Led Zeppelin Reuniting in 2014? Robert Plant Leaves the Possibility Open

The singer hinted at the possibility of a reunion next year in an interview with Australia's "60 Minutes," as Rolling Stone reports. Recently, guitarist Jimmy Page said that a reunion tour never happened because Plant "was busy," and now the frontman is leaving the door wide open for more shows.
"[Jimmy and bassist John Paul Jones] are Capricorns. They don't say a word. They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me. I'm not the bad guy," Plant said in the interview. "You need to see the Capricorns -- I've got nothing to do in 2014."
The one-off reunion show took place in December 2007 at London's O2 arena and the recording of it was released in multiple formats in 2012. At the time, Page and Jones -- who also performed with late drummer John Bonham's son at the concert -- were up for a tour but it never materialized. They explored replacing plant with Steven Tyler or Myles Kennedy but ultimately abandoned the idea.
Plant, for his part, has been making folkier music, first with Alison Krauss and then with his Band of Joy. In 2011, he said he was so focused on his new sound that he "almost can't relate" to Zeppelin anymore. Whether or not this change of heart leads to something or just came about from frustration of years of answering the question, we'll just have to wait and see.

February 21 2013 at 12:14 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI've seen them live several times, each experience was stunning in the music and imagery. The Stones still rock on as the greatest rock and roll band in the world and rightfully so. They can still play at the highest levels and put on a show that's like nothing out there. Can Zepplin pull it off, too? Let's hope we see that question answered.

February 20 2013 at 9:11 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyClearly you are a kid who has never seen the greatest rock and roll band in the world. Shame. Your generation settles for such crap. Mine gave the world Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, CSN&Y and so much more. You have nothing today that can shine their shoes, let alone stand on a stage with a Clapton, Page or Townsend and deserve that honor.

February 28 2013 at 12:50 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate downI grew up on Led. 1969 saw both Led I and Led II released. The first time I heard Led Zeppelin forever changed my musical outlook. They instantly became my favorite band, and, 44 years later, they still are. I got to see them 3 times in concert, and I hope they come out swinging and tour again. It would be nice if they had some new, kick-ass material and practiced enough to be on top of their game. Whatever they decide, I'm sure I'll be pleased. I'd write some more, but 1973's Houses of the Holy beckons. Zep's music never gets old.
