Great hypothetical, and I hope to see some honest answers to the
question. But I can already foresee what Nech's will be, based on his
earlier comment, "I would prefer a couple of other cats...."

     Wow! You know me like the palm of your right hand! ; )

Here's a fact I would like to know:  that Plant is not the mighty rearranger
but
the people he surrounds himself with are responsible for the
rearrangements, does this let Plant off the hook in your eyes, people?

  So you're saying that if we were to believe Plant is nothing more than a
puppet...no...where's the integrity man?


 And I think he likes stunning audiences that
way. Isn't that taking a risk?

  Well, therein lies the problem...it's NOT stunning anymore..it's become
predictable and repetitive...Now had he come out and did a vocal throwdown
and really rocked it against say even an Adam Lambert...then I'd be stunned
and consider it a risk. Mellowed out, afro beated..is taking the easy way
out IMO. Yes, his voice sounds good...I mean really...where's the risk ?
Where's the true innovation ? Where have your balls gone Percy?

Anyway, it's Plant's choice to play a Zeppelin song or not. And these
next questions are directed toward those of you who are saying he
should drop all Zeppelin songs since he seems so intent on not making
any music with the other Zeppelin guys. Is that really what you want?
Would you avoid Robert Plant coming to your town to play a concert
simply because you know he's playing Zeppelin songs? And if that's the
case, then would you DEFINITELY go to a Robert Plant concert in your
town if you knew he was going to play all new material and not a
single thing from his past?



  I have already missed plenty of Plant concerts by choice.



 In other words, if Them Crooked Vultures
scheduled a gig in your town, would you be undecided about going
simply based on the fact that you haven't heard any of their music and
you were rather certain they wouldn't be doing a single song from
Jonesy's past?

I hope all of you within a reasonable distance of a Vultures show were
enthusiastically trying to get tickets when they went on sale, barring
family emergencies and the like, or else you look pretty hypocritical.

  If they were close to home. I'D BE THERE MOFO!!!! And you know that
too...check your left palm.
