John-Paul Jones "hoping to play Glastonbury"

[sammysundae]

Basically, i went to a Them Crooked Vultures gig in Blackpool last night and before the gig, when JPJ walked from his tour bus to the venue he came over and said hello to me and a few other people. We asked him all the usual fanboy stuff. he said he's still in regular contact with Plant and Page. didn't mention (but i think its ok to assume) jason bonham. But then i said "any chance of Led Zeppelin at Glastonbury next year?"

to which he responded "well, we're really hoping to organise something like that, but i don't know yet. don't quote me on that one."

so obviously the first thing i'm doing is quoting him on that one. make of it what you will. but as far as i'm concerned, straight from the horses mouth, that gives a pretty decent chance and i'm going to start getting excited right now.

Anyone else spoken to him? i guess this tour is the first real chance members of the public have had the chance to talk to led zep members in a while cos josh homme and dave grohl are both pretty chatty.

Thoughts?

Would make my year if true

Although bitter experience has taught me not to get over excited by the rumour-mill and wait until I see the ink on the posters...

It wasn't a no chance. Would be great if they go together for Glasto. U2, Led Zep and Muse as headliners, that would be something

[Okky]

wow

Wash yer mouth out ye of no taste

[Wooderson]

If Zepp end up playing it they better quadruple the security around that fence lads. Im f**king serious.

I still think it'll be a 'super group' involving members of various big name acts.

Anyone who comes on this thread and starts on about "Nothing without Bonzo" is a moron. Okay. We KNOW already. Bonzo was great.

The three remaining members of the band and his kid will do me just fine and dandy thanks. People will fly in from all 4 corners of the globe to bunk over the fence btw.

As a side issue, I was gutted to hear that the lead singer of Lez Zeppelin left their band too. I'd have given her something to hang her towels on. Australian bird. Awful singer. But yowzer. You wouldve.

[5co77ie]

How good were TCV by the way? It was one of the best gigs I've ever seen on the opening night of the tour in Plymouth? By now they must be amazing!

[Wooderson]

Which is why they probably won't announce them even if they were playing. Them Crooked Vultures surprise appearance at Reading meant a ramp up in crowd control measures.

[Langdale Wolf]

With all due respect to Homme and Co. they arent a patch on the 3rd gig by The Zepp since Bonzo passed. That fence will resemble Helms Deep by the time theyd hit the stage Scott.

Doubt the whole "Super" group thing though mate. It'll be some kinda band to headline it.

[Wooderson]

I think this also, involving Grohl and Brian May

[5co77ie]

And Liza.

[Wooderson]

Tarbuck?

[rexclark]

I see she's selecting the dream line-up!

[Wooderson]

And feeling a tad chilly by the looks of things.

[rexclark]

Its the promise of the illicit scent of Brian May's hair mousse.
