i just noticed that it seems the general feeling is the LZ reunion wouldnt be LZ without plant, but AIC can release a new album without layne and its still AIC.

what gives with the direct opposite feelings. why is the majority taking different stances on the same issue?

    As for a simple answer?

    One is dead...

    The other is still alive.

    Well, for one thing, Layne Staley is dead, so you can't really expect him to sing.

    And I guess since it's Jason Bonham on drums, it's only half the real LZ without Plant, whereas with AiC, it's three quarters without Layne.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Both are legendary bands... as far as im concerned they can do what the fuck they want. Ill include Blind Melon too - though not "legendary" in the long run, why the fuck not?

    As long as it makes, past, present, future fans happy thats all that matters

    IMO there is a serious shortage of "proper" rock n roll these days, anything that reverses that HAS to welcome.

    yeah but in both cases the remaining members seem set on moving on, so why are people saying page and jones cant do it but cantrell and crew can?

    sure cantrell wrote most of the stuff, but plant didnt do much for zeppelin but sing since most of lz songs were stolen from black blues singers....

    in both cases the singer was just the voice and image. infact i think layne had a bigger part of the writing than plant. name one song plant wrote by himself?

    To me......this new LZ will be just like a Led Zep cover band and I for one, won't be paying the huge prices they'll no doubt charge for tickets to their shows :rolleyes:

    The whole reason AIC was on an extended break prior to Layne's death was due to Layne's drug abuse. Layne's addiction was to blame which makes him responsible. Zeppelin made a group decision to disband after Bonham's death. Not the same thing.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    the group (lz) has now made the decision to reform...so how is that not the same? seems like it was an extended break also. just a much longer one.

    cantrell even said that there were songs on degradation trip that he asked layne to sing on and layne refused. so it seems the whole picture is muddy. cause we may of had a cantrell solo album that was layne/cantrell yet now we may have a aic without layne......
