Billboard ran a story today saying they know via sources that Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy is first in line for the Led Zeppelin frontman gig, since original Zep frontman Robert Plant said "nay":http://mog.com/blog_post/content/265/203959 to a Zep tour. For those of you who are not familiar with this Kennedy character, my first thought upon hearing this was, "Oh great. A guy who sings so...
The last time Page, Plant and John Paul Jones performed together was nearly two decades ago, that was before last December's monumental Led Sepplin reunion show London, where the trio was joined by late Zepplin drummer John Bonham's son Jason behind the kit.

What is up with Led Zeppelin? In what is perhaps the most passive public argument ever, this week has been chalk full of web stories where Jimmy Page's manager Peter Mensch "said this" and then he "said that." It's hard to keep up. BBC 6 Musicreports that Page is all for a reunion and bassist John Paul Jones and second generation drummer Jason Bonham "had a really good time rehearsing, the thr...
News broke this week that the remaining Led Zeppelin members John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, along with drummer Jason Bonham, son of late Zep drummer John Bonham were thinking of hitting the road and recording a new album. The only problem? They "are trying out a couple of singers" John Paul Jones told BBC Radio 4. Seems the threesome are eager to get back on stage, even if it means leaving beh...

What's the closest I got to hearing Led Zeppelin's 2 hour plus live performance at London's O2 arena last night - via cell phone. When my pal in attendance called any static seemed to dissolve and the jamming on "Dazed and Confused" that I could hear through his BlackBerry made me only think to myself, "Damn, they are tearing it up and jamming. I should be there." The reviews flooding Web sites...
What a way to kick off the weekend! Today news "via Uncut magazine":http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/led_zeppelin/news/11294 that Led Zeppelin is open to the idea of heading back to the studio to record what would essentially be the follow-up to 1982's Coda. Well at least John Paul Jones is ... sorta ... just a little bit...actually, he'd need to sit on it for a bit."I'd have to think about that," Jone

"We'll be announcing the confirmed lineup toward the e...
I cannot receive the new Rhapsody features like an American. For I am Un-American. Today many Moggers compared this state of separation to the apartheid years in South Africa. Others, more considered thinkers, say it's much worse than that. Well, if that's the case, call me Nelson Mogdela.Because, at the risk of being called a brown (or vanilla-white) noser, I want to look on the bright side. T...
There are some rumors you just pass up, but then there are those that you hear and you want to pass on to every person you know. This would be one of them. The "this" being that Led Zeppelin may possibly play three nights at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden (I'm there!). According to a report from UK tabloid The Sun someone backstage at the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert on December 1...
