Jimmy Page hints at more shows again

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has dropped another hint that the legendary rockers are to tour following their acclaimed O2 gig last December.

Speaking at a recent award show, Page told the Daily Star: "I hope fans can vote for Led Zeppelin live awards in the future."

However, he also suggested that vocalist Robert Plant may not be too keen.

"You've got to have all four members and Robert Plant is out on the road [right now]," he said. "I'm not gonna persuade Robert to do anything. You come together through the goodness of your heart."

No, Jimmy. You're not going to persuade Robert to do anything. You're just going to mention that he's the reason the tour might not happen every goddamn day in the press so the fans know it would happen if not for Percy. You're doing this through the goodness of your heart, of course.

Why can't they just leave us with the memories of the great shows they did in the seventies? The explosion of reunions is testament to the fact that modern music is not on par with the greats of yesteryear. I think the reason why Led Zeppelin are not performing now, goes back to the fact that their is animosity between Plant and Page. It used to be Plant badgering page to tour, and to get back together, but page for so long didn't want the name of led zeppelin mentioned. I should know know because he used to live near me in Hampshire. He would simply leave the room if you tried to talk about led zeppelin to him. He did however make a cameo in a local pub once, which was preety special.
