Robert Plant giving up hundreds of millions of dollars with Led Zeppelin tour to play with folk music band?
Can anyone make sense of this? It looks like Mr Plant is willing to delay millions of dollars for his pocket to play in some jazz or folk band. Does not makes sense? Even Led Zep guitarist Jimmy Page said:
"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…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."
Would you do this? I wouldn’t delay it. I would even pay of f Robert Plant’s other project a nice hundred grand to buy them off. Money speaks louder than anything else as we all know.
ATT Eddie: You should be called Van Halen 2 while on tour not Van Halen

ATT Eddie: You should be called Van Halen 2 while on tour not Van Halen
Let’s face it. It ain’ t the same. We have seen some lacklustre guitar solos. But now he is happy to play with his son. Nice but don’t butcher the name and legacy of Van Halen without Mr Anthony. It ain’t the same and you know it. I don’t care about your ego. You should bring back Valerie and the whole family can go out as family tour just like the Osmonds. You can then call yourself Van Halen 2 and still live out your dream of playing with Wolfgang. Screw David Lee Roth. He is a big boy. Bring back Valerie. You are three quarters there!!
See happy Eddie in the latest whatever magazine it was.

Pretty Boy Floyd is back on tour with Animal of the Muppets playing back up drums
Yes they are back with our favorite drummer of all time, ANIMAL in the Muppets!! Anyhow the band is expected to Club Vodka March 1 as a very slow set. They are still a little hung over from their last tour 17 years ago. They will slowly make their way into playing select music festivals. This could include the Rocklohoma with other pot bellied, pink spandex wearing long haired wankers in those reunited hair metal bands. Wohooo, More stuff to laugh at!!
Wath out Scott Weiland, Velvet Revolver could have a new singer as you missed the Sundance tour show

Wath out Scott Weiland, Velvet Revolver could have a new singer as you missed the Sundance tour show
This was sent over to Blabbermouth by Matthew Moon. He was the one who filled in a for Scott Weiland at Sundance while he was enjoying the sun in Florida
"[A few days ago] I was performing at a Sundance Film Festival event in Salt Lake City, UT. After my performance at Rose Wagner Theater, I began driving the 25 minutes it takes to get back up to Park City. I checked my voicemail and there was a frantic message from my friend Jenna Lynn. ‘Mattie Moon, it’s Jenna,’ she said. ‘Call me back, it’s urgent, urgent, urgent, URGENT — about tonight,’ she continued, tension in her otherwise smooth voice. ‘Come play with VELVET REVOLVER, please come sing…we need somebody who can sing…call me…bye!’
"If you are not familiar, VELVET REVOLVER is a rock band comprised of rock n’ roll icons Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum from GUNS N’ ROSES, and Dave Kushner and Scott Weiland from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS. I looked at my traveling companion, Scott Kusmirek (current drummer for the GIN BLOSSOMS), and said, ‘Dude…I think they want me to sing with VELVET REVOLVER tonight!’ My stomach began to turn. Five minutes later I received a text from my friend Daniel Maltzman that said, ‘Wanna play vocals for VELVET tonight?’ I looked at Scott and we both started laughing hysterically. ‘Hell yeah!’ I texted back. Apparently, VELVET frontman Scott Weiland had missed his flight from Los Angeles and would not be able to make the gig…
"We jetted up the mountain as fast as we could. While we were driving, I began downloading lyrics off the net from my Blackberry — I had never even heard a VELVET REVOLVER song before! When we arrived I was quickly escorted backstage to meet the band. I walked in, said hello, and took my guitar out — we began mapping out a game plan. Duff asked me if I knew any STONES’ covers and I told him I knew ‘Honkey Tonk Woman’. I started jotting the lyrics down on a piece of paper. Soon after, Donovan Leitch, son of legendary singer Donovan, arrived and began learning songs too. Then came Cisco Adler (from WHITESTARR and ex-boyfriend of Mischa Barton who was also at the festival…). He was accompanied by actress E.G. Daily, best known for her role in the cult classic movie ‘Valley Girl’. We ran through the song in an empty stairwell and then made our way to the stage. My song was up second from last, so I stood by and watched as Donovan and Cisco sang ‘Rock N’ Roll’ by LED ZEPPELIN.
"Right before their song was about to finish, I noticed Paris Hilton making her way to the front row — I actually thought about running! Could there be any more pressure than this? Then Paris jumped on the stage and made her way over to where we were standing. I took the microphone from Cisco’s hand as drummer Matt Sorum started the legendary cowbell count-off that signifies the beginning of one of the best ROLLING STONES’ songs ever. When the time came, I began to sing, ‘I met a gin soaked, barroom queen in Memphis…’ The whole crowd was singing along - everyone was grooving! Then Cisco and E.G. joined me on the harmonies — it was AWESOME! The band was so friendly and cool — there was certainly something very serendipitous about Sundance this year!"

NOTE TO SCOTT: Dude, don’t blame us, you should have been there with your band mates. Pretty simple math don’t you think? When is your DUI hearing again?
