Jeff Beck Says "NO!" to Half-Assed Led Zep Reunion
JEFF BECK Slams LED ZEPPELIN's Comeback Plans
Sat Dec 6, 2008 12:17 pm (PST)
According to Tiscali, rocker Jeff Beck has slammed LED ZEPPELIN's comeback plans — insisting it will be pointless without former lead singer Robert Plant.The 64-year-old legend — who played in cult act THE YARDBIRDS with LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page — praised the band's huge one-off concert at London's O2 Arena last December. But Beck argues plans for a full-blown tour should be shelved without Plant, who has repeatedly refused to join his old bandmates full-time.
He says, "I really don't think it's a good idea, not if Robert doesn't want to. I was there at the one-off show at the O2 Arena and it was fantastic. But I think they should just leave it there. They will have been offered loads of money and it'll be tempting but that's not a good enough reason to me. It would be different if they all wanted to do it and record new material but that's not the case."

Levi Stubbs Shuffles Off This Mortal Coil
It’s hard to imagine the voice of the Four Tops ever being stilled. It was so huge, so tough, so full of everything that make life worth living (love, hope, heartbreak, pain) that you’d figure somehow Levi Stubbs would live forever. Sadly, Stubbs passed away today at home in Detroit after a long illness but that voice, and the songs he sang, will never die. You know the hits. They are massive and timeless, glittering products of the Motown machine like “Reach Out (I’ll Be There)”, “Standing in the Shadows of Love”, “I Can’t Help Myself” and the awe-inspiring “Bernadette”. Songs that Stubbs destroyed with his gravel-throated howl and his raw, exposed soul. If you dig behind the songs you can hear daily on oldies stations around the globe though, you’ll find some pretty great songs that Stubbs (and the other three guys, Abdul “Duke” Fakir, Renaldo “Obie” Benson and Lawrence Payton, who all stuck together for an unheard of 43 years!) knocks out of the park as easily as tying his shoes. (By the way, that’s Stubbs on the left in a rare photo in which the Four Tops weren’t standing shoulder to shoulder.)
