Man, do I feel so old now. I loved his music back in the days.

I love led zeppelin!
It says the songs aren't plant singing lead tho. I like his voice. He's one of my favourite singers. Still my favourite band.
Would be great to hear them.

Thanks for posting this.

That really is awesome and great!!!

I recently got to see Robert Plant live. I will have to say, he's still got that amazing voice!! I loved it and had a really good time. I'm not a huge fan of his solo stuff but he sure played some zep songs and it was so cool.

Thanks for sharing!!

Woo hoo!
I am eagerly looking forward to some new good music! That's great that he chose to release it!

Cool find ... both him and you
Be interesting to hear some new old stuff , I found this amusing bit ...

“I’m desperately trying to get this one track – or the two tracks of John Paul Jones singing lead. And so far he’s up to giving me two cars and a greenhouse not to get them on the album.

Wow, I haven't voluntarily listened to Zep in a LONG time, and I was just now listening to Jimmy Page's demo of Ten Years Gone and his Isolated tracks to Ramble On for the past half hour...

Then I come here and read this???

Synchronicity baby!!!

They were always a little witchy.
I've read where Bobby Plant would be in a trance-like state after their shows. He'd just sit there and count quietly to himself. Look up the info about them at the Texas International Pop Festival 1969.

I read a story Led Zepplin stole their great song ideas from a black dude who when they were developing their style in early days, there was a black guy down the street from them that played guitar and used all his stuff he made up. I wouldn't be surprised if this story is true.

Wait till you discover that Jimmy Page is in Possession of the largest Loch Ness Monster collection
in private hands.

Peachy. More boring music from a boring band to go along with all the numerous Zep tunes that clog up the worthless radio. I stopped voluntarily listening to LZ around 1990 and 23 years later still can't get away from them.

They may be one of the Big Three but I'll take the other two, any day, any time, even their worst output is better than LZ's best. They have been dead since 1980, can't they STAY dead? If I hear the Godawful Kashmir one more time I may have to strangle myself as that's one of the worst rock tunes I know of. I'll take Purple's "remake", Perfect Strangers, ANY day as it's got better vocals, better lyrics, a better riff and isn't so bloody long that it makes me search frantically for sharp objects to either kill the cd or myself.

On what day did God create Led Zeppelin and couldn't he have rested on that day also? Maybe I'll jam some Q-tips into my ears so I'll go deaf. I may lose out on all the good rock n roll, but to never hear this band again would almost make it worth it.

Kashmir is genius and beautiful.

I'm glad I don't have your ears!

Kashmir is genius and beautiful.

Absolutely agree , how anyone can call it "Godawful Kashmir" is beyond me .
Just for you SpanishArcher ... Kick back and feel the power ....


Awesomeness at its most awesome .

Jimmy Page is the custodian of all Led Zeppelin intellectual property. He has very strong ideas of how the group's legacy should be presented. He is also, as is well known, a miser.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for these to come out.

Incidentally, I heartily agree with both Page's miserliness with respect to releasing old Zeppelin material as well as with Plant's stubborn refusal to participate in a Led Zeppelin revival. Thanks to the two of them, Led Zeppelin's legacy will remain unsullied, unlike that of nearly every other great rock act of the past.

You hang on to your pocketbook, old Led Wallet, and I'll hang on to mine.

LOL! Thanks, but no thanks. I just woke up and want to stay awake for a while.

I know it's the unpopular thing to say but hey, that's me. Seems that's what I do. I also can't stand the Stones and the Doors. I'm a hit at parties when the talk turns to music lol.

Another thing that grinds my gears is the fact you can't get a proper live album from LZ. TSRTS is spliced together from numerous shows and that's all I know of. There may have been others in the years since but I don't pay attention to bands I don't listen to so may be wrong.

There are a few gems, not enough to fill a album.

No Quarter
Thank You
Ramble On
In The Evening
Black Dog
Stairway
Battle Of Evermore

Here's a couple of interesting remakes you guys will dig.

RONNIE, IS THAT YOU???

LOL.

This from the guy with RJD as his avatar??? Ok, I liked him, but compared to Zeppelin it's like listening to elementary school rhymes...Holy Diver? His solo work is crap.

Cough, cough, barf, barf...

NOW, MOB RULES? That's another story. And Blackmore's Rainbow...Well Ok, Stargazer is probably one of my all time faves...

Nevermind

Aww man, if this is true, I'm gonna be so psyched into getting that album.

I wonder what rare gems Mr. Plant found?

Some of Dio's solo work ain't that great but I'll take those first four albums and the 2000 Magica album any day. I never grew out of the music I grew up with. I do think I'll pull out some H and H and BS for today's listening pleasure, live Mob Rules sounds good. Maybe even some Elf.

Rainbow Rising is one of the greatest albums in rock history, IMO. Recently got a t-shirt of that one, I just had to have it. Made for some interesting conversation the other day as two guys came up to me to talk about Rainbow, somewhat surprising to me as I figure they are relegated to a footnote in rock history to most people.

I almost broke the radio where I was at yesterday. Listening to mostly junk for 99% of the day, then, of course, along comes Kashmir. It just had to happen. I turned it down but did think of all you guys in this thread and chuckled a bit. Funny thing happened while listening, though, I was sorting records at the thrift store, mostly Perry Como and It's Polka Time! records, but almost the instant I touched Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever, the song came on the radio. Weird timing on that one.

If there's any reason to smash a radio (other than it spewing out today's crap), any Ted Nugent song being played out of one would be a definite reason to give it a good kiss from my Doc Martens!
