JIMMY PAGE On LED ZEPPELIN: 'If You're Going To Do A Reunion, You Need Four Members' - Sep. 6, 2008
LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page has dismissed speculation that his recent jam sessions with bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham would lead to a ZEPPELIN reunion tour. Speaking at a Toronto film festival press conference where he was promoting the documentary film "It Might Get Loud", Page said, "We're not actually really recording. We played at the O2 (concert in London last year). That was our reunion. It's nothing as monumental as what people are speculating and projecting."

He added, "If you're going to do a reunion, you need four members," referring to lead singer Robert Plant's commitment to touring with U.S. country singer Alison Krauss.

"It Might Get Loud", which is described as "a love letter to the electric guitar," features Page, U2 guitarist The Edge and WHITE STRIPES frontman Jack White discussing their musical backgrounds and jamming with each other on a soundstage, according to Reuters.

Game over is right.

It was over back in 1980 on September 25... Damn he was only 32. I can't even imagine ruling the rock world at age 32.

when i read the headline i thought the fourth member missing was bonzo, but from reading the comment, it seems he's actually talking about robert plant missing from the page / jones / bonzo jr sessions.

how many times are we going to hear about this. Until Plant changes his mind and a full reunion tour is confirmed they might as well STFU.

Much as I'm a fan of Led Zeppelin the rumors on the continuation of the reunion tour are quickly losing momentum and Page and Plant have already indicated where their current loyalties lie.

If you saw the London reunion show back in December it was the closest you'll have seen Led Zeppelin. Otherwise don't hold your breath on anything happening further but for the love of Christ request something other than fucking "Stairway To Heaven" on the radio if you're trying to recapture the years when Robert Plant got you sexually aroused. They did release 7 albums in their career, you know.

In pro wrestling terminology, Page's denial is called a "swerve". You can bet the rent on A Zep reunion. Jason Bonham leaving FOREIGNER was the big clue.

As a youngster who never got to see Led Zeppelin I would adore if they toured again, they don't have to make a new cd or anything, but it be nice to see them, everyone loves led zeppelin regardless of their favorite music genre.

Come on now Plant, everyone is practically screaming for your return, why disappoint so many past and present fans?

Plant knows he cannot sing those songs anymore. Maybe for one night. But a tour would be over by the third or fourth show. Plant cannot sing like that anymore. He annot hit those notes, and he would tear his voive trying. His voice is only good for the type of music he is making with Krauss. I think he simply doesn't want to embarass himself and kill the Zep image.

This reunion should have been done in the early 90's. It's just too late now.

Jack Bauer is spot on.

1- Is not a money issue. They won't be able to even spend 1/4 of what they have now before they die.
2- Robert Plant doesn't have the voice anymore, and he has the right to leave the legacy intact.
3- LED ZEPPELIN died with Bonham. They stated it that way back then. The Ahmet Ertegun concert was a right thing to do, as he signed them without hearing them, letting LED ZEPPELIN become what they became.
4- The music he is doing now with Alisson its outstanding, dark blues and folk, handmade craft. Awesome music for a dawning career.

I gotta agree with BasaJ, love Zep, but Plant doesn't have the tools anymore. What he is doing is very suitable for him now...as argued in other blogs, I am also of the mind set that that bombastic style of rock is a young man's game. Zep was so much about the energy as well. Cockrock to the max. I like the Legacy as it was. One show was fine. It was all tuned down, didn't think much of it.
