Hell Yeah, I'm there!!!!!!!
No, even with John's son Jason, a great drummer himself, it still wouldn't really be Zeppelin.
You can only vote on one answer.
Typically when bands break up for any number of reasons, from band infighting, drugs and lack of good music and material and also death, to put out are among the many, but I want to talk about when Led Zeppelin disbanded after the untimely death of the Greatest rock and roll drummer of all time, Jonh Henry Bonham, yes he loved to part to excess, collect a vast array of vintage cars, and he didn't even have a drivers lisence, but a simple man off the road with a huge farm in England. But the focus here is on their singer Robert "Percy" Plant,
you can read about his and the bands wild antics on the road in most any Zeppelin book published, fact or pure fiction, it made for fun and interesting reading, Robert had a tough time deciding on whether to keep singing at all or and if he chose to, would it be something that resembled Led Zeppelins music, you obviously can't replace the voice, especially his, but he did change the style, on Pictures at Eleven, his first solo album after Led Zeppelins end, he stayed true to himself voice wise and the music had good groove and rocked, but not at the fierceness of Led Zeppelins, he refused to perform any Zeppelin songs live in concert for many years, instead, waiting until he had 2 studio albums so he could have enough material to put on a great concert, and damn good material at that, then gradually he would work Led Zeppelin songs into his set, the first time I had heard him perform a Zeppelin song live in concert was when he toured off Now and Zen, he played Nobody's Fault but Mine off Zeppelins Presence album, I saw this concert in 1988, a highlight of my life, and I got to see Zeppelin in 1977 on their what would be their last United States tour, I saw them in New Haven Connecticut, as usual, the band was great that night, nearly blowing the roof off the coluseum and kept my ears ringing for the next 3 days.......heheheheeheehe, I was so fortunate to see my favorite band and all the following work that followed post Zeppelin with Prbert Plant, The Firm with Jimmyt Page and Paul Rogers from Bad Company, then Plant and Page, who played tons of old Zeppeling war horse including Rock and Roll, Whole Lotta Love, Trampled Underfoot, Since I've Been Loving You and so much more, I wish they would reform as they did with Johns son Jason on drums as has to be rumored to happen over the past 2 years on and off, I' pay anything to see them, even if I had to take out a second mortgage on my house just to pay for tickets, it would be a dream come true.
