Re: 3 J's for Glastonbury??

I don't know Nech. I think Plants motivations are far deeper than his desire to sing "Deliverance" music. I think his fear, if that be the right word, is genuine and I can understand it to a degree. First off, his voice simply isn't what the music of Led Zeppelin demands it be. Mind you, he did great at the O2. But he did struggle a time or two as well. Also, what the O2 represented was the affirmation once again that Led Zeppelin was/is the greatest band ever, hands down. They proved it beyond all doubt. I think Robert genuinely fears that a tour, even a brief one, may result in a few not so great performances which would ultimately destroy what they so brilliantly accomplished last December. Were they to play poorly, even once. The levee would surely break and the worlds press would condemn them for even trying. To me this is no small matter. And as much as I would love to see them do it again. It is a huge gamble that I can't completely blame Robert for not wanting to take. None of that however forces Jimmy to sit at home and thumb his remote endlessly. 

:O)

Thanks Suzanne for some humorous reading...


"Bottom line is that the whole thing is one big Catch-22. Guys from a
once-famous band that hasn't done anything in years want to tour and play
the songs that made them famous, and the lead singer is still alive but
doesn't want to. Who's right? "

Does Plant Care About His Fans?

There's only one guy who can fix all this. All the begging & pleading from
fans is falling on deaf ears, and former bandmates have been given the
brush-off through press denials. But yeah, you know who can fix it. Robert
Plant. Unfortunately Plant doesn't care about the gazillions of dollars he'd 
get for a Led Zeppelin tour, which is good; but he also doesn't care about
the fact that so many people, from so many generations, love the music of
Led Zeppelin and would drop everything to see them live, just once or one
more time; even if it is without John Bonham. The fans. His fans.

But the reality is that Plant would rather play music that would make the
inbred kid in Deliverance smile big to show off his tooth. And J3 is
readying to tour without him. What we really need here is the peanut butter 
and the chocolate. And if Plant doesn't come around and change his mind
before J3 is ready to hit the road, then God help us: it just might cause a 
Creed reunion.
