JASON BONHAM: 'I Would Do A LED ZEPPELIN Tour In A Heartbeat' - June 13, 2008

Gigwise.com reports that Jason Bonham, the son of LED ZEPPELIN's original drummer John Bonham, has said that he would tour with LED ZEPPELIN "in a heartbeat."

Bonham took over his late father's drum seat when the band reformed for a one-off reunion show in London last year.

The concert, at the O2 Arena, was watched by 20,000 fans, although over a million people registered for tickets for the event.

Since the concert, rumors have been rife as to whether the band will announce any more shows.

Frontman Robert Plant is currently promoting "Raising Sands", his album with Alison Krauss, on a U.S. tour.

Speaking to the BBC, Bonham said: "It's up to them but if it was up to me, I'd love to."

Bonham, who said the reunion show was "better than I could have imagined," said he hoped to be “put into the loop” regarding more shows.

"My fingers are crossed and I would do it in a heartbeat," he said.

	Jason is at the front of the line for the job. I'm sure he's the envy of many, many thousands of drummers. For first poster... Jason is in a little band called Foreigner right now too. It's not like he's lieing around the couch scarfing Cheetos. Now, my message to Robert Plant: Yes Alison Krauss is a tasty piece of tail but shelve your flippin' ego and do the Zep tour that MILLIONS of us want.

	"For first poster... Jason is in a little band called Foreigner right now too. It's not like he's lieing around the couch scarfing Cheetos." i'd have as much respect for him "scarfing cheetos" as opposed to playing in that train wreck of a band. how many members have they had at this point....?

	Who really thinks Foreigner could get in the way of Led Zeppelin?!?! I pretty confident Bonham or any other drummer for that matter would drop anything on a moment's notice for the Zeppelin gig. Just imagine: phone: (riiiiiing!!) Jason Bonham: "Hello?" Jimmy Page: "Jason! It's ON, mate! Robert's agreed to do the big reunion tour, promoters are going to pay us a hundred million dollars, the merchandising will ser records, and we'll get all the free publicity in the world! Get your ass over here for rehearsals, ASAP!" Jason Bonham: "Gee, uhh... I don't know, Jimmy. I mean, sounds fun and all, but I kinda got this other gig going now with FOREIGNER, you know?" Jimmy Page: "Oh, I understand. No problem. We'll just cancel it, then. But hey, keep in touch, alright?"

	COMMENT \| of course he would posted by : Revolver7SZ 6/13/2008 4:59:08 PM
