From what I heard today, it looks like he's now turned it down!
Did anyone else heatr that the 3 J's were practicing with an american singer? I hope it's Chris Robinson

I had read that story. I wonder who the singer is - maybe someone Jason has worked with before like Mike Matijevic from Steelheart, he'd be good.
Not Jeff scott Soto I hope....
-
Matjivec isn't quite so spot on any more.
It would be a hard choice though, someone similar to Plant, or a whole different direction
-
Maybe they could go back to the start and get Terry Reid. He doesn't quite look the part nowadays though.
-
taylor hawkins from the foos... anyone hear him sing with them at the london gig?? its on the dvd.. and the foos are taking a long break now.
-
Never heard Taylor Hawkins sing, bet he's good! But Taylor fronting Zep? That would be surreal! :o I'd still pay to see that though.
-
Taylor Hawkins the drummer?
-
If this does go ahead they really should use a different name.
It was fair enough with Jason standing in for his dad for the tribute concert, but they can't go off and do a full tour with another singer and call it Led Zeppelin.
-
Aye Taylor Hawkins of Alanis Morrissette / Foo Fighters fame, tubthumper extraordinaire! :D
-
Gotta be Jack Russell from Great White
His Plant impression is scarily close

great white did a whole album of Zeppelin covers called Great Zeppelin. that's what i call wearing your influences on your sleeve!
how about Lenny Wolf of Kingdom Come? he does a pretty good Plant too.
i could have done it myself a couple of years ago but i've buggered my voice :( er, quite apart from the fact no one's ever heard of me and they wouldn't ask me anyway...
-
oops then :O)
well I would prefer if they'd go with someone utterly different but compatible, for example Chris Cornell, he could do alternative versions of their songs. Or the guy from Black Crowes did quite well.
A Plante rip off that would just be silly ...
-
Chris Cornell would be bloody great. Of course he'd fall out with them pretty damn quickly, but that's OK, I don't want this reunion to drag on forever and turn into a "self-tribute" act.
-
I was thinking Cornell too.

if only cornell was half of what he was... cornell + timberland = PDT_032
and the things he seems to get involved in now... where has his integrity gone??
-
I'm probably the only person who didn't already know this but...
On BBC Breakfast this morning, Neil McCormick from the Daily Telegraph said he believes the "new singer" is Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge.
I'm not the biggest fan of Alter Bridge or his previous band The Mayfield Four, but he has an amazing voice. Could be great... but they still shouldn't call it Led Zeppelin.
-
I do like Alter Bridge, and agree that Myles Kennedy has a good voice, but can't imagine how it would work with Led Zep. Would be interesting though!
-
Kennedy has an awesome voice - saw Alter Bridge live 2 years ago in a tiny room at Cardiff student union, and the whole thing blew me away. I'm not sure I'd like to see him singing with Zep though - I don't think he should risk putting a successful, dynamic band like Alter Bridge on hold to front a half-baked, cash-cow reunion tour.
I'm gonna get my ass kicked for this, I can just feel it... :wink:

I for one agree with you.
