[Suzanimal]

Damnnnn....I'm ashamed to admit what I would do for $800 million.

But this guy's not...

No amount of money

can get Robert Plant to reunite with his Led Zeppelin bandmates.

The 66-year-old singer walked away from a 35-date tour that would have paid the rock group nearly $800 million — ripping up the contract in front of stunned promoters, the Mirror newspaper reported Sunday.

British tycoon Sir Richard Branson had planned to reunite the Stairway to Heaven rockers and promoters had even gotten the green light from the other band members.

The mega deal would have paid Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones roughly $300 million apiece, before taxes, according to The Mirror.

Group members lobbied hard for Plant to join in but he wouldn’t change his mind.

“They have tried to talk him round but there is no chance,” a source close to the group told the Mirror. “His mind is made up and that’s that.”

Page said Plant would not .

[Todd]

No John Bonham.....No Led Zeppelin.

[CaptUSA]

Didn't they re-unite a few years ago for a concert? And in the 90's Page and Plant put out an album together without John Paul Jones.

It's not like there's any major heartburn - it's just about doing a full tour. Plant's not interested; he's got other things going on. I applaud him for doing his own thing in spite of them throwing huge dollar signs at him.

Really, all that glitters [is] gold.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Are the Beatles still getting back together?

[pessimist]

he's been dazed and confused for so long

[JK/SEA]

Page, Jason Bonham, John Paul Jones, and all they need is a comparable singer. $#@! Plant....

[brushfire]

Are the Beatles still getting back together?

Some may disagree with me, but there's a good chance that the Beatles will not.

[pessimist]

He could have bought a stairway to heaven with that kind of money.

[CaptUSA]

Page, Jason Bonham, John Paul Jones, and all they need is a comparable singer. $#@! Plant....

They already did that, too.

[pessimist]

This thread is tailor made for using Led Zeppelin lyrics.

guess I was the only one who noticed

[CPUd]

They could get Lzzy Hale:

[JK/SEA]

Lots of 'younger' rock singers out there.

Page IS Led Zeppelin...without him...no Led Zeppelin.

[Brian4Liberty]

No Peter Grant, no reunion tours.

That's a small price to pay for that kind of money.

Plant's publicist denies this story:

THATS IT! "Rod Stewart to be the front man of Led Zeppelin tour"




Robert Plant would be back, and I bet he'd work for free.


Nothing against my man Rod - different genera, that's all.

[Danke]

Damnnnn....I'm ashamed to admit what I would do for $800 million.

Can you break a 100 Trillion dollar bill?

[invisible]

Interesting. I always thought it was John Paul Jones who didn't want to participate in any cash-in reunion tours.

Anyways, if they do happen to try to pull it off with another vocalist, my nomination would be Woody Leffel from Granicus:

OK, you can keep the change then.

[Zippyjuan]

Plant doesn't seem to have aged as well as some of the others. Page looked quite regal at the Kennedy Center Honors a couple years back. Awsome version of "Stairway to Heaven" by Heart. They probably don't need the cash. (John Bonham's son on drums).

there is always LEZ ZEPPLIN

well, crap apparently can't embed youtube with time jump.

[phill4paul]

I don't think his voice would be up for a tour, truthfully. As far as money, I don't think he lacks it.

Hrmmm, looks like I got some saving to do.

Don't try to pass off any of Zimbabwe currency on me either.

How much do you charge to get you to admit what the $800 million theoretically buys?

I think I'd have to save up that part first

What I wouldn't do for $800 million:
*murder

Honestly, I can't think of anything else. I figure $800 million will buy me a lot of magic mushrooms and I'll be alright.
