I am with Jaimoe on this one Bouche. You had some differing opinions on Hendrix back in the day. Well, the early to mid 90's anyways.

But keep in mind that I hated Prince and couldnt believe you thought he was a "killer" guitar player. If that helps.........

if I remember correctly, you 2 were drunk.

I remember, correctly, that you were inexcusably sober and your Hendrix dis was sobering.

I think quite possibly at Dave's in Toronto he played me some Hendrix I had never seen on DVD and I was blown away. I hadn't seen footage like that before and I bought it as soon as I came home.

I didn't ever dislike him, I had just not seen quality video of him and didn't know it was available. So maybe there was some misunderstanding from you drunktards.

I did indeed play you some killer Hendrix. It was the Criterion box-set of The Montery Pop Festival with the complete Hendrix performance in DTS audio. Now, back to Page and Townshend...

Hopes fade for 2008 Led Zeppelin reunion tour

Fri Dec 14, 7:19 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Hopes of a Led Zeppelin reunion tour faded on Friday when singer Robert Plant said he would tour with U.S. country singer Alison Krauss in May.

There has been speculation the ageing rockers would embark on a full tour after their one-off concert on Monday in London received rave reviews.

Plant announced on his website that he and Krauss would be touring Britain and Europe in May.

The pair's Raising Sand tour is expected to be followed by U.S. dates in the middle of the year.

However, there have been rumors that Led Zeppelin, which inspired a generation of rock fans 30 years ago, may perform a number of shows at venues such as New York's Madison Square Garden and Britain's Glastonbury festival.

Robert Plant has definitively shot down any plans for a reunion tour.

Robert Plant says no to Led Zeppelin world tour and £100m

By Sean Hamilton Showbiz Editor Sean.

2/03/2008

Robert Plant has turned down an extra £100million fortune to take Led Zeppelin on a world tour.

The rock legend wants to concentrate on his new partnership with US country singer Alison Krauss... spelling the likely end of the famous band.

Led Zep fans had been longing for a tour announcement since last year - when the 1970s superstars reformed for a one-off show at London's O2 Arena.

Surviving members Plant, Robert Page and John Paul Jones were offered a guaranteed £100m each for a tour of North America and Europe after a million fans applied for O2 tickets.

But after extensive talks Led Zep - best known for the song Stairway To Heaven - decided against the moneymaking opportunity.

Guitarist Jimmy Page, 64, was keen to do the tour this year and was backed by bass player John Paul, 62.

But singer Plant, 59 - already worth an estimated £70million - wants to concentrate on his new success with US country singer Krauss. The pair's duet album Raising Sand went to No 2 in America and Britain and they are starting their own tour in April.

A band source said: "Despite the enormous offer, the decision did not come down to money. They always said they would do the one-off show and then see how they felt.

"Jimmy had enjoyed the concert in December enough to want to tour. He argued they still had something to offer. He likes the idea of another chapter in the band - the grown-up tour.

"John sided with Jimmy. He loved making music with the others again.

"But Robert wanted to leave last year's concert as their legacy. They had proved they could still do it and that was enough.

"He has other commitments and is happier looking forward to those. Robert put the mockers on the tour."
