Presence came out 40 years ago; here is an interesting article.
[www.businessinsider.com]
After Physical Graffiti, this is my favorite Zep album.
And Achilles Last Stand is on my top 5 list of greatest Zep tunes - and top 20 (or 30) of greatest rock tunes of all time.
It gallops along relentlessly like the four horsemen of the apocalypse during a stampede.
Page has said in the past that his favorite guitar solo ever (that he played) is on this tune.
I was making a GENERAL thread for all current and former Zep member news...I know Bjornulf hates clutter.Quote

Lol so its really just Robert Plant news and not Plant/Page/Jones or general Zep news. But thats cool that he's still putting out music. But obviously people see the thread and assume this unrealistic fantasy for Zeppelin is finally getting closer.
Hmm. I did a search for "Zeppelin" and this thread didn't show up.Quote

Here's the original thread:
Led Zeppelin
But maybe this new thread should be solely about Robert Plant as he continually attempts to distance himself from Led Zeppelin and all that the band (and Jimmy Page) provided for him.
Without Zeppelin, don't think anyone would know or care who Robert Plant is.

First thing I thought as well! Cool little track. It also obviously has similarities to Gallows Pole.Quote

Sounds like it has a Factory Girl vibe to it!?
Ah! Forgot to change the search range. Thanks.Quote

I think "Led Zeppelin" combined with "plagiarism" might have been key words for the search.
Also, when you do a search, at the bottom there are options for the time span - last 30 days, 90 days, last year, and finally all dates.
It's almost like he's paralyzed by his past...he's having a hard time deciding on what to do artistically aside from being the primary curator of Zeppelin's considerable legacy.Quote

Speaking of news for other LZ band members, what ever happened to that 2016 tour Jimmy Page was planning? He was telling Guitar World that he was getting fit, putting together a new live band, and had plans to tour in 2016. He must not have revealed these plans to promoters...

...lately he's been saying that he hopes to hit the road in 2017...

Wow, very honest words from Coverdale. His assessment seems very accurate.
I feel so fortunate that I got to see Page and the Black Crowes back in '99. That was a great pairing, and Joe Perry came out onstage as a surprise for You Shook Me, which was completely mind-blowing.

Fans would have accepted it if the Stones had broken up in 1969 after Brian died. But that's never been the case -- if one member dies, replace him. Either you're a band or a brand. In 1969, Mick and the boys chose.Quote

Maybe because fans have accepted there will be no LED ZEPPELIN in the future, they're more willing to accept a solo RP whereas MJ was never given that latitude.
I don't think anyone is claiming Plant is the one weighed down by the legacy of Zep. He's completely well-adjusted and his solo career proves that he's happy doing his own thing.Quote

I thunk Plant has done really well. IMO he hasn't really acted 'weighed down by the history of LZ" at all. He has never denied it either; did a couple appropriate reunions, but other than that he has been doing what a good musician does: he has continued to make music, write tunes, record albums, played shows. He has not stayed stagnant; tried to explore new ground etc.
Im sure some people don't like the type of stuff he cuts; and others wish he would remain that shrieking Led Zep Rockgod, but the one thing you can't deny him, is that he has stayed on a righteous path. I happen to like those last 4-5 albums of his.
