Free enterprise is a great thing. I hope they make lots of money. Being Undead, they probably have significant expenses that the rest of us don’t.

I can’t remember how many times I listened to LZ’s first album—usually stoned.It was one of the first records I ever bought with my own money.
In my Hippie heyday they were our gods.They didn’t tour as much as bands like Grand Funk or Black Sabbath so to have attended one of their concerts was a badge of rock honor.
I’m a straight conservative now and regret my wasted ways of youth—but DANG I had a good time!

The Zappa version where he replaces Page with the horn section is better. Really it’s one of those songs that’s good for no apparent reason, the lyrics are stupid, the song starts painfully slow and drags, the guitar solo is overwrought, and yet somehow it’s one of the best songs ever.

I never cared much for Zep. The song Kashmir or Cashmere (unsure which) is a funeral dirge for the ages.

Here's my favorite version of Kashmire from a Jethro Tull concert a few years back... lucia micarelli Kashmir

Tull is still one of my all time faves. That was interesting.

Sure, they created some great music - over a generation ago - but would you ‘cut-around’ any one single surviving member of the group?

Me - I’d run from them. Which LZ member owns Aleister Crowley’s house in England - is it Jimmy Page?

LZ was not an ordinary group...

Of course. Differences of opinion are no more, no less.

We were driving to the library yesterday, and my 5-year-old told me that if I didn’t stop for doughnuts on the way home, he would sing Lynyrd Skynyrd. I almost gave in ... and his version of “Oooh, That Smell!” almost persuaded me to drive the van straight into a telephone pole. But we’re all still here today ...

I hope they decide to tour the U.S. I saw Page/Plant for the ‘Walking to Clarksdale’ tour a few years back, and it was great. John Paul is such a kick ass musician, and I’d love to see this lineup.
