Should Led Zeppelin Record New Album With Guest Singers?

According to The Pulse of Radio, David Coverdale says he told Jimmy Page to back off on trying to reunite Led Zeppelin for a world tour and record a band album with superstar guest vocalists. Coverdale, who teamed up with Page for the short-lived 1993 Coverdale-Page album and tour, explained to Uncut, "My suggestion to him when I saw him in the summer was to do what Carlos Santana did with 'Supernatural'. Get a selection of people in, because there's no question John Paul Jones writes fucking kick-ass music. I said Joe Elliott and me would come in and do a track rather than the focus be on one person."

He went on to say, "Will people be willing to see three-quarters of the family with a guest — a cousin twice removed? I'm as curious as anyone to see how it works out... Change is good as long as you fucking deliver. I hope it comes together for him because, Jesus, he deserves it."

Coverdale says that his most cherished collaboration was his 1993 team-up with Page, which led him to rethink how he chooses guitarists. "When I worked with Jimmy Page, that was totally inspiring for me, and you can hear that on the Coverdale-Page album," he said. "And that was a great parameter for me to look at. The only people I would be prepared to work with are ones who would, who I'd feel could drive me, inspire me to go for notes I've never gone for before."

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

i'd be just as happy with a new album as a world tour, theres no worry about trying to get tickets then.

[AEnima18]

yeah its a misleading title, but imagine a whole album of Led Zep with special guest singers. makes you wonder who they'd get on it...

chris cornell? dave grohl? myles kennedy? axl rose? david coverdale? joe elliot?

well im aloud to dream...

[luvsmygf13]

I don't wanna see Led Zeppelin without Plant.
It just doesn't seem right.

[scubasteve41]

Absolutely not.

If they do this, it should not be called Led Zeppelin. Call it something else. We all know Page and Jones can write kick ass music, but with other people it's not Led Zeppelin.

[Les Paul Ell]

I'd love to hear David Coverdale and Joe Elliot with JPJ and Page! I really doubt that they'd ever get on with it and do the album though, Led Zeppelin seem seriously slow in getting anything done fast.

[The Frayed End]

Their name shouldn't be Led Zeppelin then. No Led Zeppelin without Plant. God, I wanna see them so badly but not with some guests. With Plant.

[GNRjungle87]

Sounds like he just really wants to play with Page again...

I'd buy the album if they actually did it though.

[Silas S Thompso]

If anything do a small tour with coverdale. But not a new album, unless Rob agreed to do it eventually.

[Melodic_Rocker]

It's not right... only 2 members of Led Zeppelin is not Led Zeppelin, sorry. Not a problem if they want to make a new band.

[tona_107]

Good to see people recognize that John Paul Jones is the fucking man.

[nickyjohnson]

in answer to the thread title,yes yes they should do an album with a couple of guest singers.

they did a gig without their original drummer,i dont see the problem with going ahead without plant and doing a new album,and hopefully a tour.i know i'd pay to see them.

as long as they don't do an axl rose and **** it all up

[kurko26]

naa i don't think so..led zep will never be the same without plant and bonzo

[thegrungyhippie]

NO

[Black-Metal]

they could do it, it would be interesting.
just not under the name of led zeppelin

[TheGallowsPole]

It may be good, in fact I would bank on it being good with Page and Jones playing on it.

But it wouldn't be Led Zeppelin.

[metalmania616]

Yes, but don't call it a Led Zeppelin album, give it an obvious name, but without Plant, it can't be Zep. That's my opinion.

[digman50]

hope hannah montanas singing on this album!!!

this could be worth watching

[edbert]

they shouldn't call it led zeppelin if they do

[von tratt]

I could enjoy a concert like that as long as it's not called led zeppelin.

[fireoptic]

Led Zeppelin should have ended in 1980 with the death of Bonham. Plants days as a singer should have been over in 77, where he butchered many of his songs. Live Aide was crap, and so was the 96 Page/Plant tour. Everyone should have expected that the reunion would be trash, and it was. Zeppelin should be done, they've embarassed themselves enough. Although, the Coverdale/Page album was great. I would do ANYTHING to NOT hear Zeppelin with Joe Elliot.

[thoriswar]

sorry to say this but the only person who could even come close to singing for led zep would be Chris Robinson from the black crows

[Comeback Kiddd]

F**K NO they shouldnt. look at what happened with Queen :[

[GoToSleep]

It would be tight if they did an album with a bunch of people, JPJ has got to be in there or they shouldn't do it. Otherwise Page should do solo material.

[spacebass45]

page went on tour with the black crowes awhile back, and chris robinson did an AMAZING job singing the zep tunes. why has no one in the national media realized this? good job, thoriswar!

[Nick_porter333]

What happened to the idea of using Myles Kennedy?

[Restlesscow]

Would be interesting to hear... Though another JPJ album will be good enough for me =D

[peachygnr]

fair enough. their entitled to tour if they want because look their gods they want to tour. I dont think its right to go ahead without plant but even if they went ahead as something else would be nice.

[51VH50]

i just dont want them to call them selves zep. because they wouldnt be.

[Tyler Durden]

no tour
no album

Zeppelin ended when Bonham died, leave it that way

[MasterExploder0]

Why does Page look like Mr. Sulu??

[Quicksand15]

Tyler Durden wrote:

exactly. they could form a new band with a new sound though...

[cloud.connected]

Zeppelin was one of the greatest bands of all time. But, honestly, the idea of a new album and a world tour sounds fantastic in theory, it just won't work.
And I totally agree with Tyler Durden, Zeppelin ended when Bonham died, they need to leave it that way.

[Joe4/4/1992]

i dont get why people are saying that the new band should not be allowed to be called Led Zeppelin, what about Guns 'n' Roses? One original member and they're still using the name Guns 'n' Roses

Having said that i do agree that neither of these bands should still be using the're old names due to lack of original members.
It's a new era of bands therefore the legends should be allowed to rest imo

[SKAtastic7770]

Led Zepplin wouldnt be the same without plant. His unique voice makes them most recognizable.

[coquet]

Everybody say it together now:

"NO!"

[dRummeR94]

I still don't understand why Plant doesn't want to sing with them. Could someone please explain?

[Anteater]

They shouldn't be considered Led Zeppelin without Plant (or John Bonham).

I'm totally fine with Page, Jones, and Little-Bonham wanting to go on and make a new album, but I don't think they should call it a Led Zeppelin album.

[1sheldon]

i guess, wouldn't be close as good tho, like GNR, one remaining member

[classicrockboy]

absolutely not. guest singers always kill the band's sound. have you heard Queen's new song "Celebrity"? it SUCKS. The vocalist is one of the most important parts of the band that give them their sound.

[SayHello2Heaven]

Look, A Singer doesn't always make the band. If the Musicians are good enough, it'll be great regardless. Look at AcDc. How about VanHalen? Plant didn't make the band. Bonham and Page did. Jason plays drums like His dad well enough to record in studio. Page's studio work has always been better than his live performances. Get a few new voices in there. I promise, you won't be dissapointed!

[SayHello2Heaven]

Plus, What about the Chili Peppers? They lost Slovak and Frusciante. Playing with Chad Smith and Navarro for One Hot Minute (they only had 2 original members of the band). Was that not still RHCP?

[DeathzMetal666]

HELL NO!.

[new_guitar]

i think it would be cool.

[Casta44]

Yes. Miles Kennedy from Alter Bride or Chris Cornell from Audioslave/Soundgarden

[Pure_Morning]

I've just got back in to Led Zep (Presence, as an album is just epic), and I just would hate to have them back touring etc.

They're in the past and should stay there, rather than having their reputation tainted by a lousy comeback.

[ShameofaNation]

The Louisville Orchestra work with a Led Zeppelin Tribure Band. The guy that sang sounded just like Robert Plant!

[Thebridge]

JPJ is the man.

[SuicidalFreak]

Should Led Zeppelin Record New Album With Guest Singers?

No, never! Led Zeppelin is only the same with Robert Plant. It always has and it always will. Hiring a new singer for Led Zeppelin is just crazy, this is kind of like Chris Novoselic and Dave Grohl wanting to resurrect Nirvana with a replacement for Kurt Cobain.

I agree to those that say "no" or "that's never going to happen", because there's no reason to replace a guy who's responsible for reforming a band. You'll just ruin it for everyone.

[CrazyPigeon]

Should get Chester from Linkin Park. Despite what people say he has an amazing voice.

[BassFishin]

yes. yes. YES. Except they should call it something other than led zeppelin, i suppose. but i don't think it would be a BAD thing.

I couldn't agree more, SuicidalFreak. If Jimmy and John Paul wanted to form a band with a new singer/drummer, it could never be Led Zeppelin.

[maxxbuckeye54]

Zep on tour + Jack Black special guest vocal = me buying a ticket!

[SayHello2Heaven]

idiotic puritians.

[FrayedSanity]

If they did this hopefully they'd get Jack Russell from Great White in on it. His voice is uncannily reminiscent of Robert Plant's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bddULHM0bxM

[shwilly]

But they should tour

[Stitches.]

No to everything.
No touring,no new singers,no new album.
Just stop.

[ready2breakdown]

no idea what it would sound but at least the guy is thinking. That would probably be a really good idea, but "Supernatural" had SO MANY HITS that if it wasn't on par, it would totally free like a failure. I'd love to see them try it though, I never would have thought of anyone else attempting that.

At this point, I'd just wanna see Zeppelin make a damn move already. Everything is up in the air or being rumored and the longer they wait to make a move, the longer people are going to keep saying shit. I don't care what you think, the bands do hear about these rumors all the time. Either word of mouth or interviews. You know how annoying it is hearing everybody talk about something that isn't close to the truth. All this talking about what is going to happen(from them or outsiders who have no place to really talk about it either) is creating a cycle that leads to nothing.

[Guitar}Zero]

CrazyPigeon :

OK, now for fun try to imagine chester singing dyer maker or going to california...or anything really, just no

[dgme92]

They shouldn't even consider it. Some things just should be left alone, like the Led Zeppelin legacy. It would be great if they did a few more shows, but not a full blown tour. Especially not without Robert Plant anyway. He IS Led Zeppelin to me. Led Zeppelin without that voice is just another blues rock band.

[GettintheLedout]

Do both the album and the tour, but don't call the band Led Zeppelin.

[GuitarSymphony]

Whatever.
I don't care about Led Zeppelin or any of it's members until I get some solid actual news about them doing really anything.

[UrMomsMom]

OUhhh so we cant swear but UG can...

anyway... I would still buy it if they do come up with it.. but to be honest only because its by led zeppelin...

[MrGoodyear812]

I just want Grohl to play drums! As well as do some guest vocals.....I would be in heaven! (Probably so would he....lol)

[lutfish]

If Plant was dead, this would be cool...
But with him alive.. It's just not right.
IT wouldn't be Zeppelin.

[joblow]

Eh its cool and i would see em if they came to minnesota but im sure tix would be like $100 and fox that.

[m0o]

no no!
Why ruin the legend of Led Zep?
If they wanna make an album they should but not under the Zeppelin name. Zep wont be the same without Plant..

A new Page album would be cool though.

[HeXeL]

Well... it wouldn't be Led Zeppelin... just not right without the original lineup.

[Quicksand15]

good artists always want to go further and do something new. plant has other projects now and he obviously doesn't want a whole zeppelin revival just because of the immense amount of money...
i dont want a new zeppelin album, because i dont want their prestige to be destroyed by a maybe sloppy comeback. of course it could be nice, but i think it's better to do something entirely new.

[Iliaz]

Removing Plant from Zeppelin is like removing Ridchards or Jagger from the Stones. It sure would be great but kinda incomplete. Do it but rename it!

Checked

[MetalUpYourRear]

GOD! People need to stop complaining about them not changing the name because Plat aint in the band! I am willing to bet that the whole reasoning behind all of this is to make Plant jealous enough to re-join the band! Stop complaining to the band and start complaining to Plant!

[AbombO.S.]

lol title is very misleading this is robert plant and John paul jones, two members would not be participating in this and that is half of led zeppelin

[Into_Eternity23]

Yeah!!! I wouldnt buy a new Led Zep album w.o Plnt in it... he's a big part of them!

Led Zeppelin is NOTHING!!!! with out the PLANT MAN!

No album without him! its just not right ):

[AmzGuitarist]

Led Zepplin should quit...NOW

[PaulieIommi]

I very honestly hope they do write and record new music, but please. Not under the name Led Zeppelin.

[red_hot_chili18]

yes myles kennedy may actually improve this band.

[Ibanezshred333]

I think Zeppelin should get together for a reunion tour. But i dont think they should record another album. If they do and it sucks they could deface everything Zeppelin ever was.

[jambajews]

no

[bazman13]

the jimi hendrix experince might aswell get back together and try and find a new guitarist/singer if page is foolish enough to do this

[Tenacious Z]

The whole guest singer thing worked well for Probot., and John Paul Jones does indeed "write ****ing kick-ass music."

[b_flo]

Doesn't Coverdale and Plant hate each other? Just saw the Foo Fighter's DVD - Live at Wembly Stadium...Taylor Hawkins did a great rendition of "Rock 'n' Roll". He's got the range of the old Plant. Just not sure if he can handle being a frontman on tour. Please don't let it turn into Rockstar....INXS, remember?!

[ZeppNTool]

Ok...on the surface this isn't a bad idea. You just can't call it Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, John Bonham and Jimmy Page. Period. Forever. BUT...I think it would be pretty sweet if they did something like this with guest vocalists. They should should just call the band John & Jim's Project and get on with it. Possibly Myles Kennedy, Thom Yorke (could be interesting), Chris Cornell, Maynard James Keenan, Scott Weiland, Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, Jack Johnson, Roger Daltry and maybe even Brandon Boyd. Just throwing it out there.

[Bassist87]

I think that they should make another album with or without robert plant because it would be really cool to hear jimmy page and john paul jones play again. Page and Jones are the reasons i listen to zeppelin and Robert Plant is just bonus.

[slashsnakepit15]

Myles Kennedy....Beast; Led Zeppelin w/ Plant....Legendary; Leaving everything alone so Led keeps its pride and Alter Bridge together....priceless

[David_Bowie=GOD]

the album idea is good.

I'd like to see kennedy, cornell, and grohl make guest appearances on the album.

[Year Zero]

No just let the band rest in peace.

[BassFishin]

especially since "the pretender's" opening notes are the exact same as stairway, haha! not that i'm accusing, i'm just pointing it out. but man, that would be pretty awesome

[Kinseh]

Jimmy Page should just **** off and leave Led Zeppelin as it was in it's prime. They shouldn't chance making a really shitty album, which without Plant it surely will be by Led Zeppelin standards. If they do make an album without Plant they shouldn't do it under the title of Led Zeppelin.

[specter3301]

could always do an untitled album...

i doubt axl rose...a lot, chris cornell sucks, and dave grohl has already offered himself to the band on numerous occasions. i think they should find a singer. guest albums are gay. yes, even Carlos Santana's. he used michelle branch and rob thomas, for god's sake. do you want a Led Zep/Avril Lavigne song??

[Guitarmaster94]

i personally think it'd be a gr8 idea, but maybe start a new band with a new sound to it. Try to branch out and expand your horizons while making the music.

[deathbyawesome]

I'm for it as long as they don't call it Zeppelin

[Zamarneim]

Yeah, I think that would be amazing! I've got some suggestions for guests too. (wonder how Serj Tanken from SOAD would do...)

[DrPooh]

Just don't call it Led Zeppelin, so I'm not forced to put that crap in my LZ collection. Page, you stupid old man.

[avenged24]

they should do it. and ppl saying having 2 out of 4 members isn't zep well they really have 3 bonzo's son is as good as the origanal and plant is a ****ing ass hole who only cares about the money page and jones are the heart and sole of zep

[Greg Rocks Face]

im split on this. it could be completely amazing.

also, i dunno if they should be called Led Zeppelin or not. On one hand, Black Sabbath with Dio is still Black Sabbath. Albeit a different one, but still Black Sabbath. Queen + Paul Rodgers is not Queen. side note, they shouldve just got roger and bryan to sing for Queen and been a power trio instead of hiring paul rodgers.

zeppelin should attempt. even if it sucks which i doubt, they are still zeppelin.

[g00fy_130]

Anything to make cash using the Zeppelin name right? Maybe they could get Gene Simmons to help out on the project.

[Megadethfan123]

Zeppelin should play with someone else besides plant. Queen did it, and they're ****ing awesome, doesnt make paul rodgers look bad because he still gives the vibe live. Zep can do the same thing.

[ckyguitar]

eh it might be able to work out.. i mean journey's new singer is good although he def doesnt match up to steve perry. the only people i can see singin zeppelin songs is the singer from the band Virtual Zeppelin on youtube or Andrew Stocksdale from Wolfmother, he did an awesome job of Communication Breakdown at the Zep induction into the UK rock and roll hall or fame. but i dont think they should cut a new album w/o Plant. it wouldnt be a Led Zeppelin album w/o Robert Plant. pretty much all zep or no zep.

[davedoom]

Hey can do whatever he likes - he's Page!

Do you think he cares of the "opinions" of punk kids?

[theotherguy7145]

I've no problem with them making a new record with guest vocalists or whatever, but yeah, like a lot of people, i think they should change the name.
It just isn't the same Led Zep without Plant. Its not as if the singer is dead like AcDcs was. A new name would be right if they did another album

[GIBSONroks6167]

i think its actually a great idea. anyone who says its not the same without plant can think that, but were not gonna get any more legendary riffs out of page unless he continues 2 be inspired. who knows, he could do a guest singer album and write some songs up there w/ stairway or immigrant song; u never know till its done

[jakethemetsfan]

hell no..it just wouldnt be the same

[srvkicks@$$]

i dont know about this
plant wasnt the greatest singer even in his prime ,so i can understand cutting him out of the band but would it really be led zeppelin then or just some freaking awesome supergroup

i mean the 2 biggest parts of the band are page and plant it would be Led Zeppe without the llin

thats it they could call Themselves Led Zeppe Minus llin
it perfect

[srvkicks@$$]

alot of comments on here say not having plant would make led zeppellin suck but its not like all the older tracks you listen to will all of a sudden stop being good if they make a guest album

page has nothing to lose he can do either of the following and none of them will effect wat stairway to heaven or achilles last stand sounds like:

he makes the album and it turns out to be great and redifines what the name of the band is or

he makes it and its just plain good not legendary or

he makes it and its a dud or

he doesnt make an album and the world will wonder wat could have happened

[HotDogs1]

I'd like to hear something new with jimmy page, i dont really care what they call it bc its about the music not what its called and who's in it, itd be interesting to hear page and JOHN FRUSCIANTE

[CaptCrunk]

They should have John Paul Jones sing, he already carries the band as it is.

[GoldSoundzUKNZ]

i think it would be quite interesting, provided they get people that they want, not who the labels or even we think they should use. if plant doesn't want to do anything, then fine. maybe they could all do a one off gig or something with lots of guest singers. or a tour!

[redhotsexmagic]

for everyone saying rename it..what the hell are you gonna have them call themselves? either way they can't please everybody no matter what they do.

[ubtguitarist]

Jimmy Page IS Led Zeppelin. I don't care who sings. Plant doesn't really sing that well anymore.

no he's ****in not. the WHOLE BAND is Led Zeppelin. that's why they split up after Bonzo died. they could still tour w/ guest speakers, but it WOULD NOT be Led Zeppelin. It would just be Jimmy, John, possibly Jason Bohnam, an a lead singer (if Robert doesn't help out). Cool NOT ZEPPELIN album yes, touring as Zeppelin but not Zeppelin NO

It's not really led zeppelin without John Bonham. I know I'm going back in time like thirty years, but it kind of isn't. Let alone without robert plant.

the simple answer to this is....no.

[shaggyguy92]

NO ALBUM, NO TOUR, NO ANYTHING, I LOVE YOU JIMMY DONT MESS UP THE IMAGE YOU HAVE PUT IN MY MIND ABOUT HOW MUSIC SHOULD BE!!!!! YOU'RE MY INSIPRAYION, MY IDOL AND MY GOD!!!!! PLEASE DONT MAKE AND ALBUM AND CALL IT lED zEPPELIN, CALL IT jIMMY pAGE, CUZ ZEPPELIN DIED ALONG WITH BONHAM!!!!!

they should get Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother, listen to a couple of their tunes and you'll understand:

might be interesting, Coverdale/Page was a decently good album.

nah that would be fucked up. the brutal honesty is, zepplin wont be zepplin without bonzo

i'd rather jimmy did it under a new name or under his solo name rather than zeppelins

[FuZzY(aus)]

hmm sounds like it might be cool
i wish them all luck

[teles kick ass]

wow, they cant do it without plant... it seemed weird without bonham... now plant too? ... i hope they dont make a new album.. what was the last good new album by a 40 year old band?

[camel1]

Hell no they shouldent

[jpgilbert701]

Maybe Cedric from The Mars Volta? I'll admit TMV is a bit odd but Cedric could do a pretty good job of filling Plant's shoes.

Why do you guys think that you know better to do with page and the gangs music better than they do? If they feel like doing it, doing whatever they want they should do it. Music is fun, thats why we all play guitar. If they want to¨make a new album thats just fine. I dont care who's on it, if the music is good i would gladly hear it. i wouldnt go apeshit over that plants not with the team. great music is great music not matter who makes it.

[HarvesterofPain]

I think that talking about who the name belongs to, whether it be Jones, Plant or Page, is really inconsequential. The fact is: the original chemistry that was Zeppelin died with Bonzo, so let the name rest with him.

Anyways, Jones and Page cutting an album with a host of guest vocalists? Forget the naysayers, I think it's a great idea.

Drummer's a little different. Bonzo was incredible, yes, but Plant is the voice of Zeppelin, it just wouldn't be the same.

[pretaanluxis]

Steven Tyler can do a mean Plant impression

[azdv]

Well Led Zep without the voice of Plant is just weird, he's so iconic and distinctive. I wish Plant would change his mind and give it another shot, Led Zep reunion would just be glorious. If they want to do it I wouldn't rage since they're allowed to do what they want.

man thats ****in gay plant and jimmy page are like penut buter and jelly

****ing shit man thats not cool man plant is bad ass

[killing_inc]

I don't think they should cheapen the name of Zeppelin without Plant. Who could do Plant well? Axl and Steven Tyler are good choices, but I will still go for Miles Kennedy from Alter Bridge.

[borntobooze27]

why would Led f+ckin Zeppelin care what the lead singer of Whitesnake thinks. a three hit wonder has no f+ckin idea what a living legend should do with his bandmates. i love Led Zeppelin as much as the next fan but if they're not feeling up to performing like they did when they were 21 then God bless em. A billion thanks for what you've done, now sit back and relax the rest of your life.

That's a bad example. I can't stand PB&J. David Coverdale does have an awesomely powerful voice, but I agree that it just wouldn't be the same and should not be released under the name Led Zeppelin. It's similar to "GnR" at the moment.

No.

[NOSPI]

this is ****ing stupid..

"Will people be willing to see three-quarters of the family with a guest — a cousin twice removed?"

Um. They're Led Zeppelin. Were people happy to see them at their very first concert? Just because they're so massively famous, doesn't mean they shouldn't try out new things just because they won't completely sell out every ****ing arena they play at.

I wish i had their problems..

That's like a band being formed and then giving up before the first show, because "people might not like us. they might not come to see us play."

Best compromise possible. You can't restrict musicians because of old Fans' preferences and they want to do music. If it's done right it's a great opportunity to see new creative flow. It just isn't Led Zeppelin.

[tom1thomas1]

he says 3 quarters with cousin 2 removed but it's half with cousin drummer as well

[nervosuu]

people will probably hate me for saying this, but the zep reunion should not become a reality. Plant is not doing it, and if they did it with guests, everyone will be wishing for Robert Plant. As much as I say Zep is one of my favorite bands, they should just stop raising our hopes up and unless they get Robert to do it, forget it. And if they do, don't call it Led Zeppelin

[tushmeister]

With most other bands no-one would care if a member or two or three left and they held onto their name, bands go through line-up changes all the time, heck some of the best bands in the last 30 years have ended up so far from their original lineup it's unbelievable.
Personally I reckon they should make an album, and as Led Zeppelin

[Hungry_Hameds]

Page and Jones are still geniuses, and while Plant's voice isnt what it used to be, it's still a better voice than most. I'd just like to see them get their asses in gear and do something other than rumours. If Plant wont do it then get on with something!!!!! Let's have an actual thing to say ''this isn't right'' or ''this is great'' about cos this is just getting boring.

Seeing Zeppelin live with Plant would be a dream come true, but without him... Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones are great musicians but Led Zeppelin just isn't Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant.

[Gh.]

With or without Robert, they shouldn't do anything as Led Zeppelin. People would expect another Zeppelin album which they won't ever do, just because they are not the same guys as 30 years ago. Ffs lie to people that nothing changed? Led Zeppelin ended in 1980, period. They should move on with their music, together or separate.

much like axl calling the new band Guns N Roses, I wouldn't agree with just JPJ and Page calling it Led Zeppelin, but they could do that if they wanted to. I just hope they dont.

[Smithsc]

they should do it with Plant or not do it at all.

[Metallicam]

It's just a name. They can call it whatever they want in my opinion, as long as they make some more music. That's all I really care about anyways.

[rocker91]

Without Plant it just isn't Zeppelin.

[eurotrashed]

If they make an album. they need a different name, they are not Led Zeppelin and it is misleading. I mean, they didn't go by "Led Zeppelin" for the Page and Plant tour, they shouldn't go by that name now. Maybe minus Plant they will go down like a Led Zeppelin

They should do whatever the hell they want under whatever name they want. Plant refuses to tour or do anything, so screw him.

So what if there isn't some of the original members? By people's logic, RHCP shouldn't be called RHCP anymore. Metallica shouldn't do anything under the Metallica name anymore. Neither should Jane's Addiction, Megadeth, Iron Maiden... It isn't about the members. It's about the members that are able and willing to continue the life of the band and the music associated with that band.

[I am the Drake]

It won't be a Zeppelin album, but it would be cool.

check.

[iamthelaw867]

it would be interesting to hear, but led zeppelin with out Plant just seems unnatural. but they did have Jason sub in for his father and they still sounded great. its just weird to think about. i would like to see them try a few tracks with no singer at all. just instruments. they did it on mobey dick and that track is amazing. they had over a minute of the band playing with no words on the beginning of Since I Been Loving You and i could listen to that all day. im not saying it would be the best thing ever, but if any one could make that sound good, it would be them.

[CrazyHobo13]

I don't wanna see Zeppelin kill themselves like all the other bands who are waking up from the past. It would be very very disappointing... Jimmy Page should try out a solo act. It's not Zeppelin without the original guys.

[JPScralatchtica]

wow i personally think this could work and be KICK ASS...like they said think of santana.....that was an amazing album; it delivered!!!...Plant is not coming back...i believe he has made that clear every time he's been asked about it...so move on; they were great and they can still be great!

EXACTLY

[ledzepprk]

Okay well i have no problem with them calling themselves Led Zeppelin, really i believe that the band is still alive untill every last member is gone. The band will live forever in its music and in each individuals music. Whether its that familiar voice, or awesome guitar licks it will be recegnizable forever. So with that, if the band wants to have guest singers let them. If you dont recognize them as Zepp thats cool, but remember you will be thinking: "oh yeah the guys from zeppelin wrote that."

[benjibreeg]

mmhmm...led zep minus john bonham minus robert plant? its more like a coverdale/page/jones collaboration. It shouldnt really go under tha Led Zep slogan, as im pretty ****in sure it wont sound anything like IV or houses of the holy

On one hand, it'd be strange having the same style of music, with different singers, but look at Queen, they've done really well.

Drummers are drummers, if you think Jason Bonham gives up anything to his dad then you are an ignorant person and need to wake up. A vocalist, on the other hand, all talent and actual singing prowess aside, changes the entire dynamic of a band. Paul Rogers is a great vocalist but it just wasn't Queeen without Freddie. Could you imagine Nirvana trying to reform without Kurt Cobain? No way, no how.
Clearly Jimmy and JPJ could get any vocalist(s) they want to record tracks on a new album. Anyone else would jump at the chance. But to the true Led Zeppelin fans, who have identified Plant's howeling vocals as the foundation for Zep's sound, it wouldn't be right. If they want to record something, go ahead. Just don't call it Led Zeppelin, cuz it ain't!

your wrong, many bands go on to find much better vocalists, such as iron maiden

[Can-o-Mark]

Its funny to see that so many people are all like: 'They shouldnt call it Led Zeppelin'. Because Page has stated in the past that this band would not be called Led Zeppelin. I suppose the only reason why the article and a lot of people refer to it as Led Zeppelin is because there is no other name yet.

[anitacris]

It's gotta be with Robert Plant!

[pinoygitarista]

The Zeppelin sound was made with the four-corners of Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham.

Without any of them... I don't think it'd be the same. Didn't they break up because the band lost Bonzo? I read somewhere that someone said that Zeppelin can't be Zeppelin without Bonzo.

I think that applies to all other members.
Though I'd like to see Page and Jones play either way. It's just not Zeppelin when there are already TWO members missing.

[PenFighter19]

RHCP - Hillel Slovak still = RHCP, The Beatles - Pete Best still = The Beatles, Queens of the Stone Age - Dave Grohl still = Queens of the Stone Age, Black Sabbath - Ozzy Osbourne still = Black Sabbath. I wont go into GNR or Alice In Chains. But Led Zeppelin is just title. A moniker that an artist or group of artists use to release their music. Its used for REFERENCE ONLY. Why? cus noone whats to be asked who wrote 'Communication Breakdown' and have to answer with "Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones". Led Zeppelin is an entity of its own, like Monty Python. If Led Zeppelin is missing a drummer, itll get a new drummer and the band lives on. If it needs a new singer..
Page & company are artists the same as the small bands. Cant they just move on with their art like any other band would?

[themtalisgood]

Wtf, lots of bands dont have there origional members (btw Guns N Roses have 2 origional members Axl Rose and Dizzy Reed). I no that Led Zeppelin have more famous members but Jones and Page still have a right to produce music from a band they are obviously very passionate about.

Checked!

PenFighter19 wrote:

Dave Grohl was never technically a member of QOTSA, was he? More as a stand-in/contributor from SftD (As far as I know, Nick Olivieri and Josh Homme were the only two actual band members until Lullabies)? Using Nick Olivieri in the example would've been better I think, since Olivieri was there from the start.

[StratStar21]

i have no problems with them touring with little Bonham, he rocks! but I dont really want to see a new album OR tour without Plant. Also, for all you people who say JPJ and Page should just make a new album without Plant, think about this. Imagine youre a 12 or 13 year old kid. you listen to all the latest "Music"(some people think rappers are more talented than rockers, LOL!) youve heard about this Led Zeppelin band,and wanted to check out some of their music but now you hear theyve come out with a new album and it sucks, bad, which turns you off to the band and other good music for good. So you go back to youre rap and hip hop and think nothin of it. Now, im not sayin it would be bad, but theres always a chance. And what if it turns some people off from discovering what is, in my opinion, THE greatest band ever? just somethin to think about.

[jfvela]

I would really hate to see the rank #3 vocal cords in the history of Rock being replaced by some new age hot shot that will just not cut it.

You can't have a Led Zeppelin band without robert Plant or John Bonham. The band had it's paramount moment at the London O2 Arena and they should stay like this.

I think we all remember the times when Led´s performance in live stages was not like in the early days.

I remember that during "No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded Tour" when asked where Jones was, Plant had replied that he was out "parking the car."

So it appeared that Jones was not quite getting along with the other two.

Bottom line is, if you are going to have The Jimi Page and a kick as bassist like John Paul Jones, they should most certainly record and tour together, but leave Led as it is.

If you put some thoughts in it... It's like having a Tool without Adam Jones or a Rage Against the Machine without Tom Morello

[vanhailin]

Led Zeppelin is the best band on earth, but if they use any singer but Plant they cant really call themselves Led Zeppelin. That'd be like Van Halen without Eddie Van Halen!!(which would suck)

[pootoob]

Whgo cares about the name?
Honestly, like some wise people have already said, noone complains about Black Sab, Iron Maiden, Skid Row, Sepultura, Velvet Revolver, INXS, Dream Theater, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd and countless other bands who have replaced volcalists... So why Led Zep and Gn'R?!

[MetalUpYourA§§]

i think this is cool, it'd be great to see who they pick, theyd probably get some great singerscause, who the **** wouldnt want to work with page and jpj. and about the name, doesnt really matter, its just a name.

[guitar.vlad]

they should do whatever they want. it would be great if they made a new album!

[Led-Zep]

Jimmy Page is the member that really defines Led Zeppelin, not robert plant.

However, i think that they should NOT name this album under the title Led Zep, this isn't because the album won't have plant. Even if plant was in the album, i still wouldn't want the album to be named under Led Zep.
My reasoning: Each time a band makes an album AFTER their prime, then the value of each album, each song, each epic performance diminishes.
Led Zep I-IV were epic, but if a new led zep album was created, some people (especially young people)will no longer associate Led Zep with their "classic albums" that changed music, but would think about the new album that doesn't reflect the band Led Zep was in the past.
In otherwords, any band that makes a "reunion" album taints the reputation of their older classic albums.

[portera1]

they should get Tom DeLonge to sing and pete wentz on bass!

[Lloydikins]

Sounds like this Coverdale guy wants the focus to be on him and not on the original led zepplin, kinda like what queen did. Maybe he thinks he can do it better than Robert Plant and after recording with the other members of the band, he can become their permanent singer. Robert Plant isnt sure about all of this so its a good opportunity for this Coverdale geezer to become part of one of the greatest rock bands ever!

My first thought exactly. It would be a very interesting project, but in no way should be labeled as 'Led Zeppelin'. It just won't be right without Plant (It's bad enough they're missing Bonzo). However, even though Coverdale might be aching for that spotlight, the project is still a pretty good idea.

[rebeltildeth87]

they need to let it go. surely Jimmy knows that the magic will be gone with only 2 original members. if he insists on playing with jason, john, and someone else they should call it something else. dont go out on a bad note, which is the only way they can go out if they move on.

[Alpha_Wolf]

I was never really a fan of them. I didn't hate them either, so save your flamethrowers.

So I don't really know what to say about this.

[Subcide]

They should get Jeff Martin from the tea party / the Armada in for a song. He's already good friends with Jimmy page and has a fantastic voice. Definately new name new band though, otherwise its not about the music, its about cashing in on the name.

[RockInPeaceDime]

If Plant doesn't want to allow it, I don't think they should. If he doesn't care, by all means I don't care. If he does though, he has every right to stop people from using his lyrics and art.

I think that if zeppelin did a new album, it would be funny if they included Mark Farner (singer/guitarist from Grand Funk) seeing as how his was the only band to ever blow zeppelin off the stage. (not to bash the zep, but you know...)

[bassmanjoe08]

When will all these sentimental band-name-Nazis **** off?

[satch1173]

Wouldn't that be great.... the Police have done it , now Led Zeppelin oh wait It wouldn't be Led Zeppelin. If Robert doesn't want to re visit the past leave him alone. If Jimmy and John Paul wanna play then let it be. Who are we to rain on their parade. More power to them. If Robert doesn't want to sing then have guest singers who knows maybe Robert would do one track on the album knowing that he wouldn't be tied to the project for months or years. Besides we aren't record producers or even Music illuminaries enough to predict the future of Led Zeppelin.

[zeppelin1234]

Well... first of all, it wouldn't be ledzep, there would only be 2 original members. I mean, I was doubting about a reunion without John Bonham, the most kickass drummer ever. But now its completely ridiculous, without Bonham or Plant.
Anyways, an album with guest singers would be seriously kickass, I mean, just because Bonham is dead (R.I.P.) and Plant doesn't want a reunion doesn't means that Page and JPJ have no right to create new stuff. I only think that they shouldn't use the name of LedZeppelin.

I think that Chris Cornell would fit in perfectly. Also Eddie Vedder, Sammy Hagar, Eric Martin (mr big). However, Chris Cornell would be the best. Anyways,non of theese could ever be better than Plant... no one can sing like he does.

[Hoontang08]

Chris Robinson would be best fit for the job

[Captain_Ahab]

it comes down to two things
1. picking good guests
Other classic artists that match they're bluesy
folk style like maybe neil young, mellencamp,ian
anderson, etc.
2. The name of the band
it doesn't matter what you call it as long as
page can step up and be the singular architect.
phil lynott was with thin lizzy and tom scholz
was with boston and they went through different
guys but the music was still quality because
they were the singular driving forces.

[Lamrick21]

You guys have it all wrong. For starters, somewhere not sure where, Page said the Tour would not be labeled as Led Zep if Plant didnt come. And why the hell wouldnt you go see it??? Thats passing up an opportunity to see 2 classic and excellent musicians. Thats just ignorant, its like saying "i wont see them cause bonzo is dead"

"Not Zeppelin"

featuring Steven Tyler on vox.

Gimme a break, at least Robert Plant has some artistic integrity left when he says he won't reform zeppelin because it was a band that came from a youthful place and was about youthful energy

Anyone involved in trying to reform Led Zeppelin is doing so only to line the insides of their own pockets.
