Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant?

[legalsea]

It is rumored that Jimmy Page wishes to take Led Zeppelin out on tour, to follow-up on the success of that concert last December. However, Robert Plant has stated that he will not be available for at least two years.

Here is a link to that story: http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/2008/10/29/7244251-ap.html

Note that Canoe Jam! is a very worthy Canadian website with news about music, tours, etc.

Anyway, this morning the 'word' is that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith has agreed to be the singer for the Led tour. No link available for this rumor as yet. It is being 'said' that Page does not want a 'Plant clone', but, if Led tours without Plant, he (Page) wants a fresh spin on the music.

I do think that Tyler would be an interesting choice. Frankly, while Plant was always excellent in the recording studio the two times I saw Zeppelin live (back in the early 1970s) I thought his voice seemed lacking in person. I still recall how he butchered Stairway one concert.

One person noted that Steven Tyler could probably do an excellent voice for When the Levee Breaks.

Thoughts? Suggestions for a replacement singer?

Love Steven Tyler, but if I'm going to see Zeppelin, I want to see Plant...

I don't get it. He has been touring non-stop with Aerosmith.
He just went back into rehab...take a break Tyler.

I saw him is Dallas, still looked good.

Exactly. I love Steven Tyler, love Aerosmith, but I would never pay to go see Zeppelin with somebody else singing. You just can't replace Robert Plant.

It's like the current group touring as The Beach Boys. It's just Mike Love and a bunch of musicians. Sometimes Al Jardine. But with two of the three Wilson brothers gone and Brian on his own, it isn't the Beach Boys anymore.

I can't imagine haw they will perform without Robert. Led Zep is one of my favourite rock bands. I like them because of the music and the way they play. Robert Plant is one of the best rock voices. At the stage he looks amazing as a lead vocal of Led Zeppelin. I hope they will find the right way to perform together again.

Aaiiee!! That's just all kinds of wrong!

Better they don't tour at all than to soil the name of a Great Band. (Yes, I'm referring to you, Queen + Paul Rogers!)
