I never saw that coming? Did they record some more really good music? Live Nation and the surviving members of Led Zeppelin announced a new studio album and North American Tour dates today. Led Zeppelin founder and guitarist Jimmy Page said the yet to be named album was completed and was a montage of songs left behind and new collaborations by the surviving members.“We rolled new tape on everything” said Page. “These are not outtakes or b-sides that never made it to production. These are the first new Led Zeppelin songs since 1982”. When asked what fans could expect from the new recordings vocalist Robert Plant replied “thunder”. Plant went on to explain that the goal of the album was to capture some of that “explosiveness” Led Zeppelin would expound on stage in the early days. Plant then added “We knew from the beginning there would be a tour to accompany the album. The goal was to write songs we could really rock live and give the fans a kick in their pants”. Jason Bonham sat in for his father the late John Bonham on the recordings. Jason will also be joining the band for the tour dates. Jason said he is most excited about the band’s 3 day residence at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. The band will duplicate the set list they played during the 1973 filming of the critically acclaimed concert movie “The Song Remains the Same” during all three shows in New York. This will include Jason Bonham playing his father’s now legendary drum solo “Moby Dick”. The U. S. tour is expected to hit all major US cities in 2016. The band is also scheduling shows in smaller more intimate theaters across the U.S. and Canada during the tour. Tickets for the intimate theater shows will be budget priced and available through a lottery system only. Led Zeppelin’ 2016 tour will be sponsored by Virgin Mobile. http:////www.tmrzoo.com/2015/65668/led-zeppelin-announces-new-studio-album-and-u-s-tour-dates" rel="nofollow - http:////www.tmrzoo.com/2015/65668/led-zeppelin-announces-new-studio-album-and-u-s-tour-dates ------------- Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

And it's just under an article about a new Fender bass consisting of a wooden pole in a metal bucket. If it were true, it would be all over the internet.

I'm pretty sure this joke has been done before. It's recurring, I remember it from like five years ago 1) They're way too old to "recreate" anything. They were too old in 1979 to recreate anything. 2) There is no new Led Zeppelin material or undeveloped recordings. They put everything worth anything on the table, recorded it, and eventually released it. 3) In the words of Neil Young, it's better to burn out than to fade away. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

| Plant has said a million times "Hell NO" "NEVER" and "FORGET IT" to Page----so that is part of the joke too. It's never going to happen and has been that way for some time. |

Well you got me for a moment... But I doubt Plant voice suits this kind of music nowadays. It could just be sad. |

| didn't they do a one off performance in the past 5 or so years and the consensus was they sounded good. |

well sure guys heading toward 70 aren't going to sound like they did at 30---can't think of a band who does--some say the Stones sound good but they sound like a Las Vegas version of the Stones at this point--not that I'm a fan---I do like Zep however

I'd tend to agree about the Stones still sounding good only because they strictly play blues (blues-rock) and the older they get the grittier and rattier they sound, which is perfect. That's why Keith Richards hears the Who and Zep as "hollow", and from his point of view, they are; “[Moon] could play to [Townshend] like nobody else in the world. But if somebody threw him into a session with somebody else, it was a disaster. There’s nothing wrong with that; sometimes you’ve got that one paintbrush, and you rock it." And though he shouldn't have said it and has probably gained legions of new enemies, he's right of course. But people hear it out of context or misperceive him because they aren't working musicians. Actually Page & Plant have come a very long way since the LiveAid disaster and other performance fumbles (a normal thing for them but had become exacerbated over the years due to lack of practice), and I give them huge points for going strong even today. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

Heart cover several Zep songs on their shows in the encore sets......They do an outstanding job of it, probably better than Page and Plant could do now. -------------

Heart has been covering Zeppelin since the Wilson sisters joined the band, and yes, they do it very well. You can often hear the influence in their music. I was surprised by how good the Black Crowes sounded with Jimmy Page. For truly unique versions, listen to Dread Zeppelin - Reggaefied Zeppelin tunes sung by an Elvis impersonator, all of it well done. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Seeing as the reference is bogus regarding Led Zeppelin, I believe the new album should be called ZoNo. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

It is comical that Plant plays so much Zeppelin in his touring sets then turns around and tells the press, 'Oh no. I've moved on from Zeppelin.' It's like walking out of your house drunk and saying I don't drink outdoors ever. ------------- Deafmoon |
