No Zeppelin Tour - Not Yet Anyway

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Quick update for you. Jimmy Page held a press conference in Japan today to promote Led Zeppelin’s “Mothership” album. Here is what Reuter’s Dan Sloan is reporting that Page stated regarding a Zep tour:

“I can assure you the amount of work that we put into the O2 (concert), for ourselves rehearsing and the staging of it, was probably what you put into a world tour,” Page said. But, “Robert Plant also had a parallel project running and he’s really busy with that project, certainly until September, so I can’t give you any news.”

 So there you go. It might be a red herring, but I kind of doubt it.

So What’s The Deal With ACDC?

For weeks we’ve been hearing a whole lotta talk about ACDC. A potential new album, supposedly titled “Strap It On”, produced by the guy who pushed the buttons on “Back In Black”, Mutt Lange. There’s been talk of a European club tour as well. As it stands, none of these things have been confirmed. In fact, the bands management have denied everything. Here’s one thing that is for sure - the group’s website ACDCrocks.com has been more active, with video footage from the DVD “Plug Me In” which you could win in the JACK Nation. It also denies the previously mentioned club gig.

So what does all this mean? Will we or won’t we hear anything from ACDC in 2008? Me, I’m guessing the band are playing coy and that we should see some band activity sometime in 2008. I’d love to see the guys in concert again. They really did steal the show at SARSstock back in 2003.

How about you? Are you eagerly anticipating the arrival of anything from ACDC? Let me know.
