plant in rolling stone - zep reunion?



Taken from Rolling Stone online.. July 22, 2002
David fricke, interviewing Plant.



Were you tired of playing Zeppelin songs after the "No Quarter" tour with 
Jimmy Page?

No, it was a pleasure. I just left the game. I said, "I love you, production 
office and backstage catering. But I've gotta go now." I wanted to do these 
songs. When I came home from rehearsals, I would play these songs in the 
car, and my kid -- he's only four -- would hear the guitars in Love's "A 
House Is Not a Motel" and go, "Dad, did you write that? Is that one of 
yours?" I said no. But it is mine, because it's inside of me.

Is Zeppelin finally over -- no more reunions?

I don't want to be the scoundrel or the catalyst. There was talk not long 
ago of Jimmy and I doing a blues album. We could do one really well, yet the 
quality of what we might do would be lost in the fact that it's an area 
that's been exhausted. But these things come and go. If Jimmy rang and said, 
"Do you want to come and sing on something?" I can't see any reason why I 
shouldn't
