While Presley inspired members of Led Zeppelin years earlier, Elvis had only heard one of their songs -- "Stairway to Heaven" -- when mutual promoter Jerry Weintraub hooked Presley up with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page in 1972. At Presley's Vegas suite, the meeting was initially awkward, with few words exchanged, according to Cameron Crowe, writing for the Daily Telegraph. Finally, Elvis asked, "Is it true, these stories about you boys on the road?"

Plant, without cracking a smile, said, "Of course not -- we're family men. In fact, I get the most pleasure out of walking the hotel corridors, singing your songs." Then Plant offered his best impersonation of Elvis singing the country song "Love Me."

Elvis and his bodyguards burst out laughing, and the ice was broken.

Two hours later, as Plant and Page were walking down the corridor outside Presley's room, Elvis -- looking quite pleased with himself -- poked his head out the door and began singing, "Treat me like a fooooool," channeling Plant's impression of him.

"I turned around and did my best Elvis right back at him," Plant told the Sunday Mercury.

Page tells a different version. Somebody in the Zeppelin camp brought up a hot rod that Elvis drove in some movie to break the ice. Read the bit about Plant's impression though.

After their tantalizing one-off gig in 2007, Robert Plant has hinted that he's open to a Led Zeppelin reunion next year. Speaking to Australia's version of 60 Minutes, the singer deflected the notion that he's the reason for Zeppelin's dormancy. "[Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones] are Capricorns. They don't say a word. They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me," said Plant. "I'm not the bad guy . . . You need to see the Capricorns – I've got nothing to do in 2014."

Plant, Page and Jones reunited for one show at London's O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, with Jason Bonham drumming in place of his late father, John. Though Page and Jones were willing to tour afterwards, Plant was disinterested. Page and Jones considered finding a replacement before abandoning their plans, and their 2007 show was released as Celebration Day last year. Last November, Page spoke with Rolling Stone on the failed reunion tour, saying that Plant "was busy." The band also entered talks for a streaming music deal last month.

Would be great if they got on a tour in 2014. I would do my utmost to see them.

Unfortunately, there is no chance. I think its probably best that they leave it, at this stage. It wouldnt be cool to be touring around the world singing Whole Lotta Love at nearly aged 70.

I have to agree. I don't want to feel like I'm seeing some shadow of what they once were.... Plus, I would be mourning John Bonham too much.

Jason was surprisingly awesome at the reunion show in 2007, but if anything was ever going to happen regarding a tour/album, it would've happened then. Its too late now. It was good that they got to go out on a high though. That one show was really amazing. Love the DVD release.

We know that Plant has his band under his name and is touring. J.P. Jones is also making music with Them Crooked Vultures from time to time. He looks very health, by the way.

Does anyone know what Jimmy Page is into? Other than showing up erratically at shows like Foo's? I could just check Wikipedia or smtg but would prefer a P-Jammer clarify this for me.

I think he is working on remastering the catalog and having deluxe editions for each album.
