Finally, we’re pretty bummed that what should’ve been a triumphant Led Zeppelin tour has turned into a bad version of VH-1’s Supergroup. The LA Times thinks some good can come out of JPJ and Jimmy Page’s decision to move forward without Plant and lists five ways to avoid disaster.

Andrew Bird and Yo Yo Ma? Does it get any awesomer?!
I completely disagree with that article, and what I guess is your snarky assent to it. Who would want to see that show? If Robert Plant wants to quit, fine. They can still be Led Zeppelin. Only songs from the new album? Please. That’s retarded.
Who is this clown, or any of us to tell perhaps the greatest guitar god of all time what to do. I just want to be along for the ride. I’m stoked. You guys have too high an opinion of your own opinions.
How can they still call themselves Led Zeppelin without Plant and Bonham? Sorry if I’m bummed that instead of getting the real deal, we’re gonna get the equivalent of Van Halen with Gary Cherone.
You’re talking semantics B. Really, what’s in a name? And man, you’re like 30, 35 right? I could understand if you were some kind of purist because you saw the original Zep live.
I guess they would have to lower ticket prices if they use a different name, so that’s ok. But the idea that they shouldn’t go ahead and do it because Plant wants to sing duets now is weak, IMO. Who do you blame for your being “bummed?” I blame Plant and say to the others “bring it on.” Whatever you call yourselves.
With respect, I think the guy who wrote the original article uses a brandy snifter to savor the smell of his farts.
Too each their own. I don’t have “too high an opinion of my own opinion” to begrudge anyone else who wants to see JPJ and Jimmy Page with Myles Kennedy. Enjoy, Oliver and thanks for reading.
Hah. Fair enough. I will.
