The Greatest Rock Heavy Metal News Report
The biggest Led Zeppelin story (Are these dudes competing with Winehouse to stay in the news daily?), is of course the reunion concert that finally went off on Monday. Don’t know about you, but I’m calling mass-merchandising from this thing right now. You heard it here first. CD of the event, plus a DVD and god knows what else. How do I know that? A simple mathematical formula: 20,000 in attendance x $250 average ticket = $$$$.
Story floating around, it took forever for those in attendance to get through the merchandising vendors at the show. The line was that big. Everyone smells gold on Zep name, so it is only the beginning. Now I grew up on Led Zeppelin, so I love the band. I really do. But this has all the earmarks of a cash-in so I’ll remain skeptical of their motivation.
