Page’s Manager Stokes Led Zep Fire

Posted on Wednesday January 7, 2009 at 01:03 PM 16 |

The rumored reunion of Led Zeppelin without frontman Robert Plant has gained a little more traction courtesy of guitarist Jimmy Page’s manager.

Peter Mensch recently told BBC’s "6Music" that Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham have been working together since their 2007 one off Zep performance at London’s O2 Arena and are on the prowl for a new vocalist.

“John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page enjoy playing with each other,” Mensch said. “Jason Bonham is a really good drummer so why not? We just need to find a singer.”

While Plant participated in the O2 show, he has publicly stated on several occasions that he has no interest in reuniting with the band for a tour, preferring instead to focus on his critically and publicly acclaimed work with Alison Krauss.

Mensch, who also manages Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica, would not comment on speculation that Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell or Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler were on the list for frontman.

    If they must go on without Plant, please don't use Steven Tyler!!

    There's not really a good way to do this, but please not Tyler!

    I can't see Steve Tyler, Chris Cornell or any other singer in there except Robert Plant.  I could see why Robert would want to continue with what he's doing now because it's so far away from Zepplin does.  But, for people like me & many other people who didn't get the chance to see Zepplin in the original form, we're hungering for it.  I'm 47 years old now.  I discovered Zepplin at 11 years old.  In fact, the day I discovered them, these kids invited me to go see Zepplin in 1971.  My mother wouldn't let me see them.  When I was in high school in 1977, once again, I was invited to go see them at the now defunct LA Forum (I have the boot for that show.  There won't ever be a rock show like that anymore).  Once again, my mother stopped from seeing them.  In Through The Out comes out & they announce a tour.  I was like 'YES!!!! I can finally go see the band I've been wanting to see for years.  John Bonham dies!!!!  I was heartbroken just like alot of other people.  

    I've seen Robert Plant on his solo tours (I actually met him when he was in Seattle), I've seen Jimmy Page when he was doing The Firm thing but, it'll never replace the very thing that drew me to them in the first place.  Jason Bonham is more than capable of filling Johns' shoes & I didn't get to see John Paul Jones when he was touring with Diamanda Galas, which I could kick myself for missing.

    So Robert, pleeeeaaase!!!!!

    Join the guys & give us the real ***.  We need it bad!!!!

    I agree, its not zep without plant.

    I would kill my own mother to go see them before they die, if plant were back with them. Jason just doesn't have the fan dedication in him. To let his mom stop him TWICE sheesh...

    Jason can handle his dad's beats, did anyone hear the recordings from the O2? These guys can still rock.

    If they can't do it with Plant, I think the next best thing would be to bring along a selection of well known singers to fill in, instead of just one that we all hate (Steven Tyler!).    

    I also think Ann Wilson should be considered for the job.   Search out Heart's Zep covers on Youtube.

    I was 11 years old in 1971 & 17 in 1977.  Some mothers just weren't that liberal back then.  Besides, I've made up for all of that.

    Bravo on Ann Wilson neilbrock! Heart is already the best Zep tribute band ever. Their version of "Rock & Roll" rivals the original.

    The best solution would obviously be Robert. If he does not want to do it, I suggest Randy Jackson of Zebra. He currently is doing Zep symphony shows and Zebra has done Zep songs in concert.

    There is only one Robert Plant but if they are going out then I think Myles Kennedy would be a good choice. Good range and can play guitar but it sounds like they are going for a big name.
