You just knew they would get back together for something sooner or later with all those rumors out there floating around for the last few years. Besides, they just wanted to steal Van Halen's thunder.

Led Zeppelin reunion: demand for tickets crashes site

Show to have 'largest demand in history' says promoter


Demand for Led Zeppelin's one-off reunion gig has crashed the gig's official website.

Led Zeppelin are set to play the 02 Arena in London on November 26.

The show is a tribute event for Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

The ballot to get one of the 18,000 tickets, priced at £125 each, opened at 4pm but Ahmettribute.com crashed within minutes.

Promoter Harvey Goldsmith, who is putting on the event, said there was demand from as far afield as Japan, Australia and the United States. He predicted that the gig would cause the "largest demand for one show in history".

The £125 tickets are limited to two per person and will be distributed by ballot only.

Those wishing to go to the show must register on Ahmettribute.com to be in the ballot.

Registration closes on Monday (September 17), while any tickets that appear on online auction sites afterwards will be immediately cancelled.

Wo died from that band?

Wo died from that band?

The drummer John Bonham and about half of their fans who saw them in the 60s.

[bigboydan]

Bonham was the guy who died coach. His son will be taking his place on this one though.

Who did Jimmy Hendrix play for?

Who did Jimmy Hendrix play for?

Hendrix played for many guys. He played guitar for Little Richard and many others. He had his own group which was called the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Only put out 3 or 4 albums but many have been released posthmously.

Danny they were no Queen

Freddy Mercury puts these guys to shame.

[exstatman]

Mostly agree, but I saw Heart last week, and Ann Wilson still blows you away. She did covers of a few Zep songs, and the people around us said "Robert who?". Ann is 57, but you'd never know it from her voice.

[betplom]

Next thing you know The Eagles will be getting back together and gouging fans with ridiculous ticket prices. What? Hell HAS frozen over?

Nevermind.

[Willie Bee]

CAN SOMEONE PUT ALL THESE F*CKERS OUT OF THEIR MOTHER F*CKING MISERY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! ROCK N ROLL IS A YOUNG MAN GAME NOT FOR 60-69 Y.O. OLD F*CK UPS TO STILL BE DOING.F*cking Kieth RichardS,Jagger,Robert Plant,Roger Daltrey ,butt boy Townsend,ect.ect. and all that late-6o's rock roll assh*le scene all looks like a bunch old transvestites especially Richards,ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

[bigboydan]

Danny they were no Queen

Freddy Mercury puts these guys to shame.

I thought you said the Bay City Rollers even put Queen to shame though coach. I remember you saying you were the president of there fan club there in Newark.

[Willie Bee]

NOT FOR THAT SH*T Willie Baby!! :I'M 37, I DIDN'T GROW UP ON GERITOL ROCK N ROLL!
you can put me me down for some:CRUE,L.A. Guns,Magadeth,Testament,Type-o neg.,SLASH'S VELVET REVOLVER,Tesla,Cinderella,dokken,quiet riot or for the original line-up of RATT (BUT THE LEAD GUITAR IS DEAD) ECT.but don't bother me with any of that late-60's Garbage,i just can't stomach it!!

Spec One-Three, peace man. If you don't want to see them, that's cool, means there'll be more room for old fans like me who have gotten wider over the years

But young man, let me go on and tell you. I did grow up on on that "60s garbage," as you so charitably put it, and there's a lot of goooooood stuff that I bet you haven't heard just like there's a lot of good stuff from your list -- I actually own Guns & Roses and Motley Crue CDs -- that I haven't heard. But let me tell you this, back then it was a lot of weed and a whole lot of whiskey for me. Nowadays, I just take second hand, drink a beer or four, take some Geritol and pop two of those Vee pills (wink-wink, say no more). It's an incredible high, but I seem to be losing my hearing and experiencing more hair growth inside my ears than above them. Go figure. Could be the beer.

[HAPPY BOY]

[Willie Bee]

You two guys having trouble with your keyboards or something I said my hearing wasn't what it used to be, but didn't mean y'all have to yell.

[payupsucker]

When Jimmy Page dies and goes to heaven he will teach god how to play guitar.

You can actually understand the lyrics to Ann Wilson's version of the Immigrant Song. I still like the original though.
