HEARTit is Anne wilson says she offered to audition to become the singer for a new project starring LED ZEPPELIN members.
In 2008, Jimmy Page et John Paul Jones were looking for a way to continue working after LED ZEPPELINthe incredible one-off performance of at the O2 Arena in London in December 2007.
Although there have been rumors that huge amounts of money will be offered to the group for a full tour, the singer Robert Plante chose to pursue his solo career instead.
Page did not disclose the full list of singers who have jammed with him, Jones and drummer Jason bonhambut ALTER BRIDGE leader Myles Kennedy publicly admitted to rehearsing with the band, as did AEROSMITHit is Steven Tyler.
Now, in a new interview with Liz Barneshost of Planet Rock “My planet is rocking”, Anne revealed that she "threw [her] hat in the ring" when she heard Page et Jones were looking for a new singer almost 15 years ago. She made the comment while chatting "The Forever Battle"the only LED ZEPPELIN track to introduce a guest vocalist.
"Yeah, it's such a boys club" Anne noted. " ZEPPELIN has always been a boys club. I know because there was a minute they were rumored to be auditioning singers and I just threw my hat in the ring. I went, 'I'm here!' and it was crickets,” she added, using the term which means absolute silence or no communication.
When Liz commented that LED ZEPPELIN should have at least said "Come in, Anne, and let's do some numbers,” Ann replied, “Who knows what happened there? But anyway, who would want to hire someone who could sing like Plant? I don't think that's what they wanted, you know? I don't think they want it to be a caricature of LED ZEPPELIN."
In December 2012, Anne and her sister, HEART guitarist Nancy wilsondelivered a moving rendition of " Stairway to Heaven ", LED ZEPPELINthe flagship song of Kennedy Center Honors. They were joined by Jason bonhamson of the original drummer John and the drummer for LED ZEPPELINreunion show from 2007. Their version of the track gradually grew to include a string section, a horde of backing vocalists, and the Joyce Garrett Youth Choir. Page, Plant et Jones sat watching from the balcony and were visibly moved, especially Plantwho had tears in his eyes.
Despite the fact that both Tyler et Kennedy had made public the time they had spent working with the PTA members, it seems that the majority of the work was done before any vocalist came on stage. In 2017, Page explained to classic rock"Certainly for Jasonmyself and John Paul Jones; robert had his Alison krauss project to promote. It seemed like the right thing to do and start playing new material. I thought we should really play to our strengths here, which was the music. But there's been a lot of movement to bring in singers and do this, that, and the other. And that would have changed the character too soon compared to what we were doing. I won't say there was pressure, but there were a lot of hints about this singer and singer. For me it was more about, let's see what we can really do. And I don't think we had the chance to do that. Of course we would have played LED ZEPPELIN hardware, but you want to play some really, really good new music first. »
Jones added that once it was clear that Plant wasn't going to join the exploratory rehearsals featuring the new material, he was never going to be just a LED ZEPPELIN project with a new lead singer. "Not at all," he said. “It's a total misunderstanding. I said, 'Of course, if we go out (on the road), we're going to have to do some ZEPPELIN Numbers.' And there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, we repeated 'Carrousellambra' (from 'Through the outer door'), which we've never done live before, and we've had a bunch of new stuff done. Corn Jimmy and I couldn't agree on the singers. . . I liked Myles Kennedy. He has the range, but his voice is completely different from that robert's. Which was fine with me, because it was going to be a completely different band. But it didn't work and we all moved on. »
