Robert Plant Dismisses Possibility Of Led Zeppelin Reunion

Robert Plant has vowed never to reform supergroup Led Zeppelin for a stadium tour. He says he'd rather sing their classic hits with his new band Strange Sensation at tiny venues to just 1,500 fans, reports Glasgow Sunday Mail.

"I've not been offered vast sums to reform Led Zeppelin. I would never do it anyway," said Plant, 57. "We were a boy band and I'm not a boy any more. I prefer my career to have a bit of dignity now."

Plant cut his teeth as a singer with Band Of Joy -- which also featured the late Zep drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham -- playing Scotland's tough club circuit. He said: "I remember amazing gigs at Ayr Ice Rink and Kirkcaldy YMCA in 1967.

"We'd play songs like 'White Rabbit' by Jefferson Airplane to a bunch of guys in Kirkconnel Miners' Welfare who basically wanted to kick the s *** out of us."

During his 90-minute set to promote his latest solo album, "Mighty Rearranger", Robert dusts off Zep classics "Black Dog" and "Stairway to Heaven". He said: "My show is sometimes a bit of a hard ticket to sell because it's not about nostalgia. I don't want to do a greatest hits-style tour. I want to be thought of alongside people like Tom Waits, Willie Nelson or Alex Chilton ? guys who turn their music around on themselves."

well, damn

[Green Sheep]

yeah it would be nice to see zeppelin go on tour

[A Warm Place]

Yeah Green Sheep, except that Bonham is dead. I know they could hire a drummer, but they're choosing the non cheesey road here. It's cool that they aren't doing the typical reunion thing.

[Robbie n strat]

It wouldn't be Led Zeppelin without John Bonham anyway.

[AnthonyZ Great]

cool

[stoubora]

I'd love to see a reunion. I think Page and Jones would be up for it and they could always get Bonham's son to play drums! Ahh well, we can but hope Plant will change his mind.

[trepkos]

thats a bit selfish of plant, both page and jones wouldnt mind a reunion. robbie n strat is right tho its not led zep without bonzo

[Sun King]

little ****er, get page and jpj in on it plllllz.. then i would do anythhhing to see them.

[Skadogg]

I wouldn't want to see Zep -
a) with an old Jimmy Page
b) with an old Robert Plant
c) without Bonzo

If I couldn't see them 25 or more years ago, I don't want to see them now.

BTW - what makes you think Page and JPJ would want to do a reunion?

[controlfreak]

didn't they have bonzo's son playin with them a while ago? that would be an acceptable line-up in my eyes, as close as your gonna get to the real thing!

[murray_lindsay]

I respect the fact that he doesnt want to do a reunion tour. I think a zep tour would be pretty cool.. i read on the internet that dave grohl would play drums for them if they did a reunion tour.. any truth to that rumor or is it just garbage?

[SMoD]

damn...this sucks

[killing_inc]

there will never be a Led Zep reunion cause we don't have Bonzo, that means it will never happen if they want it or not...

[im not mental]

i never thought he'd refer to led zeppelin as a boy band.

Who cares. Robert Plant is a terrible singer, Led Zepplin might have actually been a good band without him.

[thejester]

pretty pointless news. we have known this forever they have all said the exact same thing. and john kimble are you really that ignorant. "Led Zepp[e]lin might have actually been a good band without him." Wow just blatant stupidity. Opinions are great and you have all the right to acknowledge them but have some respect to someone who probably inspired most of the music you listen to

[Lonely_wolf11]

Robert Plant is a diva.
It`s clear, something happened when bonzo died, and i think robert said: "ok guys is your problem not my".
Tell me why he is alone, while Jon Paul Jones and Jimmy Page have a exelent relacionship?

[AlexSouthwick]

When they reunited for the liveaid thingy it was awful. Thank God theyve learnt from it. I dont think they should reunite but I dont think Plant's new stuff is any good either.

[duncang]

Well I saw Robert Plant and his new band at a festival this year, they played a few Led Zep, and I couldnt care less if it isnt the real thing, it was still bloody amazing. It will never be the real thing without Bonzo, but you cant say seeing Plant, Page and Jones together won't be a great experience!

[Pinkfloydguy]

well obviously there isnt going to be a reunion!
no John Bonham= No Led Zeppelin

[jayr123guitar]

Why become a nostalgic burned out over the hill cover band to yourself anyways. It sure as hell wouldn't be half as good as it was. Some things are better left in the past. Good choice.

[farcry]

Pinkfloydguy:
wel
l obviously there isnt going to be a reunion!
no John Bonham= No Led Zeppelin

well we got Bonham's son, same bloodline, and he is a drummer who in the past said he would do it if they wanted to. He knows all their setlists, it's just been too long though. They're never going to do a reunion of any sort most probably.

[Peterjs]

;(

Rosa died yesterday too

[Mad-Croc]

...I agree

[Panny180]

They'd be too old to reform anyway.
I don't think Jimmy's quite as good as he used to be.

[Scratched]

"We were a boy band and I'm not a boy any more. I prefer my career to have a bit of dignity now."

Did he just call one of the greatest rock bands of all time a boy band? wow...

I know it is his band, but I don't think Zeppelin can be referred to as a boy band.

[jamstation]

the backstreet boys must be so happy :|

[thefinalcut]

I think Bonham would've been proud to see his son play with the rest of Zeppelin, instead of complaining that "This isn't the real Zeppelin."

About Plant's remarks, I hope what he meant about being a boyband that it's just some British expression I can't understand. They would look kinda foolish in there 60s doing Zeppelin stuff. It's great JPJ and Page are on the lvl.

But why rule out playing together again though? Why does Robert seemed to shyoff his Zeppelin days all of a sudden? Oh and why is he playing "Stairway...", I thought Plant hated that song in recent years.

[rolloverdead69]

i reunion would be awesome... but they might just be too old, and with out bonham, its just not led zepplin, its like a salad with out the dressing, when its all together its a salad, but u cant bring back bonham so led zeppelin wouldnt be right with out him...

[kerrang]

rule no. 1 of rock and roll: never EVER grow up

[istandalone]

kerrang wrote:

perfectly said, he wants dignity in his career? he would have the most dignity and respect in the world is he got back together with led zeppelin c'mon man ur robbing the world of great music and music a new generation should be able to see and hear live no just on dvd's and cd's

[Diabolic Clown]

Would be ****in' amazing if they did. However I don't blame the man, it's like the Beatles. They've grown out if it (Or Plant anyways) so let him do what he wants.

actually, dave was aksed in an interview if in the case there'd be a led zeppelin reunion, would he like to play in it, and obviously he said yes but it didn't involve anything, it was just a question
and the more the info was transmitted, the more it was changed so it finally became "there's gonna b a led zep reunion and dave grohl'll play drum in it"

if that makes sense^^

[slash_angus_VH]

led zep a boy band!?!?!?!
prepostrous!
!!

c'mon, let's see a reunion!!

[the_white_bunny]

WELL FUCK YOU PLANT!!!!!
lol hes killin the dreams of many young people who picked up a guitar to learn stair wayto heaven

but shit id go see page play with any one **** plant for not wantin to be in the badest band of all time any more
i hope he dies!

(not really im just pissed that ill never get to see it in my life time)

[slash_angus_VH]

led zep a boy band!?!?!?!
prepostrous!
!!

c'mon, let's see a reunion!!

[Soma3009]

I'm proud of Plant for not wanting a reunion tour. He's old now, and Zeppelin isn't the same live without the bulge.

[Klara]

Nah, i wouldnt like to see zep together again...mostly because it wouldnt be zep without bonzo...by the way i think that dreamland and mighty rearrenger are excellents cds. robert's voice is much better now!!

[applax]

"We were a boy band and I'm not a boy any more."

damn i wish we could have boy bands like that now adays

[Canadiens1160]

So glad they're not reforming ever, ever again.

When they did it at Live Aid it was a freakin' embarrasment, and of course without Bonzo it's not Led Zep.

[Maitinin]

Let's remember them for their immortalized times in the 60's and 70' and not screw the whole thing up with a single show.
Sometimes it's best just to let things be past!

[Nikolette]

As great as it would be to relive the magic that is Led Zeppelin, I don't think it's a good idea. Generally when a band reforms and goes on tour again, it doesn't really do any good for them or their fans. I like them how they were.. I don't know that they'd have the same kind of energy as they did in their prime.

[BassBeats098]

damn hes old

[mrbassman]

I'm seeing him in December backl of the net

[Lint]

i can see why he refers to them as a boy band...and its his choice....what makes everyone so sure that page and jones would want to do a reunion as well?

[liam177lewis]

well it wouldnt be zeppelin without bonham anyways.

[moomin]

Yes dude, you're right.

[bAkUhAtSuHa]

if you look at the lyrics that led zeppelin put in their songs and compare robert plant's music now, i can see why he wouldn't want a reunion. led zeppelin's lyrics were all about girls and drugs and just plain music (pretty boring and overdone). but when you look at Robert Plant's lyrics, they are intellectual (for the most part) and actually have thought put into it. i'm not saying that thought wasn't put into Led Zeppelin's music, but who wants to hear music about total sh*t all the time? go Robert Plant.

[queen471]

yeah, i agree ^^
But, they were origonal for their time (the lyrics)

[X Alkaline 3]

Damnit!!!

[thekevinfoltmer]

i like how he refers to led zeppelin as a boy band.

[GNRmetfan1290]

POR QUE?!?!?!?!?!?!

[dmcphedran]

i didnt find robert plant's concert all that great. I was more disappointed when the f-ed black dog up by adding fancy sounds and new guitar riffs... but man that guy can sing!

[habebe girl]

i understand Robert Plants reasoning,Led Zeppelin was just the ultimate greatest boy band ever, but still a boy band. Theyre all grown up now. And besides i dont think he can Ooo Yeah as well or wear those tight jeans as he could in his prime.lol.

[oarjammer116]

sometimes singers are *******s...nuff said

[hendrixcrazyfan]

a led zep reunion tour would be absolutely fantastic even though bonzo is no longer with us. Pant, why must you be so selfish!!!!!You are ruining it for the rest of us.

[JimiSlashPage]

I don't mind that he doesn't want to do another Led Zeppelin tour... But a boy band?

[glowsun02]

as it has been said...i agree with...
John Bonham was a very important key to Led Zeppelin.
Playing without him would be like puting together a puzzle but only 3/4 of the pieces are there. Bonzo was a big part of Led Zeppelin's sound, a sound that can never again be reproduced.

[JimmieRayVai]

meh. judas priest, the eagles, black sabbath, and the rolling stones have the reunion market cornered anyway....

[ledfilly]

Damn, they were one bad ass boy band then

[danno89]

yeh it would be great in a sense but no matter what any one says it will never be the same without bonzo, nothing would be right, i cant say what i mean cus i dont know how, hopefully you will know what i mean.
Also i would like to say that John Kimble, you are an arse. Led Zeppelin were and are the best band that there has ever been. I wish i had been around to see them, but hey, i wasn't they ent guna reunite n well, i think its for the best.

[metal_classic]

i would kill someone for a chance to meet jimmy page, shit if i could meet jimmy page john paul jones and robet plant? id kill somone infront of their own momma to see that!!

[syyz1]

They wouldn't have been that good, but I still would have killed to see them.

[Constantine]

It would be kick *** to see a Zeppelin reunion, but at least they're respecting Bonham by not replacing him.

[PyroPunK032]

wtf. he is crap
subborn rich people

[Gutch220]

I'm glad they're not "reforming" or touring as Led Zeppelin. Its a testament to their greatness

[Metallica420]

Yeah it would be nice to see them go in tour and have a reunion and all that jazz but it would just be sad without Bonzo

[ValhallaAxeSDMF]

What an *******. Led Zeppelin was great. It was probably the last good thing that idiot drug addict did.

[ValhallaAxeSDMF]

What an *******. Led Zeppelin was great. It was probably the last good thing that idiot drug addict did.

[emoaintthatbad?]

god damn you plant and your stuber?stubber? ness

[ValhallaAxeSDMF]

If you're not gonna play boyband music, regroup and write new material.

[RandyismyIdol]

He prefers his career to have a bit of dignity now? It didn't have dignity before with Zeppelin? How many people can say they've been in Led Zeppelin? I mean wow. There's something screwed up about that.

[Kadaj]

He says they're not reforming for a reunion tour of stadiums, he doesn't say anything about never reforming for one offs.

On a side note, I went to his local pub last week.

[winston_high]

i would much rather, and i think this is what plant was getting at, have led zeppelin be remembered as one of the greatest rock bands known to mankind, instead of those old guys who wish they rocked half as hard as they used to. i mean, if they come back together, it wouldnt even come close to the music they used to play, and it would totally destroy their image. As we have all learned from Aerosmith, 40 something ex-cokeheads suck

[wilty00]

I thought his live show was horrible when he came here.

[deadboy]

hmm
i love led zeppelin
i geuss that goes without saying lol

[painedexpress]

Ah, perhaps he's tired of having people remind him of Spirit, Blind Willie Johnson, Joan Baez, etc. I know I would be. It's time to go on and write a few more original songs before he dies. Not that the songs they played were horrible, hell I probably couldn't do any of that stuff, but they did illegally take some material from other artists.

[Zoso68]

idk maybe its for the best to mantain their image as only playing as the full band but that was the first one on my "before they die" concert list

[TrappedUnderIce]

He looks alot like Anthony Hopkins in that picture.

[DeathCab4Cutie]

What Are Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones up to these days?

[pats88]

He looks alot like Anthony Hopkins in that picture.

haha yes very true.. hahahaha.. long live zeppelin..

[super_cubby]

i died inside

[psychodelia]

I'm glad Zep isn't reuniting... he put it well, let them keep their dignity. Don't ruin Zep's name by dragging it out.

[^(^.^<)(>^.^)^]

That sucks balls

[Farmer Frances]

"We were a boy band..."
-Plant

Boy band my ass, Led Zeppelin were the godfathers of metal. Wth's his problem?

[metalhippie]

well that sucks!

[metalhippie]

hes gettin old but he can still sing

[metalhippie]

well that sucks!

you cant have a reunion with a dead drummer.

besides...let's remember zep as they were in their glory days...not 25 years later.

[verona_bassist]

well, i understand the fact, that, theyre old people, and that old people playin rock n roll isnt really a good thing but.....ITS LED ZEPPELIN!!!!WHO THE HELL CARES HOW OLD THEY ARE!?!?


i want reunion...

[kurtshapedbox]

well at least hes not sellin out.

[captain_bunker]

man robert plant is the shit

[dethhead]

John Kimble, in my opinion, you're right to some degree. Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands, but sometimes I think that Robert Plant should sing a little differently in some songs.

[fireoptic]

"I've not been offered vast sums to reform Led Zeppelin"

dude who cares about money.. i thought Robert Plant would have been better than that.

[joejames007]

Sure we would all like to see Led Zep again, but think about it, Robert Plant is right in doing this because he has evolved to a different kind of sound, and also, what if they sucked??? you wouldn't have the same thoughts about them right???

[Tattoo158]

Who cares. Robert Plant is a terrible singer, Led Zepplin might have actually been a good band without him.

john kimble you are a moron.
first of all robert plant was the greatest rock and roll voice of all time.
second they were actually a good band, not only were they were a good band but they were ****ing awsome band.

even though i woudlnt want to see a renunion tour.
just cause it wouldnt seem right.

[v_gamer]

Im sure that i am not the only one who only ever picked up a guitar after hearing stairway to heaven. i have seen the DVD and its incredible. i dont care how old they are, i would love to see a tour. i bet anybody here that wasnt even alive in that era wishes everyday that they could have been alive for just one zep show. i would kill to jimmy page play stairway.

[Spade_SanosukeX]

Time to put money aside just incase.

[insanejuggaloo]

scratch is right how the **** did led end up being a boy band? i can see saying that about the beatles but not led. i robert is being a stuck up little pussy but its his chose to kill his carrer.

[doctorEvil]

They were great, they are great and they will be great. I really do not think reunion of Led Zep is good idea. Does anybody remeber such trail with The Doors without Jim Morrison and Queen without our lovely Freddy? Respect Led Zeppelin!

[rock_the_casbah]

Jason Bonham, is a great drummer. He played on Jimmy Page's solo album 'Outrider'.

[slashlover]

cmon doesnt every zep-fan want a reunion?? i just think its disrespect for fans! btw does the rest of zep want a reunion?

[ZoSo183]

dude that sucks, what about the fans

[Diceman42]

BOY BAND?!

[Craig01]

plant is a slut

[original_rocker]

A reunion would be very cool, BUT if you know that not all of the (alive) members are completely up for it, it kind of ruins it a little.

[danno89]

I think Zep were like the real madrid of music, real madrid buy al the best players and have become one of the most recognised football teams ever. Led Zeppelin had all the best players too, Jimmy page in my view is THE best guitarist the world has ever seen (Better than hendrix) JPJ is an emense musician- Bass, Keyboard, Banjo, Mandelin, Harmonica(i think) and he plays all of them with the quality that jimmy plays guitar, he ent just sum 1 hu can play a lot of stuff. He's sum 1 hu can play a lot of stuff, brilliantly. Bonzo, well, ask anyone who knows anything about music who the best drummer of all time is/was and they would say Bonzo. Any self respecting drummer would agree. And robert plant... the best at what he does. So led zep have got, the best guitarist, bassist, keyboard"ist", singer"ist" and drummer "ist" so they are and were the best "ist"

[Muggus]

Ah well, my hearts broken for good now.

I still stick by the fact I should have been born 30 years earlier...although that would make me older than my parents. :P

[IAMTHEEGGMAN...]

Even if they did reunite, as if the tickets wouldn't be grossly overpriced and hard to get.

[Rock'n'roll]

Led Zeppelin were, in my opinion, the best rock band ever, they had the best combination of musical talent, Jimi Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham.... but i am glad they are not re-uniting.... they will ramain legend!!

[demez]

Muggus said it

[danno89]

i think the person who thinks he is "THEGMAN" hit the nail on the head with ticket prices and availablity

[danno89]

Whatever happened to "Page and Plant"?

[KENZI]

good on the guy

[korinaflyingv]

wtf? a reunion tour imo would be shit

[appetite]

^^^true, but Led Zep' were one hell of a band, one of the best!

I hope their music lives on forever. I'm sure it will aswell

[Connerrado]

AWWW, MAN!!!!! I DONT BELIEVE IT!!!!! MAN!!! THAT F*&%ING BLOWS LIKE THE WIND!!!!!

[MoshMaster101]

Good! I think that if they reformed it would totally ruin the whole thing. They're one of my favourite bands, but it just wouldn't be the same, I feel. Its the same with Pink Floyd really. Just leave it alone like.

[MoBscene]

they could get his son?

[oarjammer116]

now that i think about it...LZ would probably suck if they reunited...oh well...sometimes you gotta know when to stop.

a good man knows his limitations

[AlexSouthwick]

The live aid 85 concert was so bad when they did a reunion, that they went to great lengths to stop the concert being shown on the dvd, they obviously thought it was an embarrassment, and as if theyre gonna be any better 20 years on. Zep are my favourite band but even on the live led zep dvd, in 1979 with Bonzo they werent fantastic, well they rocked, but if you compare it to the 1970-1975 stuff it aint great....

[Green_Day_Rock]

ouch...oh well.

I've never heard such rubbish! You're listening to the individual tracks, if you listen to the whole of Led Zeppelin IV for example, it's a journey of 'Percy' and his encounters and memories, powerful stuff. I don't think Led Zeppelin should re-unite permanently like Motley Crue have done, why not go on tour to celebrate the fact that 25 years ago John Bonham passed away. Zeppelin have so many young fans and they should be able to see the greatest Band of all time. (Yes I am one of those young fans )

[wabusy33]

Who would be the best drummer to fill in for bohman in a reunion? None other than Neil Peart of rush. Sure his son would be great but i've never heard him play and just because his daddy was a good drummer doesn't make him one of the greatest drummers of all time.

Robert Plant is a great singer but sometimes he strikes me as a bit of a douche...I mean Plant is only a fraction of what made Zeppelin great. From the interview he acts like he has surpassed Zeppelin's success. And who knew Zeppelin was a boy band?!...

Yeah...and the only drummer that can even come close to Bonzo would be Neil Peart

I honestly dont know if they would be good. Of they actually made a playlist for A reunion tour concert and practiced it for awhile it would be great. On the other hand it might be horrible.

[frothies]

Damn...

Oh well; I would pretty much be against the plan for a reunion if one member is missing. Though, the idea of Jason taking over the drums would be quite interesting to see.

And please! Travel over my location or where I'm at in htat point of time. They are the number one on my "[u]Band[/i] to See before Dying" list! [lmao! pun intended!]

But I understand Percy's decision... still sad though.

Hallelujah. I do hope that would happen.

[jaggerbush320]

I personnally think that Plant has lost his touch, and that's the reason he won't tour with Zeppelin. Jason Bonham is a great drummer, while I do agree that he could never completely replace his father. In my opinion John Bonham was the greatest drummer that ever lived. If Robert Plant really wanted to go on tour, they could, they could find a way to make it work. I agree wih RockDragon, I need to see Led Zeppelin while I still can, I don't think Robert Plant understands that he won't live forever, he can't put off touring for 20 years when he might feel like it. If Plant wants to buy a stairway to heaven, this is not the way to go about it.

Yeah Green Sheep, except that Bonham is dead. I know they could hire a drummer, but they're choosing the non cheesey road here. It's cool that they aren't doing the typical reunion thing.

then why not do a non-typical reunion thing?
to see the people that make me happy just by listening to them, wether theyre young or old, would make me the happiest person on earth.
it's ok if they don't reunite, it's just the false hope that was given to us that makes me feel like shit.
I just hope they understand that time is running out, i mean, the rock n roll never grow up stuff is only mental, physically Plant's allready 57..

k, dont do it for the money, but you should do it for the people who never got a chance to see you when you were still young. we love you just as much you know (:

if you look at the lyrics that led zeppelin put in their songs and compare robert plant's music now, i can see why he wouldn't want a reunion. led zeppelin's lyrics were all about girls and drugs and just plain music (pretty boring and overdone). but when you look at Robert Plant's lyrics, they are intellectual (for the most part) and actually have thought put into it. i'm not saying that thought wasn't put into Led Zeppelin's music, but who wants to hear music about total sh*t all the time? go Robert Plant.
I've never heard such rubbish! You're listening to the individual tracks, if you listen to the whole of Led Zeppelin IV for example, it's a journey of 'Percy' and his encounters and memories, powerful stuff. I don't think Led Zeppelin should re-unite permanently like Motley Crue have done, why not go on tour to celebrate the fact that 25 years ago John Bonham passed away. Zeppelin have so many young fans and they should be able to see the greatest Band of all time. (Yes I am one of those young fans )

i have always wanted to see led zeppelin live but never have gotten the chance to. it would be awesome if zeppelin had a reunion tour. i am one of those young fans also and it would be insane if that happened
