With the prospect of a Led Zeppelin reunion not shaping up in the near future, this is pretty much the best news we could get from the rock gods: they’ve hinted that they may soon release more compilations of unheard material. This announcement comes in the wake of the release of the expanded versions of their first three albums: “Led Zeppelin,” “Led Zeppelin II” and “Led Zeppelin III”. “There’s certainly more things that can be done,” guitarist Jimmy…
Last time we checked it, Led Zeppelin members wanted a reunion, but the biggest problem was Plant – Robert Plant dismissed a reunion on numerous occasions, despite the famous O2 gig in 2008. After all the drama, after discussions of going on without the man, after the dust settled and everybody chilled, out of the blue, Robert Plant shows up and says “Hey, I’m free, let’s make a reunion!”. Well those weren’t exactly his words,…
What’s that old adage? “When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.” Yeah, well in this case, my assumption didn’t hurt anyone. In hindsight, it was a tad lazy – and perhaps made an ass outta me – but certainly not harmful in any way.

Is that Gollum impersonating a clown? If anything, the illustration above, that’s actually the cover art for Robert Plant’s upcoming new solo album titled “Band of Joy”, depicts a very interesting scene. If you’re curious how the new Robert Plant album sounds, you can check out his cover of Los Lobos’ “Angel Dance”, where the former Led Zeppelin frontman lays down some tight dirty blues vocals on top of a swampy instrumentation.

You read that right. Led Zeppelin released its debut 41.5 years ago, along with one of the band’s best and most iconic tracks, “Dazed and Confused.” Yet, the band is only now being sued over copyright infringement by one Jake Holmes who claimed he filed for the song’s melody two years prior to the album’s (and song’s) release. TMZ* has a snippet of both Holmes’ 1967 version, as well as Zep’s classic. The lyrics are…
I may piss some people off with this post, but this sounds pretty…notable, to say. We’ve written I think douzens of posts about the alleged Led reunion, speculating rumors and officials press releases alike, but we’ve still yet to see any palpable. Today, Jimmy Page’s manager confirmed that the band is set to go on tour and also intend to record a new record, all without Robert Plant. The band last played together at last…
