98.5 KOME – Fan Blog

Many thanks to 70′s Classic Rock Blog for the heads up on this Contest, if you are a Zeppelin fan, *and who in the world is not??? * you need to run, not walk to this website – WholeLottaLedZeppelin – and place your entry for a Autographed Fender Squire Stratocaster signed by the members of Led Zeppelin!!!

Can we just trade kids? A House? Nah, guess that wont fly. I entered of course, and if I win you will hear me screaming from the moon!

On other Zeppelin news…. I was listening to Greg Kihn’s morning show on KFOX and he was talking about how Zeppelin had considered Steven Tyler for lead at one point? Okay, I like Steve fine, as the lead of Aerosmith, but as a lead to Zeppelin … just don’t think so.
So where is the whole reunion tour right now? Well, from what I can find out so far via the numerous websites and postings at news sites there is a new Biography by Mick Wall ~

according to a report in the Sunday edition of the San Jose Mercury, Led zeppelin authority Mick Wall who has written a Biography of the band entitled When Giants Walked The Earth ( amazon here) says that a reunion is “unlikely’ due to Plants state of current happiness singing with Alison Krauss who Plant is touring with and did an album; Raising Sand with.

Mick also states that Page “is a shadow of his former self, who finds it impossible to leave the pomp of the past behind“. I have to wonder about Page being a “shadow of his former self”, from what I have read and heard he is on top of the world but Mick is said to know and have interviewed the members of Zeppelin many times so I guess he would know.

Mick also states that another reason Plant wont be jumping hurdles to reunite for a tour with the other members of Zeppelin is that the old gang is as Mick put it, a bunch of grumps.
I question why a person who is said to have had a falling out with Page over the book, and who is reported to have harsh things to say about Page would even be interviewed for an impartial report…. where is the state of reporting heading anyway?

I would die if I were able to get an interview with Page, I have heard his playing recently, and have viewed some of the youtube videos of the Reunion shows in England and he seems to be the same great talent he always has been, maybe better.

Seems that Page has threatened to sue Mick over his book, I hope we at least have another bio from a far less jaded author. I also find it funny that Mick states he has a bad thing going on between him and Page yet he used Page’s image on the cover of the book….

If you are interested in buying the book, you can check Orion the publisher or from Amazon , priced at 29.75 plus a 2.00 sourcing fee ( wth?) since this is an import.

And now, since it has been forever since I placed a vid here, check out this rehearsal video Led Zeppelin doing Ten Years Gone from 1996 ~ ( trying to tell me Page is not his great self, get real! Hey Page, you should do yourself a favor and check out Virtual Zeppelin on the web, just in case Plant is to busy to give his fans a show )
