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...
Ok gang, I'm about to knowingly commit rock sacrilege. I'm not going to provide too much comment here, I just need you to listen to the attached clips and notice the dates. All commentary is from Wikipedia. Some songs were deliberately cut off by me once the point was made.1. Babe I'm Gonna Leave you by Joan Baez 19621.

I'll say. And a proud country, and a happy rest of the world, at that. Yes, America, the world is relieved and cheering today, because the world has been suffering, just like you have.

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.

Fans heading out to Bonnaroo 2008 should keep their eyes and ears peeled for that rumored Led Zeppelin reunion. Despite the fact that the festival's '08 line-up left out the iconic rock act, who recently reunited for a one-off gig in London, there are some coincidences that lead us to think that dispelling those "Led Zeppelin's Playing Bonnaroo" might be a bit premature.Sans the Zep, the line-u...

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."

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
