BONHAM WARNS LED ZEP FANS NOT TO BE 'GREEDY'

Drummer JASON BONHAM is urging LED ZEPPELIN fans not to be "greedy" as the internet heats up with reunion tour stories. The veteran rockers have so far refused to confirm rumours of a 2008 world tour, following their triumphant live return at a benefit concert in London earlier this month (Dec07), and Bonham is tiring of all the speculation. Bonham, the son of Led Zeppelin's original drummer, John, who died in 1980, insists fans should be lucky the group reunited at all. He says, "I'm still the new guy and I wouldn't know (if they're planning a tour). Is it gonna be (happening) again? Don't be greedy... "If they do it again, of course I would love to (join them). But that's up to them. Only time will tell." And Bonham admits he is still trying to come to terms with the overwhelming experience of the 10 December concert: "It kinda feels surreal, like it never really happened in some way... (I was) amazed I pulled it off."

You are one noble man, something rare in these times. We're blessed to have someone strong enough to speak his mind candidly, in this case, regarding fans and the concert industry, and their greed. Accolades aside - oh wait, the upsoming ARE accolades! Up until somewhat recently, I had only had the opportunity to see you play via some Led Zep tapes, which left a lot to be desired. Serendipity stepped in when I inadvertently channelsurfed into an episodic documentary capturing the formation of a super group with a wildly versatile membership (Ted Nugent/Sebastian Bach???). Became entranced with that same drummer. You were struggling with a pinched nerve - it is beyond me how you could have continued, including taking time to tour with Foreigner in the midst of the chaos of certain 'supergroupers'. No matter how many anti-inflammatories or pain pills you may have been given to mask the pain, it is a severely vicious affliction. To see you step in, powerful and compelling, gave us much to apire to. Many thanks for many things, Victoria
