In the new issue of Rolling Stone — on stands and online in the digital archives now (subscription required) — Robert Plant explains to writer Stephen Rodrick why he was unwilling to keep performing with Led Zeppelin after their 2007 reunion concert.

"It was an amazing evening," Plant says. "The preparations for it were fraught and intense, but the last rehearsal was really, really good, for all that it represented and all that we were trying to capture. But I've gone so far somewhere else that I almost can't relate to it...It's a bit of a pain in the pisser to be honest. Who cares? I know people care, but think about it from my angle — soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street."

It wouldn't be the same, and it would piss a bunch of Led Zeppelin purists off, but they should just go for the next best thing and get David Coverdale to sing in his place.

No.  Bonham is dead, Page can't play as well as he used to, Jones simply doesn't care. 


LET IT GO, PEOPLE.


Or, piss everyone off, and get Jack White to do it.

I think Jason Bonham has done a pretty good job of filling in.  He's not quite as crazy as John was, but he's a pretty good drummer, I think.

Robert Plant's voice still sounds amazingly good, which you can't say for many other rockers of his generation, but yeah what LMNO said.

[Whatever]

The title of this thread gave me a glimmer of hope which is now dead

I was quite shocked to see how old looking they are now. But of course, that makes sense. Their music is 40 years old.

And  Jack White. Just for existing.

Yes, but  for the existence of his "sister". 

[Epimetheus]

Did I miss a memo? What's wrong with Jack White?

[Phox]

Yes, but  for the existence of his "sister".

You no likey the Meg?

He just annoys the piss out of me.

I was  about the "sister" thing...

Meg White is hideous, and a worse drummer than the parkinsons kid in that famous gif.

Jack White is a guitar genius, but it's not the right kind of genius to mesh with Led Zeppelin.

I've seen pics where Meg looks good, but I suspect a lot of lighting, camera angles and shoop-de-loop were behind it.

Which is probably why Jack wont admit to have actually been married to her.
