I know some of you don't particularly like Eddie Trunk, but I was driving back to VA Beach from Pittsburgh on Monday night and happened to catch what turned out to be an absolutely fascinating interview with Jason Bonham. While I ignored the other stuff, they talked for about a straight hour about his time leading up to the Zeppelin show at the O2 Arena in London in Dec. 2007.
Then they talked a lot about how close the band came to a full-blown "reunion". Jimmy, John Paul and Jason were practicing and rehearsing for some time, but since Robert said he wasn't going to do it, they were going to have Myles Kennedy on vocals. From what Jason says when they asked him how close it got, he said "It got as close as you could get. It got real close. You know, we did a year of writing and putting stuff together. I loved working with Jimmy and John Paul. It was so much fun."
They then talked about the "Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience", which is going to be Jason and other band members that he won't name yet playing Zeppelin songs on tour. The tour dates won't be released until Aug. 16th (http://www.jblze.com/index.php?page=Home) but he said the 1st show is in Western Canada. There will be 30 shows to start, and if it's popular, he'd love to add more.....
Here's a recent interview he did talking about the project...
