Led Zeppelin , one night only

This sucks.

Led Zeppelin are set to announce their reunion gig this week.

A press conference has been called for 4pm BST on Wednesday, September 12 in London.

NME.COM will bring you full, live coverage from the announcement so make sure you come back tomorrow.

As we revealed last week, singer Robert Plant confirmed that the rumours about Led Zeppelin reforming were in fact true.

He explained that the band had a meeting about show last week (September 5) and said the reunion will be for one night only.

“There’s not a lot to work out as it’s only going to be one-off gig,” he explained.

First of all let me say that to this day, Led Zeppelin are my all-time favorite band.  First record I every paid for was Zep.  I could not love a band’s body of work more.  That having been said, what the fuck are they thinking?  Plant lost his high end years ago.  The man simply cannot sing the songs properly anymore.  No way can Jimmy keep up his intensity.  Not too worried about Jones, but - and this is the big issue - John Bonham is dead.  His son Jason is a pathetic, pale imitation who has been living off his dad’s name forever, so I dearly hope he’s not the fill-in.  No one, and I mean no one, played like John Bonham.  There was a passion and a heaviness to his playing, a raw power coupled with amazing skill, that no one has ever duplicated, and likely never will.

This is a bad idea from start to finish.  I wish it wasn’t happening.

Ahh crap.

Bonham’s son Jason will wield the drum sticks for Led Zeppelin, joining its founding members: singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones.

Now it sucks more.
