***Official Led Zeppelin Thread***

in fact including jason in the band is probably what saved them from being sued by the bonham family. Had the 3 members at o2 billed themselves as Led Zep, and replaced John with some other non family member, I could see the Bonham's having a damn good case for a lawsuit. Or maybe that, I dont know how they split royalities, but that 1/4, in that hypothetical situation would go to Bonzo's family (had jason not been a part of this).

And thats precisely what Bradley's family did reguarding Rome.

but they dont have bonzo. even if they do have his son currently. Do you think the 02 shouldnt have been considered Zep? I tend to think so. Ive mentioned my gripe several times, reguarding bands reuniting, especially without key members of the group, or replaced members of the group. Had George, Paul and Ringo reunited in 1985 or whenever, after john was killed, it would have been amazing to see the 3 on stage, but were they really the beatles?

Is zep, really zep, without Bonzo?

Grohl and Noveselic reunited I dont think would be called Nirvana. And I dont think Blind Melon is Blind Melon without Shannon Hoon. Although The Who is still considered the who without Moon the loon.

As a monstrous Zep fan I'm fine with it for the one off type things or even a final tour, and I may feel different had I not read several interviews where Jason talked about how something finally clicked as far as the part he was playing in the whole thing. He'll never be the drummer his dad was, but he put in alot of effort to recreate the licks and the vibe that he had. Watch the O2 dvd and you can see how much he put into it and how much he got out of it.

I don't think there would've been a show without Jason, but even if they played with another drummer I don't think there would've been any legal action. The other members seem to have gone to great lengths to help out the Bonham family.

Bonzo was an integral part of the band, no doubt, but the examples you're giving, those guys are the unquestionable main draw and driving force. The groove was essential to Zeppelin and Bonzo is absolutely irreplaceable, but as crazy as it sounds he may have been the most replaceable member.

interesting, seems to be pretty much what I was suggesting as well. that a reunion isnt a reunion unless its the full 4 member band.

But I definitely still feel like Plant has moved on. Its apparent from all the interviews of him Ive seen lately. The 2 interviews I saw where they gave 40 minute press conferences to promote Celebration, Plant clearly seemed to dislike the idea of anyone asking about a reunion or a tour. And in some ways, i understand it, but in other ways, when you are a part of something as massive and gargantuan as Zep, thats going to pretty much color the rest of your life, good or bad.

i just think plant has pretty much completely moved on from Zep. Ive caught a few interviews with him in the last few years and he does sort of bristle when Zep is mentioned. He has Band of Joy, and his success with Allison Krause. His new music sounds radically different than Zep. Jones also has found great success outside of Zep, helping out with the Foos and of course as part of Them Crooked. I do think you are right though, Im sure Jones, and Page are sick of the "are you guys reuniting?" questions, but for Plant it seems to really upset him, in large part because of what I mentioned, he's found great success and seems fulfilled musically with Krause and Band of Joy. In a way that makes sense, imagine if you had new music coming out, and every single interview you did, the big question was if you were getting back together with a band that broke up 30 years ago. I could imagine that becoming annoying fast. But Jones and Page seem to have embraced Zep's legacy and status. Plant doesnt seem to have. From Plants perspective I think its "hey I won a Grammy for my work with Allison Krause, and Zep broke up 30 years ago, whats the bigger priority and issue right now"

The grammies are a joke anyways ... and if he gets annoyed with the question, then he should have never stepped foot on stage with the other two ... when you offer people a tease then of course they'll want more and the question will come up.

Would you stop rubbing ours noses in it!?

And I agree with your humble opinion. IMHO Beatles are the greatest songwriters but Zep is the greatest band.

You do know I was kidding? Awesome that you got to see them just extremely envious.

1 Zep 2 Beatles 3 Floyd for me.

I think the batting average/slugging percentage comes into it. Despite a few rough patches Zep were the greatest live band ever, and the Beatles stopped when it came time to challenge themselves in that arena. And while I think the Beatles musicianship is the one thing with them that gets overlooked, they couldn't hang with Zep on their best days. I think Zeppelin just took what he Beatles did to a whole other level.

I can't blame anybody for picking either of the other 2. I believe it's those 3 then a step down to anybody else.

I did as well and now it says "There has been no date set for this release" on the product page. Real bummer. I was really jacked to hear how this sounds. Zeppelin's more recent vinyl output has been pretty amazing, in the face of the loudness wars ruining alot of vinyl.
