Monday’s Hors D’Oeuvres: More LZ Rumors

Just the other day I was thinking about how there hasn’t been any Led Zeppelin rumors flying recently. Well, before I could put my thoughts to paper another report of a Led Zeppelin reunion tour surfaced. The Sunday Mirror claims that a tour is now inevitable and could take place as early as the end of this year.

Meanwhile, the latest “friend” of the band to claim stake to the opening duties is Whitesnake’s David Coverdale who told the Mirror that a LZ tour is “very likely,” and that he’s anticipating a call from Jimmy Page asking Whitesnake to open. So that makes Velvet Revolver, the Foo Fighters, and The Cult among the bands claiming to be opening for Zeppelin. Does a LZ gig really need an opening act?

Here’s a recap of shit that went down this weekend:

  • The Zappa Trust take a break from lawsuits to put out Wazoo
  • Partyin’ Peeps compiles the best videos from The Jammys
  • Foo Fighter/Fanboy Dave Grohl writes Metallica a letter
  • Vivid Entertainment, the purveyors of the Jimi Hendrix sex tape offer 100k for proof the tape isn’t real
  • The New York Times previews the summer festival season
  • Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi: the newest species of spiders
  • Nedstalgia looks back at three Phish shows from 1993

We recently came across an interesting blog called Brand Upon The Brain, which reveals the stories behind rock’s most iconic logos. You gotta love this post on the history of Megadeth’s Vic Rattlehead. [via LHB]
