New Led Zeppelin Vocalist?

2008-09-24 by wakeupdead | 34 Comments
Robert Plant has stated that he cannot tour with Led Zeppelin, because he is already touring with Alison Krauss, but rumours of a Led Zeppelin tour continue.

Jimmy Page, John-Paul Jones and Jason Bonham have confirmed that they are searching for someone to take Plant's place in the spotlight. One source told Britain's The Sun that they have already met with several singers in London, and have chosen an American for their new singer.

this could be cool, never the same...but still cool. If I was to see zep I'd care more to see page anyway. Obviously the whole band would be ideal...but hey would I turn down 3...err 2 out of 4? no...no I would not.

Let's start a market listing odds for potential recruits. I'll kick it off with Axl Rose at 80-1.

Dont think I dig this so much. It seems to me Plant is just staying on tour to avoid a Zep reunion. That one show they did recently was very good from what i saw on youtube. Why cant Plant just succumb to it?! Its unfair, and its even more unfair we're gonna get a Led Zeppelin without him!

Scott Weiland is looking a bit of a bargain at 8-1!

Perhaps another Scott, Mr Stapp, is worth a punt at 100-1, but its extremely doubtful!

I wonder if they considered Andrew Stockdale, he sounds pretty close to Plant. Bit of an age gap though

What the hell? He'd rather play shitty country songs than play with Led Zeppelin? Fuck Allison Krap. And fuck Robert Pussy too.

It's kind of like paying to see Van Halen without David / Eddie playing; its retarded.

Yeah, I would really love to see them with Plant as well, but if I had an opportunity to see them without Plant, I can't lie, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

What about this singer for a replacement:

I think they should get Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes. He did a great job with Jimmy Page before, and they sang plenty of Zeppelin songs together.

I started playing the video, then when I was just listening not watching I almost couldn't tell the difference.This Message Edited On 09.24.08

Mogwai have a better chance of getting a vocalist than a Plant-less Led Zepp would

That's almost downright depressing. Unless the vocalist sounded identical, it would be a very different Zepp.

^^ Why do images of Bill Cosby never fail to make me laugh.

This will not sound like LZ at all without Plant unless the guy is practically identical.This Message Edited On 09.24.08

Tbh, I never liked Robert Plant's voice that much, so I'm interested. I wonder whether they'll record another album with a new singer too?

wtf?? horsesh it! At bonnaroo him and Krauss played Battle of Nevermore, and it completed my teenage years, yet he is still touring with her!! Their set, other than the aforementioned song, was such a downer, wake the f uck up robert!
Regardless, I'd still pay a good dollar to see Page and JPJ. I'm depressed.

There's too much musician worship in classic rock. Whenever a classic rock band comes back without a famous member, everyone gets mad and has a tantrum.

Plant made led zeppelin, but his voice got raspy at the end. The guy for jimmy page and the black crowes would be a good option if he was really needed.
