This Week In Led Zeppelin Reunion Talk

Posted 10/28/08 11:59 am EST by in Led-Zeppelin


Will they or won't they tour? That question has been on the mind of every Led Zeppelin fan since the iconic band played a single reunion set last year at London's O2 Arena. And throughout pretty much all of 2008, we've debunked countless rumors regarding a full Led Zep reunion run. It seems there's been at least one rumor popping up per month, intimating that the classic rockers would be staging their return — with frontman Robert Plant swooping in each and every time to crush everyone's hopes by shooting down those rumors.

At this point, Plant's made it more than obvious he doesn't want any part of a Led Zeppelin reunion trek. But apparently, that's not stopping the rest of the band from moving on with their plans.

Another Led Zeppelin Rumor Almost Debunked

Posted 10/13/08 2:54 pm EST by in Led-Zeppelin


It's one of the crazier rumors we've ever heard here in the MTV News offices (and we hear crazy rumors all the time) and, so far, it's been impossible to confirm or disprove, because no one involved is talking — not on the record, at least.

It involves Led Zeppelin — who returned to the live stage last December, for a single performance in London — launching a full-scale reunion tour, which means it probably isn't true at all, given what frontman Robert Plant recently said.

"It's both frustrating and ridiculous for this story to continue to rear its head when all the musicians that surround the story are keen to get on with their individual projects and move forward," Plant told the U.K. press, following the publishing of an article intimating that Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, ex-Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell and Van Halen's erstwhile frontman Sammy Hagar could replace him on a Zeppelin reunion run. "I wish Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham nothing but success with any future projects."

Robert Plant Is Not Touring With Led Zeppelin -- Got It?

Posted 9/29/08 11:45 am EST by in Led-Zeppelin


Robert Plant has had it. The once and apparently just-once-again frontman for rock godheads Led Zeppelin is sick and tired of people talking about the could-be-should-be-but-probably-isn't reunion tour that many reports claim is in the works for the group.

After English tabloid The Sun ran a story last week that the group has agreed to a reunion tour (if you're counting, that's at least the sixth time we've heard that rumor in the past six months), Plant put out a statement definitively denying it. According to BBC News, Plant said he will not hit the road with anyone for at least two years after he finishes his current string of dates with bluegrass star Alison Krauss, which wraps up on October 5.

Stairway To Girl Power: Was Spice Girls' Reunion Really Better Than Led Zeppelin's?

Posted 9/19/08 12:05 pm EST by in Led-Zeppelin


Spice GirlsHere's the thing. I'm sure the Spice Girls reunion tour was lovely. I imagine the costumes were really shiny, skimpy and complicated. The energy was SOOOOO HIGH!!!!! The lady-love was off the charts. Hell, the music may have even been decent or whatever.

To be honest, I've never heard of the Vodafone Live Music Awards — though it sounds like something that might be held at a grimy Irish pub in London — but apparently the Girls were voted Best Live Return at said awards last night.

Sway Rocks Out To The Eagles At Hard Rock Park

Posted 6/25/08 5:07 pm EST by in Hard Rock, Led-Zeppelin, Myrtle Beach


There's nothing more exciting than a day at the amusement park. Even as an adult, you still get those butterflies in your stomach thinking about the possibility of riding the marquee roller-coaster.

That roller-coaster for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina's Hard Rock Park would be "Led Zeppelin: The Ride," and let's just say it's one of the most state-of-the-art rides in the business. The other attractions include a music museum and the British Invasion side of the park, which has a London theme and plenty of rock paraphernalia.

I have to say, though, one of my favorites is the Rock and Roll Museum, where you can find plenty of music trivia, celebrity mementos and historical facts as well. I was very fortunate to be escorted through the park by Steve Goodwin, which meant I found out everything there is to know about building an amusement park.

The night I was there ended perfectly with rock legends the Eagles playing one of my all time favorites, "Hotel California"! If you ever get a chance and you are a music lover, make sure you visit.
