Robert Plant, best known as the legendary lead singer of Led Zeppelin, made a rare and humorous appearance in the British comedy Doreen: The Movie (2016), a film based on the popular Midlands character Doreen Tipton. In this offbeat mockumentary-style comedy, Plant plays himself in a cameo role, showing his lighter side and poking fun at his rockstar persona. His brief but memorable appearance adds a quirky charm to the film, aligning with its satirical tone and Midlands pride. Though not widely known for acting, Plant’s inclusion in the film reflects his strong ties to the region and willingness to embrace its eccentric humor…..The Neil Young song Roger Waters wishes he wroteThe guitarist Keith Richards always wanted to be: “The epitome of a hero”The John Lennon track Paul McCartney wanted to make a Beatles “reunion song”Why John Paul Jones Called The Quiet Architect of Rock Music History ?

“What are we doing?”: The album that divided Led Zeppelin ?

No rock band can claim to see eye-to-eye on everything. Even though they seem like a band of brothers every time they take the stage, there are always those few minutes where you want to wring each other’s throats because one person dared to have their instrument louder than everyone else’s. And while Led Zeppelin […]

Why this Led Zeppelin album Paul Stanley called a “disaster”

Rock stars talk a lot of bollocks, but every now and then, one of them accidentally lands on something true.

Put your pitchforks down, […]

The singers Jimmy Page considered for Led Zeppelin before Robert Plant

Certain pillars of cultural history seem so inextricably linked to one another that the thought of an alternative is largely impossible. Imagine Gordon Ramsay without the word “fuck” or David Beckham with a receding hairline. You can’t, can you? The same goes for Led Zeppelin, in all honesty – I mean, how could their greatness […]

The record Jimmy Page said captured Led Zeppelin’s best live moments

It goes without saying that 1972 was a mammoth year for British stadium rock. The three biggest bands on the planet were all at their creative and live peaks as The Rolling Stones fired off one last classic entry of the golden album run with Exile on Main St, and The Who were setting the […]

“That’s better”: the album John Bonham almost lost a leg over

Whenever I watch a live show, there’s always one person I want to be: the drummer. One foot in their own world, and the other with their bandmates keeping time, they always look like the ones having the most fun. There’s a physicality to it that I envy, something that embodies the primal spirit of […]

What was “The whole story”: The song that signalled the end of Led Zeppelin

As a music critic, I often find myself conflicted over the balance of evolutionary innovation and the mastery of one single craft. Take David Bowie, for example; his entire DNA is rooted in his mercuriality that shifted with every new album. By the time the campaign rollout for his third album came, we were used […]
