I think the original idea, if indeed it is an idea and not just a rumour, is that it's as a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun who signed them to Atlantic? But the possibilities of something like this turning into a corporate wankfest attended by z list celebs proclaiming to be big Zep fans ("didnt they do Smoke on the Water? I love it!") are strong. Saw them in 75, twice, so there.

They've always been a "wankfest" in my opinion, so I don't think too much will change in that regard with the reformation, except posssibly being a little more "corporate". They also set new levels in rock history in the '70's for treating their fans like twats from what I've read.

It'll never happen. Plant is doing fine w/ his SS band, and is working on a solo venture w/ Allison Krauss These rumors pop up every month or so just to give newbie Zep fans a big hard-on. It'll never happen.

Yes, true, but like a certain proportion of Zep fans, despite the obvious and over-bearing pompus wankery, it's hard not to fall in love with the first five (alright, six) albums. I'd love to hate them, really I would, but I can't bring myself to. When Page was at his most pissed-up-twin-neck-SG-occult-silk-flare-wearing-stupidity it's almost rock perfection at its most ridiculous. Seeing the all-girl cover band Lez Zeppelin last month made me a bit giddy with glee. If it does happen will it be Phil Collins on drums for a re-enactment of the 'classic' Live Aid performance? :-)

Sabbath without Ozzy should be called Bleak Sabbath.
