There has been a rumour for ages now about Led Zep reforming with Dave Grohl on drums.
Anyone think this will ever happen, and is it a good idea?

LOL!
If Zep reforms, the only one on drums should be Jason Bonham, otherwise their rep is really tarnished.

Jason Bonham or not, Plant, Page and Jones should just LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE.
I've seen nothing in any of those Zep reunions or Page and Plant Unledded/Clarksdale albums and tours that really did any justice to the Led Zepp name (some attempts were better than others - the best being the 1990 Knebworth performance of Wearing and Tearing), and seeing Plant in his 60s, wrinkled, voice shot, trying to bleat out Whole Lotta Love...not so much.
Am sure if they did reform it would sell out wherever it went, but I honestly wouldn't bother with it.

ZEPPELIN is WAY beyond being able to "tarnish" their legacy..they disbanded 26 years ago...their place & LEGEND is secure....
But why bother? They're old men now.....................they have NOTHING left to prove.
FORD and I were just talking about them playing at Live Aid with Phil Collins in '85. I see NOTHING wrong with ZEP reforming now in any form cos they've more than secured their legendary status. They know that they'll never be the band they were during their zenith with Bonham. So what am I saying? Anything the remaining members do 'tis always welcome and kewl in my book. A tour would be stellar cos I'm positive Zep feels the same way that everyone else does regarding both their history and legacy. The only fucking stupid thing that any remaining member has done was when Page hooked up with David Covercheese yeeyas ago to make a quick buck. However, I think He (Page) redeemed himself by doing the Plant/Page shit shortly afterwords.

Why???? Can we not EVER let a great band just die?????
VH wasn't finished, so we looooooooong for more. But Zep....they DID it. It's DONE......We don't need more....
What...do you want to be in a crowd of 50 + year old fuckers who want to relive the past????? No...I don't in this case. Last REAL album- In Through The Out Door '79....Sort of Album- Coda....'81
Give me new material and then talk to me about tours.....

In a purely selfish way...I'd like to see Zeppelin...but only in a fucking time machine...
I was lucky enough to see Page and Plant...and that's good enough for me...
Bonzo is dead...and I have no interest in seeing the band with Grohl...or Jason...

I think Plant will do it...
wasn't it John Paul Jones who put the kabosh on this earlier?

Yep. He and Bonzo drove that train. Fucking Jones would just stare at Bonham during alot of it. (live performance)
They should re-name that vid set "We won the west with Bonzo."

no, no, no. plant CANNOT sing at all. did you hear his last album? his voice is a whisper of what it once was and 20+ years out of his band....i think its better to remember how it was rather than to have someone like plant massacre the material. did you see them sing kasmir in maybe 97 or 98...they got together for some performance..i had a video of it..i cant remember what it was from, HORRIBLE.
hmm, doesnt that sound parallel to something else we talk about anyway??

Plants voice is shot for most of the catalouge.

I tend to agree that they have nothing left to prove, so what would be the point? *BUT* if Jason was bangin the skins, I would fork out the hard earned oxford scholars to see this...

I'd want to see Led Zeppelin if they reformed but I wouldn't be happy about it.
They should've reformed in the 90s if at any time, instead of doing that dumbass Plant/Page tour and being pricks to JPJ.

I agree Plant's voice is not what it was
But I would fork out to see em too

Was fortunate to see them in 98. They kicked my fucking ass.
They did it right on that second tour (Clarksdale) with just a four-piece band.
If they never reform, that is ok. I have seen all 3 remaining guys live.
And I have How The West Was Won With Bonzo.
Don't need anymore.

Zep shouldn't reform....as much as I would like to see it.....
it's not the same without John Bohnam.....and Robert Plant's voice hasn't been the same since his surgery.....
it's a shame, but that's life....
but as i said, I'd still go see it if it happens.....3 of the 4 isn't too bad.....

No, just because there's no reason to. Let's face it even in Bonzo was still alive they couldn't do justice to their glory days.

After seeing Jimmy Page & the Black Crowes live, I don't NEED to see any more live "Zep." That shit was monumental. I've never remembered anything so vividly while being so thoroughly fucked up.
I'm wary of another tour for the simple reason that I'd pay pretty much anything to get a ticket. It could get ugly.

NO!!!
Led Zeppelin died with John Bonham.

I wouldn't mind seeing Jones, Page, and Plant do something together, but I don't think they'd call it Led Zeppelin.
On Plant's voice....even though it ain't what it used to be, it is still better than a lot of so-called singers out there. :D

Um...why is the word REFORM always used?
If Van Halen reconvened...it would be a reformation because of the abysmal incarnations in between.
Led Zeppelin stopped because Bonham died...
it wouldn't be reforming...
it would be reconvening.
And why the fuck not.
It would be better than anything out there today.
And to those that are saying that VH SHOULD go on without Michael Anthony...and LZ SHOULDN'T go on without Bonham...
lmfao...
spare me...

In a word-No.
No. Especially not with Grohl!
They could get together with Jason, under a different name just jamming, playing a tribute. But NOT as Led Zepplin.

PAGE & PLANT kicked ASS on both tours in the 90's.....
Good enough for me:cool:

From what I've read and watched, JPJ doesn't talk to them anymore.
Plant and Page have left him out of their projects the last number of years.
It won't happen.

Just keep releasing new material under the name "Plant/Page" or whatever "Walking in Clarksdale" is under.

Perfect solution!
Get Jason Bonham on drums, and hell, if John Jones won't commit, get that Wolfgang Van Halen on bass. I hear he's been playing for three months and is really good, so that's all that matters.
:rolleyes:

Hell, I guess if The Who can do it with only two original members left then Zep could do the same. I wouldn't care to see it happen and I feel the same about The Who. At this stage I think they should just leave well enough alone. If they want to do it though, more power to 'em. A lot of people will still pay to see it.
