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,…

With a springy click of a mouse button, I pause Marillion’s “Kayleigh” long enough to inform you of this: Robert Plant, 1974’s most popular pop singer, shall be releasing his new album, Band of Joy, on September 14. I will also also inform you of this: NPR, they of omnivorous, insatiable musical appetites and disconcertingly-voiced DJs, are streaming the album in its entirety until that very date. Having listened to precisely “some” of the album…
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.

"Who needs Led Zeppelin when you've got an ukulele and ass."
There has been a huge amount of attention directed at Led Zeppelin after the O2 gig, but not many clear things have seen the light of day since. The word was out that they were getting ready for a handful of concerts, but then the band seemed to hang by a thread and a bit later, Robert Plant gave the word out that Led Zeppelin is not going to tour again. Recently, Jimmy Page went…
I wouldn’t dare to guess what will really happen to Led Zep; ever since their O2 gig (actually, even before that), there have been all sort of rumors and “certainties” surrounding the band. At first, a tour seemed almost certain, and it was set for September. Then the word was out that Led Zep will not tour. After all these things, now it seems there will be some shows. Yeah, as it turns out, they’ll…
The soap opera continues ladies and gents! After the already infamous O2 gig and their meeting in January it seemed that everything was going towards a tour in September. But then, Robert Plant stepped in and spoke his mind: Led Zep will not tour. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones are featured in the new issue of Uncut reflecting on Led Zeppelin’s long history and what lies ahead for them as a band….
