Well Page is part of Led Zep but he is not the entire group. Here is the problem, Robert Plant the stuffed jeans wearing lead singer point blank refuses a reunited tour- and Page is just chomping on the bit to hit the road. Whats a geezer to do?
I have to pause to appreciate Roberts stance. Honest to god why these old timers want to ruin their cool images but hitting the stage again is beyond me. You cannot be the band you were at 20 when you’re 60 but this Peter Pan ideal is hanging tough. Just like ‘super’ models rock bands have a shelf life. I don’t know about you but i don’t want a “Whole Lot of Love” from those guys..ew.
So Page is getting snarky joking that he would go on tour as Led Zep with out Plant, that smells of lawsuit, doesn’t it!? Speaking at The Silver Clef Awards Page responded to the fan wish to headline Glastonbury Fest. “I agree with them, it’s good music isn’t it,” he said, sarcastically adding. ”Maybe I could just go out on my own then and call myself Led Zeppelin.”
I think the reason people want it is the fact Led Zeppelin’s music has touched people all the way through and every year seems to bring new young musicians and a new audience,” Page says. “I’ve just been out promoting the first three releases of Led Zeppelin’s albums and it’s young people that are there and young journalists — it’s not the old school. So, I know what it means to people and it’s a really nice thing.”
No. Do not tour- let the teens love you for what you were and purchase your back catalog and merchandise. Dont shatter the illusiaon with greed.
