Former SOUNDGARDEN/AUDIOSLAVE singer Chris Cornell has told Canada’s Sun Media that he’s not interested in filling Robert Plant’s shoes should those reports about LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham touring next year with a replacement singer come to fruition.
“I would never do anything like that whether I were approached or not,” Cornell said. "It just doesn’t make any sense to me at all. I would not want to go see me performing LED ZEPPELIN songs with the two other guys that used to be in a band called LED ZEPPELIN while Robert Plant is out somewhere touring.
“That’s not a ticket I would buy. God bless 'em, but that’s not LED ZEPPELIN. I find it completely depressing. I’d never do anything like that. I mean just out of respect to the legacy of the band.”
Συμφωνω μαζι σου αλλα τα ονοματα τα αναφερα σαν ενδεικτικα μεγεθους και οχι σαν πιθανους/επιθυμητους frontman για τους ζεπς.
Επισης για αυτο που ακουω απο πολλους περι “εχει φωναρα”, “ειναι φωναρα” κτλ. (για οσους εχει λεχθει αυτο). Η αποψη μου ειναι οτι υπαρχουν παρα πολλες φοβερες φωνες παγκοσμιως. Κατα την γνωμη μου το θεμα ειναι εφοσον βγουν χωρις τον Πλαντ, να αντικατασταθει με εναν με φωνη ΑΑΑ αλλα και το ειδικο βαρος που απαιτειται για να εισαι ο frontman ενος τοσο τεραστιου συγκροτηματος.
Μαλλον εκριναν σωστα τις συνεπειες που θα ειχε το να βγουν σε περιοδεια χωρις τον Πλαντ υπο το ονομα Led Zeppelin. Και επραξαν αξιοπρεπως. Ειχα παρει μια τρομαρα:!:
Παω στοιχημα οτι δεν ειχε περασει ουτε ενα δευτερολεπτο ηι σκεψη απο τον Page να ονομασει την μπαντα Led Zeppelin.Εδω δεν το κανε στην περιοδεια με τον Plant 1994-1998
According to the Robert Plant Newswire, former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant confirmed to the Birmingham Evening Mail on November 6 that he would not be joining guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham on the road for the proposed Zeppelin reunion tour. He said it was partly because he’d be busy working on the follow-up to his awardwinning “Raising Sand” LP.
“In January, I’m starting to record a new album with Alison Krauss and T Bone Burnett,” he revealed, before adding, “but I understand that everyone’s got to eat,” implying that the Plant-less Led Zep has his blessing.
He also imparted one piece of significant information: “They won’t be calling it Led Zeppelin!”
Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham recently confirmed that they are contemplating going on the road without Robert Plant, and have jammed witih several potential replacements. Sources have indicated that the leading candidate for the job is Myles Kennedy of the band Alter Bridge.
When asked about the collaboration, an unnamed spokesperson for Page’s management company, QPrime, told RollingStone.com, “Whatever this is, it is not Led Zeppelin. Not without the involvement of Robert Plant.”
Rumors have been circulating for weeks that Led Zeppelin, minus Plant, have been rehearsing with other singers for a potential tour. Zeppelin reunited last December for a charity concert in London, and speculation about a full tour has been high ever since. But Plant has indicated that he has no desire to do any live work with anyone for at least the next two years.
John Paul Jones confirmed to the BBC that the band has been rehearsing with other vocalists, but he did not mention any names. Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford told a radio show that Steven Tyler had jammed with the group “for fun,” while other names in the rumor mill have included Jack White, Sammy Hagar, Dave Grohl and Chris Cornell. White denied that he was approached, while Cornell said he has not been
Ανακυκλωση πληροφοριων γινεται, αλλα το σιγουρεψαμε πως δεν θα εχουν το ιδιο ονομα
Οι ζεπς θελουν να κανουν τουρ.
Προτειναν στον Πλαντ, τους ειπε τσουκου, κανω τα δικα μου μπλα μπλα μπλα
Πεητζ και λοιποι προτειναν σε διαφορους (οπως ακουγεται), και απο αυτους ο επικρατεστερος ειναι ο φιλτατος Myles Kennedy (oπως ακουγεται) frontman των φανταστικων Αlter Bridge.
Ειχε γινει ντημπεητ αν θα καναν τουρνε με το ονομα Λεντ Ζεππελιν, πραγμα που ξεκαθαριστηκε πως δεν θα γινει (θα εχουν αλλο ονομα δηλαδη).
