We already knew that Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones put some thought into getting back together without Robert Plant after Led Zeppelin's triumphant one-off reunion show in 2007, but in a recent interview, the pair delved into just how close they came to starting a new band.
As previously reported here, Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant has lent his incomparable vocal chords to the forthcoming album by UK indie rockers Primal Scream.
We may still be waiting for details of Jimmy Page's alleged 2013 solo tour, but we do know of at least one place we'll be able to see the former Led Zeppelin guitarist this year: In the photo spreads for menswear designer John Varvatos' next ad campaign.
January 14, 2013 What do you get when you mix the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" with Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love?" Surprisingly, a pretty cool mash-up! While some mash-ups can be like listening to nails on a chalkboard and extremely disrespectful to the music that has been butchered, in this case it's quite the opposite. Check out this amazing re-mix after the jump.
Mash-ups - the art of taking elements of two or more songs and creating something new out of them - are a hit-or-miss proposition. Too often the songs don't match up musically in an attempt to create an interesting or ironic juxtaposition.
January 2, 2013 On this date in 1969, Led Zeppelin played the first of a four night stay at the Whisky-A-Go-Go nightclub on Sunset Stripe in Hollywood and the opening act was Alice Cooper.
I bet the ticket price was something like 3 bucks.
Kid Rock, the Foo Fighters and Lenny Kravitz took turns tearing through short versions of Led Zeppelin classics during the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to the band, which aired last night (Dec. 26) on CBS.
In a performance that had Robert Plant on the verge of tears, Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart sang 'Stairway to Heaven' as the finale of a star-studded musical tribute to Led Zeppelin during the Kennedy Center Honors, which were broadcast last night (Dec. 26) on CBS.
They might be rolling out their new concert film with all the pomp and circumstance of a full-fledged studio album, but that doesn't mean the surviving members of Led Zeppelin are making any plans for future projects.
Led Zeppelin have had a big 30 days, including the release of 'Celebration Day' and being honored at the Kennedy Center Honors earlier this month. It doesn't seem likely the momentum will carry in 2013, however. During a recent interview with Charlie Rose on CBS singer Robert Plant explains he's looking for different creative endeavors.
In news that should (but really probably won't) quell those persistent Led Zeppelin reunion rumors, guitarist Jimmy Page has revealed he intends to hit the road for a solo tour next year.
Well, we lost that bet. Like most people, we assumed that when Led Zeppelin showed up for a 'Late Show with David Letterman' interview last night (Dec. 3), John Paul Jones would sit quietly in the furthest chair as Robert Plant did most of the talking. Instead, the eternally underrated Jones took the lead and basically charmed the pants off the studio audience.
