Return of...(nothing to do with LOTR)

[Jesus Chicken]

[color=blue]Led Zepplin!!!

So far I've heard nothing as reliable as I would have liked to on this topic, but I've heard plenty of rumours about it. I've read a few things in Rolling Stone and a couple of other music mags that are printed in Australia.
Normally along the lines of
[I]"Dave Grolh is rumoured to be the main contender for the drumming spot in Led Zepplin, who are reforming some time next year."[/I]
Still, so far most of these things seem to be strong rumours, with no hard evidence as of yet. Due to this, I was just wondering if any of the more knowledgeable folk up here on OB have heard anything on the return of Zepplin.[/color]

[size=1] No, I haven't heh. I would like to see them come back together on one hand...but I know by doing this, they wouldn't be as good as they used to be in some fashions--mainly being the John Bonham would no longer be their drummer.

I don't know. They're rock Gods, and if they come back...I see it sort of as something which could taint that. Not that I wouldn't love to see them back...but really, what they've made in the past is a lot to live up to today.[/size]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]To hell with Jet, to hell with the Datsuns, to hell with the Strokes, to hell with all the other so called "saviours of rock", this is what we need. Some good ol' real music. And I'm going to stab Triple J in the eyes if they don't play it.

John Bonham would be good, but I can accept Dave Grohl, even if he is a band whore....(Local joke)[/font][/color]

Grohl will sure have a great list of bands under his belt if this turns out. Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age... plus some random stuff I can never remember. He really is a great drummer though, so I can't say I would mind it.

However, I'm mixed on this. Just as I was with the Pixies getting back together. When I first heard about that, I was really excited... but that wore away into more of a worry and a question of "Why?"

I can't answer that, but if it is true... I hope it works out and they don't do a CD with a million and one pop-rock and hip hop guests sing on every track. I don't want another Santana.

I have also heard of this, but it has indeed been only rumours. I would love to see Zepplin out agian, but like Mitch said, you don't want them to come out, then bring out some crappy drivelle that is nothing compared to the classic hits and then ruin the whole reputation. Instead of Led Zepplin the Rock Gods! to Led Zepplin the Has-Beens Who Were Revamped And Couldn't Hack It. However, like the rest have said, i wouldn't mind Dave being a replacemnt ^^. Also Harlequin, that is funny becuase i call Dave "The Slut of The Rock Industry" as is "Pharrel - The Slut of The Rap Industry".
