LED ZEPPELIN 'Celebration Day' Director Says Another Reunion Is Unlikely - Sep. 28, 2012
The director of LED ZEPPELIN's forthcoming concert film "Celebration Day" — which chronicles the band's 2007 one-off reunion concert —has shot down rumors that the band will reform.

According to Contact Music, filmmaker Dick Carruthers, who directed the movie, has said that talk of the band reuniting detracts from the project – and he also claimed that there hasn't been any discussion about any further reunion shows.

"I do think the whole will-they-won't-they go on tour thing preoccupies far too much of the media's attention. This really isn't about that," he said.

Asked if there had been any talk about another reunion since he filmed the 2007 show, he replied, "Let's put it this way, it hasn't happened in the last five years since the reunion show."

LED ZEPPELIN met with the press on Friday (September 21) in London to launch "Celebration Day". The band — Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones — was adamant about not addressing any reunion rumors — despite the fact that they were promoting a film of their last reunion. When asked if the band would be performing together again, Jimmy Page told a reporter: "Let me ask you a question. Have you seen the film? Did you enjoy it? Then we've done our job, haven't we?" When asked if ZEPPELIN would "do it again," Plant cracked: "With you?"

Page told the press that he was thrilled with Jason Bonham's performance filling in for his late father, John Bonham, saying, "Jason was absolutely monumental. From the very first rehearsal right through to the O2." Plant added: "It was appropriate and it was wonderful and also his vigor was so fantastic too. He drove us, y'know? It was peculiar and strange at times, but at the same time it was very rewarding for all of us."

Plant went on to talk about the band's relationship these days: "We don't see each other too often, but we've just spent about an hour together. . .and no sooner we start talking, than some little innuendo creeps in. It's just what happens when you've spent a lot of time together."

When asked why it took five years for the 2007 reunion concert to see the light of day, John Paul Jones joked: "Five years is like five minutes in ZEPPELIN time."

Jason Bonham told The Pulse Of Radio that following the ZEPPELIN reunion show, he was astounded by the accolades and support he received from fans. "It was just a little bit hard to comprehend," he said. "The next day, when the press was so unanimous of 'the greatest return that could ever be,' that's when it kind of got very emotional for me. That was hard, to suddenly. . . .'wow, I did it.' And watching the clips back on YouTube, I'm amazed I pulled it off."

Would be cool if Page , Plant , JPJ all jammed a song or two to celebrate the DVD release.

Shouldn't appreciating Zepp's monumental body of work as some of the greatest in rock and roll history be enough? Over thirty years after the break now, and people are still screaming for more! more! more! The reunion with Jason was fantastic, but I think it's safe to say that they won't do a full-scale reunion with anyone, ever. Bonzo's gone, and there is no Zepp without him. The bandmates understand this more than anyone, and have said it over and over.

It's time to put this kind of thing to bed. Instead of pining over yesterdays bands, no matter how great they were, it is high time that we get behind the next generation. There may be a lot of crap out there today, but there was crap in the 70's too. Baroness, Volbeat, A7X (I know I'll get crap for this one, but I believe that they have gone far beyond the whole Hot Topic/TRL thing) are all fantastic live, and putting out killer music and deserve to take that next step. Let's keep Zep, Sabbath,The Stones, Aerosmith, Kiss, Crue and GNR as part of history. I don't care to see these old bastards tour.

So the producer of this new DVD says that the band is unlikely to reunite...meaning that this DVD is the ONLY way to see Led Zep ever again? Hmmm, he wouldn't have any ulterior motive here, would he? Like, oh I don't know...selling more copies of this DVD?

I'm sure he's right, but still. Seems a bit opportunistic to me.

Unsurprising news... but seeing this band play live again one day, however brief or down-tuned, would send me to the grave a happy man.

Uh, no kidding. You don't have to be a director to say that.

And who is this guy above putting Crue in the same 'history' with Zep, Sabbath, The Stones and the rest?? In my opinion, Crue is just a bad gimmick that wouldn't go away. Anyhow, I'll gladly latch onto the 'new generation' of bands when some of them show as much innovation as those classic bands. A7X? Are you serious?? I'll take Deep Purple instead, thank you.

Motley Crue is the ultimate expression of the belief that "rock is dead". Anyone who thinks Motley Crue belongs in the same sentence as those bands for any reason ever needs to have their hearing aids fixed. Unless you think hair bands and cock rock are the greatest thing ever.
