TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Led Zeppelin to reform after 17 years apart | News | Guardian Unlimited MusicWhat are peoples' thoughts on this? Good or bad thing? Do people want new material? Will it just damage their legacy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Good thing. No new material, it's bound to be crap, give the punters what they want.But "They a reforming for a concert"? Surely a full tour is in order?I should say that I think they are hyped up too much, but there's no doubting they had a few great tunes.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hmm, on the plus side you get to see Led Zeppelin. On the down side, 125 buckaroos and you get to see Foreigner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 You could head to the bar while Foreigner (and Paolo) are on.Although I think Foreigner are now "cool" after being in The Sopranos. Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Led Zep absolutely suck dog dick. Wanky, screechy, self-indulgent, tight trousered nonsense. I thought punk wiped all this kind of shite out in the 70s? We have to endure it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought punk wiped all this kind of shite out in the 70s? We have to endure it again?Punk wiped NOTHING out. All the "Boring Old Farts" came back stronger. Apart from a handful of genuine bands, punk was a bigger pose than the scene it claimed to have "wiped out".Like someone said earlier in the thread, if they can still cut it live.....

Guest bluesxman Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Can Plant still pull off the AAA-AAA-AAAAAA-AAAA bit in Immigrant Song I wonder. Im guessing no. Which alone makes this a poor idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 when i saw the who at glastonbury, roger daltrey's voice is showing signs of age and it might be the same case with robert plant but i still think the zep will be worth checking out.

delboy Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I love the Who and I've never seen them live, I best get in there before Roger and Pete die as well.worth seeing they did a greatest hit set, some bands like the who and the stones seem to get away with it despite their advancing years and i think led zep are in that same category.

Jim Stax Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Send some money to a charity and go see 'Pie Shop' if you want to be entertained by overblown hairy, geetar music played by old men decades out of flavour.
