Led Zeppelin to Page and Plant, for
there will never be another Led Zeppelin.  But does the heart of Led
Zeppelin still beat as strong as it did 20 years ago?

Just a thought...
Kevin
