As we said last week amid all the speculation of a Led Zeppelin reunion – it ain’t over with Zep until someone releases an official statement.
And now someone has released an official statement: stand up Mr Robert Plant. Via his website, Plant has released an official statement saying that he’s not planning to tour for at least the next two years, and that he will certainly not be touring with Led Zeppelin.
The Led Zeppelin rumour mill has been in overdrive since way back in June 2007 – that’s when we first started talking about possible reunions.
As you all know, Robert, Jimmy and John reunited, with the rightful heir to the drum riser, Jason Bonham, and the band performed a one-off concert in London last autumn.
You can’t stop the rock reunions. Alice In Chains are the latest act to reform, despite the sticky issue of having a deceased lead singer.
It’s been 13 years since the band’s last album, and 6 since their legendary lead singer Layne Stayley died from a drugs overdose.
In this latest incarnation, Stayley has been replaced by singer-with-a-pulse William DuVall who’s been knocking around the rock and punk scene since the early 80’s.
This could be the dictionary definition of ‘awesome’, Leona Lewis joining Jimmy Page onstage at the Olympics for a barn-storming rendition of Whole Lotta Love.
It looks like Jimmy’s got tired of the short hair he’s been sporting for the last few years. Is it worth reminding you that we’re among the biggest Led Zeppelin fans on the planet, so just watching Jimmy strut his stuff onstage brings on an attack of the goosebumps!
In what Idolator described as an Aguilera-like performance, Leona Lewis did an awesome performance of the song. OK, it wasn’t quite Robert-Plant-squeezing-lemons quality, but it cements Lewis’s position as a class act. And doesn’t she look hot?
Maybe it’s time to start some rumours about Lewis taking Plant’s place for a reformation of Led Zeppelin? Perhaps we’ll get that world tour after all…
Although the best bit by far was Beckham launching a ball into the audience and knocking over some Chinese audience member!
Otherwise known as ‘the drummer and guitarist from Queen hooking up with the vocalist from Free’.
There’s good news and bad news with this new single from Queen (+ Paul Rodgers). The good news is that it’s got some heavy riff-laden brilliance attached to it.
Brian May’s guitar work shows that he’s still got the chops (not the lamb chops – the guitar ones), and Paul Rodgers brings a powerful, bluesy voice to proceedings. OK, he’s never going to throw on a canary yellow jacket and give us Freddie MK2.
Welcome back, friends, to the MySpace Tour and stop #2 – the Chris George Band. The first stop on our tour was LA’s Heart Of Cygnus, and we’ve selected Chris George from their list of friends to continue the tour.
Okay, any band that sports the name of one of its members usually has that person as the focus. Chris is the main man – lead guitarist and vocalist. He’s aided and abetted by drummer Farid Medjane and bassist Rob Butterfield.
You should know that Chris is some kind of guitar prodigy – he’s been playing since he was 7 years old, and was crowned Young Guitarist Of The Year in 1997 by Guitarist Magazine.
Steve McQueen is the latest single from The Automatic, and man is it on heavy rotation on the radio right now.
File this one under Anthems…
Because that’s what this is, a raucous rock anthem, with a banging, irrepressible chorus. If this is the lead single from their forthcoming album, then we’re in for a treat.
We here at Unreality Music don’t need much of an excuse to cast off our clothes. So, imagine our delight when the virtually unknown Ida Maria started getting airplay with this absolutely epic tune.
What with Katy Perry trying the bi-curious angles this summer, and this thumping rock anthem dedicated to getting yer kit off, we like to think that the charts are temporarily a much hornier place…
Surely this should be more controversial? Kid Rock ripping off Lynyrd Skynyrd and – worse still – singing completely different lyrics over that classic riff?
Maybe you’re a more progressive soul and believe that All Summer Long represents an opportunity to recycle a classic rock song and superimpose his own nostalgic words over the top?
The Verve are due to release Love Is Noise as the first single from their new album, Forth on 11 August 2008.
So, after 9 years apart, what should we expect from this band who once ruled the world with their Urban Hymns album?
Well, Love Is Noise turns those assumptions of a sequel to Urban Hymns on their head. The most shocking thing? It’s up-tempo.
