Most of the old bands/singers are still trying to do their thing, but end up sounding like a poor tribute act.
Didn't his son play for Inter Cardiff?
Yup, he studied at Cardiff Met, or Uwic, whatever it was called. Think his name was Raith. His father would watch him regularly.Quote:

I never really liked Led Zeppelin. I think it was Plant's voice.Quote:

Nobody does that
I'm sure plenty of old rockers restarted their careers after seeing tribute acts grow in popularity.
To see others pretending to be them, playing their tunes, and earning a decent living, made them realise they could still make a living from performing. Easier access to music probably also helps maintain fans interest.
i saw a stone roses tribute act once, million times better than the real thing :frown:Quote:

Kiss I saw in 1997 , again thought that was it .....just finishing off their farewell tour now ff sake
I don't really concur in RP's case. If he was still only screeching out "Whole Lotta Love" and "Black Dog" etc. well into his 70s I would agree, but at least he's attempted to evolve. I quite like some of his stuff with Alison Krauss - you just have to forget he's Robert Plant.
That's what I thought. What he is doing now is nothing like Led Zep. I haven't heard the new album with Alison Krauss, but the first one was very good.Quote:
