Well, it seems that "Venom Thrust" just "confirmed" that there's no 2007 tour

Its all here, you just have to dig a bit..

In Brief:

On Reunion and Tour

- Wolfie was instrumental in getting the guys back together,
showing real talent at the jam, indicating with his Ipod where
Dad was getting it wrong.
Instant connection with Ed and Al, "It was a language they
had created, and was instantly familiar with again"

- Was pissed off at the fact that he wanted to perform JUMP
(Van Halen's biggest ever hit) at HOF and Velvet Guns & Roses
wouldnt agree to perform it... Dave didnt want to perform it
with the Paul Chafe-you band...

Im sure others can add to this..
There was whole interviews, where ya been Cabo Man ??

Touring next year would NOT be a good idea.

Led Zeppelin is rumoured to be rehearsing for a reunion tour next summer with Jon Bonham on drums in honor of his father.

Not even the Classic Van Halen line-up should go out at the same time as Led Zeppelin.

You all are the authorities on things VH and I am the authority on all things Zep. That said, sorry kids, there is no such tour or rehearsals for any Zeppelin reunion. Just the normal yearly rumors.

And yes, Bonham's son is Jason..............but you'd never know it by his playing.

[Bonzo1026]

I apologize for putting this in main but the initial subject was raised in here. Below is what Plant's up to. I'm not seeing any time for rehearsals for any upcoming reunion tours. Maybe if he wasn't in his 60's he'd have the energy to do two things at once. The rumors started because 2008 will supposedly be 40 years since Zep formed. BUT, they formed in 1968 as the New Yardbirds and weren't Led Zeppelin until 1969 so technically 2009 will be 40 years. Save the rumors until then....................

Zeppelin is "rumoured" to tour just about every year, but it hasn't happened yet.

They actually did come close in 2003. Ironically enough, they were talking to the David Lee Roth Band about opening. But things fell apart. And they didn't even use Page being in rehab as an excuse.

The fact that Page & Plant haven't worked together at all in years isn't a good sign either. Zeppelin may have broke up in 1980, but those two never went more than 3 years without working together in one form or another. But now, Plant is referring to Zeppelin as a "boy band" and hasn't been in the same room with Page in about a decade.

I doubt it's happening. And even if they're thinking about it, they should hold off for another year and call it the 40th anniversary.

On the other hand..... could you imagine a Led Zeppelin - Van HALEN double bill??

That would be about the ONLY circumstance where I would accept Van HALEN as an opening band, and they would have to play a full set.

Well, getting something out and doing a real tour with Mike in 2008 for the 30th ann. would be good. Great way to come back after the 2007 flubfest.

As far as Zep goes...couldn't care less...their day is LOOOONG over...a tour with Jason might have worked in, oh, 95 maybe...but Page and Plant are FAR too long in the tooth to make that shit work anymore, my opinion...

[binnie]

Zep reunion? No chance.....

Just to nitpick a bit, it has been not quite a decade....about 9 years. They toured in 1998...

[evhfan5150]

To be honest I dont know if cvh will ever tour again. I dont think that ed is ready and I think that they are starting to get to old. I really hope it does work though.

Which gives them plenty of time to get something out of either the studio or the vaults on the charts by Spring 2008, and do this shit right next year!

Really, it's crazy for them to do this without some solid product to sell.

They could make so much god-damn money with a live DVD for x-mas sales and then a summer tour.

I KNOW people have said this to them. It ain't rocket science.

Just remaster the fuckin' US Fest and put that out! Geeze.

I've heard that Eddie HATES the US Fest show, because of the band's drunken performance. I'm guessing "Sober Eddie" hates it even more.

Unfortunately, the record company types would probably brand it as "not suitable for official release" for this very reason.

Of course what the corporatist bean counters will never understand, and the fans DO, is that a performance doesn't have to be technically proficient in order to be FUCKING GREAT!!

And the US Festival was a FUCKING GREAT show. But I fear that the "OLD No. 7" remaster by our own Dave's PA Rental is probably the best version of that concert that we're ever going to see.
