Plant says go ahead without me

I heard today that Robert Plant said to the rest of his former band mates to go ahead with the tour...but without him out front. Paige and Jones say they want to tour, but will do it without Plant. They said they will use a different band name. I think this is very classy of all sides. Robert doesn't want to tour, but Jimmy does. The class thing is to respect both sides. That's why they are who they are. What do you think?

I agree. You CANNOT go on touring with the name Led Zeppelin with a singer besides Robert Plant. It's great they will keep touring so people can still hear the great music and Page will undoubtedly continue to rock any venue they storm into. "If it keeps on rainin' the levee's gonna break."

Everyone knows that Robert Plant cannot be replaced. As long as Paige, Jones and Bonham hold true to their rock'n roll roots, they will do fine. If they don't, it will be 'The Battle of Evermore'.

JUmM... I think that Paige and Jones could gather a lot of fans during the tour, but a lot of them will be dissapointed if Plant isnt in it. The voice of Robert and Jimmy's guitar are the trademark of Led Zep TOGETHER... If they chose to go ahead with another name, then that's just fine by me, but its definetely not the same Happy MyLotting and have a nice day! Xp

If the fans are made aware that this IS NOT Zeppelin with a NEW lead singer, they won't be disappointed at all. They will all do well I think. Have a great day yourself!!!

I think the class thing to do is to not tour, I'm sorry. This is not like the guess who touring without Burton Cummings, although that was pretty bad, too. But the real big bands like the who, rolling stones,(imagine the rolling stones touring without Mick Jaggar.)is atotally different story. Don't get me wrong, they will attract a crowd, but not as big as if Robert Plant was with them and they probably won't be able to get as much money for the tickets either. It's like another mylotter said, they should instead, just rerelease the film "the song remains the same" and show that in theaters.

I hear your pain. And agree to a point. But they aren't touring as Led Zeppelin. They are the guys that USED to be in the band Led Zeppelin. I think they will do fine. If Plant says go ahead without me, then they should, and it looks like they will...just not as Zeppelin. All of them have gone seperate ways before.

Im sad Percy decided not to join the others...he is disappointing a gazillion fans in the world, me included. They should NOT go on as "Led Zeppelin" without him, but they should go on nonetheless. I hope they remain classy, I'd hate for it to all turn fowl.
