RE: JEFF BECK - BECK: 'LED ZEPPELIN SHOULD STOP NOW'

["Joe Armendariz" <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Beck is right. But then again we all know that "Zeppelin" proper won't
go on the road without Plant anyway. So the issue is what will the three
J's do in the meantime. I continue to hope and pray (ok I haven't prayed
about this) that they do nothing rash and instead jam, jam, jam and wait
for Plant to finish his escapades with AK and joins them in the studio
to record several new songs.

British rocker JEFF BECK has slammed LED ZEPPELIN's comeback plans - 
insisting it will be pointless without former lead singer ROBERT PLANT.
The 64-year-old legend - who played in cult British act The Yardbirds 
with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page - praised the band's huge one-off

concert <#> at London's O2 Arena last December (07).
But Beck argues plans for a full-blown tour should be shelved without 
Plant, who has repeatedly refused to join his old band mates full-time.
He says, "I really don't think it's a good idea, not if Robert doesn't 
want to. I was there at the one-off show at the O2 Arena and it was 
fantastic. But I think they should just leave it there.
"They will have been offered loads of money and it'll be tempting but 
that's not a good enough reason to me.
"It would be different if they all wanted to do it and record new 
material but that's not the case."
Plant finally killed speculation he would rejoin the band in September 
(08) by stating he has, "no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone 
for at least the next two years."
His recent single with Alison Krauss, Please Read The Letter, has been 
nominated for Record of the Year at this year's (08) Grammy Awards.
