PLANT DENIES ZEP REUNION

jambase, bringing you the news about not-news. I deny everythign anyways

Who cares? Zeppelin are the biggest bunch of rip off artists of all time. Half of their breakthrough music was stolen from other artists. This band was better in the studio anyways, why would you wanna see 'em now????

Remember about 5 years ago when no one wanted wanted to see that page and plant tour??? Deja Vu

don't get me wrong, i like to listen to their albums here and there, but they really are kind of a sham for all the music they stole...

choking on your own vomit sounds like a terrible way to die, why was this info in the story anyway?
don't get together for another 'disasterous' performance

if ya do it make it right

Damn i was hopin for a full on zep reunion tour, but i guess not.

leadbelly zeppelin

I say Page&Plant in '98. It was SAAAAAAD! and i bet they haven't got any better in the last 10 yrs.

saw

What you mean they stole the music?

It's funny if you look back at original pressings of their albums and compare them to the cd's, you will see songwriting credit changed on a lot of songs.

I saw Page & Plant in '95 and '98...the '95 show was a lot better. But to call one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands of all time a "bunch of ripoff artists" is pretty ignorant.

To be influenced by a bunch of bluesmen is different than stealing. Zep were all extremely talented musicians when they were at the top of their game. Even now I would rather seea rusty Zep show than some of the garbage being promoted on this site like Bondo Do Role.

roberto- if they didn't steal the songs, then why did they change the liner notes to credit the actual artists with the re-release of all of their albums on CD?

What is the fascination with rock stars choking on vomit? I'm not really sure how that related to this article.

There was a guy on Howard Stern last week that played all of the original songs that Zep stole for Led Zeppelin I. I was pretty shocked. I am a longtime Zep fan.

At first I thought that the guy was just trying to provoke controversy but after hearing the original songs, I was sold. He has a website that explains some of his findings. This guy claims to be the worlds foremost classic rock expert and is in the process of trying to get someone to produce a television show explaining his research. So, he doesn't post everything on his website.

rejunkulous,

Can you give me some examples of songs that they changed the liner notes on? I don't know that what you are supposing is even true.

i'm a little surprised by the comments on here. jimmy page is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. sure they played a lot of other people's songs when they were first starting out, but lots of bands have done that. they never miscredited songs, i don't know where someone got that idea. they opened music up into a whole new realm in my opinion. i used to collect a lot of the download imports during high school and their tours from 73 to 78 are flat out amazing. dazed and confused went on for over an hour at one show. this is one of the best bands of all time, i'm surprised people are saying some of this shit about them. i do think a reunion would be an awful idea though.

im shocked at all the haters...what songs did they rip off?? someone tell me?

oh i just find the greatest website, www.grayvee.com, lots of good of info crunchy grooves. peace.

Led Zepplin was great. The live disc from LA "How the West Was Won" is a disc everyone should have.

plagiarism is acceptable in architecture as it is in music. consider what happened first, the music or the cover? music credits from this band are a generous claim to fame. nothing wrong with that.

Do you guys understand how the blues work? Seriously if any style has been dependent on the work of their predecessors it's blues. And the most innovative, creative bluesmen since Robert Johnson have been these four amazingly talented, cohesive musicians working together. The defined dirty hard electric blues.

Just when you never thought you could ever hear a stupider less informed idiot comment on jambase there it is Steve T. Led Zeppelin a Sham-" absolutley the most profoundly arrogant and bullshit statement ever posted on the internet. Led Zepplin wrote more original groundbreaking music than anybody with the exception of the Beatles, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. Check out the Song remains the Same Steve T. 30 min Dazed and Confuzed, 20 min No Quater. Zep and the Grateful Dead are the original jambands. Get a clue. Sometimes I really hate this site and fuckers like Steve.

I also saw Page and Plant and though the orchestra was lame. It was still better than most shows performed by anyone on this website. It was not Zeppelin however, and it was not intended to be.

I saw Page & Plant in San Diego (Sports Arena)in May of '95. Mui Bien! A week or so later I saw the Dead in Vegas ( 3 nights at Sam Boyd). When leaving the floor after an epic Dead show (5/20) most of the people around me were talking about the SD P&P show. So I guess I wasn't the only who liked it. SCI Red Rocks YEAH!

G n'R's Chinese Democracy WILL come out before a Zep reunion.....sadly.

John Paul Jones is still kickin it at least...

hey, remember that one Jimi Hendrix song, 'All Along the Watchtower'?

Dylan song.

People are allowed to like music and express it in their own way. Somewhat related is the "Dark Star Orchestra" show i saw just tonight. KICK ASS.

Music is free.
and any story about the zep gets 5 stars.

I was at that same SD show Framey...my first concert as a matter of fact. I thought it kicked ass too.

How about leaving Robert Plant at his mansion and let Page, Jones, and Bonham's son play as a power trio. I'd pay to check that out. Jimmy Page is the fucking shredder, oh yea

See www.classicrockcentral.com for the info on Led Zeppelins ripped off music, and who really wrote what.

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything. :P

Who fucking cares if they stole it? The music is absolutely fantastic and fuck man you could do the same thing with hendrix and cream. Get off it.

I think you guys should all smoke another bowl. And eat another barrel.

HAIL TO THE THIEF!!!

the T stands for tea bag steve cuz you love balls in your mouth you ignorant FOOL lay off Zep if you know what's good for you WOOK

thats how bonzo died you dumbass....and the reason they broke up, and the reason from that day in 1980 that there never would be a "led zeppelin" again

Who is Steve T's favorite band? The spice girls are doing a reunion!

blower you are showing your true biases when you say, "Led Zepplin wrote more original groundbreaking music than anybody with the exception of the Beatles, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd." I think you are enhancing the original point that music was stolen from African American musicians. When you point to the most "original groundbreaking music" you point to all white rock bands. What about Miles Davis? Sun Ra? Duke Ellington? Charlie Parker? Thelonius Monk? James Brown? and the list goes on forever......

ripping on zep! ive seen it all on here now. the only explanation is lonely people come on here to bitch about everything and anything they can, in the hopes of starting what they have come to learn is a conversation, a argument. sad so sad.

I am absolutely certain the world is a better place for having zeppelin in it. think of how classic rock radio would severely suck, with-out zeppelin. I do not care where they got their damn tunes, with out zeppelin, the world would be much less fun to be in. :P

The official explanation was he choked on vomit.

It was actually someone else's vomit.

Well they can't prove whose vomit it was.

You can't really dust for vomit.

No plant? well, thats not a problem ~ Get Marco!

More fascenating than all of this hubub is Derric Trucks doing an interview with Nick Forester on E-Town talking about how Guitaur Player magazine needs to take his name off of the top 100 guitaur players of all time. he said to take his name down and put Elmore James on the top 100. the deep assed musicoligist he is and all, he honestly seemed pissed that a bunch of old brothers who he thinks of as the the masters would be overlooked like that. What do youall think of that?

Alot of people say Elvis was just marketing all of the soul moves too....we all know he copyrighted them so its a total lie, right?

Doubt Zep? when i do i just listen to No Quarter a few times in the dark...i love when the grand piano comes in.

A lot of musicians "stole" music from blues artists; let's not forget the Stones in all of this. But, they added to what already existed to make it unique for the time. Regardless, Jimmy Page is one, if not the best, soloist of all time. As far as a reunion, I don't foresee that happening, but the closest thing would have to be the Black Crowes W/ Jimmy Page. That tour rocked! Chris' vocals were perfect, and the band was on fire each night.
